The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the call option transaction entered into between [Dealer Name] (“Dealer”) and Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (“Cinemark”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. Each party further agrees that this Confirmation together with the Agreement evidence a complete binding agreement between Cinemark and Dealer as to the subject matter and terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. Certain defined terms used herein are based on terms that are defined in the Offering Memorandum dated [______], 2020 (the “Offering Memorandum”) relating to the [__]% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (as originally issued by Cinemark, the “Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, a “Convertible Note”) issued by Cinemark in an aggregate initial principal amount of USD 400,000,000.00 (as increased by [up to] an aggregate principal amount of USD [______] [if and to the extent that][pursuant to the exercise by] the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) [exercise][of] its option to purchase additional Convertible Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein)) pursuant to an Indenture [to be] dated [______], 2020 (the “Indenture”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Offering Memorandum, the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. The parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is entered into on the date hereof with the understanding that (i) definitions set forth in the Indenture that are also defined herein by reference to the Indenture and (ii) sections of the Indenture that are referred to herein, in each case, will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum. If any such definitions in the Indenture or any such sections of the Indenture differ from the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum, the descriptions thereof in the Offering Memorandum will govern for purposes of this Confirmation. The parties further acknowledge that the Indenture section numbers used herein are based on the [draft of the Indenture last reviewed by both parties as of the date of this Confirmation, and if any such section numbers are changed in the Indenture as executed, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the intent of the parties][Indenture as executed]. Subject to the foregoing, references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution, and if the Indenture is amended or supplemented following such date (other than any amendment or supplement (x) pursuant to Section [10.01(k)] of the Indenture that, as determined by the Calculation Agent, conforms the Indenture to the description of the Convertible Notes in the Offering Memorandum or (y) pursuant to Section [14.07] of the Indenture, subject, in the case of this clause (y), to the second paragraph under “Method of Adjustment” in Section 3), any such amendment or supplement will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation (other than as provided in Section 9(j)(iv) below) unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.


1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Cinemark as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.

Relevant Settlement Method:

   In respect of any Option:
   (i) if Cinemark has elected to settle its conversion obligations in respect of the related Convertible Note (A) entirely in Shares pursuant to Section [14.02(a)(iii)(A)] of the Indenture (together with cash in lieu of fractional Shares) (such settlement method, “Settlement in Shares”), (B) in a combination of cash and Shares pursuant to Section [14.02(a)(iii)(C)] of the Indenture with a Specified Cash Amount less than USD 1,000 (such settlement method, “Low Cash Combination Settlement”) or (C) in a combination of cash and Shares pursuant to Section [14.02(a)(iii)(C)] of the Indenture with a Specified Cash Amount equal to USD 1,000, then, in each case, the Relevant Settlement Method for such Option shall be Net Share Settlement;

 

5


   (ii) if Cinemark has elected to settle its conversion obligations in respect of the related Convertible Note in a combination of cash and Shares pursuant to Section [14.02(a)(iii)(C)] of the Indenture with a Specified Cash Amount greater than USD 1,000, then the Relevant Settlement Method for such Option shall be Combination Settlement; and

Net Share Settlement:

   If Net Share Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, Dealer will deliver to Cinemark, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option, a number of Shares (the “Net Share Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for each such Option, of (i) (a) the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day, divided by (b) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day, divided by (ii) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; provided that in no event shall the Net Share Settlement Amount for any Option exceed a number of Shares equal to the Applicable Limit for such Option divided by the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Option.
   Dealer will pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Shares to be delivered with respect to any Net Share Settlement Amount valued at the Relevant Price for the last Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging Period.

Combination Settlement:

   If Combination Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, Dealer will pay or deliver, as the case may be, to Cinemark, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option:
  

(i) cash (the “Combination Settlement Cash Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Option, of (A) an amount (the “Daily Combination Settlement Cash Amount”) equal to the lesser of (1) the product of (x) the Applicable Percentage and (y) the Specified Cash Amount minus USD 1,000 and (2) the Daily Option Value, divided by (B) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; provided that if the calculation in clause (A) above results in zero or a negative number for any Valid Day, the Daily Combination Settlement Cash Amount for such Valid Day shall be deemed to be zero; and

 

6


  

(ii)  Shares (the “Combination Settlement Share Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Option, of a number of Shares for such Valid Day (the “Daily Combination Settlement Share Amount”) equal to (A) (1) the Daily Option Value on such Valid Day minus the Daily Combination Settlement Cash Amount for such Valid Day, divided by (2) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day, divided by (B) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; provided that if the calculation in sub-clause (A)(1) above results in zero or a negative number for any Valid Day, the Daily Combination Settlement Share Amount for such Valid Day shall be deemed to be zero;

   provided that in no event shall the sum of (x) the Combination Settlement Cash Amount for any Option and (y) the Combination Settlement Share Amount for such Option multiplied by the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Option, exceed the Applicable Limit for such Option.
   Dealer will pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Shares to be delivered with respect to any Combination Settlement Share Amount valued at the Relevant Price for the last Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging Period.

