DW Animation may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that DW Animation shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 3:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans or (b) 12:00 noon, New York City time on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) whether such borrowing shall consist of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, and (iv) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts thereof and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing under the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then Unutilized Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from DW Animation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

Such borrowing will then be made available to DW Animation by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of DW Animation on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the relevant Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent; provided that if, on the Borrowing Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, any Swingline Loans shall be outstanding, the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall first be applied to pay in full such Swingline Loans, with any remaining proceeds to be made available to DW Animation as provided above. 2.3 Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, JPMorgan Chase Bank (in such capacity, the "Swingline Lender") agrees to make available to DW Animation a portion of the credit otherwise available under the Commitments from time to time during the Commitment Period by making Swingline loans ("Swingline Loans") to DW Animation in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the Swingline Commitment (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender's other outstanding Loans hereunder, may exceed such Lender's Commitment then in effect). During the Commitment Period, DW Animation may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. All Swingline Loans shall at all times be ABR Loans. 2.4 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing. Whenever DW Animation desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans under Section 2.3 it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (a) the amount to be borrowed and (b) the requested Borrowing Date. Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of DW Animation at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.2 an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The proceeds of such Swingline Loan will then be made available to DW Animation on such Borrowing Date by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of DW Animation on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Swingline Lender and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. 17 2.5 Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of DW Animation (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), upon notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the relevant refunding date, request each Lender to make, and each such Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Credit Loan (which shall be an ABR Loan), in an amount equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the "Refunded Swingline Loans") outstanding on the date of such notice, to refund such Swingline Loans. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its office set forth in Section 10.2 in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender and immediately applied by the Swingline Lender to repay the Refunded Swingline Loans. Effective on the day such Revolving Credit Loans are made, the portion of the Swingline Loans so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans. (b) The making of any Swingline Loan hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent thereto set forth in Section 5.2 (unless otherwise waived in accordance with Section 10.1). The Swingline Lender shall notify DW Animation of its election not to make Swingline Loans hereunder as a result of the failure to satisfy such conditions precedent, unless an Event of Default of the type specified in Section 8.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing. (c) If, for any reason, Revolving Credit Loans may not be (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), or are not, made pursuant to Section 2.5(a) to repay Swingline Loans as required by said Section, then, effective on the date such Revolving Credit Loans would otherwise have been made, each Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase a participating interest in such Swingline Loans ("Unrefunded Swingline Loans") in an amount equal to the amount of Revolving Credit Loans which would otherwise have been made by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(a). Each such Lender will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation (the "Swingline Participation Amount"), and the proceeds of such participation shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender in such amount as will reduce the amount of the participating interest retained by the Swingline Lender in its Swingline Loans to the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans which were to have been made by it pursuant to Section 2.5(a). (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender's Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender's pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender. (e) Each Lender's obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.5(a) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or DW Animation may have against the Swingline Lender, DW Animation or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of DW Animation; (iv) any breach of 18 this Agreement or any other Loan Document by DW Animation or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 2.6 Commitment Fee. DW Animation agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (a "Commitment Fee"), computed at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the unutilized Commitment of such Lender for the period for which such payment is made. The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the last day of the Commitment Period, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Effective Date. For the purposes of this Section 2.6, Swingline Loans shall be deemed not to constitute utilization of the Commitments. 2.7 Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Mandatory Prepayments. (a) DW Animation shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any repayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, (i) the Facility Exposure would exceed the aggregate Commitments then in effect or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Lender would exceed such Lender's Commitment. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect. (b) The Commitments shall automatically be permanently reduced on the date of any Non-Excluded Asset Sale (each, a "Specified Non-Excluded Asset Sale") occurring on or after the date on which the aggregate fair market value of all assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with Non-Excluded Asset Sales since the Closing Date exceeds $50,000,000, such reduction to be in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such asset sale (or the Specified Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds, in the case of the first Specified Non-Excluded Asset Sale). As used in this Section 2.7(b), the term "Specified Percentage" means, with respect to the first Specified Non-Excluded Asset Sale, the quotient, expressed as a percentage, of (i) the excess of the aggregate fair market value of all assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with Non-Excluded Asset Sales (including such Specified Non-Excluded Asset Sale) since the Closing Date through the date of such Specified Non-Excluded Asset Sale over $50,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with such Specified Non-Excluded Asset Sale. (c) If, after giving effect to any reduction in the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.7(b), (i) the Aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Lender exceeds such Lender's Commitment or (ii) the Facility Exposure exceeds the aggregate Commitments, DW Animation shall, on the date of such reduction, prepay the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swingline Loans to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess; provided that if any such prepayment is insufficient to eliminate any such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), DW Animation shall, on the date of such reduction, to the extent of the balance of such excess, deposit an amount in cash in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the relevant Lenders on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which deposit shall be released to DW Animation from time to time in the amount of each subsequent reduction of such L/C Obligations. (d) Within ten Business Days after (i) the date of delivery of any Borrowing Availability Certificate showing that the Facility Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Availability then in effect or (ii) any date on which DW Animation shall otherwise become aware that the Facility Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Availability then in effect, DW Animation shall prepay the Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans (or, if no such Loans remain outstanding, cash collateralize L/Cs on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) in an amount sufficient to cause the Facility Exposure to be no greater than the 19 Borrowing Availability then in effect. