· The Company issued $2,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% First Lien Notes due 2031 (the
“Notes”) in a private offering pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of the Closing Date, by and
among the Company, as issuer, the guarantors party thereto from time to time and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee and as collateral
agent.
· The Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “New 1L Term Loan Credit
Agreement” and the term loan facility thereunder, the “New 1L Term Loan Facility”), by and among the Company, as borrower,
the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent,
pursuant to which the Company borrowed $850.0 million of new first lien term loans (the “New 1L Term Loans”).
· The Company entered into a second lien credit agreement (the “New 2L Term Loan Credit Agreement”
and the term loan facility thereunder, the “New 2L Term Loan Facility” and together with the New 1L Term Loan Facility, the
“New Term Loan Facilities”), by and among the Company, as borrower, Deutsche Bank Special Situations Group as the lender,
the other lenders from time to time party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral
agent, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $1,120.0 million of new second lien term loans (the “New 2L Term Loans” and
together with the New 1L Term Loans, the “New Term Loans”).
New First Lien Notes Indenture
Interest, Guarantees and Security
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 8.875%
per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2027. The Notes will
mature on October 15, 2031, unless redeemed in full prior to such maturity date, pursuant to the terms contained in the Indenture.
The Company’s obligations under the Notes
are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries that guarantee the New Term Loan Facilities.
The Notes are secured on a first-priority basis,
on a pari passu basis with the New 1L Term Loan Facility, by substantially all tangible and intangible assets owned by the Company and
the guarantors, including equity interests in subsidiaries, subject to agreed security principles, the applicable intercreditor agreements,
thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens. The Notes (i) rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness
of the Company and the guarantors, including under the New Term Loan Facilities and the 6.00%/8.00% Cash/PIK Toggle Senior Secured Exchangeable
Notes due 2030 issued by Muvico, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Muvico”) (the “Muvico 2L Notes”);
(ii) rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors; (iii) are secured on a
first-priority basis, equally and ratably with the New 1L Term Loan Facility (with respect to all collateral) and the Muvico 2L Notes
(with respect to the AMC Collateral (as defined below)); (iv) are effectively senior to any junior-lien indebtedness of the Company and
the guarantors, including under the New 2L Term Loan Facility (with respect to all collateral), and the Muvico 2L Notes (with respect
to the Centertainment Collateral (as defined below)), in each case to the extent of the value of the collateral; (v) rank effectively
senior to any existing and future unsecured indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors, to the extent of the value of the collateral;
(vi) are structurally subordinated to existing and future indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors that is secured by assets or
properties not constituting collateral securing the Notes, to the extent of the value of the collateral; and (vii) are structurally subordinated
to the indebtedness of any of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.

Covenants and Events of Default
The Indenture contains covenants that limit the
ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

(iv) make payments on junior financing; (v) make investments; (vi) sell or transfer certain assets; (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants

any of them occur, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then
outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold in the
United States absent registration or an exemption from the applicable registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state

Act term used in this Indenture has the following meaning:
“obligor”
on the Notes and the Guarantees means the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, and any successor obligor upon the Notes and
the Guarantees, respectively.
All other terms used in this
Indenture that are defined by the Trust Indenture Act, defined by Trust Indenture Act reference to another statute or defined by SEC
rule under the Trust Indenture Act have the meanings so assigned to them. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture,
no obligation or requirement under the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable to the Company or any Guarantor.
Section 1.04 Rules of
Construction.
Unless the context otherwise
requires:
(a) a
term has the meaning assigned to it;
(b) an
accounting term not otherwise defined has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP;
(c) “or”
is not exclusive;
(d) “including”
means including without limitation;
(e) words
in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular;
(f) unsecured
Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinate or junior to secured Indebtedness merely by virtue of its nature as unsecured Indebtedness;
and
(g) the
principal amount of any non-interest bearing or other discount security at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would
be shown on a balance sheet of the Company dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Section 1.05 Limited
Condition Transactions.
In connection with any action
being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:
(i) determining
compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires the calculation of any financial ratio;
50
(ii) determining
whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or any subset of Defaults or Events of Default); or
(iii) testing
availability under baskets set forth in this Indenture (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated
Total Assets); in each case, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any
Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), with such option to be exercised on or prior to the date of execution
of the definitive agreements related to such Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted
hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT
Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered
into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred
at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant
LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
For the avoidance of doubt,
if the Company has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT
Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA
of the Company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction
or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; however, if any ratios improve
or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Company has made an LCT
Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of the incurrence ratios subject to
the LCT Election on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition
Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or
expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma
basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness
or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
Section 1.06 Certain
Compliance Determinations.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining compliance with any test or utilization of any basket contained in this
Indenture, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Total Assets, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio, the First Lien
Leverage Ratio and the Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis to give effect to all Specified Transactions that
have been made during the applicable period of measurement or subsequent to such period and prior to or simultaneously with the event
for which the calculation is made and to the extent the proceeds of any new Indebtedness are to be used to repay other Indebtedness (including
by repurchase, redemption, retirement, extinguishment, defeasance, discharge or pursuant to escrow or similar arrangements) no later
than 60 days following the incurrence of such new Indebtedness, the Company shall be permitted to give Pro Forma Effect to such repayment
of Indebtedness.
51
(b) For
purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio
or test (including, without limitation, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test, any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage
Ratio test and/or any Total Leverage Ratio test, the amount of Consolidated EBITDA and/or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial
ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to Section 1.05), such change is made, such transaction
is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as
a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction
is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a
provision in any covenant (including any constituent definition thereof) of this Indenture that does not require compliance with a financial
ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test, any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage
Ratio test and/or any Total Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently
with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Indenture that requires compliance
with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test, any First Lien Leverage Ratio test,
any Secured Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”),
it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable
to the Incurrence-Based Amounts.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of any determination under this Indenture expressly requiring the use of a current exchange
rate, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than dollars shall be translated
into dollars at the Spot Rate (rounded to the nearest currency unit, with 0.5 or more of a currency unit being rounded upward); provided,
however, that for purposes of determining compliance with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Investment, disposition
or Restricted Payment in a currency other than dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result
of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred or disposition or Restricted Payment
made; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1.06 shall otherwise apply to such provisions,
including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred or disposition or Restricted Payment made
at any time under such provisions. For purposes of any determination of Consolidated Total Debt, amounts in currencies other than dollars
shall be translated into dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the most recently delivered financial statements pursuant
to Section 4.12 (or, prior to the first such delivery, the most recent internally available financial statements).

of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more registrars for so long as the Notes are held in registered
form, and one or more co-registrars. The initial Paying Agent will be GLAS Trust Company LLC, in New York.
54
The initial Registrar and
transfer agent for the Notes will be GLAS Trust Company LLC in New York.
The Registrars and the transfer
agents will maintain a register reflecting ownership of Notes in the form of Definitive Notes (as defined in Exhibit A) outstanding
from time to time, if any, and will make payments on and facilitate transfers of Definitive Notes on behalf of the Company. Each transfer
agent shall perform the functions of a transfer agent.
The Company may change any
Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent for the Notes without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries
may act as Paying Agent or Registrar in respect of the Notes.
The Company shall enter into
an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or transfer agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall
implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of
any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or transfer agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall
be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying
Agent, Registrar or transfer agent.
Section 2.05 Paying
Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal and interest on any Note, the Company shall deposit with
the Paying Agent for such Note a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying
Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee
all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default
by the Company or any Guarantor in making any such payment. If the Company or a domestic wholly-owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent,
it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this
Section, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a domestic wholly-owned Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money
delivered to the Trustee.
Section 2.06 Holder
Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the
names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company
on its own behalf and on the behalf of each of the Guarantors shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before
each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as
the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders and the Company and the Guarantors shall otherwise comply with
TIA Section 312(a).
55
Section 2.07 Replacement
Notes. If a mutilated security is surrendered to a Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that such Note has been lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405
of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the
Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect
the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent for such Note, the Registrar for such Note and any co-registrar from any loss which any of
them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every
replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company.
Section 2.08 Outstanding
Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered
to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant
to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced
Note is held by a protected purchaser.
If a Paying Agent segregates
and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and
interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and such
Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and
after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
Section 2.09 Temporary
Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes.
Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate
for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes and deliver
them in exchange for temporary Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive
Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and such exchange shall
be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Notes representing an equal principal
amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as a Holder of definitive Notes.
Section 2.10 Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. Any Registrar and any Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee
any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel (subject to
the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation
and deliver cancelled Notes to the Company upon a written direction of the Company. Except as expressly permitted herein, the Company
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
56
If the Company or any Guarantor
acquires any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such
Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.10. The Company may not
issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with
a registration of transfer or exchange of such Notes.
At such time as all beneficial
interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global
Note shall be returned by the Securities Custodian with respect to such Global Note to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled
by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for definitive Notes,
transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented
by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Securities
Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect such reduction.
Section 2.11 Defaulted
Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest
on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee
in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice)
of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with
the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall
fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such defaulted interest, which date shall be not
more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by
the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date, and in
the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the Special Record
Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 13.02, not less than 10 days prior
to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest
Payment Date therefor having been so given, such defaulted interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons
in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date
and shall no longer be payable.
The Company may make payment
of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes
may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
57
Subject to the foregoing
provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu
of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.
Section 2.12 CUSIP
Numbers or ISINs. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, “ISINs” or other similar
numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, “ISINs” or other similar
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee
shall have any responsibility for any defect in the “CUSIP” number, “ISIN” or other similar number that appears
on any Note, check, advice of payment or redemption notice, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness
of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP number, ISIN or other similar
numbers.
Section 2.13 Computation
of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Section 2.14 Additional
Amounts.
All
payments made by or on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor or any successor in interest to any of the foregoing (each, a “Payor,”
and not including any Trustee or Paying Agent) on or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes will be made free and clear
of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other similar
governmental charge (collectively, “Taxes”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If any deduction
or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of:
(i) any jurisdiction from or through which
payment under, or with respect to, the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes is made by or
on behalf of such Payor (including the jurisdiction of the Paying Agent), or any political
subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax; or
(ii) any other jurisdiction in which a Payor
is incorporated, organized, engaged in business for tax purposes or otherwise considered
to be a resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority
thereof or therein having the power to tax (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction”),
58
will at any time be required from any payments
made by or on behalf of the Payor under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes, including payments of principal,
redemption price, interest or premium, if any, the Payor will pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (the “Additional
Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each Holder or beneficial
owner after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional Amounts), will not be less
than the amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments on the Notes or the Guarantees of the Notes in the absence
of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no such Additional Amounts will be payable for or on account
of:
(i) any United States federal withholding
Taxes imposed, withheld or deducted on any payment on or in respect of the Notes or any Guarantee
of the Notes pursuant to applicable law;
(ii) any Taxes that would not have been
so imposed or withheld but for the existence of any present or former connection between
the relevant Holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner,
member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the relevant Holder or beneficial owner,
if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, limited liability
company or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including being a citizen or
resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment
in, or being physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) but excluding, in each
case, any connection arising solely from the acquisition, ownership or holding of the Notes
or any Guarantee of the Notes or the enforcement or receipt of any payment in respect thereof;
(iii) any Taxes that would not have been
so imposed or levied if the Holder or beneficial owner of the Note had complied with a reasonable
request in writing of the Payor (such request being made at a time that would enable such
Holder or beneficial owner acting reasonably to comply with that request) to make a declaration
of nonresidence or any other claim or filing or satisfy any certification, identification,
information or reporting requirement for exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, withholding
to which it is entitled (provided that such declaration of nonresidence or other claim,
filing or requirement is required by the applicable law, treaty, regulation or official administrative
practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction
in the rate of deduction or withholding of, any such Taxes);
(iv) any Taxes that are payable otherwise
than by withholding from a payment on or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee of the
Notes;
(v) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales,
transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;
(vi) any U.S. federal backup withholding
tax;
(vii) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld
solely by reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation
that becomes effective after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs
later;
(viii) any Taxes imposed in connection with
a Note presented for payment (where presentation is required for payment) by or on behalf
of a Holder or beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such Tax by presenting
the relevant Note to, or otherwise accepting payment from, another paying agent;
59
(ix) any Taxes payable under Sections 1471
through 1474 of the Code, as of September 23, 2026 (or any amended or successor version
that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current
or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant
thereto, and any intergovernmental agreements implementing the foregoing (including any legislation
or other official guidance relating to such intergovernmental agreements); or
(x) any combination of the items (i) through
(ix) above.
Such Additional Amounts will
also not be payable if the payment could have been made without such deduction or withholding if the beneficiary of the payment had presented
the Note for payment (where presentation is required) within 30 days after the relevant payment was due and first made available for
payment to the Holder or beneficial owner (provided that notice of such payment is given to the Holder or beneficial owner), except
to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner or other such person would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the
Note for payment on any date during such 30-day period.
The Payor will (i) make
or cause to be made any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit or cause to be remitted the full amount deducted or withheld
to the relevant taxing authority of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor will use reasonable
efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each relevant taxing
authority of each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and will provide such certified copies to the Trustee and the Holders
or beneficial owners. If, notwithstanding the efforts of such Payor to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, such Payor
will provide the Trustee and the Holders or beneficial owners with other reasonable evidence.
If any Payor will be obligated
to pay Additional Amounts under or with respect to any payment made on the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes, at least 30 days prior
to the date of such payment, the Payor will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts
will be payable and the amount so payable and such other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to make the payment of Additional
Amounts to Holders or beneficial owners on the relevant payment date (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than
45 days prior to the relevant payment date, in which case the Payor shall deliver such Officer’s Certificate and such other information
as promptly as practicable after the date that is 30 days prior to the payment date). The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on
such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof as to the amount of such payments and that such payments are necessary.
Wherever in the Indenture,
the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes there is mention of, in any context:
(i) the payment of principal;
(ii) redemption prices or purchase prices in
connection with a redemption or purchase of Notes;
60
(iii) interest; or
(iv) any other amount payable on or with respect
to any of the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes; such reference shall be deemed to include
payment of Additional Amounts as described under this Section 2.14 to the extent that,
in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
The Payors will pay any present
or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise, property or similar Taxes (including any related
interest, penalties and additions thereto) that arise in any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, issuance, initial
resale, registration or enforcement of any Notes, the Guarantees of the Notes, the Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation
thereto (other than a transfer of the Notes).
The foregoing obligations
will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture, any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of its Notes and
will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is incorporated, organized, engaged in business
for tax purposes or otherwise considered to be a resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment under,
or with respect to, the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes is made by or on behalf of such Payor, or any political subdivision or governmental
authority thereof or therein having the power to tax.
Article III.
Redemption
Section 3.01 Notices
to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 6 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing
of the redemption date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption price and that such redemption is being made pursuant
to paragraph 6 of the Notes.
The Company shall give notice
to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.01 at least 2 Business Days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents
to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to
the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.
Section 3.02 Selection
of Notes To Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption
date, the Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, in accordance with the customary procedures of the Depository, shall select the Notes
to be redeemed pro rata, and if the Depository prescribes no method of selection, then, by lot or by any other method that complies with
applicable legal and securities exchange requirements, if any, and that the Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, in its sole discretion
deems fair and appropriate and in accordance with methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar circumstances.
The Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The
Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger
than $2,000. Notes and portions of them the Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, selects shall be in amounts of $2,000, or an integral
multiple of $1,000, (but in any event not less than $2,000). Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, shall notify the Company promptly of the
Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee shall not be liable for selection made by it under this Section.
61
Section 3.03 Notice
of Redemption. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a date for optional redemption of Notes pursuant to paragraph
6 of the Notes, the Company shall send a notice of redemption electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each
Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC
(except that redemption notices may be delivered or mailed more than 60 days prior to an applicable redemption if the notice is issued
in connection with a defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture). Notice of any optional redemption upon any Equity Offering
may be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering. Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Company’s
discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, consummation of any related
Equity Offering. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice
shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions
shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded
in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption
date, or by the redemption date so delayed. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance
of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.
The notice shall identify
the Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers if any) and shall state:
(a) the
redemption date;
(b) the
redemption price;
(c) the
name and address of the Paying Agent;
(d) that
Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(e) if
fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, or if a Note is to be redeemed in part only, the identification and principal
amounts of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed;
(f) that,
unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption
date;
62
(g) that
no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes;
and
(h) any
conditions to such redemption.
At the Company’s written
request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event,
the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section at least 2 Business Days before the redemption
date, unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period.
Section 3.04 Effect
of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption
become due and payable on the redemption date or purchase date, as applicable, and at the redemption price or purchase price, as applicable,
stated in the notice, unless such redemption or purchase is conditioned on the happening of a future event. The notice, if sent in a
manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. Upon surrender
to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price or purchase price, as applicable, stated in the notice, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the redemption date or purchase date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the related interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date or repurchase date, as applicable).
Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date or the purchase date, unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption
or purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption, unless such redemption or purchase
remains conditioned on the occurrence of a future event that has not occurred. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to
any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.
Section 3.05 Deposit
of Redemption Price. Prior to noon, New York City time, on the redemption date or purchase date, the Company shall deposit with
the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a domestic wholly-owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money
sufficient to pay the redemption price or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest (subject to the right of Holders of record
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date or
purchase date) on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that
have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 3.06 Notes
Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender and cancellation of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of
the Note surrendered. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only a written request or order
signed on behalf of the Company by an Officer and delivered to the Trustee and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate
is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Notes.
Section 3.07 Mandatory
Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
63
Section 3.08 Offers
to Repurchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.
(a) In
the event that, pursuant to Section 4.16, the Company shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer or elects to commence an
Advance Offer, it shall follow the procedures specified below.
(b) The
Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as the case may be, shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement
(the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase
Date”), the Company shall apply all Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) (the “Offer
Amount”), to the purchase of Notes and, if required or permitted by the terms of any other First Lien Obligations and/or, to
the extent that the assets or property disposed of in the Asset Sale were not Collateral, Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata
basis, if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and, if applicable, First Lien Obligations and/or
other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as the case may be. Payment for any Notes
so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.
(c) If
the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, up to but excluding the Purchase Date, shall be paid on the Purchase Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the
close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset
Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as the case may be.
(d) Upon
the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer or an Advance Offer, as the case may be, the Company shall send, electronically or by first-class
mail, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary
to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as the case may be. The Asset Sale Offer or
Advance Offer, as the case may be, shall be made to all Holders and, if required or permitted by the terms thereof, holders of other
First Lien Obligations and, to the extent that the assets and property disposed of in the Asset Sale were not Collateral, any other Pari
Passu Indebtedness. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as the case may be, shall state:
(i) that
the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as the case may be, is being made pursuant to this Section 3.08 and Section 4.16 and
the length of time the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as the case may be, shall remain open;
(ii) the
Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;
(iii) that
any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;
(iv) that,
unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer,
as the case may be, shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;
(v) that
Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or an Advance Offer, as the case may be, may elect to have
Notes purchased in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only;
64
(vi) that
Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as the case may be, shall be required to
surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note completed, or transfer
by book-entry transfer, to the Company, DTC, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at
least three days before the Purchase Date;
(vii) that,
if the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes and, if applicable, other First Lien Obligations and, to
the extent that the assets and property disposed of in the Asset Sale were not Collateral, other Pari Passu Indebtedness, in each case,
surrendered by the holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes (subject to applicable DTC procedures
as to Global Notes) and the Company or the representative of such other First Lien Obligations and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness
shall select such other First Lien Obligations and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased or repaid on a pro rata basis based
on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such other First Lien Obligations and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered
(with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed or purchased in part,
except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes of such Holder, even
if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased); and
(viii) that
Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the
Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer) representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased.
(e) On
or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the
extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as
the case may be, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered and (2) deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes
or portions thereof so tendered.
(f) The
Company, DTC or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the
purchase price of the Notes properly tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly
issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred
by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no
Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note) in a
principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased;
provided, that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce
the results of the Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer, as the case may be, on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.
65
Other than as specifically
provided in this Section 3.08 or Section 4.16, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be made pursuant to the
applicable provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.07.
Section 3.09 Redemption
for Taxation Reasons
The Company may redeem the
Notes, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, upon not less than 10 nor more
than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable), together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to (but not including) the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Tax Redemption
Date) and all Additional Amounts if any, then due or that will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or
otherwise, if any, if the Company determines in good faith that, as a result of:
(1) any change in, or amendment to, the
law or treaties (or any regulations, protocols or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction affecting taxation; or
(2) any change in, or amendment to, an official
position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties,
regulations, protocols or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a government
agency or court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice)
(each of the foregoing in clauses (1) and (2), a “Change in Tax Law”),
any Payor with respect to the Notes or a Guarantee
of the Notes is, or on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes or a Guarantee of the Notes would be,
required to pay any Additional Amounts, and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to such Payor (including
the appointment of a new paying agent or the payment through another Payor).
In the case of any Payor,
the Change in Tax Law must not have been publicly announced before and must become effective on or
after the date of this offering memorandum (or, if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction
after the date of this offering memorandum, such a change that occurs after such later date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
notice of redemption will be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would be obligated to make such
payment of Additional Amounts and unless at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional
Amounts remains in effect. Prior to the publication, mailing or delivery of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to
the foregoing, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to
effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to their right so to redeem have
been satisfied (including, that the Payor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking
reasonable measures available to it) and (b) an opinion of an independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect
that the Payor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will accept such Officer’s
Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, in which event it will
be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

except as contemplated by clause (xxii) of this Section 4.05(b), an amount such that the Secured Leverage Ratio is equal to

mature prior to the Maturity Date;
(xxx) Indebtedness
incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited with the Trustee

73
(d) For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more
than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in this Section 4.05, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify and
reclassify or later divide, classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include
the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one or more of the above clauses; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding on the
Issue Date under (A) the New 1L Term Loan Facility shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (i) above and shall
not be permitted to be reclassified, and (B) the New 2L Term Loan Facility shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause
(ix) above and shall not be permitted to be reclassified; provided further that if any such portion of such Indebtedness
could, based on the financial statements for such Test Period, have been incurred in reliance on Section 4.05(b)(i)(z) or Section 4.05(b)(xxix),
such portion of such Indebtedness shall automatically be reclassified as having been incurred under the applicable provisions of Section 4.05(b)(i)(z) or
Section 4.05(b)(xxix) (in each case, subject to satisfying any other applicable provision of Section 4.05(b)(i)(z) or
Section 4.05(b)(xxix)).
(e) If
Indebtedness originally incurred in reliance upon a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage
Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio under any clause of this Section 4.05 is being refinanced under any clause of this Section 4.05
and such refinancing would cause the maximum amount of Indebtedness thereunder to be exceeded at such time, then such refinancing will
nevertheless be permitted thereunder and such additional Indebtedness will be deemed to have been incurred, and permitted to be incurred,
under such applicable clause, so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of
Indebtedness being refinanced plus amounts permitted by the next sentence. Any such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be permitted to include
additional Indebtedness incurred to pay premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid
interest, dividends and fees, costs and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or similar fees) in connection with
such Refinancing.
Accrual of interest or dividends,
the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in
the form of additional Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity Interests will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or Disqualified
Equity Interests for purposes of this Section 4.05.

or, in the case of Junior Financing, are market terms at the time of issuance and (B) clause (vi) above, such restrictions
shall not expand the scope in any material respect of any such restriction or condition contained in the Indebtedness being refinanced;

or fraudulent or detrimental transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
Section 4.11 Change
of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Company has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption
notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.03, the Company will be required to make an offer
(a “Change of Control Offer”) to purchase all outstanding Notes (as described in this Indenture) at a purchase price
equal to 101% of their principal amount (or such higher amount as the Company may determine (any Change of Control Offer at a higher
amount, an “Alternate Offer”)) (such price, the “Change of Control Payment”) plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date).
Within 60 days following
the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send, electronically or by first class mail to the address of such
Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, a notice to each Holder of Notes, with
a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state:
(1) that
all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Company;
(2) the
purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 20 Business Days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice
is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); provided, that the Change of Control Payment Date shall be
delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date such notice is sent) as any or all such conditions referred to in
clause (8) below shall be satisfied or waived;
(3) that
any Notes not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;
82
(4) that
unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment plus accrued and unpaid interest on all properly tendered
Notes, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control
Payment Date;
(5) that
Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the
form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed or otherwise in accordance with
the procedures of DTC, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business
on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;
(6) until
the close of business on the tenth Business Day after the date such notice is sent (or such later time and date as the Company may decide
in its sole discretion) (such time and date, the “withdrawal deadline”), that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw
their tendered Notes and their election to require the Company to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives,
not later than the withdrawal deadline, as electronic transmission (in PDF), a facsimile transmission or letter or other communication
in accordance with the procedures of DTC setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for
purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;
(7) that
if less than all of such Holder’s Notes are tendered for purchase, such Holder will be issued new Notes (or, in the case of Global
Notes, such Notes shall be reduced by such amount of Notes that the Holder has tendered) and such new Notes will be equal in principal
amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (the unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof);
(8) if
such notice is sent prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence
of such Change of Control or such other conditions specified therein and describing each such condition, and, if applicable, stating
that, in the Company’s discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days
after the notice is mailed or delivered) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or that such purchase may not occur
and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Company reasonably believes that any or all such conditions (including the occurrence
of such Change of Control) will not be satisfied or waived by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment
Date as so delayed; and
(9) such
other instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.11, that a Holder must follow.
If a notice relating to a
Change of Control Offer that is subject to one or more conditions precedent (other than the occurrence of a Change of Control) is later
rescinded as described in clause (8) above as a result of the failure of such condition(s) to be satisfied or waived (or as
a result of the Company reasonably believing that such will be the case), the offer described in such notice will not be deemed a valid
“Change of Control Offer” for purposes of this Section 4.11.
83
The Company will not be required
to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (i) a third party approved in writing by the Company makes the
Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable
to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control
Offer, (ii) a notice of redemption to the Holders of the Notes has been given pursuant to this Indenture pursuant to Section 3.03
herein or (iii) in the event that upon the consummation of such Change of Control, the Company defeases or discharges the Notes
as provided for under Article Eight herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made
in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control
at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.
If Holders of not less than
90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer
and the Company, or any third party approved in writing by the Company making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described
above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right,
upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 60 days following such purchase pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem (with respect to the Company) or purchase (with respect to a third party) all of the
Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date (the “Second Change of Control Payment Date”) at a
price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of the Second Change of Control Payment Date, including, to the extent
not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Second Change of
Control Payment Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date falling on or prior to the Second Change of Control Payment Date.
If an offer is made to repurchase
the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer pursuant to this Section 4.11, the Company will comply with all tender offer rules under
state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1
thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations, including
Section 14(e) of, and Rule 14e-1 under, the Exchange Act, conflict with the change of control provisions of this Indenture,
the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under the change of control provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.
A Change of Control Offer
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an
amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes and/or the Guarantees so long as the tender of Notes by a Holder is not
conditioned upon the delivery of consents by such Holder. In addition, the Company or any third party approved in writing by the Company
that is making the Change of Control Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Offer) may, subject to applicable law,
increase or decrease the Change of Control Payment (or decline to pay any early tender or similar premium) being offered to Holders at
any time in its sole discretion, so long as the Change of Control Payment is at least equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
84

such information relates to a parent of the Company, such information is accompanied by consolidating information, which may be unaudited,
that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information
relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand, and to the extent such information is in lieu
of information required to be provided under this Section 4.12, such materials are accompanied by a report and opinion of an independent
registered public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, which report and opinion shall be prepared in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and (b) (i) in no event shall any financial statements or reports be required to comply with (w) Rule 3-10

Regulation S-X (or such other rule or regulation that amends, supplements or replaces such Rule 3-09) or (y) Rule 3-16
of Regulation S-X (or such other rule or regulation that amends, supplements or replaces such Rule 3-16) and (ii) in no
event shall such financial statements or reports be required to comply with Regulation G under the Exchange Act or Item 10(e) of
Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein.
(d) Delivery
of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing
shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein, or determinable from information contained therein,
including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no duty to review or analyze reports delivered to it under any
circumstances. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness, or content of such reports.
85
Section 4.13 Statement
as to Compliance. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the
date hereof, a brief certificate of its principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating
whether, to such officer’s knowledge, the Company is in compliance with all covenants and conditions to be complied with by it
under this Indenture. For purposes of this Section 4.13, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace
or requirement of notice under this Indenture.
When a Default has occurred
and is continuing or if the Trustee, any Holder or the trustee for or the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Company
or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default, notice or other action within 10 Business Days of its occurrence.
Section 4.14 Waiver
of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections
4.03 to Section 4.11, Section 4.12(a) and Section 4.16, if the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes at the time outstanding shall, by written direction of such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance with such covenant
or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant
or condition shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 4.15 Up-Tiering
Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into (a) any Up-Tiering Transaction
involving Existing LMT Debt or (b) any transaction designed to circumvent this Section 4.15. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the foregoing limitation shall not apply so long as such New LMT Debt is offered ratably to each directly and adversely
affected Holder (which offer may be made pursuant to a widely disseminated press release or an announcement made through the facilities
of DTC) on the same terms and conditions (excluding any Ancillary Fees) as any Holder (or Affiliate of any such Holder) is offered; provided,
that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such opportunity (including any fees (other than Ancillary Fees) available prior to the closing
thereof) may be provided in connection with a post-closing syndication of such New LMT Debt.

basis with any such Senior Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause 4.16(b)(2)(ii) by, at its option, (x) redeeming Notes
as provided under Article 3 and/or (y) purchasing Notes through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions
(which may be below par) and/or (B) make an offer (in accordance with the provisions set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to
all Holders to purchase their Notes on a ratable basis with any Senior Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause 4.16(b)(2)(ii) for
no less than 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon (which offer shall
be deemed to be an Asset Sale Offer for purposes hereof);
(3) to
invest in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including any acquisition or other Investment permitted under this Indenture);
or
(4) any
combination of the foregoing;
provided
that, in the case of clause (3) above, a binding commitment or letter of intent shall be treated as a permitted application of the
Applicable Proceeds from the date of such commitment or letter of intent so long as the Company or such Subsidiary enters into such commitment
or letter of intent with the good faith expectation that such Applicable Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment or letter
of intent within 180 days of the expiration of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period (an “Acceptable Commitment”)
and such Applicable Proceeds are actually applied in such manner within 180 days of the expiration of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application
Period (the period from the consummation of the Asset Sale to such date, the “Commitment Application Period”), and,
in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason after the expiration of the Asset Sale Proceeds
Application Period and before the Applicable Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then such Applicable Proceeds shall constitute
Excess Proceeds unless the Company or such Subsidiary reasonably expects to enter into another Acceptable Commitment prior to the expiration
of the Commitment Application Period and such Applicable Proceeds are actually applied in such manner prior to the expiration of the
Commitment Application Period. To the extent Applicable Proceeds from an Asset Sale exceed amounts that are invested or applied as provided
and within the time period set forth in Section 4.16(b), such excess amount will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”;
provided further that any amount of Applicable Proceeds offered to Holders of any Notes pursuant to clause (2) above shall
not be deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to whether such offer is accepted by any Holders.
87
If at any time the aggregate
amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of $62.0 million and 10.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period,
then the Company shall within 20 Business Days make an offer to all Holders and, if required or permitted by the terms of any other First
Lien Obligations and/or, to the extent that the assets or property disposed of in the Asset Sale were not Collateral, Indebtedness
that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such First
Lien Obligations and/or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate
principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of the Notes and such First Lien Obligations and/or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable,
out of the amount of the Excess Proceeds (in the case of any First Lien Obligations and/or Pari Passu Indebtedness, if applicable, is
in accordance with the documents governing such First Lien Obligations and/or Pari Passu Indebtedness). The Company shall commence an
Asset Sale Offer by sending the notice required pursuant to the terms of Section 3.08, with a copy to the Trustee. The Company may
satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to such Applicable Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer in advance
of being required to do so by this Indenture (an “Advance Offer”) with respect to all or part of the available Applicable
Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”).
(c) If
the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes and, if applicable, First Lien Obligations and/or Pari Passu
Indebtedness, tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance
Portion), the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) in any manner
not prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero
(regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion), and in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance
Portion shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Excess Proceeds.
(d) Pending
the final application of an amount equal to the Applicable Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.16, the holder of such Applicable
Proceeds may apply any Applicable Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility (including
under the Senior Credit Facilities) or otherwise invest such Applicable Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Company may apply any Retained Declined Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture and such
Retained Declined Proceeds shall in no event and under no circumstances constitute Excess Proceeds.
88
(e) Notwithstanding
anything in this Indenture to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Applicable Proceeds received by a Foreign Subsidiary
are prohibited or delayed under any Requirements of Law from being repatriated to the Company, the portion of such Applicable Proceeds
so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.16 and shall not constitute Excess Proceeds and
may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit
repatriation to the Company (the Company hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably
required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds
is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Applicable Proceeds
will be promptly applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) in compliance with this Section 4.16,
and (ii) to the extent that and for so long as the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Applicable
Proceeds would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection
with such repatriation), the Applicable Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.16
and shall not constitute Excess Proceeds and may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when the Company
determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Applicable Proceeds received by such Foreign Subsidiary would no longer
have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such
repatriation), such Applicable Proceeds shall be promptly applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof)
in compliance with this Section 4.16.
(f) For
purposes of clause 4.16(a)(2) of this Section 4.16 (and no other provision), any securities received by the Company or such
Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of
the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of the applicable Asset Sale shall be deemed to be cash.
(g) The
Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder
to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer
or an Advance Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the asset sale provisions
of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached
its obligations under the asset sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.
(h) The
provisions of this Indenture relating to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset
Sale may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding. An Asset Sale Offer or Advance Offer may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an
amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes and/or the Guarantees so long as the tender of the Notes by a Holder is
not conditioned upon the delivery of consents by such Holder.
89
Section 4.17 After-Acquired
Collateral. From and after the Issue Date, and subject to the applicable limitations and exceptions set forth in the Security
Documents and this Indenture (including with respect to Excluded Assets and Agreed Security Principles), if the Company or any Guarantor
creates any additional security interest upon any property or asset that would constitute Collateral to secure any First Lien Obligations,
it must concurrently grant a first-priority perfected security interest, subject to Permitted Liens, upon any such Collateral, as security
for the Secured Notes Obligations.

required in this Indenture or the applicable Security Documents and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected
to the extent required by the applicable Security Documents;
90

(g) In
addition, the Company shall not permit any Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into any Person (other than another Guarantor

to the Trustee, and joinders to the applicable Security Documents, and any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement;

lease) described and listed in Section 5.01 in which the Company is not the continuing entity, the successor Person formed or remaining
shall succeed to, be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company, and the Company shall be discharged from
all obligations and covenants under the Notes and this Indenture.

93
Section 6.02 Acceleration;
Rescission and Annulment.
(a) If
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f)) occurs and is continuing, then and
in every such case the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or
(f) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on, all the Notes shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part
of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee,
acceleration is not in the interest of the Holders.
(b) At
any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained
by the Trustee as provided hereinafter in this Article, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding,
by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(i) the
Company has paid or deposited, or caused to be paid or deposited, with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:
(A) all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel;
(B) all
overdue interest on all Notes;
(C) the
principal of (and premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on) any Notes that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration
and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes; and
(D) to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Notes; and
(ii) all
Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of the Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
have been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(c) In
the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes because an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) shall
have occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject
of such Event of Default (i) is Indebtedness in the form of an operating lease entered into by the Company or its Subsidiaries after
May 21, 1998 and required to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet pursuant to EITF 97-10 or any subsequent pronouncement
having similar effect, (ii) has been discharged or the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect
of such Indebtedness, and (iii) written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the
Trustee by the Company and countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within
30 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30-day
period which has not been cured or waived during such period.
94
Section 6.03 Other
Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain
a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the
Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
Section 6.04 Waiver
of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
voting together as a single class by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture and
the Security Documents, except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note held by a non-consenting Holder,
(b) a Default arising from a failure to make or consummate a Change of Control Offer in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.11,
or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected.
When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent
right.
Section 6.05 Control
by Majority. Subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding voting together as a single class may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent
with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines
is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable in personal
liability. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable indemnification, in its sole discretion,
against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
Section 6.06 Limitation
on Suits. Subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, a Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture
or the Notes unless:
(a) such
Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
95
(b) the
Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting together as a single class shall have made
a written request, and such Holder or Holders shall have offered, to the extent satisfactory to the Trustee, security or indemnity against
the loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) to be incurred in compliance with such request, to the Trustee to pursue
such proceeding as trustee; and
(c) the
Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding and has not received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer.
The foregoing limitations
on the pursuit of remedies by a Holder shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of Notes for the enforcement of payment of the
principal of or interest on such Notes on or after the applicable due date specified in such Note. A Holder may not use this Indenture
to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.
Section 6.07 Rights
of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to bring suit for
the enforcements of the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed
in the Notes, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.08 Collection
Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together
with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.
Section 6.09 Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its
creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.
Section 6.10 Priorities.
Subject to the provisions of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six,
it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:
FIRST: to the Trustee
(acting in any capacity hereunder) and the Notes Collateral Agent, in each case for amounts due under Section 7.07;
SECOND: to Holders
for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any
kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and
THIRD:
to the Company.
The Trustee may fix a record
date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall
mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.
96
Section 6.11 Undertaking
for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders
of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes.
Section 6.12 Waiver
of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Article VII.
Trustee
Section 7.01 Duties
of Trustee.
(a) If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such Person’s own affairs.
(b) Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants
or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(ii) in
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations
or other facts stated therein).
97
(c) The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct,
except that:
(i) this
subsection (c) does not limit the effect of subsection (b) of this Section;
(ii) the
Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received
by it pursuant to Section 6.05.
(d) Every

Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall
deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under
this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer
all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.
If a successor Trustee does
not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the Trustee fails to comply
with Section 7.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
Notwithstanding the replacement
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the
retiring Trustee.
Section 7.09 Successor
Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate
trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking
association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated
but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver
such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated; any such successor to the Trustee
may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all
such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate
of the Trustee shall have.

the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the
Trustee in this 7.12 together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions. For the avoidance of doubt, the

financing under applicable law)) with respect to which all or any portion of the Secured Notes Obligations would be subordinated in right
of payment or Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Secured Notes Obligations would be subordinated (any such
other Indebtedness to which the Obligations are subordinated in right of payment or such Liens securing any of the Obligations are subordinated,
“Specified Indebtedness”), unless each Holder has been offered a bona fide opportunity (which may be offered pursuant
to a widely disseminated press release or an announcement made through the facilities of DTC) to fund or otherwise provide its pro
rata share (based on the principal amount of Secured Notes Obligations held by each Holder that are adversely affected thereby) of
the Specified Indebtedness on the same terms (other than bona fide backstop fees and reimbursement of counsel fees and other expenses
in connection with the negotiation of the terms of such transaction; such fees and expenses, “Ancillary Fees”) as
offered to all other providers (or their Affiliates) of the Specified Indebtedness and to the extent such adversely affected Holder decides
to participate in the Specified Indebtedness, receive its pro rata share of the fees and any other similar benefit (other than Ancillary
Fees) of the Specified Indebtedness afforded to the providers of the Specified Indebtedness (or any of their Affiliates) in connection
with providing the Specified Indebtedness; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such opportunity (including any fees
(other than bona fide backstop fees) available prior to the closing thereof) may be provided in connection with a post-closing syndication
of the Specified Indebtedness.
108
Upon the request of the Company
and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt
by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent shall join with the Company
in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or security documents or intercreditor agreements (provided, that any
such intercreditor agreement may reflect that any additional Indebtedness referenced therein has Liens either senior to or junior to
the Secured Notes Obligations or any Consolidated First Lien Debt, as applicable, so long as such Liens are permitted under this Indenture,
or any joinder with respect to any of the foregoing upon the receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating that such execution and
delivery is permitted by this Indenture and all conditions precedent relating to such execution and delivery have been satisfied) unless
such amended or supplemental indenture or security documents or intercreditor agreements directly affect the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient
if such consent approves the substance thereof.
In addition, Holders will
be deemed to have consented for purposes of the Security Documents and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and the Notes Collateral
Agent and the Trustee will be authorized, to amend or supplement the Security Documents or enter into a new intercreditor agreement to
add additional secured parties to the extent Liens securing Indebtedness and other Obligations held by such parties are permitted under
this Indenture. In executing any such amendment, supplement, consent or waiver to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement or Security
Document or in entering into a new intercreditor agreement or Security Document, the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled
to receive and (subject to their duties set forth in this Indenture) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate
and Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, supplement, consent or waiver or new agreement is authorized or
permitted by any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and/or Security Document, as the case may be, and complies with the
provisions thereof and of this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no opinion of counsel shall be
required in connection with the execution by the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent of any such amendment, supplement, consent waiver
or other modification to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Security Documents or the entry into a new intercreditor agreement
or Security Document.
109
After an amendment under
this Section becomes effective, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Holders a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment
under this Section.
Section 9.03 Actions
Taken by Beneficial Owners. In the case of any consent, waiver or other action to be taken by a Holder with respect to Notes
beneficially owned by a Person, the Company and the Trustee, in their respective sole discretion, upon evidence satisfactory to each
(and any additional information requested by each), that such Notes are beneficially owned by such Person, may accept any consent, waiver
or other action taken by such Person with respect to Notes it beneficially owns as having been provided or performed by the Holder thereof.
Section 9.04 Revocation
and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation
of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to
such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver
becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective
upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee.
The Company may, but shall
not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action
described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. Such record date shall be a date not more than 30 days
prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and no later than the date such solicitation is completed.
If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date
(or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously
given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be
valid or effective for more than 180 days after such record date.
For all purposes of this
Indenture, all Initial Notes and Additional Notes shall vote together as one series of Notes under this Indenture.
110
Section 9.05 Notation
on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver
such Note to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return such Note
to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall
not affect the validity of such amendment.
Section 9.06 Trustee
To Sign Amendments. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article Nine
if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent.
If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it, in its sole discretion, and to receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 and (subject
to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon and shall be entitled to receive, an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture
to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the execution by the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent of
any such amendment, supplement, joinder, consent waiver or other modification to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Security
Documents or the entering into of a new intercreditor agreement or Security Document.

Article XI.
Guarantee
Section 11.01 Guarantee.
Subject to the provisions of this Article Eleven, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary
obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes and the Trustee, the full
and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (including,
without limitation, any interest, fees or expenses accruing subsequent to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding, whether or not such interest, fees or expenses is an allowed claim under applicable state, federal or foreign law and the
obligations under Section 7.07) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guarantor Obligations”).
Each Guarantor agrees that the Guarantor Obligations will rank equally in right of payment with other indebtedness of such Guarantor,
except to the extent such other Indebtedness is subordinate to the Guarantor Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent
permitted by law) that the Guarantor Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from
it, and that it will remain bound under this Article Eleven notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guarantor Obligation.
111
Each Guarantor waives presentation
to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guarantor Obligations and also waives notice of protest for non-payment.
Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guarantor Obligations.
Each Guarantor further agrees
that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require
that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guarantor Obligations.
Except as set forth in Section 11.02,
the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason
(other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise,
and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations
of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other
agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal granted; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any
of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder
or the Trustee for the Guarantor Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against
any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Company; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise,
in the performance of the Guarantor Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing
which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor
as a matter of law or equity.
Subject to the provisions
of Section 4.10, each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of
all the Guarantor Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee in compliance with Section 11.03 hereof. Each Guarantor
further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment,
or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any
Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
Each Guarantor agrees that
its Guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in its Guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance
within the meaning of Section 678 of the Companies Act 2006.
In furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure
of the Company to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or
cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then
due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not
prohibited by law).
112
Each Guarantor further agrees
that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations
guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in
the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or not due and payable)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.
Each Guarantor also agrees
to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders
in enforcing any rights under this Section.
Section 11.02 Execution
and Delivery. To further evidence its Guarantee, each Subsidiary and other Person that is required to become a Guarantor hereby
agrees to (x) execute this Indenture or (y) in the case of any Person that becomes a Guarantor after the date hereof, execute
a supplement to this Indenture, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and deliver it to the Trustee. Concurrently
with the execution and delivery of (x) this Indenture or (y) in the case of any Person that becomes a Guarantor after the date
hereof, any supplemental indenture to this Indenture, each Guarantor who executes such supplemental indenture agrees that its Guarantee
set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation
of such Guarantee on the Notes.
Each of the Guarantors hereby
agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse
on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.
If an Officer of a Guarantor
whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note or at any time thereafter,
such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Note shall nevertheless be valid.
The delivery of any Note
by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in this Indenture
on behalf of each Guarantor.
Section 11.03 Limitation
on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.
(a) Any
term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation,
any Guarantees under the Senior Credit Facilities) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of
any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution
obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally.
113
(b) Each
Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee
and such Guarantee shall automatically and unconditionally terminate, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee
is required for the release of such Guarantor or the termination of such Guarantee:
(i) upon
any sale, exchange, issuance, transfer or other disposition (by merger, consolidation, amalgamation, dividend, distribution or otherwise)
of (x) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the applicable Guarantor is no
longer a Subsidiary or (y) all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor to a Person that is not the Company or a Guarantor,
in each case, if such sale, exchange, issuance, transfer or other disposition is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of
this Indenture (including any amendments thereof);
(ii) (x) upon
the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities or (y) upon the
release or discharge of such other guarantee that required such Guarantor to provide such Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.10 except,
in each case, (A) a discharge or release by or as a result of payment and (B) if at the time of the release and discharge of
such Guarantee, such Guarantor would be required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to any of the provisions of Section 4.10;
(iii) upon
such Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;
(iv) upon
the Company exercising its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 or the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
(v) upon
the merger, amalgamation, consolidation or winding up of such Guarantor with and into the Company or another Guarantor or a Subsidiary
that becomes a Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger, amalgamation, consolidation or winding up, or upon the liquidation
of such Guarantor; or
(vi) as
described under Article 9 hereof.
(c) In
addition, the Company will have the right, upon delivery of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, to
cause any Guarantor that has not guaranteed any Indebtedness under the New Term Loan Facilities and is not otherwise required by the
applicable terms of the Indenture to provide a Guarantee, to be unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under its
Guarantee, and such Guarantee will thereupon automatically and unconditionally terminate and be discharged and of no further force or
effect.
(d) No
Guarantor will be released from its guarantee or become an Excluded Subsidiary, including as a result of ceasing to be wholly-owned,
unless (i) at the time such Guarantor ceases to be wholly-owned or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, the primary purpose
of such transaction was not to evade the guarantee requirements hereof, (ii) the transaction by which such Guarantor ceases to be
wholly-owned or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary was consummated on an arms’ length basis with an unaffiliated third party
and (iii) such transaction otherwise complies with the terms of this Indenture (with the Company being deemed to have made an Investment
in such resulting non-Guarantor Subsidiary or Excluded Subsidiary at the time of such transaction and such Investment being permitted
pursuant to the Indenture).
114
Section 11.04 Right
of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate
share of any payment made on the obligations under the Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution
from and against the Company, or any other Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this
Section 11.04 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each
Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
Section 11.05 No
Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated
to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee
or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be
entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor
hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Company on account of the Guarantor Obligations are paid in
full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations
shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from
other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received
by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guarantor Obligations.