Cash Settlement:

   If Cash Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, in lieu of Section 8.1 of the Equity Definitions, Dealer will pay to Cinemark, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option, an amount of cash (the “Cash Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Option, of (i) the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day, divided by (ii) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period.

Daily Option Value:

   For any Valid Day, an amount equal to (i) the Option Entitlement on such Valid Day, multiplied by (ii) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day less the Strike Price on such Valid Day; provided that if the calculation contained in clause (ii) above results in a negative number, the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day shall be deemed to be zero. In no event will the Daily Option Value be less than zero.

Make-Whole Adjustment:

   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in respect of any exercise of Options relating to a conversion of Convertible Notes in connection with a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) for which additional Shares will be added to the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture) as determined pursuant to Section [14.03] of the Indenture, the Daily Option Value shall be calculated as if the Option Entitlement included the

 

7


   Applicable Percentage of the number of such additional Shares as determined with reference to the adjustment set forth in such Section [14.03] of the Indenture; provided that if the sum of (i) the product of (a) the number of Shares (if any) deliverable by Dealer to Cinemark per exercised Option and (b) the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date and (ii) the amount of cash (if any) payable by Dealer to Cinemark per exercised Option would otherwise exceed the amount per Option, as determined by the Calculation Agent, that would be payable by Dealer under Section 6 of the Agreement if (x) the relevant Conversion Date were an Early Termination Date resulting from an Additional Termination Event with respect to which the Transaction was the sole Affected Transaction and Cinemark was the sole Affected Party and (y) Section [14.03] of the Indenture were deleted, then each Daily Option Value shall be proportionately reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.

Applicable Limit:

   For any Option, an amount of cash equal to the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the excess of (i) the aggregate of (A) the amount of cash, if any, paid to the Holder of the related Convertible Note upon conversion of such Convertible Note and (B) the number of Shares, if any, delivered to the Holder of the related Convertible Note upon conversion of such Convertible Note multiplied by the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Option, over (ii) USD 1,000.

The Relevant Price will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours.

Adjustments applicable to the Transaction:

  

Potential Adjustment Events:

   Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a “Potential Adjustment Event” means an occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in any Dilution Adjustment Provision, that would result in an adjustment under the Indenture to the “Conversion Rate” or any “Last Reported Sale Price” or “Daily VWAP” (each as defined in the Indenture). For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall not have any delivery or payment obligation hereunder, and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction, on account of (x) any distribution of cash, property or securities by Cinemark to Holders of the Convertible Notes (upon conversion or otherwise) or (y) any other transaction in which Holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to participate, in each case, in lieu of an adjustment under the Indenture of the type referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (including, without limitation, pursuant to [the third paragraph of Section 14.04(c)(A) of the Indenture] or [third paragraph of Section 14.04(d) of the Indenture]).

Method of Adjustment:

   Calculation Agent Adjustment, which means that, notwithstanding Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, upon any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction to the extent an analogous adjustment is required to be made pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Potential Adjustment Event.
   Notwithstanding the foregoing and “Consequences of Merger Events” below:
  

(i) if the Calculation Agent in good faith disagrees with any adjustment to the Convertible Notes that involves an exercise of discretion by Cinemark, its board of directors or a committee thereof (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section [14.05] of the Indenture, Section [14.07] of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into thereunder or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then in each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine the adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Potential Adjustment Event occurs during the Settlement Averaging Period but no adjustment was made to any Convertible Note under the Indenture because the relevant Holder was deemed to be a record owner of the underlying Shares on the related Conversion Date, then the Calculation Agent shall make an adjustment to the terms hereof in order to account for such Potential Adjustment Event;

 

10


  

