[SEAL]
No holder of any shares of the Corporation shall be entitled as such, as a matter of right, to purchase or subscribe for any shares of stock of the Corporation of any class, whether now or hereafter authorized or whether issued for cash, property or services or as a dividend or otherwise, or to purchase or subscribe for any obligations, bonds, notes, debentures, other securities or stock convertible into shares of stock of the Corporation or carrying or evidencing any right to purchase shares of stock of any class.
None of the Shareholders shall sell, assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer or encumber in any manner or by any means whatever, any interest in all or part of his, her, or its capital stock of the Corporation now owned or hereafter acquired without the prior written consent of the Corporation first obtained, nor shall any such Shareholder sell any such stock without having first offered it to others in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article; provided, however, that if the consent required by this Paragraph is granted, the transferee shall accept such stock subject to all the restrictions, terms, and conditions herein contained.
In the event any of the Shareholders shall desire to sell any portion or all of his, her, or its capital stock of the Corporation, and shall not have received the prior written consent of the Corporation, he, she, or it may sell the same only after offering it to others in the following manner:

IV. The number of shares of stock of the Corporation outstanding and the number of shares entitled to vote on the foregoing amendment was 820,000 shares of common stock, par value $.50 per share.

(a) Each of said 1,100,000 issued and outstanding shares of $. 50 par value common stock shall be, and hereby is, automatically reclassified as and converted into shares of common stock of the Corporation of the par value of $.0625 each, on the basis of eight shares of $.0625 par value common stock of the Corporation for each share of the Corporation’s $.50 par value common stock, aggregating 8,800,000 shares of $.50 par value common stock;
(b) The entire stated capital in respect of all of the issued shares of $.50 par value common stock shall be, and it hereby is, transferred to the Corporation’s capital in respect of said 8,800,000 shares of $.0625 par value common stocks.
Accordingly, immediately after the effectiveness of this amendment, the Corporation will have issued and outstanding 8,800,000 shares of common stock of the par value of $.0625 each, aggregating $550,000 of stated capital.
From and after the effectiveness of this amendment, each stock certificate formerly representing shares of the Corporation’s $.50 par value common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of this amendment shall, without further action, represent shares of the Corporation’s common stock of the par value of $.0625 each, on the basis of eight shares of $.0625 par value common stock for each share of $.50 par value common stock formerly represented by such stock certificate.
No holder of any shares of the Corporation shall be entitled as such, as a matter of right, to purchase or subscribe for any shares of stock of the Corporation of any class, whether now or hereafter authorized or whether issued for cash, property or services or as a dividend or otherwise, or to purchase or subscribe for any obligations, bonds, notes, debentures, other securities or stock convertible into shares of stock of the Corporation or carrying or evidencing any right to purchase shares of stock of any class.
None of the Shareholders shall sell, assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer or encumber in any manner or by any means whatever, any interest in all or part of his, her, or its capital stock of the Corporation now owned or hereafter acquired without the prior written consent of the Corporation first obtained, nor shall any such Shareholder sell any such stock without having first offered it to others in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article; provided, however, that if the consent required by this Paragraph is granted, the transferee shall accept such stock subject to all the restrictions, terms, and conditions herein contained.
In the event any of the Shareholders shall desire to sell any portion or all of his, her, or its capital stock of the Corporation, and shall not have received the prior written consent of the Corporation, he, she, or it may sell the same only after offering it to others in the following manner:
The Shareholder desiring to sell all or part of his, her, or its stock shall serve notice upon the Corporation and all other Shareholders by registered mail, return receipt requested, indicating that he, she, or it has a bona fide offer for the sale of such of his, her, or its stock for a price consisting only of cash, stating the number of shares to be sold, the name and address of the person desiring to purchase same and the sales price and terms of payment of such sale; said notice shall also contain an offer to sell such stock upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the aforesaid bona fide offer of sale.
For a period of thirty (30) days after the mailing of such notice the Corporation shall have the option to redeem the stock so offered. If the Corporation fails to exercise such option the other Shareholders shall have the option to purchase such stock pro rata to their then existing holdings within thirty (30) days after the termination of the Corporation’s option to redeem.
