     (c) The Underwriter shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Stockholders, their respective directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such Selling Stockholders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company, such Selling Stockholders or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information specified in Section 10(f), and shall reimburse the Company and any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses

reasonably incurred by the Company, such Selling Stockholder or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company, such Selling Stockholder or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.

     (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 10 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 10 if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any findings of fact or admissions of fault or culpability as to the indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying

party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

     (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriter, on the other, from the offering of the Stock or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Stock purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the shares of Stock purchased under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriter, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 10(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(e), (i) the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Stock underwritten by it and distributed to the public was offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission; (ii) no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total net proceeds from the offering of the shares of the Stock purchased under this Agreement received by such Selling Stockholder and (iii) the provisions herein shall, as between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, be subject to the indemnity and contribution provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the

Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     (f) The Underwriter confirms and the Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the statements regarding delivery of shares by the Underwriter set forth on the cover page of, and the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriter appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in, the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information concerning the Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show.

     SECTION 11. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriter hereunder may be terminated by the Underwriter by notice given to and received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders prior to delivery of and payment for the Stock if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 9(l), 9(m) or 9(n), shall have occurred or if the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

     SECTION 12. Reimbursement of Underwriter’s Expenses. If (a) the Selling Stockholders shall fail to tender the Stock for delivery to the Underwriter for any reason or (b) the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Selling Stockholders will reimburse the Underwriter for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Stock, and upon demand the Selling Stockholders shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriter; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Stock as a result of a material breach by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Stock, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriter.

     SECTION 13. Research Analyst Independence. The Company and each of the Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the Underwriter’s research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from its investment banking division and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that the Underwriter’s research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of its investment banking division. The Company and each of the Selling Stockholders hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company or the Selling Stockholders may have against the Underwriter with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by its independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by the Underwriter’s investment banking division. The Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge that the Underwriter is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions

in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     SECTION 14. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that in connection with this offering, sale of the Stock or any other services the Underwriter may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriter: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, exists; (ii) the Underwriter is not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to either the Company or the Selling Stockholders, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Stock, and such relationship between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriter may have to the Company or Selling Stockholders shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriter and its affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Stockholders. The Company and the Selling Stockholders hereby waive any claims that the Company or the Selling Stockholders may have against the Underwriter with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.

     SECTION 15. Notices, Etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

     (a) if to the Underwriter, shall be delivered or sent by mail to Barclays Capital Inc. at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Syndicate Registration, with a copy, in the case of any notice pursuant to Section 10(d), to the Office of the General Counsel, Barclays Capital Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, with a copy to Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, attention of Kenneth Wallach;

     SECTION 16. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriter, the Company, the Selling Stockholders and their respective personal representatives and successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that (A) the

EXHIBIT A

Legal Opinion of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, L.L.P.

1.		The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, the jurisdiction of its organization. Each subsidiary identified on a schedule to the opinion (the “Scheduled Subsidiaries”) is validly existing as a corporation or other business organization, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each of the Company and the Scheduled Subsidiaries is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation or other business organization, as applicable, in each jurisdiction listed on a schedule to the opinion. Each of the Company and the Scheduled Subsidiaries has all entity power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and conduct the businesses in which it is engaged, in each case as described in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus.
2.		All of the issued and outstanding capital stock or membership interests of each Scheduled Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and, to our knowledge, except as listed on a schedule to the opinion, are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of all material liens, encumbrances or claims, except (A) as contemplated by the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2006, among the Company, Cinemark, Inc., CNMK Holding, Inc., Cinemark USA, Inc., the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties to the Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2007, and (B) as described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
3.		The shares of Stock to be delivered by the Selling Stockholders to the Underwriter on the date hereof have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. Except as described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any of the shares of Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any of agreements listed in a schedule to this opinion letter (the “Reviewed Agreements”) or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
4.		The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
5.		The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement does not, (A) result in a violation of any law, rule or regulation that is an Included Law (as defined below), except for such violations as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse

Effect, (B) result in a breach or default under any of the Reviewed Agreements, (C) result in a violation of any judgment, decree or order listed in a schedule to this opinion letter (the “Reviewed Orders”), or (D) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any of the charter documents of the Scheduled Subsidiaries.

