The parties further acknowledge and agree that, to the extent that the provisions of this clause 5.10 require the Management Shareholders to procure that the financial statements of the Target Group will be converted from UK GAAP and restated in accordance with US GAAP, the costs and expenses of such conversion and restatement (including any costs incurred by

the Target Group in engaging the auditors of the Target Group to undertake such conversion and restatement) will be borne directly by the Purchaser.

5.11 The parties acknowledge and agree that as the Shareholder Loan Amount will as at Completion exceed the Net Equity Value, the Seller intends to take certain steps after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to Completion to adjust the Shareholder Loan Amount to ensure that, on Completion, the Shareholder Loan Amount is equal to the Net Equity Value less £1.00 (such adjusted amount, the “Adjusted Shareholder Loan Amount”), and the Purchaser agrees to all such steps (including waiver) being taken provided that the taking of such steps does not give rise to any detriment to the Purchaser or to the Target Group. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with reasonable notice of all such steps proposed to be taken and shall not take any such steps without the consent of the Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

5.12 To the extent that interest has accrued but has not yet been paid on the Shareholder Loan or as the case may be the Shareholder Loan Notes, and prior to the Completion Date, none of the following have occurred:

(a) the Company and/or SubCo (as relevant) have been issued with a valid direction from HMRC to pay interest on the Shareholder Loan or as the case may be the Shareholder Loan Notes free from withholding or deduction of tax; or

(b) in the case of the Shareholder Loan Notes, the Shareholder Loan Notes have been listed on the Channel Islands Securities Exchange; or

(c) some other exemption from withholding or deduction of UK income tax applies to the interest payable on the Shareholder Loan or as the case may be the Shareholder Loan Notes,

the Seller and the Management Shareholders shall or shall procure that necessary steps are taken to permit the Company and/or SubCo (as the case may be) to make payments in respect of such interest without any withholding or deduction of tax.

5.13 In the case of clause 5.12(c) or where steps are otherwise taken under clause 5.12 that are not within clause 5.12(a) or (b), no steps shall be taken by the Seller, the Management Shareholders or the Company without obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

5.14 It is the expectation of the parties that (i) if one of the matters referred to in clauses 5.12(a) or (b) has occurred; or (ii) the Purchaser’s consent is given in accordance with clause 5.13 to a particular course of action and the action as consented to is implemented accordingly, then payment of interest on the Shareholder Loan and/or Shareholder Loan Notes will not be subject to withholding tax and the Purchaser shall be obliged to procure the making of the payment referred to in clause 6.2(b) without withholding or deduction of tax.

5.15 The Purchaser shall:

(a) take any action reasonably requested by the Seller and/or the Management Shareholders; and/or

(b) give the Seller and/or the Management Shareholders such reasonable assistance,

as may be required for the Seller and the Management Shareholders to take any steps in accordance with clause 5.12 provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Target Company and (subject to the prior consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) all reasonable and properly incurred out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in respect of any step taken in accordance with clause 5.12 shall be for the sole account of the Seller. Without prejudice to the foregoing, any such costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser shall upon production of a valid invoice not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Completion Date be set off against the sum payable to the Seller at Completion, and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such costs and expenses incurred by the Target Companies shall be Transaction Fees.

5.16 Notwithstanding any action taken by the Seller under clause 5.12, if the Company and/or SubCo is required by law to make any withholdings or deductions in respect of the Shareholder Loan or the Shareholder Loan Notes (whether by reason of the failure to receive a valid direction from HMRC, any change in law prior to Completion or otherwise) the Company and/or SubCo shall be permitted to make such deduction or withholding as is required and shall not be required to make any additional payments in respect of the Shareholder Loan or the Shareholder Loan Notes, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained within the Shareholder Loan or the Shareholder Loan Notes or otherwise agreed between the parties to such instruments.

5.17 The parties acknowledge and agree that if there is a change of law relating to withholding tax in the period prior to Completion, the Seller may be required to take certain steps in accordance with provisions of clauses 5.12(c) and 5.13 provided however that such steps shall be required to be taken prior to the Completion Date and Completion shall not be deferred by reason of any such steps required or proposed to be taken.

5.18 If acting reasonably the Seller and the Purchaser determine that the steps taken under clauses 5.12 to 5.17 will give rise to detriment to the Purchaser then the Seller shall be entitled to set-off against any payment due from the Purchaser to the Seller under this Agreement an amount equal to the net present value of the cost of the reasonably foreseeable detriment, such value to be determined and agreed by the Seller and the Purchaser acting reasonably and in good faith.

5.19 The Management Shareholders and the Company undertake to the Seller and the Purchaser to procure that each member of the Target Group will comply with its obligations to provide information to, and consult with (as the case may be): (i) the employees of the Target Group; (ii) any relevant employee body of the employees of the Target Group; or (iii) the appropriate representatives of the employees of the Target Group (including, without limitation, the European Works Council), concerning the

Proposed Transaction and the potential impact of the Proposed Transaction on the employees of the Target Group.

5.20 In order to assist each member of the Target Group to comply with its obligations in clause 5.19, as soon as reasonably practicable following a request from the Management Shareholders or the Company (such request being reasonable in the context of the obligations described in clause 5.19), the Purchaser shall provide the relevant member of the Target Group with such details of its proposals, if any, that may affect the employees of that Target Company following Completion. The parties shall update the Seller from time to time of progress in relation to the consultation.

