Commitment, Transaction Support and Fee Letter

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

You have advised Silver Lake Alpine, L.P. and Silver Lake Alpine (Offshore Master), L.P. (the “Purchasers”, “we” or “us”) that AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“you” or the “Issuer”), intends to consummate the transactions (the “Transactions”) described in the draft of the Amended Exchange Offering Memorandum dated July 10, 2020 (the “Exchange Offering Memorandum”) attached hereto as Exhibit A and The Description of New First Lien Notes attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Description of Notes”), which together with this commitment, transaction support and fee letter and the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C, are collectively referred to as the “Commitment Letter”. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Alternative Collateral Arrangement” as defined in the Exchange Offering Memorandum shall not be deemed to be part of the Transactions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Description of Notes. References to “$”, “USD” or “U.S. Dollars” in this Commitment Letter are to United States of America Dollars.

 

1.             Commitments.

 

In connection with the Transactions, we are pleased to advise you of our commitment (on a several, not joint basis) to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby commits to issue and sell to us (the date of such issuance and purchase, the “Closing Date”), in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter, the Issuer’s 10.5% First Lien Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) on terms identical to those described in the Description of Notes in the respective amounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto in an aggregate amount equal to $100.0 million (the “Commitment”), in cash in immediately available funds. The Notes shall have identical terms to the notes described in the Description of Notes other than (i) issuance price and (ii) the Notes and the notes described in the Description of Notes shall be issued under separate indentures and shall be treated as different classes of securities. The indenture pursuant to which the Notes will be issued is referred to herein as the “Indenture.”

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Purchasers reserves the right to assign, subject to the Issuer’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), up to 100% of the respective Commitment allocated to it, as set forth on Schedule 1, to investors (each, an “Additional Purchaser”) and any such assignment shall reduce the amount of the respective Commitment allocated to such Purchaser as set forth on Schedule 1; provided that any such assignment to an affiliate of the Purchaser shall not require the Issuer’s consent. Each Additional Purchaser shall execute customary joinder documentation, and upon execution of such documentation, become a Purchaser under this Commitment Letter.

 

 

 

 

In support of the Transactions, the Purchasers will consent for the Issuer to amend, supplement or amend and restate the indenture, dated as of September 14, 2018 (as amended, supplemented or amended and restated, the “Convertible Notes Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) governing the 2.95% Senior Convertible Notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Notes”), pursuant to which the Issuer shall (i) grant a first-priority lien on the Collateral (as defined in the Exchange Offering Memorandum) to secure the Convertible Notes under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Agreement and enter into any related intercreditor agreement relating to the New Second Lien Notes as described in the Exchange Offering Memorandum, (ii) extend the maturity of the Convertible Notes from September 15, 2024 to May 1, 2026 and (iii) change the $200 million cap in Section 1(b) of the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 24, 2020 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, to provide for the incurrence of all Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries contemplated by the Transactions and an additional $100 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness.

 

2.             Conditions.

 

Our Commitment hereunder to purchase the Notes is subject solely to the conditions set forth in Exhibit C hereto (the “Purchase Conditions”), and upon satisfaction (or written waiver by us in our sole discretion) of such conditions, the purchase of the Notes by us shall occur; it being understood and agreed that there are no other conditions (implied or otherwise) to our Commitment hereunder, including compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Indenture.

 

3.              Fees.

 

You agree to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Purchasers, an upfront fee equal to 10.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as of the Closing Date plus an additional 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as of the Closing Date if the Notes are not fungible with the New First Lien Notes (collectively, the “Upfront Fee”). The Upfront Fee will be payable in full, in immediately available funds, on the Closing Date, subject to the occurrence of the initial purchase of the Notes on the Closing Date. You agree that, once paid, the Upfront Fee will not be refundable under any circumstances except as otherwise agreed by us in writing. The Issuer will reimburse the Purchasers for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third-party expenses, including for one legal counsel, incurred in connection with the Transactions on the Closing Date and subject to the occurrence of, the initial purchase of the Notes on the Closing Date. Each Purchaser reserves the right to allocate, in whole or in part, to its affiliates certain fees payable to it in such manner as it and its affiliates may agree in their sole discretion. The Upfront Fee will be made in U.S. dollars and, in any case shall not be subject to counterclaim or set-off for, or be otherwise affected by, any claim or dispute relating to any other matter. In addition, all such payments will be made without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any federal, State or local taxing authority, or will be grossed up by you for such amounts to the same extent such payments would be required to be grossed up under the Notes. At the option of the Purchasers, the Upfront Fee may be structured as original issue discount.

Each of the parties hereto agrees, except to the extent otherwise required by law, (a) to treat, for all U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes, the Upfront Fee as a giving rise to a U.S. Dollar-denominated reduction in the amount paid by the Purchasers to purchase the Notes (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes); (b) to the extent applicable, when reporting the establishment and/or funding of the Notes for all U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes, to do so in a manner consistent with clause (a); and (c) to take no position inconsistent with clauses (a) and (b) in their dealings with U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities.