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be made first to ABR Loans and second to Eurodollar Loans. 2.8 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) DW Animation hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the Scheduled Termination Date, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan and Swingline Loan made by such Lender. DW Animation hereby further agrees to pay interest in immediately available funds at the office of the Administrative Agent on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the Closing Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.12. (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of DW Animation to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is a Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, whether, if applicable, such Loan is an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, and any Interest Period applicable to such Loan, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from DW Animation to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from DW Animation and each Lender's share thereof. (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of DW Animation therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of DW Animation to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to DW Animation by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 2.9 Optional Prepayments. DW Animation may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least one Business Day's irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment, whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each; provided that notice of any prepayment of Swingline Loans may be delivered to the Administrative Agent as late as, but not later than, 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date of such prepayment. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (in the case of any Eurodollar Loans) any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.18 and (except in the case of ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof). Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof). 2.10 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) DW Animation may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day's prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans 20 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. DW Animation may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that no ABR Loan made by a particular Lender may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Scheduled Termination Date. (b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by DW Animation giving notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such after the date that is one month prior to the Scheduled Termination Date or when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if DW Animation shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. 2.11 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (a) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) there shall be no more than 10 Eurodollar Tranches outstanding at any time. 2.12 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. (c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any Commitment Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, Commitment Fee or other amount, equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (whether before or after judgment). (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Commitment Fees and interest (other than interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- or 366- (as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify DW Animation and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate in 21 respect of any Eurodollar Tranche. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify DW Animation and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on DW Animation and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of DW Animation, deliver to DW Animation a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.12(a). 2.14 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon DW Animation) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to DW Animation and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans and (y) any Loans that, on the first day of such Interest Period, were to be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Loans shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall DW Animation have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans. 2.15 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as contemplated by Section 2.7, (i) each reduction of the Commitments and each payment in respect of Commitment Fees shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders and (ii) each payment (including each prepayment) by DW Animation on account of principal of and interest on Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amount of such Loans then held by the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each payment (including each prepayment) by DW Animation on account of principal of and interest on Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amount of all such Loans then held by all Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by DW Animation hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent's office specified in Section 10.2, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) 22 unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to DW Animation a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.15(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from DW Animation. 2.16 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (other than tax laws), in each case made subsequent to the date hereof: (i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or (ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (other than an increase in taxes), by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in L/Cs or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, DW Animation shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16(a), it shall promptly notify DW Animation, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the date hereof, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under any L/C to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to DW Animation (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written 23 request therefor, DW Animation shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. (c) DW Animation agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under this Section 2.16(c) (by notice to DW Animation), on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against "Eurocurrency liability" under Regulation D of the Board (or, so long as such Lender may be required by the Board or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain reserves against any other "category of liabilities" under Regulation D of the Board (or, so long as such Lender may be required by the Board or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes any Eurodollar Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to DW Animation) representing such Lender's calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period, as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Eurodollar Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day of such Interest Period: (i) the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender to which such Interest Period relates and outstanding on such day; and (ii) the difference between (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Eurodollar Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan and the denominator of which is one minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by the Board or other Governmental Authority on such date, minus (y) such numerator; and (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is 360. Any Lender which gives notice under this Section 2.16(c) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent and DW Animation) in the event such Lender is no longer required to maintain such reserves or the circumstances giving rise to such notice shall otherwise cease to exist. (d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to DW