Owner desires to engage AMC to manage and operate each Theatre on its behalf subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

CDL and Owner desire to engage AMC to provide general management services on their behalf subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

MANAGEMENT SERVICES

1.1.

Provision of Management Services. Owner hereby engages AMC, on an exclusive basis, to manage each Theatre and to provide the Management Services, and CDL hereby engages AMC, on an exclusive basis, to provide the General Management Services, in accordance with this Agreement, and AMC hereby accepts such engagements. AMC is hereby vested with full authority and responsibility for the management of the Theatres and is empowered to take all such actions, do all such things and execute and enter into all such contracts, agreements, leases, licenses, instruments, commitments, undertakings and understandings (collectively, “Contracts”) in this regard, on behalf of and in the name of Owner, as AMC may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable for such purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that AMC shall have the responsibility and authority to make all decisions with respect to the day-to-day, ordinary course of business operations of each Theatre. This Section shall be subject to and limited by any provision of this Agreement reserving specific rights to Owner or limiting AMC’s authority.

1.2.

Standards for Provision of Management Services; Cooperation.

(a)

AMC shall provide the Management Services using a standard of care, with respect to each Theatre, no less than the higher of: (i) in a manner consistent with the past management and practice of performing such services to such Theatre and (ii) in a timely and competent manner using such diligence and care as may reasonably be expected of an experienced theatre operator performing services comparable to those to be performed under this Agreement, but no less than a reasonable degree of diligence and care and shall fulfill its duties hereunder employing quality, operational and other standards that are at least as high as those employed in connection with the operation of similar theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC and in connection with the general management of AMC (the “Standard of Care”). Without limitation the foregoing, AMC shall not incur or cause Owner to incur Owner Expenses (as defined below) in a manner inconsistent, in any material respect, with the fees and expenses incurred by or allocated to similarly situated theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC. AMC shall furnish and pay for all labor, materials, services, equipment and any other resources necessary to provide the Management Services and meet its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)

Owner will consult with AMC and provide such cooperation as is needed from time to time in connection with the provision of the Management Services hereunder and shall refrain from any activities that would result in unreasonable interference with the provision of such Management Services.

(c)

AMC shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that all Parties obtain and maintain any and all permits, licenses and approvals necessary for the lawful operation of each Theatre and the lawful provision of the Management Services in accordance with this Agreement. AMC shall not be obligated or required to perform those obligations under this Agreement for which it does not have the right to use or access to any permit, license, asset or right necessary for it to lawfully perform such obligation; provided that AMC shall notify Owner promptly of any such inability to so perform and shall use reasonable efforts to secure such permit, license, asset or right as promptly as practicable. As of the Effective Date, and except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the operation of the Theatres, AMC represents and warrants that, to its knowledge, it has all permits, licenses, assets and rights necessary to perform the Management Services hereunder.

(d)

AMC shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) allow each Theatre to participate in AMC’s global purchasing and other commercial contracts, including contracts pursuant to which AMC has access to, and rights to publicly perform and display film or other media content, contracts related to food and beverage, contracts related to in-Theatre advertising and other vendor-, access- or content-related contracts (collectively, the “Global Contracts”) and (ii) obtain for each Theatre the benefits with respect to, and terms for, the supply of goods and services to and by each Theatre, in each case comparable with, and no less favorable than, the terms that AMC is able to obtain for theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC. AMC will not charge any markup on goods or services procured for any Theatres. Any Owner Expenses that are allocated to the Theatres other than those directly tied to goods or services delivered to the Theatres, shall be allocated in an equitable manner consistent with the method used to allocate such expenses to other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC. All economic benefits under the Global Contracts shall be equitably allocated to each Theatre based on such Theatre’s contribution in obtaining any economic benefit.

(e)

Subject to Section 10.6, Owner acknowledges that it will have no claim to the benefits of the Global Contracts after the Term (as defined below), which may result in the removal of certain vendor provided equipment from the applicable Theatre.

(f)

AMC shall make all rent and occupancy cost payments on behalf of Theaters, and shall provide all lease administration and compliance services with respect thereto.

(g)

AMC shall recommend, in consultation with Owner, and Owner shall have the sole right to make, all real estate decisions in connection with the Theatres, including with respect to the negotiation and exercise of any lease extensions and the sale of any fee-owned Theatre.

