Buyer to Closing Escrow Holder;

         (ii)  Record the Grant Deed in the official records of the county or

The Closing Escrow Holder is hereby authorized and instructed to date the Lease
Assignment and Assumptions as of the Closing Date. The Closing Escrow Holder is
hereby authorized and instructed to date as of the Closing Date any other
document delivered by the parties hereto which has not theretofore been dated.
The Closing Escrow Holder is hereby authorized and instructed to insert the
amount of the tax due on the separate statement in accordance with the
Preliminary Settlement Statement. As soon as reasonably practicable, Seller
shall provide the Closing Escrow Holder with a copy of the Preliminary
Settlement Statement agreed to by the parties in accordance with Section 2.8.
The Closing Escrow Holder shall deliver the Title Policies and a conformed copy
of the Lease Assignments and Assumptions to Buyer not more than seven Business
Days after the Closing Date.

        2.8.    Prorations Adjustment.    

        (a)   The items of income and expense or asset or liability, as the case
may be, set forth below shall be prorated as of the Effective Time, so that
Sellers shall bear all such income and expense with respect to the Leased Real
Property and the Purchased Real Property through and including the period
preceding the Effective Time, and Buyer shall bear all such income and expense
with respect to the Leased Real Property and the Purchased Real Property on and
after the Effective Time. Prorations shall be made pursuant to a preliminary
settlement statement ("Preliminary Settlement Statements") prepared in good
faith and delivered by each Seller to Buyer not earlier than 20 calendar days
and not later than 10 calendar days prior to Closing, together with such
supplemental calculations and information as shall be reasonably necessary or
appropriate to enable Buyer to determine the accuracy thereof. The Preliminary
Settlement Statements shall be based upon the most current and reliable
information reasonably available to such Seller at the time of its delivery, and
may be based upon estimates where actual amounts are impractical to obtain or
verify. Within 5 calendar days of Buyer's receipt of the Preliminary Settlement
Statements, Buyer shall notify the Sellers in writing whether Buyer approves the
Preliminary Settlement Statements. If Buyer approves the Preliminary Settlement
Statements, or fails to notify a Seller of its disapproval at the time specified
above, then the proration amount shall be as set forth on applicable Preliminary
Settlement Statement initially delivered by a Seller to Buyer. If Buyer
disapproves a Preliminary Settlement Statement, then the applicable Seller and
Buyer shall use their Reasonable Best Efforts to agree upon the amounts to be
set forth on such Preliminary Settlement Statement. The amounts set forth on the
Preliminary Settlement Statements shall be subject to adjustment or correction
on the Final Settlement Statements. Buyer's approval or disapproval of a
Preliminary Settlement Statement shall not be a condition to Closing, and any
disagreements regarding the Preliminary Settlement Statement shall be resolved
at the time and in the manner provided for resolution of disagreements about the
Final Settlement Statements. If the applicable parties are unable to resolve all
disagreements regarding the Preliminary Settlement Statement of a Seller prior
to the Closing, then the proration amount shall be as set forth on the
Preliminary Settlement Statement initially delivered by such Seller to Buyer,
with such modifications thereto, if any, to which the parties have agreed.

        (b)   Each Preliminary Settlement Statement shall set forth the
following information as a credit or debit to Buyer or a Seller as applicable:

          (i)  (A) Real property taxes and assessments which are (x) a lien
against the Leased Real Property or the Purchased Real Property, (y) separately
assessed against such premises and (z) payable by a Seller directly to the tax
collector or reimbursed dollar for dollar to the corresponding lessor, shall be
prorated as of the Closing Date and any such amount up to and including the
Closing Date shall be Seller's obligation and any amount after the Closing Date
shall be Buyer's obligation and (B) real property Taxes and assessments which
are a lien

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

against the Leased Real Property, but are not separately assessed, or are
neither payable by a Seller directly to the tax collector or reimbursed dollar
for dollar to the lessor, shall be allocated between Buyer and the applicable
Seller in a reasonable manner, based upon the best estimates of the parties and
prior billings therefor by the corresponding lessor.

         (ii)  Personal property taxes, sales taxes, and other state, county and
municipal Taxes other than those Taxes on real property described in
Section 2.8(b)(i) above (but not including any Tax based on income), imposed on
a periodic basis and payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not
end on) the Closing Date and arising out of the ownership or operation of the
Purchased Assets, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and any such amount
up to and including the Closing Date shall be Sellers' obligation and any amount
after the Closing Date shall be Buyer's obligation.

        (iii)  Monthly or other periodic rent under the Assigned Leases, whether
paid in arrears or in advance.

        (iv)  Additional rent under the Assigned Leases including without
limitation additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and
other operating costs and expenses incurred, or to be incurred, in connection
with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Leased Real
Property, whether paid in arrears or in advance.

         (v)  Payments and charges under Purchased Contracts or Assigned Leases
(to the extent such payments and charges are included in the Assumed
Liabilities).

        (vi)  Electrical, gas, telephone, sewer and water utility service. Each
Seller shall make reasonable efforts to cause meters to be read for such
utilities as close to the Effective Time as possible. To the extent such meters
are read, adjustments shall be based upon such readings, using the number of
business days prior to and after the reading, and prior to and after the
Effective Time. To the extent such meters are not read, adjustments shall be
made using the most recently received bill for such utility service. In no event
shall Sellers cause any of the services to be physically terminated, shut off or
interrupted; provided, however, Sellers shall not be responsible for any service
interruption if Buyer does not make reasonable efforts to establish or continue
any service with the applicable utility service provider following the Closing
Date.

       (vii)  Payments or assessments in respect of any REAs affecting the
Leased Real Property to the extent payable by the lessee under any of the
Assigned Leases or in respect of any REAs affecting the Purchased Real Property.

      (viii)  Buyer shall be entitled to a credit to the Purchase Price in an
amount equal to (A) the Gift Certificate Obligations liability of a Seller,
which for the purposes of the Preliminary Settlement Statement shall be in the
amount set forth on the interim balance sheet of such Seller furnished to Buyer
pursuant to Section 5.7 most recently in advance of the Closing Date, plus
(B) 90% of any increase in the amount of such Seller's Gift Certificate
Obligations between the date of such financial statement and the Closing Date,
minus (C) 100% of any decrease in the amount of such Seller's Gift Certificate
Obligations.

        (ix)  Each Seller shall be entitled to a credit for theatre cash
remaining on the Closing Date in Seller's theatres being acquired as part of the
Leased Real Property and Purchased Real Property.

         (x)  Each Seller shall be entitled to a credit in an amount equal to
the Excess Concessions Inventory (as defined in the Concessions Letter
Agreement).

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        (xi)  Buyer shall be entitled to a credit for prepaid amounts under the
theatre advertising arrangements to the extent such amounts relate to the 90-day
period described in the letter agreement attached as Exhibit 2.7(a)(xx).

        (c)   To the extent the aggregate of the applicable Seller's credits and
Buyer's obligations with respect to such Seller exceed the aggregate of Buyer's
credits and Seller's obligations set forth in Sections 2.8(i) through (xi)
above, such Seller shall receive a credit to its allocation the Purchase Price
in the amount of such excess. To the extent the aggregate of Buyer's credits and
a Seller's obligations exceed the aggregate of a Seller's credits and Buyer's
obligations with respect to such Seller set forth in Sections 2.8(i) through
(xi) above, the Seller's allocation of the Purchase Price shall be reduced by
the amount of such excess.

