accordance with the benefits provided to other similarly situated executive
employees of the Company. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend or

reimbursement for expenses incurred in the furtherance of the business of the
Company in accordance with the Company's practices and procedures, as they may

benefits to be provided to Executive may be paid or provided by the Company, its
successor or any other Subsidiary of the Company.

         4.       Confidential Information; Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

                  4.1      General. Executive acknowledges that during her
employment and as a result of her relationship with the Company and its
affiliates, Executive has obtained and will obtain knowledge of, and has been
given and will be given access to, information, including, but not limited to,
information regarding the business, operations, services, proposed services,
business processes, advertising, marketing and promotional plans and materials,
price lists, pricing policies, ticket sales, film licensing, purchasing, real
estate acquisition and leasing, other financial information and other trade
secrets, confidential information and proprietary material of the Company and
its affiliates or designated as being confidential by the Company or its
affiliates which are not generally known to non-Company personnel, including
information and material originated, discovered or developed in whole or in part
by Executive (collectively referred to herein as "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION").
The term "Confidential Information" does not include any information which (i)
at the time of disclosure is generally available to the public (other than as a
result of a disclosure by Executive in breach of this Agreement), or (ii) was
available to Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the
Company or its Affiliates or their representatives) that is not and was not
prohibited from disclosing such information to Executive by a contractual, legal
or fiduciary obligation. Executive agrees that during the Term and, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, thereafter, Executive will, in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of the Company and its affiliates, hold all
Confidential Information strictly in confidence and will not directly or
indirectly reveal, report, disclose, publish or transfer any of such
Confidential Information to any Person, or utilize any of the Confidential
Information for any purpose, except in furtherance of Executive's employment
under this Agreement and except to the extent that Executive may be required by
law to disclose any Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the
Company and its affiliates are providing Executive additional Confidential
Information that Executive was not given prior to execution of this Agreement,
as further consideration to Executive for executing this Agreement, including
the promises and covenants made by Executive in this Section 4.

                  4.2      Non-Competition. In further consideration of the
compensation to be paid to Executive hereunder, Executive acknowledges that
during the course of her employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, she
has, and will, become familiar with the trade secrets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries and with other Confidential Information concerning the Company and
its Subsidiaries and that her services have been and shall continue to be of
special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Therefore, Executive agrees that, during Executive's employment hereunder and
for one year after the date of termination of employment (the "NON-COMPETE
PERIOD"), she shall not directly or indirectly own any interest in, manage,
control, participate in, consult with, render services for, be employed in an
executive, managerial or administrative capacity by, or in any manner engage in,
any Competing Business. For purposes of this Agreement, "COMPETING BUSINESS"
means any business (including, to the

movie theatre within a 25-mile radius (if such theatre is outside of a Major
DMA) or a 10-mile radius (if such theatre is within a Major DMA) of any theatre
(i) being operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during Executive's
employment hereunder (but excluding any theatres which the Company and its
Subsidiaries have ceased to operate as of the date of the termination of
Executive's employment hereunder), or (ii) under consideration by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries for opening as of the date of termination of employment;
"MAJOR DMA" means a Designated Market Area in the United States with a number of
households in excess of 700,000; "DESIGNATED MARKET AREA" means each of those
certain geographic market areas in the United States designated as such by
Nielsen Media Research, Inc. ("NIELSEN"), as modified from time to time by
Nielsen, whereby Nielsen divides the United States into non-overlapping

various markets and whereby a county in the United States is exclusively
assigned, on the basis of the television viewing habits of the people residing
in the county, to one and only one Designated Market Area; and all theatres
operated by the Company and its Subsidiaries in the Western Hemisphere (other
than the United States) shall be treated as being outside a Major DMA. Nothing
herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than five
percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is
publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the
business of such corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive's
obligations under this Section 4.2 shall terminate and become null and void upon
the consummation of a Sale of the Company to any Person that directly or

voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Company or the surviving
entity entitled to vote (whether by merger, consolidation or sale or transfer of
the Company's capital stock) or (ii) all or substantially all of the Company's
assets determined on a consolidated basis. During the one-year period following
the termination of Executive's employment for any reason, Executive shall
provide reasonable notice to the Company of her plans for acquiring ownership
in, commencing operations of, or investing in, any movie theatre prior to any
such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive's obligations under this
Section 4.2 shall terminate and become null and void if Executive terminates her
employment with Good Reason.

