     may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the
     depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof; and

          (5) if applicable, that such Securities shall not be issued in the

pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, a copy of an appropriate
record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant

delivery of the Officers' Certificate or the trust indenture supplemental hereto
setting forth the terms of the series.

          SECTION 2.02. FORM AND DATING. Provisions relating to the Securities
are set forth in Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made
part of this Indenture. The Securities of each series and the Trustee's
certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Appendix 1
to Exhibit A which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this
Indenture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Securities offered
and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall
include the form of assignment set forth in Appendix I to Exhibit A and
Securities offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S
(other than Initial Securities offered on the Issue Date) shall include the form
of certificate set forth in Exhibit C. The Securities of each series may have
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule,
agreements to

                                       21
<Page>

which the Company is subject, if any, or usage, provided that any such notation,
legend or endorsement is in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the
Securities of each series set forth in Appendix I to Exhibit A are part of the
terms of this Indenture.

          SECTION 2.03. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION. Two Officers (or one
Officer and the Vice President and Secretary of the Company) shall sign the
Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

          If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be
valid nevertheless.

          At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the
Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such written
order of the Company shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.

          A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated
under this Indenture.

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable
to the Company to authenticate the Securities. Unless limited by the terms of
such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever
the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the
same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and
demands.

          The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if
the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee's own rights, duties,
indemnities or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture.

          SECTION 2.04. REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The Company shall maintain
an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange (the "REGISTRAR") and an office or agency where
Securities may be presented for payment (the "PAYING AGENT"). The Registrar
shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The
Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying
agents. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent and
"Registrar" includes any co-registrar.

          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate
the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this
Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the
name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar
or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be

                                       22
<Page>

entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The
Company or any of its domestic Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying
Agent, Registrar or transfer agent.

          The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying
Agent in connection with the Securities.

          SECTION 2.05. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST. Prior to each due
date of the principal and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest so
becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the
Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for
the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the
Trustee of any default by the Company or any Guarantor in making any such
payment. If the Company or a domestic Wholly-Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying
Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a
separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by
the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent (if other
than the Company or a domestic Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) shall have no further
liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

          SECTION 2.06. SECURITYHOLDER LISTS. The Trustee shall preserve in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it
of the names and addresses of Securityholders and shall otherwise comply with
TIA 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company on its own behalf
and on the behalf of each of the Guarantors shall furnish to the Trustee, in
writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at
such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and
as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses
of Securityholders and the Company and the Guarantors shall otherwise comply
with TIA 312(a).

          SECTION 2.07. REPLACEMENT SECURITIES. If a mutilated security is
surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that such
Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies
any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or
the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the
judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them
may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the
Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.

          Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of Company.

          SECTION 2.08. OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. Securities outstanding at any
time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled
by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this
Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

                                       23
<Page>

          If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to
them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

          If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with
this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay
all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities
(or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the
Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Securityholders on
that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date
such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on
them ceases to accrue.

          SECTION 2.09. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Until definitive Securities are
ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of
definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company
shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and
deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities. After the preparation of
definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at any office
or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and such exchange shall be
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more
definitive Securities representing an equal principal amount at maturity of
Securities. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Securities shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of
definitive Securities.

          SECTION 2.10. CANCELLATION. The Company at any time may deliver
Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent
shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration
of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel
(subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or
cancellation and deliver cancelled Securities to the Company upon a written
direction of the Company. Except as expressly permitted herein, the Company may
not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

          If the Company or any Guarantor acquires any of the Securities, such
acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.10. The
Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in
connection with a registration of transfer or exchange of such Securities.

          At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have
either been exchanged for definitive Securities, transferred, redeemed,
repurchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned by DTC to the
Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time
prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is

                                       24
<Page>

exchanged for definitive Securities, transferred in exchange for an interest in
another Global Security, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount
at maturity of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced
and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it
is then the Securities Custodian for such Global Security) with respect to such
Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect such
reduction.

          SECTION 2.11. DEFAULTED INTEREST. If the Company defaults in a payment
of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest
(plus interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Securities to
the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Security
and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment
(the "SPECIAL INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"), and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as in this clause
provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a record date (the "SPECIAL RECORD
DATE") for the payment of such defaulted interest, which date shall be not more
than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment
Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of
the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
cause notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the Special
Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner
provided for in Section 11.02, not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the
Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so
given, such defaulted interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment
Date to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective
predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special
Record Date and shall no longer be payable.

          The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.

          Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security
delivered under this Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued
and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

          SECTION 2.12. CUSIP, COMMON CODE OR ISIN NUMBERS. The Company in
issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP", "Common Code" or "ISIN" numbers (if then
generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP", "Common Code" or
"ISIN" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided,
however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility
for any defect in the "CUSIP", "Common Code" or "ISIN" number that appears on
any Security, check, advice of payment or redemption notice, and any

                                       25
<Page>

such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of
such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice
of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify
the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, Common Code or ISIN number.

          SECTION 2.13. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest and accretion on the
Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months and actual days elapsed.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                   REDEMPTION

          SECTION 3.01. NOTICES TO TRUSTEE. If the Company elects to redeem
Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities or is required to redeem
the Securities pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the redemption date, the principal amount at maturity of Securities
to be redeemed, the redemption price and that such redemption is being made
pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities or Section 3.07 hereof.

          The Company shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this
Section 3.01 at least 45 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption
date if the redemption is pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities or at least
two Business Days prior to the Special Redemption Date if the redemption is
pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless in each case, the Trustee consents to a
shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will
comply with the conditions herein.

          SECTION 3.02. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. If fewer than
all the Securities are to be redeemed, not more than 60 days prior to the
redemption date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed pro rata
or by lot or by a method that complies with applicable legal and securities
exchange requirements, if any, and that the Trustee considers fair and
appropriate and in accordance with methods generally used at the time of
selection by fiduciaries in similar circumstances. The Trustee shall make the
selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The
Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal amount at maturity
of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount at
maturity. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in
amounts of $1,000 principal amount at maturity or a whole multiple of $1,000
principal amount at maturity. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for
redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or
portions of Securities to be redeemed.

          SECTION 3.03. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 30 days but not more than
60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the Company shall mail a
notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed.

                                       26
<Page>

          The notice shall identify the Securities (or portion thereof) to be
redeemed (including CUSIP numbers if any) and shall state:

          (1) the redemption date;

          (2) the redemption price;

          (3) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

          (4) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the
     Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

          (5) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed,
     or if a Security is to be redeemed in part only, the identification and
     principal amounts at maturity of the particular Securities (or portion
     thereof) to be redeemed;

          (6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption
     payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant
     to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities (or portion thereof)
     called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;
     and

          (7) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy
     of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the
     Securities.

          At the Company's written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's expense. In such event,
the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this
Section at least 45 days before the redemption date, unless the Trustee consents
to a shorter period.

          SECTION 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Once notice of
redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on
the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon
surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption
price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the related interest payment date that is on or prior to
the date of redemption). Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to
any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

          SECTION 3.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the
Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a domestic Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is the
Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued interest (subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related
interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of redemption) on all
Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of
Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the
Trustee for cancellation.

                                       27
<Page>

          SECTION 3.06. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. Upon surrender of a
Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company's expense) a new Security
equal in principal amount at maturity to the unredeemed portion of the Security
surrendered.

          SECTION 3.07. SPECIAL REDEMPTION. In the event that (i) the Merger
Agreement is terminated or (ii) the Transactions are not closed on or before
January 31, 2005 (each a "Special Mandatory Redemption Event"), then the Company
will redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, within two Business Days'
notice, at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the Accreted Value of the
Securities to, but excluding, the Special Redemption Date pursuant to the terms
of the Discount Securities Escrow Agreement. The "Special Redemption Date" means
the second Business Day after the first Special Mandatory Redemption Event. Any
redemption made pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the
procedures set forth in the Discount Securities Escrow Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    COVENANTS

          SECTION 4.01. PAYMENT OF SECURITIES. The Company shall promptly pay
the Accreted Value or principal of and premium and interest on the Securities,
in immediately available funds, on the dates and in the manner provided in the
Securities and in this Indenture. Accreted Value or principal and premium and
interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or
the Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay
all Accreted Value or principal and premium and interest then due and the
Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying
such money to the Securityholders on that date pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture.

          The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal amount at maturity
at the rate specified therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on
overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities to the
extent lawful.

          The Company and the Guarantors will pay any present or future stamp,
court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery,
enforcement or registration of the Securities, the Subsidiary Guarantees, this
Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereof, or the
receipt of any payments with respect to the Securities or the Subsidiary
Guarantees, excluding such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any
jurisdiction outside of the United States, the jurisdiction of incorporation of
any successor of the Company or any Guarantor or any jurisdiction in which a
Paying Agent is located, other than those resulting from, or required to be paid
in connection with, the enforcement of the Securities, the Subsidiary Guarantees
or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event
of Default with respect to the Securities. The Company or any Guarantors will
indemnify the Holders for any such taxes paid by such Holders.

          SECTION 4.02. CORPORATE EXISTENCE. Subject to Article Five, the
Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force and effect the

                                       28
<Page>

corporate existence and corporate power and authority of the Company and each
Subsidiary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such corporate existence and corporate power and authority if the
Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in
the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

          SECTION 4.03. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS. The Company will pay
or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent,

          (a)     all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges
     levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income,
     profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary and

          (b)     all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies,
     which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the
     Company or any Subsidiary that could produce a material adverse effect on
     the consolidated financial condition of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
     that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be
     paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount,
     applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
     proceedings.

          SECTION 4.04. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. The Company will cause all
Properties owned by the Company or any Subsidiary or used or held for use in the
conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and
kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary
equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times, except, in
every case, as and to the extent that the Company may be prevented by fire,
strikes, lockouts, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials,
governmental restrictions, enemy action, civil commotion or unavoidable casualty
or similar causes beyond the control of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the
maintenance of any such Properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of
the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any
Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

          SECTION 4.05. LIMITATION ON CONSOLIDATED INDEBTEDNESS. The Company
will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness
(excluding Permitted Indebtedness); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, (i) that the Company may
incur Indebtedness if, after giving effect to such event on a pro forma basis,
the Company's Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for the four (4) full fiscal quarters
immediately preceding such event, taken as one period calculated on the
assumption that such Indebtedness had been incurred on the first day of such
four-quarter period, is greater than or equal to 2.0:1 and (ii) Marquee Inc. and
its Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness if, after giving effect to such event on
a pro forma basis, the Marquee Inc.'s Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for the four (4)
full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such event, taken as one period
calculated on the assumption that such Indebtedness had been incurred on the
first day of such four-quarter period, is greater than or equal to 2.0:1.