(ii)  in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event as a result of an event or condition set forth in Section [14.04(b)] of the Indenture or Section [14.04(c)(A)] of the Indenture where, in either case, the period for determining “Y” (as such term is used in Section [14.04(b)] of the Indenture) or “SP0” (as such term is used in Section [14.04(c)(A)] of the Indenture), as the case may be, begins before Cinemark has publicly announced the event or condition giving rise to such Potential Adjustment Event, then the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust any variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction as appropriate to reflect the costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its hedging activities as a result of such event or condition not having been publicly announced prior to the beginning of such period; and

  

(iii)  if any Potential Adjustment Event is declared and (a) the event or condition giving rise to such Potential Adjustment Event is subsequently amended, modified, cancelled or abandoned, (b) the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture) is otherwise not adjusted at the time or in the manner contemplated by the relevant Dilution Adjustment Provision based on such declaration or (c) the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture) is adjusted as a result of such Potential Adjustment Event and subsequently re-adjusted (each of clauses (a), (b) and (c), a “Potential Adjustment Event Change”) then, in each case, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust any variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction as appropriate to reflect the costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its hedging activities as a result of such Potential Adjustment Event Change.

Dilution Adjustment Provisions:

   Sections [14.04(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)] and Section [14.05] of the Indenture.

Extraordinary Events applicable to the Transaction:

Merger Events:

   Applicable; provided that notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, which section shall not apply with respect to the Transaction, a “Merger Event” means the occurrence of any event or condition set forth [in the definition of “Specified Corporate Event”] in Section [14.07(a)] of the Indenture.

Tender Offers:

   Not Applicable.

 

11


Consequences of Merger Events:

   Notwithstanding Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment in respect of any adjustment under the Indenture to any one or more of the nature of the Shares, Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction to the extent an analogous adjustment is required to be made pursuant to the Indenture in connection with such Merger Event, subject to the second paragraph under “Method of Adjustment”; provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to any Excluded Provision, provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event, (i) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation, limited liability company or partnership that is, in each case, treated as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) the Counterparty to the Transaction following such Merger Event will not be a corporation, limited liability company or partnership that is, in each case, treated as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes and that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, then, in either case, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s sole election.

Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting:

   Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors), such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange.

Restrictions on Adjustments:

   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions or this Confirmation, none of the events listed in Section [14.04(k)] of the Indenture will constitute a Potential Adjustment Event or Merger Event, and no adjustment will be made to the Transaction in connection with any such event pursuant to the Equity Definitions (as amended by this Confirmation) or otherwise.

To the knowledge of Cinemark (without inquiry) no state or local (including any non-U.S. jurisdiction’s) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares generally (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to ownership of equity securities by financial institutions generally and not specific to the Shares) would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares as a commercially reasonable hedge position in connection with this Transaction.

 

  (f)

Cinemark (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least USD 50 million.

9. Other Provisions.

 

  (a)

Opinions. Cinemark shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Premium Payment Date, with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement; provided that any such opinion of counsel may contain customary exceptions and qualifications. Delivery of such opinion or opinions, as the case may be, to Dealer shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.

 

  (b)

Repurchase Notices. Cinemark shall give Dealer a written notice of any repurchase of Shares effected by Cinemark (a “Repurchase Notice”) within one Exchange Business Day if, following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares, as the case may be, as determined on such day and subject to any adjustments provided herein is (i) less than [__] million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than [__] million less than the number of Shares, as the case may be, included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Cinemark agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the probable risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from commercially reasonable hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Cinemark’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Cinemark’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Cinemark in writing, and Cinemark, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Cinemark may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Cinemark shall not be liable to the extent that the Indemnified Person fails to notify Cinemark within a commercially reasonable period of time after any action is commenced against it in respect of which an indemnity may be sought hereunder. In addition, Cinemark shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Cinemark agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Cinemark shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been

 

16


  sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Cinemark hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

  (c)

Regulation M. Cinemark is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Cinemark, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Cinemark shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution.

 

  (d)

No Manipulation. Cinemark is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

 

  (e)

Transfer or Assignment.

