(Date)
FOR
VALUE
RECEIVED, Point.360,
a
corporation located at the address stated below ("Maker")
promises, jointly and severally if more than one, to pay to the order of
General
Electric Capital Corporation
or any
subsequent holder hereof (each, a "Payee")
at its
office located at 2400
E. Katella Avenue, Suite 800, Anaheim, CA 92806
or at
such other place as Payee may designate as follows:
(a)
the
principal sum of Two
Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00),
and
(b)
interest on the unpaid principal balance from the date hereof through and
including the dates of payment, at a fixed, simple interest rate of Eight and
35/100 percent (8.35%) per annum (the "Contract
Rate")
in
Forty-Five (45) consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest
as
follows:

Periodic
Installment

(each,
a
"Periodic
Installment")
and a
final installment which shall be in the amount of the total outstanding and
unpaid principal, accrued interest and any and all amounts due hereunder and
under the other Debt Documents (as defined below). The first Periodic
Installment shall be due and payable on May
1,
2007
and the
following Periodic Installments and the final installment shall be due and
payable on the same day of each succeeding period (each, a "Payment
Date").
All
payments shall be applied: first,
to
interest due and unpaid hereunder and under the other Debt Documents;
second,
to all
other amounts due and unpaid hereunder and under the other Debt Documents,
and
then to principal due hereunder and under the other Debt Documents. The
acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all
amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Payee's
right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent
time. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or a 366-day
leap year, as applicable) and will be charged at the Contract Rate for each
calendar day on which any principal is outstanding. The payment of any Periodic
Installment after its due date shall result in a corresponding decrease in
the
portion of the Periodic Installment credited to the remaining unpaid principal
balance. The payment of any Periodic Installment prior to its due date shall
result in a corresponding increase in the portion of the Periodic Installment
credited to the remaining unpaid principal balance.
All
amounts due hereunder and under the other Debt Documents are payable in the
lawful currency of the United States of America. Maker hereby expressly
authorizes Payee to insert the date value is actually given in the blank space
on the face hereof and on all related documents pertaining hereto.
This
Note
may be secured by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge agreement
or
like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a "Security
Agreement",
and
collectively with any other document or agreement related thereto or to this
Note, the "Debt
Documents").
Time
is
of the essence hereof. If Payee does not receive from Maker payment in full
of
any Periodic Installment or any other sum due under this Note or any other
Debt
Document is not received within ten (10) days after its due date, Maker agrees
to pay a late fee equal to five percent (5%) on such late Periodic Installment
or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum. Such late fee will be
immediately due and payable, and is in addition to any other costs, fees and
expenses that Maker may owe as a result of such late payment. Additionally,
if
(i) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due hereunder within ten (10)
days
after the same becomes due and payable; or (ii) Maker is in default under,
or
fails to perform under any term or condition contained in any Debt Document,
then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid, together with all accrued
interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any other Debt
Document, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and payable,
with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or
the
highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated
maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment). The application of
such 18% interest rate shall not be interpreted or deemed to extend any cure
period set forth in this Note or any other Debt Document, cure any default
or
otherwise limit Payee's right or remedies hereunder or under any Debt
Document.
Maker
may
prepay in full, but not in part, all outstanding amounts hereunder before they
are due on any scheduled Payment Date upon at least thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to Payee. Payee is authorized and entitled to apply any amounts
paid by Maker as a prepayment of indebtedness to delinquent interest or other
amounts due and owing from Maker to Payee hereunder and under any other Debt
Documents before application of such funds to principal outstanding
hereunder.
If
Maker
makes a prepayment of this Note for any reason, Maker shall pay irrevocably
and
in full to Payee (i) all outstanding principal amounts, (ii) all accrued
interest, (iii) the Prepayment Fee (as defined below) and (iv) any and all
other
amounts due hereunder or under the other Debt Documents. Maker specifically
acknowledges that, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, it shall
be
liable for the Prepayment Fee on any acceleration hereof or under the other
Debt
Documents. In the event of an acceleration hereof or under the other Debt
Documents, the Prepayment Fee shall be determined as if (a) Maker prepaid this
Note in full immediately before such acceleration and (b) the prepayment notice
referred to above was received by Payee thirty (30) days prior to such
date.
For
purposes hereof, "Prepayment
Fee"
shall be
an amount equal to (i) Make Whole Amount plus (ii) an additional sum equal
to
the following percentage of remaining principal balance for prepayments
occurring in the indicated period: Two percent (2%) (for prepayments occurring
prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof), Two percent (2%) (for
prepayments occurring on and after the first anniversary of the date hereof
but
prior to the second anniversary of the date hereof), One percent (1%) (for
prepayments occurring on and after the second anniversary of the date hereof
but
prior to the third anniversary of the date hereof) and zero percent (0%) (for
prepayments occurring any time thereafter). For the purpose hereof, the term
"Make
Whole Amount"
means
(i) the net present value of the remaining scheduled principal and interest
payments (including any balloon or other amount of principal payable that but
for the prepayment of this Note would be payable on or prior to the scheduled
maturity date hereof), discounted to the prepayment date at a per annum interest
rate equal to the then Reinvestment Rate (as defined below) minus (ii) the
principal balance outstanding as of the prepayment date (immediately prior
to
any such prepayment); provided, that the Make Whole Amount shall be deemed
zero
if the calculation results in a negative number. For purposes hereof, the term
"Reinvestment
Rate"
means
the per annum interest rate that is equal to the sum of (a) Three and 85/100
percent (3.85%) plus (b) the stated yield to maturity of United States Treasury
Notes having a life equal to the remaining term of this Note as stated in the
most current Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) on the day Payee
receives the prepayment notice. If no maturity exactly corresponds to the
