Section 8.Payment and Prepayment of the Notes.
Section 8.1.Maturity.  As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.
Section 8.2.Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount.  The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount.  The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17.

-20-






Section 8.3.Allocation of Partial Prepayments.  In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.
Section 8.4.Maturity; Surrender, Etc.  In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any.  From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue.  Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.
Section 8.5.Purchase of Notes.  The Company will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions.  Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days.  If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer.  The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.
Section 8.6.Make-Whole Amount.
The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero.  For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 
“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
-21-






“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (1) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (2) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (i) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (ii) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.  
If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (A) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (B) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.
“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.


-22-






“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
Section 8.7.Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change in Control.
(a)Notice of Change in Control or Control Event.  The Company will, within five Business Days after any Responsible Officer of the Company has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control or, to the extent such information has been disclosed to the public generally, any Control Event, give written notice of such Change in Control or Control Event to each holder of Notes unless notice in respect of such Change in Control (or the Change in Control contemplated by such Control Event) shall have been given pursuant to Section 8.7(b).  If a Change in Control has occurred, such notice shall contain and constitute an offer by the Company to prepay Notes as described in Section 8.7(c) and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.7(g).
(b)Condition to Company Action.  The Company will not take any action that consummates or finalizes a Change in Control unless (1) at least 30 days prior to such action the Company shall have given to each holder of Notes written notice containing and constituting an offer to prepay Notes as described in Section 8.7(c), accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.7(g), and (2) contemporaneously with such action, the Company prepays all Notes required to be prepaid in accordance with this Section 8.7.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to give any notice pursuant to this Section 8.7(b) or to forbear taking any action that consummates or finalizes a Change in Control required by this Section 8.7(b) unless the information regarding such Change in Control to be contained in such notice shall have been disclosed to the public generally (and in such event the Company shall instead give the notice specified in Section 8.7(a) in respect of such Change in Control and the offer to prepay the Notes shall instead also be in accordance with Section 8.7(a)).
(c)Offer to Prepay Notes.  The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Sections 8.7(a) and (b) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, Notes held by each holder on a date specified in such offer (the “Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date”).  If such Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date is in connection with an offer contemplated by Section 8.7(a), such date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (or if the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day nearest to the 30th day after the date of such offer).
(d)Acceptance; Rejection.  A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company at least five Business Days prior to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date.  A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.


-23-






(e)Prepayment.  Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment but without any Make-Whole Amount.  The prepayment shall be made on the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, except as provided by Section 8.7(f).
(f)Deferral Pending Change in Control.  The obligation of the Company to prepay Notes pursuant to the offers required by Section 8.7(c) and accepted in accordance with Section 8.7(d) is subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control in respect of which such offers and acceptances shall have been made.  In the event that such Change in Control does not occur on the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the prepayment shall be deferred until, and shall be made on the date on which, such Change in Control occurs.

-25-






compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 9.2.Insurance.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated or as required by Applicable Laws; provided that nothing in this Section 9.2 shall impose any obligation on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to maintain any such insurance to the extent that, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Leases or EPR Senior Property Loan Documents or other applicable lease or mortgage documents, the tenant or mortgagor, as applicable, with respect to the relevant property is obligated to provide any such insurance.

Section 9.4.Payment of Taxes and Claims.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, provided that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need make any such filing or pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (b) the non-filing or nonpayment of all such returns, taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and provided further that nothing in this Section 9.4 shall impose any obligation on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to file any tax returns, pay any taxes shown thereon or pay and discharge any other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, levies or claims to the extent that, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Leases or EPR Senior Property Loan Documents or other applicable lease or

Section 9.6.Books and Records.