        (d)   Buyer shall deliver a post-closing settlement statement (the
"Post-Closing Settlement Statement") to each Seller not later than 120 days
after Closing, together with such supplemental calculations and information as
shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable such Seller to determine
the accuracy thereof. The Post-Closing Settlement Statements shall be based upon
the most current and reliable information reasonably available to Buyer at the
time of its delivery. Within 30 calendar days of the applicable Seller's receipt
of the Post-Closing Settlement Statement, such Seller shall notify the Buyer in
writing whether such Seller approves the applicable Post-Closing Settlement
Statement. If a Seller approves the applicable Post-Closing Settlement
Statement, or fails to notify Buyer of its disapproval in the manner and within
the time specified above, then the Post-Closing Settlement Statement shall be as
delivered to such Seller. If a Seller disapproves the Post-Closing Settlement
Statement, then the applicable Seller and Buyer shall use their Reasonable Best
Efforts to agree upon the amounts to be set forth in the Post-Closing Settlement
Statement, and the Post-Closing Settlement Statement shall be amended
accordingly. If a Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon the amounts to be set forth
in the Post-Closing Settlement Statement, then (except to the extent that such
amounts in disagreement relate to operating expense passthroughs under the
Assigned Leases or percentage rent payable under the Assigned Leases) the
accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers, or its successor, is designated to
act as sole arbitrator and to decide all points of disagreement with respect to
the Post-Closing Settlement Statement, such decision to be binding on the
parties. If such firm is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity, then the
applicable Seller and Buyer shall use Reasonable Best Efforts to designate and
retain another mutually acceptable nationally-recognized accounting firm not
retained for general audit purposes by either of them as the sole arbitrator
under this Section 2.8. The costs and expenses of the arbitrator, whether the
firm designated above, or otherwise designated, shall be shared equally by the
applicable Seller and Buyer and in the event that all Sellers object, then
Sellers' aggregate share of the costs and expenses of the arbitrator shall be
fifty percent. Within 5 business days after the Post-Closing Settlement
Statement has been agreed upon or disagreements resolved, Buyer or the
applicable Seller, as the case may be, shall promptly make a payment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the other party in an amount equal to
the difference between the Closing Payment set forth on the Preliminary
Settlement Statement and the proration amount set forth on the Post-Closing
Settlement Statement, together with an interest rate per annum for the period
from and including the Closing Date through and including the date of payment at
the "prime" rate of interest as published from time to time by The Wall Street
Journal in its "Money Rates" section of its Western Edition newspaper in effect
from time to time during such period. To the extent that amounts in disagreement
relate to operating expense passthroughs under the Assigned Leases or percentage
rent payable under the Assigned Leases and are not resolved prior to referral to
arbitration, then the prorations therefor shall remain as set forth on the
Preliminary Settlement Statement, with such modifications thereto, if any, to
which the parties have agreed, and any remaining disagreements regarding such
amounts shall be resolved at the time and in the manner provided for resolution
of disagreements about the Final Settlement Statement.

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        (e)   Buyer shall deliver a final settlement statement ("Final
Settlement Statement") to each Seller not later than April 15, 2005, together
with such supplemental calculations and information as shall be reasonably
necessary or appropriate to enable Sellers to determine the accuracy thereof.
The Final Settlement Statements shall be solely for the purpose of determining
final prorations for operating expense passthroughs under the Assigned Leases
and percentage rent paid or payable under the Assigned Leases. The Final
Settlement Statements shall be based upon the most current and reliable
information reasonably available to Buyer at the time of its delivery. Within 30
calendar days of a Seller's receipt of the applicable Final Settlement
Statement, such Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing whether such Seller
approves the Final Settlement Statement. If a Seller approves the Final
Settlement Statement, or fails to notify Buyer of its disapproval in the manner
and within the time specified above, then the Final Settlement Statement shall
be as delivered to the applicable Seller. If a Seller disapproves a Final
Settlement Statement, then the applicable Seller and Buyer shall use their
Reasonable Best Efforts to agree upon the amounts to be set forth in the Final
Settlement Statement, and the Final Settlement Statement shall be amended
accordingly. If a Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon the amounts to be set forth
in the Final Settlement Statement, then the accounting firm of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, or its successor, is designated to act as sole
arbitrator and to decide all points of disagreement with respect to the Final
Settlement Statement, such decision to be binding on both parties. If such firm
is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity, the applicable Seller and
Buyer shall use Reasonable Best Efforts to designate and retain another mutually
acceptable nationally-recognized accounting firm not retained for general audit
purposes by either of them as the sole arbitrator under this Section 2.8. The
costs and expenses of the arbitrator, whether the firm designated above, or
otherwise designated, shall be shared equally by the applicable Seller and Buyer
and in the event that all Sellers object, then Sellers' aggregate share of the
costs and expenses of the arbitrator shall be fifty percent. Within 5 business
days after the Final Settlement Statement has been agreed upon or disagreements
resolved, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall promptly make a payment by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the other party in an amount
equal to the difference between the Closing Payment set forth on the Preliminary
Settlement Statement and the proration amount set forth on the Final Settlement
Statement, together with an interest rate per annum for the period from and
including the Closing Date through and including the date of payment at the
"prime" rate of interest as published from time to time by The Wall Street
Journal in its "Money Rates" section of its Western Edition newspaper in effect
from time to time during such period.

        2.9.    Holdback Escrow.    

        (a)   $7,947,684 shall be held back from the Closing Consideration
allocated to Signature and placed into an interest-bearing escrow account for a
period of twelve (12) months following Closing pursuant to the terms of the
Holdback Escrow Agreement.

        (b)   $651,990 shall be held back from the Closing Consideration
allocated to Turlock and placed into an interest-bearing escrow account for a
period of twelve (12) months following Closing pursuant to the terms of the
Holdback Escrow Agreement.

        (c)   $554,679 shall be held back from the Closing Consideration
allocated to Desert and placed into an interest-bearing escrow account for a
period of twelve (12) months following Closing pursuant to the terms of the
Holdback Escrow Agreement.

        (d)   The aggregate amount held back from the Closing Consideration
pursuant to Sections 2.9(a) through 2.9(c) is referred to herein as the
"Holdback Escrow Amount". Buyer shall be entitled to an offset against the
portion of the Holdback Escrow Amount allocated to a Seller under this
Section 2.9 for any payments such Seller is required to make pursuant to
Section 2.8 that has not been paid to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.8, for
any indemnification claim

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pursuant to the Trademark License Agreement or for any indemnity payment
pursuant to Article 11 of this Agreement.

        2.10.    Closing Payments to Lenders.    

        A portion of the Closing Consideration, on a dollar for dollar basis in
an amount equal to the balance owing by the Sellers as of the Closing Date to
the lenders identified on Schedule 2.10, shall be wired by the Closing Escrow
Holder directly to such lenders at Closing.