(h)

Except as specifically authorized by Owner in writing, AMC shall not have any right to sell, convey or otherwise transfer a Theatre. Owner reserves any and all such rights. AMC shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with any written request from Owner relating to the ownership or disposition of a Theatre.

(i)

AMC acknowledges and agrees that, as between Owner and AMC, all right and title to property and equipment in and around the Theatres and Theatre properties, including projectors, screens, sound systems, seats, soda machines, food and beverage service equipment and computers and technology are, unless leased from a third party, owned by Owner, and AMC has no right or title to any assets as a result of this Agreement.

1.3.

Rights of Owner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Owner retains the right, at any time, with respect to any Theatre, to direct in writing AMC to, and at such written direction AMC shall:

(a)

set aside one or more screens/auditoriums for use from time to time by Owner for any lawful purpose whatsoever;

(b)

make any expenditure for an Owner Expense not provided for in the Approved Budget (as defined below), provided that such expenditure shall be considered an approved modification to the Approved Budget;

(c)

temporarily or permanently cease operation of any Theatre, provided that Owner shall remain liable for the Management Fee (as defined below) during any such cessation of operations, unless such cessation is required as a result of AMC’s acts or omissions; and

(d)

not pay an Owner Expense that would otherwise be due, provided that in such event Owner shall indemnify and defend AMC against any Losses (as defined below) resulting from such direction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall not have the right to direct AMC not to pay any Owner Expense which AMC is obligated to pay (e.g., wages to a Theatre-Level Employee (as defined below), or payments under AMC Contracts).

1.4.

Actions Requiring Prior Written Consent of Owner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, AMC shall not, unless specifically authorized by Owner in writing, take any of the following actions:

(a)

incur or commit to incur on behalf of Owner any capital expenditure other than in accordance with an Approved Budget; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit AMC from making emergency repairs necessary to prevent imminent damage to the assets, properties or premises of any Theatre or to remedy situations creating a risk of serious bodily injury to the customers or employees of any Theatre;

(b)

incur or commit to incur on behalf of Owner any extraordinary, non-recurring expenditure in excess of $100,000 that was not provided for in an Approved Budget for a Theatre (including any contingency with respect thereto), it being agreed that for any such expenditure in excess of $50,000 that was not provided for in an Approved Budget for a Theatre (including any contingency with respect thereto), AMC shall promptly notify Owner of such incurrence or commitment upon Owner’s request if Owner is not an Affiliate of AMC at such time;

(c)

enter into on behalf of Owner any transaction or Contract that is neither contemplated by this Agreement, an Approved Budget, nor reasonably related to the management of the Theatres;

(d)

enter into on behalf of Owner any Contract with a term that extends beyond that of this Agreement;

(e)

set prices at any Theatre at levels greater than the prices for equivalent goods and services at other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC of similar quality in the same trade area as any Theatre;

(f)

incur, guarantee, grant any security interest in respect of, or otherwise become liable for any indebtedness for borrowed money, letters of credit, notes, bonds, mortgages or similar Contracts or lease obligations that are required to be treated as capitalized leases in accordance with GAAP, except to the extent permissible under the Debt Documentation;

(g)

agree to subject the assets of Owner to any lien or encumbrance other than liens and other encumbrances arising by operation of law, except to the extent permissible under the Debt Documentation; or

(h)

enter into, amend, modify or terminate any Global Contract in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate negative impact on the Theatres in relation to the other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC.

1.5.

In-Theatre Advertising Services. Without limiting Section 1.2(d) and in furtherance thereof, the Parties agree that each Theatre shall be a participating theatre under AMC’s exhibitor services agreements with National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”) or Screenvision Exhibition, Inc. (“SVE”), as applicable, covering the exclusive right to provide on-screen advertising and other in-theatre advertising services, which, for the avoidance of doubt, constitutes a Global Contract. Owner acknowledges that the revenue received by each Theatre under the AMC-NCM/SVE agreements may be less than the revenue such Theatre could have received under an agreement with another advertising services provider or an agreement with NCM or SVE that another theatre operator could obtain.

1.6.