In the event that neither the Corporation nor the other Shareholders shall exercise the option to redeem or purchase, as the case may be, as provided herein, the offering Shareholder shall be free to dispose of the shares of stock so offered to the person named in the aforesaid bona fide offer of purchase at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in his offer; provided, however, that such disposition must be made within ninety (90) days following the termination of the Shareholders’ option.
The manner of payment by the Corporation or the other Shareholders shall be the same as set forth in the notice from the party desiring to sell said stock, i.e., the terms set forth in said bona fide offer.
The Corporation shall cause each and every certificate of capital stock of the Corporation whether presently or hereafter issued to be endorsed as follows:
“NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of the shares of capital stock represented by this certificate are subject to certain restrictions contained in ARTICLE THIRD of the Articles of Incorporation and that the right to purchase or subscribe for any additional shares of stock of the Corporation is restricted as provided in said ARTICLE THIRD of the Articles of Incorporation.”
In addition the Corporation shall cause any certificates of capital stock issued pursuant to a certain Common Stock Purchase Warrant dated October 23, 1968, to be further endorsed with a legend as provided in Paragraph 10 of said Common Stock Purchase Warrant.
That a true copy of the Articles of Incorporation and said Purchase Warrant is and shall remain on file in the office of the President of the Corporation.

PLAN AND AGREEMENT OF LIQUIDATION AND MERGER
This Plan and Agreement of Liquidation and Merger (the “Plan”) is made on March 29, 1994, by American Multi-Cinema, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“AMC”), Cinema Enterprises, Inc. a Missouri corporation (“CENI”) and Cinema Enterprises II, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“CENI II”). On the Effective Date (as defined in paragraph 4 below), AMC shall own all of the shares of the sole class of stock of each of CENI and CENI II. It is intended that the merger contemplated by the Plan shall constitute a liquidation of each of CENI and CENI II in which no taxable gain or loss is recognized pursuant to Section 332 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The terms and conditions of the Plan are as follows.
1. Names of Corporations. The names of the corporations proposing to merge are:
American Multi-Cinema, Inc.
Cinema Enterprises, Inc.
and
Cinema Enterprises II, Inc.
2. Merger. On the Effective Date AMC, CENI and CENI II shall merge into a single corporation by CENI and CENI II merging into AMC.
3. Name of Surviving Corporation. The name of American Multi-Cinema, Inc., which is to be the surviving corporation, shall not be changed as a result of the merger.
4. Effective Date. The merger shall be effected at the close of business on March 31, 1994 (the “Effective Date”).
5. Effect of Merger. (a) On the Effective Date, the separate existence of each of CENI and CENI II shall cease, except to the extent that its separate existence may be continued by law. Upon the cessation of existence of CENI and CENI II, AMC will be the sole general partner of Exhibition Enterprises Partnership, a New York general partnership (“EEP”), of which each of CENI and CENI II, prior to the effectiveness of the merger, owned a 50% general partnership interest, and EEP will cease to exist by operation of law. The existence of AMC shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the merger, and AMC shall after the Effective Date have all of the rights, privileges, immunities and powers, and shall be
subject to all of the duties and liabilities, of a corporation organized under The General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri.
(b) On the Effective Date, AMC shall have and thereafter possess all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, of a public as well as of a private nature, of each of CENI, CENI II and EEP, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due on whatever account and all other choses in action, and every other interest of or belonging to or due to any of CENI, CENI II and EEP shall be taken and deemed to be transferred to and vested or remain in AMC without further act or deed (and the title to any real estate, or any interest therein, vested in any of the merging corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the merger).
(c) Upon the Effective Date and thereafter, AMC shall be responsible and liable for all the liabilities and obligations of each of CENI, CENI II and EEP, and any claim existing or action or proceeding pending by or against any of such entities may be prosecuted to judgment as if such merger had not taken place or, in the case of CENI, CENI II or EEP, AMC may be substituted in its place. Neither the rights of creditors nor any liens upon the property of any of the merging corporations or EEP shall be impaired by the merger.
