AMENDMENT NO. 8 TO
LIMITED FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT NO. 8 dated as of September 14, 2001 (the "Amendment"), to
Limited Forbearance Agreement dated as of January 11, 2001, as heretofore
amended (the "Forbearance Agreement") among THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ COMPANY (the
"Borrower"), its subsidiaries (the "Guarantors", and together with the
Borrower, the "Credit Parties"), the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement
defined below (the "Lenders") and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK (formerly known as
Chemical Bank), as Agent and as Fronting Bank for the Lenders (the "Agent").
The Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent are parties to a
Credit, Security, Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, dated as of June 16, 1996, as
amended (the "Credit Agreement").
As set forth in Section 1 of the Forbearance Agreement, Defaults and
Events of Default under the Credit Agreement have occurred and are continuing.
In order to allow the Borrower additional time to prepare for the proposed sale
of its film library and related accounts receivable and to explore various
restructuring options, the Borrower has requested that the Agent and the
Lenders amend the Forbearance Agreement to (i) extend the Lenders' agreement
to forebear from applying collections in respect of the Credit Parties'
receivables to repayment of the Loans, (ii) release an additional portion of
such collections to fund operating expenses of the Credit Parties and (iii)
make certain other modifications to the Forbearance Agreement.
The Agent and the Lenders have agreed to the foregoing requests, all on
the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.
Accordingly, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are
used as defined in the Forbearance Agreement.
2. Amendments to Forbearance Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of
the condition precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Forbearance
Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the Effective Date (as hereinafter
defined) as follows:
(a) The reference to "September 19, 2001" as the Stated Expiration
Date set forth in Section 2 of the Forbearance Agreement is hereby amended to
be "October 31, 2001."
(b) The Disbursement Schedule attached as Exhibit A to the
Forbearance Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the Disbursement
Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Amendment.

3. Condition to Effectiveness. The provisions of Section 2 of this
Amendment shall not become effective unless and until the Agent shall have
received counterparts of this Agreement executed by each of the parties hereto
(the date of such receipt, the "Effective Date").
4. Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly amended hereby, the
Forbearance Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance
with the provisions thereof on the date hereof. As used in the Forbearance
Agreement, the terms "Agreement", "this Agreement", "herein", "hereafter",
"hereto", "hereof", and words of similar import shall, unless the context
otherwise requires, mean the Forbearance Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
5. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute but one instrument.
7. Headings. The headings of this Amendment are for the purposes of
reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Amendment.
