3.   DUTIES OF MANAGER.
     -----------------

     3.1  Management.  Manager agrees to use reasonable efforts in the exercise
          ----------
of the powers conferred and assumed in Section 2.1 hereof and in the operation,
management and maintenance of the Designated Cinemas in accordance with this
Agreement.

     3.2  Accounting.
          ----------

          (a) Manager shall maintain books of account based upon its ordinary
accounting practices at its offices in Los Angeles, California, with respect to
the Designated Cinemas.  Said books of account shall be available to properly
authorized representatives and agents of Owner during all reasonable business
hours upon reasonable notice.  Manager shall furnish Owner with a monthly profit
and loss statement in a form normally and customarily used by Manager, which
form shall show all receipts and estimated expenses of each Designated Cinema
for the preceding month, and shall furnish Owner with weekly reports of "Gross
Income" (as hereinafter defined) after the close of each week.  Manager shall
retain all original statements and invoices for the expenses of the Designated
Cinemas for a period of at least two (2) years and such statements shall be
available to Owner during all reasonable business hours upon reasonable notice.

          (b) As soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45)
days of the end of each calendar year, Manager shall prepare and furnish to
Owner a profit and loss statement based upon generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied which shall show the Gross Income and actual
expenses of each Designated Cinema for the immediately preceding calendar year.
Manager understands that Owner's affiliate, Reading Entertainment, Inc., will
use such information in the preparation of its annual audited financial
statements and agrees to cooperate fully with Reading Entertainment's
independent public accountants in the preparation of such audited financial
statements.  Similar information will be provided quarterly by Manager within
twenty-five (25) days after the end of each of the first three calendar quarters
of each calendar year.

     3.3  Bank Account.
          ------------

          (a) Manager shall cause a bank account or bank accounts (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Bank Account") to be opened and maintained
separate and apart from all other bank accounts of Manager for the sole purpose
of handling transactions under this Agreement.  All receipts from the operation
of the Designated Cinemas shall be deposited in the Bank Account, and all
payments of costs, expenses and charges to be made by Manager under this
Agreement (including the remuneration to be paid Manager as hereinafter
provided) shall be paid out of the Bank Account.  In the event the balance in
the Bank Account is insufficient to enable Manager to meet the obligations
incurred or accrued pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement as they mature,
Owner, within five (5) days following receipt of a request from Manager, shall
furnish such additional sums to Manager as Manager may reasonably require in
order to enable Manager to meet said obligations as they mature.  Manager shall
have the right, but shall not be obligated, to advance on behalf of Owner, upon
the failure of Owner to timely provide such sums, the amounts which Manager
requires for such purposes.  Manager is hereby authorized at any time, in the
event of such advances by it, to withdraw from the Bank Account, after five (5)
days notice to Owner, sufficient sums to repay itself with interest thereon at
the fluctuating rate equal to the discount rate announced from time to time by
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, plus 200 basis points, or the maximum
amount allowed by law, whichever is less (the "Agreement Rate").  The Bank
Account will be the property of the Owner. Any check of more than $50,000 (other
than regularly scheduled periodic payments such as rent) shall be subject to the
written authorization of Robert Smerling or, in his absence another designee
acceptable to Owner.

          (b) All withdrawals from the Bank Account shall be made by checks
signed by the authorized signatories of Manager, and Manager will furnish to
Owner, within thirty (30) days following the expiration of each month, a
statement of the receipts and expenses of the operation of the Designated
Cinemas during such month.

          (c) As often as reasonably practicable, but in no event less than
promptly following the end of each calendar month, Manager shall remit to Owner,
from the Bank Account, the excess of moneys which were on deposit therein at the

the amount required to make the payments herein provided to be paid by or to
Manager during such month and reasonable reserves for anticipated expenses.

     7.1  Indemnification by Manager. Manager shall defend, indemnify and hold
          --------------------------
Owner harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action,
loss and liability to third parties (including all costs and reasonable
attorneys fees) arising out of or resulting from (i) breach by Manager (or
Manager's agents, employees, or subcontractors) of any of its duties or
obligations under this Agreement (except that Manager shall have no liability
for (a) failure to take any action under this Agreement that requires Owner's
prior approval or authorization, if Manager provided timely notification to
Owner that such action is necessary and Owner has refused or failed to authorize
Manager to take the same or (b) any action taken in good faith by Manager under
this Agreement (x) in what it reasonably believed to be the best interests of
Owner and consistent with the approvals or authority given to it under or
pursuant to this Agreement or (y) with Owner's knowledge or consent); or (ii)
actions taken by Manager outside the scope of this Agreement.  If under this
Section 7.1, Manager defends, indemnifies, or holds Owner harmless with respect
to an item that is covered by an insurance policy obtained in accordance with
the provisions of Subparagraph 2.1(g) hereof, then to the extent that amounts
are actually paid under such insurance policy in connection with such item, the
liability of Manager under this Section 7.1 in connection with such item shall
be reduced.