5.21 In furtherance of clauses 5.19 and 5.20, and subject to compliance by the Purchaser with its obligations under clause 5.20, the Management Shareholders will:

(a) promptly notify the Purchaser of any material communication received from any relevant employee body of the employees of the Target Group or the appropriate representatives of the employees of the Target Group (including, without limitation, the European Works Council); and

(b) provide the Purchaser with details of the Target Group’s proposed strategy for complying with the obligations described in clause 5.19, including providing the Purchaser with copies of any communications intended to be disseminated as part of information and consultation at such time as will to the extent practicable allow the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s legal advisers a reasonable opportunity to provide comments on such communications and will keep the Purchaser informed of all material developments.

(ii) AMC shall deliver evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, (A) of the issuance to the Seller of the Consideration Shares; and (B) that the Consideration Shares have been authorized for listing on NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the number of Consideration Shares to be delivered at Completion would require AMC to obtain stockholder approval prior to such issuance under applicable rules of the NYSE, then the number of Consideration Shares AMC is required to issue shall be reduced to the highest number that would not require AMC to obtain stockholder approval for issuance (the “Delivered Shares”) and AMC shall deliver to the Seller an amount of cash equal to the product of (A) the difference between the number of Consideration Shares that would otherwise be required to be delivered at Completion were it not for this proviso and the Delivered Shares and (B) the sterling denominated VWAP of the Class A Common Stock over the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the Completion Statement Date, with the VWAP converted from US dollars to sterling using the exchange rate on each of those twenty (20) consecutive trading days as published in the London Financial Times,

17.7 AMC undertakes to the Seller that, until the expiry of the Governance Protection Period, AMC and (where relevant) the members of the AMC Group:

(a) shall remain listed on the NYSE;

(b) will not incur indebtedness if such indebtedness would result in Consolidated Debt of the AMC Group as of the end of a fiscal quarter to exceed the product of six (6) times the Consolidated LTM EBITDA of the AMC Group as of the end of such quarter;

(d) will not issue any common equity which rank senior to the Consideration Shares issued to the Seller;

(e) will not issue any Preferred Stock on terms that disproportionately impact the rights attaching to the Consideration Shares compared with the impact on other equity shares without the prior written consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed,

(f) will not, after any issuance of Preferred Stock, amend its organisational documents, or take any other action, so as to amend the rights, preferences or privileges attaching to such shares of Preferred Stock on terms that disproportionately impact the rights attaching to the Consideration Shares compared with the impact on other equity shares;

(g) will not amend its organisational documents or take other action that would result in the amendment of any of the rights, preferences or privileges of any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock; and

(h) will not enter into any related party transaction or arrangement with Xxxxx with a value or cost in excess of USD $500,000 unless such transaction or arrangement: (i) is approved by an independent committee or the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of AMC; or (ii) was disclosed to Seller prior to the date of this Agreement as part of its due diligence process.

17.8 Until the expiry of the Governance Protection Period, to the extent not disclosed to the Seller prior to the date of this Agreement as part of its due diligence process, AMC undertakes to the Seller to provide reasonable notice to the Seller prior to it or any member of the AMC Group effecting:

(a) any acquisition or disposal involving consideration in excess of $78.2 million;

(b) any material variation in the nature of AMC’s business;

(d) any material variation to the proposed terms for the acquisition by AMC of Carmike Cinemas, Inc.

As a condition to receiving the above information, the Seller agrees to keep all such information confidential and to not disclose it to any person. The Seller shall comply with all applicable securities laws while in possession of such information.

17.9 The Seller undertakes to AMC to comply with the provisions of Schedule 4.

17.10 As soon as practicable after Completion and, in any event, within 60 days thereof (but after the Seller has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon), AMC shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 or such other form under the Securities Act then available to AMC (the “Form S-3”) with respect to the resale of the Consideration Shares. AMC shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Form S-3 is declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable thereafter, and shall maintain the effectiveness of the Form S-3 for the resale of the Consideration Shares for so long as the Seller holds any of the Consideration Shares, or until the Seller is permitted to sell all the Consideration Shares without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. In connection with the Form S-3, AMC shall (i) pay any filing fees or other costs and expenses incurred by AMC in connection with such registration (other than underwriting discounts and commissions), (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act in connection with resales of the Consideration Shares, (iii) furnish to the Seller such numbers of copies of a prospectus conforming to the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Consideration Shares, (iv) notify the Seller (A) of any request by the SEC that AMC amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus, or (B) to cease distribution of the prospectus if the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances, and, as soon as reasonably practicable, file with the SEC and furnish to the Seller, a supplement or amendment to such prospectus such that such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and (v) indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its affiliates from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by or relating to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus relating to the Consideration Shares, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, except (1) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses are caused by or related to any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission so made based upon information furnished in writing to AMC by the Seller expressly for use therein or (2) if AMC had notified the Seller to discontinue the use of any registration statement or prospectus or had previously provided an amended or supplemented prospectus to the Seller and such amended or supplemented prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses.