                                       29
<Page>

          SECTION 4.06. LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED PAYMENTS. The Company shall
not, directly or indirectly:

          (a)     declare or pay any dividend on, or make any distribution in
     respect of, any shares of the Company's or any Subsidiary's Capital Stock
     (excluding dividends or distributions payable in shares of its Capital
     Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital
     Stock, but including dividends or distributions payable in Redeemable
     Capital Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase
     Redeemable Capital Stock (other than dividends on such Redeemable Capital
     Stock payable in shares of such Redeemable Capital Stock)) held by any
     Person other than the Company, Marquee Inc. or any of their Wholly-Owned
     Subsidiaries;

          (b)     purchase, redeem or acquire or retire for value any Capital
     Stock of the Company or any Affiliate thereof (other than Marquee Inc. or
     any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company) or any options, warrants or
     other rights to acquire such Capital Stock; or

          (c)     purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or
     retire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or
     scheduled sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor
     Subordinated Obligations (other than the purchase, repurchase, redemption,
     defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations
     or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations purchased in anticipation of
     satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final
     maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase,
     repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement);

(such payments or any other actions described in (a) through (c) above are
collectively referred to as "RESTRICTED PAYMENTS") unless at the time of and
after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment (the amount of any such
Restricted Payment, if other than cash, as determined by the Board of Directors,
whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution):
(A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (B)
the Company shall have made the election to pay cash interest on the Securities
and shall have made at least one cash interest payment or the last Semi-Annual
Accretion Date shall have occurred, (C) the Company could incur $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under the provisions
of Section 4.05 and (D) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments declared
or made on or after the date of consummation of the Transactions does not exceed
the sum of:

          (i)     (x) Consolidated EBITDA for the Restricted Payments
     Computation Period minus (y) 2.0 times Consolidated Interest Expense for
     the Restricted Payments Computation Period;

          (ii)    the aggregate net proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of
     property other than cash (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
     determination shall be conclusive, except that for any property whose Fair
     Market Value exceeds $10.0 million such Fair Market Value shall be
     confirmed by an independent appraisal obtained by the Company), received
     after the date of the consummation of the Transactions by the

                                       30
<Page>

     Company from the issuance or sale (other than to any of its Subsidiaries)
     of shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital
     Stock) or warrants, options or rights to purchase such shares of Capital
     Stock;

          (iii)   the aggregate net proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of
     property other than cash (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
     determination shall be conclusive, except that for any property whose Fair
     Market Value exceeds $10.0 million such Fair Market Value shall be
     confirmed by an independent appraisal obtained by the Company), received
     after the date of the consummation of the Transactions by the Company from
     debt securities that have been converted into or exchanged for Capital
     Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) to the extent
     such debt securities were originally sold for such net proceeds plus the
     aggregate cash received by the Company at the time of such conversion; and

          (iv)    the specific dollar amount of funds (or 100% of any deficit)
     that Marquee Inc. would be permitted under the indentures relating to the
     Marquee Notes to dividend to the Company immediately after giving effect to
     the Transactions (as calculated on and as of the date of consummation of
     the Transactions).

          Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company may:

          (i)     pay dividends on its Capital Stock within sixty days of the
     declaration thereof if, on the declaration date, such dividends could have
     been paid in compliance with the foregoing limitation;

          (ii)    acquire, redeem or retire Capital Stock in exchange for, or in
     connection with a substantially concurrent issuance of, Capital Stock of
     the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock);

          (iii)   make any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other
     acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations of the Company or
     Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of any Guarantor made by exchange for,
     or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Capital
     Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock and other than
     Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary or an employee stock ownership
     plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock
     ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by
     the Company or any Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash
     on or prior to the date of determination); provided, however, that the net
     proceeds from such sale of Capital Stock will be excluded from clause
     (D)(ii) of the preceding paragraph;

          (iv)    make any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other
     acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations of the Company or
     Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of any Guarantor made by exchange for,
     or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of,
     Subordinated Obligations of the Company or any purchase, repurchase,
     redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Guarantor
     Subordinated Obligations made by exchange for or out of the proceeds of the
     substantially concurrent sale of Guarantor Subordinated Obligations that,
     in each case, is

                                       31
<Page>

     permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.05 and that in each case
     constitutes Refinancing Indebtedness; or

          (v)     make any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other
     acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Obligation at a
     purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such
     Subordinated Obligation plus accrued and unpaid interest in the event of a
     Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.10
     hereof; provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase,
     repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, the
     Company has made the Change of Control Offer (as defined in Section 4.10)
     as provided in such covenant with respect to the Securities and has
     completed the repurchase or redemption of all Securities validly tendered
     for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer.

          SECTION 4.07. LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. (a) The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related
transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or
lease of assets, property or services) with any Affiliate of the Company (other
than a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company) involving aggregate consideration
in excess of $5.0 million unless (A) such transaction or series of transactions
is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the
case may be, than would be available at the time of such transaction or series
of transactions in a comparable transaction in an arm's-length dealing with an
unaffiliated third party, (B) such transaction or series of transactions is in
the best interests of the Company and (C) with respect to a transaction or
series of transactions involving aggregate payments equal to or greater than
$50.0 million, a majority of disinterested members of the Board of Directors
determines that such transaction or series of transactions complies with clauses
(A) and (B) above, as evidenced by a Board Resolution.

          (b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company and its
Subsidiaries may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

          (i)     any transaction pursuant to any contract of the Company or AMC
     Entertainment Inc. in existence on the Issue Date;

          (ii)    any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to the
     provisions of Section 4.06;

          (iii)   any transaction or series of transactions between the Company
     and one or more of its Subsidiaries or between two or more of its
     Subsidiaries (provided that no more than 5% of the equity interest in any
     such Subsidiary is owned, directly or indirectly (other than by direct or
     indirect ownership of an equity interest in the Company), by any Affiliate
     of the Company other than a Subsidiary);

          (iv)    the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant
     to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of officers, directors
     and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and

                                       32
<Page>

          (v)     the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of
     its Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any agreements that
     are described in the Offering Memorandum under the headings "Management"
     and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions" (copies of which
     descriptions are included in Annex 4.07 to this Indenture) and any
     amendments thereto; PROVIDED, however, that the existence of, or the
     performance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations
     under, any future amendment to such agreements shall only be permitted by
     this clause (v) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment, taken
     as a whole, are not more disadvantageous to the holders of the Securities
     in any material respect than the terms of such agreements in effect on the
     date of the consummation of the Transactions.

          SECTION 4.08. FUTURE GUARANTORS. After the Issue Date, the Company
will cause each Subsidiary which guarantees obligations under any Indebtedness
of the Company or the Guarantors to execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Guarantor will unconditionally
Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the
principal or Accreted Value of, premium, if any, interest and Additional
Interest, if any, on the Securities on a senior basis and all other obligations
under this Indenture. Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to an amount not
to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Subsidiary without
rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary, voidable
under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Guarantor is released and discharged in full from its
obligations under its Guarantees of all other Indebtedness of the Company, then
the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged.

          SECTION 4.09. LIMITATION ON LIENS. The Company will not, and shall not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or
suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property
or assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries of the Company), whether
owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any
Indebtedness of the Company or, in the case of a Subsidiary, any Guarantee of
Indebtedness of the Company, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of
such Liens effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under this
Indenture and the Securities and any Subsidiary Guarantees by any Subsidiary of
the Securities as required by Section 4.08 of this Indenture, equally and
ratably with (or prior to in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated
Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations, as the case may be) the
Indebtedness secured by such Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so
secured.

          SECTION 4.10. CHANGE OF CONTROL. Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a "CHANGE OF CONTROL
OFFER") to purchase all outstanding Securities at a purchase price equal to 101%
(the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PURCHASE PRICE") of their Accreted Value plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date).

          Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control
occurred, the Company must send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder,
with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of
Control Offer. Such notice will state,

                                       33
<Page>

among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor
later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be
required by law (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT DATE"). The Change of Control
Offer is required to remain open for at least 20 Business Days and until the
close of business on the Change Control Payment Date.

          In the event that the Company makes a Change of Control Offer to
purchase the Securities pursuant to this Section 4.10, the Company will comply
with any applicable securities laws and regulations, including any applicable
requirements of Section 14(e) of, and Rule l4e-1 under, the Exchange Act.

          SECTION 4.11. PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Notwithstanding that
the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the SEC and provide the
Trustee and the Securityholders such annual reports and such information,
documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such
information, documents and reports to be so filed and provided at the times
specified for the filing of such information, documents and reports under such
Sections; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be so obligated to file
such information, documents and reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit
such filings but shall still be obligated to provide such information, documents
and reports to the Trustee and the Securityholders. Delivery of such reports,
information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and
the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from any information contained
therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers'
Certificates).

          SECTION 4.12. STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. The Company shall deliver to
the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the

ending on the Thursday nearest March 31), a brief certificate of its principal
executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer
stating whether, to such officer's knowledge, the Company is in compliance with
all covenants and conditions to be complied with by it under this Indenture in
accordance with TIA 314(a)(4); PROVIDED that the first such certificate shall be
delivered no later than June 29, 2005. For purposes of this Section 4.12, such
compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice under this Indenture.

          When a Default has occurred and is continuing or if the Trustee, any
Holder or the trustee for or the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of
the Company or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with
respect to a claimed Default, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate specifying such Default, notice or other action within 10
Business Days of its occurrence.

          SECTION 4.13. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS. The Company may omit in any
particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in
Sections 4.03 to 4.10 and Section 4.11(a), if before the time for such
compliance, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity
of the Securities at the time outstanding shall, by written direction of such
Holders, waive such compliance in such instance with such covenant or

                                       34
<Page>

condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee
in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and
effect.

