1.2 Services and Exclusivity of Services. The Company and Executive recognize that the services to be rendered by Executive are of such
a nature as to be peculiarly rendered by Executive, encompass the individual ability, managerial skills and business experience of Executive and cannot be measured exclusively in terms of hours or services rendered in any particular period.
Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time and shall use Executive’s best efforts, energy and ability exclusively toward advancing the business, affairs and interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and matters related
thereto. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from serving on boards of directors of up to one other company which is not competitive to the Company upon the Board’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld or participating on a
board of or in trade organizations, charitable, community, school or religious activities that do not substantially interfere with his duties and responsibilities hereunder or conflict with the interests of the Company. 

1.3 Location of Office. The Company shall make available to Executive an office and support services at the Company’s headquarters
in Dallas/Plano, Texas area. Executive’s main office shall be at such location.

 2. Term. The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the
“Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of three (3) years thereafter; provided, however, that at the end of each year of the Term, the Term shall be extended for an additional one-year period unless Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated in accordance with Section 5.

remaining on the scheduled Term after giving effect to the most recent extension of the Term occurring prior to any termination of the Term. 

3. Compensation. 
 3.1
Base Salary. During the Term, the Company will pay to Executive a base salary at the rate of $450,000.00 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s practices in effect from time to time (“Base Salary”).
Amounts payable shall be reduced by standard withholding and other authorized deductions. Such Base Salary shall be reviewed during the Term for increase (but not decrease) in the sole discretion of the Board, or such individual, group or committee

the Company, including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs. The Company reserves the right to modify,
suspend or discontinue any and all of its benefits referred to in this Section 3.2 at any time without recourse by Executive so long as such action is taken generally with respect to other executives and does not single out Executive. 

(b) In addition to his Base Salary, for each fiscal year ending during the Term, Executive will be entitled to participate in the Cinemark
Holdings, Inc. Performance Bonus Plan (the “Annual Bonus Plan”), as such Annual Bonus Plan may be amended from time to time, or pursuant to the terms of any successor plan. If the performance targets specified by the

3.4 Travel and Expenses. Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in the furtherance of the business of the
Company in accordance with the Company’s practices and procedures, as they may exist from time to time. Executive may, in his discretion, elect to purchase, and be reimbursed for, business class tickets on any international flights for which

processes, advertising, marketing and promotional plans and materials, price lists, pricing policies, ticket sales, film licensing, purchasing, real estate acquisition and leasing, other financial information and other trade secrets, confidential
information and proprietary material of the Company and its affiliates or designated as being confidential by the Company or its affiliates which are not generally known to non-Company personnel, including information and material originated,

its Affiliates or their representatives) that is not and was not prohibited from disclosing such information to Executive by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation. Executive agrees that during the Term and, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, thereafter, Executive will, in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company and its affiliates, hold all Confidential Information strictly in confidence and will not directly or indirectly reveal, report, disclose, publish or transfer
any of such Confidential Information to any Person, or utilize any of the Confidential Information for any purpose, except in furtherance of Executive’s employment under this Agreement and except to the extent that Executive may be required by

the United States is exclusively assigned, on the basis of the television viewing habits of the people residing in the county, to one and only one Designated Market Area; and all theatres operated by the Company and its Subsidiaries in Canada shall
be treated as being outside of a Major DMA. Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from (i) being a passive owner of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long
as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation, or (ii) during the one year period following the termination of Executive’s employment, owning, operating or investing in up to five (5) movie theatres, so
long as each such theatre is outside of a 25-mile radius of the theatres being operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or under consideration by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for opening, in each case, as of the time of
termination of Executive’s employment. During the one-year period following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall provide reasonable notice to the Company of his plans for acquiring ownership in,
commencing operations of, or investing in, any movie theatre prior to any such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s obligations under this Section 4.2 shall terminate and become null and void if Executive terminates his
employment with Good Reason.

time to time in the course of providing services pursuant to this Agreement, Executive shall have the opportunity to inspect and use certain property, both tangible and intangible, of the Company and its affiliates and Executive hereby agrees that
such property shall remain the exclusive property of the Company and its affiliates. Executive shall have no right or proprietary interest in such property, whether tangible or intangible, including, without limitation, Executive’s customer and
supplier lists, contract forms, books of account, computer programs and similar property.

based upon the percentage determined by dividing (i) the number of days from and including the grant date of such Equity Award through the termination date of Executive’s employment, by (ii) the number of days from the grant date to
the end of the applicable performance period without regard to any continued employment requirement.

requires a different construction, be deemed to be references to the Articles and Sections of this Agreement. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words
of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender,
shall include all other genders, and the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. The use herein of the word “including” following any general statement, term or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or
matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation”, “but not limited to”, or words of similar
import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter.