        2.11.    Consents    

        (a)   Each Seller shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to promptly
obtain all Consents listed in Schedule 3.2(c). If there are any Consents that
have not yet been obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) as of
the Closing, in the case of each Purchased Contract as to which such Consents
were not obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) (the
"Restricted Contracts"), Buyer may waive the closing conditions as to any such
Consent and either: (i) elect to have the applicable Seller continue its efforts
to obtain the Consent; or (ii) elect to have the applicable Seller retain that
Restricted Contract and all Liabilities arising therefrom or relating thereto.

        (b)   If Buyer elects to have the applicable Seller continue its
Reasonable Best Efforts to obtain any Consent and the Closing occurs,
notwithstanding Sections 2.1 and 2.4, neither this Agreement nor the Bill of
Sale, Assignment and Assumption nor any other document related to the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions shall constitute a sale,
assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery or an attempted sale,
assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery of the Restricted
Contract, and following the Closing, the applicable Seller shall use Reasonable
Best Efforts to obtain the Consent relating to each Restricted Contract as
quickly as practicable. Once a Consent for the sale, assignment, assumption,
transfer, conveyance and delivery of a Restricted Contract is obtained, the
applicable Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such
Restricted Contract to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume the obligations under such
Restricted Contract from and after the date of assignment to Buyer pursuant to a
special-purpose assignment and assumption agreement substantially similar in
terms to those of the Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption, as applicable. A
Seller's failure or inability to obtain such Consent with respect to a
Restricted Contract after the exercise of Reasonable Best Efforts shall not
constitute a breach by such Seller of any provision of this Agreement or give
rise to a claim for Damages by Buyer.

        2.12.    Lessor Consents and Estoppels    

        (a)   With respect to each of the Assigned Leases (other than Assigned
Leases which are Related Party Contracts), Sellers shall promptly after the date
hereof request that the lessor and master lessor (with respect to any Assigned
Lease which is a sublease) thereunder execute an estoppel and consent in the
form of Exhibit 2.12(a) attached hereto (the "Lessor Consent and Estoppel").
Each Seller shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to promptly obtain such a
Lessor Consent and Estoppel, completed and duly executed by such lessor or
master lessor, on or prior to the Due Diligence Deadline. To the extent that a
lessor or master lessor fails or refuses to deliver such a Lessor Consent and
Estoppel, each Seller shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to obtain a lessor
consent and estoppel as similar as reasonably possible to the Lessor Consent and
Estoppel requested.

        (b)   Sellers and Buyer agree to pay to each such lessor or master
lessor any fee, cost or expense (including attorneys' fees of such lessor or
master lessor) to which such lessor or master lessor is entitled under the
Assigned Lease or master lease, as the case may be, within the time and in the
manner provided in the Assigned Lease or master lease. The applicable Seller and
Buyer agree to equally share any such fee, cost or expense for amounts up to
$500 per Assigned

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lease; provided, that, if such fee, cost or expense exceeds $500 per Assigned
Lease, then such Seller shall pay the excess. The parties shall not be obligated
to pay any such fee, cost or expense unless the Assigned Lease provides for such
payment by its written terms.

        (c)   If a lessor or master lessor requests that Buyer or Seller, or
both, execute a written instrument (other than this Agreement and the related
Lease Assignment and Assumption in the form attached hereto) relating to the
assumption or allocation of the lessee's obligations or liabilities under the
Assigned Lease, and if Buyer or Seller, or both, execute such instrument, then
the parties agree that such instrument shall be solely for the benefit of such
lessor or master lessor, and shall not be enforceable by any person other than
such lessor or master lessor, it being the intention of the parties that the
assumption and allocation of the lessee's obligations and liabilities under the
Assigned Leases shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement, and the
related Lease Assignment and Assumption in the form attached hereto.

        (d)   Within 5 calendar days of receipt by any Seller of any consent or
estoppel executed by any such lessor or master lessor, Sellers shall deliver a
true and complete copy thereof to Buyer. Buyer may refuse to approve a lessor
consent or estoppel on any reasonable grounds, including without limitation
inconsistency, if any, between the facts set forth therein and the facts set
forth on Schedule 3.6(d). Except as set forth in Section 5.10, Buyer shall not
be obligated to obtain any releases of any guaranties given by any Person who is
an Affiliate of a Seller, to furnish any guaranties, additional deposits,
letters of credit or other security for performance of the lessee's obligations
under any of the Assigned Leases. Upon written approval by Buyer of any such
consent and estoppel, in whatever form, such consent and estoppel shall be
deemed the "Lessor Consent and Estoppel" with respect to such Assigned Lease. If
a Seller fully complies with its covenants in this Section 2.12, but is not able
to deliver a consent and estoppel in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer
within the time or in the manner set forth herein, then such Seller shall not be
liable for Damages for the non-delivery of such consent and estoppel.

        (e)   With respect to each of the Assigned Leases which are Related
Party Contracts, Sellers shall within 10 calendar days after the date hereof
cause the lessor thereunder to execute and deliver an estoppel and consent in
the form of Exhibit 2.12(b) attached hereto (the "Related Party Lessor Consent
and Estoppel"). Sellers shall pay to each such lessor any fee, cost or expense
(including attorneys' fees) to which such lessor is entitled under the Assigned
Lease within the time and in the manner provided in the Assigned Lease. Sellers
shall not be obligated to pay any such fee, cost or expense unless the Assigned
Lease provides for such payment by its written terms. Buyer may refuse to
approve a Related Party Lessor Consent and Estoppel on any reasonable grounds,
including without limitation inconsistency, if any, between the facts set forth
therein and the facts set forth on Schedule 3.6(d).

        (f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12,
the Lessor Consent and Estoppel for Windward Stadium 10 shall be deemed to be a
failure to meet the condition set forth in Section 7.10 if such Lessor Consent
and Estoppel does not contain an agreement from the landlord that the fixed rent
payable by tenant thereunder shall not be increased pursuant to Article 15
thereof.

        (g)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, the
Lessor Consent and Estoppel for the Holiday Cinemas 8 (Stockton, California)
shall be deemed to be a failure to meet the condition set forth in Section 7.10
if such Lessor Consent and Estoppel does not contain an agreement from the
landlord that Buyer or its permitted assignee has no obligation and shall not be
in default under the related lease with respect to the non-payment of percentage
rent that otherwise might be payable under such lease with respect to any period
prior to Closing.

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        2.13.    REA Estoppels and DDA Consents    

        (a)   With respect to each REA relating to the Leased Real Property or
the Purchased Real Property the applicable Seller shall promptly after the date
hereof request that the other party or parties thereto execute estoppels with
respect to such REA in the form, if any contemplated by such REA. Each Seller
shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to promptly obtain such an estoppel,
completed and duly executed by such party or parties, on or prior to the Due
Diligence Deadline. If an REA does not contemplate estoppels, then the
applicable Seller shall have no obligation to seek or obtain estoppels with
respect to such REA. The applicable Seller and Buyer shall pay to each such
party or parties any reasonable fee, cost or expense (including attorneys' fees
of such party or parties) to which such party or parties are entitled under the
REA, within the time and in the manner provided in the REA. The applicable
Seller and Buyer agree to equally share any such fee, cost or expense for
amounts up to $500 per REA; provided, that, if such fee, cost or expense exceeds
$500 per REA, then such Seller shall pay the excess. The parties shall not be
obligated to pay any such fee, cost or expense unless the REA provides for such
payment by its written terms. Within 5 calendar days of receipt by any Seller of
any such estoppel executed by any such party, such Seller shall deliver a true
and complete copy thereof to Buyer.