Compliance with Leases and Existing Contracts. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it is familiar with the real property leases associated with each Theatre (collectively, the “Leases” and each a “Lease”) and the other existing Contracts relating to the operation of the Theatres (the “Existing Contracts”). In providing the Services, AMC shall comply in all material respects with and shall not violate in any material respect the terms of each Lease or Existing Contract, and Owner shall not direct AMC to take any action that would result in any such material non-compliance with or material violation of any Lease or Existing Contract.

ARTICLE 2

STAFFING SERVICES

2.1.

Provision of Staffing Services. Owner hereby engages AMC, on an exclusive basis, to provide the Staffing Services at each Theatre in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and AMC hereby accepts such engagement.

2.2.

Standards for the Provision of Staffing Services; Cooperation.

(a)

AMC shall provide the Staffing Services in accordance with the Standard of Care. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or restrict AMC or any third party operating a Theatre on behalf or at the direction of AMC from terminating the employment or engagement of any of its employees, agency workers, consultants, contractors or other workers at any time, provided that AMC complies with its obligation to provide Staffing Services hereunder. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.3(a) and Section 5.2, AMC shall furnish and pay for all labor, materials, services, equipment and any other resources necessary to provide the Staffing Services and meet its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)

Owner will consult with AMC and provide such cooperation as is necessary from time to time in connection with the provision of the Staffing Services hereunder and shall refrain from any activities that would result in unreasonable interference with the provision of such Staffing Services.

2.3.

AMC as Employer.

(a)

The Parties hereto agree that AMC or a third party acting on behalf or at the direction of AMC, will recruit (including performing background checks in accordance with past practice and as permitted by applicable Law), employ, train and supervise any and all employees necessary to enable AMC to provide the Services hereunder. AMC or a third party acting on behalf or at the direction of AMC, will be responsible for (i) making all determinations related to employees, including determinations with respect to wages, salaries, fringe benefits and other compensation, employment duration, the assignment of duties and the negotiation and settlement of labor disputes, (ii) making all payments in connection with the compensation of employees, collecting and remitting any and all payroll taxes or other withholdings in connection therewith and filing any and all tax returns as are required with respect to such taxes and (iii) procuring and maintaining adequate workers’ compensation insurance as may be required by Law. All employment expenses outlined herein with respect to employees whose primary place of work is at a Theatre or whose primary responsibility is related to a Theatre (and not, for clarity, AMC or any other theatres operated thereby) (such employees, the “Theatre-Level Employees”) shall be Owner Expenses.

(b)

AMC will use its commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause any third party acting on its behalf or at its direction to use commercially reasonable efforts to employ persons in such numbers and of such skill levels as are comparable in number and skill level to the persons AMC or a third party acting on behalf or at the direction of AMC employs in connection with the operation of similarly situated theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC.

(c)

The Parties hereto agree that Owner shall have no liability to any of the employees hired by AMC or by any third party acting on behalf or at the direction of AMC.

ARTICLE 3

FINANCIAL INFORMATION, ACCESS AND CONSULTATION

3.1.

Maintenance of Books and Records. AMC shall keep proper financial books and records of the operations of all Theatres and the overall businesses of Owner and CDL during the Term. Such books and records shall be prepared and maintained in accordance with GAAP and good business practices and shall be sufficiently detailed to enable the statements of operations, balance sheets and statements of cash flows to be prepared from time to time for all Theatres, Owner and CDL.

3.2.

Quarterly and Monthly Financial Reporting. AMC shall, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter ending after the Effective Date, furnish to Owner financial reports for CDL and Owner on a consolidated basis, a statement of operations, balance sheet and a statement of cash flows for the Theatres on a consolidated basis and such other materials as are required under the Debt Documentation. Upon Owner’s reasonable request, AMC shall generate and make available to Owner reports reflecting customary operating metrics of each Theatre on a monthly basis, including revenues (including food and beverage revenues per patron), operating costs, attendance of patrons at the Theatres, average ticket price and screen count, on each case, in a manner consistent with the past management practice of such Theatre. Additionally, upon written request, AMC shall provide to Owner any other financial statements, operating metrics and any other information reasonably requested by Owner in form and substance satisfactory to Owner and consistent with such statements, metrics and other information provided with respect to other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC on a quarterly (within forty five (45) days after the end of the quarter) or annual (within ninety (90) days after the end of the year) basis, as applicable.

3.3.