Section 12.01 Security

the overdue principal of, premium, Additional Amounts and interest on the Notes and performance of all other Obligations of the Company
and the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents, according
to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents (including, where applicable, by way of
security for the Parallel Debt), which define the terms of the Liens that secure the Secured Notes Obligations, subject to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Notes Collateral Agent
holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent (or, in the case of any Collateral
governed by the laws of a jurisdiction that does not recognize the concept of a trust or the holding of accessory security by a person
other than the creditor of the secured claim, as creditor of the Parallel Debt and/or as security trustee (Treuhänder) or
agent for the Notes Secured Parties, in each case as provided in the applicable Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements) and
pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees
to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral)
and the Intercreditor Agreements as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and
this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreements, and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents
and the Intercreditor Agreements on the Issue Date and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.
In the event of conflict between an Intercreditor Agreement and any of the other Security Documents, the applicable Intercreditor Agreement
shall control. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, (a) agrees that it will be subject to and bound by and will take no actions
contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and (b) authorizes and instructs the Notes Collateral Agent to enter
into the Intercreditor Agreements on the Issue Date as the Notes Collateral Agent, and on behalf of such Holder, including without limitation,
making the representations of the Holders contained therein. The Company shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent copies of all documents
required to be filed pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably
required by the next sentence of this Section 12.01, to assure and confirm to the Notes Collateral Agent the security interest in
the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render
the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes
herein expressed. The Company and the Guarantors shall, at their sole expense and subject to the Agreed Security Principles, take all
actions and make all filings (including filing Uniform Commercial Code (including amendments and continuation statements) and other financing
statements, mortgages and deeds of trust) that may be required under applicable law, or that the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent
may reasonably request, in order to ensure the creation, perfection and priority (or continuance thereof), as security for the Obligations
of the Company and the Guarantors to the secured parties under this Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Intercreditor
Agreements and the Security Documents, of a valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral
(subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents), in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the Holders and the Trustee subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.
(b) It
is understood and agreed that prior to the Discharge of the First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations and subject to the terms of the Security
Documents, to the extent that the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is satisfied with or agrees to any deliveries or documents
required to be provided in respect of any matters relating to the Collateral or makes any determination in respect of any matters relating
to the Collateral (including, without limitation, extensions of time or waivers for the creation and perfection of security interests
in, or the obtaining of title insurance, surveys, legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to, particular assets or the provision
of any guarantee by any Subsidiary (including in connection with assets acquired, or Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the Issue
Date) where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would
otherwise be required to be accomplished by the Senior Credit Facilities), the Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be satisfied
with such deliveries and/or documents and the judgment of the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent in respect of any such matters
under the Senior Credit Facilities shall be deemed to be the judgment of the Notes Collateral Agent in respect of such matters under
this Indenture and the Security Documents.

of such Liens;
(vii) in
connection with any enforcement action taken by the Controlling Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement;
(viii) as
described under Article 9; or
(ix) as
permitted by Section 4.16.

(iii) pursuant
to the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Centertainment/Odeon First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in each case as described
above and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes.

addition, any Lien on any Collateral may be (i) released or subordinated to the holder of any Lien on such Collateral that is created,
incurred or assumed pursuant to clauses (iv) or (viii)(A) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” to the extent
required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens and (ii) subordinated to any Lien on any Mortgaged Property if required
under the terms of any lease, easement, right of way or similar agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property provided such lease, easement,
right of way or similar agreement is permitted by Section 4.07.
(d) With
respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under this
Indenture and the Security Documents to such release have been met and that it is permitted for the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent
to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Company in connection with such release and any necessary or proper instruments
of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or
acknowledge (at the Company’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released
pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents and shall do or cause to be done (at the Company’s expense) all acts reasonably
requested of them to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall
be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate, and notwithstanding any term hereof
or in any Security Document to the contrary, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release
any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until
it receives such Officer’s Certificate.
Section 12.03 Suits
to Protect the Collateral.
Subject to the provisions
of Article 7 and the Security Documents, the Trustee may, or may direct the Notes Collateral Agent, to take all actions it determines
in order to:
(a) enforce
any of the terms of the Security Documents; and
118
(b) collect
and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.
Subject to the provisions
of the Security Documents, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings
as the Trustee may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of
the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to preserve or protect its interests
and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or
obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

Subject to the provisions
of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the
Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 12.05 Purchaser
Protected.
In no event shall any purchaser
in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Notes Collateral Agent or
the Trustee to execute the applicable release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof
for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor
shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 12 to be sold be under any obligation
to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Company or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.
Section 12.06 Power
Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee.
In case the Collateral shall
be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 12 upon the Company or a
Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an
instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Company or a Guarantor
or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 12; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession
of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

Limits on Collateral.
Notwithstanding anything

Section 12.08 Notes
Collateral Agent.
(a) The
Company and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Notes Collateral Agent as its agent under
this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and the Company and each of the Holders by acceptance of the
Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture,
the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated
to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and consents and
agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to
act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.08. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral
Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, and the exercise by
the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the duties
of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements to which
the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship
with the Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities
shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral
Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference
to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect
only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) The
Notes Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements by
or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and
the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related
Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled
to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Notes Collateral
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person
that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care.
(c) None
of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated
thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee
or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other Grantor or
Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor
Agreements, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral
Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any failure
of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to
the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Grantor
or any Grantor’s Affiliates.
121
(d) The
Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or
conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made
by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company
or any other Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral
Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Notes Collateral Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor
Agreements unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Holders
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Security
Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.
(e) The
Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a
Trust Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Notes Collateral Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6
or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.08).
(f) The
Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance
of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Company
shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the
resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent
of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default).
If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days
after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled
to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral
agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral
Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral
Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.08 shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral
Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture.
122
(g) The
Trustee shall initially act as Notes Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Notes Collateral Agents as necessary in its
sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, neither
the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable
for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to
sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to
the Collateral or any part thereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result
of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall
be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(h) The
Notes Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is party, whether executed
on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into the Intercreditor Agreements, including joinders and supplements thereto, whether executed
on or after the Issue Date, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents and Intercreditor
Agreements, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and (v) perform
and observe its obligations under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.
(i) If
at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or
any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments
received by the Trustee from the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Notes
Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn
the same over to the Notes Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Notes
Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents
and the Intercreditor Agreements.
(j) The
Notes Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which,
in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession
of any such Collateral, upon request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall
deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral
Agent’s instructions.
123
(k) The
Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists
or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s
Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular
priority, or to determine whether all of the Grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and
security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness,
validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty
of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements other than pursuant to the instructions
of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.
(l) If
the Company or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of junior priority obligations at any time when none of the AMC
First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Centertainment First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Centertainment/Odeon
First Lien/Intermediate Lien Intercreditor Agreement is in effect and (ii) delivers to the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s
Certificate so stating and requesting the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the AMC First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
the Centertainment First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Centertainment/Odeon First Lien/Intermediate Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, as applicable, in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the junior priority obligations so incurred,
the Notes Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense
and cost of the Company, including legal fees and expenses of the Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein
and perform and observe its obligations thereunder; provided that neither an Officer’s Certificate nor an Opinion of Counsel
shall be required pursuant to this Section 12.08(l) in connection with the applicable Intercreditor Agreements (including pursuant
to a joinder thereto) to be entered into.
(m) No
provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Document shall require the Notes Collateral Agent (or the Trustee)
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder
or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee
in the case of the Notes Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent
and the Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents, in the event the Notes Collateral
Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession
of the Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect
or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Notes Collateral Agent has determined
that the Notes Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or
such property, of any hazardous substances. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described
in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.
124
(n) The
Notes Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture,
the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of
the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Notes Collateral
Agent may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such
counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted
or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers
to the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.
(o) Neither
the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control.
Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations
superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither
the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (including
but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.
(p) The
Notes Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Company or any
other Grantor under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in
this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred
to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements
or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor Agreements and any
Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence
of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the
validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business,
creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture, the
Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person
to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms
of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained
in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate
or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents
unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions
from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.
125
(q) The
parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be
responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands,
penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited
to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring
costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result
of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the
parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor
Agreements and the Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security
interest of the Notes Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed
as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Notes Collateral Agent or the
Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order
to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s
sole discretion may cause the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions
of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq.,
or otherwise cause the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law,
the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Notes Collateral
Agent or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Notes
Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Company, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution
actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s
actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous
materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed
by any Person (including the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Company or the Guarantors, a majority in interest
of Holders shall direct the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Notes Collateral
Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.
(r) Upon
the receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of a written request of the Company signed by an Officer (a “Security Document Order”),
the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent
of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document or amendment or supplement thereto, to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Security
Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document
Order referred to in, this Section 12.08(r), and (ii) instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security
Document or amendment or supplement thereto. Any such execution of a Security Document or amendment or supplement thereto shall be at
the direction and expense of the Company, upon delivery to the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate stating that
all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document or amendment or supplement thereto have been satisfied.
The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents
or amendment or supplement thereto.
126
(s) Subject
to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees
that the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents to which it is a party
and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents
and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable.
(t) After
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may direct the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted
by this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements.
(u) The
Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the
Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreements, for turnover
to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.10 and the other provisions of this Indenture.
(v) In
each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement
to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise
rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document or any Intercreditor
Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with
the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. If the Notes Collateral Agent
shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any
Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have
received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Notes Collateral
Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
(w) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the Notes Collateral
Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection,
protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture, the Security Documents or the
Intercreditor Agreements (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or
similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Notes Collateral
Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or
the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.
127
(x) Before
the Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Company or the Guarantors, it
may require an Officer’s Certificate, which shall conform to the provisions of this Section 12.08 and Sections 13.04 and 13.05;
provided that no Officer’s Certificate shall be required in connection with the Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreements to be entered into by the Notes Collateral Agent on the Issue Date. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate.
(y) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Security Documents, and shall solely act
pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee solely with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral.
(z) The
rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee are extended to, and shall be enforceable
by, the Notes Collateral Agent as if the Notes Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named
as in this Indenture.
(aa) The
Company and the Guarantors shall furnish to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal
year (beginning with the first fiscal year ending after the Issue Date and after giving effect to any fiscal year end change effected
on or after the Issue Date), an Officer’s Certificate (which may be the same certificate required to be delivered by the Company
pursuant to Section 4.13) either (i) (x) stating that such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing,
re-recording, and refiling of this Indenture or the Security Documents, as applicable, as are necessary to maintain the perfected Liens
of the applicable Security Documents securing the Obligations under applicable law to the extent required by the Security Documents other
than any action as described therein to be taken, and (y) stating that on the date of such Officer’s Certificate, all financing
statements, financing statement amendments and continuation statements have been or will be executed and filed that are necessary, as
of such date or promptly thereafter and during the succeeding 12 months, fully to maintain the perfection (to the extent required by
the Security Documents) of the security interests of the Notes Collateral Agent securing the Obligations thereunder and under the Security
Documents with respect to the Collateral; provided, that if there is a required filing of a continuation statement or other instrument
within such 12-month period and such continuation statement or amendment is not effective if filed at the time of the Officer’s
Certificate, such Officer’s Certificate may so state and in that case the Company and the Guarantors shall cause a continuation
statement or amendment to be timely filed and become effective so as to maintain such Liens and security interests securing Obligations
or (ii) stating that no such action is necessary to maintain such Liens or security interests.

statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with.
In any case where several
matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters
be certified by, or covered by, the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but
one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and
any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
130
Any
certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate
or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by,
an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company,
unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required
to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under
this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Section 13.06 When
Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction,
waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or the Guarantors or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by
or under direct or indirect common control with any of them shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the
purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a
Trust Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time shall be
considered in any such determination.
Section 13.07 Rules by
Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Holders. The Registrar
and the Paying Agent or co-registrar may make reasonable rules for their functions.
Section 13.08 Legal
Holidays. A “Legal Holiday” is a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are not required
to be open in the States of New York or Missouri. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding
day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is a Legal Holiday,
the record date shall not be affected.
Section 13.09 Governing
Law. THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,

the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture or any Security Document or for any claim based on, in respect
of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver
and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the
federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
131
Section 13.11 Successors.
All agreements of the Company and each Guarantor in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind their respective successors. All agreements
of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

financial statements of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any Person that would become a Subsidiary in connection with the transaction that
requires the computation and any Person from which the Company or a Subsidiary has acquired an operating business, or is acquiring an
operating business in connection with the transaction that requires the computation (each such Person whose financial statements are

the computation relates for which audited financial statements are available on the date of computation and unaudited financial statements
and other current financial data based on the books and records of the Relevant Person or Relevant Persons, as the case may be, to the
extent audited financial statements for the period or any portion of the period to which the computation relates are not available on
the date of computation; and (b) the Company shall be permitted to rely in good faith on the financial statements and other financial

together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Indenture or any document to be signed
in connection with this Indenture shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery
thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions
contemplated hereunder by electronic means.
Section 13.15 Table
of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture
have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict

(on behalf of the Holders) are entitled to claim (subject to any of the applicable guarantee limitations established and subject to compliance
with the terms of this Indenture) amounts outstanding under this Indenture following any non-payment of amounts due thereunder, and to
determine the amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents that may be claimable. This does not prejudice the exercise of any remedies

(or by, or on behalf of, the relevant Holder, as the case may be) pursuant to this Indenture. For the purposes of article 571 et seq.
of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, the Parties expressly agree that such balances shall be deemed to correctly reflect the amounts
due, provided that they have been calculated according to this Indenture and may be claimed pursuant to the same provisions of such law.
The content of this clause shall be understood without prejudice to the grounds for opposition to enforcement set out in articles 557
et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedure Law.

the determination of the debt to be claimed through the executive proceedings shall be effected by the Trustee (or the relevant Holder,
as the case may be), by means of the appropriate certificate evidencing the balances shown in the relevant account(s) referred to
in paragraph (i) above. By virtue of the foregoing, to exercise executive action against the Spanish Obligors and against the security
interest created by virtue of the Security Documents subject to Spanish law by the Trustee or any of the Holders it will be sufficient

notarial certificate, if necessary, for the purposes described in paragraph (iv) below, (3) the notarial document (acta
notarial) which incorporates the certificate issued by the Trustee (or the relevant Holder, as the case may be), of the amounts due

on the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph (i) above, evidencing that the determination of the amounts due and payable
by the Spanish Obligor have been calculated as agreed in this Indenture and that such amounts coincide with the balance of such accounts,
and (4) a notarial document (acta notarial) evidencing that the Spanish Obligor has been served notice of the amount that
is due and payable.

of initiating enforcement proceedings as set out in paragraph (ii) above.
(iv) Upon
enforcement, the Spanish Obligors hereby expressly authorize the Trustee (or the relevant Holder, as the case may be), to reasonably
request and obtain certificates and documents issued by the Spanish Notary Public who has formalised this Indenture as Spanish Public
Document in order to evidence its compliance with the entries of his public records (protocolo) and the relevant entry date for
the purposes of paragraphs 4th and 5th (as applicable) of article 517.2 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law. The costs of issuance of
first notarized copies (with and without enforcement title) of this Indenture (as well as any amendment hereto) shall be borne by the
Issuer. The cost regarding the issuance of any additional copies shall be borne by the party requesting such additional copies.

account shall be credited in accordance with such instructions with a beneficial interest in the Global Note and the account of the Person
making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. Transfers by

S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee
of a certification in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Notes from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being

exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act other than Rule 144, Rule 903 or Rule 904 and that,
if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the interest transferred shall be held

Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest
is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect
on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of Global Note from which such interest is being
transferred.
(iii) Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Exhibit A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred
as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee
of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of such successor depository.
(iv) In
the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in definitive registered form pursuant to Section 2.4, such Notes may be exchanged
only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification
requirements set forth on the reverse, of the Initial Notes or Additional Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A,
Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures
as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

the Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream. During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial
ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures and only (1) so long as such security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person
whom the selling holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is
given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (2) in an offshore transaction in accordance
with Regulation S, (3) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable)
under the Securities Act, or (4) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance
with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period,
transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through
the Rule 144A Global Note shall be made only in accordance with Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written
certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Notes to the effect that
such transfer is being made to a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A.
Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period.
(ii) Upon
the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable
in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this Indenture.

therefor or in substitution thereof), shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually, in arrears, on April 15 and October 15
of each year, commencing April 15, 2027, in immediately available funds. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance. Interest shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method
of Payment
The Company will pay interest
on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 1
or October 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if the Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the
interest payment date. Holders must surrender the Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal

Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”). The Company
will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered
address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder
of at least $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by the payee with a
bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent
to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other
date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).
3. Paying Agent and Registrar
Initially, GLAS Trust Company
LLC, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint
and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar.

The Company issued the Notes
under an Indenture dated as of October 5, 2026 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto
from time to time, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture
(the “TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.

The Notes are senior secured
obligations of the Company and can be issued in an initial amount of up to $2,000,000,000 and additional amounts as part of the same
series under the Indenture which are unlimited (subject to Sections 2.01 and 2.10 of the Indenture). The Indenture imposes certain
limitations on the ability of the Company to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions
in respect of their capital stock, purchase or redeem capital stock, enter into transactions with stockholders or certain affiliates,
create liens or consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. These limitations are subject to significant
exceptions.
5. Mandatory Redemption
The Company shall not be required to make any
mandatory redemption with respect to the Notes.
6. Optional Redemption
Except
as set forth herein, the Notes shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to October 15, 2028. From and after October 15,
2028, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the following redemption prices set
forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The following prices are for the Notes if redeemed during
the 12-month period commencing on October 15 of the years set forth below, and are expressed as percentages of principal amount:
Year
Redemption Price
2028
104.438 %
2029
102.219 %
2030 and thereafter
100.000 %
Prior to October 15,
2028 the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption
price of 108.875% of the principal amount thereof with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date); provided that:
(1) at
least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes remains outstanding after each such redemption (unless all the Notes
are redeemed substantially concurrently); and
(2) the
redemption occurs within 120 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.
In addition, the Company
may, at its option and on one or more occasions, redeem, at any time prior to October 15, 2028, up to 10% of the original aggregate
principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes) using net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings during any calendar
year at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding,
the redemption date. Any redemption of Notes effected pursuant to this paragraph will reduce the Company’s ability to redeem Notes
under the immediately preceding paragraph; provided that the redemption provisions under the immediately preceding paragraph and
this paragraph may be used concurrently to redeem up to an aggregate 40% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes.
A-15
In addition, at any time
and from time to time prior to October 15, 2028, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium with respect to the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, thereon to, but excluding the redemption date. Notice of such redemption must be sent to Holders of the Notes called for redemption
not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. The notice need not set forth the Applicable Premium but only the
manner of calculation of the redemption price. With respect to any such redemption, the Company will notify the Trustee of the Applicable
Premium with respect to the Notes promptly after the calculation thereof and that the Trustee will not be responsible for such calculation.
The Company may redeem the
Notes pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions in the Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect
to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provisions
will have different redemption dates and, with respect to redemptions that occur on the same date, may specify the order in which such
redemptions are deemed to occur. In addition, notice of any redemption of, or any offer to purchase, the Notes may, at the Company’s
discretion, be given in connection with an Equity Offering, other transaction (or series of related transactions) or an event that constitutes
a Change of Control and prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption or purchase may, at the Company’s
discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of the related Equity
Offering, transaction or event, as the case may be. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or
more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s
discretion, the redemption date or purchase date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice
of redemption or offer to purchase was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall
be satisfied or waived, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such
conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date or purchase date or by the redemption date or purchase date
as so delayed, or such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if the Company reasonably believes
that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice or offer that
payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or offer
to purchase may be performed by another Person.
If the optional redemption
date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest will
be paid to the Person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest
will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.
On and after the redemption
date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

to any sinking fund.
8. Notice of Redemption

not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date (except that such notice may be delivered or mailed more than 60
days prior to the redemption date or purchase date if the notice is subject to one or more conditions precedent as described therein
and such date is delayed until such time as any and all such conditions are satisfied or waived). Notice of any redemption upon any Equity
Offering may be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed
in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes

other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for
redemption.
9. Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control
Upon a Change of Control,
unless the Company has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding notes, the Company
will be required to make an offer, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to repurchase all the Notes of each Holder
at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased (or such higher amount as the Company may determine)
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase) as provided in, and subject to the
terms of, the Indenture.
10. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in

set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if

or the Guarantees may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.
15. Defaults and Remedies
If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, subject to
certain limitations, may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events
of Default and shall result in the Notes being immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such Events of Default without any
further act of the Trustee or any Holder.
Holders of Notes may not
enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes
unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power under the Indenture. The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind any declaration
of acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, and if all existing Events of
Default have been cured or waived except non-payment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration.
16. Security
The Notes will be secured
by the Collateral on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents. The Trustee and the
Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hold the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, in each case pursuant
to the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including
the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time
in accordance with their terms and the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents
on the Issue Date, and at any time after Issue Date, as applicable, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder
in accordance therewith.

Subject to certain limitations
imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company
or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
18. No Recourse Against Others
A director, officer, employee
or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture
or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives
and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

copy of the Spanish public document notarizing this Supplemental Indenture; (2) a notarial certificate, if necessary, for the purposes

EXHIBIT D
Agreed Security Principles
The parties have agreed and acknowledged that
their rights and obligations in relation to this transaction in respect of (i) the giving or taking of guarantees; (ii) the
giving or taking of security; and (iii) all the rights and obligations associated with such giving or taking of guarantees and security,
shall be subject to and limited by the agreed security principles set out in this Exhibit D (the “Agreed Security Principles”).
1 Description of security
(a) Subject
to these Agreed Security Principles, the parties agree that the overriding intention is for
security in respect of the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents only to be granted:
(i) by
each Grantor incorporated in England and Wales (A) by way of fixed charge over its shares,
certain intellectual property (as described in sub-paragraph (iii) below), receivables,
bank accounts, intercompany receivables, any hedging agreements, licenses, consents and agreements
held by it in connection with the use of its assets and goodwill and uncalled capital and
(B) by way of assignment of its material insurance policies;
(ii) by
each Grantor incorporated in Finland, Spain and Sweden over (A) shares it owns in any
entity in accordance with sub-paragraph (vi) below, (B) any intercompany receivables
and (C) bank accounts (without control over use and, in relation to Spanish, Finnish
and Swedish law governed bank account pledges, without control over use until a Declared
Default (as defined herein) occurs);
(iii) by
each Grantor incorporated in Germany over (A) shares, (B) certain bank accounts,
(C) certain intercompany receivables and (D) certain intellectual property rights;
(iv) by
each relevant Grantor incorporated in (A) England and Wales over its intellectual property
in the Odeon brand; (B) Sweden over its intellectual property in the Filmstaden brand;
(C) Germany, namely United Cinemas International Multiplex GmbH over its intellectual
property in the UCI brand; and (D) Finland over its intellectual property in the Finnkino
brand;
(v) using
commercially reasonable efforts, by each Grantor (other than in relation to any Grantor incorporated
under the laws of Germany, Spain, Sweden or Ireland) over certain rights under (i) lease
agreements and (ii) loyalty agreements (“Contracts”), provided that,
without prejudice to paragraph 2(e) below, in each case, such security is permitted
under the terms of the relevant Contract and any law or regulation applicable to the relevant
Grantor; and
(vi) over
shares in: (A) each Grantor incorporated in England and Wales (including the shares
of Odeon Cinemas Group Limited pursuant to a third party share pledge) (B) NCG Holding
AB, Filmstaden AB, United Cinemas International Multiplex GmbH, United Cinemas International
Kinoplex GmbH, Cinesa – Compañía de Iniciativas y Espectáculos,
S.A. and Finnkino Oy and (C) to the extent that Odeon and UCI Cinemas Holdings Limited
becomes an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, over shares in each intermediate
holding company of Odeon and UCI Cinemas Holdings Limited and each such intermediate holding
company shall become a Guarantor (the “Transaction Share Pledges”), and
that no other security shall be required to be given by any other person or in relation to
any other asset, save, in each case, as provided in paragraph (c) below.
D-1
(b) The
guarantees and security to be provided in respect of the Indenture, the Notes and the Security
Documents, the persons required to provide them and the assets over which they are to be
granted are those set out in Section 4.10 (Future Guarantors), Section 4.17 (After-Acquired
Collateral) and the Security Documents, in each case subject to and limited by these Agreed
Security Principles, and no other guarantee or security shall be required to be given by
any other person or in relation to any other asset, save as provided in paragraph (c) below
(the “Overriding Principle”). No guarantee or security shall be required
to be given, and no perfection or other action shall be required to be taken, in respect
of any Excluded Assets.
(c) Grantors
incorporated in England and Wales and Finland will grant a customary floating charge over
all or substantially all of their assets located in their jurisdiction of incorporation,
subject to customary carve-outs, which are required as a matter of law and/or contractual
arrangements which impose restrictions on the provision of security over certain assets,
in accordance with and subject to these Agreed Security Principles. In respect of any floating
charge provided in Finland, the relevant Grantor will deliver an original signed business
mortgage promissory note to the Finnish Patent and Registration Authority (or the Finnish
legal counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Notes Collateral Agent)
without undue delay after the security over the relevant intellectual property rights has
been registered.
2 Certain Principles
The Agreed Security Principles embody
the recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective or commercially reasonable
guarantees and security from all Approved Foreign Guarantors in which it has been agreed that guarantees and security will be granted
by those members. In particular:
(a) general
legal and statutory limitations, regulatory restrictions, financial assistance, capital maintenance,
corporate benefit, equity subordination, detrimental transactions and management insolvency
liability rules, fraudulent preference, limitations on the granting of guarantees by holding
companies, “interest stripping”, “earnings stripping”, “controlled
foreign corporation”, transfer pricing or “thin capitalisation” rules,
tax restrictions, exchange control restrictions, capital maintenance rules and, “liquidity
impairment” rules, retention of title claims and similar principles may prohibit, limit
or otherwise restrict the ability of an Approved Foreign Guarantor to provide a guarantee
or security or may require that the guarantee or security be limited by an amount or otherwise.
The Company and/or relevant security and/or guarantee provider will use commercially reasonable
efforts to assist in demonstrating that adequate corporate benefit accrues to each guarantor
providing guarantees and security. If any such limit applies, the guarantees and security
provided (or the enforceability thereof) will be subject to customary limitation language
and limited to the maximum amount which the relevant Approved Foreign Guarantor may provide
having regard to applicable law (including any jurisprudence) and the rules and principles
outlined above and subject to fiduciary and applicable legal duties of management;
D-2
(b) certain
supervisory board, works council, regulator or regulatory board (or equivalent), or another
external body’s or person’s consent, approval or advice may be required to enable
an Approved Foreign Guarantor to provide a guarantee or security. Such guarantee and/or security
shall not be required unless such consent has been received provided that commercially reasonable
efforts have been used by the relevant Approved Foreign Guarantor to obtain the relevant
consent or advice to the extent permissible by law, regulation and custom and such consent
has no material adverse impact on relationships with third parties;
(c) the
giving of a guarantee, the granting and the terms of security or the perfection of the security
granted will not be required to the extent that it would, as reasonably determined by the
Company in good faith, incur any legal fees, registration fees, notarisation and registration
fees, stamp duty, taxes (including any corporate tax applicable to any guarantee fee that
may be due under applicable transfer pricing regulations) and any other fees or costs directly
associated with such security or guarantee or limit the deductibility of interest expenses
in amounts which are disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the Holders;
(d) where
there is material incremental cost involved in creating security over all assets owned by
a Grantor in a particular category the principle stated at paragraph (c) above shall
apply and, subject to these Agreed Security Principles, only the material assets in that
category shall be subject to security;
(e) any
assets subject to a legal requirement (including any requirement to obtain consent from customers
pursuant to applicable data protection laws or regulations), contract, lease, licence, instrument,
regulatory constraint (including any agreement with any government or regulatory body) or
other third party arrangements (including shareholder agreements, joint venture agreements
and cash pool arrangements relating to bank accounts) which may prevent those assets from
being charged or assigned (or assets which, if charged or assigned, would give a third party
the right to terminate or otherwise amend any rights, benefits and/or obligations of the
Approved Foreign Guarantors in respect of those assets) will be excluded from any relevant
security document and any requirement to give security or guarantee provided that, if the
relevant asset is material and the Company determines (acting reasonably) that such efforts
will not jeopardise commercial relationships with third parties, the relevant Approved Foreign
Guarantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consent or waiver
within forty five (45) days (and commercially reasonable efforts for these purposes will
not require the payment by the relevant Approved Foreign Guarantor of any monetary consideration
to such third party, other than expenses and nominal amounts, to obtain any such consent
or waiver), provided further that if the relevant Approved Foreign Guarantor has not been
able to obtain such consent or waiver, its obligation to obtain any consent or waiver will
cease on the expiry of that forty-five (45) day period;
(f) Approved
Foreign Guarantors will not be required to give guarantees or enter into the Security Documents
if (i) it is not within the legal capacity of the relevant Approved Foreign Guarantors
to do so (ii) it results in the security document being null and void, or (iii) it
would conflict with the fiduciary and legal duties of their directors, officers or employees,
contravene any legal or regulatory prohibition, or regulatory condition or result in a risk
of personal civil or criminal liability on the part of any director, officer or employee.
Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Notes and the Security
Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent or the other Notes Secured Parties, as the case may
be, shall discharge any guarantees and release any security which is or are subject to any
legal or regulatory prohibition as is referred to in this paragraph as soon as reasonably
practicable after requested by the Company in writing;
(g) the
giving of a guarantee, the granting of security or the perfection of security granted will
not be required if it would be unduly burdensome or restrict the ability of the relevant
Approved Foreign Guarantor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course
or as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents and any
requirement under these Agreed Security Principles to seek the consent of any person or to
take or not take any other action shall be subject to this paragraph (g);
D-3
(h) it
is acknowledged that in certain jurisdictions, it may be impossible, impractical, or disproportionately
costly to create guarantees or security over certain categories of assets, in which event
guarantees or security will not be taken over such assets;
(i) the
security will be first ranking, to the extent possible, subject to any non-consensual liens
and other liens mandatorily preferred by any applicable law and permitted under the Indenture,
the Notes and the Security Documents;
(j) information,
such as lists of assets (including, without limitation, receivables), will be provided if,
and only to the extent, required by local law to be provided to perfect or register the relevant
security interests and when required, unless required to be provided by local law more frequently,
will be provided annually or, following an Event of Default which is continuing;
(k) the
maximum guaranteed or secured amount may be limited to minimise stamp duty, notarisation,
registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the benefit of increasing the
guaranteed or secured amount is disproportionate to the level of such fees, taxes and duties
(and, in any event, the maximum aggregate amount payable by the Approved Foreign Guarantors
in respect of fees, costs, expenses, disbursements and VAT relating to the provision of guarantees
and security shall be limited to an amount determined by the Company in good faith);
(l) no
perfection action will be required in jurisdictions where Grantors are not incorporated but
perfection action may be required in respect of any share security in the jurisdiction of
incorporation of the entity whose shares are being charged;
(m) all
security (other than share security, which shall in each case be subject in all respects
to paragraph 7 below) shall be governed by the law of and secure assets located in the jurisdiction
of incorporation of the Grantor;
(n) subject
to paragraph 4(c) below, the Notes Collateral Agent will hold one set of security interests
for the Secured Notes Obligations (as defined in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement)
to the extent reasonably practicable taking into account local law considerations;
(o) no
guarantee or security will be required from or over ownership interests in, or over the assets
of, (i) any entity not incorporated in an Approved Foreign Jurisdiction or (ii) any
joint venture or similar arrangement or any company in which an Approved Foreign Guarantor
owns a minority interest;
(p) security
shall not be created to the extent that it would result in a Holder becoming subject to German
non-resident tax liability as regards interest payable under any Note and/or trigger a German
withholding tax deduction (including any withholding tax deduction upon issuance of an administrative
order by the competent German tax authorities), unless in each case such taxes are for the
account of the relevant Holder and are not subject to any indemnification or gross- up obligation
by any Grantor;
(q) Approved
Foreign Guarantors will not be required to give guarantees or enter into security documents
if they are not wholly owned by another member or members of the Odeon Group and no Approved
Foreign Guarantor will be required to grant security over shares in any entity which is not
wholly-owned by members of the Odeon Group;
D-4
(r) no
Approved Foreign Guarantor that is subject to a license under any law or regulation that
would prohibit or materially restrict the granting of security or giving of guarantees shall
be required to grant any security or give any guarantees, provided that commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain consent or waivers from any relevant party shall be used by the relevant
Approved Foreign Guarantor if, in the view of the Company (acting reasonably), granting such
security or giving such guarantee will have no material adverse impact on relationships with
third parties or otherwise force the relevant Approved Foreign Guarantor to incur any material
cost; and
(s) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or any other security document, (x) no Subsidiary organized
under the laws of an Approved Foreign Jurisdiction (including, in each case, their successors)
shall be considered a CFC or FSHCO or be subject to any Section 956 Limitations, and
(y) neither the Company, any Guarantor nor any of their Subsidiaries shall undertake
a restructuring, change in tax status or other similar transaction with the substantial intent
to have any Subsidiary organized under the laws of an Approved Foreign Jurisdiction (including,
any such Subsidiary’s assets or its outstanding stock) released by reason of any Section 956
Limitations.
3 Terms of Guarantee and Security
Documents
The following principles will be reflected
in the terms of any guarantee and/or security taken as part of this transaction:
(a) security
will not be enforceable or crystallise until the Notes have been declared, or have otherwise
become, due and payable in accordance with Section 6.02 of the Indenture (a “Declared
Default”);
(b) subject
to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, no claims will be made under guarantees, and security
will not be enforceable, until the occurrence of a Declared Default;
(c) no
notices or acknowledgements of pledges or security interests will be required to be delivered
to third parties (including account banks, counterparties to contracts, insurers and licensors
of intellectual property) until the occurrence of a Declared Default, except (i) where
the delivery of such notice is required under applicable local law in order to create or
perfect the relevant security and such notice continues to permit the relevant Approved Foreign
Guarantor to deal freely with the relevant asset (provided that, in the case of any receivables
arising under lease agreements pledged under a security document governed by Finnish law,
no notice of such pledge shall be required to be delivered until the occurrence of a Declared
Default), (ii) except as set out under paragraph (i) above in respect of Finnish
lease receivables, in the case of any intercompany or other receivables pledged or assigned
under a security document governed by Spanish, German, Finnish or Swedish law (and, in the
case of any Spanish and/or German law governed security over intercompany receivables, notice
will always be given promptly after execution of the relevant security document) and (iii) in
the case of any bank accounts pledged under a security document governed by German, Spanish,
Finnish and Swedish law, notice will always be given promptly after execution of the relevant
Security Document or in accordance with paragraph 5(c) below;
(d) each
security document (other than security documents which are required to be notarized in order
to be valid and/or enforceable and may not consequently contain such a provision) will, to
the extent legally possible under the law of the relevant jurisdiction, contain a clause
which records that if there is a conflict between the security document and the applicable
Intercreditor Agreement then (to the extent permitted by law) the provisions of the applicable
Intercreditor Agreement shall take priority over the provisions of the security document;
D-5
(e) the
Notes Collateral Agent will not have any rights to vote any of the shares held by the Approved
Foreign Guarantors which are pledged to them or to block any funds being transferred between
Approved Foreign Guarantors in accordance with the Indenture, the Notes and the Security
Documents, prior to the date on which a Declared Default has occurred;
(f) the
security documents will not be unduly burdensome on the Grantor or interfere unreasonably
with the operation of its business and should only operate to create, perfect or to ensure
the enforceability of security rather than to impose new commercial obligations;
(g) in
the Security Documents there will be no repetition or extension of clauses set out in the
Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents such as those relating to notices, access,
cost and expenses, indemnities, tax gross up, distribution of proceeds and release of security;
representations and undertakings shall be included in the security documents only to the
extent relating to title or required by local law in order to create or perfect or ensure
the priority of the security interest expressed to be created thereby (to the extent perfection
is required by these Agreed Security Principles) (including customary provisions relating
to the creation or perfection of security over the relevant class of assets);
(h) representations
in any Security Document shall be given only on the date on which such security document
is executed and shall not otherwise repeat;
(i) the
Notes Collateral Agent shall only be able to exercise any power of attorney granted to it
under the Security Documents following the occurrence of a Declared Default;
(j) the
Security Documents should not operate so as to prevent transactions which are permitted under
the Indenture, the Notes and the other Security Documents or to require additional consents
or authorisations;
(k) where
a Grantor is free to dispose of an asset forming part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms
of the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent shall
release such asset upon request by the Company and receipt of the deliverables required by
the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents and will be entitled to do so without
the consent of any Holder (unless required by the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents);
(l) the
Security Documents will not accrue interest on any amount in respect of which interest is
accruing under the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents;
(m) any
rights of set off will not be exercisable until the occurrence of a Declared Default. Such
rights shall apply only to reciprocal matured obligations due and payable to any Holder by
a Grantor under the Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents;
(n) the
security documents will, where possible and practical, automatically create security over
future assets of the same type as those already secured; where local law requires supplemental
pledges to be delivered in respect of future acquired assets in order for effective security
to be created over that class of asset, such supplemental pledges shall be provided at intervals
no more frequently than annually (unless required more frequently under local law), or, in
each case, following a Declared Default;
(o) no
security will be taken over livestock, moveable plant, equipment or vehicles if it would
require labelling, segregation, periodic listing, notification, mapping or specification
of such livestock, moveable plant, equipment or vehicles prior to a Declared Default, unless

and

4 Guarantees/Security
(a) Subject
to the due execution of all relevant security documents, completion of relevant perfection
formalities within statutorily prescribed time limits, payment of all registration fees and
documentary taxes, any other rights arising by operation of law and subject to any guarantee
limitation and qualifications which may be set out in the Indenture, the Notes and the Security
Documents and subject to the requirements of the Agreed Security Principles and any third
party arrangements, including in paragraph 4(b) below, it is further acknowledged that
the Notes Collateral Agent (or, in the case of any Security Document governed by Finnish,
Spanish or Swedish law, the relevant Notes Secured Parties represented by the Notes Collateral
Agent) shall receive the benefit of an upstream, cross stream and downstream guarantee and
the security will be granted to secure all liabilities of the Grantors under the Indenture,
the Notes and the Security Documents subject to the Agreed Security Principles.
(b) The
maximum guaranteed or secured amount provided by an Approved Foreign Guarantor may be limited
to comply with any law or regulation in such member’s jurisdiction of incorporation,
including laws relating to “corporate benefit” or insolvency directors liability
as may be required by management to comply with its duties (fiduciary or otherwise).
(c) To
the extent legally effective, all security shall be given in favour of the Notes Collateral
Agent (acting on behalf and/or as representative of the Notes Secured Parties) and not any
Notes Secured Party individually except in the case of any security document governed by
Spanish law where security shall be given in favor of the relevant Notes Secured Parties
represented by the Notes Collateral Agent. “Parallel debt” provisions will be
used where necessary (except with respect to any Security Documents governed by Spanish,
Swedish or Finnish law under which the Notes Collateral Agent will act in the name and on
behalf of the Notes Secured Parties) and such provisions will be contained in the applicable
Intercreditor Agreement and not the individual Security Documents unless required under local
laws.
(d) There
shall be no action required to be taken by any Grantor in relation to the guarantees or security
when a Notes Secured Party makes any transfer, unless required by law (and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, no Approved Foreign Guarantor shall bear or otherwise be liable
for any transfer taxes, any notarial, registration or perfection fees or any other costs,
fees or expenses that result from any assignment or transfer following the initial issuance
of the Notes, provided that this paragraph (d) shall be without prejudice to Section 2.14
(Additional Amounts) of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is stated that no
Approved Foreign Guarantor shall bear any costs related with the notarisation of any assignment
or transfer done by any Holder under the Indenture or the Notes (if any).
(e) Security
Documents governed by Spanish law shall be notarized before a Spanish public notary together
with the relevant Security Documents, any supplemental indenture providing for a Subsidiary
Guarantee (as applicable) to be entered into by a Spanish Grantor.
D-7
5 Bank Accounts
(a) If
a Grantor grants security over its bank accounts it shall be free to deal with, close, operate
and transact business in relation to those accounts (including, subject to paragraph 3(n) above,
opening and closing accounts) in the course of its business until the occurrence of a Declared
Default and, in particular, will not be obliged to maintain a minimum (or positive) balance
in the relevant bank account at all times (other than the bank accounts pledged under the
Spanish security documents), and the Notes Secured Parties will have no control over the
use of those accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no obligation to hold or
pay cash or receivables in a particular account until the occurrence of a Declared Default
(and security over any Swedish bank account will not be perfected until a Declared Default
occurs); if any such account is closed, the security over it will be released.
(b) Prior
to the occurrence of a Declared Default, no notice (and/or acknowledgement) of security (except
for pledges over the bank accounts located in Germany and Spain) may be prepared or served
if this would have a detrimental effect on the Grantor’s ability to carry out its ordinary
course business operations. In the case of any bank accounts pledged under a Security Document
governed by Spanish law, notice will always be given promptly after execution of the relevant
Security Document;
(c) Subject
to paragraphs (a) and (b) above, any notification of security over bank accounts
will be given to the bank(s) with whom the accounts are maintained within five (5) Business
Days following execution and/or notarization of the relevant Security Document. However,
in the case of any bank accounts pledged under a Security Document governed by Spanish, Finnish
and Swedish law, notice will always be given promptly after execution of the relevant Security
Document. If required under local law to perfect the security over bank accounts, the relevant
Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a maximum period of 20 Business Days
from the date of the notice to such bank to obtain an acknowledgment of the notice from the
account bank.
(d) Any
security over bank accounts shall be subject to any security interests and any other rights
(including but not limited to set off rights) in favour of the account bank which are created
either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank (from time to time).
The notice of security shall request such prior security interests in favour of the account
bank to be limited or waived by the account bank but neither the Grantor nor the account
bank shall be required to change its banking arrangements or standard terms and conditions
in connection with the granting of bank account security. There will be no requirement to
obtain any acknowledgements and/or consents from the relevant account bank.
(e) Prior
to the occurrence of a Declared Default, any Grantor shall be free to close any bank account
at any time without any prior consent or notification requirement. If so closed, the security
over such bank account shall be released.
(f) If
required under local law, security over bank accounts will be registered subject to the general
principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.
(g) Bank
account pledges governed by Spanish law shall be notarised before a Spanish notary.
D-8
6 Intercompany Receivables
(a) Without
prejudice to the Overriding Principle, if a Grantor grants security over its intercompany
receivables, it shall be free to deal with those receivables in the course of its business
or as otherwise permitted under the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents until
the occurrence of a Declared Default.
(b) No
notice of security shall be prepared or served until the occurrence of a Declared Default
(except in relation to any receivables pledged under a Security Document governed by Finnish,
Spanish, German or Swedish law, however subject in all cases to the principle set out in
paragraph (a) above). In relation to any receivables pledged under a Security Document
governed by Finnish law, the relevant debtors which have already been notified of the pledges
shall only be served a subsequent notice upon the occurrence of a Declared Default.
(c) Subject
to local law requirements, the execution by a debtor of a Security Document to which the
creditor is a party (or, the execution of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement by a debtor
to the extent the debtor and creditor relating to the intercompany receivables are a party
thereto) shall be deemed to be sufficient notification of the security created under the
Security Documents to the relevant debtors provided that (i) a specific acknowledgement
provision is included therein; and (ii) a German law governed security over intercompany
receivables shall always be separately notified promptly (unverzüglich) after
the execution of the relevant Security Document.
(d) If
required under local law, security over intercompany receivables will be registered subject
to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.
(e) No
list of receivables shall be required (except, in each case in relation to any receivables
pledged under a Security Document governed by Finnish, Spanish or Swedish law) until a Declared
Default has occurred.
(f) Receivables
pledges governed by Spanish law shall be notarised before a Spanish notary.
7 Shares
(a) Security
will be granted over shares in each Grantor, in accordance with and subject to these Agreed
Security Principles. The shares held by a Grantor in an Approved Foreign Guarantor that is
not a Grantor shall not be required to be the subject of security.
(b) The
relevant security document will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation
of the Grantor whose shares are subject to security, and not by the law of the jurisdiction
of incorporation of the entity granting the security.
(c) Where
required for creation or perfection of security purposes by local law (and in relation to
any shares pledged under a Security Document governed by English, Finnish, Spanish and/or
Swedish law, on or promptly), following execution of the share charge, any existing share
certificate(s) (or any other document evidencing title to the relevant shares) and a
stock transfer form executed in blank (if applicable) will be provided to the Notes Collateral
Agent and, where required by law, the ownership titles of the pledged shares, the share certificate
and/or shareholders’ register will be endorsed or written up and the endorsed share
certificate or a copy of the written up register provided to the Notes Collateral Agent (or
its agent or designee). If no share certificates have been issued in relation to the shares
of a Finnish entity, such entity will not be required under the terms of the Security Documents
to issue share certificates, however, a notice of pledge shall be served on the entity by
the pledgor.
(d) Unless
a Declared Default has occurred, the pledgors shall be permitted to retain and to exercise
voting rights and powers in relation to any shares and other related rights attaching to
any shares pledged by them in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or enforceability
of the security or cause an Event of Default to occur and the pledgors shall be permitted
to receive and retain dividends on pledged shares and the company whose shares have been
charged will be permitted to pay dividends upstream on pledged shares to the extent permitted
under the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents with the proceeds to be available
to the Approved Foreign Guarantors. The voting rights and powers in relation to any shares
and other related rights (including, without limitation, economic rights) shall remain with
the pledgors at all times prior to the occurrence of a Declared Default, provided that
with respect to Security over shares in an entity incorporated in Germany, the voting
rights remain with the pledgor at all times.
D-9
(e) If
required by law or regulation to perfect or enforce the security, the constitutional documents
of the company whose shares have been pledged shall be amended to remove any restriction
on the transfer or the registration of the transfer of the shares on the taking or enforcement
of the security granted over them and shall not contain any provision in respect of redemption
of its shares (Einziehung in Germany); restrictions on the assignability and pledgeability
of distribution rights (Gewinnbezugsrechte in Germany).
(f) Any
share pledge shall include therein, to the extent applicable, references to any financial
collateral regulations applicable in the relevant jurisdiction (including, in the case of
a pledge granted over the shares of any Spanish Grantor, to the Spanish Royal Decree-law
5/2005, of 11 March on financial collateral, provided the pledgees are eligible to benefit
of that security) and, particularly, to the sale and appropriate enforcement mechanism envisaged
therein.
(g) Share
pledges over an Approved Foreign Guarantor incorporated in Spain or Germany as a GmbH shall
be notarized by a Spanish or German notary, respectively.
8 Insurance Policies
Without prejudice to the Overriding
Principle, if a Grantor grants security over its material insurance policies which may be secured under the terms of the relevant policy:
(a) insurance
claims will be collected by the Grantor in the ordinary course of business until the occurrence
of a Declared Default;
(b) notice
of any security interest over insurance policies will only be served on an insurer of an
Approved Foreign Guarantor’s assets upon written request of the Notes Collateral Agent,
which may only be given after the occurrence of a Declared Default;
(c) prior
to a Declared Default, no loss payee or other annotation or endorsement shall be made on
the insurance policy and no Holder shall be named as co-insured; and
(d) no
security will be granted with respect to insurance policies in respect of which the principal
beneficiary is someone other than an Approved Foreign Guarantor.
9 Intellectual Property
Without prejudice to the Overriding
Principle, if a Grantor grants security over its intellectual property:
(a) it
shall be free to deal with, use and licence and otherwise commercialise those assets in the
course of its business (including, without limitation, allowing its intellectual property
to lapse if no longer material to its business or as otherwise permitted by the Indenture,
the Notes and the Security Documents) or as otherwise permitted by the terms of the Indenture,
the Notes and the Security Documents until the occurrence of a Declared Default;
(b) no
security shall be granted over any intellectual property which cannot be secured under the
terms of the relevant licensing agreement. No notice shall be served to any third party from
whom intellectual property is licensed until the occurrence of a Declared Default;

from whom intellectual property is licensed upon written request of the Notes Collateral

to be registered under the law of that security document, subject to the general principles
set out in these Agreed Security Principles; and
(e) security
over intellectual property rights will be taken on an “as is, where is” basis
and the Approved Foreign Guarantors will not be required to procure any changes to, or corrections
of filings on, external registers.
10 Trade Receivables
Without prejudice to the Overriding
Principle, if a Grantor grants security over its material trade receivables:
(a) it
shall be free to deal with those receivables in the course of its business or as otherwise
permitted under the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents until the occurrence
of a Declared Default;

notice of security may be served until the occurrence of a Declared Default;
(c) no
security will be granted over any trade receivables which cannot be secured under the terms
of the relevant contract; and
(d) trade
receivables that are permitted to be sold or discounted (“qualified receivables financings”)
shall not be pledged or secured, to the extent such financing is permitted under the Indenture,
the Notes and the Security Documents. To the extent any property or assets (including trade
receivables) are required to be released from the security in connection with or pursuant
to such a “qualified receivables financing”, such property or assets shall be
released automatically, if possible under the relevant law, or otherwise, at the request
(and cost) of the relevant Grantor.
11 Contracts
Without prejudice to the Overriding
Principle, if a Grantor grants security over its Contracts,
(a) it
shall be free to deal with those Contracts in the course of its business or as otherwise
permitted under the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents until the occurrence
of a Declared Default;

perfection of security over Contracts shall be required and no notice of security may be
served until the occurrence of a Declared Default; and
(c) no
security will be granted over any Contract which, without prejudice to paragraph 2(e) above,

detrimental impact on the Grantor’s business relationship with the counterparty to
the Contract.
D-11

or environmental due diligence.

