any other insurance that Owner or Manager may reasonably request.
(2) Upon Owner's request, Manager shall not unreasonably
refuse to provide insurance coverage for the Partnership Property through
inclusion of the Partnership Property in Manager's multi-theatre policy, if any,
in which event Owner shall reimburse Manager for the actual cost of such
insurance, or, if not reasonably determinable, for a prorata share of the total
cost of such insurance. If the insurance coverage is provided through inclusion

in connection with the operation of the Partnership Property. Promptly following

loss payment clauses in the form reasonably required by any mortgage or other
agreement.
(4) Manager shall immediately notify Owner of any
casualty, disaster, loss, damage or injury occurring at the Partnership Property
whether covered by insurance or not. Manager shall not use the Partnership
Property, or permit the same to be used, for any purpose which will make void or
voidable any of such insurance policies, and shall not keep or allow to be kept
at the Partnership Property any material, machinery, equipment, substance or
other thing which may make void or voidable any of such insurance policies.
Manager shall, upon the
5
request of Owner, assist Owner in any reasonable manner, as Owner may request,
in the settlement of any claim under any of such insurance policies.
(c) Maintenance and Repair of the Theatre. Manager shall
maintain, or cause to be maintained the buildings, appurtenances and grounds of

ordinances and regulations, federal, state and local, and in accordance with
standards reasonably acceptable to Owner, including within such maintenance,
without limitation thereof, interior and exterior cleaning, painting and
decorating, plumbing, equipment, carpentry and such other normal maintenance and
repair work as may be reasonably necessary. For any other individual item of
repair or replacement, the expense incurred shall not exceed the sum of $50,000
unless specifically authorized by Owner, except, however, that emergency repairs
immediately necessary for the preservation and safety of the Theatre or to avoid
the suspension of any service to the Theatre or danger of life or property may
be made by Manager without the approval of Owner. Standards established by Owner
under this Section 2(c) may not be so low as to expose Manager to risk of
liability to other persons. Manager shall not be obligated by this Section 2(c)
to institute any major capital improvements. In the event Manager fails for any
reason to perform its obligations hereunder to maintain and repair, and funds
are available therefore, after 30 days' prior written notice from Owner to do
so, then, Owner may make the necessary repairs.
3. Payment of Expenses.
(a) All costs, expenses, fees and charges with respect to the
use, operation or management of the Partnership Property, including, but not
limited to, the costs incurred by Manager in performing its duties under Section
2 hereof and the cost of film rental payments, advertising, legal or
professional cost, salaries of managers and all other on-site employees,
utilities and insurance shall be borne by Owner. In the event Revenue is not
sufficient to cover the cost of all such expenses and upon the receipt of notice
of such event, Owner shall promptly advance to Manager such sums as may from
time to time be required. Manager shall not be required or obligated to provide
or advance any moneys for any such costs, charges or expenses. However, Manager
shall bear and pay all of its own overhead including the, salaries of its own
officers, regional supervisory, administrative or accounting personnel.
(b) Manager shall collect the Revenues of the Partnership
Property and deposit such Revenues into one or more of Owner's bank accounts, as
specified by Owner. Manager shall prepare and deliver to Owner checks written on
such bank accounts for all Cash Expenditures of the Partnership Property,
including the Management Fee, and for other sums required to be paid by Owner
under this Agreement.
(c) Owner shall reimburse Manager within 30 days of written
demand for any sums expended by Manager which are required by this Agreement to
be borne by Owner and for which Manager has not been otherwise reimbursed.
4. Management Fee. For the services to be rendered by Manager
hereunder, Owner agrees to pay Manager an annual management fee (the "Management
Fee") equal to five percent (5%) of the Revenues in each year. On or before the
30th day following the last day of each month, Owner shall pay Manager the
portion of the Management Fee earned during the
6
preceding month based upon the financial statements of Owner prepared by
Manager. Three percent (3%) of such Management Fee shall be subordinated on an
annual basis to the Minimum Annual Pre-Tax Return on Investment (the
"Subordinated Management Fee"). Any unpaid Subordinated Management Fee shall
accumulate and be payable in any year to the extent Net Cash from Operations and
Net Cash from Other Sources exceeds the distributable amount required to provide
the Limited Partners the Minimum Annual Pre-Tax Return on Investment. Upon the
sale of the Theatre or any subsequent refinancing of the Partnership, any
Subordinated Management Fee shall be payable from the Net Cash from Other
Sources which exceed 137.5% of the Limited Partners' initial capital
contribution. Upon the distribution to the Limited Partners of any proceeds of
at least 137.5% of the Limited Partners' initial capital contribution from any
subsequent refinancing, Cinemark USA shall no longer subordinate its management
fee and thereafter shall receive a management fee, payable monthly in arrears,
in an amount equal to 5% of all Partnership revenues determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Within 30 days after the audited
financial statements of Owner for the preceding fiscal year are delivered to
Manager and Owner, the parties shall calculate the amount of the Management Fee
for such fiscal year and any adjustments between the parties shall be made.
5. Term of Agreement.

provisions of this Section, Manager may terminate this Agreement at any time
upon ten (10) days notice to Owner in the event that Owner breaches or defaults
in the performance of any material covenant or obligation of Owner hereunder.
Such termination shall not prejudice any other rights or remedies available to
Manager as a result of such breach or default. At any time that Manager
determines that there has, been a breach or default in the performance by Owner
of any material covenant or obligation of Owner hereunder, Manager shall give
Owner a Termination Notice, specifying in reasonable detail the breach or
default and giving Manager at least thirty (30) days to cure such breach or
default. If Owner has not cured the breach or default within the time allowed in
the Termination Notice, the Termination Notice shall be effective and the
Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the provisions of such notice. If
Owner cures the breach or default within the time allowed in Termination Notice,
the Termination Notice shall be ineffective and the term of this Agreement shall
continue as though the Termination Notice had not been given. However, if a
longer period is actually necessary in order to cure the breach or default, the
effectiveness of the Termination Notice shall be suspended beyond such time
until the earlier of (A) the cure of the breach or default, in which case the
Termination Notice shall be ineffective and the term of this Agreement shall
continue as though the Termination Notice had not been given or (B) Owner
discontinuing diligently pursuing a cure for the breach or default in which case

misconduct.
(c) Effect of Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation. The indemnities
herein contained shall not apply to any claims with respect to which the

endeavor to secure from its insurer waivers of subrogation with respect to
claims against the other parties under policies in which the other parties are
not named insureds, and shall promptly notify the other parties in the event
that any such waiver is unobtainable or is obtainable only upon payment of an

own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. For purposes of this

next sentence, (i) with respect to booking services, numerous subjective and

or its affiliates employ or employed in other geographic areas or markets, and

markets or for other theatres owned, leased or managed by Manager in the same
geographical area; provided that Manager shall conduct the Settlement Policies

representation or covenant as to the Settlement Policies or booking policies it
has or will have with respect to any theatres which are owned, leased or managed
by Manager or its affiliates or which are to be managed pursuant to this
Agreement other than that Manager will employ the same policies and practices in
respect thereof on behalf of the Theatre as it does on behalf of Manager's
theatres and that Manager will act in good faith in respect thereof.