remaining term of this Note, the Treasury Note life to be adopted from Federal
Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) shall correspond to a full
number-of-years period, excluding partial years of such remaining
term.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if during the first year of the term of this Note, Maker proposes
to engage in a transaction to change its controlling ownership, which Payee
determines, in its sole discretion, requires payment in full of all outstanding
obligations under this Note, then provided there exists no default hereunder
or
under any other Debt Document at such time, Maker shall have no obligations
to
Payee for the foregoing Prepayment Fee or Make Whole Amount in connection with
such prepayment.
It
is the
intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury laws;
accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
in
this Note or any other Debt Document, in no event shall this Note or any other
Debt Document require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess
of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any such excess interest
is contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any other Debt
Document, or if all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under
any
of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received
under this Note or any other Debt Document on the principal balance shall exceed
the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then in such event:
(a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither
Maker
nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof
shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it
is
in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, (c)
any
such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit
against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Maker, at the option
of
Payee, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced
to
the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now or
hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further
agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate
of
interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Debt
Document which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds
the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal
parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced
hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Maker
or otherwise by Payee in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however,
that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States
of
America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for Payee
to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently allowed, Maker
agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or preemption, as the
case
may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest
per annum rate allowed by the amended state law or the law of the United States
of America.
Maker
hereby consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or
modifications of, and all substitutions or releases of, security or of any
party
primarily or secondarily liable on this Note or any other Debt Document or
any
term and provision of either, which may be made, granted or consented to by
Payee, and agrees that suit may be brought and maintained against Maker and/or
any and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others who may at any time
become liable for payments and performance under this Note and any other Debt
Documents (each such person, other than Maker, an "Obligor"),
at
the
election of Payee without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that
Payee shall not be required first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust
any
security hereof in order to enforce payment of this Note. Maker hereby waives
presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of
protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith,
as
well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this
Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if permitted
by
law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee's actual attorneys'
fees.
THIS
NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE
OF CONNECTICUT.
MAKER
IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL
COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND TO SETTLE ANY DISPUTES, WHICH MAY ARISE OUT OF OR
IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH AND WITH THE DEBT DOCUMENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE
"PROCEEDINGS"), AND MAKER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO
REMOVE ANY SUCH PROCEEDINGS FROM ANY SUCH COURT (EVEN IF REMOVAL IS SOUGHT
TO
ANOTHER OF THE ABOVE-NAMED COURTS). MAKER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
WHICH
IT MIGHT NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE ABOVE-NAMED COURTS BEING NOMINATED AS
THE
EXCLUSIVE FORUM TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY SUCH PROCEEDINGS AND AGREES NOT TO
CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE ABOVE-NAMED
COURTS FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, THAT IT OR ITS PROPERTY IS IMMUNE FROM LEGAL
PROCESS FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS NOT A CONVENIENT
OR
APPROPRIATE FORUM IN EACH CASE WHETHER ON THE GROUNDS OF VENUE OR FORUM
NON-CONVENIENS OR OTHERWISE. MAKER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BRINGING ANY SUCH SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT OTHER THAN THE COURTS SET FORTH ABOVE WILL
CAUSE IRREPARABLE HARM TO PAYEE WHICH COULD NOT ADEQUATELY BE COMPENSATED BY
MONETARY DAMAGES, AND, AS SUCH, MAKER AGREES THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY OF THE
REMEDIES TO WHICH PAYEE MAY BE ENTITLED AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, PAYEE WILL BE
ENTITLED TO AN INJUNCTION OR INJUNCTIONS (WITHOUT THE POSTING OF ANY BOND AND
WITHOUT PROOF OF ACTUAL DAMAGES) TO ENJOIN THE PROSECUTION OF ANY SUCH
PROCEEDINGS IN ANY OTHER COURT. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each of Maker and Payee shall have the right to apply to a court
of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America or abroad for
equitable relief as is necessary to preserve, protect and enforce its respective
rights under this Note and any other Debt Document, including, but not limited
to orders of attachment or injunction necessary to maintain the status quo
pending litigation or to enforce judgments against Maker, any Obligor or the
collateral pledged to Payee pursuant to any Debt Document or to gain possession
of such collateral.
MAKER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM
OR
CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS
NOTE,

MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP
THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER
IS
INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN
ANY

IRREVOCABLE MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING,
AND
THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS
OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS NOTE, ANY DEBT DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR
AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION. IN THE
EVENT
OF LITIGATION, THIS NOTE MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE
COURT.

with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
understandings, agreements and representations, express or implied.