Inspection Rights. Subject to any requirements of applicable Law and the terms and conditions of any applicable Contract, Owner shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice, to inspect and obtain copies of all books, records and other documents relating to any Theatre under the control of AMC, including the Global Contracts, financial operating costs, financial accounting, information related to customers and suppliers, and information on all other systems and assets, including any booking platforms and software, used in connection with or related to the Theatres and the provision of services by AMC hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice, AMC shall process such access and/or information request promptly; provided, that the frequency, manner and duration of such inspections shall be without undue hindrance to the proper conduct of the operations of the applicable Theatre or the activities of AMC, its employees, agents and independent contractors and any third party acting on behalf or at the direction of AMC. Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with any such inspections shall be the sole cost and expense of the Owner, unless such inspection is requested as a result of a breach of this Agreement by AMC. This Section ‎3.3 shall survive for a period of one (1) year following the termination of this Agreement.

3.4.

Year-End Financials. In addition to any applicable reports provided in accordance with Section 3.2, within ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year ending after the Effective Date, annual statements of operations, balance sheets and statements of cash flows of CDL and Owner on a consolidated basis shall be prepared by AMC and delivered to Owner.

3.5.

Notice of Claims and Proceedings. AMC shall promptly notify Owner upon becoming aware of any material claims against or commencement of any Proceedings involving any Theatre.

3.6.

Operating Reports; Meetings. Upon Owner’s reasonable request, AMC shall provide Owner reports with respect to the operations of any Theatre to the extent the requested report is readily available to AMC and in such format as AMC normally produces. In addition, AMC and Owner agree that they will make available appropriate representatives to participate in regular management meetings to be held at such times during regular business hours and at such locations (in the case of any in-person meetings) as the Parties from time to time agree. At such meetings, the Parties will discuss the financial and operational performance of any applicable Theatre, issues relating to the provision of the Services and general industry concerns or developments. In addition, the Parties agree to make appropriate representatives reasonably available between such regular meetings to discuss issues that arise from time to time in connection with the provision of the Services; provided, however, that AMC shall not be required to cause its corporate office personnel to devote an inordinate amount of time to such discussions and consultations (as compared with the amount of time ordinarily devoted to the management and operation of the other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC).

ARTICLE 4

BUDGETS

4.1.

Draft Annual Budgets. With respect to each Fiscal Year during the Term, and in a manner consistent with past practice, AMC shall prepare and provide to Owner, no later than the 1st day of the immediately preceding December, a proposed budget for such Fiscal Year relating to the Theatres. To the extent such information is made available or provided to other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC, such budget shall include operating, capital and marketing budgets, detailed buildups of assumptions and detailed management commentary.

4.2.

Approved Annual Budgets. Prior to the commencement of the Fiscal Year, Owner shall consider and comment upon the proposed budget prepared by AMC and AMC shall revise such proposed budget as mutually agreed upon with Owner (such budget, as so revised, an “Approved Budget”). If Owner fails to provide any comments on or requested changes to the proposed budget before the commencement of the Fiscal Year, the proposed budget shall automatically become the Approved Budget. In the event the Parties are unable to produce an Approved Budget prior to the commencement of the Fiscal Year, AMC shall operate under the proposed budget until such time as there is an Approved Budget. Owner approval shall not be required for adjustments to the Approved Budget where the additional costs or expenses are required by a Law that became effective after such Approved Budget was approved; provided, that AMC shall provide prompt written notice to Owner of any such Law or such additional costs or expenses.

4.3.

Operation in Accordance with Approved Budgets. The Parties acknowledge and agree that theatre operating results are subject to significant variance within a Fiscal Year and that no Approved Budget can be expected to accurately predict all such variances. Consequently, the Parties understand that actual interim operating results may vary from the Approved Budget. If AMC determines that any such interim variances are reflective of expected operating results for the remainder of the Fiscal Year and that such variances will result in a category or line item exceeding (in the case of expense) or falling below (in the case of revenue) that provided in the Approved Budget, including any contingency, for the entire Fiscal Year by more than twenty percent (20%), then AMC shall notify Owner and request that the Approved Budget for the Fiscal Year be revised in accordance with preceding section. Owner shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to approve any such revisions to the Approved Budget.

ARTICLE 5

PAYMENT OF MANAGEMENT FEE; OPERATING EXPENSES

5.1.

Management Fee.