Animation shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the request for compensation of such additional amounts and the method of computation thereof and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. DW Animation shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.16(c)) pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after receipt thereof. The obligations of DW Animation pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. (e) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Lender will notify DW Animation thereof. Failure on the part of any Lender so to notify DW Animation or to demand additional amounts with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand additional amounts with respect to such period or any other period; provided that DW Animation shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date (the "Cut-Off Date") that is six months prior to such request if such Lender was aware on the 24 Cut-Off Date of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would in fact result in such increased costs or reduction and provided, further, that the limitation in the preceding proviso shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Requirement of Law. 2.17 Taxes. (a) Except as otherwise required by law, all payments made by DW Animation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and branch profits taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that DW Animation shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Non-U.S. Lender if such Non-U.S. Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (c) of this Section 2.17. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by DW Animation, as promptly as possible thereafter DW Animation shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by DW Animation showing payment thereof. If DW Animation fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, DW Animation shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and the Transferees) for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. (b) If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of a tax for which a payment has been made by DW Animation pursuant to this Section 2.17, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by DW Animation, then the Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse DW Animation (without interest, other than interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund) for such amount as the Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been if the payment had not been required. Each Lender (or Transferee) and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. Neither any Lender (or Transferee) nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to DW Animation in connection with this paragraph (b) or any other provision of this Section 2.17. 25 (c) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to DW Animation and the Administrative Agent two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest", a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by DW Animation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a "New Lending Office"). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify DW Animation at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to DW Animation (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(c), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17, DW Animation shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) above to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a Participant, on the date such Participant became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan. (e) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by DW Animation if the making of such a filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee). (f) Each Lender (or Transferee) represents that it is not, and agrees that at all times during the term of this Agreement will not be, a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement (as defined in Section 7701(l) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) with respect to any Loan. 2.18 Indemnity. DW Animation agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by DW Animation in making a borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or in the conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after DW Animation has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by DW Animation in making any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans after DW Animation has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or the proposed 26 Interest Period), in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the margin included therein) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. The obligations contained in this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.19 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender (or Transferee) agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.16 or 2.17 with respect to such Lender (or Transferee), it will, if requested by DW Animation, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender (or Transferee)) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.19 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of DW Animation or the rights of any Lender (or Transferee) pursuant to Sections 2.16 and 2.17. 2.20 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. DW Animation shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17 or (b) defaults in its obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans hereunder, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) DW Animation shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) DW Animation shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.18 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that DW Animation shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, DW Animation shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17, as the case may be, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which DW Animation, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender or that the replaced Lender shall have under this Agreement. SECTION 3. L/CS 3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.3(a), agrees to issue L/Cs ("L/Cs") for the account of DW Animation on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the L/C Issuer; provided that the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to issue any L/C if, after giving effect to such issuance, the sum of the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment. Each L/C (i) shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) shall expire no later than the earlier of (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Scheduled Termination Date and (y) the first anniversary of the date of issuance thereof, provided that any L/C with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods, and provided, further, that in no event shall such L/C extend beyond the date that is the fifth Business Day prior to the Scheduled Termination Date) and (iii) unless otherwise agreed by the L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, shall be in a face amount of at least $1,000,000. It is understood that the letter of credit described on Schedule 3.1 hereto shall be a "L/C" for all purposes of this Agreement. 27 (b) The L/C Issuer shall not at any time be obligated to issue any L/C hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the L/C Issuer or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of L/Cs. DW Animation may from time to time request that the L/C Issuer issue an L/C by delivering to the L/C Issuer at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the L/C Issuer, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the L/C Issuer may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the L/C Issuer will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the L/C requested thereby (but in no event shall the L/C Issuer be required to issue any L/C earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such L/C to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the L/C Issuer and DW Animation. The L/C Issuer shall furnish a copy of such L/C to DW Animation and each Lender promptly following the issuance thereof. 