Ladies and Gentlemen:

Cinemark USA, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Securities”) to the several initial purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), for which Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays Capital”) is acting as representative (the “Representative”). In the event only one Initial Purchaser is listed in Schedule I hereto, any references to the “Initial Purchasers” shall be deemed to refer to the sole Initial Purchaser in the singular form listed in such Schedule I.

The Securities will be issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of May 24, 2013 (as amended or supplemented to the date hereof, the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule II hereto (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), and the Supplemental Indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The Securities will be guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the Guarantors (the “Guarantees”).

The Company has previously issued $530,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Existing Securities”) under the Base Indenture. The Securities constitute an offering of “Additional Notes” (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) under the Base Indenture. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum (each as defined below), the Securities will have terms identical to the Existing Securities and will be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the Indenture, except that the Securities will have separate CUSIP and ISIN numbers from that of the Existing Securities until they are registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below).


References to the Indenture herein shall include, with respect to the Guarantors, the Guarantees included therein.

This is to confirm the agreement among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers concerning the offer, issue and sale of the Securities.

The Securities will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon an exemption therefrom.

Holders of the Securities (including the Initial Purchasers and their direct and indirect transferees) will be entitled to the benefits of an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will agree, among other things, to file with the Commission (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) covering the issuance of a series of the Company’s debt securities identical in all respects to the Securities except that such debt securities will not be subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Securities”) and guarantees of the Guarantors of such Exchange Securities (the “Exchange Guarantees”) and the offer to exchange such Exchange Securities and Exchange Guarantees for the Securities and Guarantees (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) under certain circumstances described therein, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement” and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”), and, in each case, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statements to be declared effective within the time periods specified therein.

This Agreement, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents”.

loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum, or in any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company through the Representative by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 7(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Company or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have to any Initial Purchaser or to any affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person of that Initial Purchaser.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of the Guarantors, their respective officers and employees, each of their respective directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning 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, the Guarantors or any such director, officer 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 the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, 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 such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company through the Representative by or on behalf of that Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein as specified in Section 7(e), and shall reimburse the Company, the Guarantors and any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, the Guarantors or any such director, officer 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 which any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have to the Company, any Guarantor or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 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 7, 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 paragraph (a) or (b) above 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

 

23


under paragraph (a) or (b) above. 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 7 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 Initial Purchasers shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Initial Purchasers and their respective officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Initial Purchasers against the Company or any of the Guarantors under this Section 7 if, in the reasonable judgment of such Initial Purchaser and their counsel, it is advisable for such Initial Purchaser and such officers, employees and controlling persons to be jointly represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) shall be paid by the Company and the Guarantors. 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 statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any 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 non-appealable judgment of 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.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Sections 7(a) or (b) 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 Guarantors on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers on the other, from the offering of the Securities 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 Guarantors on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions which 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 Guarantors on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers 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 Securities purchased under this

 

24


Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Securities under this Agreement. 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 and the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each of the Guarantors agrees with the Initial Purchasers that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7 were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which 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 7 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(d), 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 7(d), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7(d) are several in proportion to their respective obligations and not joint.

(e) The Initial Purchasers severally confirm and the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that the statements in the third paragraph, the first sentence of the eighth paragraph and the ninth paragraph under “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Initial Purchasers furnished in writing to the Company through the Representative by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum.

SECTION 8. Defaulting Initial Purchasers. If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated to purchase the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities set opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Securities on the Closing Date if the aggregate principal amount of the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9.09% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and any remaining non-defaulting Initial

 

25


Purchaser shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities which it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date. If the remaining Initial Purchasers or other purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers do not elect to purchase the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company and the Guarantors, except that the Company and each of the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 4 and 10. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto who, pursuant to this Section 8, purchases Securities which a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company and the Guarantors for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting or withdrawing Initial Purchaser, either the Representative or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement.

SECTION 9. Termination. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be terminated by the Initial Purchasers by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 5(k), 5(l) or 5(m) shall have occurred or if the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

SECTION 10. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If (a) the Company or the Guarantors shall fail to tender the Securities or the Guarantees for delivery to the Initial Purchasers by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company or any of the Guarantors to perform any agreement on its part to be performed, or because any other condition of the Initial Purchasers’ obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Company or any of the Guarantors is not fulfilled or (b) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement (including the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9), the Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay the full amount thereof to the Initial Purchasers. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 by reason of the default of one or more Initial Purchasers, neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Initial Purchaser on account of any expenses.

 

26

SECTION 13. Survival. The respective indemnities, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and each of the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them.

 

27


SECTION 14. Duties. The Company and each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering, sale of the Securities or any other services the Initial Purchasers 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 Initial Purchasers: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company, the Guarantors and any other person, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, exists; (ii) the Initial Purchasers are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to the Company or any of the Guarantors, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the offering price of the Securities, and any relationship between the Company or any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Initial Purchasers may have to the Company or any of the Guarantors shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors.