          SECTION 4.14. ACTIVITIES OF MARQUEE INC. Prior to the consummation of
the Merger, the Company will not, and will not permit Marquee Inc. to, engage in
any activity or enter into any transaction or agreement (including Incurring any
Indebtedness other than the Marquee Notes, making any Restricted Payments,
engaging in any transactions with Affiliates, incurring any Liens or entering
into any mergers (other than the Merger) or sales of substantially all of its
assets) except to the extent necessary to effectuate the Transactions
substantially in accordance with the description of the Transactions set forth
in the Offering Memorandum.

          SECTION 4.15. FURTHER INSTRUMENTS AND ACTS. Upon request of the
Trustee, the Company shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do
such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more
effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

          SECTION 4.16. LIMITATION ON ABILITY OF COMPANY TO RELEASE FUNDS FROM
ESCROW. The Company agrees that (i) the terms of the Discount Securities Escrow
Agreement shall exclusively control the conditions under which and procedures
pursuant to which Collateral (as defined in the Discount Securities Escrow
Agreement) can be released and (ii) it will not attempt to have any Collateral
(as defined in the Discount Securities Escrow Agreement) released from escrow
except in accordance with the Discount Securities Escrow Agreement.

          SECTION 4.17. PAYMENT FOR CONSENT. The Company shall not, and shall
not permit any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company to, directly or
indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of
interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any
consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture
or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders
that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

          SECTION 4.18. DESIGNATION AS "DESIGNATED SENIOR DEBT". Substantially
concurrently with, but in any event, no later than one Business Day after the
Merger is consummated, the Securities shall be designated as "Designated Senior

          SECTION 6.02. ACCELERATION; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h), (i) or
(j)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee, by
notice to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Securities outstanding, by notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may declare the Accreted Value of, premium, if any, and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities to be due and
payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h), (i) or (j) occurs
and is continuing, then the Accreted Value of, premium, if any, and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities shall automatically become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder and if such Event of Default occurs prior to the
earlier of (i) the Cash Election Date and (ii) August 15, 2009, the Company will
thereafter be obligated to pay cash interest on each subsequent interest payment
date and the Securities will cease to accrete. The Company will deliver to the
Trustee, within 10 days after the occurrence thereof, notice of any default or
acceleration referred to in Sections 6.01(d) and 6.01(e).

          At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities outstanding, by
written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:

          (a)     the Company has paid or deposited, or caused to be paid or
     deposited, with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

                  (1)    all overdue interest (including Additional Interest) on
          all Securities,

                  (2)    the Accreted Value of (and premium, if any, on) any
          Securities that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of
          acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities,

                  (3)    to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
          interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Securities,
          and

                  (4)    all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and
          the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
          the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

          (b)     all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal
     of the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of
     acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.04.

          No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

          Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration
of acceleration in respect of the Securities because an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, such
declaration of acceleration shall be automatically

                                       39
<Page>

annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default (1) is
Indebtedness in the form of an operating lease entered into by the Company or
its Subsidiaries after May 21, 1998 and required to be reflected on a
consolidated balance sheet pursuant to EITF 97-10, or any subsequent
pronouncement having similar effect, (2) has been discharged or the holders
thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such
Indebtedness, and (3) written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the
case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company and
countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or
agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in
respect of the Securities, and no other Event of Default has occurred during
such 30 day period which has not been cured or waived during such period.

          SECTION 6.03. OTHER REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of
any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is
exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

          SECTION 6.04. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Subject to Section 6.02, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the
Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing
Default and its consequences except (i) a Default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on a Security, (ii) a Default arising from a failure to
make or consummate a Change of Control Offer in accordance with the provisions
of Section 4.10, or (iii) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section
9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Securityholder affected. When
a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

          SECTION 6.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities then outstanding may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee with respect to the Securities. However, the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to
Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of
other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that subject to Section 315 of the TIA, the Trustee may take
any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled
to reasonable indemnification against all losses and expenses caused by taking
or not taking such action.

          SECTION 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS. A Securityholder may not pursue any
remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

                                       40
<Page>

          (1)     such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written
     notice of a continuing Event of Default;

          (2)     the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount at
     maturity of the Securities then outstanding shall have made a written
     request, and such Holder of or Holders shall have offered reasonable
     indemnity, to the Trustee to pursue such proceeding as trustee; and

          (3)     the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding and has
     not received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
     amount at maturity of the Securities outstanding a direction inconsistent
     with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer.

          The foregoing limitations on the pursuit of remedies by a
Securityholder shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of Securities
for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on such Security
on or after the applicable due date specified in such Security. A Securityholder
may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or
to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder.

          SECTION 6.07. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive
payment of principal of, Accreted Value and interest on the securities held by
such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities,
or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder.

          SECTION 6.08. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any
unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section
7.07.

          SECTION 6.09. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. The Trustee may file
such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Securityholders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or
its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote
on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other
Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section
7.07.

          SECTION 6.10. PRIORITIES. If the Trustee collects any money or
property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money or property in
the following order:

          FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

                                       41
<Page>

          SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the
     securities for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or
     priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
     Securities for principal and interest respectively;

          THIRD:  to the Company; and,

          FOURTH: the Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
     payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days
     before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Securityholder and
     the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and
     amount to be paid.

          SECTION 6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the
suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of
more than 10% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities.

          SECTION 6.12. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Company (to the
extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in
any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or
extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                     TRUSTEE

          SECTION 7.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE. (a) If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such Person's own affairs.

          (b)     Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

                  (1)    the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
          such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no
          implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
          against the Trustee; and

                  (2)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
          may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
          correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
          opinions furnished to the Trustee

                                       42
<Page>

          and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the
          Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
          whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but
          need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical
          calculations or other facts stated therein).

          (c)     The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

                  (1)    this paragraph does not limit the effect of
          paragraph (b) of this Section;

                  (2)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
          judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved
          that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
          and

                  (3)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
          action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
          direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

          (d)     Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to
the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

          (e)     The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.

          (f)     Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

          (g)     No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers.

          (h)     Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA and
the provisions of this Article Seven shall apply to the Trustee in its role as
Registrar, Paying Agent and Security Custodian.

          (i)     The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or
an Event of Default unless (a) the Trustee has received written notice thereof
from the Company or any Holder or (b) a Trust Officer shall have actual
knowledge thereof.

          SECTION 7.02. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. Subject to 315(a)-(d) of the TIA:

          (a)     The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee
need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee may,
however, in its discretion make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall

                                       43
<Page>

determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent
or attorney.

          (b)     Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not
be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on
the Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

          (c)     The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
care.

          (d)     The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its
rights or powers; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee's conduct does not
constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

          (e)     The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the
advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this
Indenture and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and
protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by
it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
counsel.

          (f)     The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated
in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

          (g)     The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or
liability for or with respect to the legality, validity or enforceability of any
Collateral (as defined in the Discount Securities Escrow Agreement) or any
arrangement or agreement between the Company and any Person with respect
thereto, or the perfection or priority of any security interest created in any
of the Collateral (as defined in the Discount Securities Escrow Agreement) or
the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to
the sufficiency of the Collateral (as defined in the Discount Securities Escrow
Agreement) following an Event of Default.

          SECTION 7.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliate with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar
may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections
7.10 and 7.11.

          SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, priority or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for
the Company's use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be
responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any
document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the
Securities other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication.

          SECTION 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default or Event of Default
occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
mail to each Securityholder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90
days after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by
the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in

                                       44
<Page>

payment of principal of or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold
the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders.
In addition, during the term of the Discount Securities Escrow Agreement, the
Trustee shall provide written notice to the Escrow Agent thereunder upon the
occurrence of (i) Default, (ii) Event of Default or (iii) the principal of,
premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on the Securities having become
immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 and, in the case of clause
(iii), either (x) a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment having determined that such acceleration of the Securities was
appropriate as a result of a bona fide Event of Default hereunder or (y) such
acceleration not having been rescinded prior to January 30, 2005, in each case
of which the Trustee has actual knowledge

          SECTION 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. As promptly as
practicable after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2005, and in any event
prior to July 15 in each year thereafter, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder a brief report dated as of May 15 each year that complies with
TIA 313(a), if and to the extent required by such subsection. The Trustee shall
also comply with TIA 313(b) and (c).

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders
shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the
Securities are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee
whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting
thereof.

          SECTION 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Company shall pay to the
Trustee and any predecessor Trustee from time to time such compensation for its
services as shall from time to time be agreed to in writing by the Company and
the Trustee. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the
Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made
by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its
services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and
experts. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss,
liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by it in
connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to
so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The
Company need not reimburse any expenses or indemnify against any loss, liability
or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith. The Company need not pay for any settlement made by the
Trustee without the Company's consent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to
the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents,
successors and assigns.

          To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay
principal of and interest on particular Securities.

                                       45
<Page>

          The Company's payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge of this
Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default
specified in Section 6.01(h), (i) or (j) with respect to the Company, the
expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the
Bankruptcy Law.

          The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.

          SECTION 7.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee may resign at any
time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Securities then outstanding may remove the
Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The
Company shall remove the Trustee if:

          (1)     the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

          (2)     the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

          (3)     a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee
     or its property; or

          (4)     the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders a
majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities then
outstanding and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor
Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the
Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien
provided for in Section 7.07.

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of
10% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities then outstanding
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

                                       46

          SECTION 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER. If the Trustee consolidates
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking
association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. In case at
the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to
the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the
Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor
to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor
trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time
any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to
the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all
such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in
the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee
shall have.

          SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. The Trustee shall at all
times satisfy the requirements of TIA 310(a). The Trustee shall have (or, in the
case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related
bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company's) most
recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA
310(b), subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA 310(b)(1) any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or
participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA 310(b)(1) are met.

          For purposes of this Section 7.10 and clause (i) of the first proviso
contained in TIA Section 310(b), the Indenture, dated August 18, 2004, among
Marquee Inc. and HSBC Bank USA, National Association providing for the issuance
of the 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2012, the Indenture, dated August 18, 2004, among
Marquee Inc. and HSBC Bank USA, National Association providing for the issuance
of the Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2010, the Indenture, dated as of January
27, 1999 as amended, among AMC Entertainment Inc. and HSBC Bank USA, National
Association as successor to The Bank of New York, providing for the issuance of
the 9 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011, the Indenture, dated as of
January 16, 2002, as amended, among AMC Entertainment Inc. and HSBC Bank USA,
National Association as successor to The Bank of New York, providing for the
issuance of the 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 and the Indenture,
dated as of February 24, 2004, among AMC Entertainment Inc. and HSBC Bank USA,
National Association providing for the issuance of the 8% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2014, are hereby deemed to be specifically described.