Unless required by local law, the circumstances
in which the security shall be released shall not be dealt with in individual Security Documents but, if so required, shall, except to
the extent required by local law, be the same as, or not conflict with, those set out in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or Indenture.

Section 1.07 Limited
Condition Transactions. In connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction,
for purposes of:
(i) determining
compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio;
(ii) determining
the accuracy of representations and warranties and/or whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or
any subset of Defaults or Events of Default) (other than for purposes of satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(a) and (b)); or
(iii) testing
availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated
Total Assets);
in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the
Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”),
with such option to be exercised on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreements related to such Limited Condition
Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive
agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving
Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including
any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent
Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance
with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
For the avoidance of doubt,
if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT
Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA
of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction
or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; however, if any ratios improve
or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Borrower has made an LCT
Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of the incurrence ratios subject to
the LCT Election on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition
Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated
or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma
basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness
or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Loans may not be re-borrowed.
Section 2.02 Loans
and Borrowings.
(a) Each
Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance
with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and
no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required hereby.
(b) Subject
to Section 2.14, Term Loan Borrowing denominated in dollars shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Loans
as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch
or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) At
the commencement of each Interest Period for any SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple
of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that a SOFR Borrowing that results from a continuation
of an outstanding SOFR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing. At the time that each ABR
Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less
than the Borrowing Minimum. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided
that there shall not at any time be more than a total of twenty Interest Periods in the aggregate for all Loans.
(d) Upon
the effectiveness of this Agreement, interest shall begin to accrue on the full amount thereof as of such date. Once repaid, the Term
Loans may not be reborrowed.
Section 2.03 Requests
for Borrowings. To request a Term Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request, which notice
may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Borrowing Request; provided that any telephone notice must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Request. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent
(a) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business
Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (provided that in respect of Term Loan
Borrowing to be made on the Effective Date, such Term Loan Borrowing may be conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions) and
shall be delivered by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission (or, if requested by telephone, promptly confirmed in
writing by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) to the Administrative Agent and shall be signed by the Borrower.
Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:
(i) the
Class of such Borrowing;
70
(ii) the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(iii) the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iv) whether
such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing;
(v) in
the case of a SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition

(vi) the
location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06;

Section 4.02(b) are satisfied.
If no election as to the
Type of Borrowing is specified as to any Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is
specified with respect to any requested SOFR Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part
of the requested Borrowing.
Section 2.04 [Reserved].
Section 2.05 [Reserved].
Section 2.06 Funding
of Borrowings.
(a) Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in
dollars by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the Applicable Account of the Administrative Agent most-recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts
so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(b) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may,
in reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a
Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such
corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower,
and the Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall
also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in
the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be its cost
of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
71
(c) Obligations
of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required
hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.
Section 2.07 Interest
Elections.
(a) Each
Term Loan Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03
and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03.
Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect
to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding
the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b) To
make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (or, at the
option of the Borrower, in writing) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if
the Borrower was requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each
such request may be given by (1) telephone or (2) an Interest Election Request.
(c) Each
such request shall be irrevocable and each telephonic request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic
transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
(d) Each
telephonic request and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03:
(i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to
clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and
(iv) if
the resulting Borrowing is to be a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election,
which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
If any such Interest Election Request requests
a SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.
(e) Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender
of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(f) If
the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Section 2.08 Termination
and Reduction of Commitments.
(a) [Reserved].
(b) The
Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that each reduction
of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.
(c) The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of
this Section at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and
the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
Section 2.09 Repayment
of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10.
(b) Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender
from time to time hereunder.
(c) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and
Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become
due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure
of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between
the entries made pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, the accounts maintained
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall control.
(e) Any
Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested
by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form provided by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Borrower.
Section 2.10 Amortization
of Term Loans.
(a) Subject
to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay Term Loan
Borrowings on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing on March 31, 2027) in the
principal amount of Term Loans equal to (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans as of the Effective Date multiplied
by (ii) 0.25%.
73
(b) To
the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(c) Any
prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing of any Class (x) pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) shall be applied
to reduce the subsequent scheduled and outstanding repayments of the Term Loan Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to
this Section as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction in direct order of maturity) and (y) pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or
Section 2.11(d) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled and outstanding repayments of the Term
Loan Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section or, except as otherwise provided in any Refinancing Amendment
or Loan Modification Offer, pursuant to the corresponding section of such Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Offer, as applicable,
in direct order of maturity.
(d) Prior
to any repayment of any Term Loan Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the
applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing or by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery,
facsimile or other electronic transmission) of such election not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, (x) in the case
of SOFR Loans, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment and (y) in the
case of ABR Loans, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described
in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation,
to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the
Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.
Section 2.11 Prepayment
of Loans.
(a) (i) The
Borrower shall have the right (and no Lender may decline to receive) at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole
or in part, without premium or penalty (subject to the immediately succeeding proviso); provided that, solely with respect to a prepayment
of the Term Loans on or prior to the twelve month anniversary of the Effective Date pursuant to (x) a voluntary prepayment under
this Section 2.11(a)(i) or (y) a mandatory prepayment as a result of clause (b) of the definition
of “Prepayment Event”, in each case, whether the relevant prepayment or refinancing, as applicable, occurs before or after
an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.01(h) or (i) or an acceleration of the Term Loans (including any
mandatory assignments in accordance with Section 9.02(c)), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Term Loans prepaid.
For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment premium shall be payable hereunder in connection with any prepayment or refinancing of any
Loan (whether the relevant prepayment or refinancing, as applicable, occurs before or after an Event of Default pursuant to Sections
7.01(h) or (i) or an acceleration of the Loans) on or after the twelve-month anniversary of the Effective Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
may prepay the outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:
(A) The
Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans in cash at a discount to par (such prepayment, the “Discounted
Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to the Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount
Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.11(a)(ii);
provided that (x) the Borrower shall not make any Borrowing of Revolving Loans to fund any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment
and (y) the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) in order to make a
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment with respect to any Class unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed
since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment with respect to such Class as a result of a prepayment
made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall
have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan and/or
Other Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of
Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers.
74
(B) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term
Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment
Notice; provided that
(I) any
such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any
Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis,
(II) any
such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”)
with respect to each applicable tranche, the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount
to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified
Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an
event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
(III) the
Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess
thereof and
(IV) each
such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date.
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response
to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Specified
Discount Prepayment Response Date”).
(2) Each
relevant Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response
Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then outstanding Term Loans at the Specified Discount and,
if so (such accepting Term Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the tranches of
such Term Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a
Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received
by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the Borrower Offer
of Specified Discount Prepayment.
(3) If
there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and
tranches of Term Loans specified in such Term Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2);
provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro-rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender
and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable
discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly,
and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify:
(I) the
Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal
amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid,
75
(II) each
Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid
at the Specified Discount on such date and
(III) each
Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, tranche and
Type of Loans of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(C) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment
Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice;
provided that
(I) any
such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any
Class of Loans on an individual tranche basis,
(II) any
such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment
Amount”), the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts
to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant tranche
of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by the Borrower (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment
Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate
offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
(III) the
Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess
thereof and
76
(IV) each
such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date.
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be
submitted by a responding relevant Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Discount Range
Prepayment Response Date”). Each relevant Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and
shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is
willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable tranche or tranches and the maximum aggregate
principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender
is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction
Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of
any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.
(2) The
Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole
reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C).
The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction
Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to
the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount
to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred
to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender
that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable
Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required
proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating
Lender”).
(3) If
there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender
in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable
Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than
the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for
those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified
Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro-rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted
Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding
requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range
Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date, notify:
(I) the
Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable
Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid,
77
(II) each
Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and tranches of
Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date,
(III) each
Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such
date, and
(IV) if
applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(D) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Notice; provided that
(I) any
such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any
Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis,
(II) any
such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate dollar amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”)
and the tranche or tranches of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer
will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
(III) the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess
thereof and
(IV) each
such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City
time on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable,
(y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”)
at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount
and tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered
Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.
78
(2) The
Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the
largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that
is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered
Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event
later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”),
the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction
Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(3) Based
upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted
Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding
requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans
(the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance
with this Section 2.11(a)(ii)(D)). If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees
to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date,
in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender
that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount
shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata
reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”).
The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in
the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the
Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is
greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount
of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified
Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount
of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements
of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”).
On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify:
(I) the
Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment
and the tranches to be prepaid,
79
(II) each
Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and
the tranches to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date,
(III) each
Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on
such date, and
(IV) if
applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(E) In
connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may
require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrower in connection
therewith.
(F) If
any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D) above, the Borrower shall
prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Auction Agent, for
the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant tranche of Term Loans
on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the
par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding
Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders,
Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant
Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of Term Loans
prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
(G) To
the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent
with the provisions in this Section 2.11(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion
and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.
80
(H) Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), each notice or other communication
required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon the Auction
Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided
that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening
of business on the next Business Day.
(I) Each
of the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this
Section 2.11(a)(ii) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such
delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory
provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection
with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.11(a)(ii) as well as activities of
the Auction Agent.
(J) The
Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted
Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and
if such offer is revoked pursuant to this subclause (J), any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Term Lender,
as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under
Section 7.01 or otherwise).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the
provisions of this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall permit any transaction permitted by such section to be conducted
on a Class by Class basis and on a non-pro rata basis across Classes (but not within a single Class), in each case, as selected
by the Borrower.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) In
the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect
of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received (or, in the case of a Prepayment
Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” on the date of
such Prepayment Event), prepay Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds; provided
that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”,
if the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries invest (or commit to invest) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within
360 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds in the business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including any acquisitions or
other Investment permitted under Section 6.04), then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of such Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the applicable portion of such Net Proceeds, if applicable) except to the extent
of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested) by the end of such 360 day period (or
if committed to be so invested within such 360 day period, have not been so invested within 540 days after receipt thereof), at which
time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested);
provided, further, that the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Proceeds to prepay or repurchase any other
Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Borrowings to the extent such other Indebtedness and the
Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or
repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount
of such Net Proceeds and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness
and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other Indebtedness.
81
(d) Following
the end of each fiscal year of AMC, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, the Borrower shall prepay Term Loan
Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year; provided that (A) at
the Borrower’s option, such amount shall be reduced by the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of prepayments of (x) Term
Loans (and, to the extent the Revolving Commitments are reduced in a corresponding amount pursuant to Section 2.08,
Revolving Loans) made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior
to the time such prepayment is due as provided below (provided that such reduction as a result of prepayments pursuant
to Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be limited to the actual amount of such cash prepayment)) and (y) other
Consolidated First Lien Debt (provided that in the case of the prepayment of any revolving commitments, there is a corresponding
reduction in commitments), excluding, in each case, all such prepayments funded with the proceeds of other long-term Indebtedness or
the issuance of Equity Interests and (ii) the ECF Deductions with respect to such fiscal year and (B) no prepayment shall
be required under this Section 2.11(d) unless the amount thereof (after giving effect to the foregoing clause
(A)) would equal or exceed $50,000,000 for the most recently ended Test Period. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall
be made on or before the date that is ten Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated.
(e) Prior
to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid
and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section (including
in the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loan Borrowings made at a time when Term Loan Borrowings of more than one Class remain
outstanding, which shall be applied pro rata across each Class); provided, that any Term Lender (and, to the extent provided
in the Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Offer for any Borrowing of Other Term Loans, any Lender that holds Other Term Loans
of the Borrower) may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic
transmission) at least one Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans
or Other Term Loans of any such Borrowing pursuant to this Section (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of
this Section or a mandatory prepayment as a result of the Prepayment Event set forth in clause (b) of the definition
thereof, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Term
Loans or Other Term Loans of any such Borrowing but was so declined shall first be applied to any mandatory prepayments then required
under Section 2.11 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement (or the equivalent provision in any agreement governing any Permitted Second
Priority Refinancing Debt); provided that in the event the lenders under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (or the
holders of any Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt, as the case may be) elect to decline such amount in accordance with the terms
of the Second Lien Credit Agreement (or the agreement governing any Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt, as the case may be),
the remaining amount thereof may be retained by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (such amounts, “Retained Declined Proceeds”).
Optional and mandatory prepayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall be allocated among the Classes of Term Loan Borrowings as directed by
the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding provisions of this paragraph of the Type
of Borrowing of any Class, the Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation,
to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16.
(f) The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any prepayment hereunder by telephone or delivering a Notice of Loan Prepayment; provided
that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, such notice must be received (i) in the case of prepayment of a SOFR
Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of prepayment
or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before
the date of prepayment; provided, further, that each telephonic notice shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Loan Prepayment signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each
Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount
of such prepayment; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness
of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable
event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount
that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except
as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to
the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
82
(g) Notwithstanding
any other provisions of Section 2.11(c) or (d),
(A) to
the extent that (x) any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in clause (a) of the definition
thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign
Prepayment Event”) or (y) any prepayment of Excess Cash Flow by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment
pursuant to Section 2.11(d) are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the
Borrower, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at
the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained
by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to
the Borrower (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required
by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or
Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated
Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied
(net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or
(d), as applicable, and
(B) to
the extent that and for so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any
Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow by a Foreign Subsidiary would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account
any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess
Cash Flow, the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided
in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when the Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net
Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account
any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess
Cash Flow, such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation)
applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or
(d), as applicable.
(h) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if, at the time that any prepayment would be required under Section 2.11(c) (solely
with respect to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event) or 2.11(d) or (e), the Borrower or any Subsidiary is
required to repay or repurchase any other Indebtedness (or offer to repay or repurchase such Indebtedness) that is secured on a pari
passu basis with any Secured Obligation pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the proceeds of such
Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash Flow (such Indebtedness required to be so repaid or repurchased (or offered to be repaid
or repurchased), the “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the relevant Person may apply the proceeds of such
Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash Flow on a pro rata (or less than pro rata) basis to the prepayment, repurchase or repayment
of the Other Applicable Indebtedness (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Other Applicable Indebtedness
(or accreted amount if such Other Applicable Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount) at such time); it being understood
that
83
(1) the
portion of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash Flow allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall
not exceed the amount of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash Flow required to be allocated to the Other
Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof (and the remaining amount, if any, of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment
Event or such Excess Cash Flow shall be allocated in accordance with the terms hereof), and the amount of the prepayment, repurchase
or repayment of the Other Applicable Indebtedness that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.11
shall be reduced accordingly and
(2) to
the extent the holders of the Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid, repaid or repurchased, the declined
amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied in accordance with the
terms hereof (without giving effect to this Section 2.11(h)).
Section 2.12 Fees
and Certain Other Payments.
(a) All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution.
Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
(b) The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an agency fee payable in the amount and at the times separately
agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Agent Fee Letter.
(c) [Reserved].
Section 2.13 Interest.
(a) The
Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) The
Loans comprising each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
the Applicable Rate.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, all
outstanding principal amounts of each Loan and any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder that is not paid when due shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount (including
overdue interest), 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section (including,
without limitation, for the purposes of Article 317 of the Spanish Commercial Code).
(d) Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or
prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) Any
interest accruing under Section 2.13(c) shall be also considered as procedural default interest (interés
de mora procesal) for the purposes of Article 576.1 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law (or such other similar provision as may
replace it in the future).
(f) All
computations of interest for ABR Loans (including ABR Loans determined by reference to the Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the
basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on
the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan,
or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on
the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.18, bear interest for one day. Each determination by
the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
84
Section 2.14 Inability
to Determine Rates; Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a) Inability
to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 2.14(b) if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for
a Borrowing of SOFR Loans:
(i) the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR”
cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or
(ii) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders in writing that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan
or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan;
then, in each case,
the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter.
Upon notice thereof by the Administrative
Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert
ABR Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative
Agent (with respect to clause (ii) above, at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.
Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to
have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any
outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon
any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required
pursuant to Section 2.16. Subject to Section 2.14(b) below, if the Administrative Agent
determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be
determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Administrative
Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the Administrative
Agent revokes such determination.
(b) Benchmark
Replacement Setting.
(i) Benchmark
Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement
is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such
Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document
in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any
other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of
the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such
Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without
any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required
Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
85
(ii) Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement,
the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(iii) Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration,
adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, (C) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to
Section 2.14(b)(iv) and (D) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any
determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders)
pursuant to this Section 2.14(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except,
in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14(b).
(iv) Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor
for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by
the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark
has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative,
then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for
any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (y) if a tenor that was
removed pursuant to clause (x) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service
for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will
no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition
of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v) Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period (until
the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist), (i) the
Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during
any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request
for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans and (ii) any outstanding SOFR Loans will be deemed to have converted to ABR Loans
at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current
Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for
such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.
86
Section 2.15 Increased
Costs.
(a) If
any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or
(ii) impose
on any Lender or the applicable market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement
or SOFR Loans made by such Lender therein; or
(iii) subject
any Lender to any Taxes on its Loans, letters of credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the actual cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such
Loan) or to increase the actual cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered,
provided that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules,
guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Basel
III after the Effective Date, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to
the extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers under the other syndicated credit facilities that such
Lender is a lender under. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) will not apply to (A) Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes.
(b) If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company
with respect to liquidity or capital adequacy), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually
suffered.
(c) A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company in reasonable
detail, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered
to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s
right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16 Break
Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date
specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and
is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c),
then, in any such event, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request
shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the actual loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.16,
each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each SOFR Loan made by it at Adjusted Term SOFR (determined without giving effect to any interest
rate “floor”) for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing for a comparable amount and for a comparable period,
whether or not such SOFR Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender
is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt of such demand. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply to losses, costs or expenses resulting from Taxes, as to which Section 2.17
shall govern.
87
Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements
of Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such withholdings
or deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax,
the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made
(including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) a Lender (or, in the case
of a payment received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(b) Without
limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with Requirements of Law.
(c) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
(d) Each
Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative
Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the
maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable
or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender
under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to
the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e) As
soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt or certificate issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.
88
(f) Each
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (i) as will permit any payments to such Lender to be made without, or at
a reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse of time or change in circumstances
renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
Without limiting the foregoing:
(1) Each
Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.
(2) Each
Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time
to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms)
claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(B) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
(C) in
the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1,
P-2, P-3 and P-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),
(D) to
the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly
completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied
by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required
information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(f) if
such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)),
or
(E) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a
basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under
the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
89
(3) If
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed
by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA
and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (3),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
clause (f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible
to deliver.
(g) If
the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded
hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with
the Borrower in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Borrower; provided that (a) the Administrative
Agent or such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense
or otherwise be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) the Borrower pay all related expenses of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, as applicable, and (c) the Borrower indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for any liabilities
or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge. The Administrative Agent or a Lender shall claim any refund
that it determines is reasonably available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected
by making such a claim. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17,
it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall,
at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to
repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may
delete any information therein that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
this Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available
its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
(h) Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation
provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(f).
90
(i) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(j) In
respect of VAT:
(1) All
amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by a party to this Agreement to a Secured Party which (in whole or in part) constitute
the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly,
subject to (I) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party to any party to this Agreement under
a Loan Document and such party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, such party must pay to such Secured
Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT
(and such Secured Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).
(I) If
VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Secured
Party (the “Receiving Party”) under a Loan Document, and any party to this Agreement other than the Receiving
Party (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration
for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Receiving Party in respect of that consideration):
(a) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also
pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Receiving Party
must (where (a) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiving Party receives
from the relevant tax authority which the Receiving Party reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (b) (where
the Receiving Party is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following
demand from the Receiving Party, pay to the Receiving Party an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent
that the Receiving Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect
of that VAT.
(2) Where
a Loan Document requires any party to this Agreement to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, such party shall
reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof
as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party reasonably determines that it (or any group, or a representative member
of a group, of which that Party is a member) is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(3) Any
reference in this Section 2.17(j) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of
a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference
to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (as
provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European
Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a
party shall be construed as a reference to such party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member
for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the
relevant time (as the case may be).
91
(4) In
relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Secured Party, such
party must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of such party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably
requested in connection with such Secured Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
Section 2.18 Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a) The
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts
payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required
hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New
York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such
time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business
Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative
Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03
shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified
therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments on the SOFR Loans) under any Loan Document shall be
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on
a SOFR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment
shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences,
interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan
shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, all payments of accrued interest payable on a Loan shall be made in
dollars, and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.
(b) If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all applicable amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of applicable interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the applicable amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties.
(c) If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest
on any of its Loans of a given Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount
of its Loans of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans
of the same Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
of such Class of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class; provided
that
(i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and
(ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to
(A) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement,
92
(B) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant or
(C) any
disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration
date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders
that have consented to any such extension.
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,
to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b),
Section 2.06(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.19 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event that
gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17
or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to
any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies
of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.
(b) If
(i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23,
or (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment
and delegation), provided that
(A) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under
Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consents, in each case, shall
not unreasonably be withheld or delayed,
93
(B) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal
and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts),
(C) the
Borrower or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in
Section 9.04(b)(ii) and
(D) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payment required to be
made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.23, such assignment will result
in a material reduction in such compensation or payments.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action
taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant
to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make
such assignment need not be a party thereto.
Section 2.20 Incremental
Credit Extension.
(a) The
Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party may at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, by notice to the Administrative Agent request
(i) one
or more additional Classes of term loans or additional term loans of the same Class of any existing Class of term loans (the
“Incremental Term Loans”),
(ii) one
or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments of any Class (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving
Commitment Increase”) or
(iii) one
or more additional Classes of Revolving Commitments (the “Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments,” and,
together with the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Facilities”);
provided that, subject to Section 1.07,
after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment referred to below and at the time that any such Incremental
Term Loan, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitment is made or effected, no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom (except, in the case of the incurrence or provision of any
Incremental Facility in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, which
shall be subject to no Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of
Section 7.01). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental
Facilities incurred after the Effective Date shall not at the time of incurrence of any such Incremental Facilities (and after giving
effect to such incurrence) exceed the Incremental Cap at such time (calculated in a manner consistent with the definition of “Incremental
Cap”).
(b) Each
Incremental Facility shall comply with the following clauses (A) through (F):
(A) the
maturity date of any Incremental Facility shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the
Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans,
94
(B) the
pricing (including any “MFN” or other pricing terms), interest rate margins, rate floors, fees, premiums (including
prepayment premiums), funding discounts and, subject to clause (A), the maturity and amortization schedule for any Incremental
Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Lenders,
(C) (i) the
Incremental Facilities shall be secured solely by the Collateral on an equal and ratable basis (or a junior basis, subject to the relevant
Intercreditor Agreement(s)) with the Secured Obligations or unsecured, and
(ii) no
Incremental Facility shall be guaranteed by entities other than the Guarantors or the Borrower,
(D) the
terms and provisions (other than upfront fees) of any Incremental Facility shall be the same as the Term Loans (except to the extent
such differing terms (which shall be more favorable to the Lenders as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent) are conformed
(or added) in this Agreement for the benefit of the Term Loans pursuant to an amendment thereto (with no consent of the Lenders being
required)); provided that, to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant or any other covenant is added for the
benefit of any Incremental Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any of the Term Lenders to the extent
that such financial maintenance covenant or other covenant is (1) also added for the benefit of any existing Loans or (2) only
applicable after the Latest Maturity Date; provided, further, that a certificate of a Responsible Officer
shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent certifying that the requirements of this clause (D) are satisfied,
(E) such
Incremental Facility may be provided in any currency as mutually agreed among the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the applicable
Additional Lenders; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Facility that (1) is secured by the Collateral
and ranks equal in priority of right of security and payment with the Term Loans (but without regard to the control of remedies), (2) is
incurred on or prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date and (3) is in the form of term loans (but not debt securities),
in the event that the Effective Yield for any Incremental Facility is greater than the Effective Yield for the Term Loans by more than
0.50% per annum, then the Effective Yield for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Effective Yield for
the Term Loans is equal to the Effective Yield for the Incremental Facility minus 0.50% per annum (the “MFN Protection”),
and
(F) each
Incremental Facility shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree); provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000, if
such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities set forth above.
(c) The
Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be treated the same as the Class of Revolving Commitments being increased (including
with respect to maturity date thereof) and shall be considered to be part of the Class of Revolving Credit Facility being increased
(it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, the pricing, interest rate margins,
rate floors and undrawn commitment fees on the Class of Revolving Commitments being increased may be increased and additional upfront
or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase (without any requirement to pay
such fees to any existing Revolving Lenders)).
(d) To
the extent not addressed in clause (b) above, the Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments
(i) shall
rank equal in right of payment with the Revolving Loans, shall be secured only by the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations and
shall only be guaranteed by the Loan Parties,
95
(ii) [reserved],
(iii) shall
have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, undrawn commitment fees, funding
discounts, original issue discounts, prepayment terms and premiums and commitment reduction and termination terms as determined by the
borrowers and the lenders of such commitments,
(iv) shall
contain borrowing, repayment and termination of Commitment procedures as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such commitments,
(v) may
include provisions relating to letters of credit, as applicable, issued thereunder, which issuances shall be on terms substantially similar
(except for the overall size of such subfacilities, the fees payable in connection therewith and the identity of the letter of credit
issuer, as applicable, which shall be determined by the Borrower, the lenders of such commitments and the applicable letter of credit
issuers and borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures with respect thereto, in each case which shall be specified
in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment) to the terms relating to the letters of credit with respect to the applicable Class of
Revolving Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
(vi) may
otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Revolving Credit Facility (including currency denomination);
provided that
(x) except
with respect to matters contemplated by clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and
(v) above, any differences shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants and
other provisions applicable only to the periods after the Latest Maturity Date) and
(y) the
documentation governing any Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments may include a financial maintenance covenant or related equity
cure so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include
such financial maintenance covenant or related equity cure for the benefit of each facility (provided, further,
however, that, if the applicable new financial maintenance covenant is a “springing” financial maintenance
covenant for the benefit of such revolving credit facility or covenant only applicable to, or for the benefit of, a revolving credit
facility, such financial maintenance covenant shall be automatically included in this Agreement only for the benefit of each revolving
credit facility hereunder (and not for the benefit of any term loan facility hereunder)).
(e) Each
notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall set forth the requested amount of the relevant Incremental
Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments.
(f) Commitments
in respect of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments
shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a
Revolving Commitment, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment
(an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed
by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment (provided that no Lender shall be obligated to provide
any loans or commitments under any Incremental Facility unless it so agrees), if any, each additional Lender, if any, the Administrative
Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Incremental Term Loans and loans under Incremental Revolving Commitment
Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. The Incremental Facility Amendment may without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable (including changing the amortization schedule
or extending the call protection of existing Term Loans in a manner required to make the Incremental Term Loans fungible with such Term
Loans), in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20(including,
in connection with an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, to reallocate Revolving Exposure on a pro rata basis among the relevant
Revolving Lenders). The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment and the occurrence of any credit event (including the making
of a Loan and the issuance, increase in the amount, or extension of a letter of credit thereunder) pursuant to such Incremental Facility
Amendment may be subject to the satisfaction of such additional conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower and any Subsidiary
may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving
Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.
96
(g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, this Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or
Section 9.02 to the contrary.
Section 2.21 Refinancing
Amendments.
(a) At
any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness
in respect of all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause
will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans), in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments, in each
case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that the Net Proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness
shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Term Loans; provided,
further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any
additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof
and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness
is issued, incurred or obtained. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.21
shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans and (y) an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (in each case unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree). The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the
extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred
pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other
Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
to effect the provisions of this Section.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, this Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or
Section 9.02 to the contrary.
Section 2.22 [Reserved].
Section 2.23 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for
any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted
Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, then, on
notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR
Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon
three Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), in the case of SOFR Loans, prepay or, if
applicable, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to SOFR Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender
may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
SOFR Loans, and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the
Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall, during the period of such suspension, compute
the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR
component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR. Each Lender agrees to notify
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine
or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion,
the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
97
Section 2.24 Loan
Modification Offers.
(a) At
any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one
or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject
to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments relating
to such Affected Class pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the

or one of its Affiliates’ website on the Internet or (B) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf
on IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent has access (whether a commercial,
third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) the Borrower shall deliver
such documents to the Administrative Agent upon its reasonable request until a written notice to cease delivering such documents is given
by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the
posting of any such documents and upon its reasonable request, provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions
(i.e., soft copies) of such documents. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or maintain
paper copies of the documents referred to above, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents and
maintaining its copies of such documents.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges
that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the
Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Company Materials”) by posting Company Materials on IntraLinks or another
similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public
Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or
its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities
with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable
request, use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of Company Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders
and that (i) all such Company Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a
minimum, means that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by
marking Company Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders to treat such Company Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and
proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided,
however, that to the extent such Company Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12);
(iii) all Company Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the
Platform designated “Public Side Information”; and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
treat any Company Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of
the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any Company Materials “PUBLIC.”

occurrence of any Default; and
(b) the
filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority against or, to the knowledge

that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto.
Section 5.03 Information

Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within 30 days or such longer period as reasonably agreed
to by the Collateral Agent) written notice of any change (i) in any Loan Party’s legal name (as set forth in its certificate
of organization or like document) or (ii) in the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Loan Party, in the form of
its organization or in the location of its chief executive office.
(b) Not
later than five days after delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01(a), the Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) setting forth the information required
pursuant to Schedules I through IV of the Pledge and Security Agreement or confirming that there has been
no change in such information since the Effective Date or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section and
(ii) certifying that all notices required to be given prior to the date of such certificate by this Section 5.03
and 5.12 have been given.

preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges, franchises and Intellectual
Property material to the conduct of its business, in each case (other than the preservation of the existence of the Borrower) to the
extent that the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, provided that the foregoing
shall not prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.03 or any Disposition
permitted by Section 6.05.
Section 5.05 Payment
of Taxes, Etc. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, pay its obligations in respect of Taxes before the same

Section 5.07 Insurance.
The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, maintain, with insurance companies that the Borrower believes (in the good faith
judgment of the management of the Borrower) are financially sound and responsible at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed,
insurance in at least such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance which the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment
of management of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business) and against at least such risks
(and with such risk retentions) as the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) are reasonable
and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business; and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from the Administrative
Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried. Within 30 days after the Effective Date (or such later
date as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree), each such policy of insurance maintained by a Loan Party shall (i) name
the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (ii) in
the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a lender’s loss payable/mortgagee clause or endorsement that names the Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties as the lender’s loss payable/mortgagee thereunder.
Section 5.08 Books

and account in which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity with GAAP (or applicable
local standards) consistently applied shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business
of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be. The Borrower will, and will cause the Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives
designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and
make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants,
all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested; provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections
during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise visitation and inspection
rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 5.08 and the Administrative Agent shall not
exercise such rights more often than one time during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default, which visitation
and inspection shall be at the reasonable expense of the Borrower; provided, further that (a) when an
Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors)
may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice
and (b) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with
the Borrower’s independent public accountants.
Section 5.09 Compliance
with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, comply with its Organizational Documents and all Requirements
of Law (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, USA Patriot Act, OFAC, FCPA and the United Kingdom Bribery Act 2010) with respect to it
or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The undertakings set forth in this Section 5.09 shall not apply to the extent that they would
violate or expose any Loan Party or any of its directors, officers or employees to any liability under any applicable Blocking Law.
Section 5.10 Use
of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Effective Date to consummate the Transactions.
Section 5.11 Additional
Subsidiaries. If any additional Subsidiary is formed or acquired after the Effective Date (including, without limitation, upon

Subsidiary is formed or acquired (including, without limitation, upon the formation of any Subsidiary that is a Delaware Divided LLC)
(unless such Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary), notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and will cause such Subsidiary and the other
Loan Parties to take all actions (if any) required to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement with respect to such Subsidiary
and with respect to any Equity Interest in or Indebtedness of such Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party within 30 days
after such notice (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably agree). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case
of any Subsidiary that is (or on becoming a Subsidiary Loan Party would be) an Approved Foreign Guarantor, the relevant period shall
be the later of 90 days after such notice and the Post-Closing Security Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably agree). Furthermore, in case of a Foreign Approved Subsidiary incorporated in Spain that is formed or acquired after the Effective
Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Schedule 5.14 (Post-Closing Matters) shall have been satisfied within 60 days after such
newly formed or acquired Foreign Approved Subsidiary incorporated in Spain is formed or acquired.

Lenders may reasonably request, to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied, all at the expense of the

acquired (including, without limitation, any acquisition pursuant to a Delaware LLC Division) by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
or are held by any Subsidiary on or after the time it becomes a Loan Party pursuant to Section 5.11 (other than assets
constituting Collateral under a Security Document that become subject to the Lien created by such Security Document upon acquisition
thereof or constituting Excluded Assets), the Borrower will notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Collateral
Agent, the Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and will take and cause the other
Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary and reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent and consistent with the Collateral
and Guarantee Requirement to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (a) of this Section,
all at the expense of the Loan Parties and subject to the last paragraph of the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement.”

The Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain within thirty (30) calendar days after the Effective Date (and use commercially
reasonable efforts to maintain thereafter) (a) a public corporate credit rating issued by at least two of S&P, Moody’s
and Fitch (but not to maintain a specific rating) and (b) a public credit rating of the Term Loans made available under this Agreement
issued by at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch (but not to maintain a specific rating).

Section 5.17 Changes
in Fiscal Periods. The Borrower shall not make any change in its fiscal year; provided, however,
that the Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, change its fiscal year to any other fiscal year reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, in which case, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent will, and are hereby authorized by the Lenders
to, make any adjustments to this Agreement that are necessary to reflect such change in fiscal year.

For purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 6.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of
the categories of Indebtedness described in clauses (a)(i) through (a)(xxxv) above (or any subclause
thereof) or from clause (a) or (b) of the definition of Incremental Cap to clause (c) of
the definition of Incremental Cap, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, classify and reclassify or later divide, classify or reclassify
such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one
or more of the above clauses; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Loan Documents will be deemed to have
been incurred in reliance only on the exception in clause (a)(i); provided, further, if any such portion
of such Indebtedness could, based on the financial statements for such Test Period, have been incurred in reliance on Section 6.01(a)(xix) or
(xxviii), such portion of such Indebtedness shall automatically be reclassified as having been incurred under the applicable
provisions of Section 6.01(a)(xix) or (xxviii) (in each case, subject to satisfying any other
applicable provision of 6.01(a)(xix) or (xxviii)).
If Indebtedness originally
incurred in reliance upon a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio or the Total
Leverage Ratio under any clause of this Section 6.01 is being refinanced under any clause of this Section 6.01
and such refinancing would cause the maximum amount of Indebtedness thereunder to be exceeded at such time, then such refinancing will
nevertheless be permitted thereunder and such additional Indebtedness will be deemed to have been incurred, and permitted to be incurred,
under such applicable clause, so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of
Indebtedness being refinanced plus amounts permitted by the next sentence. Any such refinancing Indebtedness shall be permitted to include
additional Indebtedness incurred to pay premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid
interest, dividends and fees, costs and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or similar fees) in connection with
such refinancing.
Accrual of interest or dividends,
the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in
the form of additional Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity Interests will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or Disqualified

of insolvency proceedings (a “Subordinated Claim”), all payments received by the Lenders (other than any Specially

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL
AGENT
Section 8.01 Appointment
and Authority.
(a) Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to serve as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article (other than resignation and Collateral and
Guaranty matters) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and none of the
Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision. The use of the term “agent”
herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used
merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties.
134
(b) The
Collateral Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any
and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and
discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes
of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any
rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this
Article VIII and Article IX (including the second paragraph of Section 9.03),
as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set
forth in full herein with respect thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, privileges,
immunities and indemnities of the Administrative Agent for such purposes, and all references in this Article VIII
to the Administrative Agent shall include the Collateral Agent for such purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to (i) subject to Section 8.10,
execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect
thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and acknowledge and agree
that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders and (ii) subject to Sections 8.09 and 9.02,
negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, which negotiation, enforcement
or settlement will be binding upon each Lender.
(c) Each
Loan Party hereby releases the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to the extent possible from any restrictions on representing
several persons and self-dealing applicable to it under any applicable law, in particular pursuant to Section 181 of the German
Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). To the extent legally possible, each Secured Party (including each Person that becomes
a Secured Party after the date hereof) hereby releases each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent from any applicable
restrictions on entering into any transaction as a representative of (i) two or more principals contracting with each other and
(ii) one or more principals with whom it is contracting in its own name, including, without limitation, the restrictions set out
in section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and any equivalent restrictions under any applicable law.
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall, to the extent possible, have the authority to grant an exception from the restrictions
of section 181 of the German Civil Code and any equivalent restrictions under any applicable law to any co-agent, sub-agent and attorney-in-fact.
Section 8.02 Rights

as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender”
or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving
as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Each such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account

or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall not have any liability for any inaccuracy

by the Administrative Agent,” “acceptable to the Administrative Agent,” “as determined by the Administrative
Agent,” “in the Administrative Agent’s discretion,” “selected by the Administrative Agent,” “elected
by the Administrative Agent,” “requested by the Administrative Agent,” and phrases of similar import that authorize
and permit the Administrative Agent to approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion shall be subject to the
Administrative Agent receiving written direction from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as expressly
required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) to take such action or to exercise such rights.

and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” is received by the Administrative
Agent from the Borrower or a Lender.
Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any
of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall
from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled
to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent and the

from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify it against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the

taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
137

of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise its rights
and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents, co-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed
by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent,
co-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of their duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective

non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents, co-agents or attorneys-in-fact.