17.11 Subject to the Seller complying with the provisions of Schedule 4 but subject to clause 17.25, once the Form S-3 is declared effective by the SEC, AMC undertakes to the Seller to undertake at the Seller’s cost up to two (2) marketed roadshows, as soon as reasonably practicable following a request from the Seller, in order to assist the Seller to market any proposed disposal of the Consideration Shares.

17.12 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, AMC may acting in good faith suspend the filing or use of the Form S-3 or any prospectus, if AMC shall have reasonably determined that because of valid business reasons, including without limitation any proposal or plan of AMC or any of its subsidiaries to effect a merger, acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or other transaction, or because of required public disclosure or filings with the SEC, it is in the best interests of AMC to suspend such use and prior to suspending such use AMC provides the Seller with written notice of such suspension, which notice need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such suspension; but in no event shall AMC avail itself of such right to suspend the filing or use of the Form S-3 or any prospectus for more than 90 days, in the aggregate, in any period of 365 consecutive days. Upon receipt of such notice, the Seller agrees not to sell any Consideration Shares pursuant to the Form S-3 until the Seller is advised in writing that the Form S-3 and the prospectus may be used, which notice AMC agrees to provide promptly following the lapse of the event or circumstances giving rise to such suspension. The Seller shall keep confidential any communications received by it from AMC regarding the suspension of the use of the Form S-3 and/or the prospectus (including the fact of the suspension), except as required by applicable law.

17.13 The Seller shall only transfer, sell, or dispose of the Consideration Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Schedule 4, any applicable prospectus, and all applicable securities laws. The Seller shall be responsible for the delivery of the prospectus as may be required to any person to whom the Seller sells any of the Consideration Shares. The Seller shall not use any free writing prospectus without the consent of AMC.

17.14 After the Form S-3 becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Seller agrees that upon receipt of notice of the happening of an event listed below, the Seller shall forthwith discontinue (and shall cause its agents and representatives to discontinue) disposition of Consideration Shares and will not resume disposition of Consideration Shares until the Seller has received copies of an amended or supplemental Form S-3 or prospectus, or until the Seller is advised in writing by AMC that the use of the prospectus may be resumed:

(a) any request, following effectiveness of the Form S-3 under the Securities Act, by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority, for amendments or supplements to the Form S-3 or the prospectus, or for additional information;

(b) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Form S-3 or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus or the initiation or threat of any proceedings for that purpose;

(c) the receipt by AMC of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Consideration Shares included in the Form S-3 for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose;

(d) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition or any information becoming known to AMC that requires the making of any changes in the Form S-3 or the prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein so that the Form S-3 and the prospectus comply in all material respects with applicable law;

(e) AMC’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Form S-3 or the prospectus is necessary under applicable law.

17.15 The Seller undertakes to provide AMC and any underwriter with all information regarding the Seller and the intended method of distribution of the Consideration Shares that is required to be included in the Form S-3 or the prospectus pursuant to the Securities Act. The Seller undertakes to promptly notify AMC and any underwriter of any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller that may occur at any time while the Form S-3 remains effective and shall promptly provide to AMC and any underwriter in writing the necessary changes to such information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to AMC by the Seller not misleading.

17.16 If the Form S-3 registers exclusively Consideration Shares, then the Seller shall be responsible for all legal and other professional fees incurred by the Seller in connection with the Form S-3, all underwriting commissions and discounts, all transfer taxes and any other costs and expenses of any underwriter not borne by the underwriter. If the Form S-3 registers any securities that are not Consideration Shares, the Seller shall be responsible for all legal and other professional fees incurred by the Seller in connection with the Form S-3, all underwriting commissions and discounts relating to Consideration Shares sold by the Seller thereunder and all transfer taxes relating to Consideration Shares sold by the Seller thereunder.

17.17 The Seller undertakes to execute and deliver a reasonable and customary underwriting agreement in connection with an underwritten offering of the Consideration Shares and to complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, and other documents reasonably required by such underwriting agreement.

17.18 If AMC proposes or is required to register any shares of Class A Common Stock held by Xxxxx to facilitate Wanda’s public sale of such shares, AMC undertakes to give the Seller prompt written notice of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of the Seller, subject to Schedule 4 and subject to clause 17.24, made within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any such written notice (which request shall specify the maximum number of Consideration Shares intended to be disposed of by the Seller and the intended method of distribution thereof), AMC, subject to the terms of this Agreement, shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Consideration Shares to be included in the registration statement with the securities that AMC proposes or is required to register on behalf of Xxxxx to permit the sale or other disposition by the

Seller of the Consideration Shares in accordance with the intended method of distribution of the Xxxxx shares of Class A Common Stock to be so registered. If any requested registration made pursuant to this clause 17.18 involves an underwritten offering and the underwriters of such offering shall advise AMC that in their view, the number of securities to be included in such registration by the Seller and Xxxxx exceeds the largest number that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering, AMC shall use reasonable best efforts to include in such registration such shares on the basis set out in clause 17.24.