        (b)   With respect to each DDA pursuant to which a Seller is acting as
developer, the applicable Seller shall promptly after the date hereof request
that the government agency that is party thereto execute a consent to assignment
by such Seller to Buyer of the DDA, the rights thereunder and of the related
Assigned Lease. Each Seller shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to promptly
obtain such consent, completed and duly executed by such agency, on or prior to
the Due Diligence Deadline. Within 5 calendar days of receipt by any Seller of
any such consent executed by any such agency, such Seller shall deliver a true
and complete copy thereof to Buyer. If a Seller fully complies with its
covenants in this Section 2.13, but is not able to deliver an estoppel or
consent in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer within the time or in the
manner set forth herein, then such Seller shall not be liable for Damages to
Buyer for the non-delivery of such estoppel or consent.

        2.14.    SNDAs    

        With respect to each of the Assigned Leases which is a sublease, if any,
the applicable Seller shall promptly after the date hereof request that each
master lessor execute a non-disturbance agreement in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Buyer; provided that such Seller shall have no
obligation to request any such non-disturbance agreement (a) from any master
lessor that has previously executed such a non-disturbance agreement which is
assignable by such Seller to Buyer or (b) with respect to any master lease that
expressly provides for non-disturbance of any subleasehold, upon the termination
of the superior lease, so long as the sublessee attorns to the superior lessor
and is not then in default, on terms and conditions that are reasonably

        (k)   Schedule 3.12(k) lists all funded Welfare Plans that provide
benefits to current or former employees of Seller. The funding under each

Contemplated Transactions will not accelerate the time of vesting or the time of
payment, or increase the amount, of compensation due to any director, employee,
officer, former employee or former officer of Seller. There are no contracts or
arrangements providing for payments that could subject any person to liability
for tax under Code Section 4999.

        (m)  Except for the continuation coverage requirements of COBRA, Seller
has no obligations or potential liability for benefits to employees, former
employees or their respective dependents following termination of employment or

(10) days after the end of each month and within forty-five (45) days after the
end of each fiscal quarter a copy of the financial statements for such month and
fiscal quarter, respectively. Such financial statements and the deliveries under
Section 2.8 shall be prepared in a manner and containing information consistent
with such Seller's current practices and certified by such Seller's chief
financial officer as to compliance of such financial statements with the third,
fourth and fifth sentences of Section 3.4.

        5.8.    Payment of Liabilities    

        Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, each Seller shall pay or
otherwise satisfy in the Ordinary Course of Business all of its Liabilities and
obligations which become due and payable.

        5.9.    Current Evidence of Title    

        (a)   As soon as is reasonably possible, the parties shall cause to be
furnished to Buyer, at Sellers' expense, preliminary title reports issued by the
Title Company for each of the leasehold estates under the Assigned Leases and
for the Purchased Real Property, together with complete and legible copies of
all recorded documents appearing as exceptions thereon. As soon as reasonably
possible, Sellers shall cause to be furnished to Buyer, at Sellers' expense,
(i) true and complete copies of all policies of title insurance previously
obtained by the applicable Seller with respect to the Assigned Leases, the
Leased Real Property, the Purchased Real Property or any portion thereof, which
are in Seller's Possession, and (ii) true and complete copies of all boundary,
land or ALTA surveys, if any, of the Purchased Real Property or the Leased Real
Property, or any portion thereof, in Seller's Possession.

        (A)  Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, at Buyer's sole
cost and expense, to cause to be furnished to the Title Company a current survey
of all or any portion of the Leased Real Property and the Purchased Real
Property, or a current update of a pre-existing survey.

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        (B)  On or before the Due Diligence Deadline, Buyer shall deliver to
Sellers a written notice setting forth its objections, if any, to the exceptions
to title reflected therein or in the updated surveys (the "Disapproved
Exceptions"). At or prior to Closing, Sellers shall cause the removal of all
voluntary monetary liens, all involuntary monetary liens which exist to Seller's
Knowledge as of the date hereof and all other involuntary monetary liens having
a face amount of less than $1,000,000 individually, provided that Seller shall
only be obligated to discharge such voluntary and involuntary liens to the
extent attributable to an act or omission of the applicable Seller or persons
claiming under or through such Seller (as distinct from such Seller's lessor or
master lessor, as applicable), and provided further that Seller shall not be
obligated to discharge the liens of real property taxes and assessments that are
not yet delinquent, such taxes being prorated pursuant to this Agreement.
Sellers shall make Reasonable Best Efforts to remove all other Disapproved
Exceptions that are reasonably disapproved by Buyer, but Seller shall not be
required to incur any substantial costs or to institute litigation in connection
therewith. Such removal may be by way of deletion of the exception or by
endorsement over the exception by the Title Company (and may be accomplished by
the Sellers by bonding) in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer. If any new
exception shall appear in any supplement to the Title Documents and if such new
exception existed prior to the date hereof but was not disclosed in the Title
Documents, then Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to such
exception within five (5) Business Days after Buyer's receipt of such
supplement, and such exception shall thereafter be a Disapproved Exception. If
such new exception did not exist prior to the date hereof, then Sellers shall
promptly (but not later than Closing) remove such exception to Buyer's
satisfaction subject to the limitations set forth above on Sellers' removal
obligations respecting involuntary monetary liens, and provided Sellers shall
have no obligation to remove new exceptions caused by the acts or omissions of
Buyer or its Representatives. If Sellers fail to cause the removal of any
exception which Sellers are obligated by this paragraph to remove, then Buyer's
election to close shall not constitute a waiver of Buyer's rights hereunder,
which shall survive Closing.

        (C)  As contemplated by Section 7.7, it shall be a condition to Buyer's
obligation to close that Title Company be unconditionally committed at Closing,
subject only to the payment of the applicable premium, to issue policies of
title insurance with respect to each of the Assigned Leases and the Purchased
Real Property in amounts reasonably acceptable to Buyer and the Title Company
(but in no event shall the aggregate amount exceed the Purchase Price), naming
Buyer as insured and, if requested, Buyer's lender as insured, and containing no
exceptions other than those which Buyer has approved in writing pursuant to
Section 5.9(a). The Title Policies for the Assigned Leases naming Buyer as
insured shall be the ALTA Extended Coverage Leasehold Owner's Policy of Title
Insurance—1970 Form and the Title Policies for the Assigned Leases naming
Buyer's lender as insured shall be the ALTA Extended Coverage Leasehold Lender's
Policy of Title Insurance—1970 Form, if and so long as Buyer obtains Title
Company's written commitment prior to the Due Diligence Deadline to issue such
forms, otherwise Buyer shall accept the corresponding current ALTA form
policies. The Title Policies for the Purchased Real Property naming Buyer as
insured shall be the ALTA Extended Coverage Owner's Policy of Title
Insurance—1970 Form and the Title Policies for the Purchased Real Property
naming Buyer's lender as insured shall be the ALTA Extended Coverage Lender's
Policy of Title Insurance—1970 Form if and so long as Buyer obtains Title
Company's written commitment prior to the Due Diligence Deadline to issue such
forms, otherwise Buyer shall accept the corresponding current ALTA form policies

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        (b)   Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct
complete and current searches, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, in the name of
each Seller and other appropriate parties of all Uniform Commercial Code
Financing Statements records maintained by the Secretary of State of the state
in which the applicable Seller is organized, the state in which such Seller
maintains its principal place of business, each jurisdiction in which a filing
would be required in order to perfect a security interest in the Purchased
Assets, the clerk or recorder of deeds (or other governmental office where real
property documents are filed for recording) of each county in which any Assigned
Lease is located and wherever else a Seller or Buyer, based upon its
investigation, is aware that a Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement has
been filed. Prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer releases,
termination statements and other documents as may be necessary to provide
reasonable evidence that all items of intangible personal property, Tangible
Personal Property and fixtures to be sold under this Agreement are free and
clear of Encumbrances, other than as permitted under this Agreement.