                  4.3      Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for three (3)
years thereafter (the "NON-SOLICITATION PERIOD"), Executive shall not directly
or indirectly through another Person (i) induce or attempt to induce any
managerial or executive-level employee of the Company or any Subsidiary to leave
the employ of the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the
relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof,
(ii) without the Company's prior written consent, hire any person who was a
managerial or executive level employee of the Company or any Subsidiary at any
time during the Term or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer,
supplier, landlord, developer, licensee, licensor, franchisee or

improvements, patents, copyrights and discoveries conceived by Executive during
Executive's employment by the Company or its affiliates that are useful in or
directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company and its affiliates
or to any experimental work carried on by the Company or its affiliates, shall
be the property of the Company and its affiliates. Executive will promptly and
fully disclose to the Company or its affiliates all such inventions, designs,
improvements, patents, copyrights and discoveries (whether developed
individually or with other persons) and shall take all steps necessary and
reasonably required to assure the Company's or such affiliate's ownership
thereof and to assist the Company and its affiliates in protecting or defending
the Company's or such affiliate's proprietary rights therein.

                  4.5      Return of Materials. Executive expressly acknowledges
that all data, books, records and other Confidential Information of the Company
and its affiliates obtained in connection with the Company's business is the
exclusive property of the Company or its affiliates and that upon the
termination of Executive's employment by the Company or its affiliates,
Executive will immediately surrender and return to the Company or its affiliates

                                    (iii)    Executive and Executive's
dependents shall be entitled to continue to participate in the Company's welfare
benefit plans and insurance programs on the same terms as similarly situated
active employees for a period of twelve months from the Termination Date.
Following the expiration of such twelve-month period, Executive and/or
Executive's dependents shall be entitled to any continuation of benefits as are
provided under such benefit plans by the Company or as are required to be
provided in accordance with applicable law.

                           (b)      Any outstanding stock-based, equity-based,
Stock Option or performance compensation awards granted to Executive shall be
vested and/or exercisable for the period through the date of such termination of
employment and shall remain exercisable, in each case, in accordance with the
terms contained in the plan and the agreement pursuant to which such
compensation awards were granted.

                           (c)      For purposes of the calculation of
Executive's benefits under any supplemental defined benefit plan in which
Executive participates, Executive shall be credited with one additional year as
a result of termination pursuant to this Section 5.4.

                           (d)      "GOOD REASON" means and shall be deemed to
exist if, without the prior written consent of Executive, (i) Executive suffers
a significant reduction in duties, responsibilities or effective authority
associated with Executive's titles and positions as set forth and described in
this Agreement or is assigned any duties or responsibilities inconsistent in any
material respect therewith (other than in connection with a termination for
Cause); (ii) the Company fails to pay Executive any amounts or provide any
benefits required to be paid or provided under this Agreement or is otherwise in
material breach of this Agreement; (iii) the Company adversely changes
Executive's titles or reporting requirements; (iv) Executive's compensation
(other than Base Salary, which is governed by Section 3.1) or benefits provided
for hereunder are decreased other than as part of reductions affecting the
Company's executives generally; or (v) the Company transfers Executive's primary
workplace by more than twenty (20) miles from the current workplace. No
termination by Executive shall be for "Good Reason" unless written notice of
such termination setting forth in particular the event(s) constituting Good
Reason is delivered to the Company within thirty (30) days following the date on
which the event constituting Good Reason occurs and the Company fails to cure or
remedy the event(s) identified in the notice within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the appointment of a new
Chief Executive Officer as a result of the succession plan for Lee Roy Mitchell
as approved by her and the assignment by the Board to such Chief Executive
Officer of such duties, responsibilities and authority as are customarily
associated with the position of chief executive officer of a corporation
comparable to the Company shall not in and of itself serve as the basis for
Executive to terminate her employment with Good Reason under clause (i) above.

                  5.5      General Release. Except where the termination is the
result of Executive's death and notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment shall
be made by the Company to Executive under this Section 5 unless otherwise
required by state, local or federal law, until Executive executes a general
release of all claims in a form reasonably approved by the Company.

                  5.6      Office Support. Upon the termination of Executive's
employment hereunder for any reason except for Cause, the Company shall make
available to Executive, at the Company's expense, an office and support
services, (including, without limitation, telephone, telefax and internet
access), at the Company's election, either at the Company's main office or at
another suitable office space in the Dallas/Plano area, for a period not to
exceed three (3) months following the date of such termination.

         6.       Arbitration.

                  6.1      General. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach hereof or the coverage or
enforceability of this arbitration provision shall be settled by arbitration in
Dallas, Texas (or such other location as the Company and

Executive may mutually agree), conducted in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as such rules are in
effect in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas on the date of delivery of demand for
arbitration. The arbitration of any such issue, including the determination of
the amount of any damages suffered by either party hereto by reason of the acts
or omissions of the other, shall be to the exclusion of any court of law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party hereto may seek any equitable remedy
in a court to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, including but not
limited to an action for injunctive relief or attachment, without waiving the
right to arbitration.