(a)

In consideration of the performance by AMC of the Management Services and the Staffing Services provided hereunder, (i) for the first Fiscal Year of the Term, the Owner shall pay to AMC a management fee for each Theatre in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Gross Revenues of such Theatre for such Fiscal Year, (ii) for the second Fiscal Year of the Term, Owner shall pay to AMC a management fee for each Theatre in an amount equal to four and three quarters percent (4.75%) of Gross Revenues of such Theatre for such Fiscal Year, (iii) for the third Fiscal Year of the Term, Owner shall pay to AMC a management fee for each Theatre in an amount equal to four and one half perfect (4.5%) of Gross Revenues of such Theatre for such Fiscal Year, (iv) for the fourth Fiscal Year of the Term, Owner shall pay to AMC a management fee for each Theatre in an amount equal to four and one quarter percent (4.25%) of Gross Revenues of such Theatre for such Fiscal Year, and (v) for each Fiscal Year of the Term thereafter, Owner shall pay to AMC a management fee for each Theatre in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of Gross Revenues of such Theatre for such Fiscal Year (the percentage of Gross Revenues for each Fiscal Year, the “MF Percentage” and the amount to be paid by Owner to AMC each Fiscal Year, the “Management Fee”). The Management Fee shall be calculated based on the MF Percentage and paid quarterly. The Management Fee is an Owner Expense.

(b)

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Management Fee shall be AMC’s sole compensation for any expense or overhead incurred by AMC, and AMC shall bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred by AMC in providing the Services, including the salaries, benefits, bonuses and other compensation of corporate personnel involved in rendering Services and all corporate office or overhead expenses (together with all other corporate office and overhead expenses of AMC, the “AMC Overhead Costs”).

(c)

If at any time during the Term any financial statements of any Theatre are audited by an independent accounting firm selected by Owner, the resulting audited financial statements shall be promptly delivered to AMC. If any such audited financial statements reveal that the Management Fee paid with respect to the audited period was not properly calculated, appropriate adjustment shall be made as between the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that AMC disputes any adjustment to the Management Fee that would otherwise be made based on any such audit, such dispute shall be settled by mutual agreement of the Parties or in accordance with the arbitration provisions of this Agreement prior to any such adjustment being made. For the avoidance of doubt, no such audit is required hereunder, and any such audit will be conducted at the sole expense of Owner, unless the audit reveals an overcharge of five percent (5%) or more of the Management Fee that should have been payable by Owner.

5.2.

Owner Expenses. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, Owner shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business in the operation of each Theatre and directly attributable to such Theatre, including: (a) incurred under the Global Contracts and allocated to the Theatres in accordance with Section 1.2(d); (b) that are employment expenses with respect to Theatre-Level Employees; (c) that are service or engagement fees payable to service providers with respect to services performed exclusively at or for the benefit of a Theatre (“Theatre-Level Services”); (d) incurred to procure supplies used at a Theatre or permits and licenses used to operate a Theatre (“Theatre-Level Supplies”); (e) arising from real property transferred to Owner pursuant to the ATA, including property taxes or rental with respect to such real property (“Real Property Expenses”); and (f) expenses expressly identified in this Agreement as an Owner Expense; in each case of the foregoing, whether such costs or expenses are incurred directly by Owner or incurred by AMC in connection with the provision of the Services hereunder, including those expenses described on Schedule IV hereto (collectively the “Owner Expenses”); provided, that, the Owner Expenses shall not include any AMC Overhead Costs, and amounts payable or incurred under any Contracts related to the Reserved Operations shall be excluded from Owner Expenses (together with AMC Overhead Costs, the “Excluded Amounts”). Owner Expenses shall not be subject to any mark up by AMC. Upon Owner’s request and to the extent available or retrievable, AMC will promptly provide Owner with the original third-party invoice for a specific Owner Expense.

5.3.

Owner Funds; Payment of Owner Expenses; Distributions.

(a)

All monies advanced by Owner to fund Owner Expenses and all cash from operations of each Theatre shall be held by AMC for the benefit of Owner (the “Owner Funds”). AMC shall not be required to maintain separate bank accounts to segregate funds collected from the operation of the Theatres or each Theatre and shall be permitted to comingle such funds in its general operating accounts. AMC shall have use of the Owner Funds solely for purposes of paying Owner Expenses or being reimbursed for any Owner Expenses previously paid by AMC.