17.19 If AMC proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to (i) registrations on such form or similar form(s) solely for registration of securities in connection with an employee benefit plan or dividend reinvestment plan or (ii) the Form S-3) on a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 or an equivalent general registration form then in effect, whether or not for its own account, AMC undertakes to give the Seller prompt written notice of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of the Seller, subject to Schedule 4 and subject to clause 17.25, made within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any such written notice (which request shall specify the maximum number of Consideration Shares intended to be disposed of by the Seller and the intended method of distribution thereof), AMC, subject to the terms of this Agreement, shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Consideration Shares to be included in the registration statement with the securities that AMC proposes to register to permit the sale or other disposition by the Seller of the Consideration Shares in accordance with the intended method of distribution by the Company of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be so registered. If any requested registration made pursuant to this clause 17.19 involves an underwritten offering and the underwriters of such offering shall advise AMC that in their view, the number of securities to be included in such registration by the Seller and AMC exceeds the largest number that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering, AMC shall use reasonable best efforts to include in such registration such shares on the basis set out in clause 17.24. No registration of Consideration Shares effected under this clause 17.19 shall relieve AMC of its obligations to register Consideration Shares on Form S-3 pursuant to clause 17.10.

17.20 If, at any time after giving written notice pursuant to clause 17.18 or 17.19 of its intention to register any equity securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, AMC shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such equity securities, AMC undertakes to give the Seller written notice of such determination and (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Consideration Shares in connection with such abandoned registration and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay such registration of its equity securities, shall be permitted to delay the registration of such Consideration Shares for the same period as the delay in registering such other equity securities.

17.21 The Seller shall have the right to withdraw its request pursuant to clause 17.18 or 17.19 for inclusion of Consideration Shares in any registration statement by giving written notice to AMC of its request to withdraw. Such request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of the execution of the underwriting agreement or the execution of the custody

agreement with respect to such registration. Such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, the Seller shall no longer have any right to include Consideration Shares in the registration as to which such withdrawal was made.

17.22 The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless AMC and its affiliates from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by or relating to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus relating to the Consideration Shares, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon information furnished in writing to AMC by the Seller expressly for use therein or caused by or relating to the use of any registration statement or prospectus if AMC had notified the Seller to discontinue such use or had previously provided an amended or supplemented prospectus to the Seller and such amended or supplemented prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses.

17.23 The parties acknowledge and agree that on any offering of shares in AMC the parties shall have the following appointment rights (provided always that all such underwriters appointed shall be banks of international repute):

(a) on an offering by the Seller of its Consideration Shares:

(i) the Seller shall be entitled to appoint the lead right bookrunner for the offering; and

(ii) AMC shall be entitled to propose two (2) candidates to the Seller to act as lead left bookrunner, and the Seller shall be obliged to select one (1) such candidate to act as the lead left underwriter for the offering;

(b) on an offering by AMC in which the Seller participates:

(i) the Seller shall be entitled to appoint the lead right bookrunner for the offering; and

(ii) AMC shall be entitled to appoint the lead left bookrunner for the offering; and

(c) on an offering by Xxxxx in which the Seller seeks to participate, the Seller shall be entitled to appoint a co-manager.

17.24 The parties acknowledge and agree that on any offering of AMC shares in accordance with the provisions of clauses 17.10 to 17.21, the rights to participate in the offering shall be as follows:

(a) on an offering by the Seller of its Consideration Shares initiated by the Seller, AMC shall procure that the Seller shall be entitled to include in such offering that number of Consideration Shares as it determines in priority to AMC or Xxxxx, notwithstanding any other agreement or arrangement AMC may have with Xxxxx;

(b) on an offering by Xxxxx of its shares, initiated by Xxxxx, where the Seller also wishes to sell Consideration Shares in circumstances where the relevant underwriters determine that there is insufficient market demand to sell all such shares proposed to be sold, (notwithstanding any other agreement or arrangement AMC may have with Xxxxx) AMC shall procure that the shares to be sold by Xxxxx and the Seller in the offering shall be sold pro rata according to the number of shares then held by Xxxxx and the Seller, provided that if following such pro rata allocation the shares to be sold by either Xxxxx or the Seller are sold in their entirety and there remains any market demand for more shares to be sold in the offering, the party subject to a cut-back as a result of such pro rata allocation may fulfill such remaining demand;

(c) on an offering initiated by AMC in which Xxxxx does not seek to participate, and in which the Seller wishes to participate in circumstances where the relevant underwriters determine that there is insufficient market demand for all such shares to be issued and sold, the number of primary shares to be issued and the number of Consideration Shares to be sold shall be sold pro rata according to the number of shares proposed to be issued by AMC and the number of shares proposed to be sold by the Seller, provided that if following such pro rata allocation the shares to be sold by either AMC or the Seller are sold in their entirety and there remains any market demand for more shares to be sold in the offering, the party subject to a cut-back as a result of such pro rata allocation may fulfill such remaining demand; and

(d) on an offering initiated by AMC in which both Xxxxx and the Seller wish to participate in circumstances where the relevant underwriters determine that there is insufficient market demand for all such shares to be issued and sold:

(i) AMC shall be entitled to sell that number of shares it proposed to issue pursuant to the primary offering; and

(ii) thereafter, subject to there being sufficient market demand, notwithstanding any other agreement or arrangement AMC may have with Xxxxx, AMC shall procure that Xxxxx and the Seller shall be entitled to sell that number of shares pro rata according to the number of shares then held by Xxxxx and the Seller, provided that if following such pro rata allocation the shares to be sold by either Xxxxx or the Seller are sold in their entirety and there remains any market demand for more shares to be sold in the offering, the party subject to a cut-back as a result of such pro rata allocation may fulfill such remaining demand.