6.		No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or filing of or with any court or governmental agency or body is required under any Included Law for the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, except for (A) such as may be required under any foreign securities laws or state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Stock by the Underwriter, as to which we express no opinion, (B) such as have been made or obtained under the Securities Act, (C) the clearance of the offering by FINRA and (D) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings or registrations as have been obtained or made.
7.		The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act, as of May 6, 2009, the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) on                     , 2009, and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission and, to our knowledge, no proceedings for that purpose are pending or threatened by the Commission.
8.		To our knowledge, there are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement by the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations which have not been described or filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.
9.		The statements in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Capital Stock” and “Material U.S. Federal Income and Estate Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holders,” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of federal or state statutes, rules and regulations that constitute a part of the Included Laws that are described under such captions, legal conclusions with respect thereto or documents or proceedings referred to therein, constitute fair and accurate summaries thereof in all material respects.
10.		Except for the Registration Rights Agreement or as otherwise described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, to our knowledge, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned by such person or to require the Company to include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act.

11.

The Company is not an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or statistical information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are of a wholly or partially non-legal character, except as and to the extent expressly set forth in the first sentence of paragraph 2 of this letter and paragraph 9 of this letter, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements.

     However, in the course of our acting as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (excluding the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus), we have reviewed each such document and have participated in conferences and telephone conversations with representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company, representatives of the Underwriter and representatives of the Underwriter’s counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of such documents and related matters were discussed.

     Based on our participation in such conferences and conversations, our review of the documents described above, our understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws and the experience we have gained in our practice thereunder, we advise you that: (a) each of the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date, and the Prospectus, as of its date, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, except that we express no view as to the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial and statistical data contained therein or omitted therefrom; and (b) no information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement, as of December 3, 2009, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time (which you have informed us is the time of the first sale of the Stock by the Underwriter), when considered together with the price to the public and underwriting discount, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; or (iii) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that in the case of each of clauses (b)(i)-(iii) above, we do not express any view as to the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial and statistical data contained therein or omitted therefrom.

     The opinion letter of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, L.L.P. will be limited to matters governed by the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York, the laws of the State of Texas and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Included Laws”). Such counsel may make such assumptions, qualification,

exceptions and limitations as are standard in such opinions or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Underwriter’s counsel.

EXHIBIT B

Legal Opinion of Michael Cavalier General Counsel

(i)		Each of the Company and its significant U.S. subsidiaries have been duly organized and are validly existing as corporations or other business organizations, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization, as applicable, are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing as foreign corporations or other business organizations, as applicable, in each jurisdiction in which their respective ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires such qualification, except where failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and have all power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and conduct the businesses in which they are engaged, except where such would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(ii)		To the best of my knowledge and other than as set forth in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings (whether domestic or foreign) pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the best of my knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.
(iii)		To the best of my knowledge, there are no contracts or other documents which are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement by the Securities Act or by the Rules and Regulations which have not been described or filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.
(iv)		The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement does not, (A) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, pledge or other agreement or instrument known to me to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, (B) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or bylaws of the Company or the charter or bylaws or any joint venture, partnership, limited liability company, shareholders’ or other agreement or organizational document of any of the Company’s subsidiaries, or (C) result in any violation of any statute or any order, rule or regulation known to me of any court or governmental agency or body (whether domestic or foreign) having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties or assets except in the case of clauses (A) and (C), such conflicts, breaches or violations that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(v)		No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or filing of or with any court or governmental agency or body is required under any Included Law for the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, except for (A) such as may be required under any foreign securities laws or state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Stock by the Underwriter, as to which I express no opinion, (B) such as have been made or obtained under the Securities Act, (C) the clearance of the offering by FINRA and (D) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings or registrations as have been obtained or made.
(vi)		Except for the Registration Rights Agreement or as otherwise described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, to my knowledge, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned by such person or to require the Company to include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act.
(vii)		To the best of my knowledge, there is no litigation or governmental or other action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court or before or by any public, regulatory or governmental agency or body pending or threatened or contemplated against, or involving the properties or business of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which is of a character required to be disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus which has not been properly disclosed therein.