(b)

Upon the Effective Date, Owner shall deposit with AMC funds in the amount of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) per Theatre to fund operations of each Theatre (the “Minimum Reserve”). Owner shall maintain the Minimum Reserve throughout the Term.

(c)

All amounts from time to time payable by Owner or CDL in respect of any indebtedness or other long-term or non-operating liabilities shall be paid to third parties when due directly by Owner out of revenues generated by Owner, such payments to be administered by AMC as part of the Services and payable by AMC from funds collected by it on behalf of Owners and CDL and not yet remitted to Owner in accordance with Section 5.3(e) below to the extent not caused by AMC to be paid from an account in Owner’s name. AMC shall not cause any equity distributions or other payments by CDL or Owner to AMC not contemplated by this Agreement to the extent such distributions would (a) violate any term of the Debt Documentation, or (b) result in the inability of Owner or CDL to meet their obligations as contemplated by this paragraph.

(d)

On a quarterly basis, AMC shall prepare a report setting forth in reasonable detail all Owner Expenses. In the event that Owner reasonably and in good faith questions or disputes any expense(s) on such report, Owner shall provide written notice thereof to AMC within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such report, and the Parties shall thereafter use good faith commercially reasonable efforts to resolve to their mutual satisfaction any such questions and disputes. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve any such questions or disputes, the unresolved matters will be submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.

(e)

All Available Cash shall be paid to Owner into an account in Owner’s name satisfying the requirements of the Debt Documentation, subject to any distribution by Owner and CDL permissible under the Debt Documentation, no later than (i) on a good faith, estimated basis, twenty (20) days following the end of each calendar month, and (ii) following reconciliation of the applicable monthly payments, the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the end of each Fiscal Quarter. If the Available Cash is negative as of the end of a Fiscal Quarter, Owner shall deposit such additional funds with AMC to make the Available Cash equal to zero ($0) within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of notice of the amount due. Cash in an amount equal to the retention by AMC in accordance with clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of Available Cash shall be held by AMC as a security deposit for amounts otherwise payable by Owner and CDL hereunder, subject to mutual setoff rights in the event of breach of, or following termination of, this Agreement.

5.4.

Payments Not Subject to Set-off. All payments made or to be made under this Agreement shall be made in full, without any deduction, withholding, set-off or counterclaim on account of any taxes or otherwise, except as expressly provided or permitted hereunder (including pursuant to Section 5.3(e) above), provided, remittances of Available Cash owing to the Owner and Owner Expenses owing to AMC may be mutually set off from time to time in the respective discretion of the Parties.

ARTICLE 6
AMC CUSTOMER PROGRAMS

6.1.

Participation. During the Term, each Theatre will be marketed and promoted as part of the AMC circuit without distinction from any other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC. Each Theatre shall participate in all AMC customer loyalty and similar programs on an equivalent basis with any other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC. Each Theatre will be allocated membership revenue received from participants in such programs and allocated expenses related to the administration, marketing or accrual of benefits under such programs in the same manner and on an equivalent basis with other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC. Redemptions by customers at any Theatre of loyalty program rewards will be treated as customer discounts.

6.2.

Subscription Programs. During the Term, each Theatre shall participate in AMC subscription programs on an equivalent basis with other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC. Subscription revenue, ticket redemptions, and film rent payable under such subscription programs shall be accounted for at and allocated to the Theatres in the same manner and on an equivalent basis with other theatres owned and/or operated by or on behalf of AMC.

6.3.

Bulk Tickets; Gift Cards. During the Term, each Theatre shall honor all redeemable tickets and gift cards issued by AMC for use at AMC-branded theatres. Redemptions at any Theatre shall be treated as cash tender and AMC shall credit the applicable Theatre with the value of the redeemable ticket or the amount of funds utilized from the gift card, as applicable. Owner shall not be entitled to any allocation of breakage revenue from AMC’s redeemable ticket and gift card programs.

ARTICLE 7

EXTRAORDINARY SERVICES

7.1.

Extraordinary Services. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the Management Services and Staffing Services to be provided by AMC hereunder relate solely to the provision of such Services as part of the day-to-day running of each Theatre in the ordinary course. If at any time Owner requests that any other services not falling within the definition of the Management Services or Staffing Services be provided in connection with the operation of any Theatre, Owner shall provide written notice of such request to AMC and AMC shall have the option, but not the obligation, to provide such additional services (hereinafter referred to as “Extraordinary Services”).