-28-






(b)    At the election of the Company and by written notice to each holder of Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (including any Subsidiary Guarantor that becomes a party thereto by virtue of a Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement) shall be discharged from all of its obligations and liabilities under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and shall be automatically released from its obligations thereunder without the need for the execution or delivery of any other document by the holders, provided that (1) at the time of such release and discharge, the Company shall have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies, (2) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor or is otherwise liable for or in respect of any Parity Indebtedness, then such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement) from its Guaranty or other liability in respect of such Parity Indebtedness, (3) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such release and discharge, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, if such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have provided its Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement pursuant to Section 9.9(a)(y)(A), the Covenant Relief Period shall have been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (4) no amount is then due and payable under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, (5) if in connection with such Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged from its Guaranty or other liability in respect of such Parity Indebtedness, any fee or other form of consideration (excluding reimbursement of expenses) is given to any holder of Indebtedness under any such agreement for such release, the holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration substantially concurrently therewith and (6) each holder shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying as to the matters set forth in clauses (1) through (5).
(c)    Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 17.1, the consent of each holder of Notes shall be required for any release and discharge of all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations and liabilities under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement that is not made in accordance with the preceding sentence.
Section 9.10.Most Favored Lender Provision.  If at any time any Material Credit Facility or any Guaranty in respect thereof shall include any Financial Covenant that is not contained in Section 10.6 or is more restrictive than the analogous provision contained in this Agreement (any such Financial Covenant, together with any related definitions (including any components of such definitions) (including, without limitation, any term defined therein with reference to the application of GAAP, as identified in such Material Credit Facility), an “Additional or More Restrictive Covenant”), then the Company shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days thereof, provide a Most Favored Lender Notice with respect to each such Additional or More Restrictive Covenant; provided that a Most Favored Lender Notice is not required to be given in the case of the Additional or More Restrictive Covenants incorporated herein on the Execution Date or through and including the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.  Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within 10 days of the Purchasers and holders receipt of such notice, such Additional or More Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein, effective (a) in the case of any Additional or More Restrictive Covenant effective on the Execution Date or through and including the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, as of such date, and (b) in the case of any Additional or More Restrictive Covenant effective after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, as of the earliest date when such Additional or More Restrictive Covenant became effective under such Material Credit Facility.  Any Additional or More Restrictive Covenant incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to this provision, (1) shall be deemed automatically waived herein to reflect any waiver of such Additional or More 
-29-






Restrictive Covenant under the applicable Material Credit Facility, (2) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments agreed and implemented in relation to such Additional or More Restrictive Covenant under the applicable Material Credit Facility; and (3) shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Additional or More Restrictive Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from or is no longer in effect under or pursuant to each Material Credit Facility; provided that in no event shall the effect of any event contemplated by clause (1), (2) or (3) above result in any covenant set forth in Section 10.6 being less restrictive than it was on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date or being deleted herefrom; provided further in each case that any consideration paid or provided to any holder of Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility in connection with an event contemplated by clause (1), (2) or (3) above (other than reimbursement of expenses and repayment in full of such Material Credit Facility in connection with its termination) is paid to each holder of Notes at the same time and on equivalent terms; and provided further that no Additional or More Restrictive Covenant shall be so deemed automatically waived, amended or deleted during any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  In determining whether a breach of any Financial Covenant incorporated by reference into this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.10 shall constitute an Event of Default, the period of grace, if any, applicable to such Additional or More Restrictive Covenant in the applicable Material Credit Facility shall apply.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.10 shall obligate the Company to provide notice of any Additional or More Restrictive Covenant, or for any Additional or More Restrictive Covenant to be incorporated herein, if such Additional or More Restrictive Covenant is contained in an agreement that relates solely to Indebtedness incurred by a Subsidiary that is not an Unencumbered Property Owner Subsidiary or an Unencumbered Equity Owner Subsidiary and such Additional or More Restrictive Covenant applies only to such Subsidiary.
Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Company fails to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.
Section 9.11.    Springing Equity Pledge and Mortgages. 
(a)    If, during the continuation of the Covenant Relief Period, a Pledge Trigger Event occurs, then, in addition to the Company’s obligations under Section 9.9(a) within five Business Days of the occurrence of such Pledge Trigger Event, the Company will provide to the holders of the Notes a proposed schedule of Unencumbered Properties with respect to which an equity interest pledge shall be granted to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Notes and the administrative agent and the lenders under the Bank Credit Agreement, to secure the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the Notes, which Unencumbered Properties will be representative (on a pro rata value basis) of the various asset classes owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, with the aggregate Unencumbered Asset Value of such Unencumbered Properties to be at least equal to the  Required Value.  The proposed schedule shall be acceptable to the Required Lenders (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement).  If on the date of occurrence of the Pledge Trigger Event the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes equals or exceeds the Outstanding Amount of all Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements (each as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement on the Second Amendment Effective Date), the proposed schedule of Unencumbered Properties shall also be acceptable to the Required Holders in their reasonable discretion; provided that the Required Holders shall be deemed to have accepted such schedule if they do not reasonably object thereto within 
-30-