(d) The respective officers of CENI, CENI II and EEP and the board of managers of EEP are hereby authorized to execute all deeds, assignments and other documents which may be necessary to effect the full and complete transfer of the properties of such corporations and general partnership to AMC. The officers of AMC are hereby authorized to execute and deliver any and all documents which may be required of it in order for it to assume or otherwise comply with any liability or obligation of CENI, CENI II or EEP. If at any time AMC shall determine that any further documents are necessary or desirable to vest in it, according to the terms hereof, the title to any property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers or franchises of CENI, CENI II or EEP, then the officers of such entities and the board of managers of EEP shall execute and deliver all such documents and do all things necessary to vest in and confirm to AMC title and possession to all such property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, and to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Plan.
6. Cancellation of Shares. (a) The manner and basis of cancelling the shares of stock of each of the merging corporations shall be as follows:
2
(i) On the Effective Date, each share of the authorized 6 1/4¢ par value common stock of AMC, whether or not issued and outstanding, shall continue to be one share of the 6 1/4¢ par value common stock of AMC.
(ii) On the Effective Date, each of the 1,000 shares of the $1.00 par value common stock of CENI which are issued and outstanding (whether or not such shares are in all respects validly issued) and owned of record by AMC shall be cancelled.
(iii) On the Effective Date, each of the 1,000 shares of the $1.00 par value common stock of CENI II which are issued and outstanding (whether or not such shares are in all respects validly issued) and owned of record by AMC shall be cancelled.
7. Articles of Incorporation; By laws; Directors; Officers. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of AMC shall not be changed by or as a result of the merger. The directors and officers of AMC prior to the merger shall continue in such offices after the merger.
8. Further Action. Each of the merging corporations shall take all actions and do all things necessary, proper, or advisable under the laws of the State of Missouri to consummate and make effective the merger contemplated herein.

EXHIBIT A
THIRD. The aggregate number of shares of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall be 12,800,000 shares, consisting of 8,800,000 shares of common stock, $.0625 par value per share, and 4,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0625 par value per share.
No holder of any shares of the Corporation shall be entitled as such, as a matter of right, to purchase or subscribe for any shares of stock of the Corporation of any class, whether now or hereafter authorized or whether issued for cash, property or services or as a dividend or otherwise, or to purchase or subscribe for any obligations, bonds, notes, debentures, other securities or stock convertible into shares of stock of the Corporation or carrying or evidencing any right to purchase shares of stock of any class.
Each share of the $1.75 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank equally in all respects and shall be subject to the following provisions:
Section 1. Designation; Rank. This series of preferred stock shall be designated $1.75 Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $.0625 per share (the “Preferred”). The Preferred will rank, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, (a) senior to all classes of common stock of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the Common Stock) and each other class of capital stock or series of preferred stock established after the offering of the Preferred by the Board of Directors that does not expressly provide that it ranks senior to or on a parity with the Preferred as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution (collectively referred to with the common stock of the Corporation as “Junior Securities”), (b) on a parity with each other class of capital stock or series of preferred stock issued by the Corporation established after the offering of the Preferred by the Board of Directors that expressly provides that such series will rank on a parity with the Preferred as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution (collectively referred to as “Parity Securities”) and (c) junior to each other class of capital stock or series of preferred stock established after the offering of the Preferred by the Board of Directors that expressly provides that such series will rank senior to the Preferred as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution (collectively referred to as “Senior Securities”).
Section 2. Authorized Number. The number of shares constituting the Preferred shall be 4,000,000 shares.
Section 3. Dividends. Holders of shares of the Preferred will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends at an annual rate of $1.75 per share of Preferred, payable in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing March 15, 1995 (and, in the case of any accrued but unpaid dividends, at such additional times and for such interim periods, if any, as determined by the Board of Directors), except that if any such date is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such dividend shall be payable on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. Each dividend will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stock register of the Corporation on a record date fixed by the Board of Directors, which shall be not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the payment date. Dividends payable on the Preferred for each full dividend period will be computed by annualizing the dividend rate and dividing by four. Dividends payable for any period less than a full dividend period or for that portion of any period greater than a full dividend period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Preferred will not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any accrued and unpaid dividends.