7.2.

Extraordinary Service Fees. To the extent that AMC and Owner agree that Extraordinary Services are to be provided hereunder, additional fees shall be payable by Owner to AMC for such services as mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “Extraordinary Service Fees”). AMC shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, provide any Extraordinary Services unless and until the Parties execute a written agreement (an “Extraordinary Services Agreement”) outlining the scope of such Extraordinary Services and the Extraordinary Service Fees payable to AMC in connection therewith. An Extraordinary Services Agreement shall be attached to this Agreement and become a part hereof. All agreed upon fees and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of AMC incurred in connection with the provision of Extraordinary Services shall be reimbursed (subject to appropriate documentation) as an Owner Expense in accordance with the terms of the Extraordinary Services Agreement.

7.3.

General Management Services Excluded. This Article 7 shall not apply to General Management Services and the general corporate management of CDL and Owner, it being agreed that the fees contemplated hereunder shall be in consideration of any and all such services, whether specifically enumerated herein or otherwise.

ARTICLE 8

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1.

Theatre Branding. Each Theatre shall be operated, marketed and branded as an “AMC” theatre at all times during the Term of this Agreement. AMC acknowledges that Owner is the exclusive owner of all AMC tradenames, trademarks (whether registered or not), and trade dress, and all other intellectual property used in or necessary for the operation of AMC theatres (collectively, the “Owner Intellectual Property”). All right, title and interest in any intellectual property rights created or arising in connection with the provision of the Management Services or any other services under this Agreement shall vest automatically in Owner. To the extent any right, title or interest in or to any Owner Intellectual Property or such other intellectual property rights vests, by operation of applicable Law or otherwise, in AMC or any of its other Affiliates, AMC hereby irrevocably assigns (and shall cause such Affiliate to irrevocably assign) to Owner all right, title and interest therein and thereto, and shall take such further actions as reasonably requested by Owner to effect, record and perfect such assignment and Owner’s interest in such intellectual property rights.

8.2.

(a)

any claim or Proceeding made, initiated or threatened by any Person other than a Party (a “Third Party Claim”) that relates to the provision of the Services under this Agreement exclusively for the benefit of Owner or CDL (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any claim or Proceeding relating to the entry into this Agreement and the Debt Documentation), the management and operation of any Theatre, or the consequences of AMC’s compliance with any directions provided by Owner relating to the operation of the Theatres, other than to the extent such Losses are caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or material violation of Law of AMC;

ARTICLE 10

TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1.

Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of ten (10) years (the “Initial Term”). After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods on the anniversary of the Effective Date unless a Party provides to the other Parties written notice of non-renewal within ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current term (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”).

10.2.

Commencement and Termination of Services.

(a)

The provision of the Management Services and Staffing Services under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date.

(b)

At any time after the Discharge of Owner Indebtedness, either Party may terminate this Agreement on a Theatre-by-Theatre basis, without cause for any or no reason upon ninety (90) days written notice to the other Party.

(c)

As to any specific Theatre, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect upon Owner’s decision to close the Theatre or Owner’s sale or other disposition of the Theatre.

10.3.

Termination for Cause. Each Party shall have the right at any time by giving notice in writing to the other Party to terminate this Agreement effective immediately, if, and only if the other Party materially breaches any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of written notice of such breach stating with reasonable particularity the provisions of this Agreement which are alleged to have been breached and the breaching Party is not making a good faith attempt to cure such breach or failure in accordance with a mutually agreed upon plan to cure such breach (and, in the case of a breach by Owner or CDL, such breach is not the result of a failure by AMC to provide services as contemplated hereby); provided, that if any of the Notes or Term Loans are then outstanding and AMC wishes to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.3, AMC shall give notice to the applicable trustee or trustees in respect of the outstanding Notes and the Term Loans not fewer than ninety (90) days prior to such termination taking effect and an opportunity during such ninety (90)-day period for the Holders to cure, or cause to be cured, any breach giving rise to a right of termination. AMC shall reasonably cooperate with any Holders in connection with a proposed cure and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any applicable breach is in fact cured during such ninety (90)-day period, then termination on account of the applicable breach shall not be permitted.

10.4.