 

  (i)

Cinemark shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “Transfer Options”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose, including but not limited, to the following conditions:

 

  (A)

With respect to any Transfer Options, Cinemark shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(o) or 9(t) of this Confirmation;

 

  (B)

Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, will not expose Dealer to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Cinemark, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;

 

  (C)

Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, (i) receive from the transferee or assignee on any payment or delivery date any payment or delivery less than an amount that Dealer would have been entitled to receive from Cinemark in the absence of such transfer or assignment or (ii) be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Cinemark in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (D)

An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

 

  (E)

The transferee or assignee shall provide Dealer with a complete and accurate U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8 (as applicable) prior to becoming a party to the Transaction;

 

17


  (F)

Cinemark shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Dealer to permit Dealer to determine that results described in clauses (C) and (D) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and

 

  (G)

Cinemark shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment.

 

  (ii)

Dealer may, without Cinemark’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a long-term issuer rating that is equal to or better than the credit rating of Dealer’s Credit Support Provider, if any or, if no Credit Support Provider is specified for Dealer, the credit rating of Dealer, in each case at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used generally for similar transactions, by Dealer’s Credit Support Provider, if any, [or its ultimate parent], or (B) with Cinemark’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to any other internationally recognized investment bank with a long-term issuer rating equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer, Dealer’s ultimate parent, or the Credit Support Provider (if any) whichever is highest at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“S&P”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. or its successor (“Moodys”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s cease to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Cinemark and Dealer; provided that any transfer or assignment effected by Dealer shall not result in a deemed exchange from Cinemark’s perspective within the meaning of Section 1001 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); provided further that (x) Cinemark shall not, as a result of such transfer or assignment, (i) receive from the transferee or assignee on any payment or delivery date any payment or delivery less than an amount that Cinemark would have been entitled to receive from Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment or (ii) be required to pay the transferee or assignee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Cinemark would have been required to pay Dealer in the absence of such transfer or assignment, (y) the transferee or assignee shall provide Cinemark with a complete and accurate U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8 (as applicable) prior to becoming a party to the Transaction and (z) Dealer shall cause the transferee or assignee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by Cinemark to permit Cinemark to determine that results described in clauses (x) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 8.0%, (B) the Option Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of Options to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Options underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Cinemark were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(m) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Cinemark pursuant to this sentence as if Cinemark was not the Affected Party). The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the

 

18


  numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Dealer is or may be deemed to be a part beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any reason the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. The “Option Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the product of the Number of Options and the Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Cinemark, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Cinemark that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares, as the case may be, that could reasonably be expected to give rise to reporting or registration obligations (except for any filing requirements on Form 13F, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act), mandatory takeover offers or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from shareholders or any other person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could reasonably be expected (as determined by Dealer in good faith) to result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

  (iii)

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Cinemark, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Cinemark to the extent of any such performance.

 

  (f)

Staggered Settlement. If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging activities hereunder, Dealer reasonably determines that it would not be advisable, based on such advice of counsel, under applicable legal and regulatory requirements, to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on any Settlement Date for the Transaction, Dealer may, by notice to Cinemark on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) as follows:

 

  (i)

in such notice, Dealer will specify to Cinemark the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date;

 

  (ii)

the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Cinemark hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and

 

19


  (iii)

if the Net Share Settlement terms or the Combination Settlement terms set forth above were to apply on the Nominal Settlement Date, then the Net Share Settlement terms or the Combination Settlement terms, as the case may be, will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Shares otherwise deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates as specified by Dealer in the notice referred to in clause (i) above.

 

  (g)

[Reserved].

 

  (h)

CARES Act. Cinemark acknowledges that the Transaction may constitute a purchase of its equity securities or a capital distribution. Cinemark further acknowledges that, (i) pursuant to the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), Cinemark will be required to agree to certain time-bound restrictions on its ability to purchase its equity securities or make capital distributions if it receives loans, loan guarantees or direct loans (as that term is defined in the CARES Act) under section 4003(b) of the CARES Act (“CARES Act Loans”), and (ii) Cinemark may be required to agree to certain time-bound restrictions on its ability to purchase its equity securities or make capital distributions if it receives loans, loan guarantees or direct loans, financial assistance or other investment, tax credit or relief (tax or otherwise, howsoever defined) under any program, stimulus package or facilities now existing or that may be established in the future under applicable law (or any regulation, guidance, interpretation or other pronouncement of a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility), whether in existence as of the Trade Date or subsequently enacted, adopted or amended, including without limitation the CARES Act and the Federal Reserve Act, as amended (such financial assistance, collectively with CARES Act Loans, “Financial Assistance”). Accordingly, Cinemark represents and warrants that it has not applied for, and shall not until after the first date on which no portion of this Transaction remains outstanding following any final exercise and settlement, cancellation or early termination of this Transaction apply for, any Financial Assistance if the existence of, or performance of the terms of, this Transaction would cause Cinemark to fail to satisfy any condition for application for or receipt or retention of the Financial Assistance; provided, that Cinemark may apply for Financial Assistance if Cinemark either (X) determines based on the advice of outside counsel of national standing that the terms of this Transaction would not cause Cinemark to fail to satisfy any condition for application for or receipt or retention of such Financial Assistance based on the terms of the program or facility as of the date of such advice or (Y) delivers to Dealer evidence of a waiver or other guidance from a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility that the Transaction is permitted under such program or facility (either by specific reference to the Transaction or by general reference to transactions with the attributes of the Transaction in all relevant respects).