17.25 AMC acknowledges, agrees and undertakes to the Seller that if AMC announces any primary offering of equity securities for its own account ninety (90) days or less prior to the expiry of the First Lock-Up or (as the case may be) the expiry of the Second Lock-Up, the Seller shall be entitled to exercise its rights under clauses 17.19 to 17.21 in respect of: (a) if such entitlement is triggered prior to the First Lock-Up, fifty (50) per cent of the Consideration Shares; and (b) if such entitlement is triggered after the First Lock-Up but prior to the Second Lock-Up, one hundred (100) per cent of the Consideration Shares then held by the Seller, and on terms that, where the relevant underwriters determine that there is insufficient market demand for all AMC shares proposed to be issued and included in the offering and all Consideration Shares proposed to be sold by the Seller and included in the offering, the number of primary shares to be issued and the number of Consideration Shares to be sold shall be sold pro rata according to the number of shares proposed to be issued by AMC and the number of shares proposed to be sold by the Seller, provided that if following such pro rata allocation the shares to be sold by either AMC or the Seller are sold in their entirety and there remains any market demand for more shares to be sold in the offering, the party subject to a cut-back as a result of such pro rata allocation may fulfill such remaining demand (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in these circumstances the Seller shall be released from the lock-up provisions of Schedule 4 in respect of the applicable number of Consideration Shares). If the Seller exercises its right to include any Consideration Shares in such equity offering, the Seller agrees and acknowledges that any other Consideration Shares held by the Seller which are not subject at the relevant time to lock-up arrangements pursuant to Schedule 4 and which are not sold into the offering shall, if so required by the underwriter, be made subject to lock-up arrangements on terms equivalent (as to duration and scope) to those terms imposed on each other shareholder participating in such offering, provided in any event that such lock-up arrangements may not be imposed for a term greater than one hundred and eighty (180) days. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Seller does not exercise its right to include any Consideration Shares in such equity offering, the Seller shall not be subject to any additional lock-up arrangements following completion of such equity offering.

17.26 The parties acknowledge and agree that if AMC issues equity or stock as consideration payable to a third party seller in connection with any acquisition, the Seller shall not be entitled to exercise its rights under clauses 17.19 to 17.21 or clause 17.25 to sell Consideration Shares as part of such issue of equity by AMC.

17.27 AMC and the Seller undertake, where reasonably practicable, to consult with each other in relation to the proposed exercise of their rights under this clause 17 and AMC will use reasonable best efforts to seek to ensure that Xxxxx consults both AMC and the Seller in connection with the proposed exercise of its rights under the registration rights agreement dated 23 December 2013, in each case with a view to ensuring an orderly market in AMC shares and orderly sell downs of AMC shares.

18. FURTHER ASSURANCES

Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller acknowledges that AMC has not made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any memoranda, charts, summaries, presentations, or schedules heretofore made available by AMC to the Seller or any other information which is not included in this Agreement. The Seller further acknowledges and agrees that any cost estimates, forecasts, projections, or other predictions or forward-looking information that may have been provided to the Seller were prepared for internal planning purposes only and are not representations or warranties of AMC, and no assurances may be given that any estimated, forecasted, projected, or predicted results will be achieved;

(b) the Seller is not a “U.S. person” as that term is used in Regulation S of the Securities Act and the Consideration Shares to be received by the Seller will be acquired for investment for the Seller’s own account, not as a nominee or agent for any unrelated third party, and, except as contemplated by the Agreement, not with a view to the resale or distribution (as such term is defined in the Securities Act) of any part thereof to any U.S. person or to any unrelated third party, and, except as contemplated by the Agreement, the Seller has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same to any unrelated third party;

(c) the Seller understands that the Consideration Shares it is acquiring are characterized as “restricted securities” under the United States securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from AMC in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be resold without registration or an applicable exemption under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, except in certain limited circumstances. The Seller understands that the Consideration Shares will bear all necessary and appropriate legends reflecting such limitations and acknowledging the resale restrictions of this Agreement. The Seller warrants that it is familiar with Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, as presently in effect,

and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby. The Seller agrees that the Consideration Shares may not be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred or disposed of except pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act. The Seller will not engage in any hedging transactions with respect to AMC common stock except in compliance with all applicable securities laws; and

(d) AMC shall not be required and may refuse to register the transfer of any Consideration Shares not made in accordance with this Agreement and this Schedule 4.

(b) for a period of twelve (12) months from Completion, the Seller shall not dispose of in excess of fifty (50) per cent of the Consideration Shares (the “Second Lock-Up”).

“Disposal” includes (i) any deposit of Consideration Shares into a voting trust or entering into a voting agreement or providing a proxy (except pursuant to a solicitation by AMC), consent, or power of attorney with respect to the Consideration Shares, and (ii) any offer, sale, contract to sell, grant or sale of options over, purchase of any option or contract to sell, transfer, charge, pledge, grant of any right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, lend, or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Consideration Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Consideration Shares or the entry into of any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Consideration Shares, whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of Consideration Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or any other disposal or agreement to dispose of any Consideration Shares or any announcement or other publication of the intention to do any of the foregoing and “dispose” shall be construed accordingly.