of Agents.The Administrative Agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any
such notice of resignation or upon such removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (unless

such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have

Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations) and
(2) except
for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and

or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in this Section. The fees payable by

of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Agent or Collateral Agent, any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information

in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending
facility, (ii) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other

of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrower, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other
type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such
as a claim under the federal or state securities laws), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Agent, or any Lender or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and

on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, or Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder.
Section 8.09 Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any debtor relief law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due
and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders
and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.12
and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
139
(b) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, receiver and manager,
interim receiver, monitor, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.12
and 9.03.
Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Lender, or to authorize
the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.
Section 8.10 Collateral
and Guaranty Matters. No Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee
of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised
solely by the applicable Agent on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral
Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser
or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative
of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise
agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any
portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any or all of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account
of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at such sale or other disposition.
Each Lender, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees
of the Secured Obligations, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.
Each Lender party to this
Agreement hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the relevant
Security Documents.
The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with
the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall
not (a) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant
is a Disqualified Lender or (b) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or
Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.
Section 8.11 [Reserved].
Section 8.12 Erroneous
Payments.
(a) Each
Lender hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf
of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Erroneous Payment Recipient”)
in writing that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion that the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates
mistakenly transmitted funds to such Erroneous Payment Recipient, as a result of a clerical, mechanical, technological or other error,
whether or not known to such Erroneous Payment Recipient (any such funds, whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands in writing
the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment Recipient shall make commercially reasonable efforts
to promptly return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a written
demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received). A notice from the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.12(a) shall
set forth the facts and circumstances resulting in such Erroneous Payment; provided that the Administrative Agent shall
not make any demand under this Section 8.12(a) unless the notice described herein is delivered within 90
days after the making of the applicable Erroneous Payment.
140
(b) Without
limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it (or an Erroneous
Payment Recipient on its behalf) receives a payment from the Administrative Agent (x) in a different amount or on a different date
than the amount or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent with respect to such payment, (y) that
was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party
(or Erroneous Payment Recipient on its behalf) otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole
or in part) then, in each case, such Lender or Secured Party shall presume that an error has been made (absent written confirmation from
the Administrative Agent) and shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the
Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 8.12(b).
(c) Each
Erroneous Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any amounts at any time owing to such
Erroneous Payment Recipient under any Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the preceding clause
(a).
(d) The
Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered
from any Erroneous Payment Recipient (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 8.12),
the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Erroneous Payment Recipient with respect to such amount (such
rights, the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay,
repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party. If the amount of any Erroneous
Payment is subsequently recovered by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates, the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate shall return
to the applicable Erroneous Payment Recipient either (x) the Loans acquired pursuant to this clause (d) or (y) if
applicable, the proceeds of such Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, in
no event shall the occurrence of an Erroneous Payment (or any Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights or other rights of the Administrative
Agent in respect of an Erroneous Payment) result in the Administrative Agent becoming or being deemed to be a Lender hereunder or the
holder of any Loans hereunder.
(e) In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by law, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without
prior notice to any Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect
to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 8.12 and which has not been
returned to the Administrative Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in
any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the
Administrative Agent or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender. The Administrative
Agent agrees to promptly notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by the Administrative Agent; provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
(f) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof)
under any Loan Document.
141

of an auction and the address for serving of notices and submitting to the jurisdiction of law courts by waiving its own forum, and release
such guarantees or security, all of the foregoing under the terms and conditions which the Secured Parties may agree, and/or sign any
Spanish Public Documents that the Secured Parties may deem fit; (E) ratify any such private or Spanish Public Document in the name
or on behalf of the Secured Parties; (F) execute any and all deeds, documents, and carry out any and all acts and things, required
in connection with the execution of any Loan Documents, or the execution of any further Spanish Public Document of amendment (escritura
pública de rectificación o subsanación) that may be required for the purpose or in connection with the power granted
in this Section 8.13; (G) execute in the name of any of the Secured Parties any novation, amendment or ratification to any
Loan Document and appear before a notary public and raise into the status of a Spanish Public Document such documents; and (H) carry
out, execute, effect and perform all the actions that may be necessary or convenient for the purposes of complying with the purpose of
this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the granting of any public and/or, private document and/or any action required for the
purposes of enforcing in Spain any Security Document or any Spanish law governed Security Document.
Each Secured Party undertakes
to the Administrative Agent that, promptly upon request, such Secured Party and any secured party under the Secured Obligations party
hereto will ratify and confirm all transactions entered into and other actions by the Administrative Agent (or any of its substitutes
or delegates) in the proper exercise of the power granted to it hereunder. It is hereby agreed that the relationship of the Secured Parties
to the Administrative Agent in relation to any Spanish law governed Security Document shall be construed as one of principal and agent.
The Collateral granted under the Spanish law governed Security Documents will be granted in favor of each and every Secured Party (represented
or acting through the Administrative Agent, in its condition as collateral agent, by means of the faculties included herein) to secure
the Secured Obligations (expressly excluding any parallel debt structure) and shall not be held on trust unless expressly permitted by
law. Nevertheless, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to accept the Collateral granted under the Spanish law governed Security
Documents in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties by virtue of the powers (mandato) granted in this Section 8.13.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED
“AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS
OF THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE COMPANY
MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT
PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties
(collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s,
any other Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Company Materials or notices or communications through
the Platform, any other electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or any of
its Related Parties, as applicable.
The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices and Borrowing Requests) purportedly
given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were
not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may
be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
Section 9.02 Waivers;
Amendments.
(a) No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance
of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver
of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances.
144
(b) Except
as expressly provided herein, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case
of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (to the extent
that such waiver, amendment or modification does not affect the rights, duties, privileges or obligations of the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall execute such waiver, amendment or other modification to the extent approved by the
Required Lenders) and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of
the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall
(i) increase
the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent
set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction
of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);
(ii) reduce
the principal amount of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory
reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or
reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood
that any change to the definition of “Total Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not
constitute a reduction of interest or fees), provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary
to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c);
(iii) postpone
the maturity of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction
of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension of any maturity date), or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the
principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.10 or the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Agreement,
or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected
thereby;
(iv) change
any of the provisions of this Section without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided
that any such change which is in favor of a Class of Lenders holding Loans maturing after the maturity of other Classes of Lenders
(and only takes effect after the maturity of such other Classes of Loans or Commitments) will require the written consent of the Required
Lenders with respect to each Class directly and adversely affected thereby;
(v) lower
the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as
the case may be);
(vi) (A) release
all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guaranty (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) without
the written consent of each Lender or (B) amend, modify, terminate or waive the last paragraph of Section 9.15
without the written consent of each Lender;
(vii) release
all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender (except
as expressly provided in the Loan Documents);
(viii) change
the currency in which any Loan is denominated, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(ix) change
(A) any of the provisions of Section 7.03, or Section 4.02 of the Pledge and Security Agreement
and/or the similar “waterfall” provisions in the other Security Documents referred to therein or (B) Section 2.18(c),
in each case without the written consent of each Lender;
145
(x) (A) amend,
modify, terminate or waive Section 6.01(a)(iv) without the written consent of each Lender or (B) permit
the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt any “debtor-in-possession” facility
pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar financing under applicable law) and no Lender or the Agent shall consent
to the incurrence of such facility) with respect to which all or any portion of the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated in
right of payment or Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated
(any such other Indebtedness to which the Obligations are subordinated in right of payment or such Liens securing any of the Obligations
are subordinated, “Specified Indebtedness”), unless each Lender has been offered a bona fide opportunity to
fund or otherwise provide its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Obligations held by each Lender that are adversely affected
thereby) of the Specified Indebtedness on the same terms (other than bona fide backstop fees and reimbursement of counsel fees and other
expenses in connection with the negotiation of the terms of such transaction; such fees and expenses, “Ancillary Fees”)
as offered to all other providers (or their Affiliates) of the Specified Indebtedness and to the extent such adversely affected Lender
decides to participate in the Specified Indebtedness, receive its pro rata share of the fees and any other similar benefit (other than
Ancillary Fees) of the Specified Indebtedness afforded to the providers of the Specified Indebtedness (or any of their Affiliates) in
connection with providing the Specified Indebtedness without the written consent of each Lender; provided, that, for the
avoidance of doubt, any such opportunity (including any fees (other than bona fide backstop fees) available prior to the closing thereof)
may be provided in connection with a post-closing syndication of the Specified Indebtedness;
(xi) amend,
modify or waive any provision of the Loan Documents in a manner that would permit any Subsidiary to be designated as an “Unrestricted
Subsidiary” or permit the transfer of any assets (including by Disposition, Investment or Restricted Payments) to “Unrestricted
Subsidiaries” or otherwise permit the creation or existence of, or transfer of any assets (including by Disposition, Investment
or Restricted Payments) to, a Subsidiary otherwise not subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents (it being acknowledged that no
Subsidiary is an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” hereunder as of the Effective Date) without the written consent of each Lender;
(xii) to
the extent not otherwise permitted by this Agreement as of the Effective Date, authorize additional Indebtedness that would be issued
under the Loan Documents for the purpose of influencing voting thresholds without the written consent of each Lender;
(xiii) amend,
modify, terminate or waive the last paragraph of Section 6.05 or Section 6.12 without the written
consent of each Lender;
(xiv) permit
the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any non-cash consideration (or any consideration deemed to be cash consideration)
except as permitted under this Agreement as of the Effective Date without the consent of each Lender;
(xv) amend,
modify or waive the definition of “Maturity Date” without the written consent of each Lender without the written
consent of each Lender; and
(xvi) any
waiver, amendment or modification to any provision requiring all Indebtedness owed by any Loan Party to a Subsidiary that is not a Loan
Party to be unsecured and subordinated without the written consent of each Lender.
provided, further,
that
(A) no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any amendment
of this Section,
(B) any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency and
(C) any
waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding
Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected
by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into solely by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the requisite percentage in
interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of
Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
146
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(a) subject
to subsection (b) above (including clause (xiii) thereof), this Agreement may be amended (or amended
and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more
additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the
accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to
include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same
basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion,
(b) this
Agreement and other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, without the need to obtain the consent
of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting of powers by the Lenders
and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Collateral Agent, in each case required to create in favor of the Collateral Agent any
security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest, where the Administrative
Agent shall have been advised by its counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with the
Borrower hereby agreeing to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon reasonable request of
the Administrative Agent promptly upon such request) and
(c) upon
notice thereof by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance
covenant or other covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender to include any such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable
Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or section.
(c) In
connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring
the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change
is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose
consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible
Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that
(i) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under
Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent shall not unreasonably
be withheld,
(ii) such
Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amounts under Section 2.11(a)(i)), payable to it hereunder from
the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts) and
147
(iii) unless
waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified
in Section 9.04(b).
(d) In
the event a Spanish Loan Party enters into any of the arrangements in the context of an insolvency proceeding affecting that Loan Party
incorporated in Spain, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the liabilities of the remaining guarantors (both under the Guarantees
and as Collateral providers) in respect of the insolvent Loan Party incorporated in Spain shall not be affected in any way by such voluntary
arrangement even if any of the Lenders voted in favor of, or acceded to, the relevant voluntary arrangement, unless otherwise provided
by law.
(e) Without
any further consent of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to negotiate, execute and deliver
on behalf of the Secured Parties any Intercreditor Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f) For
the avoidance of doubt, the definition of Required Lenders shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis in accordance with Section 1.04;
provided that any waiver, amendment or modification obtained on such basis (i) will not become operative until substantially
contemporaneously with the incurrence of such Indebtedness, (ii) is not required in order to avoid a covenant Default and (iii) does
not affect the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any then outstanding Class but not
the Lenders in respect of such Indebtedness to be incurred.
Section 9.03 Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) The
Borrower shall pay, if the Effective Date occurs, (i) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out of pocket expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates (without duplication), including
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and to the extent reasonably
determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or otherwise retained with the
Borrower’s consent, in each case for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arrangers, and to the extent retained
with the Borrower’s consent, consultants, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (including
the costs of any Spanish Public Document) and (ii) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their respective rights in connection
with the Loan Documents, including their respective rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including
all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans; provided
that such counsel shall be limited to one lead counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict
of interest, one additional counsel per affected party.
(b) The
Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender, the Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including legal fees, notarial costs, translation fees, the costs of any Spanish court clerk (procurador)
(even if their intervention is not mandatory), court costs (costas procesales) and registration fees and the costs of any authorized
copy with enforcement effect of any Spanish Public Document, and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses
of one counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee
affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional
counsel) for all Indemnitees (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any Subsidiary arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties
to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated
thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) to the extent in any way arising from or relating to any
of the foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at or from any Mortgaged Property or any other
property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability, related to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any
of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any Subsidiary
and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or a material
breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties or (ii) any dispute between or among Indemnitees that does
not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries except that each Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners
shall be indemnified in their capacities as such to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in clause (i) applies
to such Person at such time. This Section 9.03(b) should not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that
represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
148
(c) To
the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as
of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata
share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time. The obligations
of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02 (which shall apply mutatis mutandis
to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)).
(d) To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee
(i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic
or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee,
be available to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its
Related Parties, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after written demand therefor; provided,
however, that any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a
final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03.
Section 9.04 Successors
and Assigns.
(a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall
be null and void), (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of
this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
149
(b) (i) Subject
to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or
more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of (A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (1) by a Term Lender to
any Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or (2) by a Term Lender to an Approved Fund or (3) if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a),
(b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, by a Term Lender or a Revolving Lender
to any other assignee; and (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided
that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund or to any Parent Entity or any Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.04
to the contrary, if any Person the consent of which is required by this paragraph with respect to any assignment of Term Loans has not
given the Administrative Agent written notice of their objection to such assignment within 10 Business Days after written notice to such
Person, such Person shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment.
(ii) Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or,
if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), unless the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the
Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or
(i) has occurred and is continuing,
(B) each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, provided that this subclause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans,
(C) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a
representation by the assignee that it meets all the requirements to be an Eligible Assignee), together (unless waived by the Administrative
Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or
Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective; and
(D) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) and
an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective
securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures
and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws and
(E) [reserved].
(iii) Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and
limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable
hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this
Section.
150
(iv) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment
and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and
principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and, solely with respect
to its Loans or Commitments, any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed
Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) (unless the assignee shall already
be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes
of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b).
(vi) The
words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption
shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal
effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may
be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce
Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act.
(c) (i) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons
(other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee (provided that, for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall
be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower)) (a
“Participant”), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender
sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in
the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph
(c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15,
2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations thereof,
it being understood that any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) shall be provided solely to the Lender that
sold the participation) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To
the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it
were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(b) as though
it were a Lender.
151
(ii) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the
sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iii) Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register
on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish
that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes
of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(d) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of
a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose
funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a
commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or
any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by
an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting
Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement
(all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which
agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in
full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any
other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under
the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04,
any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial
institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such
SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating
to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to
such SPV.
(f) [reserved].
(g) Assignments
of Term Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be permitted through open market purchases (including privately negotiated transactions)
and/or “Dutch auctions”, so long as any offer to purchase or take by assignment (other than through open market purchases
(including privately negotiated transactions)) by such Purchasing Borrower Party shall have been made to all Term Lenders, so long as
(i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Term Loans purchased are immediately and automatically
canceled. Purchasing Borrower Parties may not purchase Revolving Loans.
152
(h) Upon
any contribution of Loans to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and upon any purchase of Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party, (A) the
aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Loans shall automatically be canceled and retired by the Borrower
on the date of such contribution or purchase (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, with respect to a contribution of Loans,
any applicable contributing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other
form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its
interest in such Loans to the Borrower for immediate cancellation) and (B) the Administrative Agent shall record such cancellation
or retirement in the Register.
(i) The
Parties irrevocably agree that, in accordance with Article 1,528 of the Spanish Civil Code, in the event of any assignment made
pursuant to and in accordance with this Section, the Guarantees and the Collateral created under any Spanish law Security Document shall
be deemed to have been automatically transferred (notwithstanding the relevant formalities required to perfect such transfer in any jurisdiction,
if any) to the relevant assignee, as new Lender. At the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, each of the assignee Lender and
the assigning Lender (at their own cost) shall promptly raise the duly completed Assignment and Assumption to the status of a Spanish
Public Document.
Section 9.05 Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties
hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation
made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement
is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16,
2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless
of the occurrence of the Termination Date.
Section 9.06 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 9.07 Severability
. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
153
Section 9.08 Right
of Setoff . If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at
any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective
of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office
of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The applicable Lender shall
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any
delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no amount set off from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor.

Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

any Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against the Borrower or its
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each
of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection

in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.
(d) Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.

agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and
(ii) in
the case of clause (y) only, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure
that such Information is kept confidential in connection with the exercise of such remedies, and provided, further,
that in no event shall any Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries,

Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this
Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders
in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Borrowings

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits
any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules or regulations to a governmental,
regulatory, or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any person. Any Lead Arranger may place customary advertisements
in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of customary information

means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or their business, other than any such information
that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by
the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of
such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT
MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE

any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of Title III of the USA Patriot Act and the requirements
of 31 C.F.R §1010.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Title III
of the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
156
Section 9.14 Judgment
Currency.
(a) If,
for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency,
each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which
in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency
on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
(b) The
obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the “Applicable
Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other
than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged
only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment
Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement
Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
Section 9.15 Release
of Liens and Guarantees. Subject to the final paragraph of this Section 9.15, a Subsidiary Loan Party shall
automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents
in Collateral owned by (and to the extent constituting Excluded Assets, upon the request of the Borrower, the Equity Interests of) such
Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released, upon the request of the Borrower, upon any Subsidiary Loan Party becoming an Excluded
Subsidiary.
Upon (i) any sale or other transfer by any
Loan Party (other than to the Borrower or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or
(ii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any
Collateral or the release of any Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Guaranty, in each case of this clause (ii), pursuant to Section 9.02,
the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents or such guarantee shall be automatically released. Upon the
occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Loan Documents and all security interests created by the Security Documents
shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request
to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse
to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to (i) release
or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document
to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02 (v) or (viii)(A) to
the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent) and (ii) subordinate any Lien on any Mortgaged Property if required under the terms of any lease, easement,
right of way or similar agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property provided such lease, easement, right of way or similar
agreement is permitted by Section 6.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any security interest
created by the Security Documents (including any Mortgage) in any fee-owned real property by any Loan Party that is an Excluded Asset
shall be automatically released upon the release of the security documents securing the Muvico 2L Notes and in connection with any termination
or release pursuant to this sentence, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s
expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.
No Guarantor will be released from its guarantee
or become an Excluded Subsidiary, including as a result of ceasing to be wholly-owned, unless (i) at the time such Guarantor ceases
to be wholly-owned or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, the primary purpose of such transaction was not to evade the guarantee
requirements hereof, (ii) the transaction by which such Guarantor ceases to be wholly-owned or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary
was consummated on an arms’ length basis with an unaffiliated third party and (iii) such transaction otherwise complies with
the terms of this Agreement (with the Borrower being deemed to have made an Investment in such resulting non-Guarantor Subsidiary or
Excluded Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, and such Investment being subject to Section 6.04).
157
Section 9.16 No
Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of
the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates,
on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that
does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates,
and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. Each Agent, Lender and their
respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates.
Section 9.17 Spanish
Executive Proceedings.
(a) The
parties hereto agree that this Agreement, the Guaranty, any Spanish law governed Security Document and, if requested by the Administrative
Agent, any other Loan Document to which a Loan Party incorporated in Spain is a party, and any accessions, amendments, extensions and/or
assignments thereto, will be formalized in a Spanish Public Document in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or such other document
for the purposes of Article 517 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law. Each Spanish Public Document will: (a) have the effects
established under Articles 517 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law and (b) if necessary, for the purposes of Article 571
et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, include an authorization in favor of the Administrative Agent to determine the amounts due
and payable under the Loan Documents that may be claimable in an executive proceeding. Each party hereto hereby expressly authorizes
the Administrative Agent to request and obtain from the Spanish notary public before whom any Loan Document has been formalized, a copy
with enforcement effects (copia autorizada con carácter ejecutivo) of any notarized Loan Document. The costs of issuance of first
copies of any Loan Document shall be borne by the Borrower or a Loan Party. The cost regarding the issuance of any additional copies
shall be borne by the party requesting such additional copies.
(b) Upon
enforcement, the sum payable by any Loan Party party to a Spanish law governed Security Document shall be the total aggregate amount
of the balance of the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent. For the purposes of Articles 571 et seq. of the Spanish Civil
Procedural Law, the parties expressly agree that such balances shall be considered as due, liquid and payable and may be claimed pursuant
to the same provisions of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law.
(c) For
the purpose of the provisions of Article 571 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, it is expressly agreed that the determination
of the debt to be claimed through the executive proceedings shall be effected by the Administrative Agent by means of the appropriate
certificate evidencing the balances shown in the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph (b) above. By virtue of the foregoing,
to exercise executive action by the Administrative Agent it will be sufficient to present (i) an original notarial first or authentic
copy of this Agreement, (ii) a notarial certificate, if necessary, for the purposes described in paragraph (e) below, (iii) the
notarial document (acta notarial) which incorporates the certificate issued by the Administrative Agent of the amount due by the Loan
Parties party to a Spanish law governed Security Document, including an excerpt of the credits and debits, including the interest applied,
which appear in the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph (b) above, evidencing that the determination of the amounts
due and payable by the Loan Parties party to a Spanish law governed Security Document has been calculated as agreed in this Agreement
and that such amounts coincide with the balance of such accounts, and (iv) a notarial document (acta notarial) evidencing that the
Borrower has been served notice of the amount that is due and payable.
(d) Paragraph
(c) above is also applicable to any Lender with regard to its Commitment. Such Lender may issue an appropriate certification of
the balances of the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph (b) above and certification of the balances of such accounts
shall be legalized by a notary.
(e) The
amount of the balances so established shall be notified to the Borrower in an attestable manner at least five (5) days in advance
of exercising the executive action set out in paragraph (c) or (d) above, as applicable.
158
(f) Upon
enforcement, the Loan Parties party to a Spanish law governed Security Document hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent (and
each Lender, as appropriate) to reasonable request and obtain certificates and documents issued by the notary who has formalized this
Agreement (or any substitute) to evidence its compliance with the entries of the notary’s registry-book and the relevant entry

(a) Notarization.
Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes any of them to raise this Agreement (and any amendment, novation

as an título ejecutivo under Article 517.2.4º of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law. Each of the parties irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that such notarization does not require any prior consent of any party hereto.
160

for the purposes of Articles 571 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, subject to the rights of the debtor to challenge
such amounts in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Accreditation
of Assignments. In the event that enforcement proceedings are commenced in Spain by any assignee of a Lender, such assignee may

a copy of the relevant Assignment and Assumption, duly notarized as a Spanish Public Document or apostilled in accordance with the Hague
Convention of 5 October 1961.
Section 9.23 Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap
Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC,
a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC
under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with
the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and
QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be
stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a) In
the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest
and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or
such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S.
Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property)
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of
a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that
might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted
to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported
QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) As
used in this Section 9.23, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means
an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(i) a
“covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(ii) a
“covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(iii) a
“covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned
to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the
term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

or test (including, without limitation, any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any First and Second Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured
Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Leverage Ratio test, the amount of Consolidated EBITDA and/or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial
ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to Section 1.07), such change is made,

occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is
made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

exchange rate, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than dollars shall be
translated into dollars at the spot rate (rounded to the nearest currency unit, with 0.5 or more of a currency unit being rounded upward);
provided, however, that for purposes of determining compliance with Article VI with respect
to the amount of any Indebtedness, Investment, Disposition or Restricted Payment in a currency other than dollars, no Default or
Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness
or Investment is incurred or Disposition or Restricted Payment made; provided, further, that, for the avoidance
of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.06 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect
to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred or Disposition or Restricted Payment made at any time under such
Sections. For purposes of any determination of Consolidated Total Debt, amounts in currencies other than dollars shall be translated
into dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the most recently delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or
(b). Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative
Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent (such consent

practices relating to such change in currency.

any subset of Defaults or Events of Default); or
(iii) testing
availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated
Total Assets);
in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the
Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”),
with such option to be exercised on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreements related to such Limited Condition
Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive
agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving
Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including
any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent
Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance
with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
For the avoidance of doubt,
if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT
Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA
of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction
or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; however, if any ratios improve
or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Borrower has made an LCT
Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of the incurrence ratios subject to
the LCT Election on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition
Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or
expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma
basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness
or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent

a new credit facility, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll”
by such Lender pursuant to settlement mechanisms approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, such extension,
replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment

Section 2.01 Commitments.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Term Loans to the Borrower denominated in dollars on

or prepaid in respect of the Term Loans may not be re-borrowed.
Section 2.02 Loans
and Borrowings.
(a) Each
Loan shall be made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan
required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments
of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required hereby.
(b) Each
Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided
that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Upon
the effectiveness of this Agreement, interest shall begin to accrue on the full amount thereof as of such date. Once repaid, the Term
Loans may not be reborrowed.
Section 2.03 Requests
for Borrowings. To request a Term Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivery
to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Request. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00
p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall
be irrevocable (provided that in respect of Term Loan Borrowing to be made on the Effective Date, such Term Loan Borrowing may be conditioned
upon the consummation of the Transactions) and shall be delivered by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission to the
Administrative Agent and shall be signed by the Borrower. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:
68
(i) the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(ii) the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; and
(iii) the
location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

Section 2.04 [Reserved].
Section 2.05 [Reserved].
Section 2.06 Funding
of Borrowings.
(a) Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in
dollars by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the Applicable Account of the Administrative Agent most-recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts
so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(b) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender
has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such
corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower,
and the Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall
also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the
case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be its cost
of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.13.
If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing.
(c) Obligations
of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required
hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.
69
Section 2.07 [Reserved].
Section 2.08 Termination
of Commitments. The Commitments shall immediately and automatically terminate upon the funding of the Term Loans on the Effective
Date.

entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure
of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between
the entries made pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, the accounts maintained
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall control.

Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower

of Specified Discount Prepayment.

tranches of Term Loans specified in such Term Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2);

Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(C) (1) Subject

Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice;

offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
72
(III) the
Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess

(IV) each
such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date.
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be
submitted by a responding relevant Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Discount Range

willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable tranche or tranches and the maximum aggregate
principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender
is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction
Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of
any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.
(2) The
Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole

The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction
Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to
the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount
to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred
to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender
that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable
Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required
proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating
Lender”).
(3) If
there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender
in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable
Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than
the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for
those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified
Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro-rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted
Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding
requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range
Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date, notify:
73
(I) the
Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable
Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid,
(II) each
Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and tranches of
Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date,
(III) each
Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such
date, and
(IV) if
applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(D) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Notice; provided that
(I) any
such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any
Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis,
(II) any
such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate dollar amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”)
and the tranche or tranches of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer
will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
(III) the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess
thereof and
(IV) each
such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.
74
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City
time on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable,
(y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”)
at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount
and tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered
Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.
(2) The
Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the
largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that
is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered
Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event
later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”),
the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction
Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(3) Based
upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted
Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding
requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans
(the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance
with this Section 2.11(a)(ii)(D)). If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees
to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date,
in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender
that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount
shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata
reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”).
The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in
the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the
Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is
greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount
of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified
Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount
of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements
of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”).
On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify:
75
(I) the
Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment
and the tranches to be prepaid,
(II) each
Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and
the tranches to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date,
(III) each
Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on
such date, and
(IV) if
applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(E) In
connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may
require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrower in connection
therewith.
(F) If
any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D) above, the Borrower shall
prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Auction Agent, for
the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Auction
Agent’s office in dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant tranche of
Term Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest
on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding
Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating
Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Term Loans
outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of Term Loans prepaid on
the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
(G) To
the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent
with the provisions in this Section 2.11(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion
and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.
76
(H) Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), each notice or other communication
required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon the Auction
Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided
that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening
of business on the next Business Day.
(I) Each
of the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this
Section 2.11(a)(ii) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such
delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory
provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection
with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.11(a)(ii) as well as activities of the
Auction Agent.
(J) The
Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted
Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and
if such offer is revoked pursuant to this subclause (J), any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Term Lender,
as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under
Section 7.01 or otherwise).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the
provisions of this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall permit any transaction permitted by such section to be conducted
on a Class by Class basis and on a non-pro rata basis across Classes (but not within a single Class), in each case, as selected
by the Borrower.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Subject
to Section 2.11(i), in the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after such Net Proceeds are
received (or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment
Event,” on the date of such Prepayment Event), prepay Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net
Proceeds; provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of
the term “Prepayment Event”, if the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries invest (or commit to invest) the Net Proceeds from
such event (or a portion thereof) within 360 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds in the business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
(including any acquisitions or other Investment permitted under Section 6.04), then no prepayment shall be required
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the applicable portion of such Net Proceeds,
if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested) by
the end of such 360 day period (or if committed to be so invested within such 360 day period, have not been so invested within 540 days
after receipt thereof), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so invested
(or committed to be invested); provided, further, that the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Proceeds
to prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Borrowings to the extent
such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness
requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed
the product of (x) the amount of such Net Proceeds and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal
amount of such other Indebtedness and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other
Indebtedness.
77
(d) Subject
to Section 2.11(i), following the end of each fiscal year of AMC, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31,
2027, the Borrower shall prepay Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such
fiscal year; provided that (A) at the Borrower’s option, such amount shall be reduced by the sum of: (i) the
aggregate amount of voluntary prepayments of (x) First Lien Term Loans during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior
to the time such prepayment is due as provided below, (y) other Consolidated First Lien Debt, and (z) the Term Loans and any
Permitted Additional Second Lien Debt (provided that, in each of the foregoing clauses (x), (y) and
(z), (1) any such reduction as a result of a prepayment or repurchase below par shall be limited to the actual amount
of such cash prepayment or repurchase, and (2) in the case of the prepayment of any revolving commitments, there is a corresponding
reduction in the commitments in respect thereof), excluding, in each case, all such prepayments funded with the proceeds of other long-term
Indebtedness or the issuance of Equity Interests and (ii) the ECF Deductions with respect to such fiscal year and (B) no prepayment
shall be required under this Section 2.11(d) unless the amount thereof (after giving effect to the foregoing
clause (A)) would equal or exceed $50,000,000 for the most recently ended Test Period. Each prepayment pursuant to this
paragraph shall be made on or before the date that is ten Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to
be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated.
(e) Prior
to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid
and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section (including
in the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loan Borrowings made at a time when Term Loan Borrowings of more than one Class remain
outstanding, which shall be applied pro rata across each Class); provided, that any Term Lender (and, to the extent provided
in the Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Offer for any Borrowing of Other Term Loans, any Lender that holds Other Term Loans
of the Borrower) may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing (by hand delivery or other approved electronic transmission)
at least three (3) Business Days prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans
or Other Term Loans of any such Borrowing pursuant to this Section (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of
this Section or a mandatory prepayment as a result of the Prepayment Event set forth in clause (b) of the definition
thereof, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Term
Loans or Other Term Loans of any such Borrowing but was so declined may be retained by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (such amounts,
“Retained Declined Proceeds”). Optional and mandatory prepayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall be allocated
among the Classes of Term Loan Borrowings as directed by the Borrower.
(f) The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any prepayment hereunder by delivering a written Notice of Loan Prepayment; provided
that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, such notice must be received not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, ten (10) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment
date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such
notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness
or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower
(by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment
of any Borrowing shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting at the
direction of the Required Lenders) otherwise agree), except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.
Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied
by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
(g) Notwithstanding
any other provisions of Section 2.11(c) or (d),
78
(A) to
the extent that (x) any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in clause (a) of the definition
thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign
Prepayment Event”) or (y) any prepayment of Excess Cash Flow by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant
to Section 2.11(d) are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the Borrower,
the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times
provided in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to the Borrower
(the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable
Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow
is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or
Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional
taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or
(d), as applicable, and
(B) to
the extent that and for so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any
Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow by a Foreign Subsidiary would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account
any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess
Cash Flow, the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided
in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when the Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net
Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account
any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess
Cash Flow, such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation)
applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or
(d), as applicable.
(h) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary but subject to Section 2.11(i), if, at the time that any prepayment would be required
under Section 2.11(c) (solely with respect to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event) or 2.11(d), the Borrower
is required to repay or repurchase any other Indebtedness (or offer to repay or repurchase such Indebtedness) that is secured on a pari
passu basis with any Secured Obligation pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the proceeds of such
Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash Flow (such Indebtedness required to be so repaid or repurchased (or offered to be repaid
or repurchased), the “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the relevant Person may apply the proceeds of such
Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash Flow on a pro rata (or less than pro rata) basis to the prepayment, repurchase or repayment
of the Other Applicable Indebtedness (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Other Applicable Indebtedness
(or accreted amount if such Other Applicable Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount) at such time); it being understood
that
(1) the
portion of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash Flow allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall
not exceed the amount of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash Flow required to be allocated to the Other
Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof (and the remaining amount, if any, of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment
Event or such Excess Cash Flow shall be allocated in accordance with the terms hereof), and the amount of the prepayment, repurchase
or repayment of the Other Applicable Indebtedness that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.11
shall be reduced accordingly and
79
(2) to
the extent the holders of the Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid, repaid or repurchased, the declined
amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied in accordance with the
terms hereof (without giving effect to this Section 2.11(h)).
(i) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if, at the time that any prepayment would be required under Section 2.11(c) (solely
with respect to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event) or 2.11(d), the Borrower is required to repay or repurchase (or offer to
repay or repurchase) any First Lien Obligations pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such First Lien Obligations with
the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash Flow, then no prepayment shall be required under Section 2.11(c) (solely
with respect to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event) or 2.11(d) unless all commitments in respect of such First Lien Obligations
have been terminated and such First Lien Obligations have been paid in full, except, in each case, with respect to the portion (if any)
of any proceeds giving rise to such mandatory prepayment under Section 2.11(c) or 2.11(d) of the First Lien Credit Agreement
(or equivalent provisions under any other documentation governing any other First Lien Obligations) that has been declined by the applicable
lenders or holders thereunder in accordance with the applicable terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement or such other documentation.
Section 2.12 Fees
and Certain Other Payments.
(a) All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for
distribution. Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
(b) The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in each case for its own account, an agency fee and such
other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times (including fees payable on the Effective Date) separately agreed upon between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Agent Fee Letter.
(c) The
Borrower agrees to pay all premiums, fees and other amounts to the applicable Lenders in the amount and at the times (including amounts
payable on the Effective Date) separately agreed as between the Borrower and Deutsche Bank and set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.13 Interest.
(a) The
Loans shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, all outstanding
principal amounts of each Loan and any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder that is not paid when due shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% per annum plus the Applicable Rate (including, without limitation, for the purposes of Article 317
of the Spanish Commercial Code).
(d) Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or
prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment.
(e) Any
interest accruing under Section 2.13(c) shall be also considered as procedural default interest (interés
de mora procesal) for the purposes of Article 576.1 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law (or such other similar provision as may
replace it in the future).
80
(f) All
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or
interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day
on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,
provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.18,
bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.14 [Reserved].
Section 2.15 Increased
Costs.
(a) If
any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or
(ii) impose
on any Lender or the applicable market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement
made by such Lender therein; or
(iii) subject
any Lender to any Taxes on its Loans, letters of credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the actual cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan)
or to increase the actual cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered,
provided that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules,
guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Basel
III after the Effective Date, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to
the extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers under the other syndicated credit facilities that such
Lender is a lender under. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) will not apply to (A) Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes.
(b) If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company
with respect to liquidity or capital adequacy), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually
suffered.
(c) A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company in reasonable
detail, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered
to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s
right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
81
Section 2.16 [Reserved].
Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements
of Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such withholdings
or deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax,
the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made
(including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) a Lender (or, in the case
of a payment received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(b) Without
limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with Requirements of Law.
(c) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
(d) Each
Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent
for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable
to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of
a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes
the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise
payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this
paragraph (d).
(e) As
soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt or certificate issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment (or for Spanish tax law purposes, in which case any Spanish Loan Party shall also issue the corresponding
withholding tax certificate), a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent.
(f) Each
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (i) as will permit any payments to such Lender to be made without, or at a
reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse of time or change in circumstances
renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
82
Without limiting the foregoing:
(1) Each
Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.
(2) Each
Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time
to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms)
claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(B) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
(C) in
the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1, P-2,
P-3 and P-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any
successor forms),
(D) to
the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly
completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied
by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required
information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(f) if
such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)),
or
(E) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a
basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under
the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(3) If
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed
by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA
and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (3),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.
83
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
clause (f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible
to deliver.
(g) If
the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded
hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with
the Borrower in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Borrower; provided that (a) the Administrative
Agent or such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense
or otherwise be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) the Borrower pays all related expenses of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, as applicable, and (c) the Borrower indemnifies the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for any
liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge. The Administrative Agent or a Lender shall claim
any refund that it determines is reasonably available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely
affected by making such a claim. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as
to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17,
it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall,
at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to
repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may
delete any information therein that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
this Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available
its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
(h) Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation
provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(f).
(i) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(j) In
respect of VAT:
84
(1) All
amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by a party to this Agreement to a Secured Party which (in whole or in part) constitute
the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly,
subject to (I) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party to any party to this Agreement under
a Loan Document and such party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, such party must pay to such Secured
Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT
(and such Secured Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).
(I) If
VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Secured
Party (the “Receiving Party”) under a Loan Document, and any party to this Agreement other than the Receiving
Party (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration
for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Receiving Party in respect of that consideration):
(a) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also
pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Receiving Party
must (where (a) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiving Party receives
from the relevant tax authority which the Receiving Party reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (b) (where
the Receiving Party is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following
demand from the Receiving Party, pay to the Receiving Party an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent
that the Receiving Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect
of that VAT.
(2) Where
a Loan Document requires any party to this Agreement to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, such party shall
reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof
as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party reasonably determines that it (or any group, or a representative member
of a group, of which that Party is a member) is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(3) Any
reference in this Section 2.17(j) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a
group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference
to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (as
provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European
Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a
party shall be construed as a reference to such party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member
for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the
relevant time (as the case may be).
(4) In
relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Secured Party, such
party must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of such party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably
requested in connection with such Secured Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
85
Section 2.18 Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a) The
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts
payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required
hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 p.m., New
York City time), on the date when due, in dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received
after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the
Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03
shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified
therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day,
the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding
two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or prepayments
of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, all payments of accrued interest payable on a Loan shall
be made in dollars, and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.
(b) If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all applicable amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of applicable interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the applicable amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties.
(c) If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest
on any of its Loans of a given Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount
of its Loans of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans
of the same Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
of such Class of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably
in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class; provided
that
(i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and
(ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to
(A) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement,
(B) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant or
(C) any
disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration
date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders
that have consented to any such extension.
86
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,
to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b),
Section 2.06(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.19 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event that
gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or
mitigate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies
of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.
(b) If
(i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23,
or (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment
and delegation), provided that
(A) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under
Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consents, in each case, shall
not unreasonably be withheld or delayed,
(B) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal
and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts),
87
(C) the
Borrower or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in
Section 9.04(b)(ii) and
(D) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payment required to be
made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.23, such assignment will result
in a material reduction in such compensation or payments.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action
taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant
to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make
such assignment need not be a party thereto.
Section 2.20 Incremental
Credit Extension.
(a) The
Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party may at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, by prior written notice (which such notice shall set forth the material terms of such Incremental Facilities (including
whether such Incremental Facilities are intended to be fungible with any other Class or type of Loan)) to the Administrative Agent
request one or more additional Classes of term loans or additional term loans of the same Class of any existing Class of term
loans (the “Incremental Term Loans” or the “Incremental Facilities”); provided
that, subject to Section 1.07, after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment referred
to below and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made or effected, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
or would result therefrom (except, in the case of the incurrence or provision of any Incremental Facility in connection with a Permitted
Acquisition or other Investment not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, which shall be subject to no Event of Default under clause
(a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Facilities incurred after the Effective Date shall
not at the time of incurrence of any such Incremental Facilities (and after giving effect to such incurrence) exceed the Incremental
Cap at such time (calculated in a manner consistent with the definition of “Incremental Cap”).
(b) Each
Incremental Facility shall comply with the following clauses (A) through (F):
(A) the
maturity date of any Incremental Facility shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the
Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans,
(B) the
pricing (including any “MFN” or other pricing terms), interest rate margins, rate floors, fees, premiums (including
prepayment premiums), funding discounts and, subject to clause (A), the maturity and amortization schedule for any Incremental
Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Lenders,
(C) (i) the
Incremental Facilities shall be secured solely by the Collateral on an equal and ratable basis (or a junior basis, subject to the relevant
Intercreditor Agreement(s)) with the Secured Obligations or unsecured, and
(ii) no
Incremental Facility shall be guaranteed by entities other than the Guarantors or the Borrower,
(D) the
terms and provisions (other than upfront fees) of any Incremental Facility shall be the same as the Term Loans (except to the extent
such differing terms (which shall be more favorable to the Lenders as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent) are conformed
(or added) in this Agreement for the benefit of the Term Loans pursuant to an amendment thereto (with no consent of the Lenders being
required)); provided that, to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant or any other covenant is added for the
benefit of any Incremental Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any of the Term Lenders to the extent
that such financial maintenance covenant or other covenant is (1) also added for the benefit of any existing Loans or (2) only
applicable after the Latest Maturity Date; provided, further, that a certificate of a Responsible Officer
shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent certifying that the requirements of this Section 2.20 have been satisfied and complied
with, on which the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely without inquiry or liability.
88
(E) such
Incremental Facility may be provided in any currency as mutually agreed among the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the applicable
Additional Lenders; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Facility that (1) is secured by the Collateral
and ranks equal in priority of right of security and payment with the Term Loans (but without regard to the control of remedies), (2) is
incurred prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date and (3) is in the form of term loans (but not debt securities),
in the event that the Effective Yield for any Incremental Facility is greater than the Effective Yield for the Term Loans by more than
0.50% per annum, then the Effective Yield for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Effective Yield for
the Term Loans is equal to the Effective Yield for the Incremental Facility minus 0.50% per annum (the “MFN Protection”),
and
(F) each
Incremental Facility shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree); provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000, if
such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities set forth above.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Each
notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall set forth the requested amount of the relevant Incremental
Term Loans.
(f) Commitments
in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender
agreeing to provide such Commitment (provided that no Lender shall be obligated to provide any loans or commitments under
any Incremental Facility unless it so agrees), if any, each additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. Incremental Term
Loans shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Incremental Facility
Amendment may without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may
be necessary, appropriate or advisable (including changing the amortization schedule or extending the call protection of existing Term
Loans in a manner required to make the Incremental Term Loans fungible with such Term Loans), in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative
Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20.
The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment and the occurrence of any credit event (including the making of a Loan thereunder)
pursuant to such Incremental Facility Amendment may be subject to the satisfaction of such additional conditions as the parties thereto
shall agree. The Borrower and any Subsidiary may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this
Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, this Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02
to the contrary.
Section 2.21 Refinancing
Amendments.
(a) At
any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness
in respect of all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause
will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans), in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments, in each
case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that the Net Proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness
shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Term Loans; provided,
further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any
additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof
and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness
is issued, incurred or obtained. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.21
shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans and (y) an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (in each case unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree). The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto
hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only
to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto
(including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Commitments).
Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Lenders providing the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness,
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section.
89
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, this Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02
to the contrary.
Section 2.22 [Reserved].
Section 2.23 [Reserved].
Section 2.24 Loan
Modification Offers.
(a) At
any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one
or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject
to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments relating
to such Affected Class pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower (including mechanics to permit conversions, cashless rollovers and exchanges by Lenders and other repayments and reborrowings
of Loans of Accepting Lenders or Non-Accepting Lenders replaced in accordance with this Section 2.24). Such notice
shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted
Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments
of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting
Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such
Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.
(b) A

permitted by Section 6.05.
Section 5.05 Payment
of Taxes, Etc. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, pay its obligations in respect of Taxes before the same

Section 5.07 Insurance.
The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, maintain, with insurance companies that the Borrower believes (in the good faith
judgment of the management of the Borrower) are financially sound and responsible at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed,
insurance in at least such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance which the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment
of management of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business) and against at least such risks
(and with such risk retentions) as the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) are reasonable
and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business; and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from the Administrative
Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried. Within 30 days after the Effective Date (or such later
date as the Required Lenders may reasonably agree), each such policy of insurance maintained by a Loan Party shall (i) name the
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (ii) in
the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a lender’s loss payable/mortgagee clause or endorsement that names the Collateral

and account in which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity with GAAP (or applicable
local standards) consistently applied shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business
of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be. The Borrower will, and will cause the Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives
designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and
make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants,
all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested; provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections
during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise visitation and inspection
rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 5.08 and the Administrative Agent shall not
exercise such rights more often than one time during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default, which visitation
and inspection shall be at the reasonable expense of the Borrower; provided, further that (a) when an
Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors)
may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice
and (b) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with
the Borrower’s independent public accountants.
Section 5.09 Compliance
with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, comply with its Organizational Documents and all Requirements
of Law (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, USA Patriot Act, OFAC, FCPA and the United Kingdom Bribery Act 2010) with respect to it
or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The undertakings set forth in this Section 5.09 shall not apply to the extent that they would
violate or expose any Loan Party or any of its directors, officers or employees to any liability under any applicable Blocking Law.
Section 5.10 Use

Subsidiary is formed or acquired (including, without limitation, upon the formation of any Subsidiary that is a Delaware Divided LLC)
(unless such Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary), notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and will cause such Subsidiary and the other
Loan Parties to take all actions (if any) required to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement with respect to such Subsidiary
and with respect to any Equity Interest in or Indebtedness of such Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party within 30 days
after such notice (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably agree). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case
of any Subsidiary that is (or on becoming a Subsidiary Loan Party would be) an Approved Foreign Guarantor, the relevant period shall
be the later of 90 days after such notice and the Post-Closing Security Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably agree). Furthermore, in case of a Foreign Approved Subsidiary incorporated in Spain that is formed or acquired after the Effective
Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Schedule 5.14 (Post-Closing Matters) shall have been satisfied within 60 days after such

and take all such further actions (including the filing, delivery and/or recording of financing statements, pledge notices, fixture filings,

acquired (including, without limitation, any acquisition pursuant to a Delaware LLC Division) by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
or are held by any Subsidiary on or after the time it becomes a Loan Party pursuant to Section 5.11 (other than assets
constituting Collateral under a Security Document that become subject to the Lien created by such Security Document upon acquisition
thereof or constituting Excluded Assets), the Borrower will notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Collateral
Agent, the Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and will take and cause the other
Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, in each case consistent
with the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (a) of
this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties and subject to the last paragraph of the definition of the term “Collateral
and Guarantee Requirement.”

extensions thereof or otherwise incidental, complementary, reasonably related or ancillary to any of the foregoing.
Section 5.17 Changes
in Fiscal Periods. The Borrower shall not make any change in its fiscal year; provided, however,
that the Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, change its fiscal year to any other fiscal year reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), in which case, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
will, and are hereby authorized by the Lenders to, make any adjustments to this Agreement that are necessary to reflect such change in
fiscal year.

and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one or more of the above clauses; provided
that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Loan Documents will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance only on the exception in
clause (a)(i); provided, further, if any such portion of such Indebtedness could, based
on the financial statements for such Test Period, have been incurred in reliance on Section 6.01(a)(xix) or (xxviii),

If Indebtedness originally
incurred in reliance upon a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the First and Second Lien Leverage Ratio,
the Secured Leverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio under any clause of this Section 6.01 is being refinanced under
any clause of this Section 6.01 and such refinancing would cause the maximum amount of Indebtedness thereunder to
be exceeded at such time, then such refinancing will nevertheless be permitted thereunder and such additional Indebtedness will be deemed
to have been incurred, and permitted to be incurred, under such applicable clause, so long as the principal amount of such refinancing
Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of Indebtedness being refinanced plus amounts permitted by the next sentence. Any such
refinancing Indebtedness shall be permitted to include additional Indebtedness incurred to pay premiums (including tender premiums),
defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, dividends and fees, costs and expenses (including upfront fees,
original issue discount or similar fees) in connection with such refinancing.
Accrual of interest or dividends,
the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in
the form of additional Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity Interests will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or Disqualified
Equity Interests for purposes of this covenant.

respect than the restrictions and conditions in the Loan Documents or, in the case of Junior Financing, are market terms at the time
of issuance and (B) clause (ix) above, such restrictions shall not expand the scope in any material respect of
any such restriction or condition contained in the Indebtedness being refinanced;

if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of such options or warrants or required withholding or similar taxes.
For purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 6.08(a), in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) meets
the criteria of clauses (i) through (xiii) above (or any sub-clause therein), the Borrower will
be entitled to classify or later reclassify (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification) such Restricted Payment

manner that otherwise complies with this Section 6.08(a).
(b) The

(iv) prepayments,
redemptions, purchases, defeasances and other payments in respect of Junior Financings prior to their scheduled maturity not to exceed

the making of such prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other payment; provided, that no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom;
(v) [reserved];
(vi) [reserved];
and
(vii) in
connection with the consummation of the Transactions.
For purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 6.08(b), in the event that a proposed prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance and

herein to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.08 will not prohibit the payment of any Restricted
Payment or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption, purchase, defeasance or other payment within 60 days after the date of declaration

Entity but for such Parent Entity’s or a Subsidiary’s ownership of Equity Interests in such joint venture or Subsidiary)
to the extent permitted hereunder.
Section 6.10 Designation
of Senior Debt. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, designate any Indebtedness, other than
the Loan Document Obligations as “Designated Senior Indebtedness” (or any comparable term enabling the holders
thereof to issue payment blockages and exercise other remedies in connection therewith or related thereto) under and as defined in the
Indentures and any documentation with respect to any other subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries.
Section 6.11 Modifications
to Material Agreements and Organizational Documents.
(a) The
Borrower shall not permit any Intercompany Agreement to be amended, modified, supplemented or otherwise changed in any manner material
and adverse to the Lenders in their capacity as such; provided, however, that the Intercompany Agreements
may be amended, modified, supplemented or otherwise changed as may be required by law or applicable regulations; provided,
further, that nothing in this Section 6.11(a) shall restrict the termination of any Intercompany
Agreement at any time in the sole discretion of the Borrower.
122
(b) The
Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend, modify or change in any manner that is material and adverse
to the interests of the Lenders any term or condition of any of their Organizational Documents.
Section 6.12 Up-Tiering
Transactions. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into (a) any Up-Tiering Transaction
involving Existing LMT Debt or (b) any transaction designed to circumvent this Section 6.12. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the foregoing limitation shall not apply so long as such New LMT Debt is offered ratably to each directly and adversely
affected Lender on the same terms and conditions (excluding any Ancillary Fees) as any Lender (or Affiliate of any such Lender) is offered;
provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such opportunity (including any fees (other than Ancillary Fees) available
prior to the closing thereof) may be provided in connection with a post-closing syndication of such New LMT Debt.
Section 6.13 Anti-Layering.
The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the Loan Parties to, create, incur, assume or otherwise permit to exist any Indebtedness
secured by a Lien on any Collateral which Lien ranks (a) junior in priority to any Liens on such Collateral securing any First Lien
Obligations and (b) senior in priority to any Lien on such Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, except the Muvico 2L Notes
outstanding on the Effective Date solely with respect to the Collateral pledged by the AMC Grantors, subject to the terms of the AMC
First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness secured by a Lien that is pari passu in
priority (or the same Lien as) a Lien securing other Indebtedness but senior to such other Indebtedness in order of application pursuant
to any waterfall or similar contractual provision shall be deemed to be secured by a Lien that ranks senior to the Lien that secures
such other Indebtedness.