        (c)   On or before the Due Diligence Deadline, Buyer shall deliver to
Seller a written notice setting forth its objections, if any, to the physical
condition of the Leased Real Property and the Purchased Real Property. Seller
shall use Reasonable Best Efforts to cure each such objection to Buyer's
reasonable satisfaction on or before the Closing Deadline; provided however,
that Sellers shall not be required to spend more than $25,000 to cure any
individual objection, or $500,000 in the aggregate to cure all such objections.

        (d)   Nothing herein waives Buyer's right to claim a right to
indemnification as provided in Section 11.2 if Buyer suffers Damages as a result
of any breach by any Seller of any express representation by such Seller set
forth in this Agreement with respect to the condition of title to the Leased
Real Property and the Purchased Real Property.

        5.10.    Affiliate Guarantors    

        Buyer and Sellers shall use their Reasonable Best Efforts to assist the
Affiliate Guarantors in securing the release of the Affiliate Guarantors from
their respective obligations under the affiliate guarantees of the Assigned
Leases set forth in Schedule 5.10 ("Affiliate Guarantees"). Such Reasonable Best
Efforts of Buyer shall include Buyer's offer to provide a lease guaranty on
terms substantially equivalent to the Affiliate Guarantee. In the event that
such an Affiliate Guarantee is not released, then Buyer shall indemnify the
corresponding Affiliate Guarantor for Damages incurred by such Affiliate
Guarantor that constitute an Assumed Liability to the extent incurred with
respect to the related Affiliate Guarantee in the same manner that Buyer
indemnifies a Seller for Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Article 11. Only for
the purposes of the foregoing indemnity as between Buyer and an Affiliate
Guarantor, (a) a Predecessor Tenant shall be considered an Affiliate Guarantor
and (b) the applicable Affiliate Guarantor shall have the same rights and
procedural obligations as those of a Seller under Article 11.

6.     COVENANTS OF BUYER PRIOR TO CLOSING

        6.1.    Required Approvals    

        As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall
make, or cause to be made, all filings required by Legal Requirements (including
all filings under the HSR Act) to be made by it to consummate the Contemplated
Transactions. Buyer also shall cooperate, and cause its Representatives and
Affiliates to cooperate, with each Seller (a) with respect to all filings each
Seller shall be required by Legal Requirements to make and (b) in obtaining all
Consents identified in Schedule 3.2(c), provided, however, that Buyer shall not
be required to dispose of or make any change to its business, expend any
material funds or incur any other burden in order to comply with this
Section 6.1.

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        6.2.    Reasonable Best Efforts    

        Buyer shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to cause the conditions in
Article 8 to be satisfied by the Scheduled Closing Date.

        6.3.    Notification    

        Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Buyer shall promptly
notify each Seller in writing if it becomes aware of (a) any fact or condition
that causes or constitutes a breach of its representations and warranties made
as of the date of this Agreement or (b) the occurrence after the date of this
Agreement of any fact or condition that would or be reasonably likely to (except
as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any
such representation or warranty had that representation or warranty been made as
of the time of the occurrence of, or Buyer's discovery of, such fact or
condition. Should any such fact or condition require any change to the
Disclosure Schedule, Buyer shall promptly deliver to each Seller a supplement to
the Disclosure Schedule specifying such change. Such delivery shall not be
deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedule or prevent or cure any
breach or affect any rights of a Seller under Article 8, Article 9 and
Article 11. During the same period, Buyer also shall promptly notify each Seller
of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of Buyer in this Article 6 or of
the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in
Article 8 impossible or unlikely.

7.     CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO BUYER'S OBLIGATION TO CLOSE

        Buyer's obligation to purchase the Purchased Assets and to take the
other actions required to be taken by Buyer at the Closing is subject to the
satisfaction, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions
(any of which may be waived by Buyer, in whole or in part):

(considered collectively), and each of these representations and warranties

representations and warranties are qualified by the term "material," "Material
Adverse Effect" or similar qualification in which case such representations and
warranties (as so written, including the term "material", "Material Adverse
Effect" or such similar qualification) shall be true and correct in all respects
at and as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, in all cases
without giving effect to any supplement to the Disclosure Schedule. If Damages
for a breach or breaches of such representations and warranties exceed
$1,000,000 individually or in the aggregate, such breach or breaches shall be
deemed to be a failure of the condition precedent set forth in this Section 7.1.

        7.2.    Seller's Performance    

        All of the covenants and obligations that each Seller is required to
perform or to comply with pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to the Closing

Transactions will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of
time), contravene or conflict with or result in a violation of or cause Buyer or
any Affiliate of Buyer to suffer any adverse consequence under (a) any
applicable Legal Requirement or Order or (b) any Legal Requirement or Order that
has been published by any Governmental Body.

        7.7.    Title Insurance    

        Buyer shall have received irrevocable and binding commitments to issue
the Title Policies consistent with Section 5.9, if any, between Closing and

without any exception for matters arising due to acts or omissions of Seller (as
distinct from

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any acts or omissions of such Seller's lessor or master lessor, as applicable)
and otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller.

        7.8.    Governmental Authorizations    

        Buyer shall have received such Governmental Authorizations as are
necessary or desirable to allow Buyer to operate the Purchased Assets from and

(considered collectively), and each of these representations and warranties
(considered individually), shall have been accurate in all material respects as

correct in all respects at and as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing
Date.

        8.2.    Buyer's Performance    

        All of the covenants and obligations that Buyer is required to perform
or to comply with pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to the Closing
(considered collectively), and each of these covenants and obligations

Section 2.7(b) and the following documents to be delivered (or tendered subject
only to Closing) to Sellers, and such other documents as Sellers may reasonably

          (i)  evidencing the accuracy of any representation or warranty of

        8.5.    Merger Agreement

Merger Agreement for the acquisition of Signature Theatre Investors, LLC by

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.     TERMINATION

        9.1.    Termination Events    

        By notice given prior to or at the Closing, subject to Section 9.2, this
Agreement may be terminated as follows:

        (a)   by Buyer if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement
has been committed by a Seller and such breach has not been waived by Buyer or
cured within 10 days by the applicable Seller after written notice from Buyer of
the breach;

        (b)   by a Seller if a material breach of any provision of this
Agreement has been committed by Buyer and such breach has not been waived by
such Seller or cured within 10 days by Buyer after written notice from such
Seller of the breach;

        (c)   by either Buyer or a Seller if the Closing has not occurred (other
than through the failure of any party seeking to terminate this Agreement to
comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement) on or before the Closing
Deadline; or

        (d)   by mutual consent of Buyer and each Seller, at any time.