(a) any Disposal notified in writing in advance to AMC and to which AMC gives its prior consent in writing in its sole discretion;

3.2 (Intra-Group Transfers) The restrictions contained in paragraph 2 above shall not prevent any title to or interest in any Consideration Shares being disposed of by the Seller to its ultimate holding company, fund or similar entity or any of its subsidiaries or subsidiary undertakings, or to any subsidiary or subsidiary undertaking of its ultimate holding company, fund or similar entity provided that:

(a) such transferee is not a “U.S. person” as such term is used in Regulation S under the Securities Act and such transfer is otherwise in compliance with all applicable securities laws;

(b) prior to the making of any Disposal pursuant to this paragraph 3.2, the transferee shall have agreed to be bound by the provisions of clauses 17.10 to 17.22 and the restrictions of this Schedule 4 as if it were the transferor, by the execution and delivery to AMC of a deed of adherence in the form set out in Part B of this Schedule 4; and

(a) after Completion, by the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group (or its respective directors or employees or agents or successors in title or any of its Affiliates) (save that this exclusion shall not apply where such act, omission or transaction was carried out or effected by the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group (or its respective directors or employees or agents or successors in title or any of its Affiliates) pursuant to a legally binding commitment of the Target Group created on or before Completion or at the written direction or written request of the Management Shareholders); or

3.14 The parties agree that the Purchaser’s sole right of recovery (if any) in excess of the cap on liability specified in clause 3.3 in respect of any and all Claims shall be under the Warranty & Indemnity Insurance (save in the case of fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment) and that in accordance with the terms of

However, subject to clause 3.14, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Management Shareholders shall (save in the case of fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment) not be required (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to make a payment by way of discharge of their liability for any Losses suffered or incurred by any of the Insured Parties arising as a result of a breach by the Management Shareholders of any of the Warranties in excess of the amount set out in clause 3.3, whether as a result of any of the Insured Parties being unable to recover any such losses from the Warranty & Indemnity Insurers or otherwise.

3.17 Where any of the Warranties:

(a) set out in paragraphs 17 and 18 of Schedule 1 (excluding paragraph 18.5 of Schedule 1) requires it to be established whether any act, omission or other matter or thing is material (or such other cognate expressions or concepts) in relation to the Properties or the business carried out at the Properties, including as to the impact or effect of any such act, omission or other matter or thing on the title to or use or enjoyment of the Properties or the business carried out at the Properties, such Warranties shall be construed on the basis that the materiality of such impact or effect as aforesaid shall be considered separately in relation to each of:

(i) any individual Property affected and the business carried out at such Property alone; and

(ii) all or any number of the Properties and the businesses carried out at the Properties;

(b) other than those set out in paragraphs 3, 4, 8, 9 (excluding 9.10), 12, 13.5, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of Schedule 1, requires it to be established whether any act, omission or other matter or thing is material, then, in the absence of any express statement to the contrary, “material” shall mean any act, omission or other matter or thing that is a liability, a reduction in the value of an asset, a cost or loss of revenue of £500,000 or more.

as security for the obligations owed by any member of the Purchaser Group or any Target Company to such person, and any such beneficiary of security may assign all or any of those rights for the purpose of enforcing such security assignment or charge; or

4.3 If an assignment is made in accordance with this clause 4, the liabilities of the Management Shareholders to the Purchaser under this Deed shall be no greater than such liabilities would have been if the assignment had not occurred.

5. WARRANTY & INDEMNITY INSURANCE

5.1 The Purchaser undertakes to ensure that, save in the case of fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment by the Management Shareholders, the Warranty & Indemnity Insurance includes an express and irrevocable waiver of any rights of subrogation which the Warranty & Indemnity Insurers may otherwise have against the Management Shareholders, the Seller, any Related Person of the Management Shareholders or the Seller or any Covered Person.

“Loss” includes absence, failure to obtain, non-existence, non-availability, reduction, modification, loss, counteraction, nullification, utilisation, disallowance, withdrawal or clawback for whatever reason;

“Management Warranty Deed” has the meaning given in the Share Purchase Agreement;

“Overprovision” means the amount by which any provision for tax (other than deferred tax) in the Locked-Box Accounts is overstated, except where that overstatement arises due to: (a) a change in law; or (b) a change in the accounting bases on which the Company or any Subsidiary values its assets; or (c) a voluntary act or omission of the Purchaser, that, in each case, occurs after Completion;

“Purchaser’s Relief” means (a) any Relief arising in connection with any Event occurring after the Locked-Box Date; and (b) any Relief, whenever arising, of the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group other than the Company;

“Relief” includes any loss, relief, allowance, credit, exemption or set off for Taxation or any deduction in computing income, profits or gains for the purposes of Taxation and any right to a repayment of Taxation or to a payment in respect of Taxation;

“Saving” means the reduction or elimination of any liability of the Company or any Subsidiary to make an actual payment of corporation tax (at a time when the Company or Subsidiary is a member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group) for which the Management Shareholders would not have been liable under clause 2, by the use of any Relief arising wholly as a result of a Liability for Taxation for which the Management Shareholders have made a payment under clause 2 of this Management Tax Covenant;

“Seller” has the meaning given in the Share Purchase Agreement;

option, or other right to acquire the security, occurred on or before Completion;

2.1.4 Liability for Taxation arising under any disguised remuneration rules which attach to payments or loans made to, any assets made available or transferred to, or any assets earmarked (however informally) for the benefit of any employee or former employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for the benefit of any associated person, by an employee benefit trust or another third party where the arrangement giving rise to the charge was entered into at a time when the third party was acting on the instructions of, or for the benefit of the Company, the Seller or an associate of either; and

2.2 This Management Tax Covenant, and the liability of the Management Shareholders to make any payments under or in connection with this Management Tax Covenant, is conditional in all respects upon Completion occurring under the Share Purchase Agreement.

