ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 24, 2008, DreamWorks Animation SKG, In. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, and the several lenders from time to time that are parties thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as documentation agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.

The Credit Agreement allows the Company to have outstanding borrowings of up to $125 million at any one time, on a revolving loan basis. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at rates determined by reference to the lending bank’s base rate or to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a specified margin. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Credit Agreement also contains sublimits for letters of credit and “swingline” loans. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a specified leverage ratio. Subject to specific exceptions, the Credit Agreement also prohibits the Company from taking certain actions, such as granting liens, entering into any merger or other significant transaction and engaging in transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement terminates on June 24, 2013. There are currently no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Company has had, and expects to continue to have, ongoing business relationships (including ordinary banking arrangements and advisory services in connection with potential acquisition transactions) with some of the lenders under both the Credit Agreement and the Prior Credit Agreement (as discussed below).

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report of Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company elected to terminate its secured Credit Agreement dated as of October 27, 2004 (as amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”) by and between the Company and the various lenders party thereto. The Prior Credit Agreement allowed the Company to have outstanding borrowings of up to $100 million at any one time, on a revolving loan basis. The Prior Credit Agreement contained covenants similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement. The Company did not incur any material termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Prior Credit Agreement. The Prior Credit Agreement and the amendments thereto were included as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