 

  (i)

[Reserved]

 

  (j)

Additional Termination Events.

 

  (i)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default with respect to Cinemark occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section [6.01] of the Indenture and such event of default results in the Convertible Notes becoming or being declared due and payable, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Cinemark shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.

 

  (ii)

Within five Scheduled Trading Days promptly following any Repayment Event (as defined below), Cinemark shall notify Dealer of such Repayment Event and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes subject to such Repayment Event (any such notice, a “Repayment Notice”). The receipt by Dealer from Cinemark of (x) any Repayment Notice, within the applicable time period set forth in the preceding sentence, and (y) a written representation of Cinemark that, as of the date of such Repayment Notice, Cinemark is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding Cinemark or the Shares, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(j)(ii). Upon receipt of any such Repayment Notice, Dealer shall designate an

 

20


  Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Repayment Notice (which Exchange Business Day shall be on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the related settlement date for the relevant Repayment Event) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of the Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Repayment Options”) equal to the lesser of (A) [(x)] the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes specified in such Repayment Notice, divided by USD 1,000, [minus (y) the number of “Repayment Options” (as defined in the Base Call Option Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Convertible Notes (and for the purposes of determining whether any Options under this Confirmation or under the Base Call Option Confirmation will be among the Repayment Options hereunder or under, and as defined in, the Base Call Option Confirmation, the Convertible Notes specified in such Repayment Notice shall be allocated first to the Base Call Option Confirmation until all Options thereunder are exercised or terminated),] and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the number of Repayment Options. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination (the “Repayment Unwind Payment”) shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Repayment Options, (2) Cinemark were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, solely for purposes of calculating the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Cinemark shall assume that the relevant Repayment Event (and, if applicable, the related Fundamental Change and the announcement of such Fundamental Change) had not occurred. “Repayment Event” means that (i) any Convertible Notes are repurchased (whether in connection with or as a result of a fundamental change, howsoever defined, or for any other reason) by Cinemark or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any Convertible Notes are delivered to Cinemark or any of its subsidiaries in exchange for delivery of any property or assets of such party (howsoever described), (iii) any principal of any of the Convertible Notes is repaid prior to the final maturity date of the Convertible Notes (for any reason other than as a result of an acceleration of the Convertible Notes that results in an Additional Termination Event pursuant to the preceding Section 9(j)(i)), or (iv) any Convertible Notes are exchanged by or for the benefit of the Holders thereof for any other securities of Cinemark or any of its subsidiaries (or any other property, or any combination thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer or similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, any conversion of Convertible Notes (whether into cash, Shares, Reference Property (as defined in the Indenture) or any combination thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall not constitute a Repayment Event.

 

  (iii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation or the Agreement (including without limitation the provisions set forth opposite the caption “Make-Whole Adjustment” in Section 2 of the Confirmation), the receipt by Dealer of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Options that relate to Convertible Notes converted “in connection with” (as defined in the Indenture) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change as to which additional Shares would be added to the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture) pursuant to Section [14.03]of the Indenture (such Convertible Notes, the “Make Whole Convertible Notes”) shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(j)(iii). Upon receipt of (x) any such Notice of Exercise and (y) and a written acknowledgement by Cinemark to Dealer, as of the date of such notice, of its responsibilities under applicable securities laws, and in particular Section 9 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in connection with such notice, Dealer shall designate a Scheduled Valid Day (which Scheduled Valid Day shall be on, or as promptly as practical after, the related settlement date for conversion of such Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of the Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Make Whole Conversion Options”) equal to the lesser of (A)[(x)] the number of Options specified in such Notice