                  6.2      Procedure.

                           (a)      Either party may demand such arbitration by
giving notice of that demand to the other party. The party demanding such
arbitration is referred to herein as the "DEMANDING PARTY," and the party
adverse to the Demanding Party is referred to herein as the "RESPONDING PARTY."
The notice shall state (x) the matter in controversy, and (y) the name of the
arbitrator selected by the party giving the notice.

                           (b)      Not more than fifteen (15) days after such
notice is given, the Responding Party shall give notice to the Demanding Party
of the name of the arbitrator selected by the Responding Party. If the
Responding Party shall fail to timely give such notice, the arbitrator that the
Responding Party was entitled to select shall be named by the Arbitration
Committee of the American Arbitration Association. Not more than fifteen (15)
days after the second arbitrator is so named; the two arbitrators shall select a
third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators shall fail to timely select a third
arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be named by the Arbitration Committee of
the American Arbitration Association.

                           (c)      The dispute shall be arbitrated at a hearing
that shall be concluded within ten days immediately following the date the
dispute is submitted to arbitration unless a majority of the arbitrators shall
elect to extend the period of arbitration. Any award made by a majority of the
arbitrators (x) shall be made within ten days following the conclusion of the
arbitration hearing, (y) shall be conclusive and binding on the parties, and (z)
may be made the subject of a judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

                           (d)      Any amount to which Executive is entitled
under this Agreement (including any disputed amount) which is not paid when due
shall bear interest from the date due but not paid at a rate equal to the lesser
of eight percent (8%) per annum and the maximum lawful rate.

                  6.3      Costs and Expenses. All administrative and
arbitration fees, costs and expenses shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the
Company and fifty percent (50%) by Executive.

         7.       Non-Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable nor the
duties hereunder delegable by Executive. None of the payments hereunder may be
encumbered or in any way anticipated by Executive (or Executive's estate or
personal representative). The

Company shall not assign this Agreement nor shall it transfer all or any
substantial part of its assets without first obtaining in conjunction with such
transfer the express assumption of the obligations hereof by the assignee or
transferee.

         8.       Remedies. Executive acknowledges that the services Executive
is to render under this Agreement are of a unique and special nature, the loss
of which cannot reasonably or adequately be compensated for in monetary damages,
and that irreparable injury and damage will result to the Company and its
Subsidiaries in the event of any default or breach of this Agreement by
Executive. The parties agree and acknowledge that the breach by Executive of any
of the terms of this Agreement will cause irreparable damage to the Company and
its affiliates, and upon any such breach, the Company shall be entitled to
injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief (without
posting a bond or other security); provided, however, that this shall in no way
limit any other remedies which the Company and its affiliates may have
(including, without limitations, the right to seek monetary damages).

         9.       Survival. The provisions of Sections 4 through 19 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

         10.      Taxes. All payments to Executive under this Agreement shall be
reduced by all applicable withholding required by Federal, state or local law.

         11.      No Obligation to Mitigate; No Rights of Offset.

                  11.1     Executive shall not be required to mitigate the
amount of any payment or other benefit required to be paid to Executive pursuant
to this Agreement, whether by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall
the amount of any such payment or other benefit be reduced on account of any
compensation earned by Executive as a result of employment by another person;
provided that Executive and Executive's dependents shall not be entitled to
continue to participate in the welfare benefit plans of the Company and its
Subsidiaries if Executive is covered by the welfare benefit plans of another
employer.

                  11.2     The Company's obligation to make the payments
provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations
hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against
Executive or others.

         12.      Notices. Any notice or other communications relating to this
Agreement shall be in writing and delivered personally or mailed by certified
mail, return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier, to the party
concerned at the address set forth below:

         If to Company:           3900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 500

         If to Executive:         At Executive's residence address as maintained
                                  by the Company in the regular course of its
                                  business for payroll purposes.

                  Either party may change the address for the giving of notices
at any time by written notice given to the other party under the provisions of
this Section 12. If notice is given by personal delivery or overnight courier,
said notice shall be conclusively deemed given at the time of such delivery or
upon receipt of such couriered notice. If notice is given by mail, such notice
shall be conclusively deemed given upon deposit thereof in the United States
mail.

         13.      Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior written and oral and all
contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to
the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, this Agreement supersedes any prior employment agreement, oral or
written, including the Employment Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2002, between
the Company and Executive, as amended, which shall terminate and be cancelled as
of the Effective Date, except for any breaches thereof by Executive prior to the
Effective Date which shall survive such termination. This Agreement may not be
changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.

