(a) We have an uncommitted multicurrency overdraft facility for EUR 5.0 million (approximately US$ 6.8 million) from Bank Mendes Gans (“BMG”), a subsidiary of ING Bank N.V. (“ING”), as part of a cash pooling arrangement. The cash pooling arrangement with BMG enables us to receive credit across the group in respect of cash balances which our subsidiaries in The Netherlands, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Romania, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia deposit with BMG. Cash deposited by our subsidiaries with BMG is pledged as security against the drawings of other subsidiaries up to the amount deposited.  Under the facility, we are permitted to draw EUR 5.0 million (approximately US$ 6.8 million) in excess of amounts deposited.

As at September 30, 2011, we had deposits of US$ 36.4 million in and drawings of US$ 3.1 million on the BMG cash pool. Drawings on the BMG cash pool did not exceed deposits at any time during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Interest is earned on deposits at the relevant money market rate and interest is payable on all drawings at the relevant money market rate plus 2.0%.  As at December 31, 2010, we had deposits of US$ 20.3 million in and drawings of US$ 12.3 million on the BMG cash pool.

(b) On October 21, 2010, CET 21 entered into a five-year CZK 1.5 billion (approximately US$ 81.8 million) secured revolving credit facility (the “Secured Revolving Credit Facility”) with BNP Paribas S.A., J.P. Morgan plc, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, ING and Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. (“CSAS”), as mandated lead arrangers and original lenders, BNP Paribas S.A., as agent, BNP Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited, as security agent, and CME Ltd., CME NV, CME BV, CME Investments B.V., CME SH and Markiza as the original guarantors. Interest under the facility is calculated at a rate per annum of 4.5% above Prague Interbank Offered Rate ("PRIBOR") for the relevant interest period. The Secured Revolving Credit Facility will decrease to CZK 750.0 million (approximately US$ 40.9 million) on the fourth anniversary of the signing date.  Drawings under the facility by CET 21 are expected to be used for working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes. The Secured Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default. The covenants include limitations on CET 21's ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make disposals and to carry out certain other types of transactions.  We drew CZK 1.0 billion (approximately US$ 54.6 million) under the Secured Revolving Credit Facility on September 26, 2011, which was outstanding on September 30, 2011. We drew a further CZK 500.0 million (approximately US$ 27.3 million) on October 5, 2011, and the facility remains fully drawn (see Note 21, "Subsequent Events"). No amount had been drawn at December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, CET 21 had an interest rate swap to hedge the interest rate exposure on the future outstanding principal under the Secured Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 12, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements”).

(c) As at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, there were no drawings outstanding under a CZK 300.0 million (approximately US$ 16.4 million) working capital credit facility with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna (“FCS”).  This facility is secured by a pledge of receivables under a factoring agreement with FCS and is available indefinitely, subject to a three-month notice period.  The facility bears interest at one-month PRIBOR plus 2.5% for the period that actively assigned accounts receivable are outstanding.

(d) At September 30, 2011, Media Pro Entertainment had an aggregate principal amount of RON 7.5 million (approximately US$ 2.3 million) (December 31, 2010, RON 9.3 million, approximately US$ 2.9 million) of loans outstanding with the Central National al Cinematografei ("CNC"), a Romanian governmental organization which provides financing for qualifying filmmaking projects. Upon acceptance of a particular project, the CNC awards an agreed level of funding to each project in the form of an interest-free loan. Loans from the CNC are typically advanced for a period of ten years and are repaid through the proceeds from the distribution of the film content.  At September 30, 2011, we had 12 loans outstanding with the CNC with maturity dates ranging from 2011 to 2020. The carrying amounts at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are net of a fair value adjustment of US$ 1.0 million and US$ 1.2 million, respectively, arising on acquisition.