        9.2.    Effect of Termination    

        (a)   Each party's right of termination under Section 9.1 is in addition
to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the
exercise of such right of termination will not be an election of remedies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 9.1 by any party, such termination shall be without liability for
Damages to the other parties to this Agreement, and all obligations of all of
the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations of
the parties in the last sentence of Section 5.1(b), this Section 9.2 and
Article 12 (except for those in Section 12.5) will survive; provided, however,
that, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) and
the breach resulted from the willful and deliberate failure of any party to
fulfill a condition to the performance of the other party, or the willful and
deliberate failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement, or the willful and
deliberate breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement,
then the terminating party's (and non-terminating party's) right to pursue legal
remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

        (b)   Each of the Sellers and Buyer acknowledge that the agreements
contained in Section 9.2(a) are an integral part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Sellers
and Buyer would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if any party
initiates litigation to recover Damages from the other pursuant to the proviso
of Section 9.2(a), then the prevailing party shall be entitled to its costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with such suit,
together with interest from the date of termination of this Agreement on the
amounts owed at the "prime" rate of interest as published from time to time by
The Wall Street Journal in its "Money Rates" section of its Western Edition
newspaper in effect from time to time during such period plus two percent.

10.   ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

        10.1.    Assistance in Proceedings    

        Each Seller will reasonably cooperate with Buyer and its counsel in the
contest or defense of, and make available its personnel and provide any
testimony and access to its books and Records in connection with, any Proceeding
against Buyer after the Closing Date involving or relating to (a) any
Contemplated Transaction or (b) any action, activity, circumstance, condition,
conduct, event, fact,

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

failure to act, incident, occurrence, plan, practice, situation, status or
transaction on or before the Closing Date involving such Seller or its business.

        10.2.    Retention of and Access to Records    

        After the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain for a period consistent with
Buyer's record-retention policies and practices (but no less than five
(5) years) those Records of each Seller delivered to Buyer. Buyer also shall
provide the applicable Seller and its Representatives reasonable access thereto,
during normal business hours and on at least ten (10) days' prior written
notice, to enable them to prepare financial statements or tax returns or deal
with tax audits. After the Closing Date, each Seller shall provide Buyer and its
Representatives reasonable access to Records that are Excluded Assets, during
normal business hours and on at least ten (1) days' prior written notice, for
any reasonable business purpose necessary to the ownership or operation of the
Purchased Assets specified by Buyer in such notice.

        10.3.    Further Assurances    

        Subject to the provisos in Section 5.1 and Section 6.1, the parties
shall cooperate reasonably with each other and with their respective
Representatives in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of
their respective obligations under this Agreement, and shall (a) furnish upon
request to each other such further information; (b) execute and deliver to each
other such other documents; and (c) do such other acts and things, all as the
other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of
this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

        10.4.    Annual Passes    

        For each of the calendar years 2005 through and ending with calendar
year 2014, Buyer shall provide Signature (through Philip Harris &
Associates, Inc.) with a total of 25 annual passes for free admission to any
motion picture theatre operated by Buyer.

11.   INDEMNIFICATION; REMEDIES

        11.1.    Survival and Materiality    

        (a)   All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this
Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, the supplements to the Disclosure Schedule,
the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 2.7 and any other certificate or
document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, subject to Section 11.6.

          (i)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there is or are
any breach or breaches of the representations and warranties of Sellers that
become known to Buyer prior to Closing based upon supplements to the Disclosure
Schedules or through Buyer's exercise of its rights under Section 5.1 ("Known
Breaches") and (A) the Damages related to such Known Breaches are less than or
equal to $1,000,000, then Buyer may elect to proceed to Closing and the amount
by which the Damages related to such Known Breaches are less than or equal to
$1,000,000 shall be applied against the Basket, or (B) if the Damages related to
such Known Breaches exceed $1,000,000 and Buyer elects to proceed to Closing,
then (x) Buyer shall have waived any claim for indemnification based upon the
Known Breaches to the extent that the Damages therefor exceed $1,000,000 and
(y) such claims and Damages up to $1,000,000 shall be satisfied in full by
application against the Basket so that the amount remaining in the Basket is $0.
Notices of any such claims by Buyer and disputes over the alleged amount of
Damages shall be handled as provided in the following paragraph.

         (ii)  Prior to Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a notice setting
forth the Known Breaches, together with such supplemental information as shall
be reasonably necessary or

49

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

appropriate to enable Sellers to determine the accuracy thereof ("Breach
Notice"). The Breach Notice shall be based upon the most current and reliable
information reasonably available to Buyer at the time of its delivery. Within 2
Business Days after receipt of the Breach Notice, a Seller shall notify the
Buyer in writing whether such Seller disapproves of the Breach Notice. If a
Seller disputes the Breach Notice, or fails to notify Buyer of its disapproval
in the manner and within the time specified above, then the Breach Notice shall
be as delivered to Seller. If a Seller disapproves a Breach Notice, then such
Seller and Buyer shall use their Reasonable Best Efforts for a period of 5
Business Days to agree to the Breach Notice, and the Breach Notice shall be
amended accordingly. If a Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon the Breach Notice,
then the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers, or its successor, is
designated to act as sole arbitrator and to decide all points of disagreement
with respect to the Breach Notice, such decision to be binding on both parties.
If such firm is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity, the Seller and
Buyer shall use Reasonable Best Efforts to designate and retain another mutually
acceptable nationally-recognized accounting firm not retained for general audit
purposes by either of them as the sole arbitrator under this
Section 11.2(a)(ii). The costs and expenses of the arbitrator, whether the firm
designated above, or otherwise designated, shall be shared equally by the
applicable Seller and Buyer and in the event that all Sellers object, then
Sellers' aggregate share of the costs and expenses of the arbitrator shall be
fifty percent.

        (b)   For purposes of determining whether there has been any such
misrepresentation or breach of warranty pursuant to this Article 11 and for
purposes of calculating the amount of Damages arising therefrom, the
representations and warranties of Sellers and Buyer shall be deemed not to be
qualified by any concept of "material", "Material Adverse Effect" or similar
qualification.

        11.2.    Indemnification and Reimbursement By Sellers    

        Sellers, severally based upon such Seller's respective percentage
allocation of the Purchase Price and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold
harmless Buyer, and its Representatives, and Affiliates (collectively, the
"Buyer Indemnified Persons"), and will reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Persons
for any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense (including costs of
investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) or
diminution of value, whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim (but excluding
any Damages not involving a Third-Party Claim based on lost profits,
consequential or punitive damages) (collectively, "Damages"), arising from or in

        11.4.    Limitations on Amount—Sellers

otherwise) with respect to claims under Section 11.2(a) and 11.2(b) until the

for the amount by which such Damages exceed $722,517.