(l) to
the extent unremedied for a period of 10 Business Days (in respect of a default under clause (x) only), any Lien
purported to be created under any Security Document (x) shall cease to be, or (y) shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to

event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any
time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall,
by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times:
(i) terminate
the applicable Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately,

or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that a restatement of historical
financial statements shall not result in a Default hereunder (whether pursuant to Section 7.01(c) as it relates
to a representation made with respect to such financial statements (including any interim unaudited financial statements) or pursuant
to Section 7.01(d) as it relates to delivery requirements for financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01)
to the extent that such restatement does not reveal any material adverse difference in the financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the previously reported information from actual results reflected in such restatement
for any relevant prior period.
126
Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing in this Section 7.01, it is understood and agreed that if the Loan Document Obligations are accelerated
as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph
(h) or (i) of this Section 7.01 or upon the occurrence or commencement of any bankruptcy,
insolvency proceeding, receivership or other similar proceeding in respect of any Loan Party (including the acceleration of claims by
operation of law)), the Loan Document Obligations that become due and payable shall include the premium (if any) above par, including
the Applicable Premium, that would have been due on such date if the Term Loans were optionally prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11(a) on
such date, which shall become immediately due and payable by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and shall constitute part of the
Loan Document Obligations as if the Term Loans were being optionally redeemed or repaid as of such date, in view of the impracticability
and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a good faith reasonable estimate and
calculation of each Lender’s lost profits and/or actual damages as a result thereof. The Applicable Premium (if any) shall also
be automatically and immediately due and payable upon the satisfaction, release, payment, restructuring, reorganization, replacement,
reinstatement, defeasance or compromise of any of the Loan Document Obligations in any bankruptcy, insolvency proceeding, receivership
or other similar proceeding, foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise) or deed in lieu of foreclosure or the
making of a distribution of any kind in any bankruptcy, insolvency proceeding, receivership or other similar proceeding to any Agent,
for the account of the Secured Parties in full or partial satisfaction of the Loan Document Obligations. The Applicable Premium (if any)
payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early
repayment or prepayment of the Term Loans (and not unmatured interest or a penalty) and the Borrower, and other Loan Parties agree that
it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH OF THE BORROWER, AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT
THE COLLECTION OF THE APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each of the Borrower, and the other Loan Parties expressly
agree (to the fullest extent they may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and the product of an arm’s-length
transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding
the then prevailing market rates at the time payment or redemption is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders,
the Borrower, and the other Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium;
(D) any such Loan Party shall not challenge or question, or support any other Person in challenging or questioning, the validity
or enforceability of the Applicable Premium or any similar or comparable prepayment fee, and such Loan Party shall be estopped from raising
or relying on any judicial decision or ruling questioning the validity or enforceability of any prepayment fee similar or comparable
to the Applicable Premium, and (E) the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently
than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay
or guarantee the payment of the Applicable Premium to the Lenders as herein described are individually and collectively a material inducement
to Lenders to make available (or be deemed to make available) the Loans hereunder.
Section 7.02 [Reserved].
Section 7.03 Application
of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 7.01, any amounts received on account
of the Secured Obligations shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.02 of the Pledge
and Security Agreement and/or the similar provisions in the other Security Documents.
Section 7.04 Spanish
Insolvency Law. After the occurrence of an insolvency event in relation to a Spanish Loan Party or a Loan Party having its centre
of main interest (as that term is used in Article 3(1) of the Council of the European Union Regulation No. 2015/848 on
Insolvency Proceedings) in Spain, if any of the Lenders is held to be a “specially related person” pursuant to article 93
of the Spanish Insolvency Law in relation to article 92.5 thereof (a “Specially Related Lender”), and as a
result of which the claims of such Specially Related Lender under this Agreement are considered to be subordinated claims for the purposes
of insolvency proceedings (a “Subordinated Claim”), all payments received by the Lenders (other than any Specially
Related Lender) not related to Subordinated Claims shall be distributed in their entirety among all of the Lenders with respect to such
insolvency proceedings (other than any Specially Related Lender) in proportion to their respective participation and in accordance with
the terms set out in this Agreement. In turn, all payments received by a Specially Related Lender related to a Subordinated Claim shall
be distributed exclusively to such Specially Related Lender.

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL
AGENT
Section 8.01 Appointment
and Authority.
(a) Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association to serve as Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such actions and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms of the Loan Documents, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, by execution hereof, each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints (and, if applicable, agrees to appoint by separate accession agreement) U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to serve as the Collateral Agent for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing
any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents
and acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent is authorized to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated
to it by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article (other than resignation and Collateral and Guaranty matters) are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and none of the Borrower, or any other Loan Party
shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision. The use of the term “agent” herein and in the other
Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied
(or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market
custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The duties
of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed
or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs (i) each Agent to execute
and deliver on behalf of such Lender, and agrees to be bound by, each Loan Document contemplated to be executed and delivered by any
Agent in connection herewith or therewith, and (ii) the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver a Creditor/Agent Accession Undertaking
(as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in the form attached as Schedule 2 to the Intercreditor Agreement.
(b) Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender under the Loan Documents
for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of
the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral
Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.05
for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for
exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions
of this Article VIII and Article IX (including the second paragraph of Section 9.03), as
though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “security agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth
in full herein with respect thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, privileges,
immunities and indemnities of the Administrative Agent, and all references in this Article VIII to the Administrative Agent
with respect to such rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities shall include the Collateral Agent for such purpose. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to (i) subject
to Section 8.10, execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of
the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security
Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders and (ii) subject to Sections 8.09
and 9.02, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting
the Lenders in their capacity as such, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender. Solely with respect
to any rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Collateral Agent, to the extent of any inconsistency between the Intercreditor
Agreement and this Agreement, the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Collateral Agent set forth in this Agreement
shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Loan Document to the contrary, (x) in no event shall the Collateral Agent
be liable to the Secured Parties for any Claim (as defined below) occurring, accruing or arising prior to the date of this Agreement;
and (y) the powers conferred upon the Collateral Agent under any Security Document are solely to protect the Secured Parties’
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on the Collateral Agent to exercise such powers.
128
(c) Each
Loan Party hereby releases the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to the extent possible from any restrictions on representing
several persons and self-dealing applicable to it under any applicable law, in particular pursuant to Section 181 of the German
Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). To the extent legally possible, each Secured Party (including each Person that becomes
a Secured Party after the date hereof) hereby releases each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent from any applicable
restrictions on entering into any transaction as a representative of (i) two or more principals contracting with each other and
(ii) one or more principals with whom it is contracting in its own name, including, without limitation, the restrictions set out
in section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and any equivalent restrictions under any applicable law.
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall, to the extent possible, have the authority to grant an exception from the restrictions
of section 181 of the German Civil Code and any equivalent restrictions under any applicable law to any co-agent, sub-agent and attorney-in-fact.
Section 8.02 Rights
as a Lender. Each Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity
as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender”
or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving
as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Each such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders.

in a final and nonappealable judgment); provided that any action or inaction taken at the direction of the Required Lenders (or

the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this
Agreement, and shall not have any liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Administrative Agent’s

the Lenders as expressly required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) to take such action or to exercise such rights. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require any Agent to exercise any discretionary acts and any permissive
grant of power to any Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act.
The Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” is received by a responsible officer
of the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or a Lender.
Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any
of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall
from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
The rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to each Agent, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable: (i) by such Agent in each Loan Document and any other document related hereto or thereto to which it is a party and
(ii) the entity serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each of its capacities hereunder and in each
of its capacities under any of the Loan Documents whether or not specifically set forth therein and each agent, custodian and other Person
employed to act hereunder and under any Loan Document or related document, as the case may be.
131
Each Lender, by delivering
its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of,
and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory
to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.
Section 8.04 Reliance
by the Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability
for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to have been made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled
to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage
of Lenders as may be required by any Loan Document in any instance) as it deems appropriate and, if it so reasonably requests, confirmation
from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify it against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the
Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. If an Agent is served with any judicial or administrative
order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process which in any way affects such Agent (including orders
of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of collateral), such Agent is
authorized to comply therewith in any manner it deems appropriate and such Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties to the Loan
Documents or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or
vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.
Section 8.05 Delegation
of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise its rights
and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents, co-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed
by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent,
co-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of their duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective
Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII (and the indemnification provisions of Section 9.03)
shall apply to any such sub-agent, co-agents or attorneys-in-fact and to the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, co-agent or attorney-in-fact and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent, as applicable. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any sub-agents, co-agents or attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and
non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents, co-agents or attorneys-in-fact.
132
Section 8.06 Resignation
of Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent may be removed by the Required Lenders upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation or upon such removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s
consent (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has
occurred and is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to appoint a successor, which shall
be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf
of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate
of any such bank with an office in the United States (the date upon which the retiring Administrative Agent is replaced or removed, the
“Resignation Effective Date”).
With effect from the Resignation
Effective Date
(1) the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the
Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations) and
(2) except
for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until
such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the powers granted in Section 8.13
below) (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation
Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in this Section. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed within
30 days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent or such notice of removal was given by the Required
Lenders, unless the retiring or removed Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in writing, the Administrative Agent’s resignation
shall nonetheless become effective and, except as provided in the immediately following sentence, the Required Lenders shall thereafter
be authorized to perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document (and, in connection therewith,
shall have all of the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document) until such
time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. The retiring Administrative Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and except for any indemnity payments or other
amounts then owing to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made
by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 8.06. The fees payable by the Borrower
to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents, co-agents and attorneys-in-fact, and their respective Related Parties in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative
Agent.
133

on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that
it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions
in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending
facility, (ii) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other
facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose
of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrower, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other
type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such
as a claim under the federal or state securities laws), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Agent, or any Lender or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and
to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial
loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising
discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced
in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.
Section 8.08 No
Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent listed

except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, or Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any debtor relief law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due
and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise:
(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders
and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.12
and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, receiver and manager,
interim receiver, monitor, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.12
and 9.03.
Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Lender, or to authorize
the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.
134
Section 8.10 Collateral
and Guaranty Matters. No Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee
of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised
solely by the applicable Agent on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral
Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Agent, either directly or through one or
more acquisition vehicles, or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other
disposition, and the Administrative Agent (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), as agent for and representative
of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise
agree in writing) shall be entitled (at the direction of the Required Lenders), for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment
of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any or all of the Secured
Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders
at such sale or other disposition. Each Lender, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the
Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.
Each Lender party to this
Agreement hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the relevant
Security Documents.
Section 8.11 [Reserved].
Section 8.12 Erroneous
Payments.
(a) Each
Lender hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf
of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party (other than any Agent) or other recipient, a “Erroneous Payment
Recipient”) in writing that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion that the Administrative
Agent or its Affiliates mistakenly transmitted funds to such Erroneous Payment Recipient, as a result of a clerical, mechanical, technological
or other error, whether or not known to such Erroneous Payment Recipient (any such funds, whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment
of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands
in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event
later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion
thereof) as to which such a written demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received). Each Erroneous Payment Recipient
agrees not to assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off
or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments
received, including any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. A notice from the Administrative
Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.12(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without
limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it (or an Erroneous Payment Recipient
on its behalf) receives a payment from the Administrative Agent (x) in a different amount or on a different date than the amount
or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent with respect to such payment, (y) that was not preceded
or accompanied by a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party (or Erroneous Payment
Recipient on its behalf) otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in
each case, such Lender or Secured Party shall presume that an error has been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative
Agent) and shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative
Agent of its receipt of such payment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 8.12(b).
(c) Each
Erroneous Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any amounts at any time owing to such
Erroneous Payment Recipient under any Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the preceding clause
(a).
135
(d) The
Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered
from any Erroneous Payment Recipient (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 8.12),
the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Erroneous Payment Recipient with respect to such amount (such
rights, the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay,
repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Loan Document Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party. If the amount of any
Erroneous Payment is subsequently recovered by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates, the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate
shall return to the applicable Erroneous Payment Recipient either (x) the Loans acquired pursuant to this clause (d) or
(y) if applicable, the proceeds of such Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and for the avoidance
of doubt, in no event shall the occurrence of an Erroneous Payment (or any Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights or other rights of the
Administrative Agent in respect of an Erroneous Payment) result in the Administrative Agent becoming or being deemed to be a Lender hereunder
or the holder of any Loans hereunder.
(e) In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by law, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without
prior notice to any Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect
to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 8.12 and which has not been
returned to the Administrative Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in
any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the
Administrative Agent or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender. The Administrative
Agent agrees to promptly notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by the Administrative Agent; provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
(f) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Loan Document Obligations (or any portion
thereof) under any Loan Document.
Section 8.13 Spanish
Law Security Documents Matters.
Each of the Secured Parties
irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, without obligation at its option and in its discretion and in accordance with the Loan Documents,
to, in their name and on their behalf,
(a) execute, deliver
and perform (even if it involves delegation or sub-empowerment, substitution, self-contracting (autocontratación), multi-representation
or conflict of interest), each of the Loan Documents to which the Collateral Agent, is or is intended to be a party to; and/or
(b) at the written direction
of the Required Lenders, on its own or through a sub-agent to (A) enter into and/or raise to the status of a Spanish Public Document
any document related to this appointment and, specifically, those deemed necessary or appropriate by the Secured Parties (including,
but not limited to, documents of formalization, acknowledgment, confirmation, modification or release, acceptance of any security interest
and acceptance of acknowledgment of debts by the Loan Parties), (B) execute, sign, ratify, raise to the status of a Spanish Public
Document (including the notarization of any assignment or transfer), modify, restate, novate, amend, extend, totally or partially assign,
transfer, fulfill, grant, release, waive or cancel this Agreement, any Spanish law governed Security Document and any other Loan Document;
(C) perform any duties or obligations and enforce any rights and powers under this Agreement, any Spanish law governed Security
Document or any other Loan Document, as well as any rights or powers in connection therewith; (D) appear before a notary public
and accept, execute, amend, assign, transfer or ratify any type of guarantee or security, or irrevocable power of attorney, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, whether personal or real, granted in favor of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents (whether in its own
capacity or as agent of other parties) over any and all shares, rights, receivables, goods and chattels, fixing their price for the purposes
of an auction and the address for serving of notices and submitting to the jurisdiction of law courts by waiving its own forum, and release
such guarantees or security, all of the foregoing under the terms and conditions which the Required Lenders may agree, and/or sign any
Spanish Public Documents that the Required Lenders may deem fit; (E) ratify any such private or Spanish Public Document in the name
or on behalf of the Secured Parties; (F) execute any and all deeds, documents, and carry out any and all acts and things, required
in connection with the execution of any Loan Documents, or the execution of any further Spanish Public Document of amendment (escritura
pública de rectificación o subsanación) that may be required for the purpose or in connection with the power granted
in this Section 8.13; (G) execute in the name of any of the Secured Parties any novation, amendment or ratification to any
Loan Document and appear before a notary public and raise into the status of a Spanish Public Document such documents; and (H) carry
out, execute, effect and perform all the actions that may be necessary or convenient for the purposes of complying with the purpose of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, the granting of any public and/or, private document and/or
any action required for the purposes of enforcing in Spain any Security Document or any Spanish law governed Security Document. The powers
conferred upon each Agent in this Section 8.13 are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and
shall not impose on any Agent any duty to exercise such powers
136
Each Secured Party undertakes
to the Collateral Agent that, promptly upon request, such Secured Party will ratify and confirm all transactions entered into and other
actions by the Collateral Agent (or any of its substitutes or delegates) in the proper exercise of the power granted to it hereunder.
It is hereby agreed that the relationship of the Secured Parties to the Collateral Agent in relation to any Spanish law governed Security
Document shall be construed as one of principal and agent. The Collateral granted under the Spanish law governed Security Documents will
be granted in favor of each and every Secured Party (represented or acting through the Collateral Agent, in its condition as collateral
agent, by means of the faculties included herein) to secure the Secured Obligations (expressly excluding any parallel debt structure)
and shall not be held on trust unless expressly permitted by law. Nevertheless, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to accept the
Collateral granted under the Spanish law governed Security Documents in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties by virtue of the
powers (mandato) granted in this Section 8.13.

Each Loan Party agrees that
the Administrative Agent may make notices and other communications available to the Lender Parties by posting the notices or communications
on the Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW)
DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY
FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE COMPANY MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR
OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy or completeness of the information contained on the Platform or the adequacy of
the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the information contained on the Platform. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability
to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind whether or not based
on strict liability and including, without limitation, direct damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising
out of the Borrower’s, any other Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Company Materials or notices
or communications through the Platform, any other electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses have been found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction
to have resulted primarily from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties,
as applicable. Each party hereto agrees that no Agent has any responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services
or any testing required in connection with any Communication or otherwise required for the Platform. In no event shall any Agent or any

Loan Party understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality

138
The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including Borrowing Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of
the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed
by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof.
Section 9.02 Waivers;
Amendments.
(a) No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance
of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver
of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Except
as expressly provided herein, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, (x) in
the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders,
(y) in the case of the Fee Letter, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and Deutsche Bank,
or (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative
Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case (other than the Fee Letter) with the consent of or at
the direction of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall
(i) increase
the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that the waiver of any Default, Event of
Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment
of any Lender);
(ii) reduce
the principal amount of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory
reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or
reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided
that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest pursuant
to Section 2.13(c);
(iii) postpone
the maturity of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction
of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension of any maturity date), or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the
principal amount of any Loan hereunder or under the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Agreement, or any date for
the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled
date of expiration of any Commitment, or add or change any grace period under Sections 7.01(a) or 7.01(b) (with
respect to the payment of any interest), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;
139
(iv) change
any of the provisions of this Section without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided
that any such change which is in favor of a Class of Lenders holding Loans maturing after the maturity of other Classes of Lenders
(and only takes effect after the maturity of such other Classes of Loans or Commitments) will require the written consent of each Lender
with respect to each Class directly and adversely affected thereby;
(v) lower
the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as
the case may be);
(vi) (A) release
all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guaranty (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) without
the written consent of each Lender or (B) amend, modify, terminate or waive the last paragraph of Section 9.15
without the written consent of each Lender;
(vii) release
all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender (except
as expressly provided in the Loan Documents);
(viii) change
the currency in which any Loan is denominated, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(ix) change
(A) any of the provisions of Section 7.03, or Section 4.02 of the Pledge and Security Agreement
and/or the similar “waterfall” provisions in the other Security Documents referred to therein or (B) Section 2.18(c),
in each case without the written consent of each Lender;
(x) (A) amend,
modify, terminate or waive Section 6.01(a)(iv) without the written consent of each Lender or (B) permit
the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt any “debtor-in-possession” facility
pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar financing under applicable law) and no Lender or the Agent shall consent
to the incurrence of such facility) with respect to which all or any portion of the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated in
right of payment or Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated
(any such other Indebtedness to which the Loan Document Obligations are subordinated in right of payment or such Liens securing any of
the Loan Document Obligations are subordinated, “Specified Indebtedness”), unless each Lender has been offered
a bona fide opportunity to fund or otherwise provide its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of the Loan Document Obligations
held by each Lender that are adversely affected thereby) of the Specified Indebtedness on the same terms (other than bona fide backstop
fees and reimbursement of counsel fees and other expenses in connection with the negotiation of the terms of such transaction; such fees
and expenses, “Ancillary Fees”) as offered to any providers (or their Affiliates) of the Specified Indebtedness
and to the extent such adversely affected Lender decides to participate in the Specified Indebtedness, receive its pro rata share of
the fees and any other similar benefit (other than Ancillary Fees) of the Specified Indebtedness afforded to the providers of the Specified
Indebtedness (or any of their Affiliates) in connection with providing the Specified Indebtedness without the written consent of each
Lender; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such opportunity (including any fees (other than bona fide backstop
fees) available prior to the closing thereof) may be provided in connection with a post-closing syndication of the Specified Indebtedness;
140
(xi) amend,
modify or waive any provision of the Loan Documents in a manner that would permit any Subsidiary to be designated as an “Unrestricted
Subsidiary” or permit the transfer of any assets (including by Disposition, Investment or Restricted Payments) to “Unrestricted
Subsidiaries” or otherwise permit the creation or existence of, or transfer of any assets (including by Disposition, Investment
or Restricted Payments) to, a Subsidiary otherwise not subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents (it being acknowledged that no
Subsidiary is an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” hereunder as of the Effective Date) without the written consent of each Lender;
(xii) authorize
additional Indebtedness that would be issued under the Loan Documents for the purpose of influencing voting thresholds without the written
consent of each Lender;
(xiii) amend,
modify, terminate or waive the last paragraph of Section 6.05 or Section 6.12 without the written
consent of each Lender;
(xiv) permit
the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any non-cash consideration (or any consideration deemed to be cash consideration)
except as permitted under this Agreement as of the Effective Date without the consent of each Lender;
(xv) amend,
modify or waive the definition of “Maturity Date” without the written consent of each Lender;
(xvi) any
waiver, amendment or modification to any provision requiring all Indebtedness owed by any Loan Party to a Subsidiary that is not a Loan
Party to be unsecured and subordinated without the written consent of each Lender; and
(xvii) amend,
modify or waive Section 9.04(g) or any other provision hereof with respect to the assignment or other transfer of any interest
in Loans through open market purchases (including privately negotiated transactions) without the written consent of each Lender.
provided, further,
that
(A) no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any amendment
of this Section,
(B) any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency and
(C) any
waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding
Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected
by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into solely by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the requisite percentage in
interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of
Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(a) subject
to subsection (b) above (including clause (xiii) thereof), this Agreement may be amended (or amended
and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more
additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the
accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to
include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same
basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion,
141
(b) this
Agreement and other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, without the need
to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting
of powers by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Collateral Agent, in each case required to create in favor of
the Collateral Agent any security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest,
where such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with the Borrower hereby agreeing to, and to cause
its subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent (at the direction
of the Required Lenders) promptly upon such request) and
(c) upon
notice thereof by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance
covenant or other covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender to include any such covenant
on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or section.
(c) In
connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring
the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change
is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose
consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible
Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that
(i) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under
Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent shall not unreasonably
be withheld,
(ii) such
Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amounts under Section 2.11(a)(i)), payable to it hereunder from
the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts) and
(iii) unless
waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified
in Section 9.04(b).
(d) In
the event a Spanish Loan Party enters into any of the arrangements in the context of an insolvency proceeding affecting that Loan Party
incorporated in Spain, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the liabilities of the remaining guarantors (both under the Guarantees
and as Collateral providers) in respect of the insolvent Loan Party incorporated in Spain shall not be affected in any way by such voluntary
arrangement even if any of the Lenders voted in favor of, or acceded to, the relevant voluntary arrangement, unless otherwise provided
by law.
(e) Without
any further consent of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to negotiate, execute and deliver
on behalf of the Secured Parties any Intercreditor Agreement in form and substance consistent with the terms hereof.
142
Section 9.03 Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) The
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, Deutsche Bank, and their respective Affiliates (without duplication), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of (w) counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, (x) counsel for Deutsche Bank (so long as Deutsche Bank
is a Lender) (which shall be the Lender Advisor), (y) to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary,
one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or such additional local counsel retained with the Borrower’s consent, in each
case for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and (z) to the extent reasonably determined by Deutsche Bank to be necessary,
one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or such additional local counsel retained with the Borrower’s consent, in each
case for Deutsche Bank (so long as Deutsche Bank is a Lender), and, to the extent retained with the Borrower’s consent, consultants,
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents
or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (including the costs of any Spanish Public Document) and (ii) all
reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and counsel for the Lenders,
in connection with the enforcement or protection of their respective rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their respective
rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during
any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans; provided that such counsel shall be limited to (1) one
firm of counsel for the Agents, (2) one firm of counsel for the Lenders taken as a whole (which, with the consent of the Lender
Advisor, shall be the Lender Advisor), (3) one local counsel for the Agents in each applicable jurisdiction, (4) one local
counsel for the Lenders taken as a whole in each applicable jurisdiction, and (5) in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional
counsel per affected party.
(b) The
Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, Deutsche Bank, and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, actions, suits, investigations, inquiries, liabilities (including legal fees, notarial costs, translation fees, the costs of
any Spanish court clerk (procurador) (even if their intervention is not mandatory), court costs (costas procesales) and
registration fees and the costs of any authorized copy with enforcement effect of any Spanish Public Document, and reasonable and documented
or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel for the Agents and their related Indemnitees, one counsel for the Lenders
and their related Indemnitees (which, with the consent of the Lender Advisor, shall be the Lender Advisor), one local counsel in each
applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower
of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel) for the Agents and one local counsel
in each applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies
the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel) for all other Indemnitees
(which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument
contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation
of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) to
the extent in any way arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials
on, at or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
or any other Environmental Liability, related to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by
a third party or by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the
gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, or (y) solely with respect to an Indemnitee other
than the Agents or any Agent’s Related Parties, the bad faith or a material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or
its Related Parties or (ii) any dispute between or among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or
any of the Subsidiaries except that each Agent and any Agent’s Related Parties shall be indemnified in their capacities as such
to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in clause (i)(x) applies to such Person at such time. This Section 9.03(b) should
not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
143
(c) To
the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent (or any of such Agent’s Related Parties)
under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally
agrees to indemnify and pay to each Agent and each Agent’s Related Parties, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, and to reimburse
and indemnify each Agent and each Agent’s Related Parties from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against such Agent or Agent’s Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by any Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents in connection with the foregoing; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
fees, charges, costs, expenses, or disbursements for which there has been a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer
subject to appeal that such liability resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For purposes hereof, a
Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate outstanding Loans and unused Commitments
at the time.
(d) To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee
(i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic
or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), provided that such indemnity shall not, (x) as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, or (y) solely
with respect to an Indemnitee other than the Agents or any Agent’s Related Parties, be available to the extent that such damages
are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the material breach of the
documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or
any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after written demand therefor; provided,
however, that any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a
final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03.
(f) The
agreements in this Section 9.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder
and the resignation or removal of any Agent.
Section 9.04 Successors
and Assigns.
(a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall
be null and void), (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of
this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
144
(b) (i) Subject
to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or
more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any assignment to a Competitor shall require the prior written consent
of the Borrower (it being understood that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for any other assignment).
(ii) Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or,
if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $100,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a),
(b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing,
(B) each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Commitment or Loan assigned, provided that this subclause (B) shall
not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect
of one Class of Commitments or Loans,
(C) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a
representation by the assignee that it meets all the requirements to be an Eligible Assignee), together (unless waived by the Administrative
Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or
Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective; and
(D) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) and
an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective
securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures
and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws and
(E) [reserved].
(iii) Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and
limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable
hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this
Section.
145
(iv) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of
each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitment of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, Deutsche Bank, and,
solely with respect to its Loans or Commitments, any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed
Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) (unless the assignee shall already
be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes
of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b).
(vi) The
words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption
shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal
effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may
be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce
Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act.
(c) (i) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons
(other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee) (a “Participant”), provided that (A) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects
such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations thereof, it being understood that any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) shall
be provided solely to the Lender that sold the participation) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08
as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(b) as
though it were a Lender.
(ii) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the
sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iii) Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register
on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish
that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes
of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no Agent (in its capacity as an Agent) shall have
any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
146
(d) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of
a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose
funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a
commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or
any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by
an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting
Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement
(all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which
agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in
full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any
other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under
the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04,
any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the payment
of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or
a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative
Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose
on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of
any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.
(f) [reserved].
(g) Assignments
of Term Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be permitted through open market purchases (including privately negotiated transactions)
and/or “Dutch auctions”, so long as (x) any offer to purchase or take by assignment (other than through open market
purchases (including privately negotiated transactions)) by such Purchasing Borrower Party shall have been made to all Term Lenders and
(y) in connection with any assignment through open market purchases (including privately negotiated transactions), the only consideration
furnished by or on behalf of such Purchasing Borrower Party shall be Qualified Equity Interests in AMC or cash (other than proceeds of
the substantially concurrent incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Specified Buy-Back Indebtedness)), or any combination thereof, and,
in each case under clauses (g)(x) or (y), so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (ii) the Term Loans purchased are immediately and automatically canceled.
147
(h) Upon
any contribution of Loans to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and upon any purchase of Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party, (A) the
aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Loans shall automatically be canceled and retired by the Borrower
on the date of such contribution or purchase and with respect to a contribution of Loans, any applicable contributing Lender shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns
its interest in such Loans to the Borrower for immediate cancellation, together with the payment of a processing fee of $3,400 (which
processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and (B) the Administrative Agent shall record
such cancellation or retirement in the Register.
(i) The
Parties irrevocably agree that, in accordance with Article 1,528 of the Spanish Civil Code, in the event of any assignment made
pursuant to and in accordance with this Section, the Guarantees and the Collateral created under any Spanish law Security Document shall
be deemed to have been automatically transferred (notwithstanding the relevant formalities required to perfect such transfer in any jurisdiction,
if any) to the relevant assignee, as new Lender. At the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, each of the assignee Lender and
the assigning Lender (at their own cost) shall promptly raise the duly completed Assignment and Assumption to the status of a Spanish
Public Document.
Section 9.05 Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties
hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation
made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement
is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16,
2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless
of the occurrence of the Termination Date or the resignation or removal of any Agent.
Section 9.06 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 9.07 Severability
. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.08 Right
of Setoff . If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at
any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective
of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office
of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The applicable Lender shall
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any
delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.
148

(a) Each
of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed
(i) to
their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature
of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and any failure of such Persons to comply with this Section 9.12
shall constitute a breach of this Section 9.12 by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the relevant
Lender, as applicable),

provided that,
(A) in
each case, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination
of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or other routine examinations of such Lender by such governmental
agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and
(B) in
the case of clause (y) only, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to ensure that such Information is kept confidential in connection with the exercise of such remedies, and provided, further,
that in no event shall any Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries,
(iii) to
any other party to this Agreement,
(iv) subject
to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to

(v) with
the consent of the Borrower, in the case of Information provided by the Borrower or any other Subsidiary,
(vi) to
the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower,
(vii) to
any ratings agency or the CUSIP Service Bureau on a confidential basis, or
(viii) to
the extent required by a potential or actual insurer or reinsurer in connection with providing insurance, reinsurance or credit risk
mitigation coverage under which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to this Agreement. In addition, each of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this
Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders
in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Borrowings
hereunder.
150
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits
any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules or regulations to a governmental,
regulatory, or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any person. Deutsche Bank may place customary advertisements in
financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of customary information on
the internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, in each case, after the Effective Date,
in the form of “tombstone” or otherwise describing your name and the amount, type and closing date of the Transactions, all
at Deutsche Bank’s expense.
For the purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or their business, other than any such information
that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by
the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of
such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
(b) EACH
LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT
MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
SECURITIES AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT
WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
(c) ALL
INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE
OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE
BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE
BORROWER AND EACH AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION
THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING
FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
Section 9.13 USA
Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of Title III of the USA Patriot Act and the requirements of 31 C.F.R §1010.230
(the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender
or such Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Title III of the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial
Ownership Regulation.
Section 9.14 Judgment
Currency.
(a) If,
for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency,
each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which
in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency
on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
151
(b) The
obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing
hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”),
be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so
due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase
the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally
due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss as a result of any variation as between (a) the rate of exchange
at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (b) the
rate of exchange, as quoted by the Administrative Agent or by a known dealer in the judgment currency that is designated by the Administrative
Agent, at which such Lender is able to purchase Dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by such Applicable
Creditor. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the applicable party and shall continue in
full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include
any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into Dollars. The obligations of the Borrower
under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder and the
earlier resignation or removal of any Agent.
Section 9.15 Release
of Liens and Guarantees. Subject to the final paragraph of this Section 9.15, a Subsidiary Loan Party shall
automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents
in Collateral owned by (and to the extent constituting Excluded Assets, upon the request of the Borrower, the Equity Interests of) such
Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released, upon the request of the Borrower, upon any Subsidiary Loan Party becoming an Excluded
Subsidiary.
Upon (i) any sale or other transfer by any
Loan Party (other than to the Borrower or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or
(ii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any
Collateral or the release of any Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Guaranty, in each case of this clause (ii), pursuant to Section 9.02,
the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents or such guarantee shall be automatically released. Upon the
occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Loan Documents and all security interests created by the Security Documents
shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Collateral Agent shall execute
and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall prepare and reasonably request
to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse
to or representation or warranty by any Agent. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to (i) release
or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document
to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02 (v) or (viii)(A) to
the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens pursuant to documents reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and (ii) subordinate any Lien on any Mortgaged Property
if required under the terms of any lease, easement, right of way or similar agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property provided
such lease, easement, right of way or similar agreement is permitted by Section 6.02.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor will
be released from its guarantee or become an Excluded Subsidiary, including as a result of ceasing to be wholly-owned, unless (i) at
the time such Guarantor ceases to be wholly-owned or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, the primary purpose of such transaction
was not to evade the guarantee requirements hereof, (ii) the transaction by which such Guarantor ceases to be wholly-owned or otherwise
becomes an Excluded Subsidiary was consummated on an arms’ length basis with an unaffiliated third party and (iii) such transaction
otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement (with the Borrower being deemed to have made an Investment in such resulting non-Guarantor
Subsidiary or Excluded Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, and such Investment being subject to Section 6.04).
152
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including
this Section 9.15) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall any Agent be required to authorize
or execute any document or instrument evidencing any subordination or release of Liens unless it shall have first received a certificate
of a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party certifying that the execution and delivery of such document or instrument or the action effectuating
such subordination or release of Liens, as applicable, is authorized and permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon
request by any Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release or subordinate
any Liens pursuant to this Section 9.15.
Section 9.16 No
Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of
the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates,
on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that
does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates,
and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. Each Agent, Lender and their
respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates.
Section 9.17 Spanish
Executive Proceedings.
(a) The
parties hereto agree that this Agreement, the Guaranty, any Spanish law governed Security Document and, if requested by the Administrative
Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) any other Loan Document to which a Loan Party incorporated in Spain is a party, and
any accessions, amendments, extensions and/or assignments thereto, will be formalized in a Spanish Public Document in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement or such other document for the purposes of Article 517 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law. Each Spanish
Public Document will: (a) have the effects established under Articles 517 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law and
(b) if necessary, for the purposes of Article 571 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, include an authorization
in favor of the Administrative Agent to determine the amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents that may be claimable in an executive
proceeding. Each party hereto hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to request and obtain from the Spanish notary public
before whom any Loan Document has been formalized, a copy with enforcement effects (copia autorizada con carácter ejecutivo)
of any notarized Loan Document. The costs of issuance of first copies of any Loan Document shall be borne by the Borrower or a Loan Party.
The cost regarding the issuance of any additional copies shall be borne by the party requesting such additional copies.
(b) Upon
enforcement, the sum payable by any Loan Party party to a Spanish law governed Security Document shall be the amounts set forth in the
Register in accordance with the terms hereof, as provided by the Administrative Agent. For the purposes of Articles 571 et seq.
of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, the parties expressly agree that such balances shall be considered as due, liquid and payable and
may be claimed pursuant to the same provisions of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law.
(c) For
the purpose of the provisions of Article 571 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, it is expressly agreed that the
determination of the debt to be claimed through the executive proceedings shall be effected by the Administrative Agent by means of the
appropriate certificate evidencing the balances shown in the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph (b) above. By virtue
of the foregoing, to exercise executive action by the Administrative Agent it will be sufficient to present (i) an original notarial
first or authentic copy of this Agreement, (ii) a notarial certificate, if necessary, for the purposes described in paragraph (e) below,
(iii) the notarial document (acta notarial) which incorporates the certificate issued by the Administrative Agent of the amount
due by the Loan Parties party to a Spanish law governed Security Document, including an excerpt of the credits and debits, including
the interest applied, which appear in the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph (b) above, evidencing that the determination
of the amounts due and payable by the Loan Parties party to a Spanish law governed Security Document has been calculated as agreed in
this Agreement and that such amounts coincide with the balance of such accounts, and (iv) a notarial document (acta notarial) evidencing
that the Borrower has been served notice of the amount that is due and payable.
153
(d) Paragraph
(c) above is also applicable to any Lender with regard to its Commitment. Such Lender may issue an appropriate certification of
the balances of the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph (b) above and certification of the balances of such accounts
shall be legalized by a notary.
(e) The
amount of the balances so established shall be notified to the Borrower in an attestable manner at least five (5) days in advance
of exercising the executive action set out in paragraph (c) or (d) above, as applicable.
(f) Upon
enforcement, the Loan Parties party to a Spanish law governed Security Document hereby expressly authorize each Agent (and each Lender,
as appropriate) to reasonable request and obtain certificates and documents issued by the notary who has formalized this Agreement (or
any substitute) to evidence its compliance with the entries of the notary’s registry-book and the relevant entry date for the purpose
of number 4 of Article 517 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law. All reasonable cost and expenses of such certificate and documents
will be for the account of the Loan Parties.
(g) For
the purposes of Article 540.2 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, the Loan Parties party to a Spanish law-governed Security Document
acknowledge and accept that, provided that the relevant assignment, transfer or other change of Lenders has been made in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, any assignment, transfer or other change of Lenders shall be duly and sufficiently evidenced to any Spanish
court by means of provision of the Register to such court by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders)
confirming the identity of such Lenders as of the relevant time and, therefore, those Persons who are so identified as Lenders in the
Register shall be able and empowered in all respects to initiate, whether directly or through any Agent (or duly appointed sub-agents,
co-agents or attorneys-in-fact), any enforcement in Spain through procedimiento ejecutivo without further evidence being required.

any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected

its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other

Section 9.22 Spanish
Formalities.
(a) Notarization.
Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes any of them to raise this Agreement (and any amendment, novation

and unconditionally agrees that such notarization does not require any prior consent of any party hereto.

Section 9.23 Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap
Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC,
a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC
under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with
the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and
QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be
stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a) In
the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest
and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or
such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S.
Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property)
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of
a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that
might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted
to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported
QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) As
used in this Section 9.23, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means
an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
156
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(i) a
“covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(ii) a
“covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(iii) a
“covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned
to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the
term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Version
JOINDER NO. 6 dated as of
October 5, 2026 (this “Joinder”) to the FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, dated as of April 24, 2020
(as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “AMC First Lien

defined therein) from time to time party thereto.
A. Capitalized
terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Existing AMC First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement.
B. The
Borrower intends to (i) amend, restate, and Refinance the Credit Agreement pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower,
the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor agent to WSFS), as administrative agent and as collateral

by and among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto and GLAS, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “2031 First

C. As
a condition to the ability of the Borrower or any Subsidiaries of the Borrower to incur Additional First Lien Obligations and to secure
such Senior Class Debt with the Senior Lien and to have such Senior Class Debt guaranteed by the Grantors on a senior basis,
in each case under and pursuant to the Additional First Lien Documents, the Senior Class Debt Representative in respect of such
Senior Class Debt is required to become a Collateral Agent under, and such Senior Class Debt and the Senior Class Debt
Parties in respect thereof are required to become subject to and bound by, the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Section 5.13
of the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Senior Class Debt Representative may become a Collateral Agent
under, and such Senior Class Debt and such Senior Class Debt Parties may become subject to and bound by, the AMC First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement, upon the execution and delivery by the Senior Class Representative of an instrument in the form of this
Joinder and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in Section 5.13 of the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The

Term Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) on the date hereof, the Successor First Lien Collateral Agent by
its signature below acknowledges and confirms its status as a Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Controlling Collateral
Agent under the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement constitutes the “Credit Agreement” and the obligations thereunder constitute the continuous “Credit
Agreement Obligations” under the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each reference to a “Collateral Agent”
in the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to include and refer to the Successor First Lien Collateral Agent. Each
reference to the “First Lien Collateral Agent” and the “Controlling Collateral Agent” in the AMC
First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to the Successor First Lien Collateral Agent.
(b) The
Successor First Lien Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the other First Lien Secured Parties that (i) it has full power
and authority to enter into this Joinder, in its capacity as agent, (ii) this Joinder has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of this Joinder, and
(iii) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (solely for this purpose, as defined in the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement) provide that the Credit Agreement Secured Parties in respect of such Credit Agreement Obligations will
continue to be subject to and bound by the provisions of the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement as the Credit Agreement Secured Parties,
and the Successor First Lien Collateral Agent is fully authorized to act on their behalf.

Priorities and Agreements with Respect to
Shared Collateral
Section 2.01. Subordination.
(a) Notwithstanding
the date, time, manner or order of filing or recordation of any document or instrument or grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens
granted to any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Parties on the Shared Collateral or of any Liens granted to any Senior Representative
or the Senior Secured Parties on the Shared Collateral (or any actual or alleged defect in any of the foregoing) and notwithstanding any
provision of the UCC, any applicable law, any Junior Debt Document or any Senior Debt Document or any other circumstance whatsoever, each
Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby agrees that any Lien on
the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any (i) Senior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Senior
Secured Parties or any Senior Representative or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute,
operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority over and be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Shared
Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Junior Obligations, and (ii) Junior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf
of any Junior Secured Parties or any Junior Representative or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by
grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Shared

(b) All
Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and
prior to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Junior Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such
Liens securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations are subordinated to any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting
to secure any other obligation of the Company, any AMC Group Grantor or any other Person or otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated
or lapsed.
Section 2.02. Nature
of Senior Lender Claims. Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility,
acknowledges that (a) [reserved], (b) the terms of the Senior Debt Documents and the Senior Obligations may be amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified, and the Senior Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (c) the aggregate
amount of the Senior Obligations may be increased in the manner permitted under the then-extant Senior Debt Documents and the then-extant

by or on behalf of any of the Senior Secured Parties or any Senior Representative or other agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Collateral,
and the Designated Senior Representative and each other Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Secured Party under
its Senior Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting,

of any Lien securing, or the allowability or value of any claims asserted with respect to, any Junior Obligations held (or purported to
be held) by or on behalf of any of any Junior Representative or any of the Junior Secured Parties in the Junior Collateral. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Designated Senior Representative
or any other Senior Representative to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as provided
in Section 2.01) or any of the Senior Debt Documents.
10
Section 2.04. No
New Liens. The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred (a) no AMC Group Grantor
shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of such AMC Group Grantor to secure any Junior Obligation unless it
has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such AMC Group Grantor to secure the Senior Obligations
and (b) if any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any AMC Group Grantor
securing any Junior Obligations that are not also subject to the senior-priority Liens securing Senior Obligations under the Senior Collateral
Documents, such Junior Representative or Junior Secured Party (i) shall notify the Designated Senior Representative promptly upon
becoming aware thereof and, unless such AMC Group Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to the Senior
Representatives as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Senior Representatives as security for the Senior
Obligations (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (ii) until such assignment
or such grant of a similar Lien to the Senior Representatives, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the
Senior Representatives as security for the Senior Obligations. If any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party shall, at any
time, receive any proceeds or payment from or as a result of any Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.04, it shall
pay such proceeds or payments over to the Designated Senior Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.
Section 2.05. Perfection
of Liens. Except for the agreements of the Designated Senior Representative pursuant to Section 5.05, none of the Designated
Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining
the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Junior Representatives or the Junior Secured Parties.
The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Secured Parties and
the Junior Secured Parties and shall not impose on the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives, the Senior
Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives, the Junior Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of
the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person
or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.
Section 2.06. [Reserved].
Section 2.07. Refinancings.
The Senior Obligations and the Junior Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice
to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Senior Debt Document
or any Junior Debt Document, as applicable) of any party hereto, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other
provisions hereof; provided that, such Refinancing indebtedness shall only be subject to this Agreement if (i) (a) such
Refinancing indebtedness is required, pursuant to its terms or pursuant to the terms of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Debt Document,
to be subject to this Agreement or (b) the Company has elected to subject such Refinanced indebtedness to the terms of this Agreement,
and (ii) the collateral agent for the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf
of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness and such collateral agent and Grantors shall have complied with Section 9.09
with respect to such indebtedness.

