SUMMARY OF CLAIM 1. On October 23, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Movie Grill Concepts XLIV, LLC (“MGC 44”), Studio Movie Grill Holdings, LLC (“SMG”) and several of their affiliates (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed their voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their affairs as debtors in possession pursuant to §§1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. 2. Prior to the Petition Date, SEC CTR & MCP, LP, a Texas Limited Partnership, as landlord (the “Claimant”) and MGC 44, as tenant, entered into that certain Lease dated November 8, 2018 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease, dated September 30, 2020 (the “Amendment,” and together with the Original Lease, the “Lease”) for premises consisting of approximately 40,000 square feet and 12 auditorium movie theaters, located at 5413 Sierra Springs Lane, Fort Worth, Texas 76123 (the “Premises”). As part and parcel of the Lease, SMG executed that certain Guaranty of Lease (the “Guaranty”), pursuant to which SMG unconditionally guaranteed, among other things, payment of all amounts due under the Lease. True and correct copies of the Original Lease (which includes the Guaranty at pp. 83-86 of Exhibit “A”) and the Amendment are attached hereto as Exhibits “A” and “B,” and are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth at length. 3. The Lease has an express term of 15 years, plus three option terms of five years each, and provides for minimum rent as follows:Page 9
In addition to the minimum rent set forth above, MGC 44 was required to pay as additional rent, other charges required to be paid pursuant to the Lease, including Percentage Rent, Taxes, Other Special Assessments, Utilities, Insurance and Common Area Costs. 4. The Rent Commencement Date under the Lease occurred on April 22, 2020; however, pursuant to the Amendment, the Claimant agreed to defer MGC 44’s payments of Minimum Annual Rent and Additional Rent due under the Lease for April 22, 2020 through December 31, 2020, until December 31, 2020, instead requiring payment of certain percentages of MGC 44’s Gross Sales from the Premises during those months in which payments due were deferred. Per the Amendment, on January 1, 2021, MGC 44 was to resume making monthly payments as set forth in the Original Lease, with provisions for repayment of the deferred amounts set forth in therein. 5. As of the Petition Date, MGC 44 had not made its percentage payments under the Amendment for the months of September 2020 ($1,219.28) and October 2020 ($1,178.47), for a total of $2,397.75 due and owing under the Lease as of the Petition Date (the “Pre-Petition Rent Claim”). 6.

No. 537], MGC 44 rejected the Lease to be effective as of January 31, 2021. MGC 44’s rejection of the Lease results in damages calculated pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §502(b)(6) as the rent reserved under the Lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year, or 15%, not to exceed three years, of the remaining term of such Lease following the Petition Date + the Pre-Petition Rent Claim. With a primary lease term of 15 years remaining under the Lease,Page 10
Claimant holds a rejection damages claim of (a) 15% of the rent reserved under the Lease (which includes base rent, property taxes, insurance and reasonable attorneys’ fees compensable under Section 20.6.2 of the Original Lease, totaling $18,147,284.90) in the amount of $2,722,092.73, plus (b) the Pre-Petition Rent Claim of $2,397.75, for a total of $2,722,092.74. Claimant hereby reserves the right to amend this proof of claim and/or to file administrative claims, as appropriate, to include any additional claims, including, but not limited to claims for the repair and clean-up of the Premises if not turned over in the condition required under the Lease and for additional fees and expenses incurred as a result of this proceeding. Claimant’s calculation of its rejection damages is set forth on Exhibit “C” hereto, which is incorporated by reference as is fully set forth at length. 7. This claim is not founded on an open account, except to the extent that the Lease is deemed such. 8. This claim is an unsecured claim, except to the effect that Claimant is secured by virtue of any liens afforded it pursuant to relevant contract or property law. 9. The amount of all payments of this claim has been credited and deducted for the purpose of making this proof of claim. 10. This claim is not subject to set off. 11. The total amount of the claim $2,722,092.74, plus any additional interest, fees, expenses or other costs allowed by contract or applicable law. The foregoing amount also does not include interest, fees, expenses and other costs accrued after the Petition Date which the Claimant may be entitled to subsequently assert.Page 11