3.3 L/C Participations. (a) The L/C Issuer irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the L/C Issuer to issue L/Cs hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the L/C Issuer, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant's own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Commitment Percentage in the L/C Issuer's obligations and rights under each L/C and the amount of each draft paid by the L/C Issuer thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the L/C Issuer that, if a draft is paid under any L/C for which the L/C Issuer is not reimbursed in full by DW Animation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the L/C Issuer upon demand at the L/C Issuer's address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.3(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any L/C is paid to the L/C Issuer within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the L/C Issuer on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted by the L/C Issuer, during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a) is not in fact made available to the L/C Issuer by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.3 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (c) Whenever, at any time after the L/C Issuer has made payment under any L/C and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.3(a), the L/C Issuer receives any payment related to such L/C (whether directly from DW Animation or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the L/C Issuer will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the L/C Issuer shall be required to be returned by the L/C Issuer, such L/C Participant shall return to the L/C Issuer the portion thereof previously distributed by the L/C Issuer to it. 28 3.4 Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) DW Animation shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a letter of credit commission with respect to each L/C at a rate per annum equal to 1.75% on the average daily amount available to be drawn under such L/C during the period for which payment is made. Such commission shall be payable to the Lenders (including JPMorgan Chase Bank) to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. In addition, DW Animation shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the sole account of the L/C Issuer, a fronting fee with respect to each L/C at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% on the average daily amount available to be drawn under such L/C during the period for which payment is made. Each such letter of credit commission and fronting fee shall be payable in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date. (b) In addition to the foregoing commissions and fees, DW Animation shall pay or reimburse the L/C Issuer for such reasonable and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the L/C Issuer in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any L/C. 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of DW Animation. DW Animation agrees to reimburse the L/C Issuer on each date on which the L/C Issuer notifies DW Animation of the date and amount of a draft presented under any L/C and paid by the L/C Issuer for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the L/C Issuer at its address for notices specified herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by DW Animation under this Section 3.5 from and including the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to but not including the date of payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans which were then overdue. Each drawing under any L/C shall constitute a request by DW Animation to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans which are ABR Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing, and the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amounts drawn under such L/C. 3.6 Obligations Absolute. DW Animation's obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which DW Animation may have or have had against the L/C Issuer or any beneficiary of an L/C. DW Animation also agrees with the L/C Issuer that, except as contemplated by the next succeeding sentence, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for, and DW Animation's Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among DW Animation and any beneficiary of any L/C or any other party to which such L/C may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of DW Animation against any beneficiary of such L/C or any such transferee. The L/C Issuer shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any L/C, except to the extent of any errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer. DW Animation agrees that any action taken or omitted by the L/C Issuer under or in connection with any L/C or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall be binding on DW Animation and shall not result in any liability of the L/C Issuer to DW Animation. 3.7 L/C Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any L/C, the applicable L/C Issuer shall promptly notify DW Animation of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the L/C Issuer to DW Animation in connection with any draft presented for payment under any L/C shall, in 29 addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such L/C, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such L/C in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such L/C. 3.8 Applications; Uniform Customs. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any L/C is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. Each L/C shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the L/Cs, DW Animation hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 4.1 Financial Statements. The audited consolidated balance sheets of DW Animation as at December 31, 2001, December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Ernst & Young LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of DW Animation as at each such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated retained earnings and cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of DW Animation as at March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the portion of the fiscal year ended on each such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of DW Animation as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated retained earnings and cash flows for the portion of the fiscal year then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). Except as set forth in Schedule 4.1, DW Animation and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the audited financial statements as at December 31, 2003 referred to in this paragraph. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, during the period from December 31, 2003 to and including the date hereof there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by DW Animation or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property. 4.2 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2003 there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of DW Animation and each of its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except to the extent that the failure to qualify therein could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform each Loan Document to which it is a party 30 and, in the case of DW Animation, to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of DW Animation, the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of DW Animation or of any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). 4.6 No Material Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of DW Animation, threatened by or against DW Animation or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.7 No Default. Neither DW Animation nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of DW Animation and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.2. 4.9 Intellectual Property. DW Animation and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes (the "Intellectual Property") necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except for those the failure to own or license which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does DW Animation know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by DW Animation and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.10 Taxes. Each of DW Animation and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns which, to the knowledge of DW Animation, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which is currently 31 being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of DW Animation or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of DW Animation, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. 