     Because the primary purpose of my professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or statistical information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are of a wholly or partially non-legal character, I am not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and I make no representation that I have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements.

     However, in the course of acting as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, I have reviewed each such document and have participated in conferences and telephone conversations with representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company, representatives of the Company’s outside counsel, representatives of the Underwriter and representatives of the Underwriter’s counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of such documents and related matters were discussed.

     Based on my participation in such conferences and conversations, my review of the documents described above, my understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws and the experience I have gained in my practice thereunder, I advise you that: (a) each of the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, and the Prospectus, as of its date, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, except that I express no view as to the financial

statements, financial schedules and other financial and statistical data contained therein or omitted therefrom; and (b) no information has come to my attention that causes me to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement, as of December 3, 2009, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time (which you have informed me is the time of the first sale of the Stock by the Underwriter), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; or (iii) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that in the case of each of clauses (b)(i)-(iii) above, I do not express any view as to the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial and statistical data contained therein or omitted therefrom.

     The opinion letter of Michael Cavalier, Esq. will be limited to matters governed by the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York, the laws of the State of Texas and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Included Laws”). Such counsel may make such assumptions, qualification, exceptions and limitations as are standard in such opinions or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Underwriter’s counsel.

EXHIBIT C

     We have acted as counsel for the selling stockholders specified in Schedule A hereto (the “Selling Stockholders”), in connection with the Underwriting Agreement dated December 3, 2009 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among Cinemark Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), certain stockholders of the Company named in Schedule 1 attached thereto and you, as underwriter (the “Underwriter”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, each of the Selling Stockholders proposes to sell, and you severally propose to purchase, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, specified in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Shares”). This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 9(f) of the Underwriting Agreement.

     We have examined original or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of rendering this opinion.

     Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Underwriting Agreement.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     (a) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of each of the Selling Stockholders.

     (b) Each of the Selling Stockholders has full legal right, power and authority to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder.

     (c) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency under United States federal or New York state law that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations and limited partnerships in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement is required for the performance by each of the Selling Stockholders of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, except such as have been obtained and such as may be required under federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws as to which we express no opinion.

     (d) The execution and delivery by each of the Selling Stockholders of, and the performance of its obligations under, the Underwriting Agreement will not contravene (i) any terms of the organizational documents of such Selling Stockholder, (ii) any terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any of the agreements listed on Schedule B hereto, or (iii) any provision of United States Federal or New York State law that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations and limited partnerships in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, except that we express no opinion as to any federal or state securities law.

     (e) Upon payment for the Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders to the Underwriter as provided in the Underwriting Agreement and the crediting of such Shares on the records of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in the State of New York to a securities

account or securities accounts in the name of the Underwriter (assuming that the Underwriter does not have notice of any adverse claim (as such phrase is defined in Section 8-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”)) to such Shares), (A) DTC shall be a “protected purchaser” of such Shares within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC under Section 8-501 of the UCC, (B) the Underwriter will acquire a security entitlement in respect of such Shares and (C) to the extent governed by Article 8 of the UCC, no action based on any “adverse claim” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) to such Shares may be asserted against the Underwriter; its being understood that for purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that when such payment and crediting occur, (x) such Shares will have been registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee as may be designated by DTC, in each case on the Company’s share registry in accordance with its articles of association and applicable law, (D) DTC will be registered as a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC and (E) appropriate entries to the securities account or accounts in the name of the Underwriter on the records of DTC in the State of New York will have been made pursuant to the UCC.

     We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the federal laws of the United States.
