2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Performance STOCK Unit AWARD AGREEMENT

This Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), is entered into on the Date of Grant, subject to the Participant’s acceptance of the terms of the Agreement evidenced by the Participant’s signature on the Performance Stock Unit Award Certificate accompanying this Agreement (the “Certificate”), by and between Cinemark Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Participant named in the Certificate.

Under the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Administrator has authorized the grant to the Participant of the number of Performance Stock Units set forth in the Certificate (the “Award”), under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate and the Plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the benefits to be derived from the mutual observance of the covenants and promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Basis for Award. This Award is granted under the Plan for valid consideration provided to the Company by the Participant. By the Participant’s execution of the Certificate, the Participant agrees to accept the Award rights granted under the Certificate and this Agreement and to receive the Performance Stock Units designated in the Certificate subject to the terms of the Plan, the Certificate and this Agreement.

2.Performance Stock Units Awarded. The Company hereby awards and grants to the Participant the number of Performance Stock Units set forth in the Certificate. Each Performance Stock Unit represents a right to receive one Share (or the cash equivalent) from the Company and any Dividend Equivalents (as defined below) credited to the Participant’s Performance Stock Unit Account (as defined below) with respect to that Share upon vesting of the Performance Stock Unit as provided in Section 3 below. Vested Performance Stock Units will be settled as provided in Section 5 below. The Company will, in accordance with the Plan, establish and maintain an account (the “Performance Stock Unit Account”) for the Participant and will credit that account for the number of Performance Stock Units granted to the Participant and any Dividend Equivalents as provided in Section 4 below. The value of each Performance Stock Unit on any given date will equal the Fair Market Value of one Share on that date.

3.Vesting 

(a)Vesting Schedule. The Performance Stock Units will vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Certificate, subject to satisfaction of the performance goals therein and on condition that the Participant is still in Continuous Service at the end of the performance period set forth in the Certificate (the “Performance Period”).

(b)Termination of Continuous Service

(i)Except as otherwise provided in (x) a Service Agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Administrator (y) Section 3(b)(ii) of this Agreement or (z) the Plan, if the Participant ceases Continuous Service for any reason before the end of the Performance Period, the Participant will immediately forfeit the Performance Stock Units and any Dividend Equivalents credited to the Performance Stock Unit Account.

(ii)In the event that the Participant’s Service to the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated because of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant or his estate or legal representative, as applicable, shall have the right to receive certificates for any outstanding Award which Award shall remain outstanding through the remainder of the Performance Period (without regard to any continued employment requirement) and if or to the extent the performance provisions are attained shall become vested without regard to any continued employment requirement on a pro-rata basis based upon the percentage determined by dividing (i) the number of days from and including the grant date of such Award through the termination date of Participant’s employment, by (ii) the number of days from and including the grant date to the end of the Performance Period without regard to any continued employment requirement.  The Company shall as promptly as practical deliver the certificates required to be delivered under this Section 3(b)(ii) to the Participant, his estate or legal representative, as applicable.

4.Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays any cash dividend on its outstanding Common Stock for which the record date occurs after the Date of Grant, the Administrator will credit the Performance Stock Unit Account as of the dividend payment date in an amount equal to the amount of the dividend paid by the Company on a single Share multiplied by the number of Performance Stock Units under this Agreement that are unvested as of that record date (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents will be subject to the vesting requirements of Section 3 of this Agreement. No Dividend Equivalent will vest or be paid to the Participant unless and until the corresponding Performance Stock Unit vests and is settled.

5.Settlement. The Company will settle the Award on the Settlement Date or Dates set forth in the Certificate by issuing to the Participant one Share for each Performance Stock Unit that has satisfied all vesting requirements on that Settlement Date and cash in the amount of any Dividend Equivalents credited to the Performance Stock Unit Account with respect to that Share. Upon settlement, the Performance Stock Units and related Dividend Equivalents will cease to be credited to the Performance Stock Unit Account. If the Certificate does not specify a Settlement Date, the applicable Settlement Date will be each vesting date set forth in the Vesting Schedule. Subject to the satisfaction of the withholding provisions in Section 8 below, the Administrator will cause a stock certificate to be delivered on the applicable Settlement Date to the Participant with respect to the Shares issued on that Settlement Date and cash in the amount of any Dividend Equivalents credited to the Performance Stock Unit Account with respect to such Shares, free of all restrictions hereunder, except for applicable federal securities laws restrictions, and will enter the Participant’s name as stockholder of record with respect to such Shares on the books of the Company. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that Shares may be issued in electronic form as a book entry with the Company’s transfer agent and no physical certificates need be issued.

6.Restrictions on Transfer. Until the applicable Settlement Date, the Performance Stock Units and any related Dividend Equivalents credited to the Performance Stock Unit Account may not be pledged, hypothecated or transferred in any manner other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or if approved in writing by the Administrator, by gift or domestic relations order to a Permitted Transferee, provided that the Performance Stock Units and any related Dividend Equivalents credited to the Performance Stock Unit Account will remain subject to the terms of the Plan, the Certificate and this Agreement.

7.Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of Common Stock on any Settlement Date is subject to the Company’s and the Participant’s full compliance, to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel, with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed at the time of issuance or transfer. The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission, foreign securities regulatory authority or any securities exchange to effect such compliance.

8.Tax Withholding. As a condition to settlement under Section 5 above, the Participant shall, not later than the date on which the Award becomes a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company any federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in its discretion, the tax-withholding obligation shall be satisfied by retaining Shares from the Participant with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld by law, provided, that the Participant may elect to satisfy the tax-withholding obligation instead by cash or check.

9.No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan imposes or may be deemed to impose, by implication or otherwise, any limitation on any right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s Continuous Service at any time.

10.Representations and Warranties of the Participant. The Participant represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
