First Amendment to Lease




     This First Amendment to Lease (this “Amendment”) dated April 15, 2005 is
executed by and between Dyer Triangle LLC, a California limited liability company
(“Landlord”), and Century Theatres, Inc., a California corporation (“Tenant”).



Witnesseth:




     Whereas, Landlord and Century Threatres, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Century
Theatres (DE)”), entered into a lease dated April 10, 1998 (the “Lease”) for a motion picture
building and related parking (the “Premises”) located at Union Landing Entertainment Center, Union
City, California; capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth
in the Lease; and



     Whereas, Century Theatres, Inc., a California corporation, has succeeded Century
Theatres (DE), as Tenant; and



     Whereas, Century Theatres, Inc., a California corporation, has assumed all
obligations of Century Theatres (DE), as set forth in the Lease; and



     Whereas, the parties desire now to amend the Lease to revise and clarify certain
obligations between the parties, as hereinafter provided;



     Now, Therefore, the parties hereto mutually agree that the Lease shall be amended
as follows:



A. Right to Renovate




     1. In addition to Landlord’s rights under the Lease (including, without limitation, Landlord’s
rights pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Lease), Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord shall have the
right, but shall have no obligation, to demolish, renovate, remodel, reconstruct or otherwise alter
in any manner the Entire Premises or any portion thereof (a “Renovation”) without Tenant’s consent;
provided, however, that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that a
Renovation does not materially impede Tenant’s reasonable access to and use of the Leased Premises.



     2. Tenant hereby waives all claims of any nature whatsoever Tenant may now have or may
hereafter have against Landlord relating in any manner to, directly or indirectly, a Renovation.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to
persons or property located in, on or about the Leased Premises resulting from or in connection
with a Renovation, and Tenant waives and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from
any and all claims asserted by Tenant or Tenant’s officers, agents, employees, contractors,
licensees, invitees or guests arising from damage resulting from or in connection with a Renovation
(except to the extent such damage is caused by the willful act or gross negligence of Landlord;
provided, however, that Landlord shall not be liable for any consequential damages, including,
without limitation, any claim for loss of profit or business).

     3. Within a reasonable period of time following receipt of Landlord’s written request
(but in no event more than one hundred eighty (180) days), Tenant shall re-paint Tenant’s Building
and any other buildings which are a part of the Leased Premises as Landlord deems necessary or
desirable in its sole and absolute discretion and in connection with a Renovation.



B. Pavement Area




     1. From and after the date hereof, the “Premises” or “Leased Premises” described in Section
2.01 of the Lease shall include only Tenant’s Building, and shall not include the front entrance,
paved entryway or lighting and landscaping contiguous to the Tenant’s Building (the “Pavement
Area”).



     2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Lease, Tenant’s maintenance
obligations set forth in Section 11.01 and Tenant’s indemnity obligations set forth in Section
10.01 of the Lease shall apply to the Pavement Area, and Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall keep the Pavement Area in first class order, condition and repair, and shall make all repairs
necessary to keep the Pavement Area in such condition.



C. Insurance




     1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Lease, Tenant’s insurance
obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation, the obligations set forth in Sections
16.01 and 16.03 of the Lease) shall apply to the Pavement Area as well as the Premises.



     2. Tenant hereby waives all claims of any nature whatsoever Tenant may now have or may
hereafter have against Landlord relating in any manner to, directly or indirectly, the Pavement
Area. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage
to persons or property (including, without limitation, all “slip and fall” incidents) located in,
on or about the Pavement Area, and Tenant waives and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
Landlord from any and all claims asserted by Tenant or Tenant’s officers, agents, employees,
contractors, licensees, invitees or guests arising from damage resulting from or in connection with
the Pavement Area (except to the extent such damage is caused by the willful act or gross
negligence of Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be liable for any consequential
damages, including, without limitation, any claim for loss of profit or business).



D. Landlord’s Right to Develop




1. Section 2.02 of the Lease, the following is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:





In addition to Landlord’s other development rights contained in the Lease,
Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord shall retain all rights to develop
the rooftop area of the Building, including, without limitation, all
roof-top and other exterior communication and advertising rights on or
about the Entire Premises, including, without limitation, the exclusive
right to install, locate, maintain, use, sell, lease, license, replace and
repair satellite dishes and other roof-top communications equipment on the
roof of the Building. In connection with the foregoing, Tenant agrees that
Tenant shall have no

right to lease or otherwise allow any third party to access or use the
roof of the Building or any portion of the Premises for any use other than the
Permitted Use.



     2. Tenant hereby waives all claims of any nature whatsoever Tenant may now have or may
hereafter have against Landlord relating in any manner to, directly or indirectly, the Development.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to
persons or property located in, on or about the Premises resulting from or in connection with the
Development, and Tenant waives and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from any and
all claims asserted by Tenant or Tenant’s officers, agents, employees, contractors, licensees,
invitees or guests arising from damage resulting from or in connection with the Development (except
to the extent such damage is caused by the willful act or gross negligence of Landlord; provided,
however, that Landlord shall not be liable for any consequential damages, including, without
limitation, any claim for loss of profit or business).



E. Surrender




     The third and fourth sentences of Section 14.02 are hereby deleted in their entirety and
replaced with the following:




Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, upon the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease and promptly following Tenant’s receipt of a
cost estimate thereof from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount
equal to the cost of demolishing the improvements located on the Premises and
removing all surface debris therefrom to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, as
such cost estimate is determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute
discretion; provided, however, that Tenant may remove any or all of Tenant’s
furniture, fixtures and equipment (the “FF&E”) from the Premises, so long as
such removal occurs within forty-five (45) days after the Termination Date and
Tenant repairs all extraordinary damage caused by such removal. Except as set
forth above, from and after the Termination Date, the parties shall have no
further rights under the Lease nor further obligations with respect to the
Premises, except for any rights or obligations which expressly survive the
termination of the Lease in accordance with the provisions thereof or at law.



F. Miscellaneous




     1. This Amendment constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, representations, and understandings between the
parties, whether oral or written, are deemed null, all of the foregoing having been merged into
this Amendment.



     2. This Amendment to Lease is hereby executed and shall be effective as of the date first
written above. All other conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

respective legal representatives and successors and assigns.



     4. Each party hereby specifically represents and warrants that its execution of this Amendment
has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action, and that this Amendment when
fully signed and delivered shall constitute a binding agreement of such party, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

Amendment and that no rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved
against the drafting party shall be employed in the interpretation of this Amendment or any
amendments or exhibits to this Amendment or any document executed and delivered by either party in
connection with this Amendment.



     6. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