         14.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one agreement.

         15.      Construction. This Agreement shall be governed under and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to
the principles of conflicts of laws. The paragraph headings and captions
contained herein are for reference purposes and convenience only and shall not
in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. It is
intended by the parties that this Agreement be interpreted in accordance with
its fair and simple meaning, not for or against either party, and neither party
shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.

         16.      Severability. The parties agree that if any provision of this
Agreement as applied to any party or to any circumstance is adjudged by a court
or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable, the same will in no way affect any
other circumstance or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in particular, if any provision in
Section 4, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the
duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that
the court or arbitrator making such determination shall have the power to reduce
the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or
phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and
shall be enforced. In addition, in the event of a breach or violation by
Executive of Section 4, the Non-compete Period and the Non-solicitation Period
shall be automatically extended respectively by the amount of time between the
initial occurrence of the breach or violation and when such breach or violation
has been duly cured.

         17.      Binding Effect. Subject to Section 7 hereof, the rights and
obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the permitted successors, assigns, heirs, administrators,
executors and personal representatives of the parties.

         18.      Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective
automatically without any further actions by the Company or Executive
immediately upon the consummation of the Merger (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"). However,
this Agreement shall terminate and shall be of no further force and effect if
the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Date in accordance
with its terms.

         19.      Executive's Cooperation. During the Term and for five (5)
years thereafter, Executive shall cooperate with the Company and its
Subsidiaries in any internal investigation, any administrative, regulatory or
judicial proceeding or investigation or any material dispute with a third party,
in each case as reasonably requested by the Company (including, without
limitation, Executive's being reasonably available to the Company upon
reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the
Company's request to give testimony without requiring service of subpoena or
other legal process, volunteering to the Company all pertinent information and
turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into
Executive's possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably
consistent with Executive's other activities and commitments), in each case
limited to the extent that such cooperation (a) becomes unduly burdensome for
Executive (including in terms of the time commitments required by Executive in
connection with such cooperation), (b) in the event that such cooperation is
required after the Term, unreasonably interferes with Executive's duties under
her then current employment, (c) causes Executive to breach in any material
respect any material agreement by which she is bound, or (d) is limited to the
extent Executive is advised by legal counsel that such cooperation would not be
in Executive's best interests. In the event that the Company requires
Executive's cooperation in accordance with this paragraph, the Company shall
reimburse Executive solely for: (i) her reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including travel, lodging and meals) upon submission of receipts and (ii) any
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Executive to the extent that, after
consultation with the Company, Executive deems it advisable to seek the advice
of legal counsel regarding her obligations hereunder.

                                   EXHIBIT A

                            2004 ANNUAL BONUS TARGETS

Executive will be entitled to participate in the Company's current bonus program
in effect or as may be amended from time to time during the Term of this
Agreement. Pursuant to the bonus plan as currently in effect as of the date of
this Agreement, Executive is entitled to an Annual Bonus determined as follows.
During December of each fiscal year, the Board (or such individual, group or
committee that the Board may select as its delegate), shall set a target EBITDA
for the Company on a consolidated basis (the "Target") for the next fiscal year.
Targeted EBITDA shall be equal to EBITDA adjusted by adding back advanced and
deferred rent, amortization of stock options and other noncash items and all
costs related to the acquisition and refinancing of the Company in 2004. For the
2004 fiscal year the Target is $228.6 million. The Executive shall receive a
cash bonus equal to (i) a minimum of 20% of Executive's annual Base Salary if
the EBITDA of the Company is at least 96.8% of the Target, (ii) 40% of
Executive's annual Base Salary if the EBITDA of the Company is at least equal to
the Target, (iii) 60% of Executive's annual Base Salary if the EBITDA of the
Company is at least 103.20% of the Target, and (iv) a maximum of 80% of
Executive's annual Base Salary if the EBITDA of the Company is at least 106.4%
of the Target. The percentage of the Executive's annual Base Salary used to
determine the amount of Annual Bonus shall be adjusted proportionately upward or
downward from the threshold percentages specified above, as applicable,
utilizing the percentage difference between actual EBITDA and the Target
relative to the 3.2% increments multiplied by the 20% increments (or 6.25% for
every one percentage difference from the target). For purposes of example if the
adjusted EBITDA is $240.0 million, which is 104.98% (240/228.6) of the Target,
the adjustment would be 4.98% multiplied by 6.25% + 40% (base), resulting in a
bonus equal to 71.125% of annual Base Salary. If EBITDA for fiscal year 2004 is
less than 96.8% of the Target, no Annual Bonus will be paid.