4.11 Accuracy of Information. Neither the Confidential Information Memorandum (taken as a whole and as supplemented by DW Animation prior to the date hereof) nor this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (excluding the projections, financial models and business plans referred to in the next succeeding sentence), contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the Closing Date) any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading. The projections, financial models and business plans that have been or are hereafter prepared by DW Animation or any of its representatives and made available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the management of DW Animation to be reasonable, it being recognized that such projections, financial models and business plans, as they relate to future events, are not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ materially from the projected results set forth therein. There is no fact known to any Credit Party on the Closing Date that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information Memorandum or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents. 4.12 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for "buying" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, DW Animation will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in said Regulation U. 4.13 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 liability which could reasonably be expected to result could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred except where, in connection with any such termination, the liability that could reasonably be expected to result could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no Lien that remains undischarged in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based 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 in each case to the extent that the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither DW Animation nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and neither DW Animation nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if DW Animation 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, 32 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 except where, in any such case, the liability that could reasonably be expected to result could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. DW Animation is not an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. DW Animation is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 4.15 Subsidiaries. Set forth on Schedule 4.15 are the Subsidiaries of DW Animation as of the date hereof. 4.16 Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by DW Animation for general purposes including, without limitation, to finance the development, production and distribution costs of entertainment software and to finance acquisitions and investments. 4.17 Security Documents. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 4.17(a) in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.17(a), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.2). SECTION 5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT 5.1 Conditions to Initial Extension of Credit.

Each borrowing by and issuance of an L/C on behalf of DW Animation hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by DW Animation as of the date of such extension of credit that the conditions contained in this Section 5.2 have been satisfied. SECTION 6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS DW Animation hereby agrees that, so long as the Commitments remain in effect, any L/C remains outstanding, or any amount is owing to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, DW Animation shall and (except in the case of delivery of financial information, reports and notices) shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to: 6.1 Financial Statements.

In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of DW Animation, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of DW Animation and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of DW Animation. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of DW Animation which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by DW Animation and without limiting the obligation of DW Animation to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the amounts owing hereunder) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with DW Animation as though the Agent were not an Agent. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as 47 though it were not an Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by DW Animation (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 9.10 The Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent. None of the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent in its capacity as such shall have any rights, duties or responsibilities hereunder, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against any of the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent in its capacity as such. SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with DW Animation and, in the case of the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guarantors, written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1, reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the amount of any Reimbursement Obligation, or reduce the stated rate of any interest, fee or commission payable to any Lender hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the scheduled expiration date of any Lender's Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or (ii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of the term "Required Lenders", consent to the assignment or transfer by DW Animation of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders; or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon DW Animation, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the obligations owing hereunder. In the case of any waiver (unless otherwise specified in such waiver), DW Animation, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to 48 their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 10.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of DW Animation and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent in the case of the other parties hereto, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto: DW Animation: DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. 1000 Flower Street Glendale, California 91201 Attention: ______________ Telecopy: The Administrative Agent: JPMorgan Chase Bank Loan and Agency Services Group 1111 Fannin Houston, Texas 77002 Attention: Maryann Bui Telecopy: 713-750-2878 with a copy to: JPMorgan Chase Bank 1999 Avenue of the Stars, 27th Floor Los Angeles, California 90067 Attention: Clark Hallren Telecopy: 310-860-7260 provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.4, 2.7, 2.9, 2.10 or 3.2 shall not be effective until received. 10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (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 permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the L/C Issuer that issues any LC), except that (i) DW Animation may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by DW Animation without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an "Assignee") all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: (A) DW Animation (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of DW Animation shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and (B) the Administrative Agent. (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 50 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of DW Animation and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of DW Animation shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire. For the purposes of this Section 10.6, "Approved Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of DW Animation, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and DW Animation, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee's completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 51 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of DW Animation or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) DW Animation, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the other Lenders 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 a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, DW Animation agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with DW Animation's prior written consent. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.17(c). (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (e) DW Animation, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of DW Animation or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b). Each of DW Animation, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a "benefitted Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or 52 proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Loans, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's Loan and/or of the Reimbursement Obligations owing to such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without prior notice to DW Animation, any such notice being expressly waived by DW Animation to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by DW Animation hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of DW Animation. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify DW Animation and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with DW Animation and the Administrative Agent. 10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of DW Animation, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 10.11 GOVERNING LAW.
