In no event shall the Company, in connection with any Action or separate but substantially similar Actions arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnitees chosen by the Silver Lake Group, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend such Action or Actions, as the case may be.

(d) No Indemnitee shall consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any claim for which such Indemnitee is indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.22, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Except with the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnitee(s), the Company, in the defense of any such claim, shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting any Indemnitee, (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each such Indemnitee(s) of an unconditional release of such Indemnitee(s) from all liability with respect to such Action or (iii) includes any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. In any such third party claim where the Company has assumed control of the defense thereof pursuant to clause (c), the Company shall keep the applicable Indemnitee(s) informed as to the status of such claim at all stages thereof (including all settlement negotiations and offers), promptly submit to such Indemnitee(s) copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and paper received or filed in connection therewith, permit such Indemnitee(s) and their respective counsels to confer with the Company and its counsel with respect to the conduct of the defense thereof, and permit such Indemnitee(s) and their respective counsel(s) a reasonable opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission.

Section 6.03. Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries; Amendment. This Agreement (including all Exhibits and Annexes hereto), together with the agreements contemplated herein set forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Transactions, and is not intended to and shall not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder, provided, that (i) Section 4.22 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Indemnitees, and (ii) Section 6.12 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Specified Persons. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part at any time by an agreement in writing between the parties hereto (but solely in the case of any amendment or modification to Sections 4.09 (and the related definitions) agreed by the Company, only if authorized by a resolution of the disinterested directors thereof) executed in the same manner as this Agreement. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 6.04. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute any original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

Section 6.05. Public Announcements. No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be issued or made by the Purchaser or its Affiliates without the prior written approval of the Company, unless required by law (based on the advice of counsel) in which case the Company shall have the right to review and reasonably comment on such press release, announcement or communication prior to issuance, distribution or publication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be restricted from communicating with their respective investors and potential investors in connection with marketing, informational or reporting activities; provided, that the recipient of such information is subject to a customary obligation to keep such information confidential. The Company may issue or make one or more press releases or public announcements (in which case the Purchaser shall have the right to review and reasonably comment on such press release, announcement or communication prior to issuance, distribution or publication) and may file this Agreement with the SEC and may provide information about the subject matter of this Agreement in connection with equity or debt issuances, share repurchases, or marketing, informational or reporting activities.

Section 6.06. Expenses. The Company will reimburse the Purchaser 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.

Section 6.07. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company’s successors and assigns and Purchaser’s successors and assigns, and no other person; provided, that neither the Company nor the Purchaser may assign its respective rights or delegate its respective obligations under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and any assignment by the Company or the Purchaser in contravention hereof shall be null and void; provided, that (i) substantially contemporaneously with or at the Closing, the Purchaser may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any portion thereof to one or more Affiliates who execute and deliver a Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, and such Affiliate shall have all the rights and obligations of the Purchaser or any portion thereof (as set forth in such Joinder); provided, that no such assignment will relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, and (ii) any Affiliate of the Purchaser who after the Closing Date executes and delivers a Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 and is a permitted transferee of any Notes shall have all the rights and obligations of the Purchaser or any portion thereof (as set forth in such Joinder); provided, that no such assignment will relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, no Third Party to whom any of the Notes are transferred shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser may without the consent of any other party grant powers of attorney, operative only upon an event of default of the Company in respect of its obligation under Article II to issue the Notes upon payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to any lenders, administrative agent or collateral agent under any Permitted Loan or to any financial institution in connection with a Permitted Transaction, in each case to act on behalf of the Purchaser to enforce such obligation.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Third Party to whom any of the Notes are transferred shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent transferable in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 6.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, solely if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense,

counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 6.08(a), (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in Section 6.02 shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 6.08.

Section 6.09. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided that the economic and legal substance of, any of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. In the event of any such determination, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to fulfill as closely as possible the original intent and purpose hereof. To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereby to the same extent waive any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 6.10. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, whether in law or equity) to obtain (i) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 6.11. Headings. The headings of Articles and Sections contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement.

Section 6.12. Non-Recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser’s liability for any liability, loss, damage or recovery of any kind (including special, exemplary, consequential, indirect or punitive damages or damages arising from loss of profits, business opportunities or goodwill, diminution in value or any other losses or damages, whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising under or in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith shall be no greater than an amount equal to the Purchase Price and the Purchaser shall have no further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions in excess of such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the Company’s rights under Section 6.10.

(b) This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action, claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any Person that executes and delivers a Joinder). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partners (general or limited), stockholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of any party hereto, or any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partners (general or limited), stockholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of the foregoing (collectively, the “Specified Persons”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

Re: Loan Agreement to be entered into by [Name of Borrower]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement is being entered into at the request of [Name of Borrower], a [Jurisdiction of Organization][Entity Type] (the “Borrower”), in connection with the Loan Agreement dated as of [ ] between the Borrower and [Name of Lender], as lender (including any agent acting therefor, the “Lender”) (as amended and supplemented from time to time, and together with any security agreement executed in connection therewith, the “Margin Loan Agreement”, and the exercise of remedies by the Lender following an event of default under the Margin Loan Agreement, including in such exercise of remedies, foreclosure, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of the Pledged Notes (each as defined below) made in connection with a Coverage Event (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement) or as otherwise contemplated by the Margin Loan Agreement, collectively, the “Exercise of Remedies” and, together with the Margin Loan Agreement, the “Transactions”). For purposes of this letter agreement, “Closing Date” shall mean [Date]. Pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, the Lender is acquiring a first priority security interest in, inter alia, 10.500% First Lien Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Notes” and, upon delivery of such Notes to the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement) in the manner contemplated under the Margin Loan Agreement, the “Pledged Notes”) of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Issuer”) issued pursuant to an indenture, dated July 31, 2020 (the “Indenture”) between the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as collateral agent to secure the Borrower’s obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement. The Securities Intermediary under the Margin Loan Agreement has established on its books, one or more accounts (which may be the Lender or an affiliate thereof) (the “Custodian”) in each case subject to the security interest granted under the Margin Loan Agreement (each, a “Collateral Account”, and collectively, the “Collateral Accounts”). As used herein, “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open in New York City, and “DTC” means the Depository Trust Company.