five Business Days after receipt of the schedule from the Company that has been approved by the Required Lenders (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement).  If the Required Holders, in their discretion, reasonably object to such schedule pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Required Holders shall have the right to revise the schedule of Unencumbered Properties to reflect, in the reasonable determination of the Required Holders, a fair representation (on a pro rata value basis) of the various asset classes owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, with the aggregate Unencumbered Asset Value of such revised schedule of Unencumbered Properties to be as close as practicable to (but not less than) the Required Value.  Upon approval (or revision) by the Required Lenders (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) (and, if applicable, upon approval or deemed approval (or revision) by the Required Holders) of such list of Unencumbered Properties (such final list, the “Pledged Properties”), the Company shall cause each owner of Equity Interests of the Unencumbered Property Owner Subsidiaries that own such Pledged Properties to (1) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, within 10 Business Days after the approval (or revision) of the Pledged Properties schedule, a pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) substantially in the form attached to the Second Amendment as Exhibit PA (or a joinder to the Pledge Agreement if already in effect pursuant to this Section 9.11(a)) and appropriate certificates and powers and/or Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, pledging all Equity Interests of each such Unencumbered Property Owner Subsidiary with respect to the Pledged Properties, in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders, and (2) the organizational documents, certificates of good standing, resolutions and, if requested by the Required Holders, a legal opinion regarding the Company and such Subsidiaries, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.  Any such pledge shall also require, as determined by the Required Holders, delivery of an intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) substantially in the form attached to the Second Amendment as Exhibit IA.  
(b)    If the Company elects to have the Covenant Relief Period end after October 1, 2021, then (1) the Company shall provide written notice thereof to the holders of the Notes not later than September 30, 2021 together with a proposed schedule of Unencumbered Properties with respect to which Mortgages shall be granted to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Notes and the administrative agent and the lenders under the Bank Credit Agreement, to secure the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the Notes, which Unencumbered Properties will be representative (on a pro rata value basis) of the various asset classes owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, with the aggregate Unencumbered Asset Value of such Unencumbered Properties to be at least equal to the  Required Value, which schedule shall be acceptable to the Required Lenders (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) and the Required Holders (such final list, the “Mortgaged Properties”); provided that (i) the Required Holders shall be deemed to have accepted such schedule if they do not reasonably object thereto within five Business Days after receipt of the schedule from the Company that has been approved by the Required Lenders (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) and (ii) if the Required Holders, in their discretion, reasonably object to such schedule, the Required Holders shall have the right to revise the schedule of Unencumbered Properties to reflect, in the reasonable determination of the Required Holders, a fair representation (on a pro rata value basis) of the various asset classes owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, with the aggregate Unencumbered Asset Value of such revised schedule of Unencumbered Properties to be as close as practicable to (but not less than) the Required Value and (2) the Company shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, not later than October 29, 2021, (i) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent Mortgages on such approved Unencumbered Properties to the Collateral Agent, (ii) cause evidence of the recording of such Mortgages to be delivered to the holders of the Notes, (iii) cause the 
-31-