 

4.             Confidentiality.

 

You agree that you will not disclose, directly or indirectly, including prior to your acceptance hereof, this Commitment Letter, the Description of Notes, the other exhibits and attachments hereto or the contents of each thereof, or the activities of the Purchasers pursuant hereto or thereto, to any person or entity without prior written approval of the Purchasers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except (a) disclosures contained in the Exchange Offering Memorandum in the form attached hereto, (b) to your affiliates and your officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and advisors, in each case, on a confidential and need-to-know basis, (c) if the Purchasers consent in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such proposed disclosure or (d) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law, rule or regulation or compulsory legal process or to the extent requested or required by governmental and/or regulatory authorities, in each case based on the reasonable advice of your legal counsel (in which case you agree, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, to inform us promptly thereof prior to disclosure); provided that (i) you may disclose this Commitment Letter and its contents (including the Description of Notes and other exhibits and attachments hereto) in connection with any public or regulatory filing requirement relating to the Transactions, (ii) you may disclose the Description of Notes and the other exhibits and attachments to this Commitment Letter, and the contents thereof, to rating agencies in connection with obtaining the ratings, (iii) you may disclose the aggregate Purchasers’ discounts and expenses contained in this Commitment Letter as part of projections, pro forma information or a generic disclosure of aggregate sources and uses related to fee amounts related to the Transactions to the extent customary or in any public or regulatory filing relating to the Transactions (and then only to the extent aggregated with all other fees and expenses of the Transactions and not presented as an individual line item unless required by applicable law, rule or regulation) and (iv) you may disclose this Commitment Letter and its contents (including the Description of Notes and other exhibits and attachments hereto) to any court or administrative agency in connection with the enforcement of your rights hereunder.

Form of Issuer Agreement

 

Re:       Loan Agreement to be entered into by [PURCHASER]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter agreement is being entered into at the request of [PURCHASER], a [●] (the “Borrower”), in connection with that certain Loan Agreement dated as of [●] (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Margin Loan Agreement”), between the Borrower and [LENDER], as lender (including any agent acting therefor, the “Lender”). For purposes of this letter agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day on which commercial banks are open in each of New York City, the “Closing Date” shall mean [DATE], the “Exercise of Remedies” shall mean the exercise of remedies by the Lender or other assignments, transfers or transactions with respect to the Pledged Collateral made in connection with an [Event of Default or Coverage Event] (each as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement) contemplated by the Margin Loan Agreement, and the “Transactions” shall mean the entry of the Borrower and the Lender into the Margin Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Exercise of Remedies. Reference is made to the Indenture, dated as of [_], 2020 (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”; the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined), by and among AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as the issuer (the “Company”), the guarantors party thereto, and [_], as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent] (the “Collateral Agent”).

 

Pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, the Lender is acquiring a first priority security interest in, and may, from time to time after the date hereof, acquire additional first priority security interest in, inter alia, (i) the Notes (as defined in the Indenture) owned by the Borrower from time to time and/or (ii) all of the Borrower’s rights under the Indenture (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”) to secure the Borrower’s obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement.

 

In connection with the foregoing:

 

1.       The Company confirms that based on the information provided to the Company prior to its execution of this letter agreement, it has no objection to the Transactions.

 

2.       The Company agrees and acknowledges, that the Borrower shall have the right to pledge or sell the Pledged Collateral to the extent such assignment is permitted under the Indenture.

 

3.       Except as required by applicable law, as determined in good faith by the Company, the Company will not take any actions intended to hinder or delay any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement. Without limiting the generality of paragraphs 4 through 6 below, the Company agrees, upon Lender’s reasonable request after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Coverage Event under the Margin Loan Agreement, to consent to the assignment of the Pledged Collateral to one or more persons designated by the Lender and otherwise cooperate in good faith (and in accordance with, and subject in all cases to, the terms of the Indenture and applicable law) with the Lender, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent relating to any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender under the Margin Loan Agreement.

 

4.       In connection with any Exercise of Remedies, the Company shall deliver its signature page to the [Assignment and Assumption] (as defined in the Indenture) consenting to the transfer of the applicable Pledged Collateral to any person described in paragraph 3 above (in accordance with, and subject in all cases to, the terms of the Indenture and applicable law) within three (3) Business Days of notice by the Lender.

 

D-1

 

 

5.       In connection with any Exercise of Remedies, the Company shall provide, within three (3) Business Days following a request by the Lender, a reasonable opportunity for a customary business, legal and documentary diligence investigation to potential purchasers of such Pledged Collateral, as identified by the Lender in such notice, subject to customary non-disclosure agreements to be executed by any such purchaser; provided, that such diligence investigation is not unreasonably disruptive to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

6.       Any assignee of Lender’s rights and obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement shall enter into a joinder to this letter agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or shall deliver to the Company a counterpart, executed by the assignee, of a substantially identical agreement and the Company shall promptly accept such assignment.