In connection with the Transactions:

1.	The Issuer confirms that based solely on the information provided to the Issuer prior to its execution of this letter agreement, it has no objection to the Transactions and none of the Transactions is subject to any insider trading or other policy or rule of the Issuer.

2.	Based solely on the information provided to the Issuer prior to its execution of this letter agreement, the Issuer confirms that the loan contemplated by the Margin Loan Agreement is a Permitted Loan as defined in the Investment Agreement (as defined in the

C-1

Indenture, the “Investment Agreement”), and further agrees and acknowledges that the Borrower shall have the right to pledge or sell the Pledged Notes to the extent permitted in connection with Permitted Loans as described in the Investment Agreement.

3.	[Intentionally Omitted].

Except as required by applicable law, as determined in good faith by the Issuer, the Issuer 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 5 through 15 below, the Issuer agrees, upon Lender’s request after the occurrence of a Coverage Event under the Margin Loan Agreement or in connection with any Exercise of Remedies, to cooperate in good faith (and in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Indenture and in accordance with applicable law) with the Lender and/or the Trustee in any transfer of Pledged Notes made pursuant to any exercise by the Lender of its remedies under the Margin Loan Agreement or otherwise, including with respect to the removal of any restrictive legends, if such legend removal is permitted at the time of such Coverage Event.

In connection with any Exercise of Remedies, the Issuer shall take such actions as are within its control to cause the transfer and settlement of Pledged Notes (in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Indenture) within two Business Days of notice by the Lender. Upon consummation of such transfer and settlement to the purchaser(s) designated by the Lender, such Pledged Notes shall be (a) in book-entry DTC form if such Pledged Notes are (i) sold under a registration statement, (ii) sold under Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (iii) sold after the Resale Restriction Termination Date (as such term is interpreted hereunder as set forth below) or (iv) then in book-entry DTC form, or (b) otherwise, in the form of Physical Securities (as defined in the Indenture). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or any other agreement, for purposes of any transfer of Pledged Notes in the form of Physical Securities in connection with an Exercise of Remedies, the only documents required by the Issuer and the Trustee from the Lender or the Borrower are as follows: (i) a certificate executed by or on behalf of the holder named on the face of such Pledged Notes, in the form set forth in Attachment 1 to Exhibit A attached to the Indenture (disregarding any amendments or modifications thereto subsequent to the date hereof), but without any signature guarantee and (ii) for any transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date (as defined in the Indenture) (which, for all purposes hereunder and under the Indenture, shall be the date that is one year following the Closing Date), an opinion of [ ] or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto and addressed to the Issuer and its transfer agent (in the case of any transfer of Physical Securities bearing the Restricted Notes Legend (as defined in the Indenture) to a transferee who will receive Physical Securities bearing the Restricted Notes Legend that constitute Transfer Restricted Notes) or Exhibit 2 attached hereto (in the case of any transfer of Physical Securities bearing the Restricted Notes Legend to a transferee who will receive Physical Securities not bearing the Restricted Notes Legend or beneficial interests in a Global Security not bearing the Restricted Notes Legend).

C-2

Within two Business Days of receipt of such documents and the presentation of such Physical Securities at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, together with any required payment in connection with such transfer as set forth in Section [2.06] of the Indenture, the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to register the transfer of the number of Pledged Notes being sold to the account(s) of the purchaser(s), in each case as specified in such certificate.

6.	[Intentionally Omitted]

7.	On the Closing Date, the Issuer will deliver Pledged Notes in global form and represented as book-entry interests on the books of The Depository Trust Company bearing a 144A CUSIP with such book-entry interests credited to the Collateral Accounts.

In connection with any Exercise of Remedies whereby all or any portion of the Pledged Notes is or may be sold in a private resale transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act prior to the first anniversary of the date of issuance of the relevant Pledged Notes, the Issuer shall provide, within three 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 Notes, 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.

The Issuer agrees with respect to any purchaser of Pledged Notes in a foreclosure sale (including the Lender or its affiliates) that is not, and has not been for the immediately preceding three months, an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer, that, if such Notes are then eligible for resale under Rule 144 (and such purchaser has satisfied the holding period set forth in Rule 144(d)) and, if such sale occurs prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the Issuer meets the condition set forth in Rule 144(c)(1), it shall, upon request of such purchaser, remove any restrictive legend relating to Securities Act restrictions from such Notes and, if applicable, to cause any such notes to be exchanged for beneficial interests in global notes held by DTC or its nominee.

10.	Intentionally omitted.

11.

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

12.	The pledge by the Borrower of the Pledged Notes pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, and any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender, are not restricted in any manner by the formation documents of the Issuer or any other agreement to which the Issuer is a party, other than the Indenture.

C-3

13.	To the knowledge of the Issuer, the Pledged Notes are not subject to any pledge, interest, mortgage, lien, encumbrance or right of setoff other than any such as may be created and may exist in favor of the Lender as a result of the Transactions.

14.	The Issuer shall make all payments or deliveries on the Pledged Notes with a record date on and after the Closing Date to the Collateral Accounts (as irrevocably directed by the Collateral Agent) or otherwise in accordance with the Margin Loan Agreement.

15.	Subject to customary enforceability exceptions, the Notes are valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms.
