DREAMWORKSANIMATIONSKG,INC. NOTESTOCONSOLIDATEDFINANCIALSTATEMENTS—(Continued) In the event that the Distribution Agreement with DreamWorks Studios is terminated, the Company remains subject to the terms of the DreamWorks Studios’ 2003 Universal Agreement, including the obligation to pay distribution fees and to pay distribution expenses as they are incurred. The Company will not have the right to terminate the 2003 Universal Agreement unless and until (i) DreamWorks Studios has repaid all amounts it owes to Universal Studios, including in respect of investments and advances which aggregate $125 million as of December 31, 2004, (ii) the Company has repaid all amounts owed to Universal Studios, and (iii) Universal Studios has received an aggregate of $75 million of net proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s commonstock. (e) Revolving Credit Facility. In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a five-year $200 million revolving credit facility with a number of banks. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Interest on borrowed amounts is determined either at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% or the alternate base rate (which is generally the prime rate) plus 0.75% per annum. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts at an annual rate of 0.50% on any date when more then $100 million is outstanding under the credit facility and 0.75% on any other date. The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The Company borrowed $101.4 million on the credit facility in October 2004 to repay an equivalent amount of debt of DreamWorks Studios in connection with the Separation. In November 2004, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance. As of December 31, 2004 there were no borrowings on the credit facility. (f) HBO Subordinated Notes. In connection with the Separation, the Company assumed $80 million of subordinated notes issued by DreamWorks Studios in December 2000 pursuant to a subordinated loan agreement, $30 million of which was repaid with the proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering. The subordinated notes bear interest in amount equal to the Eurodollar rate plus 0.50% per annum and are due in November 2007. The subordinated notes are secured by a lien in favor of HBO that is junior to the security interest in certain exhibition rights related to DreamWorks Studios films. The subordinated notes are recorded net of a discount of $4.0 million, which is to be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the subordinated loan agreement. In the event that DreamWorks Studios ceases to be the Company’s distributor, the Company remains obligated to continue to license its films to HBO under the terms of DreamWorks Studios’ license agreement with HBO. The terms of the notes require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. AsofDecember31,2004theCompanywasincompliancewithallapplicable debt covenants. 7. Commitments and Contingencies On December 31, 2003, the Company adopted Interpretation 46, as revised, and has consolidated the special-purpose entity that acquired the Glendale animation campus by recording the lease obligation as debt and increasing property, plant and equipment (see Notes 5 & 6). The Company is allocated lease expense by DreamWorks Studios for certain non-cancelable office space and equipment operating leases. Certain of these office leases contain escalations in the monthly rental amounts. DreamWorks Studios has also entered into several operating leases for furniture, computers and production equipment with terms ranging from three to five years. These leases also provide for certain termination and purchase options. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Company incurred lease expense, including that allocated by DreamWorks Studios, of approximately $9.8 million, $11.6 million, and $7.5 million, respectively. 86