Intercreditor Agreement, if not then in effect, to be executed and delivered and (iv) deliver such other certifications, instruments and other documents, including title policies and/or legal opinions, as the Required Holders may reasonably request.
(c)    After the pledge of the Pledged Properties and/or the execution and delivery of the Mortgages, as applicable, if (1) the Required Value increases as a result of an increase in the sum of (i) the amount of Outstanding Amounts due under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the principal amount of the Notes, the above process shall be repeated as of the date of any such increase, or (2) there is an increase or decrease in the aggregate Unencumbered Asset Value of the Pledged Properties or the Mortgaged Properties, as applicable, as a result of a Lease Modification (as hereinafter defined), the above processes in clause (b) and/or (c), as applicable, shall be repeated as of the date of delivery of the financial statements next required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) after the date of such Lease Modification, in each case with respect to the pledge of equity interests and/or the granting of Mortgages, as applicable, in respect of additional Unencumbered Properties such that the aggregate Unencumbered Asset Value of all of the Pledged Properties and/or the Mortgaged Properties, as applicable, shall be as close as practicable to (but not less than) the Required Value.  For the purposes of this Section 9.11, the Unencumbered Asset Value of each Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property shall mean (I) for any Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property (other than any AMC Pledged Property) owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries on March 31, 2020, the Unencumbered Asset Value of such Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property as of such date, (II) for an AMC Pledged Property owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries on March 31, 2020, 80% of the Unencumbered Asset Value of such AMC Pledged Property as of such date (except as otherwise provided in clause (IV) below), (III) for any Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property (including any AMC Pledged Property) owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries and acquired after March 31, 2020, the cost of such Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property determined in accordance with GAAP and (IV) for any Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property (including any AMC Pledged Property) that has undergone a lease modification after March 31, 2020 where the rent has been permanently adjusted (a “Lease Modification”), the Unencumbered Asset Value of such Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property determined after giving effect to the new rent charged (for purposes of this clause (IV), a termination of a lease or the vacating by the tenant of a Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property shall be deemed to be a permanent adjustment of the rent to $0 until such time as such Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property is re-leased, at which time such Pledged Property or Mortgaged Property shall have an Unencumbered Asset Value based upon the new lease).  For the avoidance of doubt, a COVID-19 related deferral of rent or similar payments shall not constitute a Lease Modification. 


















-32-






(d)    So long as no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, and simultaneously with the direction of each other creditor that is a party to the Intercreditor Agreement, (1) at such time as the Covenant Relief Period shall have expired or been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the holders of the Notes shall direct the Collateral Agent, at the Company’s expense, to release the Liens pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and (2) promptly following the later to occur of (i) the last day of the first fiscal quarter for which the Company has caused to be delivered a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company pursuant to Section 7.2 demonstrating that the Company was in compliance with the requirements of Section 10.6 and each Additional or More Restrictive Covenant for such fiscal quarter and the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (assuming the Covenant Relief Period was not in effect at the end of either such fiscal quarter) or (ii) June 30, 2022, the holders of the Notes shall direct the Collateral Agent, at the Company’s expense, to release the Liens pledged pursuant to the Mortgages.
Section 9.12.    Excess Leverage Fee.  The Company agrees that, in addition to interest accruing on the Notes, the Company will pay to each holder of a Note a fee on the outstanding principal amount of each Note held by such holder, computed on the same basis and payable at the same time as such interest, at a rate per annum equal to (collectively, the “Excess Leverage Fee”): 
(a)    0.65% from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date until the last day of the Covenant Relief Period; and 
(b)    in addition to the fee then payable pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), 0.60% at all times during the Covenant Relief Period when the Company fails to maintain an Investment Grade Rating from any two of the Rating Agencies until the date on which the Company has fully complied with Section 9.11(b)(2).
The accrued and unpaid Excess Leverage Fee on any principal amount being paid or prepaid shall be paid concurrently with such principal in accordance with Section 14.2.  Any overdue payment of an Excess Leverage Fee shall accrue interest at a rate per annum from time to time equal to the Default Rate applicable to the applicable Note, payable in arrears at the same time accrued interest is paid on such Note (or, at the option of the registered holder thereof, on demand).  For the avoidance of doubt, each Excess Leverage Fee shall be deemed to constitute a fee for all purposes.
Section 9.13.    Covenant to Make a Pro Rata Prepayment Offer to Prepay Notes Upon Certain Transactions.
