3. PAYMENT DATE AND INTEREST

3.1 Payment by the Management Shareholders in respect of any liability under this Management Tax Covenant must be made in cleared and immediately available funds on:

3.1.1 in the case of a Liability for Taxation that involves an actual payment of or in respect of Taxation, the later of ten (10) Business Days before the due date for payment and five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Purchaser serves notice on the Management Shareholders requesting payment; or

3.1.2 in the case of the loss of a right to repayment of Taxation or a liability under clause 2.1.5, seven (7) Business Days following the date on which the Purchaser serves notice on the Management Shareholders requesting payment; or

3.1.3 in a case that involves the loss of a Relief (other than a right to repayment of Taxation), the later of seven (7) Business Days after the date on which the Purchaser serves notice on the Management Shareholders requesting payment and the last date on which the Taxation is or would have been required to be paid to the relevant Taxation Authority in respect of the earlier of:

(a) the period in which the Loss of the Relief gives rise to an actual liability to pay Taxation; or

(b) the period in which the Loss of the Relief occurs (assuming for this purpose that the Company had sufficient profits or was otherwise in a position to use the Relief); or

3.1.4 in a case that falls within (c) of the definition of Liability for Taxation, the date on which the Taxation saved by the Company or the relevant Subsidiary is or would have been required to be paid to the relevant Taxation Authority.

3.2 If the Liability for Taxation is a liability to corporation tax payable by instalments under the Corporation Tax (Instalment Payments) Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/3175) (or otherwise):

3.2.1 the notice served by the Purchaser on the Management Shareholders under clause 3.1 shall state the amount of the liability due for payment on each instalment date for the accounting period in which the Liability for Taxation arises; and

3.2.2 the due dates for payment of the Taxation in clause 3.1.1 to clause 3.1.4 shall be the due dates for payment of each of the instalments.

4. EXCLUSIONS

4.1 The covenant contained in clause 2 above shall not cover any Liability for Taxation to the extent that:

4.1.1 provision or reserve (other than a provision for deferred tax) for the liability has been taken into account in preparing, or is made or reflected in the Locked-Box Accounts; or

4.1.2 the Liability for Taxation was paid on or before the Locked-Box Date and the Locked-Box Accounts reflected that payment; or

4.1.3 it arises as a result of a transaction in the ordinary course of business of the Company or any Subsidiary between the Locked-Box Date and Completion; or

4.1.4 it arises or is increased only as a result of any change in the law or rates of Taxation coming into force after Completion, or the withdrawal of any extra-statutory concession previously made by a Taxation Authority (whether or not the change is retrospective in whole or in part); or

4.1.5 it would not have arisen but for a change in accounting policies (including a change in accounting reference date) or the accounting bases on which the Company or any Subsidiary values its assets after Completion in each case other than a change made to comply with any applicable generally accepted accounting standard or legal requirement in force at the date of Completion; or

4.1.6 the Purchaser is compensated for the Liability for Taxation under any provision of the Share Purchase Agreement or the Management Warranty Deed; or

4.1.7 a Relief that has arisen from the circumstances giving rise to the relevant Taxation Liability (other than a Purchaser’s Relief) is available to the Company or any Subsidiary and such Relief can actually be used to mitigate the relevant Taxation Liability;

4.1.8 the Liability for Tax is made good or the Purchaser or the Company is compensated for it at no expense to the Purchaser or the Company;

4.1.9 the Liability for Tax arises or is increased because the Purchaser fails to comply with, or procure the compliance of, the Company and the Subsidiaries with their obligations under this Management Tax Covenant;

4.1.10 the Liability for Tax would not have arisen, or would have been reduced or eliminated, but for a failure or omission, after Completion, by or on behalf of the Company or the Purchaser to make any valid claim, election, surrender or disclaimer or to give any notice or consent or to do any other thing under any enactment or regulation relating to Tax the making, giving or doing of which was validly taken into account in computing the provision for Tax in the Locked-Box Accounts or expressly set out within the Disclosure Letter;

4.1.11 the Liability for Tax would not have arisen, or would have been reduced or eliminated, but for any claim, disclaimer or election made after Completion by the Purchaser or the Company including, without limitation, a disclaimer of, or a revision to, a claim for capital allowances claimed before Completion or assumed to be claimed in preparing the Locked-Box Accounts (provided that such assumption is expressly stated within the Locked Box Accounts or the Disclosure Letter); or