     7.2  Indemnification by Owner.  Owner shall defend, indemnify and hold
          ------------------------
Manager harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action,
loss and liability to third parties (including all costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees) arising out of or resulting from (i) damage to property, or
injury to, or death of, persons (including the property and person of the
parties hereto, and their agents, subcontractors and employees) occasioned by or

authority given to it under or pursuant to this Agreement or (y) or with Owner's
knowledge or consent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, it is understood and agreed that Owner shall advance to Manager all
costs of litigation , (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees)
and pay any judgments and/or settlements resulting from litigation in the event
that Manager is made a defendant in any litigation resulting from its activities
under this Agreement except to the extent it is ultimately determined that such
liability is the proximate result of a matter with respect to which Manager is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided that Manager undertakes to
repay such advances, together with interest, in the event it is ultimately
determined that it was not entitled to indemnification.  Interest will be
calculated at the Agreement Rate.  If, under this Section 7.2, Owner defends,
indemnifies, or holds Manager harmless with respect to an item that is covered
by an insurance policy obtained in accordance with the provisions of
Subparagraph 2.1(g) hereof, then to the extent that amounts are actually paid
under such insurance policy in connection with such item, the liability of Owner
under this Section 7.2 in connection with such item shall be reduced.

     7.3  Procedure Relative to Indemnification.
          -------------------------------------

          (a) In the event that any party hereto shall claim that it is entitled
to be indemnified pursuant to the terms of this Section 7 (the "Indemnified
Claim"), it (the "Claiming Party") shall so notify the party against which the
Indemnified Claim is made (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing of such
Indemnified Claim within ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice of such
Indemnified Claim or notice of any claim of a third party that may reasonably be
expected to result in a claim by such party (the "Third Party Claim") against
the party to which such notice is given; provided, however, that failure to give
such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except
to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a
result of such failure. Such notice shall specify the nature of the Indemnified
Claim and the liability, loss, cost or expense incurred by or imposed upon the
Claiming Party on account hereof.  If such liability, loss, cost or expense is
liquidated in amount, the notice shall so state and such amount shall be deemed
the amount of the claim of the Claiming Party.  If the amount is not liquidated,
the notice shall so state and in such event an Indemnified Claim shall be deemed
asserted against the Indemnifying Party

                                       6
<PAGE>

on behalf of the Claiming Party, but no payment shall be made on account thereof
until the amount of such Indemnified Claim is liquidated and finally determined.

          (b) The Indemnifying Party shall, upon receipt of such written notice
and at its expense, defend such Indemnified Claim in its own name or, if
necessary, in the name of the Claiming Party unless the Claiming Party
reasonably believes that its interests are adverse to those of the Indemnifying
Party in which event the Claiming Party may control its defense of the claim and
be reimbursed for its expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, as herein
provided.  The Claiming Party will cooperate with and make available to the
Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested
of it, and the Claiming Party shall have the right, at its expense (except as
provided above), to participate in the defense.  The Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to settle and compromise any Third Party Claim only with the
consent of the Claiming Party unless the settlement does not involve any
confession or other acknowledgment of wrongdoing by the Claiming Party and
provides a complete release of all Third Party Claims against it, in which event
the Claiming Party's consent shall not be required.  If the proceeding involves
a matter solely of concern to the Claiming Party in addition to the claim for
which indemnification under this Section 7 is being sought, such matter shall be
within the sole responsibility of the Claiming Party and its counsel.

          (c) In the event the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Claiming
Party that it disputes any Indemnified Claim made by the Claiming Party and/or
it shall refuse to conduct a defense against any Third Party Claim, then the
Claiming Party shall have the right to conduct a defense against such Third
Party Claim and shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third Party
Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.  Once the amount of such
claim is liquidated and the claim is finally determined, the Claiming Party
shall be entitled to pursue each and every remedy available to it at law or in
equity to enforce the indemnification provisions of this Section 7 and, in the
event it is determined, or the Indemnifying Party agrees, that it is obligated
to indemnify the Claiming Party for such Third Party and Indemnified Claim, the
Indemnifying Party agrees to pay, in addition to all damages, costs, expenses,
and fees, including all reasonable attorneys' fees which may be incurred by the
Claiming Party in attempting to enforce indemnification under this Section 7,
whether the same shall be enforced by suit or otherwise, and interest thereon at
the Agreement Rate.

     7.4  Effect of Insurance and Other Benefits.  The determination of any
          --------------------------------------
liability, claim, lien, encumbrance, charge, fine or penalty for which
indemnification may be claimed under this Section 7 shall be net of any benefit
derived and insurance proceeds received by the party bearing such liability,
claim, lien, encumbrance, charge, fine or penalty as a result thereof.