ARTICLE III
Enforcement
Section 3.01. Exercise
of Remedies.
(a) So
long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced
by or against the Company or any other Grantor, (i) neither any Junior Representative nor any Junior Secured Party will (x) exercise
or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Junior
Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (y) contest,
protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Shared Collateral or any other Senior Collateral
by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Obligations,
the exercise of any right by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party (or any
agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Senior Obligations under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver
or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative
or any Senior Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party
of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Senior Collateral
or the Senior Obligations, or (z) object to the forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure
proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Shared Collateral in respect of Senior Obligations
and (ii) except as otherwise provided herein, the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives and the Senior
Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff, recoupment, and the right to credit
bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Shared Collateral without
any consultation with or the consent of any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party; provided, however, that (A) in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, any Junior Representative may file
a claim, proof of claim, or statement of interest with respect to the Junior Obligations under its Junior Debt Facility, (B) any
Junior Representative may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations or
the rights of the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties to exercise remedies
in respect thereof) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority
of its Lien on, the Shared Collateral, (C) to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with or prohibited by this Agreement, any Junior
Representative and the Junior Secured Parties may exercise their rights and remedies as unsecured creditors, to the extent provided in
Section 5.04, (D) any Junior Representative may exercise the rights and remedies provided for in Section 6.03
and may vote on a proposed Plan of Reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the Company or any other Grantor in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 6.12), (E) any Junior Representative and the Junior Secured Parties
may file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other
pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims or Liens of the Junior Secured Parties, including
any claims secured by the Junior Collateral, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (F) from and after the
Junior Enforcement Date, the Designated Junior Representative or any person authorized by it may exercise or seek to exercise any rights
or remedies with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Junior Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect
to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), in each case of clauses (A) through (F) above,
to the extent such action is not inconsistent with, or could not result in a resolution inconsistent with, the terms of this Agreement.
In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Collateral, the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives
and the Senior Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order
and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights
of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with
such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable
jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
12
(b) So
long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured
Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that it will not take or receive any Shared Collateral or any Proceeds of Shared Collateral
in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect
of Junior Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred,
except as expressly provided in the proviso in Section 3.01(a) and in Article VI, the sole right of the Junior
Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Shared Collateral in respect
of Junior Obligations pursuant to the Junior Debt Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of
the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.
(c) Subject
to the proviso in Section 3.01(a), (i) each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party
under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that neither such Junior Representative nor any such Junior Secured Party will take any action
that would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies undertaken by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative
or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange,
transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Junior Representative,
for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such
Junior Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Designated Senior Representative,
the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted
on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Designated Senior Representative,
any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Junior Secured Parties.
(d) Each
Junior Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Junior Debt Document
shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives
or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Debt Documents.
(e) Subject
to the proviso in Section 3.01(a), until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Senior Representative or any
Person authorized by it shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Shared Collateral and shall
have the exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding
with respect thereto. Following the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Junior Representative or any Person authorized by
it shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral and shall have the exclusive right to
direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the
Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the
Junior Representatives, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Junior Collateral Documents; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Junior Representative or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the
Junior Secured Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior Obligations as may be otherwise
required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Junior Secured Parties or the Junior Obligations.
Section 3.02. Cooperation.
Subject to the proviso in Section 3.01(a), each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under
its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join
with any Person (other than the Senior Secured Parties and the Designated Senior Representative upon the request thereof) in commencing,
any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Shared Collateral
under any of the Junior Debt Documents.
13
Section 3.03. Actions
upon Breach. Should any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to
take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy
with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, the Designated Senior Representative or any other
Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of the Company or any other Grantor) or the
Company may obtain relief against such Junior Representative or such Junior Secured Party by injunction, specific performance or other
appropriate equitable relief. Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility,
hereby (a) agrees that the Senior Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Junior Representatives or any Junior Secured
Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that the Company, any other Grantor or
the Senior Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (b) irrevocably waives any defense
based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any
action that may be brought by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party.
ARTICLE IV

Senior Obligations has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Senior Representative shall deliver promptly
to the Designated Junior Representative any Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary
endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Designated Junior Representative to the
Junior Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Junior Debt Documents and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 4.02. Payments
Over. After an event of default under any Senior Debt Document has occurred and until such event of default is cured or waived, so
long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, any Shared Collateral, Proceeds thereof or distributions on account of claims
secured by Shared Collateral received by any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party (i) in connection with the exercise
of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) or otherwise or (ii) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including
any adequate protection payments), in each case, shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the
Designated Senior Representative for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements,
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, until such time as the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred.
The Designated Senior Representative is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for each of the Junior Representatives
or any such Junior Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
14
ARTICLE V
Other Agreements
Section 5.01. Releases.
(a) Each
Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that, in the event
of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any specified item of Shared Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity
interests of any subsidiary of AMC) (i) in connection with the exercise of remedies in respect of Shared Collateral by a Senior Representative
or (ii) if not in connection with the exercise of remedies in respect of Shared Collateral by a Senior Representative, so long as
such sale, transfer or other disposition is permitted by the terms of the Junior Debt Documents and the Senior Debt Documents, the Liens
granted to the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral (but such Liens shall not be deemed to
be so released on the Proceeds thereof that were not applied to the payment of Senior Obligations) to secure Junior Obligations shall
terminate and be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with or to the same extent as the termination and
release of all Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure Senior Obligations. Upon delivery to a Junior Representative of an
Officer’s Certificate stating that any such termination and release of Liens securing the Senior Obligations has become effective
(or shall become effective concurrently with such termination and release of the Liens granted to the Junior Secured Parties and the Junior
Representatives) and any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release prepared by the Company or any other AMC Group Grantor,
such Junior Representative will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Company’s or the other AMC Group Grantor’s
sole cost and expense, such instruments to evidence such termination and release of the Liens. Nothing in this Section 5.01(a) will
be deemed to affect any agreement of a Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Secured Parties under its Junior
Debt Facility, to release the Liens on the Junior Collateral as set forth in the relevant Junior Debt Documents and any Junior Lien Intercreditor
Agreement.
(b) Each
Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby irrevocably constitutes

true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Junior Representative or such
Junior Secured Party or in such Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time in such Senior Representative’s discretion,
for the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 5.01(a), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and
all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a), including
any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
(c) Unless
and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured
Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after an event of default under any Senior
Debt Document, of proceeds of Shared Collateral to the repayment of Senior Obligations pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents; provided
that nothing in this Section 5.01(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Junior Representatives
or the Junior Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Junior Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Junior Collateral Document, in the event the terms of a Senior Collateral Document and a Junior Collateral
Document each require any AMC Group Grantor to (i) make payment in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, (ii) deliver or
afford control over any item of Shared Collateral to, or deposit any item of Shared Collateral with, (iii) register ownership of
any item of Shared Collateral in the name of or make an assignment of ownership of any Shared Collateral or the rights thereunder to,

be held in trust for multiple parties under applicable law), (vi) obtain the agreement of a bailee or other third party to hold any
item of Shared Collateral for the benefit of or subject to the control of or, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, to follow the
instructions of or (vii) obtain the agreement of a landlord with respect to access to leased premises where any item of Shared Collateral
is located or waivers or subordination of rights with respect to any item of Shared Collateral in favor of, in any case, both any Designated
Senior Representative and any Junior Representative or Junior Secured Party, such Grantor may, until the applicable Discharge of Senior
Obligations has occurred, comply with such requirement under the Junior Collateral Document as it relates to such Shared Collateral by
taking any of the actions set forth above only with respect to, or in favor of, the Designated Senior Representative.
15
Section 5.02. Insurance
and Condemnation Awards. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Designated Senior Representative and
the Senior Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Debt Documents,
(a) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (b) to
approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of
Senior Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, if in respect of the Shared Collateral, shall be
paid (i) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Senior Representative for
the benefit of Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Senior Debt Documents, (ii) second, after the occurrence
of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Junior Representative for the benefit of the Junior Secured Parties pursuant
to the terms of the applicable Junior Debt Documents and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (iii) third, if no Senior
Obligations or Junior Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party shall, at any time,
receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over
to the Designated Senior Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.
Section 5.03. Amendments
to Junior Collateral Documents.
(a) Without
the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative, no Junior Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Junior Collateral Document,
would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to deliver to each Senior Representative
copies of (i) any amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Junior Collateral Documents and (ii) any new Junior
Collateral Documents promptly after effectiveness thereof. Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured
Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that each Junior Collateral Document under its Junior Debt Facility shall include the following

not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Collateral consisting of assets of the Restricted Centertainment Group or the Restricted Odeon Group)
shall be expressly subject and subordinate to the Liens and security interests granted in favor of the Senior Credit Agreement Agent,
the Senior 1L Notes Agent, and the Exchangeable Notes Agent (each, as defined in the AMC First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement
referred to below) and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the [Junior Representative] hereunder shall be subject to the
limitations and provisions of that certain AMC First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2026 (as amended,

terms of the AMC First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the AMC First Lien/Second
Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

(b) In
the event that any Senior Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents
for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral
Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Designated Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Company or any
other Grantor thereunder in respect of any of the Shared Collateral (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral), then such
amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the comparable Junior Collateral Documents without
the consent of any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party and without any action by any Junior Representative, the Company
or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) releasing
any Lien on any Shared Collateral securing the applicable Junior Obligations, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted
by Section 5.01 and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Lien on such Shared Collateral securing the Senior
Obligations, (ii) imposing duties that are adverse on, or modifying any rights of, any Junior Representative without its consent
or (iii) altering the terms of the Junior Debt Documents to permit other Liens on the Shared Collateral not permitted under the terms
of the Junior Debt Documents as in effect on the date hereof or Article VI and (B) written notice of such amendment,
waiver or consent shall have been given to each Junior Representative within 10 Business Days after the effectiveness of such amendment,
waiver or consent.
(c) The
Senior Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms without the consent
of any Junior Secured Party; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Junior Representatives, no such amendment,
restatement, supplement or modification (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications) shall contravene any provision
of this Agreement. The Junior Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms
without the consent of any Senior Secured Party; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Senior Representatives,
no such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications) shall
contravene any provision of this Agreement.
Section 5.04. Rights
as Unsecured Creditors. The Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors
against the Company and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Junior Debt Documents and applicable law so long as such
rights and remedies do not violate and are not otherwise inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth
in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party of the
required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Junior Debt Documents so long as such receipt
is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party of rights or remedies as a
creditor in respect of Shared Collateral. In the event any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor
in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Junior Obligations,
such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior
Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair
or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior
Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.
17
Section 5.05. Gratuitous
Bailee for Perfection.
(a) Each
Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral
that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held,
and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of such Senior Representative, or
of agents or bailees of such Senior Representative (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled
Collateral”), or if it shall any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement
granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or
take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous
bailee for the relevant Junior Representatives, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant
Junior Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05. Each Junior Representative acknowledges
and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a perfected Lien on any Pledged or Controlled Collateral, such Junior Representative shall
also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for each Senior Representatives, in each case solely
for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Senior Collateral Documents (to the extent not otherwise perfected)
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05 and the Lien priority provided for herein.
(b) In
the event that any Senior Representative (or its agents or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the
Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative agrees to hold
such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Representatives and any assignee thereof, solely for the purpose
of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Junior Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 5.05.
(c) Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Senior Representative shall be
entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under
the Junior Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties with respect to
the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d) No
Senior Representative shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Junior Representatives or any Junior Secured Party to assure that any
of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person
or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities
of each Senior Representative under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral
and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent
and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Junior Representative.
(e) No
Senior Representative shall have by reason of the Junior Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship
in respect of any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party, and each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each
Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases each Senior Representative from all claims and liabilities
arising pursuant to such Senior Representative’s role under this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee with
respect to the Shared Collateral.
(f) Upon
the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each Senior Representative shall, at the AMC Group Grantors’ sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver
to the Designated Junior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds
thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control,
as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities
intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar
agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled
to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any AMC Group Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify
any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any AMC Group Grantor that the Designated Junior
Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding. The Company and the other Grantors shall take such further
action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage
suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative
as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. No Senior Representative has any obligation to follow instructions
from the Designated Junior Representative in contravention of this Agreement.
18
(g) Neither
the Designated Senior Representative nor any of the other Senior Representatives or Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal
any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Company or any other Grantor to the Designated Senior Representative,
any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof,
or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of
such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however
existing or arising.
Section 5.06. When
Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge
of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Company or any other AMC Group Grantor incurs any Senior Obligations (other than in respect of
the payment of indemnities surviving the Discharge of Senior Obligations), then the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically
be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such
designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior
Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the
Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the granting by the Designated Senior Representative of
amendments, waivers and consents hereunder and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be
a Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new
Designated Senior Representative), each Junior Representative (including the Designated Junior Representative) shall promptly (a) enter
into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Company), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Company
or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Representative the rights of
a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to the Designated Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally
permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Junior Representative or any of
its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together
with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign
its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to
Shared Collateral, (c) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured
under the insurance policies of any AMC Group Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (d) notify any governmental authority
involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a AMC Group Grantor that the new Designated Senior Representative is entitled
to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.
19
ARTICLE VI
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings
Section 6.01. Financing
and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other AMC Group Grantor shall be subject
to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior Representative shall desire to consent (or not object) to, as applicable, the
sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the Company’s or any other AMC Group Grantor’s
obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy
Law to be secured by the Senior Collateral (“DIP Financing”), then each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf
of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that it will (as applicable) raise no objection to and will not otherwise
contest such use of such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except solely to the extent permitted by Section 6.03,
will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Obligations
are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated)
its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens
securing the Junior Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (y) any adequate protection
Liens provided to the Senior Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees
agreed to by any Senior Representative. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, for itself
and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, further agrees that it will (as applicable) raise no objection
to and will not otherwise contest (a) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or
enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations with respect to the Senior Collateral made by Designated Senior Representative, any other
Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, (b) any lawful exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit
bid Senior Obligations at any sale of Senior Collateral (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy
Code or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) or to exercise any rights under Section 1111(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Senior Collateral, (c) any other request
for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral
or (d) any sale or other disposition of any or all of the Senior Collateral for which any Senior Representative has consented that
provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations
and the Junior Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral
securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Junior Obligations pursuant to this Agreement;
without limiting the foregoing, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt
Facility, agrees that it may not raise any objections based on rights afforded by Section 363(e) or Section 363(f) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. In addition, the Junior Secured Parties are not deemed to have
waived any rights to credit bid on the Shared Collateral in any such sale or disposition in accordance with Section 363(k) of
the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law), so long as any such credit bid provides for
the payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations.
Section 6.02. Relief
from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf
of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any
other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any AMC Group Grantor or take any action in derogation thereof
without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.
20
Section 6.03. Adequate
Protection. Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees
that none of them shall object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by the Designated
Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection in any form, (b) any
objection by the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief,
action or proceeding based on the Designated Senior Representative’s or any other Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured
Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the allowance and/or payment (whether or not allowed or allowable in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) of interest, fees, expenses, premiums (including make-whole premiums), and/or other amounts
of the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, including, without limitation,
as adequate protection or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01,
in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection
in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim in connection with any
DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy
Law, then each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, may seek or
request adequate protection in the form of (as applicable) a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority
administrative expense claim, which Lien and/or superpriority administrative expense claim (as applicable) is subordinated to the Liens
securing and providing adequate protection for, and claims with respect to, the Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations
relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing and claims with respect to the Junior Obligations are so subordinated
to the Liens securing and claims with respect to the Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (ii) in the event any Junior Representatives,
for themselves and on behalf of the Junior Secured Parties under their Junior Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and
such adequate protection is granted in the form of (as applicable) a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority
administrative expense claim, then such Junior Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under their
Junior Debt Facilities, agree that the Senior Representatives shall also be granted (as applicable) a senior Lien on such additional or
replacement collateral as security and adequate protection for the Senior Obligations and/or a senior superpriority administrative expense
claim, and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the Junior Obligations
and/or superpriority administrative expense claim shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing and claims with respect
to the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens and claims granted to
the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing and claims with respect to the Junior
Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing and claims with respect to Senior Obligations under this Agreement.
Section 6.04. Preference
Issues. If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or
otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because
the payment of such amount was declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount
(a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff, recoupment or otherwise,
then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not
occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall still be entitled to a future Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered
amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect,
and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each
Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of
them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in
accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance
action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth
in this Agreement.
21
Section 6.05. Separate
Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party
under its Junior Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents
and the Junior Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, (b) the Junior Secured Parties’ claims
against the Grantors in respect of their Liens on the Shared Collateral constitute junior claims separate and apart (and of a different
class) from the senior claims of the Senior Secured Parties against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral, and (c) because
of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Junior Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior
Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding of any AMC Group Grantor. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence,
if it is held that the claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Secured Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute
only a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Junior Representative, for
itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions
from the Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in
respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient
(for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Secured Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal and pre-petition interest, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition
interest, fees, premiums (including make-whole premiums), and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the Junior Obligations), with each Junior Representative, for itself and on
behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Designated Senior
Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from or on account of the Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to
effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Secured Parties.
This Section 6.05 is intended to govern the relationship between the classes of claims held by the Junior Secured Parties,
on the one hand, and a class of claims comprised of the Senior Obligations, on the other hand, in respect of the Shared Collateral.
Section 6.06. No
Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any
way limit the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Secured Party, including the seeking by any Junior
Secured Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Junior Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Debt
Documents or otherwise.
Section 6.07. Application.
This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement
of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights set forth herein shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing
of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession
and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.
Section 6.08. Other
Matters. To the extent that any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, such Junior Representative, on behalf of
itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees not to assert any such rights with respect to the Shared Collateral
without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.
Section 6.09. 506(c) Claims.
Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party
under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code
or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs
or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral or other collateral for the Senior Obligations.
Section 6.10. Reorganization
Securities. Without limitation of the provisions of Section 4.01, if, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any
AMC Group Grantor, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed
pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Junior Obligations, then, to the extent the debt
obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Junior Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same
assets or properties (or any obligor thereon holds any Deemed Collateral or assets of the type included in the definition of “Deemed
Collateral”), the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and
will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations (and to such Deemed Collateral or assets).
22
Section 6.11. Post-Petition
Interest. None of the Junior Representatives or any other Junior Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any
Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any AMC Group Grantor of
Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, costs, expenses, premiums (including make-whole premiums) and/or
other charges, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (for this purpose ignoring all claims and Liens held
by the Junior Secured Parties on the Shared Collateral).
Section 6.12. Plan
Voting. No Junior Representative or any other Junior Secured Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured
creditor) may propose, support, or vote in favor of any Plan of Reorganization (and each shall be deemed to have voted to reject any Plan
of Reorganization) that is inconsistent with, or in violation of, the terms of this Agreement unless such plan (a) pays off, in cash
in full, all Senior Obligations or (b) is accepted by the class of holders of Senior Obligations voting thereon in accordance with
Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.
ARTICLE VII
Reliance; etc.
Section 7.01. Reliance.
The consent by the Senior Secured Parties to the execution and delivery of the Junior Debt Documents to which the Senior Secured Parties
have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties
to AMC or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Junior Representative,
on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Junior Secured Parties
have, independently and without reliance on the Designated Senior Representative or any other Senior Representative or other Senior Secured
Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the
Junior Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Junior Debt Documents or
this Agreement.
Section 7.02. No
Warranties or Liability. Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility,
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Designated Senior Representative nor any other Senior Representative or other Senior Secured
Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness,
collectability or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority
of any Liens thereon. The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit
under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the
Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Representatives
and the Junior Secured Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the
Designated Senior Representative nor any other Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Representative
or Junior Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event
of default or default under any agreement with AMC or any of its subsidiaries (including the Junior Debt Documents), regardless of any
knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Designated Senior Representative,
the other Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties have not otherwise
made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each
other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Senior Obligations, the Junior Obligations
or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to
or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
23
Section 7.03. Obligations
Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives,
the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of:
(a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Debt Document;
(b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations,
or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise,
of the terms of any Senior Debt Document or of the terms of any Junior Debt Document;
(c) any
exchange of any security interest in any Shared Collateral or any other collateral or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether
in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations or any guarantee thereof;
(d) the
commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Grantor; or
(e) any
other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, (i) the Company or any other Grantor
in respect of the Senior Obligations or (ii) any Junior Representative or Junior Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
[Reserved]
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous
Section 9.01. Conflicts.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Debt Document
(in each case, other than the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) or any Junior Debt Document as it relates to the Shared Collateral,
the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
solely as amongst the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties and their relative rights and obligations with respect to
any Senior Collateral, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the
AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the AMC First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the relative rights and obligations of the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect
to any Junior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between
the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, with respect to the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties
(as amongst themselves), the provisions of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control, in each case as applicable.
24
For the avoidance of doubt,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Senior Debt Document or Junior Debt Document, the priorities,
rights and remedies set forth herein apply solely to the Collateral defined herein and that is granted by the AMC Group Grantors and this
Agreement shall not be construed to apply to or govern any other collateral owned or granted by any Grantor that is not a AMC Group Grantor.
Section 9.02. Continuing
Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 5.06 and Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue
to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and
the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Junior Representatives or any Junior Secured Party, to
extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Grantor constituting
Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction
shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 9.03. Amendments;
Waivers.
(a) No
failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
(b) Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified (other than pursuant to any Joinder Agreement)
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Representative (and with respect to any such termination,
waiver, amendment or modification which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Company’s consent or which increases the obligations
or reduces the rights of the Company or any other Grantor, with the consent of the Company).
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and
the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be
subject to the terms hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the consent of any other Representative or Secured Party, the Designated Senior Representative may effect amendments
and modifications to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect any incurrence of any Additional Senior Debt Obligations or any
Additional Junior Debt Obligations in compliance with the Senior Credit Agreement, the Senior 1L Notes Indenture, the Exchangeable
Notes Indenture, the Junior Credit Agreement, any Additional Senior Debt Document and any Additional Junior Debt Documents.

the Senior Secured Parties, the Designated Junior Representative, the other Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties shall

endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk
of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Obligations. The Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives,
the Senior Secured Parties, the Designated Junior Representative, the other Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties shall
have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances
or otherwise. In the event that the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Designated
Junior Representative, any other Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or
from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Designated
Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Designated Junior Representative, the other Junior
Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty,
including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide

any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is
otherwise required to maintain confidential.
Section 9.05. Subrogation.
Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby agrees not to assert
any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.
Section 9.06. Application
of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Senior Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and
reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate,
consistent with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Junior Representative, on behalf of
itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment
of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release
of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily
or secondarily liable therefor.
Section 9.07. Additional
Grantors. AMC agrees that, if any subsidiary of AMC shall become an AMC Group Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly cause
such subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex II. Upon such execution and
delivery, such subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein and
the term “AMC Group Grantor” will be automatically amended. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require
the consent of any other party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
Section 9.08. Dealings
with Grantors. Upon any application or demand by the Company or any Grantor to any Senior Representative or Junior Representative
to take or permit any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement or under any Collateral Document (if such action is subject
to the provisions hereof), any such Company or Grantor, as appropriate, shall furnish to the applicable Junior Representative or Senior
Representative a certificate of an appropriate officer (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement or such Collateral Document, as the case may be, relating to the proposed action have
been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically
required by any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document relating to such particular application or demand, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.
26
Section 9.09. Additional
Debt Facilities. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then-extant Senior Debt Documents and the
Junior Debt Documents, the Company or any other Grantor may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes of Additional Senior
Debt and/or Additional Junior Debt. Any such additional class or series of Additional Senior Debt (the “Senior Class Debt”)
may be secured by a senior Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents, if and subject
to the condition that the Representative of any such Senior Class Debt (each, a “Senior Class Debt Representative”),
acting on behalf of the holders of such Senior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any such Senior Class Debt
being referred to as the “Senior Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions
set forth in clauses (i) through (v), as applicable, of this Section 9.09. Any such additional class
or series of Additional Junior Debt (the “Junior Class Debt” and, together with the Senior Class Debt,
collectively, the “Class Debt”) may be secured by a junior priority, subordinated Lien on Shared Collateral, in
each case under and pursuant to the Junior Collateral Documents for such Junior Class Debt, if and subject to the condition that
the Representative of any such Junior Class Debt (each, a “Junior Class Debt Representative”; the Junior
Class Debt Representatives, together with the Senior Class Debt Representatives, collectively, the “Class Debt
Representatives”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Junior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect
of any such Junior Class Debt being referred to as the “Junior Class Debt Parties”; the Junior Class Debt
Parties, together with the Senior Class Debt Parties, collectively, the “Class Debt Parties”), becomes
a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v), as applicable, of
this Section 9.09. In order for a Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement:
(i) such
Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered a Joinder Agreement to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated
Junior Representative substantially in the form of Annex III (if such Class Debt Representative is a Senior Class Debt
Representative) or Annex IV (if such Class Debt Representative is a Junior Class Debt Representative) (with such
changes as may be reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative and such Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which
it becomes a Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Class Debt Representative is the Representative
and the related Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby;
(ii) the
Company shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Representative true and complete copies
of each of the Senior Debt Documents or Junior Debt Documents, as the case may be, relating to such Class Debt, certified as being
true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Company;
(iii) in
the case of any Junior Class Debt, all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to the Junior Collateral Documents
necessary to confirm and perfect the junior priority Liens securing the relevant Junior Obligations relating to such Junior Class Debt
shall have been made, executed and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform
such filings or recordings have been taken in the reasonable judgment of such Junior Class Debt Representative), and all fees and
taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid (or acceptable provisions to make such payments have been taken in the reasonable judgment
of the Designated Senior Representative);
(iv) the
Company shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Representative an Officer’s Certificate
stating that such Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Additional Junior Debt Obligations, as the case may be, are permitted by each
applicable Senior Debt Document and applicable Junior Debt Document to be incurred, or to the extent a consent is otherwise required to
permit the incurrence of such Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Additional Junior Debt Obligations, as the case may be, under any
applicable Senior Debt Document or Junior Debt Document, the relevant Grantors have obtained the requisite consent; and
27
(v) the
Senior Debt Documents or Junior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt shall provide, in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Designated Senior Representative, that each Class Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject
to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt.
Section 9.10. Consent
to Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Designated Senior Representative and each other Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured
Parties of the Debt Facility for which it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits
for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment
in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, the courts of the
United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other

New Liens. The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred (a) no Centertainment

or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Junior

protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Shared Collateral or any other Senior Collateral
by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Obligations,

or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative

in respect thereof) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority
of its Lien on, the Shared Collateral, (C) to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with or prohibited by this Agreement, any Junior
Representative and the Junior Secured Parties may exercise their rights and remedies as unsecured creditors, to the extent provided in
Section 5.04, (D) any Junior Representative may exercise the rights and remedies provided for in Section 6.03
and may vote on a proposed Plan of Reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the Company or any other Grantor in accordance

may file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other

or remedies with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Junior Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect
to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), in each case of clauses (A) through (F) above,

In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Collateral, the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives
and the Senior Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order
and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights

such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable
jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that it will not take or receive any Shared Collateral or any Proceeds of Shared Collateral
in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect
of Junior Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred,
except as expressly provided in the proviso in Section 3.01(a) and in Article VI, the sole right of the Junior
Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Shared Collateral in respect
of Junior Obligations pursuant to the Junior Debt Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of
the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.
(c) Subject
to the proviso in Section 3.01(a), (i) each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party
under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that neither such Junior Representative nor any such Junior Secured Party will take any action
that would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies undertaken by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative
or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange,
transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Junior Representative,
for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such
Junior Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Designated Senior Representative,
the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted
on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Designated Senior Representative,
any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Junior Secured Parties.
(d) Each
Junior Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Junior Debt Document
shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives
or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Debt Documents.
(e) Subject
to the proviso in Section 3.01(a), until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Senior Representative or any
Person authorized by it shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Shared Collateral and shall
have the exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding
with respect thereto. Following the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Junior Representative or any Person authorized by
it shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral and shall have the exclusive right to
direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the
Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the
Junior Representatives, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Junior Collateral Documents; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Junior Representative or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the
Junior Secured Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior Obligations as may be otherwise
required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Junior Secured Parties or the Junior Obligations.
14
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, but without otherwise limiting any rights under this Agreement of the Senior Secured Parties or changing
any of their relative rights with respect to any Shared Collateral, the Liens on Shared Collateral securing the Junior Obligations shall
only be subordinated pursuant to this Agreement to the Liens on Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations, and the rights of the
Senior Secured Parties hereunder with respect to the Shared Collateral, and the proceeds thereof shall only be enforceable as against
the Junior Secured Parties to the fullest extent permitted under the Junior Debt Documents.
Without limiting the foregoing,
in the event the Shared Collateral securing the Exchangeable Notes Obligations is determined, contrary to the intent and expectation of
the parties, to constitute all or substantially all (within the meaning of the Exchangeable Notes Indenture) of the collateral that secures
the Exchangeable Notes Obligations (the “Exchangeable Notes Collateral”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, any Lien on the Pari Passu Shared Collateral (as defined below) securing or purporting to secure any Exchangeable Notes Obligations
shall in all respects be pari passu with and equal to any Liens on the Pari Passu Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure
any Senior Obligations constituting Senior 1L Notes Obligations or Intermediate Credit Agreement Obligations. For the avoidance of
doubt, in such event, the Lien priorities provided for in Section 2.01 shall remain in effect with respect to the Priority
Shared Collateral (as defined below). “Priority Shared Collateral” means the maximum amount of Shared Collateral that
would not constitute all or substantially all of the Exchangeable Notes Collateral. “Pari Passu Shared Collateral”
means the Shared Collateral in excess of the Priority Shared Collateral.
Section 3.02. Cooperation.
Subject to the proviso in Section 3.01(a), each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under
its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join
with any Person (other than the Senior Secured Parties and the Designated Senior Representative upon the request thereof) in commencing,
any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Shared Collateral
under any of the Junior Debt Documents.
Section 3.03. Actions
upon Breach. Should any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to
take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy
with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, the Designated Senior Representative or any other
Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of the Company or any other Grantor) or the
Company may obtain relief against such Junior Representative or such Junior Secured Party by injunction, specific performance or other
appropriate equitable relief. Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility,
hereby (a) agrees that the Senior Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Junior Representatives or any Junior Secured
Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that the Company, any other Grantor or
the Senior Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (b) irrevocably waives any defense
based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any
action that may be brought by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party.

ARTICLE IV
Payments
Section 4.01. Application
of Proceeds. After an event of default under any Senior Debt Document has occurred and until such event of default is cured or waived,
so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, (x) any Shared Collateral, (y) any Proceeds thereof or (z) any
distributions received on account of claims secured by Shared Collateral (i) in connection with the sale or other disposition of,
or collection on, any of the foregoing (x) through (z) or (ii) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including any
adequate protection payments) or otherwise, shall in each case be applied by the Designated Senior Representative to the Senior Obligations
in such order as specified in the Senior Debt Documents (including the Senior Intercreditor Agreement and the Senior First Lien Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement) until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated
Senior Representative shall deliver promptly to the Designated Junior Representative any Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof held by
it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be
applied by the Designated Junior Representative to the Junior Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Junior Debt Documents
and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 4.02. Payments

long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, any Shared Collateral, Proceeds thereof or distributions on account of claims

of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) or otherwise or (ii) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including
any adequate protection payments), in each case, shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the

or any such Junior Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
ARTICLE V
Other Agreements
Section 5.01. Releases.
(a) Each
Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that, in the event
of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any specified item of Shared Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity
interests of any subsidiary of Holdings) (i) in connection with the exercise of remedies in respect of Shared Collateral by a Senior
Representative or (ii) if not in connection with the exercise of remedies in respect of Shared Collateral by a Senior Representative,
so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is permitted by the terms of the Junior Debt Documents and the Senior Debt Documents,
the Liens granted to the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral (but such Liens shall not be
deemed to be so released on the Proceeds thereof that were not applied to the payment of Senior Obligations) to secure Junior Obligations
shall terminate and be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with or to the same extent as the termination
and release of all Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure Senior Obligations. Upon delivery to a Junior Representative of
an Officer’s Certificate stating that any such termination and release of Liens securing the Senior Obligations has become effective
(or shall become effective concurrently with such termination and release of the Liens granted to the Junior Secured Parties and the Junior
Representatives) and any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release prepared by the Company or any other Centertainment
Group Grantor, such Junior Representative will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Company’s or the other Centertainment
Group Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such instruments to evidence such termination and release of the Liens. Nothing in this Section 5.01(a) will
be deemed to affect any agreement of a Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Secured Parties under its Junior
Debt Facility, to release the Liens on the Junior Collateral as set forth in the relevant Junior Debt Documents and any Junior Lien Intercreditor
Agreement.
16
(b) Each
Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints each Senior Representative and any officer or agent of each Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Junior Representative or such
Junior Secured Party or in such Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time in such Senior Representative’s discretion,
for the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 5.01(a), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and
all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a), including
any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
(c) Unless
and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured
Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after an event of default under any Senior
Debt Document, of proceeds of Shared Collateral to the repayment of Senior Obligations pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents; provided
that nothing in this Section 5.01(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Junior Representatives
or the Junior Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Junior Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Junior Collateral Document, in the event the terms of a Senior Collateral Document and a Junior Collateral
Document each require any Centertainment Group Grantor to (i) make payment in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, (ii) deliver
or afford control over any item of Shared Collateral to, or deposit any item of Shared Collateral with, (iii) register ownership
of any item of Shared Collateral in the name of or make an assignment of ownership of any Shared Collateral or the rights thereunder to,
(iv) cause any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or other Person acting in a similar capacity to agree to comply, in
respect of any item of Shared Collateral, with instructions or orders from, or to treat, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral,
as the entitlement holder, (v) hold any item of Shared Collateral in trust for (to the extent such item of Shared Collateral cannot
be held in trust for multiple parties under applicable law), (vi) obtain the agreement of a bailee or other third party to hold any
item of Shared Collateral for the benefit of or subject to the control of or, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, to follow the
instructions of or (vii) obtain the agreement of a landlord with respect to access to leased premises where any item of Shared Collateral
is located or waivers or subordination of rights with respect to any item of Shared Collateral in favor of, in any case, both any Designated
Senior Representative and any Junior Representative or Junior Secured Party, such Grantor may, until the applicable Discharge of Senior
Obligations has occurred, comply with such requirement under the Junior Collateral Document as it relates to such Shared Collateral by
taking any of the actions set forth above only with respect to, or in favor of, the Designated Senior Representative.
Section 5.02. Insurance
and Condemnation Awards. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Designated Senior Representative and
the Senior Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Debt Documents,
(a) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (b) to
approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of
Senior Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, if in respect of the Shared Collateral, shall be
paid (i) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Senior Representative for
the benefit of Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Senior Debt Documents, (ii) second, after the occurrence
of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Junior Representative for the benefit of the Junior Secured Parties pursuant
to the terms of the applicable Junior Debt Documents and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (iii) third, if no Senior
Obligations or Junior Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party shall, at any time,
receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over
to the Designated Senior Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.
17
Section 5.03. Amendments
to Junior Collateral Documents.
(a) Without
the prior written consent of each Senior Representative, no Junior Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Junior Collateral Document, would be
prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to deliver to each Senior Representative copies
of (i) any amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Junior Collateral Documents and (ii) any new Junior Collateral
Documents promptly after effectiveness thereof. Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under
its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that each Junior Collateral Document under its Junior Debt Facility shall include the following language
(or language to similar effect reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative):
“Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the [Junior Representative] pursuant to this [Agreement] on any
Collateral consisting of assets of Muvico, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Company”), or any other Centertainment
Group Entity (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Collateral consisting of assets of AMC or any subsidiary thereof (other than any
Centertainment Group Entity)) shall be expressly subject and subordinate to the Liens and security interests granted in favor of the Senior
Credit Agreement Agent, the Senior 1L Notes Agent, the Intermediate Credit Agreement Agent and each Additional Senior Agent (each,
as defined in the Centertainment First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement referred to below) and (ii) the exercise of any right
or remedy by the [Junior Representative] hereunder shall be subject to the limitations and provisions of that certain Second Amended and
Restated First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2026 (as amended, restated, amended and restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Centertainment First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement”),
among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Senior Credit Agreement Agent (as defined therein), GLAS Trust Company, LLC, as Senior
1L Notes Agent (as defined therein), U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Intermediate Credit Agreement Agent (as defined
therein), GLAS Trust Company LLC, as Exchangeable Notes Agent (as defined therein), the other agents and representatives party thereto
from time to time, Holdings, the Company and the other parties thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms
of the Centertainment First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Centertainment
First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”
(b) In
the event that any Senior Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents
for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral
Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Designated Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Company or any
other Grantor thereunder in respect of any of the Shared Collateral (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral), then such
amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the comparable Junior Collateral Documents without
the consent of any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party and without any action by any Junior Representative, the Company
or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) releasing
any Lien on any Shared Collateral securing the applicable Junior Obligations, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted
by Section 5.01 and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Lien on such Shared Collateral securing the Senior
Obligations, (ii) imposing duties that are adverse on any Junior Representative without its consent or (iii) altering the terms
of the Junior Debt Documents to permit other Liens on the Shared Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Junior Debt Documents
as in effect on the date hereof or Article VI and (B) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have
been given to each Junior Representative within 10 Business Days after the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent.
18
(c) The
Senior Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms without the consent
of any Junior Secured Party; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Junior Representatives, no such amendment,
restatement, supplement or modification (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications) shall contravene any provision
of this Agreement. The Junior Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms
without the consent of any Senior Secured Party; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Senior Representatives,
no such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications) shall
contravene any provision of this Agreement.
Section 5.04. Rights
as Unsecured Creditors. The Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors
against the Company and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Junior Debt Documents and applicable law so long as such
rights and remedies do not violate and are not otherwise inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth
in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party of the
required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Junior Debt Documents so long as such receipt
is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party of rights or remedies as a
creditor in respect of Shared Collateral. In the event any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor
in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Junior Obligations,
such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior
Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair
or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior
Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.
Section 5.05. Gratuitous
Bailee for Perfection.
(a) Each
Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral
that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held,
and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of such Senior Representative, or
of agents or bailees of such Senior Representative (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled
Collateral”), or if it shall any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement
granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or
take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous
bailee for the relevant Junior Representatives, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant
Junior Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05. Each Junior Representative acknowledges
and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a perfected Lien on any Pledged or Controlled Collateral, such Junior Representative shall
also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for each Senior Representatives, in each case solely
for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Senior Collateral Documents (to the extent not otherwise perfected)
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05 and the Lien priority provided for herein.
19
(b) In
the event that any Senior Representative (or its agents or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the
Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative agrees to hold
such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Representatives and any assignee thereof, solely for the purpose
of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Junior Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 5.05.
(c) Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Senior Representative shall be
entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under
the Junior Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties with respect to
the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d) No
Senior Representative shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Junior Representatives or any Junior Secured Party to assure that any
of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person
or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities
of each Senior Representative under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral
and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent
and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Junior Representative.
(e) No
Senior Representative shall have by reason of the Junior Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship
in respect of any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party, and each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each
Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases each Senior Representative from all claims and liabilities
arising pursuant to such Senior Representative’s role under this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee with
respect to the Shared Collateral.
(f) Upon
the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each Senior Representative shall, at the Centertainment Group Grantors’ sole cost and expense,
(i) (A) deliver to the Designated Junior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral,
including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer
of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices
to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s
letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or (B) direct and deliver such
Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it
is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Centertainment Group Grantor issued
by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving
any Centertainment Group Grantor that the Designated Junior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.
The Company and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall
indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for
loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. No Senior
Representative has any obligation to follow instructions from the Designated Junior Representative in contravention of this Agreement.
(g) Neither
the Designated Senior Representative nor any of the other Senior Representatives or Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal
any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Company or any other Grantor to the Designated Senior Representative,
any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof,
or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of
such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however
existing or arising.
20
Section 5.06. When
Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge
of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Company or any other Centertainment Group Grantor incurs any Senior Obligations (other than in
respect of the payment of indemnities surviving the Discharge of Senior Obligations), then the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically
be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such
designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior
Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the
Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the granting by the Designated Senior Representative of
amendments, waivers and consents hereunder and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be
a Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new
Designated Senior Representative), each Junior Representative (including the Designated Junior Representative) shall promptly (a) enter
into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Company), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Company
or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Representative the rights of
a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to the Designated Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally
permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Junior Representative or any of
its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together
with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign
its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to
Shared Collateral, (c) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured
under the insurance policies of any Centertainment Group Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (d) notify any governmental
authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Centertainment Group Grantor that the new Designated Senior Representative
is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.
ARTICLE VI
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings
Section 6.01. Financing
and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Centertainment Group Grantor
shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior Representative shall desire to consent (or not object) to,
as applicable, the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the Company’s or any other Centertainment
Group Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of
any other Bankruptcy Law to be secured by the Senior Collateral (“DIP Financing”), then each Junior Representative,
for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that it will (as applicable) raise no objection
to and will not otherwise contest such use of such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except solely to the extent permitted
by Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens
securing the Senior Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed
hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto)
on the same basis as the Liens securing the Junior Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement,
(y) any adequate protection Liens provided to the Senior Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for professional
and United States Trustee fees agreed to by any Senior Representative. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior
Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, further agrees that it will (as
applicable) raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest (a) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction
against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations with respect to the Senior Collateral made by Designated Senior Representative,
any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, (b) any lawful exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right
to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale of Senior Collateral (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) or to exercise any rights under Section 1111(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Senior Collateral, (c) any other request
for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral
or (d) any sale or other disposition of any or all of the Senior Collateral for which any Senior Representative has consented that
provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations
and the Junior Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral
securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Junior Obligations pursuant to this Agreement;
without limiting the foregoing, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt
Facility, agrees that it may not raise any objections based on rights afforded by Section 363(e) or Section 363(f) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. In addition, the Junior Secured Parties are not deemed to have
waived any rights to credit bid on the Shared Collateral in any such sale or disposition in accordance with Section 363(k) of
the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law), so long as any such credit bid provides for
the payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations.
21
Section 6.02. Relief
from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf
of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any
other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Centertainment Group Grantor or take any action in derogation
thereof without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.
Section 6.03. Adequate
Protection. Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees
that none of them shall object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by the Designated
Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection in any form, (b) any
objection by the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief,
action or proceeding based on the Designated Senior Representative’s or any other Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured
Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the allowance and/or payment (whether or not allowed or allowable in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) of interest, fees, expenses, premiums (including make-whole premiums), and/or other amounts
of the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, including, without limitation,
as adequate protection or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01,
in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection
in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim in connection with any
DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy
Law, then each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, may seek or
request adequate protection in the form of (as applicable) a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority
administrative expense claim, which Lien and/or superpriority administrative expense claim (as applicable) is subordinated to the Liens
securing and providing adequate protection for, and claims with respect to, the Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations
relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing and claims with respect to the Junior Obligations are so subordinated
to the Liens securing and claims with respect to the Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (ii) in the event any Junior Representatives,
for themselves and on behalf of the Junior Secured Parties under their Junior Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and
such adequate protection is granted in the form of (as applicable) a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority
administrative expense claim, then such Junior Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under their
Junior Debt Facilities, agree that the Senior Representatives shall also be granted (as applicable) a senior Lien on such additional or
replacement collateral as security and adequate protection for the Senior Obligations and/or a senior superpriority administrative expense
claim, and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the Junior Obligations
and/or superpriority administrative expense claim shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing and claims with respect
to the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens and claims granted to
the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing and claims with respect to the Junior
Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing and claims with respect to Senior Obligations under this Agreement.
22
Section 6.04. Preference
Issues. If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or
otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because
the payment of such amount was declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount
(a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff, recoupment or otherwise,
then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not
occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall still be entitled to a future Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered
amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect,
and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each
Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of
them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in
accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance
action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth
in this Agreement.
Section 6.05. Separate
Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party
under its Junior Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents
and the Junior Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, (b) the Junior Secured Parties’ claims
against the Grantors in respect of their Liens on the Shared Collateral constitute junior claims separate and apart (and of a different
class) from the senior claims of the Senior Secured Parties against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral, and (c) because
of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Junior Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior
Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding of any Centertainment Group Grantor. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Secured Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral
constitute only a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Junior Representative,
for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions
from the Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in
respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient
(for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Secured Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal and pre-petition interest, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition
interest, fees, premiums (including make-whole premiums), and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the Junior Obligations), with each Junior Representative, for itself and on
behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Designated Senior
Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from or on account of the Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to
effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Secured Parties.
This Section 6.05 is intended to govern the relationship between the classes of claims held by the Junior Secured Parties,
on the one hand, and a class of claims comprised of the Senior Obligations, on the other hand, in respect of the Shared Collateral.
23
Section 6.06. No
Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any
way limit the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Secured Party, including the seeking by any Junior
Secured Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Junior Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Debt
Documents or otherwise.
Section 6.07. Application.
This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement
of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights set forth herein shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing
of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession
and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.
Section 6.08. Other
Matters. To the extent that any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, such Junior Representative, on behalf of
itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent
of the Designated Senior Representative.
Section 6.09. 506(c) Claims.
Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party
under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code
or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs
or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral or other collateral for the Senior Obligations.
Section 6.10. Reorganization
Securities. Without limitation of the provisions of Section 4.01, if, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any
Centertainment Group Grantor, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor
are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Junior Obligations, then, to the
extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Junior Obligations are secured by Liens
upon the same assets or properties (or any obligor thereon holds any Deemed Collateral or assets of the type included in the definition
of “Deemed Collateral”), the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant
to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations (and to such Deemed Collateral or assets).
Section 6.11. Post-Petition
Interest. None of the Junior Representatives or any other Junior Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any
Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Centertainment Group
Grantor of Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, costs, expenses, premiums (including make-whole premiums)
and/or other charges, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (for this purpose ignoring all claims and Liens
held by the Junior Secured Parties on the Shared Collateral).
Section 6.12. Plan
Voting. No Junior Representative or any other Junior Secured Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured
creditor) may propose, support, or vote in favor of any Plan of Reorganization (and each shall be deemed to have voted to reject any Plan
of Reorganization) that is inconsistent with, or in violation of, the terms of this Agreement unless such plan (a) pays off, in cash
in full, all Senior Obligations or (b) is accepted by the class of holders of Senior Obligations voting thereon in accordance with
Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE VII
Reliance; etc.
Section 7.01. Reliance.
The consent by the Senior Secured Parties to the execution and delivery of the Junior Debt Documents to which the Senior Secured Parties
have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties
to AMC or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Junior Representative,
on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Junior Secured Parties
have, independently and without reliance on the Designated Senior Representative or any other Senior Representative or other Senior Secured
Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the
Junior Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Junior Debt Documents or
this Agreement.
Section 7.02. No
Warranties or Liability. Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility,
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Designated Senior Representative nor any other Senior Representative or other Senior Secured
Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness,
collectability or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority
of any Liens thereon. The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit
under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the
Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Representatives
and the Junior Secured Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the
Designated Senior Representative nor any other Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Representative
or Junior Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event
of default or default under any agreement with AMC or any of its subsidiaries (including the Junior Debt Documents), regardless of any
knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Designated Senior Representative,
the other Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties have not otherwise
made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each
other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Senior Obligations, the Junior Obligations
or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Centertainment Group Grantor’s
title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Section 7.03. Obligations
Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives,
the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of:
(a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Debt Document;
(b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations,
or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise,
of the terms of any Senior Debt Document or of the terms of any Junior Debt Document;
25
(c) any
exchange of any security interest in any Shared Collateral or any other collateral or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether
in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations or any guarantee thereof;
(d) the
commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Grantor; or
(e) any
other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, (i) the Company or any other Grantor
in respect of the Senior Obligations or (ii) any Junior Representative or Junior Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
[Reserved]
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous
Section 9.01. Conflicts.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Debt Document
or any Junior Debt Document, in each case, as it relates to the relative rights and obligations amongst the Senior Representatives and
the Senior Secured Parties, on one hand, and the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties, on the other hand, with respect
to Shared Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect
to any Senior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the Senior Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between
the Senior Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, with respect to the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties (as amongst
themselves), the provisions of the Senior Intercreditor Agreement shall govern, in each case as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the relative rights and obligations of the Senior First Lien Representatives and the Senior First Lien Secured Parties (as amongst themselves)
with respect to any Senior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the Senior First Lien Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and in
the event of any conflict between the Senior First Lien Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, with respect to the Senior
First Lien Representatives and the Senior First Lien Secured Parties (as amongst themselves), the provisions of the Senior First Lien
Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement shall govern, in each case as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the relative rights and obligations of the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect
to any Junior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between
the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, with respect to the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties
(as amongst themselves), the provisions of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern, in each case as applicable.
For the avoidance of doubt,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Senior Debt Document or Junior Debt Document, the priorities,
rights and remedies set forth herein apply solely to the Collateral defined herein and that is granted by the Centertainment Group Grantors
and this Agreement shall not be construed to apply to or govern any other collateral owned or granted by any Grantor that is not a Centertainment
Group Grantor.
26
Section 9.02. Continuing
Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 5.06 and Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue
to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and
the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Junior Representatives or any Junior Secured Party, to
extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Grantor constituting
Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction
shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 9.03. Amendments;
Waivers.
(a) No
failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
(b) Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified (other than pursuant to any Joinder Agreement)
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Representative (and with respect to any such termination,
waiver, amendment or modification which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Company’s consent or which increases the obligations
or reduces the rights of the Company or any other Grantor, with the consent of the Company).
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and
the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be
subject to the terms hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the consent of any other Representative or Secured Party, the Designated Senior Representative may effect amendments
and modifications to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect any incurrence of any Additional Senior Debt Obligations or any
Additional Junior Debt Obligations in compliance with the Senior Credit Agreement, the Senior 1L Notes Indenture, the Intermediate
Credit Agreement, the Exchangeable Notes Indenture, any Additional Senior Debt Documents and any Additional Junior Debt Documents.
27
Section 9.04. Information
Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and the other Grantors. The Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives,
the Senior Secured Parties, the Designated Junior Representative, the other Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties shall
each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Company and the other Grantors and all
endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk
of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Obligations. The Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives,
the Senior Secured Parties, the Designated Junior Representative, the other Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties shall
have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances
or otherwise. In the event that the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Designated
Junior Representative, any other Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or
from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Designated
Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Designated Junior Representative, the other Junior
Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty,
including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide
any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose
any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is
otherwise required to maintain confidential.
Section 9.05. Subrogation.
Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby agrees not to assert
any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.
Section 9.06. Application
of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Senior Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and
reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate,
consistent with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Junior Representative, on behalf of
itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment
of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release
of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily
or secondarily liable therefor.
Section 9.07. Additional
Grantors. AMC agrees that, if any subsidiary of AMC shall become a Centertainment Group Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly
cause such subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex II. Upon such execution
and delivery, such subsidiary will become a Grantor and a Centertainment Group Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if
originally named as a Grantor herein and the term “Centertainment Group Grantor” will be automatically amended, as applicable.
The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder. The rights and obligations of
each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
Section 9.08. Dealings
with Grantors. Upon any application or demand by the Company or any Centertainment Group Grantor to any Senior Representative or Junior
Representative to take or permit any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement or under any Collateral Document (if such action
is subject to the provisions hereof), any such Company or Centertainment Group Grantor, as appropriate, shall furnish to the applicable
Junior Representative or Senior Representative a certificate of an appropriate officer (an “Officer’s Certificate”)
stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement or such Collateral Document, as the case may be, relating
to the proposed action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of
such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document relating to such particular application
or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
28
Section 9.09. Additional
Debt Facilities. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then-extant Senior Debt Documents and the
Junior Debt Documents, the Company or any other Centertainment Group Grantor may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes
of Additional Senior Debt and/or Additional Junior Debt. Any such additional class or series of Additional Senior Debt (the “Senior
Class Debt”) may be secured by a senior Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the Senior Collateral
Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Senior Class Debt (each, a “Senior Class Debt
Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Senior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect
of any such Senior Class Debt being referred to as the “Senior Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this
Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v), as applicable, of this Section 9.09.
Any such additional class or series of Additional Junior Debt (the “Junior Class Debt” and, together with
the Senior Class Debt, collectively, the “Class Debt”) may be secured by a junior priority, subordinated
Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the Junior Collateral Documents for such Junior Class Debt, if and
subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Junior Class Debt (each, a “Junior Class Debt Representative”;
the Junior Class Debt Representatives, together with the Senior Class Debt Representatives, collectively, the “Class Debt
Representatives”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Junior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect
of any such Junior Class Debt being referred to as the “Junior Class Debt Parties”; the Junior Class Debt
Parties, together with the Senior Class Debt Parties, collectively, the “Class Debt Parties”), becomes
a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v), as applicable, of
this Section 9.09. In order for a Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement:
(i) such
Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered a Joinder Agreement to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated
Junior Representative substantially in the form of Annex III (if such Class Debt Representative is a Senior Class Debt
Representative) or Annex IV (if such Class Debt Representative is a Junior Class Debt Representative) (with such
changes as may be reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative and such Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which
it becomes a Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Class Debt Representative is the Representative
and the related Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby;
(ii) the
Company shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Representative true and complete copies
of each of the Senior Debt Documents or Junior Debt Documents, as the case may be, relating to such Class Debt, certified as being
true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Company;
(iii) in
the case of any Junior Class Debt, all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to the Junior Collateral Documents
necessary to confirm and perfect the junior priority Liens securing the relevant Junior Obligations relating to such Junior Class Debt
shall have been made, executed and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform
such filings or recordings have been taken in the reasonable judgment of such Junior Class Debt Representative), and all fees and
taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid (or acceptable provisions to make such payments have been taken in the reasonable judgment
of the Designated Senior Representative);
(iv) the
Company shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Representative an Officer’s Certificate
stating that such Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Additional Junior Debt Obligations, as the case may be, are permitted by each
applicable Senior Debt Document and applicable Junior Debt Document to be incurred, or to the extent a consent is otherwise required to
permit the incurrence of such Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Additional Junior Debt Obligations, as the case may be, under any
applicable Senior Debt Document or Junior Debt Document, the relevant Grantors have obtained the requisite consent; and
(v) the
Senior Debt Documents or Junior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt shall provide, in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Designated Senior Representative, that each Class Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject
to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt.
29
Section 9.10. Consent

