On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the Forbearance Agreement), a Master Lease Agreement (the Master Lease) and seven amended lease agreements (the Transitional Leases and collectively with the Master Lease, the Leases) with AMC, its affiliate tenants of the Company (AMC and such affiliates, collectively, AMC Tenant), and AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (Guarantor), relating to all 53 properties currently leased to AMC Tenant (the Leased Properties). These agreements restructured the then-existing lease terms for the Leased Properties
in light of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on AMC Tenant's operations. Effective July 1, 2020, the Leased Properties are leased to AMC Tenant pursuant to the following leases:

Master Lease relating to 46 Leased Properties (the Master Lease Properties), and
Seven Transitional Leases relating to seven Leased Properties (the Transitional Properties).

In addition, AMC Tenant and the Company entered into the following related agreements:

Security Agreement granting to the Company a security interest subordinated to AMC's secured credit agreements and indentures in all of AMC Tenant’s property located at the Leased Properties to secure AMC Tenant’s obligations to the Company under the Forbearance Agreement and the Leases,
Guaranty providing a guaranty by Guarantor of AMC Tenant’s obligations to the Company under the Forbearance Agreement and the Leases, and
Capital Improvements Agreement providing a financial mechanism for the Company to provide AMC Tenant with up to $35 million of funds to complete improvements to the Master Lease Properties in exchange for increased annual fixed rent.

The prior leases for the 46 Master Lease Properties were replaced with a single Master Lease. The Company agreed to reduce total annual fixed rent on the 46 Master Lease Properties by approximately $19.4 million to approximately $87.8 million (including approximately $6.8 million of ground rent and the repayment of deferral amounts for the months of April, May and June 2020). The Company agreed to the deferral of all fixed rent due under the prior leases of the Master Lease Properties for the months of April, May and June 2020. This total amount deferred is included in the calculation of the fixed rent under the Master Lease and is amortized over the first 14 years of the Master Lease term.

The Master Lease Properties have been divided into four tranches, with the initial term of each tranche expiring on a different date: June 30, 2034, June 30, 2035, June 30, 2036 and June 30, 2037. The AMC Tenant may exercise up to three 5-year extensions for each tranche. If AMC Tenant elects not to exercise an extension option with respect to a tranche, fixed rent will be reduced by the fair market rental value of Master Lease Properties included in such tranche at that time, determined in accordance with the Master Lease. Upon the expiration of the initial term of each tranche or expiration of any extension option of each tranche and the election by AMC Tenant to further extend the term of such tranche, AMC Tenant may elect to remove up to two Master Lease Properties included in the tranche, which will result in a reduction in the annual fixed rent equal to the fair market rental value of such removed Master Lease Properties at that time, determined in accordance with the Master Lease. AMC Tenant may not remove more than 10 Master Lease Properties in total and not more than three Master Lease Properties per tranche during the entirety of the Master Lease term.

Each lease for the seven Transitional Properties was amended by the parties. The Company agreed to reduce the aggregate annual fixed rent on the Transitional Properties by approximately $6.2 million to approximately $8.1 million (including approximately $1.2 million of ground rent and the repayment of deferral amounts for the months of April, May and June, 2020). The Company agreed to the deferral of all fixed rent due under the Transitional Leases for the months of April, May and June 2020. This total amount deferred under each Transitional Lease is included in the calculation of the fixed rent under the Transitional Lease and amortized over the remaining current term of the Transitional Lease. The Transitional Leases have expiration dates occurring between November 2026 and March 2029.

Pursuant to the Master Lease and the Forbearance Agreement, commencing on July 1, 2020 and continuing through December 31, 2020, in lieu of monthly fixed rent AMC Tenant agreed to pay percentage rent of 15% of total gross sales/receipts during such month, not to exceed the deferred monthly fixed rent for the Leased Properties. The difference between the scheduled monthly fixed rent and the percentage rent actually paid to the Company will be additional deferred rent that, beginning in February 2021, will be added to fixed cash rent and amortized over the remaining portion of the first 14 years of the term of the Master Lease or over the remaining current term in the case of Transitional Leases.

The Leases are triple-net leases requiring AMC Tenant to be responsible at all times for taxes, assessments, maintenance and operating costs, common area charges, association fees, ground rent, insurance premiums, utility charges and similar pass-through charges. Fixed rent of the Master Lease (excluding the portion attributable to deferred rent) will increase by 7.5% every five years during the term and any extensions.

The Company may terminate each Transitional Lease by giving the AMC Tenant 90 days' prior notice of termination. Upon termination of a Transitional Lease by the Company, AMC Tenant has agreed to (1) cooperate with the Company in transitioning the applicable Transitional Property to a new operator to ensure seamless transfer of management and re-branding, and (2) transfer certain property, including fixtures, furnishings and equipment, located or used at the applicable Transitional Property in exchange for a credit to the unpaid deferred amount due under the Transitional Lease.