No full dividends may be declared or paid or funds set apart for the payment of dividends on any Parity Securities for any period unless full cumulative dividends shall have been paid or set apart for such payment on the Preferred. If full cumulative dividends are not paid in full, or declared in full and sums set apart for the payment thereof, upon the Preferred and upon any other Parity Securities, all dividends declared upon shares of Preferred and any such Parity Securities will be declared and paid pro rata so that in all cases the amount of dividends declared per share on the Preferred and on such other Parity Securities will bear to each other the same ratio that accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Preferred and such other Parity Securities bear to each other. No dividends may be paid or set apart for such payment on Junior Securities (except rights to acquire Junior Securities) and no Junior Securities may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise retired, no may funds be set apart for payment with respect thereto, if full dividends have not been paid on the Preferred. Accumulated unpaid dividends will not bear interest.
Section 4. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, before any payment or distribution of assets is made on any Junior Securities, including, without limitation, the Common Stock of the Corporation, but after payment or provision for payment of the Company’s debts and other liabilities, the holders of the Preferred shall receive a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and shall be entitled to receive all accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of distribution, and the holder of any Parity Securities shall be entitled to receive the full respective liquidation preferences (including any premium) to which they are entitled and shall receive all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to their respective shares through and including the date of distribution. If, upon such a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay in full the amounts described above as payable with respect to the Preferred and any Parity Securities, the holders of the Preferred and such Parity Securities will share ratably in any such distribution of assets of the Corporation, first in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences, until such preferences are paid in full, and then in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued but unpaid dividends. After payment of any such liquidation preference and accrued dividends, the shares of Preferred will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. Neither the sale or transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation, nor the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor any dissolution, liquidation, winding up or reorganization of the Corporation immediately followed by reincorporation of another corporation holding substantially all the assets of the Corporation, will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
Section 5. Optional Redemption.
(a) Shares of Preferred may not be redeemed by the Corporation on or prior to March 15, 1997. After March 15, 1997, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem the shares of Preferred, in whole or in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at any time or from time to time, subject to the notice provisions and provisions for partial redemption described below, during the twelve-month periods beginning immediately after March 15 in each of the following years at the following redemption prices per share (expressed as a percentage of the $25.00 liquidation preference thereof) plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, up to but excluding the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), whether or not declared (the “Redemption Price”):
3
Year | | Redemption Price | |
1997 | | 104 | % |
1998 | | 103 | |
1999 | | 102 | |
2000 | | 101 | |
2001 and thereafter | | 100 | |
(b) In the event the Corporation shall redeem shares of Preferred, notice of such redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each holder of record of the shares of Preferred to be redeemed, at such holder’s address as the same appears in the stock register of the Corporation. Each such notice shall state (i) the Redemption Date, (ii) the number of shares of Preferred to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder is to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder, (iii) The Redemption Price, (iv) the place or places where certificates for such shares of Preferred are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and (v) that dividends on the shares of Preferred to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on such Redemption Date. In order to facilitate the redemption of the Preferred, the Board of Directors may fix a record date for determination of holders of shares of Preferred to be redeemed, which shall not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date with respect thereto. If, on the Redemption Date, funds necessary for the redemption shall be available therefor, and shall have been irrevocably deposited or set aside, then, notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any shares of Preferred so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered (unless the Corporation defaults in making payment of the Redemption Price), the dividends with respect to the shares so called for redemption shall cease to accrue after the Redemption Date, such shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding, all rights of the holders of such shares as stockholders of the Corporation shall cease, and all rights whatsoever with respect to the shares so called for redemption (except the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificates therefor) shall terminate.
Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the certificates for any such shares of Preferred so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the applicable Redemption Price. If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Preferred are to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Corporation from outstanding shares of Preferred not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata. If fewer than all the shares of Preferred represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.
In the event that the Corporation has failed to pay accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred, the Preferred may not be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Preferred are simultaneously redeemed or the outstanding shares of the Preferred are redeemed on a pro rata basis.
Section 6. Voting Rights.
Except as otherwise provided herein or as may be required by Missouri law or provided by the resolution creating any other series of preferred stock, the holders of shares of Preferred will have no voting rights.
Sections 8. Status of Reacquired Shares. If shares of the Preferred are redeemed pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the shares so redeemed shall, upon compliance with any statutory requirements, assume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation.
3
Section 9. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand or when sent by telex or telecopier (with receipt confirmed), provided a copy is also sent by express (overnight, if possible) courier, addressed, (a) in the case of a holder of the Preferred, to such holder’s address of record and, (b) in the case of the Corporation, to the Company’s principal executive offices to the attention of the Company’s Secretary.