        (b)   Turlock shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise)

        (d)   The aggregate sum of the amounts in Sections 11.4(a), (b) and

11.4(a), (b) and (c) will not apply to (i) claims under Section 11.2(c) and
11.2(d), (ii) to matters arising in respect of Sections 2.4(b), 2.8, 3.2,
3.6(h), 3.10, 3.20 or 12.1, (iii) a breach of this Article 11 or (iv) a Seller's

        11.5.    Limitations on Amount—Buyer

(ii) matters arising in respect of Section 2.4(a), 2.8, the last sentence of

        11.6.    Time Limitations    

        (a)   If the Closing occurs, a Seller will have liability (for
indemnification or otherwise) with respect to Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b)
only if on or before the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer
notifies such Seller of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in

51

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer. However, the limitation of
the preceding sentence of this Section 11.6(a) will not apply to a Seller's
fraud.

        (b)   If the Closing occurs, Buyer will have liability (for
indemnification or otherwise) with respect to Section 11.3(a) or Section 11.3(b)
only if on or before the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, a Seller
notifies Buyer of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in
reasonable detail to the extent then known by such Seller. However, the
limitation of the preceding sentence of this Section 11.6(b) will not apply to
Buyer's fraud.

        11.7.    Remedy    

        Subject to Section 9.2(a), the provisions of this Article 11 shall
provide the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy of Buyer with respect to any
claims made or with respect to which indemnification may be sought under
Section 11.2(a) through 11.2(d). Subject to Section 9.2(a), the provisions of
this Article 11 shall provide the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy of
Sellers with respect to any claims made or with respect to which indemnification
may be sought under Section 11.3(a) through 11.3(d).

        11.8.    Third-Party Claims    

        (a)   Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under
Section 11.2 or 11.3 (an "Indemnified Person") of notice of the assertion of a
Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice (a
"Claim Notice") to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an
"Indemnifying Person") of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that
the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying
Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such
Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person's failure to give such
notice.

        (b)   The Indemnifying Person shall have ten (10) days after receipt of
the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Person (i) whether or not the
Indemnifying Person disputes its liability to the Indemnified Person with
respect to such claim, and (ii) notwithstanding such dispute, whether or not the
Indemnifying Person desires to defend the Indemnified Person against such claim.

        (c)   If the Indemnifying Person does not elect to assume the defense of
such claim, the Indemnified Person may engage counsel of its choosing and
proceed to defend the claim and reserve its right to recover its Damages from
the Indemnifying Person if the latter wrongfully refused to defend such claim.
Any action by Indemnified Person against Indemnifying Person for wrongful
refusal to defend shall be brought within the applicable period of limitations
under applicable state law.

        (d)   If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person
pursuant to Article 11 of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim
and, if it so elects (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person
against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines
in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the
Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified
Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide
indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), the Indemnifying Person
may assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel of its own
choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice
from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume
the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so
long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person
under this Article 11 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with
respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently
incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-

52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying
Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (A) such assumption shall not
constitute an admission by the Indemnifying Person that the claims made in that
Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and
(B) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by
the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person's Consent unless:
(I) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or
any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Person; (II) the
sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the
Indemnifying Person; and (III) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability
with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims effected
without its Consent.

        (e)   Except where the Indemnifying Person (i) timely elects to defend
the Indemnified Person (in which case Section 11.8(d) shall govern), or (ii) the
Indemnifying Person disputes its liability in a timely manner, the Indemnifying
Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any
compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person, subject to their
respective limits on indemnification under Sections 11.4 and 11.5.

        (f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person
determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a
Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a
result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying
Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such
Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any
determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this
Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which
may not be unreasonably withheld).

        (g)   With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification
under this Article 11 (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying
Person, shall keep the other Person reasonably informed of the status of such
Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such
Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree (each
at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may
reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other
in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

        (h)   With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification
under this Article 11, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to
preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all
Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In
connection therewith, each party agrees that (i) it will use its Reasonable Best
Efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or
participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information
(consistent with applicable Legal Requirements and rules of procedure), and
(ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or
participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent
possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or
work-product privilege.

        11.9.    Other Claims    

        A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party
Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought
and shall be paid promptly after such notice.

        11.10.    Released Claims    

        Buyer agrees not to assert any claims against Sellers (whether by way of
demand, suit, cross-complaint, impleader or otherwise) and covenants not to sue
Sellers for Damages with respect to the Released Claims and, as between Buyer
and Sellers, releases Sellers from any Liability with respect thereto.

53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        11.11.    Title Insurance    

        As between Buyer and Sellers, Buyer agrees that Buyer's sole recourse
respecting any Subject To Liabilities shall be against the Title Company under
the Title Policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Buyer has
recourse against Persons other than Sellers with respect to the Subject To
Liabilities nothing herein shall prevent Buyer from pursuing such remedies. The
provisions of this Section 11.11 shall survive the delivery of and shall not
merge into the Grant Deed delivered to Buyer at Closing respecting the Purchased
Real Property.

12.   GENERAL PROVISIONS

        12.1.    Expenses    

        Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party to this
Agreement will bear its respective fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and
the Contemplated Transactions, including all fees and expense of its
Representatives. At Closing, Sellers shall pay (a) fees for recording of the
reconveyances, the memoranda of lease and Lease Assignments and Assumptions and
(b) documentary transfer taxes. At Closing, Buyer and the applicable Seller
shall share equally that portion of the title premiums for the Title Policies
equivalent to the basic premium that would have been payable for standard CLTA
coverage ("Sellers' Premium Portion"). At Closing, Buyer shall pay (i) fees for
recording of the SNDAs and NDAs; (ii) premiums for the Title Policies in excess
of the Sellers' Premium Portion including, without limitation, the difference
between standard coverage and extended coverage, the additional premiums if any
attributable to the issuance of the lender's policies, and the additional
premiums if any attributable to the issuance of any endorsements to the owner's
or lender's policies; and (iii) the penalty payable in connection with election
not to file preliminary change of ownership reports in California. Buyer will
pay one-half and the Seller will pay one-half of (A) the HSR Act filing fee;
(B) the fees and expenses of the Closing Escrow Holder under this Agreement;
(C) the Holdback Escrow Agent under the Holdback Escrow Agreement; provided that
the HSR Act filing fee will be paid by Buyer and Sellers at the time of the
filing of the HSR Act filing and not through the Closing Escrow Holder and the
fees payable under the Holdback Escrow Agreement shall be paid to the Holdback
Escrow Agent pursuant to the Holdback Escrow Agreement. If this Agreement is
terminated, the obligation of each party to pay its own fees and expenses will
be subject to any rights of such party arising from a breach of this Agreement
by another party.

        12.2.    Public Announcements; Confidentiality    

        (a)   Any public announcement, press release or similar publicity with
respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions will be issued, if at
all, at such time and in such manner as the parties mutually agree, subject to
any Legal Requirement applicable to Buyer or Sellers. Except with the prior
consent of the other parties or as permitted by this Agreement, neither Buyer,
Seller nor any of their respective Representatives shall disclose to any Person
(i) the fact that any Confidential Information of Sellers has been disclosed to
Buyer or its Representatives, that Buyer or its Representatives have inspected
any portion of the Confidential Information of Sellers or (ii) any information
about the Contemplated Transactions, including the status of such discussions or
negotiations, the execution of any documents (including this Agreement) or any
of the terms of the Contemplated Transactions or the related documents
(including this Agreement). Sellers and Buyer will consult with each other
concerning the means by which the employees, customers, suppliers and others
having dealings with Sellers will be informed of the Contemplated Transactions,
and Buyer will have the right to be present for any such communication through
one of its Representatives.