Termination Upon Insolvency. This Agreement may be terminated by Owner immediately and without notice in the event AMC: (a) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due in the ordinary course of business in accordance with their terms; (b) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (c) voluntarily commences any proceeding or files any petition seeking liquidation, court protection, reorganization or other relief under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar Law; or (d) is the subject of an involuntary proceeding or petition that is filed seeking liquidation, court protection, reorganization or other relief under any applicable bankruptcy insolvency, receivership or similar Law, which is undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing is entered (each, a “Insolvency Event”). In the event that AMC becomes aware of any impending or threatened Insolvency Event, AMC shall promptly notify Owner and upon delivery of such notice, (i) the words “on an exclusive basis” shall be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement and no such exclusivity restriction shall be deemed to apply and (ii) at Owner’s request, for a period of up to twelve (12) months, AMC shall use reasonable best efforts to assist Owner in procuring the benefits it receives under this Agreement (including with respect to its access to each of the Global Contracts) through alternative arrangements. The foregoing sentence shall survive following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.4.

10.5.

Effects of Termination or Expiration. The termination or expiration of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the rights and duties of the Parties accrued prior to termination or expiration. The covenants, agreements, terms and conditions of this Agreement which expressly or impliedly have effect after termination or expiration shall continue to be enforceable notwithstanding termination or expiration, including any indemnification obligations herein. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason or expires, AMC shall within ninety (90) days following termination or expiration prepare final financial statements for the Theatres on a consolidated basis as of the termination or expiration date (the “Final Statements”). If the Final Statements provide for additional sums due to AMC, Owner shall pay such undisputed amounts within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of the Final Statements. If the Final Statements do not provide for additional sums due to AMC, AMC shall distribute any remaining Owner Funds to Owner within fifteen (15) Business Days of delivering the Final Statements. Any disputes arising out of the Final Statements or the Parties obligations upon termination or expiration shall be subject to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement. Upon termination or after expiration, AMC shall deliver to Owner all digital and print copies of books, records, Contracts and all other documents, certificates, permits, instruments, customer lists, loyalty program information, operating metrics, labor scheduling information, employee lists and any and all other information reasonably requested by Owner and used in the ordinary operations of the Theatres. Upon Owner’s written request, AMC shall provide to Owner with lists of, and contact information for, all employees and contractors, including Theatre managers, spending a majority of their time working in or on the Theatres, as sufficient to enable Owner to make offers of employment to such employees and contractors, and AMC shall waive any restriction that may prevent such employees or contractors from being hired by Owner. The Parties shall reasonably and in good faith cooperate with each other to affect an orderly transition of the operations of the Theatres including as set forth in Section 10.6.

10.6.

Transition Services. If this Agreement terminates with respect to a Theatre, in whole or in part, for any reason (including termination by AMC), Owner may require AMC, for a period of up to twelve (12) months (as determined by Owner), to: (a) continue to perform the terminated or expired Management Services and/or Staffing Services (or portion(s) thereof), including access to and participation in the Global Contracts; (b) cooperate with Owner or another supplier designated by Owner to facilitate the transfer of the Management Services and/or Staffing Services (or portion(s) thereof) to Owner or such other supplier, including providing to Owner access to all books, records and contracts, and technology used as part of the Management Services and/or Staffing Services, in each case, to the extent available and as permitted by applicable Law or the terms and conditions of the applicable Contract; and (c) perform any other services reasonably requested by Owner to transfer the provision of the terminated or expired Management Services and/or Staffing Services (or portion(s) thereof) to Owner or another supplier (the services in clauses (a) through (c), the “Transition Services”). The Transition Services shall be considered Management Services and/or Staffing Services (as applicable) and shall be performed in accordance with this Agreement. During the performance of the Transition Services, all provisions of this Agreement shall survive with respect to the Transition Services (including Owner’s obligation to pay to AMC any amounts due hereunder for the Transition Services, including the Management Fee), and the Transition Services shall be of the same quality, level of performance and scope as provided prior to termination, but not less than as required under this Agreement. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, at Owner’s request, for a period of up to twelve (12) months (as determined by Owner), AMC shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) assist Owner in procuring the benefits it receives under this Agreement (including with respect to its access to each of the Global Contracts) through alternative arrangements, and (ii) assign to Owner any Contracts exclusively related to the Theatres.