          SECTION 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. The
Trustee shall comply with TIA 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed
in TIA 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to
TIA 311(a) to the extent indicated.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                       DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

          SECTION 8.01. DISCHARGE OF LIABILITY ON SECURITIES; DEFEASANCE. (a)
When (i) either (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding
Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for
cancellation or (2) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable,
whether at maturity or upon redemption or will become due and payable within one
year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption pursuant to
Article Three and the Company irrevocably deposits or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders money in
U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts
as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to
pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and
interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to the date of maturity or
redemption (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07); (ii) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will
not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other
instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the
Company or any Guarantor is bound; (iii) the Company or any Guarantor has paid
or caused to be paid all sums payable under this Indenture and the Securities;
and (iv) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under
this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such
Securities at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be, then upon
demand of the Company (accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with) this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Securities and
the Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, at
the cost and expense of the Company.

          (b)     Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time
may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture
("LEGAL DEFEASANCE OPTION") or (ii) its obligations under Section 5.01(c) and
Sections 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 4.11(a), and the operation of
Sections 6.01(c) (with respect to a Event of Default due to a failure to meet
obligations under Section 5.01(c)), (d), (e), (f) and (g) ("COVENANT DEFEASANCE
OPTION"). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding
its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

          If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the
Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company
exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be
accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d) (with
respect to the covenants of Article Four identified in the immediately preceding
paragraph and the provisions of 5.01(c)), 6.01(e), (f) or (g).

          Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request
of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those
obligations that the Company terminates.

                                       48
<Page>

          (c)     Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company's
obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 4.01, 4.02,
4.03, 4.12, 7.07, 7.08, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the
Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company's obligations in
Sections 7.07, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive.

          SECTION 8.02. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE. The Company may exercise its
legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

          (a)     The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
     deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements
     of Section 7.10 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this
     Article Eight applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of
     making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and
     dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A)
     cash in U.S. Dollars in an amount, or (B) Government Securities which
     through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof
     in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before
     the due date of any payment, cash in U.S. Dollars in an amount, or (C) a
     combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
     firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
     thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge and which shall be
     applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge,
     the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any
     Additional Interest) on the outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity
     (or redemption date, if applicable) of such principal (and premium, if any)
     or installment of interest; PROVIDED that the Trustee shall have been
     irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such
     Government Securities to said payments with respect to the Securities.
     Before such a deposit, the Company may give the Trustee, in accordance with
     Section 3.01 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all of the
     outstanding Securities at a future date in accordance with Article Three
     which notice shall be irrevocable.

          (b)     No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Section 6.01(h), (i)
     or (j) is concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day
     after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition
     shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

          (c)     the deposit does not constitute a default hereunder or under
     any other material agreement binding on the Company;

          (d)     the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
     the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute,
     or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment
     Company Act of 1940;

          (e)     in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall
     have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the
     Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
     Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there
     has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case
     to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall

                                       49
<Page>

     confirm that, the Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss
     for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be
     subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
     at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not
     occurred;

          (f)     in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company
     shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
     that the Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for
     Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and
     will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
     manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant
     defeasance had not occurred; and

          (g)     the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
     and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to
     the defeasance and discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this
     Article Eight have been complied with.

          SECTION 8.03. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.

          The Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Securities
deposited with it pursuant to this Article Eight. It shall apply the deposited
money and the money from Government Securities through the Paying Agent and in
accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on
the Securities.

          SECTION 8.04. REPAYMENT TO COMPANY. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or
securities held by them at any time.

          Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for
the payment of principal, premium or interest that remains unclaimed for two
years, and, thereafter, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors.

          SECTION 8.05. INDEMNITY FOR GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS. The Company shall
pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against deposited Government Securities or the principal and
interest received on such Government Securities.

          SECTION 8.06. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable
to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with this Article
Eight by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of
any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, the Company's obligations under this Indenture and
the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to this Article Eight until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with
this Article Eight; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Company has made any payment
of interest on or principal of any Securities because of the reinstatement of
its obligations, the Company shall be

                                       50
<Page>

subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   AMENDMENTS

          SECTION 9.01. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS. The Company and the Trustee
may amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any
Securityholder:

          (1)     to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

          (2)     to comply with Article Five;

          (3)     to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in
     place of certificated Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
     uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of
     Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated
     Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;

          (4)     to add Guarantees with respect to the Securities or to secure
     the Securities;

          (5)     to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
     Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the
     Company;

          (6)     to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with
     qualifying, or maintaining the qualification of, this Indenture under the
     TIA; or

          (7)     to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights
     of any Securityholder.

          After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The
failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall
not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

          SECTION 9.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS. The Company and the Trustee may
amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any Securityholder but
with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Securities then outstanding (including
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the
Securities). However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected
thereby, an amendment may not:

          (a)     change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or Accreted
     Value of, or any installment of interest (including Additional Interest)
     on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount at maturity or Accreted
     Value thereof or the rate of interest (including Additional Interest, if
     any) thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change
     the coin or currency in which the principal of any Security or any premium
     or the interest (including Additional Interest) thereon is payable, or
     impair the right to

                                       51
<Page>

     institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after the Stated
     Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption
     date); or

          (b)     reduce the amount of, or change the coin or currency of, or
     impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of, the Change of
     Control Purchase Price; or

          (c)     reduce the percentage in principal amount at maturity of the
     outstanding Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required for any
     such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required
     for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
     certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this
     Indenture; or

          (d)     modify any of the provisions of this Section or Sections 6.04,
     6.07 and 4.13, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that
     certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived
     without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected thereby.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

          After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The
failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall
not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

          SECTION 9.03. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every amendment to
this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

          SECTION 9.04. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS AND WAIVERS. A consent
to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and
every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of
the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or
subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder's Security
or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation
before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or
waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder. An amendment or
waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the
Trustee.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or
take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken
pursuant to this Indenture. Such record date shall be a date not more than 30
days prior to the first solicitation of holders generally in connection
therewith and no later than the date such solicitation is completed. If a record
date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph or
Section 316(c) of the TIA, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record
date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be
entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to
take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after
such

                                       52
<Page>

record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 180
days after such record date.

          For all purposes of this Indenture, all Initial Securities, Additional
Securities of the same series, Exchange Securities for the same series of
Securities and Private Exchange Securities for the same series of Securities
shall vote together as one series of Securities under this Indenture.

          SECTION 9.05. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES. If an amendment
changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the
Security to deliver such Security to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an
appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return such
Security to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to
make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the
validity of such amendment.

          SECTION 9.06. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS. The Trustee shall sign any
amendment authorized pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and
to receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 11.04 and (subject
to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized
or permitted by this Indenture.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                    GUARANTEE

          SECTION 10.01. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE. Subject to the provisions of this
Article Ten, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally
with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Securities and the Trustee, the
full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, of the Accreted Value, principal of, premium, if any,
and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities and all
other obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Indenture (including
without limitation interest accruing after the filing of any petition in
bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like
proceeding, relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for
post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the
obligations under Section 7.07) (all the foregoing being hereinafter
collectively called the "GUARANTOR OBLIGATIONS"). Each Guarantor agrees that the
Guarantor Obligations will rank equally in right of payment with other
Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is
subordinate to the Guarantor Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees (to the
extent permitted by law) that the Guarantor Obligations may be extended or
renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that
it will remain bound under this Article Ten notwithstanding any extension or
renewal of any Guarantor Obligation.

                                       53
<Page>

          Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and
protest to the Company of any of the Guarantor Obligations and also waives
notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default
under the Securities or the Guarantor Obligations.

          Each Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein
constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection)
and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any
security held for payment of the Guarantor Obligations.

          Except as set forth in Section 10.02, the obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guarantor
Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or
otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected
by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
right or remedy against the Company or any other person under this Indenture,
the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal
granted; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the
terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement;
(d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the
Guarantor Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise
any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership
of the Company; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the
performance of the Guarantor Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or
omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner
or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a
discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 4.08, each Guarantor agrees that
its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until
payment in full of all the Guarantor Obligations or such Guarantor is released
from its Subsidiary in compliance with Section 10.03 hereof. Each Guarantor
further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Guarantor Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

          In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other
right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue
hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations
when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon
receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in
cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such
Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on
such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not
prohibited by law).

                                       54
<Page>

          Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the
one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guarantor
Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture
for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such
declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor
Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee.

          Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or
the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section.

          SECTION 10.02. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE FOR
FUTURE GUARANTORS.

          To further evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee, each Subsidiary and
other Person that is required to become a Guarantor hereby agrees to execute a
supplement to this Indenture, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, or
a Subsidiary Guarantee, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, and
deliver it to the Trustee. Such Subsidiary Guarantee or supplement to this
Indenture shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by either manual or
facsimile signature of one Officer or other person duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action of each Guarantor who shall have been duly authorized
to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability
of any Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not
affixed to any particular Security.

          Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on
each Security a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

          If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a
Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee
authenticates the Security on which such Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed or at
any time thereafter, such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee of such Security
shall nevertheless be valid.

          The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication
thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Subsidiary Guarantee set
forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

          SECTION 10.03. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; TERMINATION, RELEASE AND
DISCHARGE.

          (a)     Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder will be limited to
the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and
fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any
Guarantees under the Credit Facility) and after giving effect to any collections
from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant
to its contribution obligations

                                       55
<Page>

under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its
Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable
under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

          (b)     In addition, the Company shall not permit any Guarantor to
consolidate with or merge with or into any person (other than another Guarantor)
and shall not permit the conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of
the assets of any Guarantor UNLESS:

          (1)     the resulting, surviving or transferee Person shall be a
                  corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company
                  organized and existing under the laws of the United States of
                  America, any State of the United States or the District of
                  Columbia and such Person (if not such Guarantor) shall
                  expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and
                  delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of such
                  Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee;

          (2)     immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and
                  treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the
                  resulting, surviving or transferee Person or any Subsidiary as
                  a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by such
                  Person or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no
                  Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                  continuing;

          (3)     the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
                  Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
                  consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental
                  indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture; or

          (4)     the transaction is made in compliance with Section 5.01 (other
                  than clause (c) of Section 5.01).