Parties of the Debt Facility for which it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:

in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, the courts of the

(d) agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other

to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in
this Section 9.10 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Priorities and Agreements with Respect to Shared
Collateral
Section 2.01 Priority
of Claims.
(a) Anything
contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.03),
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Controlling Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party is taking
action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding of the Borrower (including any adequate protection payments) or any other Grantor or any First Lien Secured
Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement, but including the Intercreditor Agreements)
with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral by any
Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party and proceeds of any such distribution (all such payments, distributions, and proceeds
of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Shared Collateral and all such payments and proceeds of any such distribution being
collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to each
Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of any Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.03,
to the payment in full of the First Lien Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the First
Lien Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents and (iii) THIRD,
after the Discharge of all First Lien Obligations, to the Borrower and the other Grantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests
may appear, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same pursuant to the Centertainment/Odeon First Lien/Intermediate
Lien Intercreditor Agreement and, thereafter, with respect to the Collateral granted by the Centertainment Group Grantors, the Centertainment
First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if in effect, or otherwise, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct; provided
that following the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor, solely for purposes of this Section 2.01(a) and
not for the purposes of the Credit Agreement or any Additional First Lien Documents, in the event the value of the Shared Collateral is
not sufficient for the entire amount of Post-Petition Interest on the First Lien Obligations to be allowed under Sections 506(a) and
(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other Bankruptcy Law in such Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding, the amount of First Lien Obligations of each Series of First Lien Obligations shall include only the maximum
amount of Post-Petition Interest allowable under Sections 506(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable
provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other Bankruptcy Law in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a First Lien Secured Party) has a lien or security interest
that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of First Lien Obligations, after giving effect to the Intercreditor
Agreements (as applicable), but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest
of any other Series of First Lien Obligations (such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of
any Shared Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the
Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of First Lien Obligations with respect to which such Impairment
exists. If, despite the provisions of this Section 2.01(a), any First Lien Secured Party shall receive any payment or other
recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the First Lien Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with
this Section 2.01(a), such First Lien Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all First
Lien Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 2.01(a).

amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a) or the provisions
of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the First Lien Secured Parties of any Series.
(c) Notwithstanding
the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of First Lien Obligations
granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable
law or the Secured Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations of any Series or
any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03), each First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees
that (i) the Liens securing each Series of First Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority and (ii) the
benefits and proceeds of the Shared Collateral shall be shared among the First Lien Secured Parties as provided herein.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or any other First Lien Security Documents to the contrary, Collateral consisting of cash and cash equivalents
pledged to secure Credit Agreement Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit or otherwise held
by the Administrative Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to Sections 2.05(j) or 2.11(b) of the Credit Agreement
(or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in such sections of the Credit Agreement and will not constitute
Shared Collateral.
(e) Equitably
Subordinated First Lien Secured Parties.
(i) Notwithstanding
Section 2.01(a), to the extent that the Proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the First Lien Obligations of any Series and
this is due to any Equitably Subordinated First Lien Secured Party being a First Lien Secured Party of such Series, the amount of Proceeds
to be applied in respect of the First Lien Obligations of such Series shall be distributed to the other First Lien Secured Parties
of such Series, and such Equitably Subordinated First Lien Secured Party shall not be entitled to receive any part of such amount.
(ii) An
Equitably Subordinated First Lien Secured Party shall not have the benefit, but only the obligations, of any sharing provisions under
this Agreement or any other Secured Credit Document. It shall not be entitled to receive any payment under or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Secured Credit Document in respect of any Equitably Subordinated Obligations, and no Collateral Agent shall be
required to make any such payment to it.
(iii) To
the extent that any Equitably Subordinated Obligations would result in the subordination of First Lien Obligations owed to any other First
Lien Secured Party pursuant to Section 39 paragraph 1 no. 5 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung), or would in
any way prejudice the validity or enforceability of any Lien granted under any First Lien Security Document (including any German Security
Document) or of any guarantee or indemnity under any Secured Credit Document, the relevant Equitably Subordinated First Lien Secured Party
shall be deemed not to be a First Lien Secured Party under any First Lien Security Document and shall not benefit from such guarantee
or indemnity.

Secured Parties or the rights of the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Controlling Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect
thereof or (B) otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) any Collateral Agent or any other First Lien
Secured Party may file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading
made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims or Liens of such First Lien Secured Party, including
any claims secured by the Shared Collateral, in each case, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the equal priority of the Liens on the Shared Collateral, the Controlling Collateral Agent may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such
Controlling Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Collateral Agent or Non-Controlling Secured Party
will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Collateral Agent or Controlling Secured
Party or any other exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent or Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the
Shared Collateral. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any First Lien Secured Party or Collateral
Agent with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.

of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, the allowability of any
claims asserted with respect thereto or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.

Lien Security Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any First Lien Security Document or the allowability
of any claims asserted with respect thereto, or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other
provisions of this Agreement; (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be,
to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of
the Shared Collateral by the Controlling Collateral Agent, (iii) it will not institute in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
or other proceeding any claim against the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party seeking damages from or other
relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and none of the Controlling Collateral
Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Controlling Collateral
Agent or other First Lien Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) it
will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other
disposition of such Collateral and (v) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise,
to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.
(b) Each
First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment
in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any First Lien Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it
under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any
intercreditor agreement with respect to Shared Collateral), at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the First Lien Obligations,
then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other First Lien Secured Parties that have a security
interest in such Shared Collateral and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Controlling
Collateral Agent, to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01.
Section 2.04 Automatic
Release of Liens; Amendments to First Lien Security Documents.
(a) If,
at any time the Controlling Collateral Agent forecloses upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral resulting in
a sale or disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor
of each Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Series of First Lien Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically
be released and discharged; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to
Section 2.01.
(b) Each
First Lien Secured Party agrees that each Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment to any First Lien Security Document that does
not violate this Agreement.
(c) Each
Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments
as shall reasonably be requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided
for in this Section.
13
Section 2.05 Certain
Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.
(a) This
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law or similar law by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
(b) If
the Borrower and/or any other Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy
Code or any other applicable Bankruptcy Law and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”)
to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law and/or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, each First Lien Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing
or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) and/or to any use of cash collateral
that constitutes Shared Collateral unless the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Controlling Secured Party, shall then oppose or object
to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens and/or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens
are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured
Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties
(other than any Liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the
extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First Lien
Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared
Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit
of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of
such proceeding, with the same priority vis-a-vis all the other First Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First Lien Secured
Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the First Lien Secured
Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any First Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection
or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing and/or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-a-vis the First Lien Secured
Parties (other than any Liens of the First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if
any amount of such DIP Financing and/or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied
pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, and (D) if any First Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection with respect
to First Lien Obligations subject hereto, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing and/or use
of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01; provided that the
First Lien Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any
Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties of such Series or its Collateral Agent that shall not constitute
Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the First Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object
to any other First Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First Lien Secured
Parties in connection with a DIP Financing and/or use of cash collateral.
Section 2.06 Reinstatement.
In the event that any of the First Lien Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for
whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement or avoidance of a preference or fraudulent transfer, under the Bankruptcy
Code, any Bankruptcy Law or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid,
the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First Lien Obligations shall
again have been paid in full in cash.
14
Section 2.07 Insurance.
As between the First Lien Secured Parties, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy
or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation
or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.
Section 2.08 Refinancings.
The First Lien Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent
(except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Secured Credit Document) of any
First Lien Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof;
provided that such Refinancing indebtedness shall only be subject to this Agreement if (a) (i) such Refinancing indebtedness
is required, pursuant to its terms or pursuant to the terms of any Secured Credit Document, to be subject to this Agreement or (ii) the
Company has elected to subject such Refinancing indebtedness to the terms of this Agreement, and (b) the Collateral Agent for the
holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness.
Section 2.09 Possessory
Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.
(a) The
Controlling Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Shared Collateral
in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other
First Lien Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral,
if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09;
provided that at any time after the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations of the Series for which the Controlling Collateral
Agent is acting, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), promptly deliver all Possessory
Collateral to the Controlling Collateral Agent (after giving effect to the Discharge of such First Lien Obligations) together with any
necessary endorsements reasonably requested by such Controlling Collateral Agent (or make such other arrangements as shall be reasonably
requested by such Controlling Collateral Agent to allow such Controlling Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral).
Pending delivery to such Controlling Collateral Agent, each other Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory
Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party and any assignee,
solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First
Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09.
(b) The
duties or responsibilities of the Controlling Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this Section 2.09 shall
be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other
First Lien Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such First Lien Secured Parties therein.
Section 2.10 Spanish
Insolvency Law. After the occurrence of an insolvency event in relation to a Spanish Grantor or a Grantor having its centre of main
interest (as that term is used in Article 3(1) of the Council of the European Union Regulation No. 2015/848 on Insolvency
Proceedings) in Spain, if any of the First Lien Secured Parties is held to be a "specially related person" pursuant to article
93 of the Spanish Insolvency Law (Ley Concursal) approved by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2020, of 5 May (Real Decreto Legislativo
1/2020, de 5 de mayo, por el que se aprueba el texto refundido de la Ley Concursal) (as amended, restated or replaced from time to
time) in relation to article 92.5 thereof (a “Specially Related Secured Party”), and as a result of which the claims
of such Specially Related Secured Party under this Agreement are considered to be subordinated claims for the purposes of insolvency proceedings
(a “Subordinated Claim”), all payments received by the First Lien Secured Party (other than any Specially Related Secured
Party) not related to Subordinated Claims shall be distributed in their entirety among all of the Secured Parties with respect to such
insolvency proceedings (other than any Specially Related Secured Party) in proportion to their respective participation and in accordance
with the terms set out in this Agreement. In turn, all payments received by a Specially Related Secured Party related to a Subordinated
Claim shall be distributed exclusively to such Specially Related Secured Party.
15
Article III
Existence and Amounts of Liens and Obligations
Section 3.01 Determinations
with Respect to Amounts of Liens and Obligations. Whenever any Collateral Agent shall be required, in connection with the exercise
of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First Lien Obligations of any
Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First Lien Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information
be furnished to it in writing by each other Collateral Agent and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information
so furnished; provided, however, that if any Collateral Agent shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested
information, the requesting Collateral Agent shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise
of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower. Each Collateral Agent may rely conclusively,
and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence
(or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any First Lien Secured Party
or any other Person as a result of such determination.
Article IV
The Controlling Collateral Agent
Section 4.01 Appointment
and Authority.
(a) Each
of the First Lien Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Controlling Collateral Agent to take such actions on
its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Controlling Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers
and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties also authorizes the Controlling Collateral
Agent, at the request of the Borrower, to execute and deliver each Intercreditor Agreement in the capacity as “Designated Senior
Representative”, or the equivalent agent, however referred to, for the First Lien Secured Parties under such agreements, and authorizes
the Controlling Collateral Agent, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to, or otherwise given to, the “Designated Senior Representative”, or the equivalent agent, however
referred to, for the First Lien Secured Parties under such agreements, by the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, together
with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Controlling Collateral Agent and any co-agents,
sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Controlling Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents
for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the First Lien Security
Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreements (as applicable), at the direction
of the Controlling Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IV and Article VIII
of the Credit Agreement and the equivalent provision of any Initial Additional First Lien Document and any Additional First Lien Document
(as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” named therein) as if set forth in
full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the First Lien Secured Parties, and each Collateral Agent, hereby
agrees to provide such cooperation and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent to facilitate and
effect actions taken or intended to be taken by the Controlling Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article IV, such cooperation
to include execution and delivery of notices, instruments and other documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Controlling Collateral
Agent to effect such actions, and joining in any action, motion or proceeding initiated by the Controlling Collateral Agent for such purposes.
16
(b) Each
Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the
First Lien Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the
First Lien Security Documents, without regard to any rights to which the holders of the Non-Controlling Secured Obligations would otherwise
be entitled as a result of such Non-Controlling Secured Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party
agrees that none of the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to
marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First Lien Obligations), or to sell,
dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations),
in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any
such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured
Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or
hereafter have against the Controlling Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent for any other Series of First Lien Obligations or
any other First Lien Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions that do not violate this Agreement that
any Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection
or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure
to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First Lien Obligations
from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents or any other agreement related
thereto or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First
Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Collateral Agent or any holders of First Lien Obligations in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy
Law or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority
under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law by, any Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries,
as debtor-in-possession.
Section 4.02 Rights
as a First Lien Secured Party.
(a) The
Person serving as the Controlling Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a First Lien Secured
Party under any Series of First Lien Obligations that it holds as any other First Lien Secured Party of such Series and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Controlling Collateral Agent and the term “First Lien Secured Party” or “First
Lien Secured Parties” or (as applicable) “Credit Agreement Secured Party”, “Credit Agreement Secured Parties,”
“Initial Additional First Lien Secured Party,” “Initial Additional First Lien Secured Parties,” “Additional
First Lien Secured Party” or “Additional First Lien Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or
unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Controlling Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.
Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Grantors or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were
not the Controlling Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other First Lien Secured Party.
17
Section 4.03 Exculpatory
Provisions. The Controlling Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Controlling Collateral Agent:
(i) shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby; provided that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion
or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Controlling Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable
law;
(iii) shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to a Grantor or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Controlling Collateral
Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;
(iv) shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (1) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (2) in
reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of the Borrower stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
The Controlling Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Series of First Lien Obligations
unless and until notice describing such Event Default and referencing the applicable agreement is given to the Controlling Collateral
Agent;
(v) shall
not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Agreement or any other First Lien Security Document, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (3) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (4) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other First Lien Security Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the First Lien Security Documents,
(5) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Series of First Lien Obligations, or (6) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in any Secured Credit Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Controlling Collateral Agent; and
(vi) need
not segregate money held hereunder from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Controlling Collateral Agent shall be under
no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing.
Section 4.04 Collateral
and Guaranty Matters. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the applicable Collateral Agent, at its option
and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by such Collateral Agent under any First Lien Security Document
(including, in the case of any German Security Document, by way of retransfer (Rückübertragung) or reassignment (Rückabtretung)
of the relevant Collateral to the relevant Grantor) in accordance with Section 2.04 or upon receipt of a written request from
the Borrower stating that the release of such Lien is permitted by the terms of each then extant Secured Credit Document.
18
Article V
First Lien Collateral Agent as Parallel Debt
Creditor
Section 5.01 Parallel
Debt (Covenant to pay the First Lien Collateral Agent).
(a) Subject
to any limitations relating to any guarantee or other obligation of any Grantor set forth in any Secured Credit Document or First Lien
Security Document (including, without limitation, any limitations applicable to any Grantor organized under the laws of the Federal Republic
of Germany) (together, the “Guarantee Limitations”), the Borrower and each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
undertakes to pay to the First Lien Collateral Agent (in its capacity as Parallel Debt Creditor) amounts equal to the First Lien Obligations
owing from time to time by such Grantor or the Borrower to any First Lien Secured Party under the Secured Credit Documents, as and when
such First Lien Obligations are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents.
(b) Each
Grantor, the Borrower and the First Lien Collateral Agent acknowledges that the obligations of each Grantor and the Borrower under paragraph
(a) above are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations
of that Grantor or the Borrower to any First Lien Secured Party under any Secured Credit Documents (other than the Parallel Debt) (its
“Corresponding Debt”), nor shall it constitute the First Lien Collateral Agent and any First Lien Secured Parties as
joint creditors of any Corresponding Debt, nor shall the amounts for which each Grantor or the Borrower is liable under paragraph (a) above
(its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that:
(i) the
Parallel Debt of each Grantor and the Borrower shall be decreased and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall not demand payment to the
extent that its Corresponding Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged;
(ii) the
Corresponding Debt of each Grantor and the Borrower shall be decreased and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall not demand payment to
the extent that its Parallel Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and
(iii) the
aggregate amount payable by any Grantor or the Borrower in respect of its Parallel Debt shall at no time exceed the aggregate amount of
its Corresponding Debt then due and payable.
(c) For
the purposes of this Section 5.01, the First Lien Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims
in respect of the Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust and instead shall be owed to it in its individual capacity. The Collateral
granted under the First Lien Security Documents to the First Lien Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the First
Lien Collateral Agent in its capacity as Parallel Debt Creditor and shall not be held on trust.
(d) All
moneys received or recovered by the First Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.01, and all amounts received or
recovered by the First Lien Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any Collateral granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be
applied in accordance with Section 2.01 and, upon such application, shall reduce the Corresponding Debt in accordance with
clause (ii) of paragraph (b) above. For purposes of Section 2.01, Section 3.01 and any determination
of the amount of First Lien Obligations of any Series outstanding at any time, the Parallel Debt shall not constitute First Lien
Obligations separate from or in addition to the Corresponding Debt.
19
(e) Without
limiting or affecting the First Lien Collateral Agent’s rights against the Grantors and the Borrower (whether under this Section 5.01
or under any other provision of the Secured Credit Documents), each Grantor and the Borrower acknowledges that:
(i) nothing
in this Section 5.01 shall impose any obligation on the First Lien Collateral Agent to pay any sum to any Grantor or the Borrower
or otherwise under any Secured Credit Document, except in its capacity as a First Lien Secured Party; and
(ii) for
the purpose of any vote taken under any Secured Credit Document, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation
or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a First Lien Secured Party.
(f) Any
Guarantee Limitations applicable to any guarantee or other obligation of a Grantor or the Borrower under any Secured Credit Document or
First Lien Security Document shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Parallel Debt of such Grantor or the Borrower (to the extent the
Parallel Debt is not so limited automatically by operation of such Guarantee Limitations).
(g) If the First Lien Collateral Agent, with the approval of each other Collateral Agent and each Junior Representative (as such term is defined
in the Centertainment/Odeon First Lien/Intermediate Lien Intercreditor Agreement), determines that (i) all First Lien Obligations and
all Junior Obligations (as such term is defined in the Centertainment/Odeon First Lien/Intermediate Lien Intercreditor Agreement) have
been fully and finally discharged and (ii) no First Lien Secured Party and no Junior Secured Party (as such term is defined in the Centertainment/Odeon
First Lien/Intermediate Lien Intercreditor Agreement) is under any commitment, obligation or liability (actual or contingent) to make
advances or provide other financial accommodation to any Grantor pursuant to the Secured Credit Documents and the Junior Debt Documents
(as such term is defined in the Centertainment/Odeon First Lien/Intermediate Lien Intercreditor Agreement), the First Lien Collateral
Agent (acting in its capacity as Parallel Debt Creditor and/or as trustee (Treuhänder) pursuant to Section 5.02) shall, at the request
and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors, promptly release, without recourse or warranty, and, as applicable, retransfer or reassign
to the relevant Grantor all Collateral held by it under the German Security Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Parallel
Debt of each Grantor and the Borrower shall be discharged in full upon the payment or discharge in full of its Corresponding Debt.
Section 5.02 Appointment
and Authority. Each First Lien Secured Party (other than the First Lien Collateral Agent) hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral
Agent as trustee (Treuhänder) and administrator for the purpose of accepting and administering the German Security Documents
for and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties and the First Lien Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment on the terms and
subject to the conditions set out in this Section 5.02. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall (i) in case of non-accessory
(nicht akzessorische) security rights created under the German Security Documents, hold and administer and, as the case may be,
enforce such Liens and/or Collateral in its own name, but as trustee (Treuhänder) for the account of the First Lien Secured
Parties; and (ii) in case of accessory (akzessorische) security rights created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments
under the German Security Documents, administer and, as the case may be, enforce any and all Liens and/or Collateral in the name and for
and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties or in its own name in accordance with Section 5.01, but in each case for the
account of the First Lien Secured Parties. Each First Lien Secured Party hereby authorizes the First Lien Collateral Agent (whether or
not by or through employees or agents) (i) to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated
to or conferred upon the First Lien Collateral Agent under the German Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as
are reasonably incidental thereto, (ii) to take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in connection
with the German Security Documents, and (iii) to agree to, execute and deliver on its behalf any release or confirmation of release
(including by way of retransfer or reassignment) of any Lien or Collateral under any German Security Document in accordance with this
Agreement (including Section 2.04 and Section 4.04). By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each person
to whom a First Lien Obligation is owed shall be deemed to have appointed the First Lien Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be
bound by any document creating First Lien Obligation as a First Lien Secured Party.
20
Section 5.03 Successor
First Lien Collateral Agent. Upon any resignation or replacement of the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the Credit
Agreement, the retiring First Lien Collateral Agent shall transfer the Parallel Debt and all Collateral held by it under the German Security
Documents to the successor First Lien Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon succeed to the rights and obligations of the First Lien
Collateral Agent under this Article V as Parallel Debt Creditor and trustee (Treuhänder), and shall, until such
transfer has become effective, continue to hold the Parallel Debt and such Collateral in accordance with this Article V. Upon
the Discharge of First Lien Obligations that are Credit Agreement Obligations prior to the Discharge of all other First Lien Obligations,
the First Lien Collateral Agent shall in the same manner transfer the Parallel Debt and such Collateral to the Controlling Collateral
Agent. No Grantor shall be required to grant any new or additional security in connection with any such transfer.

Section 6.02 Waivers;
Amendment; Joinder Agreements.
(a) No
failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 6.02(b),
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand
on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified (other than pursuant to any Joinder Agreement)
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Collateral Agent (and with respect to any such termination,
waiver, amendment or modification that by the terms of this Agreement requires the Borrower’s consent or that increases the obligations
or reduces the rights of the Borrower or any other Grantor, with the consent of the Borrower).
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the consent of any First Lien Secured Party, any Additional Agent may become a party hereto by execution and delivery
of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 6.13 and upon such execution and delivery, such Additional Agent and the
Additional First Lien Secured Parties and Additional First Lien Obligations of the Series for which such Additional Agent is acting
shall be subject to the terms hereof.
22
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the consent of any other Collateral Agent or First Lien Secured Party, the Controlling Collateral Agent may effect
amendments and modifications to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect any incurrence of any Additional First Lien Obligations
in compliance with the Credit Agreement, any Initial Additional First Lien Documents and any Additional First Lien Documents.
Section 6.03 Parties
in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns, as well as the other First Lien Secured Parties, all of whom are intended to be bound by, and to be third party beneficiaries
of, this Agreement.
Section 6.04 Survival
of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
Section 6.05 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission
shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed
in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery
thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions
contemplated hereunder by electronic means.
Section 6.06 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any
other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 6.07 Authorization.
By its signature, each Person executing this Agreement on behalf of a party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto
that it is duly authorized to execute this Agreement. The First Lien Collateral Agent represents and warrants that this Agreement is binding
upon the Credit Agreement Secured Parties. The Initial Additional Agent represents and warrants that this Agreement is binding upon the
Initial Additional First Lien Secured Parties.
Section 6.08 Submission
to Jurisdiction Waivers; Consent to Service of Process. Each Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Secured Parties
of the Series for whom it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits
for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment
in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, the courts of the
United States of America for the Southern District of New York, sitting in New York County, and appellate courts from any thereof;
23
(b) consents
that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue
of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not
to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees
that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or
any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person (or its Collateral Agent) at the address referred to in Section 6.01;
(d) agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any First Lien Secured Party) to effect service of process in
any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any party hereto (or any First Lien Secured Party) to sue in any other jurisdiction;
and
(e) waives,
to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in
this Section 6.08 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
Section 6.09 GOVERNING
LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) With
the exception of Section 5.02 which shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Federal Republic
of Germany, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE

(b) EACH
PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT

Section 6.10 Headings.
Article, Section and Annex headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not
to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 6.11 Conflicts.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the other First Lien
Security Documents or Additional First Lien Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
Section 6.12 Provisions
Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the First Lien Secured Parties in relation to one another. None of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other creditor thereof
shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided that nothing in this Agreement
(other than Section 2.04, 2.05 or 2.09) is intended to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions
of the Credit Agreement or any Additional First Lien Documents), and none of the Borrower or any other Grantor may rely on the terms hereof
(other than Section 2.04, 2.05, 2.09 or Article V). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or
shall impair the obligations of any Grantor to pay the First Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance
with their terms.
Section 6.13 Additional
First Lien Obligations. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then-extant Credit Agreement, the
Initial Additional First Lien Documents and the Additional First Lien Documents, the Borrower or any other Grantor may incur or issue
and sell one or more series or classes of Additional First Lien Obligations. Any such additional class or series of Additional First Lien
Obligations (the “Senior Class Debt”) may be secured by a Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and
pursuant to the First Lien Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Collateral Agent of any such Senior Class Debt (each,
a “Senior Class Debt Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Senior Class Debt (such
Collateral Agent and holders in respect of any Senior Class Debt being referred to as the “Senior Class Debt Parties”),
becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of this
Section 6.13.
24
In order for a Senior Class Debt
Representative to become a party to this Agreement,
(i) such
Senior Class Debt Representative, the Controlling Collateral Agent and each Grantor shall have executed and delivered a Joinder Agreement
(with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the Controlling Collateral Agent and such Senior Class Debt Representative) pursuant
to which such Senior Class Debt Representative becomes a Collateral Agent and Additional Agent hereunder, and the Senior Class Debt
in respect of which such Senior Class Debt Representative is the Collateral Agent and the related Senior Class Debt Parties
become subject hereto and bound hereby;
(ii) the
Borrower shall have delivered to the Controlling Collateral Agent true and complete copies of each of the Additional First Lien Documents
relating to such Senior Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of Borrower;
(iii) the
Borrower shall have delivered to the Controlling Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Additional First Lien
Obligations are permitted by each applicable Secured Credit Document to be incurred, or to the extent a consent is otherwise required
to permit the incurrence of such Additional First Lien Obligations under any Secured Credit Document, the relevant Grantors have obtained
the requisite consent; and
(iv) the
Additional First Lien Documents relating to such Senior Class Debt shall provide, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Controlling
Collateral Agent, that each Senior Class Debt Party with respect to such Senior Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the
provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Senior Class Debt.
Section 6.14 Integration.
This Agreement, together with the other Secured Credit Documents and the First Lien Security Documents, represents the entire agreement
of each of the Grantors and the First Lien Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings,
representations or warranties by any Grantor, any Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party relative to the subject matter
hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Credit Documents or the First Lien Security Documents.
Section 6.15 Information
Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrower and the other Grantors. The Controlling Collateral Agent, the other Collateral Agents
and the Secured Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Borrower
and the other Grantors and all endorsers or guarantors of the First Lien Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon
the risk of nonpayment of the First Lien Obligations. The Controlling Collateral Agent, the other Collateral Agents and the Secured Parties
shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances
or otherwise. In the event that the Controlling Collateral Agent, any other Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, in its sole discretion,
undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make,
and Controlling Collateral Agent, the other Collateral Agents and the Secured Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express
or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information
so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake
any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party
wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.
25
Section 6.16 Additional
Grantors. The Borrower agrees that, if any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall become a Centertainment Group Grantor or an Odeon Group
Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly cause such Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument
substantially in the form of Annex III hereto. Upon such execution and delivery, such subsidiary will become a Centertainment
Group Grantor or an Odeon Group Grantor, as applicable, hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein
and the term “Centertainment Group Grantor” or “Odeon Group Grantor”, as applicable, will be automatically amended,
as applicable. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder. The rights and
obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party
to this Agreement.
Section 6.17 Further
Assurances. Each Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each First Lien Secured Party under the applicable Credit Agreement, Initial
Additional First Lien Documents or Additional First Lien Debt Facility, agrees that it will take such further action and shall execute
and deliver such additional documents and instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as the other parties hereto may reasonably request
to effectuate the terms of, and the Lien priorities contemplated by, this Agreement.
Section 6.18 First
Lien Collateral Agent and Initial Additional Agent. It is understood and agreed that:
(a) the
First Lien Collateral Agent is entering into this Agreement in its capacities as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Credit
Agreement and the provisions of Article VIII and Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement applicable to it as administrative agent
or collateral agent thereunder or any provision of the Credit Agreement and the Security Documents (solely for this purpose, as defined
in the Credit Agreement) granting or extending any rights, protections, privileges, indemnities and immunities to the administrative agent
or the collateral agent thereunder shall also apply to it as First Lien Collateral Agent and as Controlling Collateral Agent hereunder;
and
(b) the
Initial Additional Agent is entering in this Agreement in its capacity as collateral agent under the Initial Additional First Lien Documents
and the provisions of the Initial Additional First Lien Documents granting or extending any rights, protections, privileges, indemnities
and immunities to the Collateral Agent thereunder shall also apply to the Initial Additional Agent hereunder.
For the avoidance of doubt,
the parties hereto acknowledge that in no event shall the First Lien Collateral Agent or Initial Additional Agent be responsible or liable
for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective
of whether any such party has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
Section 6.19 Spanish
Law Security Documents Matters. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Controlling Collateral Agent, at
its option and in its discretion and in accordance with the Secured Credit Documents, to, in their name and on their behalf:
(a) execute,
deliver and perform (even if it involves delegation or sub-empowerment, substitution, self-contracting (autocontratación),
multi-representation or conflict of interest), each of the Secured Credit Documents to which the Controlling Collateral Agent, in its
condition as collateral agent, is or is intended to be a party to; and/or
26
(b) at
the written direction of the First Lien Secured Parties, on its own or through a sub-agent to (A) enter into and/or raise to the
status of a Spanish Public Document (documento público) any document related to this appointment and, specifically, those
deemed necessary or appropriate by the First Lien Secured Parties (including, but not limited to, documents of formalization, acknowledgement,
confirmation, modification or release, acceptance of any security interest and acceptance of acknowledgement of debts by the Grantors),
(B) execute, sign, ratify, raise to the status of a Spanish Public Document (including the notarization of any assignment or transfer),
modify, restate, novate, amend, extend, totally or partially assign, transfer, fulfil, grant, release, waive or cancel this Agreement,
any Spanish law governed First Lien Security Document and any other Secured Credit Document; (C) perform any duties or obligations
and enforce any rights and powers under this Agreement, any Spanish law governed First Lien Security Document or any other Secured Credit
Document, as well as any rights or powers in connection therewith; (D) appear before a notary public and accept, execute, amend,
assign, transfer or ratify any type of guarantee or security, or irrevocable power of attorney, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
whether personal or real, granted in favour of the First Lien Secured Parties under the Secured Credit Document (whether in its own capacity
or as agent of other parties) over any and all shares, rights, receivables, goods and chattels, fixing their price for the purposes of
an auction and the address for serving of notices and submitting to the jurisdiction of law courts by waiving its own forum, and release
such guarantees or security, all of the foregoing under the terms and conditions which the First Lien Secured Parties may agree, and/or
sign any Spanish Public Documents that the First Lien Secured Parties may deem fit; (E) ratify any such private or Spanish Public
Document in the name or on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties; (F) execute any and all deeds, documents, and carry out any
and all acts and things, required in connection with the execution of any Secured Credit Document, or the execution of any further Spanish
Public Document of amendment (escritura pública de rectificación o subsanación) that may be required for the
purpose or in connection with the power granted in this Section 6.19; (G) execute in the name of any of the First Lien Secured
Parties any novation, amendment or ratification to any Secured Credit Document and appear before a notary public and raise into the status
of a Spanish Public Document such documents; and (H) carry out, execute, effect and perform all the actions that may be necessary
or convenient for the purposes of complying with the purpose of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the granting of any public
and/or, private document and/or any action required for the purposes of enforcing in Spain any First Lien Security Document or any Spanish
law governed First Lien Security Document.
Each First Lien Secured Party
undertakes to the Controlling Collateral Agent that, promptly upon request, such First Lien Secured Party and any secured party under
the First Lien Obligations party hereto will ratify and confirm all transactions entered into and other actions by the Controlling Collateral
Agent (or any of its substitutes or delegates) in the proper exercise of the power granted to it hereunder. It is hereby agreed that the
relationship of the First Lien Secured Parties to the Controlling Collateral Agent in relation to any Spanish law governed First Lien
Security Document shall be construed as one of principal and agent. The Collateral granted under the Spanish law governed First Lien Security
Documents will be granted in favor of each and every First Lien Secured Party (represented or acting through the Controlling Collateral
Agent, in its condition as collateral agent, by means of the faculties included herein) to secure the First Lien Obligations (expressly
excluding any parallel debt structure) and shall not be held on trust unless expressly permitted by law. Nevertheless, the Controlling
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to accept the Collateral granted under the Spanish law governed First Lien Security Documents in the
name and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties by virtue of the powers (mandato) granted in this Section 6.19.
27
Section 6.20 Spanish
Executive Proceedings. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement will be formalized in a Spanish Public Document in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement for the purposes of Article 517 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law. Clause 9.17 of the Credit Agreement
shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Agreement.
Section 6.21 Release
from Self-Dealing. Each of the Collateral Agents and the other First Lien Secured Parties hereby releases the First Lien Collateral
Agent (including in its capacity as Parallel Debt Creditor and as trustee (Treuhänder) pursuant to Section 5.02)
and any sub-agent, attorney-in-fact or delegate appointed by it from the restrictions pursuant to Section 181 of the German Civil
Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and any similar restrictions under any other applicable law, in each case to the extent legally
possible for such Collateral Agent or First Lien Secured Party. The First Lien Collateral Agent may grant sub-powers of attorney, including
a release from the restrictions pursuant to Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch), to any Person
for the purposes of the German Security Documents. Any Collateral Agent or First Lien Secured Party prevented by applicable law or its
constitutional documents from granting such release shall notify the First Lien Collateral Agent without undue delay.

