All payments of principal and interest with respect to the Subordinated Loan shall be made by wire transfer in Dollars in same day funds to the HBO Payment Account (or to such other account as HBO may direct in writing to DreamWorks Animation). Whenever any payment on the Subordinated Loan is stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be made on the next Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest payable on the Subordinated Loan. Each payment made hereunder will be credited first to interest then due and the remainder of such payment will be credited to principal, and interest will thereupon cease to accrue upon the principal so credited.

SECTION 2.06 Interest.

(a) Subject to Section 6.04, the Subordinated Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus 0.50% (50 basis points) per annum (the “Interest Rate”); provided, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the following events: (1) an Event of Default; (2) a material default by DreamWorks under the HBO License Agreement; (3) a material default by DreamWorks Animation under the Attornment Agreement; or (4) the failure on the part of DreamWorks Animation duly to observe or perform the covenants and agreements contained in Section 5.05, the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest and other amounts not paid when due, shall bear interest at a rate that is 4.00% (400 basis points) per annum in excess of the Interest Rate (the “Post-Default Rate”).

(b) Subject to Section 2 of the Subordinated Note, interest on the Subordinated Loan shall be due and payable (1) quarterly in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period; (2) upon any prepayment or repayment of the Subordinated Loan (to the extent so prepaid or repaid); and (3) on the Scheduled Maturity Date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate per annum determined in accordance with Section 2.06(a). Interest on the Subordinated Loan shall accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid on the Subordinated Loan to but not including the date of payment, or if no interest has been paid thereon, from the date of issuance thereof until payment in full of the principal thereof. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) Anything in this Agreement or the Subordinated Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the interest rate on the Subordinated Loan shall in no event be in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 2.07 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from the Subordinated Loan have been used to repay, in part, the senior debt of DreamWorks and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts; or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or DreamWorks Animation shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (2) there shall be commenced against DreamWorks Animation any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (1) above which (i) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment; or (ii) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days; or (3) there shall be commenced against DreamWorks Animation any case, proceeding or other action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets which results in the entry of an order for any such relief which shall not have been vacated, discharged or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or (4) DreamWorks Animation shall take any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clause (1), (2) or (3) above; or (5) DreamWorks Animation shall generally not, or shall be unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due.

SECTION 6.02 Remedies for Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of each and every Event of Default, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the following shall occur and HBO may take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:

(a) interest on the Subordinated Loan shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate;

(b) subject to the pendency of a Remedies Bar Period, by notice in writing to DreamWorks Animation, HBO may declare the entire principal amount of the Subordinated Loan, together with all accrued interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by DreamWorks Animation; provided, however,

(1) in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01(e), notwithstanding any Remedies Bar Period or the provisions of Section 2 of the Subordinated Note, the principal amount then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, the Subordinated Loan shall automatically become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by DreamWorks Animation; and

(2) in the case of an occurrence of an Event of Default other than an Event of Default referred to in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01(e), so long as any part of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, HBO shall provide to the Designated Senior Agent a copy of the notice provided to DreamWorks in accordance with this Section 6.02(b) and shall not exercise its remedies under this Section 6.02(b) until 5 Business Days after such notice is delivered to the Designated Senior Agent.

(c) subject to the pendency of a Remedies Bar Period, HBO may exercise its rights and remedies in the Collateral and against DreamWorks Animation as provided under the Animation

Security Agreement; provided, however, so long as any part of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, HBO shall not be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies provided in this Section 6.02(c) until the Scheduled Maturity Date (but without limiting any of HBO’s other rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Subordinated Loan Document).

For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 6.02(c), HBO shall be entitled to exercise any and all of its rights and remedies against DreamWorks upon the conclusion of any Remedies Bar Period.

SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies for Breach.

(a) HBO shall be entitled to charge interest at the Post-Default Rate in accordance with Section 2.06(a).

(b) Subject to Section 2 of the Subordinated Note, if:

(1) any representation, warranty, certification or statement made by DreamWorks Animation in any Subordinated Loan Document shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or furnished; or

(2) DreamWorks Animation shall fail to duly observe or perform any covenants or agreements contained in the Subordinated Loan Documents to which it is a party;

HBO shall be entitled to exercise any of its equitable remedies arising by contract or under applicable law, including the right to seek injunctive relief; provided, however,

(i) in no event would such breaches or defaults give rise to any right of HBO to accelerate the maturity of the Subordinated Loan or to foreclose upon or otherwise exercise remedies in respect of the Collateral;

(ii) so long as any part of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, HBO shall provide to the Designated Senior Agent a notice of such default and shall not exercise its remedies under this Section 6.03(b) until 5 Business Days after such notice is delivered to the Designated Senior Agent; and

(iii) so long as any part of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, in the case of a breach or default with respect to Section 5.05, HBO shall not exercise its remedies under this Section 6.03(b) without the consent of the Senior Lenders (although interest on the Subordinated Loan shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate with respect to such default regardless of whether any such consent has been obtained).

SECTION 6.04 Limitation Events. If Jeffrey Katzenberg does not continue to remain actively involved in the operation of the business of DreamWorks Animation, the interest rate on the Subordinated Loan will automatically increase by 2.00% (200 basis points) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable in accordance with Section 2.06(a).

SECTION 6.05 No Effect Upon HBO License Agreement or HBO Senior Security Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby agree that nothing in this Agreement or in any other Subordinated Loan Document shall be construed or interpreted as having any impact of any kind or nature whatsoever on HBO’s rights and remedies arising under the HBO License Agreement, the HBO Senior Security Agreement, the Attornment Agreement and all related documentation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby agree that nothing in this Agreement or in any other Subordinated Loan Document shall be construed so as to amend, modify or alter the calculation, amount or payment of the Annual Prepayment or License Fee (as each such term is defined in the HBO License Agreement) under the HBO License Agreement.