          Upon the sale or disposition of a Guarantor (by merger, consolidation,
the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the Guarantor is the surviving
corporation in such transaction to a Person which is not the Company or a
Subsidiary, such Guarantor will be automatically released from all its
obligations under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee and the
Registration Rights Agreement and such Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (1) the sale or other disposition is in compliance with
this Indenture, including Section 5.01 (other than clause (c) thereof); and (2)
all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Credit Facility and related
documentation and any other obligations of such Guarantor relating to any other
Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries terminate upon consummation of
such transaction.

          (c)     Each Guarantor shall be deemed released from all its
obligations under this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement and such
Subsidiary Guarantee shall terminate upon the legal defeasance of the Securities
pursuant to the provisions of Article Eight hereof.

                                       56
<Page>

          (d)     Each Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under
this Indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement
if the Company designates such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such
designation complies with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture.

          SECTION 10.04. RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION. Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that to the extent that any Guarantor shall have paid more than its
proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Subsidiary
Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution
from and against the Company, or any other Guarantor who has not paid its
proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.04 shall
in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the
Trustee and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee
and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

          SECTION 10.05. NO SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding any payment or payments
made by each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be
subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company
or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of
offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guarantor
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect
of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the
Trustee and the Holders by the Company on account of the Guarantor Obligations
are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of
such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations shall
not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust
for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor,
and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the
Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such
Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guarantor
Obligations.

                                   ARTICLE XI

          SECTION 11.01. TRUST INDENTURE ACT CONTROLS. If any provision of this
Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision that is required

control.

          452 Fifth Avenue
          New York, NY 10018
          Attention of: Corporate Trust

          The Company or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate
additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.

          Any notice or communication mailed to a Securityholder shall be mailed
to the Securityholder at the Securityholder's address as it appears on the
registration books of the Registrar and shall be sufficiently given if so mailed
within the time prescribed.

          Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Securityholder or any
defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other
Securityholders. If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided
above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

          SECTION 11.03. COMMUNICATION BY HOLDERS WITH OTHER HOLDERS.
Securityholders may communicate pursuant to TIA 312(b) with other
Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the
Securities. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have
the protection of TIA 312(c).

          SECTION 11.04. CERTIFICATE AND OPINION AS TO CONDITIONS. Upon any
request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take or refrain from
taking any action under this Indenture, other than the authentication of the
Initial Securities on the date hereof, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

          (1)     an Officers' Certificate in form and substance reasonably
     satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of the signers,
     all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating
     to the proposed action have been complied with; and

          (2)     an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably
     satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
     all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

          SECTION 11.05. STATEMENTS REQUIRED IN CERTIFICATE OR OPINIONS. Each
certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition
provided for in this Indenture shall include:

                                       58
<Page>

          (1)     a statement that the individual making such certificate or
     opinion has read such covenant or condition;

          (2)     a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
     examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
     contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

          (3)     a statement that, in the opinion of such individual, he has
     made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to
     express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition
     has been complied with; and

          (4)     a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such
     individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with.

          In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by, the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

          Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as
it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous.

          Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

          SECTION 11.06. WHEN SECURITIES DISREGARDED. In determining whether the
Holders of the required principal amount at maturity of Securities have
concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company,
Marquee Inc. or the Guarantors or by any Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with of
them shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the
purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any
such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Trust Officer knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only
Securities outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such
determination.

                                       59
<Page>

          SECTION 11.07. RULES BY TRUSTEE, PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. The
Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Securityholders.
The Registrar and the Paying Agent or co-registrar may make reasonable rules for
their functions.

          SECTION 11.08. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. A "LEGAL HOLIDAY" is a Saturday, a
Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are not required to be open in the
States of New York or Missouri. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment
shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no
interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is a
Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected.

          SECTION 11.09. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.

          SECTION 11.10. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company, Marquee Inc. and any
Guarantors shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or
the Guarantors under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on,
in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a
Security, each Securityholder shall waive and release all such liability. The
waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities.

          SECTION 11.11. SUCCESSORS. All agreements of the Company and any
Guarantor in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind their respective
successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its
successors.

          SECTION 11.12. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. In case any provision in this
Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          SECTION 11.13. RELIANCE ON FINANCIAL DATA. In computing any amounts
under this Indenture: (i) to the extent relevant in computing any amounts under
this Indenture the Company shall use audited financial statements of the
Company, its Subsidiaries, any Person that would become a Subsidiary in
connection with the transaction that requires the computation and any Person
from which the Company or a Subsidiary has acquired an operating business, or is
acquiring an operating business in connection with the transaction that requires
the computation (each such Person whose financial statements are relevant in
computing any particular amount, a "RELEVANT PERSON") for the period or portions
of the period to which the computation relates for which audited financial
statements are available on the date of computation and unaudited financial
statements and other current financial data based on the books and records of
the Relevant Person or Relevant Persons, as the case may be, to the extent
audited financial statements for the period or any portion of the period to
which the computation relates are not available on the date of computation; and
(ii) the Company shall be permitted to rely in good faith on the financial
statements and other financial data derived from the books and records of any
Relevant Person that are available on the date of the computation.

          SECTION 11.14. MULTIPLE ORIGINALS. The parties may sign any number of
copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them
together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this
Indenture.

          SECTION 11.15. TABLE OF CONTENTS; HEADINGS. The table of contents,
cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this
Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended

                                   MANAGEMENT

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS

          AMCE has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Peter C.
Brown, Philip M. Singleton, Richard T. Walsh, John D. McDonald and Craig R.
Ramsey each dated as of July 1, 2001. Such persons currently receive the
following annual salaries pursuant to their employment contracts: Mr.
Brown--$728,300; Mr. Singleton--$468,200; Mr. Walsh--$338,200; Mr.
Ramsey--$331,500; and Mr. McDonald--$312,200. The employment agreements also
provide for discretionary bonuses, an automobile allowance, reimbursement of
reasonable travel and entertainment expenses and other benefits offered from
time to time to other executive officers. The employment agreement of Mr. Brown
has a term of five years, that of Mr. Singleton has a term of three years and
those of Mr. Walsh, Mr. Ramsey and Mr. McDonald have terms of two years. On the
anniversary date of each employment agreement, one year is added to its term, so
that each employment agreement always has a five-year, three-year or two-year
term, as the case may be, as of each anniversary date. Each employment agreement
terminates generally without severance if such employee is terminated for cause
or upon such employee's retirement or resignation without good reason, each as
defined in his employment agreement. AMCE will pay the employee a pro rata
portion of the bonus he would otherwise be eligible to receive upon termination
by reason of the employee's retirement. If any of Messrs. Walsh, McDonald or
Ramsey dies or is terminated without cause or following his disability or
terminates his agreement subsequent to specified changes in his
responsibilities, annual base salary or benefits following a change of control,
each as defined in the agreement, he will be entitled to receive a lump sum cash
payment equal to two years annual base salary. If either Mr. Brown or Mr.
Singleton dies or is terminated without cause or following his disability or
terminates his agreement for good reason or following a change of control, each
as defined in the agreement, he will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum cash
payment equal to five times the sum of such employee's then annual base salary
and annual bonus such employee would be entitled to receive as if the target
level had been obtained and (ii) a cash payment equal to the difference between
(a) the value of all vested and unvested stock options granted to the employee
which have an exercise price per share less than the closing price per share of
our common stock on the date of termination and (b) the exercise price of such
options. The amounts payable under these employment agreements, assuming
termination by reason of a change of control as of July 1, 2004, were as
follows: Mr. Brown--$6,091,500; Mr. Singleton--$2,340,600, Mr. Walsh--$676,400;
Mr. McDonald--$624,400, and Mr. Ramsey--$663,000. The values of outstanding
employee stock options that would be payable under these employment agreements,
assuming termination by reason of a change of control as of July 1, 2004, were
as follows: Mr. Brown--$809,000 and Mr. Singleton--$333,000. Mr. Brown and Mr.
Singleton have each waived their right to termination payments that would
otherwise be payable in connection with a change of control as a result of the
Merger, subject to (i) our adoption within 60 days following the

----------
(1)  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set
     forth in the Offering Memorandum.

<Page>

consummation of the Merger of a new management stock option plan for
approximately 6% of the number of fully-diluted shares of our common stock
outstanding as of the date of the Merger and (ii) the opportunity to directly
purchase our shares at or around the time of the consummation of the Merger. Mr.
Brown and Mr. Singleton will be granted options to purchase approximately 113
and 116, respectively, of the shares initially reserved under the new option
plan, at an exercise price equal to the effective per share price paid by the
Sponsors in the Merger. Such options will vest 20% per year subject to the
executive's continued employment and will vest in full upon consummation of a
change of control of us or Holdings. The Merger does not constitute a change of
control as defined in the employment agreements of Messrs. Walsh, McDonald or
Ramsey.

          As permitted by AMCE's 1994 and 1999 stock option and incentive plans,
stock options granted to participants thereunder provide for acceleration upon
the termination of employment within one year after the occurrence of certain
change of control events, whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary,
or with or without cause. In addition, the compensation committee may permit
acceleration upon the occurrence of certain extraordinary transactions which may
not constitute a change of control. The compensation committee may also permit
acceleration of awards under the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan upon the
occurrence of a change of control. The Merger will constitute a change of
control under AMCE's 1994 and 1999 stock option and incentive plans and
accordingly all outstanding options will be cancelled and holders of
in-the-money options under these plans will receive cash payments as a result of
the Merger. See "Use of Proceeds."

          AMCE maintain a severance pay plan for full-time salaried
nonbargaining employees with at least 90 days of service. For an eligible
employee who is subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act overtime pay
requirements, referred to as a "nonexempt eligible employee," the plan provides
for severance pay in the case of involuntary termination of employment due to
layoff of the greater of two week's basic pay or one week's basic pay multiplied
by the employee's full years of service up to no more than twelve weeks' basic
pay. There is no severance pay for a voluntary termination, unless up to two
weeks' pay is authorized in lieu of notice. There is no severance pay for an
involuntary termination due to an employee's misconduct. Only two weeks'
severance pay is paid for an involuntary termination due to substandard
performance. For an eligible employee who is exempt from the overtime pay
requirements, severance pay is discretionary (at the department head/supervisor
level), but will not be less than the amount that would be paid to a nonexempt
eligible employee.

              CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

          AMC Entertainment seeks to ensure that all transactions with related
parties are fair, reasonable and in its best interest. In this regard, generally
its board of directors or one of its committees reviews material transactions
between it and related parties to determine that, in their best business
judgment, such transactions meet that standard. AMC Entertainment believes that
each of these transactions was on terms at least as favorable to it as could
have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party. Set forth below is a
description of certain transactions which have occurred since April 4, 2003 or
which include obligations that remain outstanding as of April 1, 2004.

<Page>

          In connection with the Company's 1997 merger with Durwood, Inc., the
Company agreed to pay Mr. Stanley H. Durwood's estate any credit amounts arising
after March 31, 2000 that result from next tax benefits that the Company
realizes from the utilization of alternative minimum tax credit carry-forwards
and Missouri operating loss carry-forwards of Durwood, Inc. The maximum amount
of credit amounts that could be paid to Mr. Durwood's estate is approximately
$1.1 million. As of April 1, 2004, the Company has not realized any of Durwood,
Inc.'s net tax benefits on the tax returns it has filed since 1998.

          AMC Entertainment leases certain of its theatres from Entertainment
Properties Trust ("EPT"). Mr. Peter C. Brown, Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President of AMCE was also the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of EPT until May of 2003 at which time his term expired and he did not
stand for reelection to the Board of Trustees of EPT. Payments to EPT for rent
were approximately $65,000,000 in fiscal 2004.

          During fiscal 2004, AMC Entertainment sold the real estate assets
associated with three theatres to EPT for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $63.9 million and then leased the real estate assets associated
with the theatres from EPT pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases with
terms of 20 years at an initial lease rate of 9.5% with options to extend for up
to an additional 15 years. The leases are triple net leases that require AMC
Entertainment to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation of
the theatres, such as taxes and other governmental charges, insurance,
utilities, service, maintenance and any ground lease payments.

          On December 23, 2003 and January 29, 2004, AMC Entertainment approved
payment of legal fees in the amount of $590,000 and reimbursement of other
out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $170,000 on behalf of the initial
purchasers of its Series A convertible preferred stock. On November 18, 2003,
December 23, 2003 and May 25, 2004, AMC Entertainment approved payment of legal
fees in the amount of $235,000 on behalf of its Class B stockholder, the Durwood
Voting Trust. The costs were incurred in connection with the consideration of a
possible business combination between AMC Entertainment and Loews Cineplex
Entertainment Corporation. On January 22, 2004, AMC Entertainment announced that
its previously announced discussions with Loews Cineplex Entertainment
Corporation relating to a possible business combination have been terminated.

          On April 19, 2001, AMC Entertainment entered into an investment
agreement and certain related agreements with certain affiliates of Apollo, one
of the Sponsors. Pursuant to that agreement, AMC Entertainment sold the Apollo
affiliates an aggregate of 92,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock
and 158,000 shares of Series B exchangeable preferred stock. All outstanding
Series B exchangeable preferred stock was subsequently exchanged for Series A
convertible preferred stock. As of April 19, 2004, the Apollo affiliates owned
94.1% of AMC Entertainment's Series A convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to
its agreements with the Apollo affiliates, AMC Entertainment may not take
certain corporate actions, including the consummation of the Merger and the
issuance of the Opco notes, without the prior consent of Apollo. We refer to
these approval rights granted to the Apollo affiliates as the "preferred stock
approval rights."

<Page>

          Apollo has consented to the Merger for purposes of its preferred stock
approval rights. See "Apollo and Durwood voting agreements" below. In connection
with the Merger, Apollo will receive up to an aggregate amount of cash proceeds
for its AMCE shares of approximately (i) $869.8 million if the Merger is
consummated on or after October 1, 2004 up to and including December 31, 2004,
including $85.7 million attributable to distributions payable to Apollo pursuant
to the terms of the Series A convertible preferred stock and (ii) due to the
timing of dividend payments at the end of each calendar quarter for the Series A
convertible preferred stock, $855.3 million if the Merger is consummated on or
after January 1, 2005 up to and including January 31, 2005, including $71.3
million attributable to distributions payable to Apollo pursuant to the terms of
the Series A convertible preferred stock. Additionally, the Sponsors will
receive $20.0 million in the aggregate in payment of transaction fees in
connection with the Transactions, which are included in "Use of Proceeds." Upon
consummation of the Merger, JPMP and Apollo will own a majority, and certain
members of management will own a portion, of the voting stock of Holdings.

          Affiliates of JPMorgan Chase Bank, who are affiliates of JPMP, are an
initial purchaser of the notes and have provided commitments with respect to
certain of the financings contemplated hereby. See "Summary--The Transactions."
In addition, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, which is an
affiliate of JPMP, is acting as escrow agent and securities intermediary in
connection with the escrow account described in this offering memorandum and in
connection with the Opco Notes, for which it will be paid customary fees.

          For a description of certain employment agreements between AMC
Entertainment and Messrs. Peter C. Brown, Philip M. Singleton, John D. McDonald,
Richard T. Walsh and Craig R. Ramsey, see "Management--Employment Contracts,
Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements."

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

          In connection with the Transactions, JPMP and Apollo entered into a
subscription agreement on July 22, 2004 that provided that JPMP and Apollo have
committed to contribute approximately $393.5 million and approximately $391.9
million, respectively, to Holdings in exchange for 50.1% and 49.9% of Holdings'
common stock, respectively, although these percentages will be reduced once
certain members of management purchase common stock of Holdings in amounts to be
determined. The agreement provides that we will be prohibited from taking
certain significant actions including those related to tax structuring,
financing, selection and arrangements for retention of management and regulatory
approvals and from taking any action or making any decision relating to the
merger agreement without the approval of both Sponsors. The Sponsors also agreed
to in good faith negotiate their rights and obligations with respect to
registration rights, tag-along rights, drag-along rights and obligations,
transfer restrictions and pre-IPO preemptive rights before consummation of the
Merger, but have not done so as of the date of this offering memorandum.
Holdings may pay the Sponsors an annual management fee of up to $2.0 million in
the aggregate although no final decision has been made in this regard.

APOLLO AND DURWOOD VOTING AGREEMENTS

<Page>

          In connection with the Transactions, AMC Entertainment entered into
voting agreements with Apollo and certain of its affiliates as well as the
Durwood Voting Trust. Under each of their respective agreements, Apollo and the
Durwood Voting Trust each agreed to vote, with respect to Apollo and its
affiliates, their respective shares of common stock, including any common stock
received upon the conversion of preferred stock and, with respect to the Durwood
Voting Trust, its shares of Class B common stock, in favor of the Merger and
related transactions and against any action that Apollo or the Durwood Voting
Trust, as the case may be, is aware would result in a breach of the Merger
Agreement or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of a condition
to the Merger Agreement. AMC Entertainment also granted a waiver of certain
restrictions under existing agreements, allowing Apollo and other stockholders
to convert their shares of preferred stock into common stock immediately prior
to the Merger in accordance with AMC Entertainment's certificate of designations
relating to the preferred stock. In addition, pursuant to the Apollo voting
agreement, Apollo has consented to the Merger. Both of the Apollo and Durwood
voting agreements terminate in the event the Company's Independent Committee or
Board of Directors changes its recommendation of the Merger to the shareholders
or in the event the Merger Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.
Apollo has also consented to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement for purposes of its "preferred stock approval rights"
granted to it pursuant to the April 2001 investment agreement.

TAX SHARING AGREEMENT

          We will enter into a tax sharing agreement with AMC Entertainment
under which AMC Entertainment will make cash payments to us to enable us to pay
any (i) Federal, state or local income taxes to the extent that such income
taxes are directly attributable to AMC Entertainment and its subsidiaries income
and (ii) franchise taxes and other fees required to maintain our legal existence
as well as up to $3.5 million in any fiscal year to permit us to pay our
corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business and
salaries or other compensation of employees who perform services for both us and
AMC Entertainment.

          II.     THE SECURITIES

     2.1  FORM AND DATING. (a) The Initial Securities and any Additional
Securities will be offered and sold by the Company, from time to time, pursuant
to one or more Purchase Agreements. Unless registered or exempt from
registration under the Securities Act, the Initial Securities and any Additional
Securities will be resold, initially only to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A under
the Securities Act ("RULE 144A") and to non-U.S. persons in reliance on
Regulation S under the Securities Act ("REGULATION S"). Initial Securities and
Additional Securities so issued may thereafter be transferred to, among others,
QIBs, purchasers in reliance on Regulation S and IAIs under Rule 501(a)(1), (2),
(3) or (7) under the Securities Act, subject to the restrictions on transfers
set forth herein.

     (b) GLOBAL SECURITIES. Rule 144A Securities shall be issued initially in
the form of one or more permanent global Securities in definitive, fully
registered form (collectively, the "Rule 144A Global Security") and Regulation S
Securities shall be issued initially in the form of one or more global Temporary
Regulation S Global Securities (collectively, the "Regulation S Global
Security"), in each case without interest coupons and bearing the Global
Securities Legend and Restricted Securities Legend, which shall be deposited on
behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the
Securities Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee

definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons and bearing the
Global Securities Legend and the Restricted Securities Legend (collectively, the
"IAI Global Security") shall also be issued on the Issue Date, deposited with
the Securities Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depository or a
nominee of the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the
Trustee as provided in this Indenture to accommodate transfers of beneficial
interests in the Securities to IAIs subsequent to the initial distribution.
Beneficial ownership interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security
shall not be exchangeable for interests in the Rule 144A Global Security, the
IAI Global Security, a permanent Regulation S Global Security or any Security
without a Restricted Securities Legend until the expiration of the Distribution
Compliance Period. The Rule 144A Global Security, the IAI Global Security and
the Regulation S Global Security are each referred to herein as a "Global
Security" and are collectively referred to herein as "Global Securities";
PROVIDED that the term "Global Security" when used in Sections 2.1(b), 2.1(c),
2.3(g)(i), 2.3(h)(i) and 2.4 shall also include any Security in global form
issued in connection with a Registered Exchange Offer. The aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased
or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the
Depository or its nominee and on the schedules thereto as hereinafter provided.

          (c)     BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS. This Section 2.1(b) shall apply only to
a Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.

          The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with
this Section 2.1(b) and pursuant to an order of the Company, authenticate and
deliver initially one or more Global Securities that (a) shall be registered in
the name of the Depository for such Global Security or Global Securities or the
nominee of such Depository and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such
Depository or pursuant to such Depository's instructions or held by the Trustee
as Securities Custodian.