ARTICLE II
Priorities and Agreements with Respect to
Shared Collateral
Section 2.01. Subordination.
(a) Notwithstanding
the date, time, manner or order of filing or recordation of any document or instrument or grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens
granted to any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Parties on the Shared Collateral or of any Liens granted to any Senior Representative
or the Senior Secured Parties on the Shared Collateral (or any actual or alleged defect in any of the foregoing) and notwithstanding any
provision of the UCC, any applicable law, any Junior Debt Document or any Senior Debt Document or any other circumstance whatsoever, each
Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby agrees that any Lien on
the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any (i) Senior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Senior
Secured Parties or any Senior Representative or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute,
operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority over and be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Shared
Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Junior Obligations, and (ii) Junior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf
of any Junior Secured Parties or any Junior Representative or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by
grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Shared
Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations.
(b) All
Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and
prior to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Junior Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such
Liens securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations are subordinated to any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting
to secure any other obligation of the Company, any Centertainment Group Grantor, any Odeon Group Grantor, or any other Person or otherwise
subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed.
Section 2.02. Nature
of Senior Lender Claims. Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility,
acknowledges that (a) the terms of the Senior Debt Documents and the Senior Obligations may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified, and the Senior Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (b) the aggregate amount of the
Senior Obligations may be increased in the manner permitted under the then-extant Senior Debt Documents and the then-extant Junior Debt
Documents, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Junior Representatives or the Junior Secured Parties and without affecting
the provisions hereof. The Lien priorities provided for in Section 2.01 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any
amendment, supplement or other modification, or any Refinancing, of either the Senior Obligations or the Junior Obligations, or any portion
thereof. As between the Company, the other Centertainment Group Grantors and the Odeon Group Grantors and the Junior Secured Parties,
the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company, the Centertainment Group Grantors and the
Odeon Group Grantors contained in any Junior Debt Document with respect to the incurrence of additional Senior Obligations.
10
Section 2.03. Prohibition
on Contesting Liens. Each of the Junior Representatives, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt
Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding
(including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, allowability, priority or enforceability of any
Lien securing, or the allowability or value of any claims asserted with respect to, any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held)
by or on behalf of any of the Senior Secured Parties or any Senior Representative or other agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Collateral,
and the Designated Senior Representative and each other Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Secured Party under
its Senior Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting,
in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, allowability, priority or enforceability
of any Lien securing, or the allowability or value of any claims asserted with respect to, any Junior Obligations held (or purported to
be held) by or on behalf of any of any Junior Representative or any of the Junior Secured Parties in the Junior Collateral. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Designated Senior Representative
or any other Senior Representative to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as provided
in Section 2.01) or any of the Senior Debt Documents.
Section 2.04. No
New Liens. The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred (a) no Centertainment
Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of such Centertainment Group
Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor to secure any Junior Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such
asset or property of such Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor to secure the Senior Obligations and (b) if any Junior
Representative or any Junior Secured Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon
Group Grantor securing any Junior Obligations that are not also subject to the senior-priority Liens securing Senior Obligations under
the Senior Collateral Documents, such Junior Representative or Junior Secured Party (i) shall notify the Designated Senior Representative
promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor shall promptly grant a similar
Lien on such assets or property to the Senior Representatives as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Senior
Representatives as security for the Senior Obligations (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof)
and (ii) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to the Senior Representatives, shall be deemed to hold and have held
such Lien for the benefit of the Senior Representatives as security for the Senior Obligations. If any Junior Representative or any Junior
Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds or payment from or as a result of any Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.04,
it shall pay such proceeds or payments over to the Designated Senior Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.
Section 2.05. Perfection
of Liens. Except for the agreements of the Designated Senior Representative pursuant to Section 5.05, none of the Designated
Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining
the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Junior Representatives or the Junior Secured Parties.
The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Secured Parties and
the Junior Secured Parties and shall not impose on the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives, the Senior
Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives, the Junior Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of
the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person
or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.
11
Section 2.06. [Reserved].
Section 2.07. Refinancings.
The Senior Obligations and the Junior Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice
to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Senior Debt Document
or any Junior Debt Document, as applicable) of any party hereto, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other
provisions hereof; provided that, such Refinancing indebtedness shall only be subject to this Agreement if (i) (a) such
Refinancing indebtedness is required, pursuant to its terms or pursuant to the terms of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Debt Document,
to be subject to this Agreement or (b) the Company has elected to subject such Refinanced indebtedness to the terms of this Agreement,
and (ii) the collateral agent for the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf
of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness and such collateral agent and Grantors shall have complied with Section 9.09
with respect to such indebtedness.
Section 2.08. Equitably
Subordinated Secured Parties.
(a) Notwithstanding
Section 4.01, to the extent that the Proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the Senior Obligations or the Junior Obligations
of any Series and this is due to any Equitably Subordinated Secured Party being a Secured Party of such Series, the amount of Proceeds
to be applied in respect of the Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations, as applicable, of such Series shall be distributed to
the other Secured Parties of such Series, and such Equitably Subordinated Secured Party shall not be entitled to receive any part of
such amount.
(b) An
Equitably Subordinated Secured Party shall not have the benefit, but only the obligations, of any sharing provisions under this Agreement
or any other Debt Document. It shall not be entitled to receive any payment under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Debt
Document in respect of any Equitably Subordinated Obligations, and no Representative shall be required to make any such payment to it.
(c) To
the extent that any Equitably Subordinated Obligations would result in the subordination of Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations owed
to any other Secured Party pursuant to Section 39 paragraph 1 no. 5 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung), or would
in any way prejudice the validity or enforceability of any Lien granted under any Collateral Document (including any German Security Document)
or of any guarantee or indemnity under any Debt Document, the relevant Equitably Subordinated Secured Party shall be deemed not to be
a Secured Party under any Collateral Document and shall not benefit from such guarantee or indemnity.
12
ARTICLE III
Enforcement
Section 3.01. Exercise
of Remedies.
(a) So
long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced
by or against the Company or any other Grantor, (i) neither any Junior Representative nor any Junior Secured Party will (x) exercise
or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Junior
Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (y) contest,
protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Shared Collateral or any other Senior Collateral
by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Obligations,
the exercise of any right by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party (or any
agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Senior Obligations under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver
or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative
or any Senior Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party
of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Senior Collateral
or the Senior Obligations, or (z) object to the forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure
proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Shared Collateral in respect of Senior Obligations
and (ii) except as otherwise provided herein, the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives and the Senior
Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff, recoupment, and the right to credit
bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Shared Collateral without
the consent of any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party (but any such determinations shall be in consultation with the Junior
Representatives); provided, however, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the
Company or any other Grantor, any Junior Representative may file a claim, proof of claim, or statement of interest with respect to the
Junior Obligations under its Junior Debt Facility, (B) any Junior Representative may take any action in order to create, prove, perfect,
preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on, the Shared Collateral, (C) to the
extent not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, any Junior Representative and the Junior Secured Parties may exercise their rights
and remedies as unsecured creditors, to the extent provided in Section 5.04, (D) any Junior Representative may exercise
the rights and remedies provided for in Section 6.03 and may vote on a proposed Plan of Reorganization in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding of the Company or any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 6.12),
(E) any Junior Representative and the Junior Secured Parties may file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings
in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance
of the claims or Liens of the Junior Secured Parties, including any claims secured by the Junior Collateral, in each case in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and (F) from and after the Junior Enforcement Date, the Designated Junior Representative or any
person authorized by it may exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any
Junior Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure),
in each case of clauses (A) through (F) above, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Collateral, the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives
and the Senior Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order
and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights
of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with
such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable
jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
13
(b) So
long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured
Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that it will not take or receive any Shared Collateral or any Proceeds of Shared Collateral
in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect
of Junior Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred,
except as expressly provided in the proviso in Section 3.01(a) and in Article VI, the sole right of the Junior
Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Shared Collateral in respect
of Junior Obligations pursuant to the Junior Debt Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of
the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.
(c) Subject
to the proviso in Section 3.01(a), (i) each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party
under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that neither such Junior Representative nor any such Junior Secured Party will take any action
that would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies undertaken by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative
or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange,
transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Junior Representative,
for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such
Junior Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Designated Senior Representative,
the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted
on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Designated Senior Representative,
any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Junior Secured Parties.
(d) Each
Junior Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Junior Debt Document
shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives
or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Debt Documents.
(e) Subject
to the proviso in Section 3.01(a), until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Senior Representative or any
Person authorized by it shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Shared Collateral and shall
have the exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding
with respect thereto. Following the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Junior Representative or any Person authorized by
it shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral and shall have the exclusive right to
direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the
Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the
Junior Representatives, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Junior Collateral Documents; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Junior Representative or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the
Junior Secured Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior Obligations as may be otherwise
required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Junior Secured Parties or the Junior Obligations.
Section 3.02. Cooperation.
Subject to the proviso in Section 3.01(a), each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under
its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join
with any Person (other than the Senior Secured Parties and the Designated Senior Representative upon the request thereof) in commencing,
any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Shared Collateral
under any of the Junior Debt Documents.
Section 3.03. Actions
upon Breach. Should any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to
take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy
with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, the Designated Senior Representative or any other
Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of the Company or any other Grantor) or the
Company may obtain relief against such Junior Representative or such Junior Secured Party by injunction, specific performance or other
appropriate equitable relief. Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility,
hereby (a) agrees that the Senior Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Junior Representatives or any Junior Secured
Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that the Company, any other Grantor or
the Senior Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (b) irrevocably waives any defense
based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any
action that may be brought by the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party.
14
ARTICLE IV
Payments
Section 4.01. Application
of Proceeds. After an event of default under any Senior Debt Document has occurred and until such event of default is cured or waived,
so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, (x) any Shared Collateral, (y) any Proceeds thereof or (z) any
distributions received on account of claims secured by Shared Collateral (i) in connection with the sale or other disposition of,
or collection on, any of the foregoing (x) through (z) or (ii) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including any
adequate protection payments) or otherwise, shall in each case be applied by the Designated Senior Representative to the Senior Obligations
in such order as specified in the Senior Debt Documents (including the Senior First Lien Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement) until the
Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Senior Representative shall deliver
promptly to the Designated Junior Representative any Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with
any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Designated Junior Representative
to the Junior Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Junior Debt Documents and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 4.02. Payments
Over. After an event of default under any Senior Debt Document has occurred and until such event of default is cured or waived, so
long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, any Shared Collateral, Proceeds thereof or distributions on account of claims
secured by Shared Collateral received by any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party (i) in connection with the exercise
of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) or otherwise or (ii) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including
any adequate protection payments), in each case, shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the
Designated Senior Representative for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements,
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, until such time as the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred.
The Designated Senior Representative is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for each of the Junior Representatives
or any such Junior Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
ARTICLE V
Other Agreements
Section 5.01. Releases.
(a) Each
Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that, in the event
of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any specified item of Shared Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity
interests of any subsidiary of Holdings) (i) in connection with the exercise of remedies in respect of Shared Collateral by a Senior
Representative or (ii) if not in connection with the exercise of remedies in respect of Shared Collateral by a Senior Representative,
so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is permitted by the terms of the Junior Debt Documents and the Senior Debt Documents,
the Liens granted to the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral (but such Liens shall not be
deemed to be so released on the Proceeds thereof that were not applied to the payment of Senior Obligations) to secure Junior Obligations
shall terminate and be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with or to the same extent as the termination
and release of all Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure Senior Obligations (including, in the case of any German Security
Document, by way of retransfer (Rückübertragung) or reassignment (Rückabtretung) of the relevant Collateral
to the relevant Grantor). Upon delivery to a Junior Representative of an Officer’s Certificate stating that any such termination
and release of Liens securing the Senior Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective concurrently with such termination
and release of the Liens granted to the Junior Secured Parties and the Junior Representatives) and any necessary or proper instruments
of termination or release prepared by the Company, any other Centertainment Group Grantor, or any Odeon Group Grantor, such Junior Representative
will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Company’s, the other Centertainment Group Grantor’s, or, as applicable,
the Odeon Group Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such instruments to evidence such termination and release of the Liens. Nothing
in this Section 5.01(a) will be deemed to affect any agreement of a Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of
the Junior Secured Parties under its Junior Debt Facility, to release the Liens on the Junior Collateral as set forth in the relevant
Junior Debt Documents and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
15
(b) Each
Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints each Senior Representative and any officer or agent of each Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Junior Representative or such
Junior Secured Party or in such Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time in such Senior Representative’s discretion,
for the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 5.01(a), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and
all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a), including
any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
(c) Unless
and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured
Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after an event of default under any Senior
Debt Document, of proceeds of Shared Collateral to the repayment of Senior Obligations pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents; provided
that nothing in this Section 5.01(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Junior Representatives
or the Junior Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Junior Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Junior Collateral Document, in the event the terms of a Senior Collateral Document and a Junior Collateral
Document each require any Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor to (i) make payment in respect of any item of Shared
Collateral, (ii) deliver or afford control over any item of Shared Collateral to, or deposit any item of Shared Collateral with,
(iii) register ownership of any item of Shared Collateral in the name of or make an assignment of ownership of any Shared Collateral
or the rights thereunder to, (iv) cause any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or other Person acting in a similar capacity
to agree to comply, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, with instructions or orders from, or to treat, in respect of any item
of Shared Collateral, as the entitlement holder, (v) hold any item of Shared Collateral in trust for (to the extent such item of
Shared Collateral cannot be held in trust for multiple parties under applicable law), (vi) obtain the agreement of a bailee or other
third party to hold any item of Shared Collateral for the benefit of or subject to the control of or, in respect of any item of Shared
Collateral, to follow the instructions of or (vii) obtain the agreement of a landlord with respect to access to leased premises where
any item of Shared Collateral is located or waivers or subordination of rights with respect to any item of Shared Collateral in favor
of, in any case, both any Designated Senior Representative and any Junior Representative or Junior Secured Party, such Grantor may, until
the applicable Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, comply with such requirement under the Junior Collateral Document as it relates
to such Shared Collateral by taking any of the actions set forth above only with respect to, or in favor of, the Designated Senior Representative.
Section 5.02. Insurance
and Condemnation Awards. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Designated Senior Representative and
the Senior Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Debt Documents,
(a) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (b) to
approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of
Senior Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, if in respect of the Shared Collateral, shall be
paid (i) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Senior Representative for
the benefit of Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Senior Debt Documents, (ii) second, after the occurrence
of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Junior Representative for the benefit of the Junior Secured Parties pursuant
to the terms of the applicable Junior Debt Documents and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (iii) third, if no Senior
Obligations or Junior Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party shall, at any time,
receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over
to the Designated Senior Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.
16
Section 5.03. Amendments
to Junior Collateral Documents.
(a) Without
the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative, no Junior Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Junior Collateral Document,
would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to deliver to the Designated Senior
Representative copies of (i) any amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Junior Collateral Documents and (ii) any
new Junior Collateral Documents promptly after effectiveness thereof.
(b) In
the event that any Senior Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents
for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral
Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Designated Senior Representative, the Senior Secured Parties, the Company or any
other Grantor thereunder in respect of any of the Shared Collateral (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral), then such
amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the comparable Junior Collateral Documents without
the consent of any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party and without any action by any Junior Representative, the Company
or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) releasing
any Lien on any Shared Collateral securing the applicable Junior Obligations, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted
by Section 5.01 and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Lien on such Shared Collateral securing the Senior
Obligations, (ii) imposing duties that are adverse on, or modifying any rights of, any Junior Representative without its consent
or (iii) altering the terms of the Junior Debt Documents to permit other Liens on the Shared Collateral not permitted under the terms
of the Junior Debt Documents as in effect on the date hereof or Article VI and (B) written notice of such amendment,
waiver or consent shall have been given to each Junior Representative within 10 Business Days after the effectiveness of such amendment,
waiver or consent.
(c) The
Senior Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms without the consent
of any Junior Secured Party; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Junior Representatives, no such amendment,
restatement, supplement or modification (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications) shall contravene any provision
of this Agreement. The Junior Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms
without the consent of any Senior Secured Party; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Senior Representatives,
no such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications) shall
contravene any provision of this Agreement.
Section 5.04. Rights
as Unsecured Creditors. The Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors
against the Company and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Junior Debt Documents and applicable law so long as such
rights and remedies do not violate and are not otherwise inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth
in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party of the
required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Junior Debt Documents so long as such receipt
is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party of rights or remedies as a
creditor in respect of Shared Collateral. In the event any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor
in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Junior Obligations,
such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior
Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair
or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior
Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.
17
Section 5.05. Gratuitous
Bailee for Perfection.
(a) Each
Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral
that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held,
and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of such Senior Representative, or
of agents or bailees of such Senior Representative (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled
Collateral”), or if it shall any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement
granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or
take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous
bailee for the relevant Junior Representatives, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant
Junior Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.
(b) In
the event that any Senior Representative (or its agents or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the
Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative agrees to hold
such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Representatives and any assignee thereof, solely for the purpose
of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Junior Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 5.05.
(c) Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Senior Representative shall be
entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under
the Junior Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties with respect to
the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d) No
Senior Representative shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Junior Representatives or any Junior Secured Party to assure that any
of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person
or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities
of each Senior Representative under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral
and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent
and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Junior Representative.
(e) No
Senior Representative shall have by reason of the Junior Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship
in respect of any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party, and each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each
Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases each Senior Representative from all claims and liabilities
arising pursuant to such Senior Representative’s role under this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee with
respect to the Shared Collateral.
18
(f) Upon
the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each Senior Representative shall, at the Centertainment Group Grantors’ or Odeon Group Grantors’
sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Junior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to
do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Representative or any of its agents or
bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary
endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any
landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or
(B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable
insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Centertainment
Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any
condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor that the Designated Junior Representative
is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding. The Company and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is
required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by
such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result
of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. No Senior Representative has any obligation to follow instructions from
the Designated Junior Representative in contravention of this Agreement.
(g) Neither
the Designated Senior Representative nor any of the other Senior Representatives or Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal
any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Company or any other Grantor to the Designated Senior Representative,
any other Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof,
or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of
such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however
existing or arising.
Section 5.06. When
Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge
of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Company, any other Centertainment Group Grantor, or any Odeon Group Grantor incurs any Senior
Obligations (other than in respect of the payment of indemnities surviving the Discharge of Senior Obligations), then the Discharge of
Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any
actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the
applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this
Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the granting
by the Designated Senior Representative of amendments, waivers and consents hereunder and the agent, representative or trustee for the
holders of such Senior Obligations shall be a Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of such
incurrence (including the identity of the new Designated Senior Representative), each Junior Representative (including the Designated
Junior Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Company), including amendments
or supplements to this Agreement, as the Company or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide
the new Senior Representative the rights of a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to the Designated Senior Representative,
to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such
Junior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged
or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities
intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting
it rights or access to Shared Collateral, (c) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss
payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor issued by such insurance
carrier and (d) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Centertainment Group
Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor that the new Designated Senior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.

ARTICLE VI
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings
Section 6.01. Financing
and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Company any other Centertainment Group Grantor, or
any Odeon Group Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Designated Senior Representative shall desire
to consent (or not object) to, as applicable, the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the
Company’s, any other Centertainment Group Grantor’s, or any other Odeon Group Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363
or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law to be secured by the Senior Collateral
(“DIP Financing”), then each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its
Junior Debt Facility, agrees that it will (as applicable) raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest such use of such cash or
other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except solely to the extent permitted by Section 6.03, will not request adequate
protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Obligations are subordinated to
or pari passu with the Liens securing such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated)
its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens
securing the Junior Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (y) any adequate protection
Liens provided to the Senior Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees
agreed to by the Designated Senior Representative. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative,
for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, further agrees that it will (as applicable) raise
no objection to and will not otherwise contest (a) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure
or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations with respect to the Senior Collateral made by Designated Senior Representative, any other
Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, (b) any lawful exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit
bid Senior Obligations at any sale of Senior Collateral (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy
Code or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) or to exercise any rights under Section 1111(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Senior Collateral, (c) any other request
for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral
or (d) any sale or other disposition of any or all of the Senior Collateral for which the Designated Senior Representative has consented
that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations
and the Junior Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral
securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Junior Obligations pursuant to this Agreement;
without limiting the foregoing, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt
Facility, agrees that it may not raise any objections based on rights afforded by Section 363(e) or Section 363(f) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. In addition, the Junior Secured Parties are not deemed to have
waived any rights to credit bid on the Shared Collateral in any such sale or disposition in accordance with Section 363(k) of
the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law), so long as any such credit bid provides for
the payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations.
Section 6.02. Relief
from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf
of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any
other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor or take
any action in derogation thereof without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative as it relates exclusively to
Shared Collateral.
20
Section 6.03. Adequate
Protection. Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees
that none of them shall object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by the Designated
Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection in any form, (b) any
objection by the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief,
action or proceeding based on the Designated Senior Representative’s or any other Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured
Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the allowance and/or payment (whether or not allowed or allowable in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) of interest, fees, expenses, premiums (including make-whole premiums), and/or other amounts
of the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, including, without limitation,
as adequate protection or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01,
in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection
in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim in connection with any
DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy
Law, then each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, may seek or
request adequate protection in the form of (as applicable) a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority
administrative expense claim, which (A) Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing and providing adequate protection for, and claims
with respect to, the Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens
securing and claims with respect to the Junior Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing and claims with respect to the Senior
Obligations under this Agreement and (B) superpriority administrative expense claim is subordinated to all superpriority administrative
expense claims of the Senior Secured Parties on the same basis as the other claims of the Junior Secured Parties are so subordinated to
the claims of the Senior Secured Parties under this Agreement and (ii) in the event any Junior Representatives, for themselves and
on behalf of the Junior Secured Parties under their Junior Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection
is granted in the form of (as applicable) a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense
claim, then such Junior Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under their Junior Debt Facilities,
agree that the Senior Representatives shall also be granted (as applicable) a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral
as security and adequate protection for the Senior Obligations and/or a senior superpriority administrative expense claim, and that any
Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the Junior Obligations and/or superpriority
administrative expense claim shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing and claims with respect to the Senior Obligations
and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens and claims granted to the Senior Secured Parties
as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing and claims with respect to the Junior Obligations are so subordinated
to such Liens securing and claims with respect to Senior Obligations under this Agreement.
Section 6.04. Preference
Issues. If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or
otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because
the payment of such amount was declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount
(a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff, recoupment or otherwise,
then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not
occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall still be entitled to a future Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered
amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect,
and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each
Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of
them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in
accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance
action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth
in this Agreement.
21
Section 6.05. Separate
Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party
under its Junior Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents
and the Junior Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, (b) the Junior Secured Parties’ claims
against the Grantors in respect of their Liens on the Shared Collateral constitute junior claims separate and apart (and of a different
class) from the senior claims of the Senior Secured Parties against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral, and (c) because
of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Junior Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior
Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding of any Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in
the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Secured Parties in respect
of the Shared Collateral constitute only a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims),
then each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges
and agrees that all distributions from the Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured
claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of
the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Secured Parties), the Senior Secured Parties
shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal and pre-petition interest, all amounts
owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, premiums (including make-whole premiums), and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable
in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the Junior Obligations), with each Junior
Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing
to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from or on account of the Shared
Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim
or recovery of the Junior Secured Parties. This Section 6.05 is intended to govern the relationship between the classes of
claims held by the Junior Secured Parties, on the one hand, and a class of claims held by the Senior Secured Parties, on the other hand,
in respect of the Shared Collateral.
Section 6.06. No
Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any
way limit the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Secured Party, including the seeking by any Junior
Secured Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Junior Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Debt
Documents or otherwise.
Section 6.07. Application.
This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement
of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights set forth herein shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing
of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession
and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.
Section 6.08. Other
Matters. To the extent that any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, such Junior Representative, on behalf of
itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees not to assert any such rights with respect to the Shared Collateral
without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.
22
Section 6.09. 506(c) Claims.
Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party
under its Junior Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code
or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs
or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral or other collateral for the Senior Obligations.
Section 6.10. Reorganization
Securities. Without limitation of the provisions of Section 4.01, if, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any
Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of
the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Junior Obligations,
then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Junior Obligations are
secured by Liens upon the same assets or properties (or any obligor thereon holds any Deemed Collateral or assets of the type included
in the definition of “Deemed Collateral”), the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations
pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations (and to such Deemed Collateral or assets).
Section 6.11. Post-Petition
Interest. None of the Junior Representatives or any other Junior Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any
Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Centertainment Group
Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor of Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, costs, expenses, premiums
(including make-whole premiums) and/or other charges, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise exclusively as
it relates to the Shared Collateral governed by this Agreement.
Section 6.12. Plan
Voting. No Junior Representative or any other Junior Secured Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured
creditor) may propose, support, or vote in favor of any Plan of Reorganization (and each shall be deemed to have voted to reject any Plan
of Reorganization) that is inconsistent with, or in violation of, the terms of this Agreement unless such plan (a) pays off, in cash
in full, all Senior Obligations or (b) is accepted by the class of holders of Senior Obligations voting thereon in accordance with
Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 6.13. Spanish Insolvency Law. After the occurrence of an insolvency event in relation to a Spanish Grantor or
a Grantor having its centre of main interest (as that term is used in Article 3(1) of the Council of the European Union
Regulation No. 2015/848 on Insolvency Proceedings) in Spain, if any of the Secured Parties is held to be a "specially
related person" pursuant to articles 283 of the Spanish Insolvency Law in relation to article 281 thereof (a
“Specially Related Secured Party”), and as a result of which the claims of such Specially Related Secured Party
under this Agreement are considered to be subordinated claims for the purposes of insolvency proceedings (a “Subordinated
Claim”), all payments received by the Secured Parties (other than any Specially Related Secured Party) not related to
Subordinated Claims shall be distributed in their entirety among all of the Secured Parties with respect to such insolvency
proceedings (other than any Specially Related Secured Party) in proportion to their respective participation and in accordance with
the terms set out in this Agreement. In turn, all payments received by a Specially Related Secured Party related to a Subordinated
Claim shall be distributed exclusively to such Specially Related Secured Party.
ARTICLE VII
Reliance; etc.
Section 7.01. Reliance.
The consent by the Senior Secured Parties to the execution and delivery of the Junior Debt Documents to which the Senior Secured Parties
have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties
to AMC or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Junior Representative,
on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Junior Secured Parties
have, independently and without reliance on the Designated Senior Representative or any other Senior Representative or other Senior Secured
Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the
Junior Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Junior Debt Documents or
this Agreement.
23
Section 7.02. No
Warranties or Liability. Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility,
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Designated Senior Representative nor any other Senior Representative or other Senior Secured
Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness,
collectability or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority
of any Liens thereon. The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit
under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the
Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Representatives
and the Junior Secured Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the
Designated Senior Representative nor any other Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Representative
or Junior Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event
of default or default under any agreement with AMC or any of its subsidiaries (including the Junior Debt Documents), regardless of any
knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Designated Senior Representative,
the other Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties have not otherwise
made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each
other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Senior Obligations, the Junior Obligations
or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to
or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Section 7.03. Obligations
Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives,
the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of:
(a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Debt Document;
(b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations,
or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise,
of the terms of any Senior Debt Document or of the terms of any Junior Debt Document;
(c) any
exchange of any security interest in any Shared Collateral or any other collateral or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether
in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations or any guarantee thereof;
(d) the
commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Grantor; or
(e) any
other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, (i) the Company or any other Grantor
in respect of the Senior Obligations or (ii) any Junior Representative or Junior Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.
24
ARTICLE VIII
Senior Credit Agreement Agent as Parallel
Debt Creditor
Section 8.01. Parallel
Debt (Covenant to pay the Senior Credit Agreement Agent).
(a) Subject
to any limitations relating to any guarantee or other obligation of any Grantor set forth in any Junior Debt Document or Junior Collateral
Document (including, without limitation, any limitations applicable to any Grantor organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of
Germany) (together, the “Guarantee Limitations”), the Borrower and each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
undertakes to pay to the Senior Credit Agreement Agent (in its capacity as Parallel Debt Creditor) amounts equal to the Junior Obligations
owing from time to time by such Grantor or the Borrower to any Junior Secured Party under the Junior Debt Documents, as and when such
Junior Obligations are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the applicable Junior Debt Documents.
(b) Each
Grantor, the Borrower and the Senior Credit Agreement Agent acknowledges that the obligations of each Grantor and the Borrower under paragraph
(a) above are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations
of that Grantor or the Borrower to any Junior Secured Party under any Junior Debt Documents (other than the Parallel Debt) (its “Corresponding
Debt”), nor shall it constitute the Senior Credit Agreement Agent and any Junior Secured Parties as joint creditors of any Corresponding
Debt, nor shall the amounts for which each Grantor or the Borrower is liable under paragraph (a) above (its “Parallel Debt”)
be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that:
(i) the
Parallel Debt of each Grantor and the Borrower shall be decreased and the Senior Credit Agreement Agent shall not demand payment to the
extent that its Corresponding Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged;
(ii) the
Corresponding Debt of each Grantor and the Borrower shall be decreased and the Senior Credit Agreement Agent shall not demand payment
to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and
(iii) the
aggregate amount payable by any Grantor or the Borrower in respect of its Parallel Debt shall at no time exceed the aggregate amount of
its Corresponding Debt then due and payable.
(c) For
the purposes of this Section 8.01, the Senior Credit Agreement Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims
in respect of the Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust and instead shall be owed to it in its individual capacity. The Collateral
granted under the Collateral Documents to the Senior Credit Agreement Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Senior Credit
Agreement Agent in its capacity as Parallel Debt Creditor and shall not be held on trust.
(d) All
moneys received or recovered by the Senior Credit Agreement Agent pursuant to this Section 8.01, and all amounts received
or recovered by the Senior Credit Agreement Agent from or by the enforcement of any Collateral granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall
be applied in accordance with Section 4.01 and, upon such application, shall reduce the Corresponding Debt in accordance with
clause (ii) of paragraph (b) above. For purposes of Section 4.01 and any determination of the amount of Junior Obligations
of any Series outstanding at any time, the Parallel Debt shall not constitute Junior Obligations separate from or in addition to
the Corresponding Debt.
25
(e) Without
limiting or affecting the Senior Credit Agreement Agent’s rights against the Grantors and the Borrower (whether under this Section 8.01
or under any other provision of the Debt Documents), each Grantor and the Borrower acknowledges that:
(i) nothing
in this Section 8.01 shall impose any obligation on the Senior Credit Agreement Agent to pay any sum to any Grantor or the
Borrower or otherwise under any Junior Debt Document, except in its capacity as a Junior Secured Party; and
(ii) for
the purpose of any vote taken under any Junior Debt Document, the Senior Credit Agreement Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation
or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Junior Secured Party.
(f) Any
Guarantee Limitations applicable to any guarantee or other obligation of a Grantor or the Borrower under any Junior Debt Document or Junior
Collateral Document shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Parallel Debt of such Grantor or the Borrower (to the extent the Parallel
Debt is not so limited automatically by operation of such Guarantee Limitations). The same shall apply mutatis mutandis to any
indemnity or hold harmless obligation of a Grantor or the Borrower under this Agreement.
(g) If
the Senior Credit Agreement Agent, with the approval of each other Senior Representative and each Junior Representative, determines that
(i) all Senior Obligations and all Junior Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and (ii) no Secured Party is under
any commitment, obligation or liability (actual or contingent) to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to any Grantor
pursuant to the Debt Documents, the Senior Credit Agreement Agent (acting in its capacity as Parallel Debt Creditor and/or as trustee
(Treuhänder) pursuant to Section 8.02) shall, at the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors,
promptly release, without recourse or warranty, and, as applicable, retransfer or reassign to the relevant Grantor all Collateral held
by it under the German Security Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Parallel Debt of each Grantor and the Borrower
shall be discharged in full upon the payment or discharge in full of its Corresponding Debt.
Section 8.02. Appointment
and Authority. Each Junior Secured Party (other than the Senior Credit Agreement Agent) hereby appoints the Senior Credit Agreement
Agent as trustee (Treuhänder) and administrator for the purpose of accepting and administering the German Security Documents
for and on behalf of the Junior Secured Parties and the Senior Credit Agreement Agent hereby accepts such appointment on the terms and
subject to the conditions set out in this Section 8.02. The Senior Credit Agreement Agent shall (i) in case of non-accessory
(nicht akzessorische) security rights created under the German Security Documents, hold and administer and, as the case may be,
enforce such Liens and/or Collateral in its own name, but as trustee (Treuhänder) for the account of the Junior Secured Parties;
and (ii) in case of accessory (akzessorische) security rights created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments under
the German Security Documents, administer and, as the case may be, enforce any and all Liens and/or Collateral in the name and for and
on behalf of the Junior Secured Parties or in its own name in accordance with Section 8.01, but in each case for the account
of the Junior Secured Parties. Each Junior Secured Party hereby authorizes the Senior Credit Agreement Agent (whether or not by or through
employees or agents) (i) to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred
upon the Senior Credit Agreement Agent under the German Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably
incidental thereto, (ii) to take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in connection with the
German Security Documents, and (iii) to agree to, execute and deliver on its behalf any release or confirmation of release (including
by way of retransfer or reassignment) of any Lien or Collateral under any German Security Document in accordance with this Agreement (including
Section 5.01). By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each person to whom a Junior Obligation is owed shall be deemed
to have appointed the Senior Credit Agreement Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by any document creating Junior Obligation as
a Junior Secured Party.
26
Section 8.03. Successor
Senior Credit Agreement Agent. Upon any resignation or replacement of the Senior Credit Agreement Agent in accordance with the Senior
Credit Agreement, the retiring Senior Credit Agreement Agent shall transfer the Parallel Debt and all Collateral held by it under the
German Security Documents to the successor Senior Credit Agreement Agent, which shall thereupon succeed to the rights and obligations
of the Senior Credit Agreement Agent under this Article VIII as Parallel Debt Creditor and trustee (Treuhänder),
and shall, until such transfer has become effective, continue to hold the Parallel Debt and such Collateral in accordance with this Article VIII.
Upon the discharge in full of the Senior Credit Agreement Obligations prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Senior Credit
Agreement Agent shall in the same manner transfer the Parallel Debt and such Collateral to the Designated Senior Representative, and upon
the Discharge of Senior Obligations prior to the discharge in full of the Junior Obligations, the Senior Credit Agreement Agent or the
Designated Senior Representative, as applicable, shall in the same manner transfer the Parallel Debt and such Collateral to the Designated
Junior Representative. No Grantor shall be required to grant any new or additional security in connection with any such transfer.
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous
Section 9.01. Conflicts.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Debt Document
or any Junior Debt Document, in each case, as it relates to the relative rights and obligations amongst the Senior Representatives and
the Senior Secured Parties, on one hand, and the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties, on the other hand, with respect
to Shared Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect
to any Senior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the Senior First Lien Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of
any conflict between the Senior First Lien Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, with respect to the Senior Representatives
and the Senior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves), the provisions of the Senior First Lien Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement shall
govern, in each case as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the relative rights and obligations of the Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect
to any Junior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement(s) and in the event
of any conflict between the applicable Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement(s) and this Agreement, with respect to the Junior Representatives
and the Junior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves), the provisions of the applicable Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement(s) shall
govern, in each case as applicable.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the Centertainment First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the relative rights and obligations of the Secured
Parties (as defined herein) (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Shared Collateral shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement
and in the event of any conflict between the Centertainment First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, with respect
to the Secured Parties (as amongst themselves), the provisions of this Agreement shall govern, in each case as applicable.
For the avoidance of doubt,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Senior Debt Document or Junior Debt Document, the priorities,
rights and remedies set forth herein apply solely to the Collateral defined herein and that is granted by the Centertainment Group Grantors
and the Odeon Group Grantors and this Agreement shall not be construed to apply to or govern any other collateral owned or granted by
any Grantor that is not a Centertainment Group Grantor or Odeon Group Grantor.
27
Section 9.02. Continuing
Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 5.06 and Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue
to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and
the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Junior Representatives or any Junior Secured Party, to
extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Grantor constituting
Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction
shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 9.03. Amendments;
Waivers.
(a) No
failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
(b) Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified (other than pursuant to any Joinder Agreement)
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Representative (and with respect to any such termination,
waiver, amendment or modification which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Company’s consent or which increases the obligations
or reduces the rights of the Company or any other Grantor, with the consent of the Company).
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and
the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be
subject to the terms hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the consent of any other Representative or Secured Party, the Designated Senior Representative may effect amendments
and modifications to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect any incurrence of any Additional Senior Debt Obligations or any
Additional Junior Debt Obligations in compliance with the Senior Credit Agreement, the Senior 1L Notes Indenture, the Junior Credit
Agreement, any Additional Senior Debt Documents and any Additional Junior Debt Documents.
Section 9.04. Information
Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and the other Grantors. The Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives,
the Senior Secured Parties, the Designated Junior Representative, the other Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties shall
each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Company and the other Grantors and all
endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk
of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Obligations. The Designated Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives,
the Senior Secured Parties, the Designated Junior Representative, the other Junior Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties shall
have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances
or otherwise. In the event that the Designated Senior Representative, any other Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Designated
Junior Representative, any other Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or
from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Designated
Senior Representative, the other Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Designated Junior Representative, the other Junior
Representatives and the Junior Secured Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty,
including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide
any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose
any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is
otherwise required to maintain confidential.
28
Section 9.05. Subrogation.
Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, hereby agrees not to assert
any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.
Section 9.06. Application
of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Senior Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and
reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate,
consistent with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Junior Representative, on behalf of
itself and each Junior Secured Party under its Junior Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment
of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release
of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily
or secondarily liable therefor.
Section 9.07. Additional
Grantors. AMC agrees that, if any subsidiary of AMC shall become a Centertainment Group Grantor or an Odeon Group Grantor after the
date hereof, it will promptly cause such subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex II.
Upon such execution and delivery, such subsidiary will become a Grantor and a Centertainment Group Grantor or an Odeon Group Grantor,
as applicable, hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein and the term “Centertainment
Group Grantor” or “Odeon Group Grantor”, as applicable, will be automatically amended. The execution and delivery of
such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
Section 9.08. Dealings
with Grantors. Upon any application or demand by the Company or any Grantor to the Designated Senior Representative or the Designated
Junior Representative to take or permit any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement or under any Collateral Document (if
such action is subject to the provisions hereof), any such Company or Grantor, as appropriate, shall furnish to the Designated Junior
Representative or the Designated Senior Representative a certificate of an appropriate officer (an “Officer’s Certificate”)
stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement or such Collateral Document, as the case may be, relating
to the proposed action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of
such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document relating to such particular application
or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
Section 9.09. Additional
Debt Facilities. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then-extant Senior Debt Documents and the
Junior Debt Documents, the Company or any other Grantor may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes of Additional Senior
Debt and/or Additional Junior Debt. Any such additional class or series of Additional Senior Debt (the “Senior Class Debt”)
may be secured by a senior Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents, if and subject
to the condition that the Representative of any such Senior Class Debt (each, a “Senior Class Debt Representative”),
acting on behalf of the holders of such Senior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any such Senior Class Debt
being referred to as the “Senior Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions
set forth in clauses (i) through (v), as applicable, of this Section 9.09. Any such additional class
or series of Additional Junior Debt (the “Junior Class Debt” and, together with the Senior Class Debt,
collectively, the “Class Debt”) may be secured by a junior priority, subordinated Lien on Shared Collateral, in
each case under and pursuant to the Junior Collateral Documents for such Junior Class Debt, if and subject to the condition that
the Representative of any such Junior Class Debt (each, a “Junior Class Debt Representative”; the Junior
Class Debt Representatives, together with the Senior Class Debt Representatives, collectively, the “Class Debt
Representatives”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Junior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect
of any such Junior Class Debt being referred to as the “Junior Class Debt Parties”; the Junior Class Debt
Parties, together with the Senior Class Debt Parties, collectively, the “Class Debt Parties”), becomes
a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v), as applicable, of
this Section 9.09. In order for a Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement:
29
(i) such
Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered a Joinder Agreement to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated
Junior Representative substantially in the form of Annex III (if such Class Debt Representative is a Senior Class Debt
Representative) or Annex IV (if such Class Debt Representative is a Junior Class Debt Representative) (with such
changes as may be reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative and such Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which
it becomes a Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Class Debt Representative is the Representative
and the related Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby;
(ii) the
Company shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Representative true and complete copies
of each of the Senior Debt Documents or Junior Debt Documents, as the case may be, relating to such Class Debt, certified as being
true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Company;
(iii) in
the case of any Junior Class Debt, all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to the Junior Collateral Documents
necessary to confirm and perfect the junior priority Liens securing the relevant Junior Obligations relating to such Junior Class Debt
shall have been made, executed and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform
such filings or recordings have been taken in the reasonable judgment of such Junior Class Debt Representative), and all fees and
taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid (or acceptable provisions to make such payments have been taken in the reasonable judgment
of the Designated Senior Representative);
(iv) the
Company shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Representative an Officer’s Certificate
stating that such Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Additional Junior Debt Obligations, as the case may be, are permitted by each
applicable Senior Debt Document and applicable Junior Debt Document to be incurred, or to the extent a consent is otherwise required to
permit the incurrence of such Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Additional Junior Debt Obligations, as the case may be, under any
applicable Senior Debt Document or Junior Debt Document, the relevant Grantors have obtained the requisite consent; and
(v) the
Senior Debt Documents or Junior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt shall provide, in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Designated Senior Representative, that each Class Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject
to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt.
30

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AMC
ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF TENDER OFFER,
THE CLOSING OF FIRST LIEN NOTES OFFERING AND NEW TERM LOAN FACILITIES
TOTALING A $3.97 BILLION REFINANCING OF EXISTING DEBT
Debt Maturities Extended to 2031 and 2033
LEAWOOD, KANSAS
– October 5, 2026: AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) (the “Company” or “AMC”) announced
today that it has successfully completed its previously announced refinancing of $3.97 billion of its existing debt, including the offering of $2,000 million aggregate principal amount of first lien notes due 2031
(the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”), borrowing of a new $850 million first lien term loan facility
(the “New 1L Term Loan Facility”) and a new second lien term loan facility provided by Deutsche Bank Special Situations
Group in an aggregate principal amount of $1,120 million (the “New 2L Term Loan Facility” and together with the New 1L Term
Loan Facility, the “New Term Loan Facilities”).
The Notes and New Term Loan Facilities are guaranteed
on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including
Muvico, LLC (“Muvico”), Odeon Cinemas Group Limited (“OCGL”) and certain subsidiaries of OCGL.
The net proceeds from the Offering, together with
the proceeds from the New Term Loan Facilities and cash on hand, have been and will be used to (i) fund the previously announced tender
offer (the “Tender Offer”) of the Company’s outstanding 7.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “AMC Secured
Notes”) which settled concurrently with the Offering, (ii) fund the redemption (the “Redemption”) on or about February
15, 2027 of any AMC Secured Notes that were not tendered or accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer, (iii) fund the previously announced
redemption in full of Muvico’s $903.4 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2029, (iv) repay in full the
Company’s existing term loan facility, (v) repay in full the existing term loan facility of Odeon Finco PLC, a wholly-owned direct
subsidiary of OCGL and an indirect subsidiary of AMC, and (vi) pay related fees, costs, premiums and expenses in connection with such
transactions.
Commenting on the closing of the Offering and
the New Term Loan Facilities, AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron said, “This transaction marks for all to plainly see a significant milestone for AMC. With this now-completed comprehensive refinancing
of approximately 97% of our debt, we have materially extended almost all our debt maturities until October of 2031 and October of 2033,
simplified our capital structure and reduced our cost of capital. AMC is now well positioned to thrive, as we welcome millions and millions
of guests each and every week to our theatres throughout the world.”
Aron continued, “The bold and creative capital markets
actions we have implemented in recent years, paired with a resurgent box office and our impressive operating performance, have resulted
in a substantial reduction in financial leverage and a stronger balance sheet. Recent corporate or instrument credit ratings upgrades,
by all three major credit rating agencies, clearly reflect AMC's considerable progress on this score.”
Aron highlighted, “It
is so immensely satisfying to us how deftly AMC has navigated these uncharted waters of the past six-plus years. Since 2020, AMC has paid
down a total of nearly $2 billion of our long-term debt and COVID-related lease deferrals and has extended the maturity of what is in
our view a manageable remaining debt-load of approximately $4 billion to 2031 and 2033. This is nothing less than a triumph for AMC.”
Aron
added, “We extend sincere thanks to all of our lenders, most notably Deutsche Bank Special Situations Group for their participation
in this ambitious transaction. Our investment banking partners, particularly including Wells Fargo Securities, Deutsche Bank Securities, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs
& Co. LLC, and our advisors, including Moelis & Company LLC and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP who have for years now
brilliantly showcased their unique skills. Additionally, their confidence, support, and commitment to AMC have been crucial to the demonstrable
progress that AMC has made in the tumultuous times of the past several years.”
Aron added, “This all has taken place against
the backdrop of an increasingly robust box office, including an all-time record third quarter North American box office. Looking ahead,
we are highly optimistic as well about our prospects for the remainder of this year. An exciting film slate awaits us, especially including
the December releases of DUNE: PART THREE and AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, promising to close 2026 on a high note and carry that 2026 momentum
into 2027.”
Aron concluded, “A growing box office, a more efficient balance sheet, combined with disciplined execution on our
part, position AMC to capitalize on the significant operating leverage inherent in our business. With continued box office growth and
successful execution of our strategy, we firmly expect AMC to considerably expand EBITDA, improve free cash flow and deliver meaningful
long-term value for our stakeholders.”
The Notes and related guarantees were offered
only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S. The Notes
have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered
or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or in
a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction
in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with
Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
Tender Offer Results
$355,515,000 aggregate principal amount of the AMC Secured Notes, representing
approximately 98.8% of the $359,964,500 aggregate principal amount of AMC Secured Notes outstanding, were validly tendered and not validly
withdrawn in the Tender Offer. The Company accepted for purchase all AMC Secured Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and
settled the Tender Offer on October 5, 2026.
This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption of the
AMC Secured Notes. Information concerning the terms and conditions of the redemption of AMC Secured Notes not tendered or accepted for
purchase in the Tender Offer will be described in the notice of full redemption to be distributed to holders of the AMC Secured Notes
by the trustee under the indenture governing the AMC Secured Notes.

the time the statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject
to risks, trends, uncertainties and other facts that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed
in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks, trends, uncertainties and facts include, but are not limited to:
the sufficiency of AMC’s existing cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity; AMC’s ability to obtain additional
liquidity, which if not realized or insufficient to generate the material amounts of additional liquidity that will be required unless
it is able to achieve more normalized levels of operating revenues, likely would result with AMC seeking an in-court or out-of-court restructuring
of its liabilities; the effectiveness of the refinancing transactions completed in the third quarter of 2025 and the ability to further
equitize existing debt; increased use of alternative film delivery methods or other forms of entertainment; the continued recovery of
the North American and international box office; AMC’s significant indebtedness, including its ability to meet its covenants and
limitations on AMC's ability to take advantage of certain business opportunities imposed by such covenants; shrinking exclusive theatrical
release windows; the seasonality of AMC’s revenue and working capital; intense competition in the geographic areas in which AMC
operates; risks relating to impairment losses, including with respect to goodwill and other intangibles, and theatre and other closure
charges; motion picture production, promotion, marketing, and performance including labor stoppages affecting the production, supply and
release schedule of theatrical motion picture content and choice of distributors to release fewer feature-length films as a result of
the additional financial burden imposed by tariffs; the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology in the filmmaking
process and audience acceptance of movies made utilizing AI technology; general and international economic, political, regulatory and
other risks, including but not limited to rising interest rates; AMC’s lack of control over distributors of films; limitations on
the availability of capital, including on the authorized number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Common
Stock”); dilution of voting power caused by recent sales of Common Stock and through the issuance of Common Stock underlying Muvico’s
exchangeable notes and the issuance of preferred stock; future offerings of debt, which would be senior to the Common Stock for purposes
of distributions or upon liquidation, and which could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock; AMC’s ability to achieve
expected synergies, benefits and performance from its strategic initiatives; AMC’s ability to refinance its indebtedness on favorable
terms; AMC’s ability to optimize its theatre circuit; limitations on AMC’s ability to utilize interest expense deductions
annually under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as amended by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025;
AMC’s ability to recognize interest deduction carryforwards, net operating loss carryforwards, and other tax attributes to reduce
future tax liability; supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, increased cost and inflation; and other factors discussed in the reports
AMC has filed with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks, trends, uncertainties, or facts materialize, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by the forward-looking statements contained
herein. Accordingly, the Company cautions you against relying on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they
are made.
Forward-looking statements should not be read
as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance
or results will be achieved. For a detailed discussion of risks, trends and uncertainties facing AMC, see the section entitled “Risk
Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well
as the Company’s other filings with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained by visiting the Company’s Investor Relations
website at investor.amctheatres.com or the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AMC does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update any information
contained herein to reflect future events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.