-33-






The provisions of this Section 9.13 shall be effective from the Second Amendment Effective Date to the last day of the Covenant Relief Period.
(a)    Notice of Prepayment Transaction.  The Company will, not later than two Business Days after the occurrence of a Prepayment Transaction, give a notice thereof to each holder of Notes.  Such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in Section 9.13(b) and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 9.13(e).
(b)    Offer to Prepay Notes.  The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Section 9.13(a) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 9.13, all or a portion of the Notes held by each holder on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”) that is a Business Day not less than 20 days and not more than 30 days after the date of such offer (or if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day nearest to the 20th day after the date of such offer).  The offer to prepay Notes under this Section 9.13(b) shall be made pro rata to each holder of Notes (based on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by each such holder) in an aggregate amount equal to the Allocation Percentage multiplied by the applicable Net Cash Proceeds (each an “Offered Amount”).
(c)    Acceptance; Rejection.  A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 9.13 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not more than 10 days after receipt of the offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 9.13.  A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 9.13 shall be deemed to constitute (1) a rejection of such offer by such holder if such prepayment is to be made without Make-Whole Amount or (2) an acceptance of such offer by such holder if such payment is to be made with Make-Whole Amount.  On the Business Day immediately following such 10th day, the Company shall offer the rejected (or deemed rejected) portion of the Offered Amount to prepay the Notes of the holders that have accepted the first prepayment offer on a pro rata basis, and any failure by any such holder to respond to such second offer prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be deemed to constitute (i) a rejection of such second offer by such holder if such prepayment is to be made without Make-Whole Amount or (ii) an acceptance of such second offer by such holder if such payment is to be made with Make-Whole Amount.

Section 22.Miscellaneous.
Section22.1.Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.2, the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section22.2.Accounting Terms.  All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (1) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (2) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company notifies the holders of Notes that, in the Company’s reasonable opinion, or if the Required Holders notify the Company that, in the Required Holders’ reasonable opinion, as a result of changes in GAAP from time to time (“Subsequent Changes”), any of the covenants contained in Sections 10.6 or any of the defined terms used therein, no longer apply as intended such that such covenants are materially more or less restrictive to the Company than are such covenants immediately prior to giving effect to such Subsequent Changes, the Company and the holders of Notes shall negotiate in good faith to reset or amend such covenants or defined terms so as to negate such Subsequent Changes, or to establish alternative covenants or defined terms.  Until the Company and the Required Holders so agree to reset, amend or establish alternative covenants or defined terms, the covenants contained in Sections 10.6, together with the relevant defined terms, shall continue to apply and compliance therewith shall be determined assuming that the Subsequent Changes shall not have occurred (“Static GAAP”).  During any period that compliance with any covenants shall be determined pursuant to Static GAAP, the Company shall include relevant reconciliations in reasonable detail between GAAP and Static GAAP with respect to the applicable covenant compliance calculations contained in each certificate of a Senior Financial Officer delivered pursuant to Section 7.2 during such period.  For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.
For covenant calculations that require the determination of Net Operating Income, Net Income (or Loss), and/or EBITDA (each, an “Income Component”) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Unconsolidated Affiliates, any amounts comprising such Income Components that are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars shall be converted to U.S. dollars using the same exchange rates used by the Company for its financial statements filed (or to be filed) with the SEC for the applicable period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 22.2 or in the definition of “Capitalized Lease Obligation,” in the event of an accounting change requiring leases to be capitalized, only those leases that would have constituted capital leases on the Amendment Effective Date (assuming for purposes hereof that they were in existence on the Amendment Effective Date) shall be considered capital or finance leases, and all calculations under this Agreement shall be made in accordance therewith (Capitalized Lease Obligations shall exclude operating lease liabilities required to be recorded on the balance sheet of a Person pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (ASC 842), provided that each certificate of a Senior Financial Officer delivered to the holders of the Notes in accordance with Section 7.2 after the date of such accounting change shall contain a schedule showing the such non-GAAP adjustments necessary to reconcile such calculations with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such accounting change).
Section22.3.Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section22.4.Construction, Etc.  Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.  Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”  The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.”  Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, (b) subject to Section 22.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.