          Members of, or participants in, the Depository ("AGENT MEMBERS") shall
have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on
their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as Securities Custodian or
under such Global Security, and the Depository may be treated by the Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of
such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the
Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such
Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial
interest in any Global Security.

          (d)     DEFINITIVE SECURITIES. Except as provided in Section 2.3,
owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will not be entitled to

respectively, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, for a like principal
amount at maturity of Initial Securities or Additional Securities, in each case
upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and
either a Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or a Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of the Company. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities
to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to
be authenticated and whether the Securities are to be Initial Securities,
Additional Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities.

          2.3     TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. (a) TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF DEFINITIVE
SECURITIES. When Definitive Securities are presented to the Registrar or a
co-registrar with a request:

          (i)     to register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or

          (ii)    to exchange such Definitive Securities for an equal principal
     amount at maturity of Definitive Securities of other authorized
     denominations, the Registrar or co-registrar shall register the transfer or
     make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such
     transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Securities
     surrendered for transfer or exchange:

                  (1)    shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
          instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company
          and the Registrar or co-registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof
          or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

                  (2)    are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an

          additional information and documents, as applicable:

                         (A)  if such Definitive Securities are being delivered
                  to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of
                  such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such
                  Holder to that effect; or

                         (B)  if such Definitive Securities are being
                  transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or

                         (C)  if such Definitive Securities are being
                  transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration in
                  accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (i) a
                  certification to that effect and (ii) if the Company so
                  requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably
                  satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions
                  set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i).

     (b) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF A DEFINITIVE SECURITY FOR A BENEFICIAL
INTEREST IN A GLOBAL SECURITY. A Definitive Security may not be exchanged for a
beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the
requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the

                                       A-5
<Page>

Trustee of a Definitive Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the
Registrar, together with:

          (i)     certification (in the form set forth on the reverse side of
     the Initial Security) that such Definitive Security is being transferred
     (1) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, (2) to an IAI that has furnished
     to the Trustee a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B or
     (3) outside the United States in an offshore transaction within the meaning
     of Regulation S and in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act,
     which certification shall be accompanied by a signed letter substantially
     in the form of Exhibit C; and

          (ii)    written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to
     direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and
     records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the
     aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global
     Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository
     account to be credited with such increase,

     then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Security and cause, or direct
     the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing
     instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the
     Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Securities
     represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate
     principal amount of the Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall
     credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in
     such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the
     principal amount of the Definitive Security so canceled. If no Global
     Securities are then outstanding and the Global Security has not been
     previously exchanged for certificated securities pursuant to Section 2.4,
     the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written
     order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate, a new Global
     Security in the appropriate principal amount.

          (c)     TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF GLOBAL SECURITIES.

          (i)     The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial
     interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance
     with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set
     forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A
     transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver a
     written order given in accordance with the Depository's procedures
     containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository
     to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security and such
     account shall be credited in accordance with such instructions with a
     beneficial interest in the Global Security and the account of the Person
     making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial
     interest in the Global Security being transferred. Transfers by an owner of
     a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security or the IAI Global
     Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the
     Regulation S Global Security, whether before or after the expiration of the
     Distribution Compliance Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the
     Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse of the
     Initial Securities from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is
     being made in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under
     the Securities Act and that, if such

                                       A-6
<Page>

     transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Distribution
     Compliance Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately
     thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream. In the case of a transfer of a
     beneficial interest in either the Regulation S Global Security or the Rule
     144A Global Security for an interest in the IAI Global Security, the
     transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of
     Exhibit B to the Trustee.

          (ii)    If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial
     interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global
     Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and
     an increase in the principal amount at maturity of the Global Security to
     which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the
     principal amount at maturity of the interest to be so transferred, and the
     Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
     corresponding decrease in the principal amount at maturity of Global
     Security from which such interest is being transferred.

          (iii)   Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Exhibit A (other
     than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security may not be
     transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the
     Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another
     nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a
     successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

          (iv)    In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for
     Securities in definitive registered form pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to
     the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a
     Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Securities, such
     Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are
     substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including
     the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial
     Securities or Additional Securities intended to ensure that such transfers
     comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from
     registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other
     procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

     (d) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF REGULATION S GLOBAL SECURITY. (i) Prior to
the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, interests in the
Regulation S Global Security may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream.
During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the
Regulation S Global Security may only be sold, pledged or transferred through
Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only
(1) to the Company, (2) so long as such security is eligible for resale pursuant

given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule
144A, (3) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (4)
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by
Rule 144 (if applicable) under the Securities Act, (5) to an IAI purchasing for
its own account, or for the account of such an IAI, in each case, in a minimum
principal amount of Securities of $250,000 or (6) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with
any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Prior to the

beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to a transferee who
takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Security or the IAI
Global Security shall be made only in accordance with Applicable Procedures and
upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of
the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial
Security to the effect that such transfer is being made to (1) a QIB within the
meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or
(2) an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the account of such an IAI, in
a minimum principal amount of the Securities of $250,000. Such written
certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Security for an interest in the IAI Global
Security, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form
of Exhibit B to the Trustee.

     (ii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial
ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Security shall be transferable in
accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this Indenture.

     Depository or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records
     of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof,
     with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to
     the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person
     (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of
     redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with

     Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and
     other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so

charge (although the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection therewith), and the Trustee

Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount at maturity of certificated
Securities of authorized denominations. Certificated Securities issued in

registered form without interest coupons.

semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each an "INTEREST
PAYMENT DATE"), commencing on February 15, 2010, to holders of record on the
immediately preceding February 1 and August 1, respectively. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, on any Interest Payment Date prior to August 15, 2009, the Company
may elect to commence to pay cash interest (from and after such Interest Payment
Date), in which case (i) the Company will be obligated to pay cash interest on
each subsequent Interest Payment Date, (ii) the Securities will cease to accrete
after such Interest Payment Date and (iii) the outstanding principal amount at
Stated Maturity of each Security will be equal to the Accreted Value of such
Security as of such Interest Payment Date. Interest and Accreted Value will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The
Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the
Securities plus 1% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments
of interest at the rate borne by the Securities to the extent lawful. Interest
will be payable as described in the foregoing paragraph, except as described
under Section 15 of this Security.

          (b)     ADDITIONAL INTEREST. The holder of this Security is entitled
to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2004,
between the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the "REGISTRATION
RIGHTS AGREEMENT"). The Additional Interest (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement), if any, will be payable in cash semiannually in arrears each
February 15 and August 15, in immediately available funds.

          2.      METHOD OF PAYMENT

          The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close
of business on the February 1 or

                                      A-21
<Page>

August 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are
canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date.
Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal
payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United
States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a
Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The
Depository Trust Company. The Company will make all payments in respect of a
certificated Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a
check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that
payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least
$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of Securities, by wire
transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the
United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written
notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such
account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for
payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

          3.      PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR

          Initially, HSBC Bank USA National Association, a national banking
association (the "TRUSTEE"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company
may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without
notice. The Company or any of its domestic Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries may act as
Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

          4.      INDENTURE

          The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of
August 18, 2004 (the "INDENTURE"), between the Company and the Trustee. The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C.
77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the "TIA"). Terms
defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and
Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of
those terms.

          The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and can
be issued in an initial amount of up to $304,000,000 aggregate principal amount
at maturity and additional amounts as part of the same series or new series
under the Indenture which are unlimited (subject to Sections 2.01 and 2.10 of
the Indenture). The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the
Company and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional
indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions in respect of their capital
stock, purchase or redeem capital stock, enter into transactions with
stockholders or certain affiliates, create liens or consolidate, merge or sell
all or substantially all of the Company's assets, other than in certain
transactions between the Company and one or more of its Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries. These limitations are subject to significant exceptions.
Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, prior to the
consummation of the merger of Marquee Inc. with and into AMC Entertainment Inc.,
the Company will be prohibited from engaging in certain activities.

          5.      OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

                                      A-22

may not be redeemed prior to August 15, 2009. On and after that date, the
Company may redeem the Securities in whole at any time or in part from time to
time at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal
amount at maturity thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that
is on or prior to the date of redemption), if redeemed during the 12-month
period beginning on or after August 15 of the years set forth below:

     Prior to August 15, 2007, the Company may on any one or more occasions
redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount at maturity of the
Securities with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a
redemption price of 112.000% of the Accreted Value thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders
of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date); PROVIDED that

     (1)  at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount at maturity of
          the Securities remains outstanding after each such redemption; and

     (2)  the redemption occurs within 90 days after the closing of such Equity
          Offering.

          6.      SPECIAL REDEMPTION

          In the event that (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated or (ii) the
Transactions are not closed on or before January 31, 2005 (each a "Special
Mandatory Redemption Event"), then the Company will redeem the Securities, in
whole but not in part, within two Business Days' notice, at a redemption price
in cash equal to 100% of the Accreted Value of the Securities to, but excluding,
the Special Redemption Date pursuant to the terms of the Discount Securities
Escrow Agreement. The "Special Redemption Date" means the second Business Day
after the first Special Mandatory Redemption Event. Any redemption made pursuant
to this Section 6 shall be made pursuant to the procedures set forth in the
Discount Securities Escrow Agreement.

          7.      SINKING FUND

          The Securities are not subject to any sinking fund.

          8.      NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

          Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30
days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed at his or her registered address. Securities in
denominations larger than $1,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 aggregate principal
amount at maturity. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and
accrued

                                      A-23
<Page>

interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the
redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption
date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest
ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for
redemption.

          9.      REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS UPON CHANGE
OF CONTROL

          Upon a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an
offer, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to repurchase
all or any part of the Securities of each Holder at a purchase price equal to
101% of the Accreted Value of Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase) as provided
in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

          10.     DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE

          The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $1,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity and whole multiples of $1,000
aggregate principal amount at maturity. A Holder may transfer or exchange
Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer
of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed)
or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a
selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment
date.

          11.     PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

          The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of
it for all purposes.

          12.     UNCLAIMED MONEY

          If money for the payment of principal, premium or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to
the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates
another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look
only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

          13.     DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE

          Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate
some of or all its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the
Company deposits with the Trustee money or Government Securities for the payment
of principal, premium and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity,
as the case may be.