4.1.12 it would not have arisen but for a voluntary act, transaction or omission of the Company or any Subsidiary or the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group outside the ordinary course of business after Completion and which the Purchaser was aware, or ought reasonably to have been aware, would give rise to the Liability for Taxation or other liability in question PROVIDED THAT the following shall not be considered to be voluntary acts, transactions or omissions of the Purchaser:

(a) any act carried out pursuant to a legally binding obligation entered into by any member of the Target Group on or before Completion (including pursuant to this Management Tax Covenant or the Share Purchase Agreement) or required to be taken by the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Management Tax Covenant, the Share Purchase Agreement or the Management Warranty Deed; or

(b) an act which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is required to make by any legislation (whether related to Tax or otherwise); or

(c) any disclosure required by law to a Tax Authority or other government, state, municipal, local or federal regulatory authority; or

(d) the payment of stamp duty on any document, or the bringing into any jurisdiction of any document, entered into on or prior to Completion

which is required in order for it to be produced as evidence in court or to prove or obtain registration of the title of the Company to any asset owned on Completion.

6.1.1 the amount of any Overprovision shall first be set off against any payment then due from the Management Shareholders under this Management Tax Covenant;

6.1.2 to the extent that there is an excess, a refund shall be made to the Management Shareholders of any previous payment or payments made by the Management Shareholders under this Management Tax Covenant or in respect of a breach of any of the Tax Warranties (and not previously refunded under this Management Tax Covenant) up to the amount of that excess; and

6.1.3 to the extent that the excess referred to in clause 6.1.1 is not exhausted, the remainder of that excess will be carried forward and set off against any future payment or payments that become due from the Management Shareholders under this Management Tax Covenant or for breach of the Tax Warranties.

if necessary and as appropriate, amend the original determination (at the expense of the party requesting the review, or where a payment becomes due under this clause 6.2, at the expense of the party required to make that payment) and an adjusting payment equal to the amount of any disparity between the original and revised determinations shall be made by or to the Management Shareholders as soon as reasonably practicable.

7. SAVINGS

7.1 If, on or before the date falling twelve (12) months from the Completion Date, the Management Shareholders, having made a payment to the Purchaser under this Management Tax Covenant, believe that a Saving has arisen, the Management Shareholders shall inform the Purchaser and if the Company’s or Subsidiary’s auditors for the time being determine (at the request and expense of the Management Shareholders) that a Saving has arisen, the Purchaser shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, repay to the Management Shareholders, after deduction of any amounts then due by the Management Shareholders, the lesser of:

7.1.1 the amount of the Saving (as determined by the auditors) less any costs incurred by the Purchaser, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary; and

8.1.1 notify the Management Shareholders of their entitlement as soon as reasonably practicable; and

8.1.2 if required by the Management Shareholders and, subject to the Purchaser and the Company being indemnified by the Management Shareholders against any

Taxation that may be suffered on receipt of that amount and any costs and expenses incurred in recovering that amount, take, or procure that the Company or the relevant Subsidiary takes, all reasonable steps to enforce that recovery against the person in question (keeping the Management Shareholders fully informed of the progress of any action taken).

8.2 No member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group shall be obliged under this clause 8 to take any steps requested by the Management Shareholders which it reasonably considers would materially prejudice the commercial or Tax position of any member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group.

8.3 If the Purchaser, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary recovers any amount referred to in clause 8.1, the Purchaser shall account to the Management Shareholders for the lesser of:

8.3.1 any amount recovered (including any related interest or related repayment supplement) less any Taxation suffered in respect of that amount and any costs and expenses incurred in recovering that amount (except to the extent that amount has already been made good by the Management Shareholders under clause 8.1.2); and

8.4 For the avoidance of doubt, where the Warranty & Indemnity Insurance allows or permits the insurer to give the Purchaser instructions relating to any third party recovery and such instructions conflict with those of the Management Sellers, the insurers’ instructions shall prevail and acting in accordance with those instructions shall not be a voluntary act for the purposes of clause 4.1.12.

9.7 For the avoidance of doubt, where the Warranty & Indemnity Insurance allows or permits the insurer to give the Purchaser instructions relating to document that would fall within this clause 9, and such instructions conflict with those of the Management Sellers, the insurers’ instructions shall prevail and acting in accordance with those instructions shall not be a voluntary act for the purposes of clause 4.1.12.

10.1.2 any Taxation (whether before, on or after Completion) for which the Seller or the Management Shareholders or any director or former director of any member of the Seller’s Group (other than a person who was a director of the Company after Completion) is or becomes liable as a result of any member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group failing to discharge Tax properly assessed upon it; or

10.1.3 the Company, a Subsidiary or any member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group ceasing to be resident in its jurisdiction of incorporation for Tax purposes,

PROVIDED THAT in each case the Management Shareholders or the Seller have not recovered such tax liability under any relevant statutory provisions or from any third party.

11.2 If any sum payable by the Management Shareholders to the Purchaser under the Management Tax Covenant is subject to Taxation in the hands of the Purchaser, the Management Shareholders shall pay any additional amount required to ensure that the net amount received by the Purchaser shall be the amount that the Purchaser would have received if the payment was not subject to Taxation.

11.3 If the Purchaser assigns the benefit of this Management Tax Covenant or the Share Purchase Agreement, the Management Shareholders shall not be liable under this clause 11, except to the extent that the Management Shareholders would have been so liable had no assignment occurred.