        (b)   Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that they entered into a letter
agreement dated May 17, 2002 regarding confidentiality and non-disclosure of
certain information regarding Sellers and their

54

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

business in connection with a possible transaction among the parties (the "2002
Agreement"). Buyer and Sellers hereby agree that the terms and provisions of the
2002 Agreement shall apply to the Contemplated Transactions and, consequently,
hereby reinstate such terms and provisions and incorporate them herein by this
reference for a term of one year from the later of the Agreement Date or the
date on which this Agreement is terminated under Section 9.1; provided that
Buyer's obligations to maintain the confidentiality of Information (as defined
in the 2002 Agreement) comprising Purchased Assets shall terminate effective
upon consummation of the Contemplated Transactions on the Closing Date. This
Section 12.2(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

        12.3.    Notices    

        All notices, consents, waivers and other communications required or
permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given to a
party when (a) delivered to the appropriate address by hand or by
nationally-recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid); (b) sent by
facsimile or e-mail with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting
equipment; or (c) received or rejected by the addressee, if sent by certified

        12.4.    Jurisdiction; Service of Process    

        Any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
Contemplated Transaction may be brought in the federal or state courts of the
State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of each such court in any such Proceeding, and waives any objection
it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum. The parties
agree that any of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as
written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the
parties irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to convenience of forum.
Process in any Proceeding referred to in the first sentence of this section may
be served on any party anywhere in the world.

        12.5.    Enforcement of Agreement    

        Sellers acknowledge and agree that Buyer would be irreparably damaged if
any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its
specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by Sellers could not be
adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in
addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyer may be entitled, at law or
in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a
decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the
provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

        12.6.    Waiver; Remedies Cumulative    

        The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative
and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the
documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right,
power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power
or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or
privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this
Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be
discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the
claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that
may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for
which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to
be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving
such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as
provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

        12.7.    Entire Agreement and Modification    

        This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral,
between the parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along
with the Disclosure Schedule, Exhibits and other documents delivered pursuant to
this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement
between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not
be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by a written agreement
executed by the party to be charged with the amendment. Notwithstanding anything
contrary in this Agreement, all Related Party Contracts between an Affiliate of
a Seller and Buyer and/or an Affiliate of Buyer shall be governed by the terms
of the Related Party Contract as between those parties.

        12.8.    Disclosure Schedule    

        (a)   The information in the Disclosure Schedule constitutes
(i) exceptions to particular representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations of Sellers as set forth in this Agreement or (ii) descriptions or
lists of assets and liabilities and other items referred to in this Agreement.
If there is any inconsistency between the statements in this Agreement and those
in the Disclosure

57

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schedule (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure
Schedule with respect to a specifically identified representation or warranty),
the statements in this Agreement will control.

        (b)   The statements in the Disclosure Schedule, and those in any
supplement thereto, relate only to the provisions in the Section of this
Agreement to which they expressly relate and not to any other provision in this
Agreement.

        12.9.    Assignments, Successors and No Third-Party Rights; Several
Liability    

        No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties,
except that Buyer may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its
obligations under this Agreement to any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates;
provided that Regal Cinemas, Inc. shall remain jointly and severally liable with
such assignee for the payment of the Purchase Price hereunder and for the
payment and performance of all of its indemnity obligations under Article 11
hereof. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be
binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and
permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this
Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this
Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to
this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall
inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 12.9 and to
the Affiliate Guarantors pursuant to Section 5.10 in which respect such
Affiliate Guarantors are intended third-party beneficiaries of the agreements
set forth in Section 5.10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the obligations of each Seller under this Agreement are several and
not joint with those of the other Seller; each Seller shall have responsibility
only for the representations, warranties and covenants given and made with
respect to itself under this Agreement, and such Seller shall not be responsible
or liable (for indemnification or otherwise) for breaches by the other Seller of
such other Seller's own representations, warranties or covenants under this
Agreement.

        12.10.    Desert Representative    

        As of the Effective Time, Desert hereby irrevocably appoints Philip
Harris III as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent on behalf of and in
the name of Desert for the purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and
any other agreements executed by Desert in connection with the Closing (the
"Desert Representative"). From and after the Effective Time, the Desert
Representative shall receive written notices for the Desert under this
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements executed by Desert in
connection with the Closing (collectively, "Desert Documents") and shall have
full power and authority to represent all Persons who as of the Closing Date
directly or indirectly through Signature Theatre Investors, LLC ("STI") hold
equity interests in Desert ("Affected Persons"), with respect to all matters
arising under the Desert Documents, and all action taken by the Desert
Representative hereunder, pursuant to authority granted herein, shall be binding
upon Desert and the Affected Persons. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, with respect to all matters under this Agreement, the Desert
Representative shall have full power and authority, on behalf of Desert and the
Affected Persons, to interpret all the terms and provisions of the Desert
Documents, to negotiate and compromise any dispute which may arise under the
Desert Documents, to sign any releases or other documents with respect to any
such dispute, to authorize payments to be made with respect thereto, and to
retain such counsel and consultants as appropriate and necessary to carry out
its duties. The Desert Representative, or any successor hereafter appointed, may
resign and shall be discharged of his duties hereunder upon the appointment of a
successor Desert Representative as hereinafter provided. In case of such
resignation, or in the event of the death or inability to act of the Desert
Representative, a successor shall be named by the prior Desert Representative or
by the holders of a majority of the interests of the Affected Persons (as
determined immediately prior to the Closing). Each such successor Desert
Representative shall, after

58

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

agreeing to become a party hereto by signing a counterpart signature page as the
Desert Representative, have all the power, authority, rights, and privileges
hereby conferred upon an original Desert Representative, and the term "Desert
Representative" as used herein shall be deemed to include each such successor
Desert Representative. The power-of-attorney granted in this Section 12.10 is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The other Parties hereto shall be
entitled to rely exclusively upon any communication given or other action taken
by the Desert Representative pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken in reliance on a communication or other
instruction from the Desert Representative. Consistent with the foregoing, it is
understood and agreed that in the event after the Closing Date, Buyer or one or
more of its Affiliates acquires STI, the sole member of Desert (through merger
or otherwise), then neither Buyer nor any such Affiliate shall be deemed to be a
successor of Desert for purposes of this Section 12.10, nor shall Buyer or any
such Affiliate succeed to any rights of Desert under this Agreement or right of
representation by the Desert Representative.

        12.11.    Severability    

        If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by
any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or
unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the
extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

        12.12.    Construction    

        The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for
convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All
references to "Articles," "Sections" and "Schedules" refer to the corresponding
Articles, Sections and Schedules of this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule.

        12.13.    Governing Law    

        This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of the
State of Delaware without regard to conflicts-of-laws principles that would
require the application of any other law.
