FOURTH AMENDMENT TO FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of December 13, 2021, among IMAX CORPORATION, a corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of Canada (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) party hereto and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent (the “Agent”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings provided such terms in the Credit Agreement referred to below.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), the Agent and the other parties thereto have entered into that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2018 (as previously amended by that certain First Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 10, 2020, that certain Second Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 15, 2021 and that certain Third Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 28, 2021, as amended hereby and as further amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement” and the Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to this Amendment being referred to as the “Existing Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, under the Existing Credit Agreement Revolving Loans that are denominated in Euros bear interest based on Euribor, as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, on March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the administrator of the London interbank offered rate, and the Financial Conduct Authority, the regulatory supervisor of IBA, announced in public statements (the “Announcements”) that the final publication or representativeness date for the London interbank offered rate for various currencies, including Euros, will be December 31, 2021.  No successor administrator for IBA was identified in such Announcements.  As a result, it is possible that commencing immediately after such dates, the London interbank offered rate for such Euros may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed a representative reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on applicable Loans; and

WHEREAS, the Agent and the Borrower have determined that as a result of the Announcements, the provisions of Section 3.2(c) are applicable to any Euro denominated Loan.   In connection with such determinations the Agent and the Borrower have agreed, in accordance with Sections 3.2(c) and 11.14(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement, to establish Euribor (as defined in the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment) and to make such other changes set forth herein in order to implement any Replacement Rate.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:
