        Section 8.    Amendment to Exhibit B.    Section 1 (Revenue Share) of

deleting the first paragraph contained therein and substituting the following:

of Net Ticket Revenue for such Comp Passes exceeding 25 per Theatre."

        Section 9.    Limited Effect.    This Amendment relates only to the
specific matters expressly covered herein, shall not be considered to be a
waiver of any rights or remedies either Party may have under the Agreement, and
shall not be considered to create a course of dealing or to otherwise obligate
in any respect either Party to execute similar or other amendments under the