                                      A-24
<Page>

          14.     AMENDMENT, WAIVER

          Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the
Indenture or the Securities may be amended without prior notice to any
Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Securities
and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount at
maturity of the outstanding Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth
in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Company
and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article Five
of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to
or in place of certificated Securities; (iv) to add Guarantees with respect to
the Securities; (v) to secure the Securities; (vi) to add additional covenants
or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to comply with
the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of
the Indenture under the TIA; or (viii) to make any change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder.

          15.     DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the
Securities then outstanding, subject to certain limitations, may declare all the
Securities to be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company
occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holders and if such Event of Default occurs prior to the
earlier of (i) the Cash Election Date and (ii) August 15, 2009, the Company will
thereafter be obligated to pay cash interest on each subsequent Interest Payment
Date and the Securities will cease to accrete. Under certain circumstances, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the outstanding
Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and
its consequences.

          Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities
except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the
Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in
its exercise of any trust or power under the Indenture. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities then
outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind any
declaration of acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not
conflict with any judgment or decree, and if all existing Events of Default have
been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become
due solely because of the acceleration.

          16.     TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY

          Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under
the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed
to it by the Company or its Affiliates

                                      A-25
<Page>

and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee.

          17.     NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS

          A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company
shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the
Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each
Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

          18.     AUTHENTICATION

          This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Security.

          19.     ABBREVIATIONS

          Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or
an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as

Act).

          20.     GOVERNING LAW

          THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          21.     CUSIP NUMBERS

          Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be
printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

the Holder receive a copy of the Indenture which has in it the text of this
Security. Requests may be made to: Stephan Oppenheimer, Marquee Inc., c/o J.P.

[        ]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[     ]
principal amount at maturity of the 12% Senior Discount Notes due 2014 (the
"SECURITIES") of Marquee Holdings Inc. (the "COMPANY").

          Upon transfer, the Securities would be registered in the name of the
new beneficial owner as follows:

          Name: _______________

          Address: ___________

          Taxpayer ID Number: ___________

          The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

          1.      We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined in
Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "SECURITIES ACT")), purchasing for our own account or for the account of
such an institutional "accredited investor" at least $250,000 principal amount
at maturity of the Securities, and we are acquiring the Securities not with a
view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation
of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our
investment in the Securities, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to
the Securities in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for
which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its
investment.

sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S
under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional "accredited investor" within
the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is
purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional
"accredited investor," in each case in a minimum principal amount at maturity of
Securities of $250,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the
foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property
or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our
or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws.
The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Securities
is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the

investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act.

prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction
Termination Date of the Securities pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to
require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other

Exchange Offer. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the

                 (b)    Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer

enable each Holder electing to exchange Securities for New Securities (assuming
that such Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company, acquires the New Securities
in the ordinary course of such Holder's business, has no arrangements with any
Person to participate in the distribution of the

                                        4

New Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such New Securities
from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the
Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of a substantial
proportion of the several states of the United States.

                 (c)    In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the
Company shall:

                 (i)    mail to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming
     part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an
     appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;

                 (ii)   keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less
     than 30 days and not more than 45 days after the date notice thereof is
     mailed to the Holders (or, in each case, longer if required by applicable
     law);

                 (iii)  use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
     Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective under the Act,
     supplemented and amended as required, under the Act to ensure that it is
     available for sales of New Securities by Exchanging Dealers during the
     Exchange Offer Registration Period;

                 (iv)   utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered
     Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan in New York
     City, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee;

                 (v)    permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any
     time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business
     Day on which the Registered Exchange Offer is open;

                 (vi)   prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
     Registration Statement, provide a supplemental letter to the Commission (A)
     stating that the Company is conducting the Registered Exchange Offer in
     reliance on the position of the Commission in EXXON CAPITAL HOLDINGS
     CORPORATION (pub. avail. May 13, 1988) and, MORGAN STANLEY AND CO., INC.
     (pub. avail. June 5, 1991); and (B) including a representation that the
     Company has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any
     Person to distribute the New Securities to be received in the Registered
     Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company's information and
     belief, each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer is
     acquiring the New Securities in the ordinary course of business and has no
     arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the
     distribution of the New Securities; and

                 (vii)  comply in all respects with all applicable laws.

                                        5
<Page>

                 (d)    As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered
Exchange Offer, the Company shall:

                 (i)    accept for exchange all Securities tendered and not
     validly withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer;

                 (ii)   deliver to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance
     with Section 5(s) all Securities so accepted for exchange; and

                 (iii)  cause the Trustee promptly to authenticate and deliver
     to each Holder of Securities a principal amount of New Securities equal to
     the principal amount of the Securities of such Holder so accepted for
     exchange.

                 (e)    Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any
Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Registered Exchange Offer to
participate in a distribution of the New Securities (x) could not under
Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the
position of the Commission in MORGAN STANLEY AND CO., INC. (pub. avail. June 5,
1991) and EXXON CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION (pub. avail. May 13, 1988), as
interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993
and similar no-action letters; and (y) must comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with any secondary
resale transaction and such transaction must be covered by an effective
registration statement containing the selling security holder information
required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K under the Act if
the resales are of New Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for
Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Company or one of its
Affiliates. Accordingly, each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange
Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that, at the time of the
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer:

                 (i)    any New Securities received by such Holder will be
     acquired in the ordinary course of business;

                 (ii)   such Holder will have no arrangement or understanding
     with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Securities or the
     New Securities within the meaning of the Act; and

                 (iii)  such Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company (or if it
     is, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
     requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable).

                 (f)    If any Initial Purchaser determines that it is not
eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the
exchange of Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, at the
request of such Initial Purchaser, the Company shall issue and deliver to such
Initial Purchaser or the Person purchasing New Securities registered under a
Shelf Registration Statement as contemplated by Section 3 hereof from such
Initial Purchaser, in exchange for such Securities, a like

                                        6
<Page>

principal amount of New Securities. The Company shall use its best efforts to
cause the CUSIP Service Bureau to issue the same CUSIP number for such New
Securities as for New Securities issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange
Offer.

     3.   SHELF REGISTRATION. (a) If (i) due to any change in law or applicable
interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff, the Company determines upon
advice of its outside counsel that it is not permitted to effect the Registered
Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section 2 hereof; (ii) for any other reason
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not effective within 210 days after
the Merger Closing Date; (iii) any Initial Purchaser so requests with respect to
Securities that are not eligible to be exchanged for New Securities in the
Registered Exchange Offer and that are held by it following consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer; (iv) any Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) is
not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or does not receive
freely tradeable New Securities in exchange for Securities constituting any
portion of an unsold allotment (it being understood that the requirement that an
Exchanging Dealer deliver a Prospectus in connection with sales of New
Securities acquired in the Registered Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities
acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities
shall not result in such New Securities being not "freely tradeable"), the
Company shall effect a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with
subsection (b) below.

                 (b)    (i)    The Company shall as promptly as practicable (but
in no event more than 90 days after so required or requested pursuant to this
Section 3), file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Act a Shelf
Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Securities or the
New Securities, as applicable, by the Holders thereof from time to time in
accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set
forth in such Shelf Registration Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Holder
(other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held
by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in
writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to
such Holder; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that with respect to New Securities received
by an Initial Purchaser in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of
an unsold allotment, the Company may, if permitted by current interpretations by
the Commission's staff, file a post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of
Regulation S-K, as applicable, in satisfaction of its obligations under this
subsection with respect thereto, and any such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, as so amended, shall be referred to herein as, and governed by the
provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration Statement.

                 (ii)   The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best
     efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective,
     supplemented and amended as required by the Act, in order to permit the
     Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a period of two
     years after the Merger Closing Date or such shorter period that will
     terminate when all the Securities or New Securities, as applicable, covered
     by the Shelf Registration

                                        7
<Page>

     Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (in
     any such case, such period being called the "SHELF REGISTRATION PERIOD").
     The Company shall be deemed not to have used its commercially reasonable
     best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the
     requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in
     Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such
     Securities during that period, unless (A) such action is required by
     applicable law; or (B) such action is taken by the Company in good faith
     and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company's
     obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets
     (to the extent permitted by the terms of the Indenture), so long as the
     Company promptly thereafter comply with the requirements of Section 5(k)
     hereof, if applicable.

                 (iii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
     3, the Company may for valid business reasons (other than avoidance of its
     obligations hereunder), including without limitation, a potential material
     acquisition, divestiture of assets or other material corporate transaction,
     notify Holders in writing that the Shelf Registration Statement is no
     longer effective or the Prospectus included therein is no longer usable for
     offers and sales of Securities or New Securities; PROVIDED that the use of
     the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein shall
     not be suspended for more than 45 days (whether or not consecutive) in the
     aggregate in any 12-month period. The Holders agree that upon receipt of
     any notice from the Company pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iii), it will
     discontinue use of the Prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration
     Statement until receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
     relating thereto or until advised in writing by the Company that the use of
     the Prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration Statement may be
     resumed.

                 (iv)   The Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement
     and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of
     the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or
     supplement, (A) to comply in all material respects with the applicable
     requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
     Commission; and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact
     or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
     in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
     under which they were made, not misleading.

     4.   SPECIAL INTEREST. If (a) on or prior to the 90th day following the
Merger Closing Date, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the
Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission, (b) on or prior
to the 180th day following the Merger Closing Date, the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement has not been declared effective, or on or prior to the
90th day following the Company's obligation to file the Shelf Registration
Statement, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed, (c) on or prior
to the 45th day following the date the Exchange Offer

                                        8
<Page>

Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Registered Exchange
Offer has not been consummated, or (d) after either the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared
effective, such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or
usable in connection with resales of Securities or New Securities in accordance
with and during the periods specified in this Agreement (each such event
referred to in clauses (a) through (d), a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), interest
("SPECIAL INTEREST") will accrue on the principal amount of the Securities and
the New Securities (in addition to the stated interest on the Securities and New
Securities) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default
shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have
been cured. Special Interest will accrue at a rate of $0.192 per week per $1,000
principal amount of notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Interest
shall accrue during or with respect to any suspension period referred to in
Section 3(b)(iii) above.

     All obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding paragraph that
are outstanding with respect to any Security at the time such Security is
exchanged for a New Security shall survive until such time as all such
obligations with respect to such Security have been satisfied in full.

     5.   ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with any Shelf
Registration Statement and, to the extent applicable, any Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or Market Making Registration Statement, the following
provisions shall apply.

                 (a)    The Company shall:

                 (i)    furnish to you, not less than five Business Days prior
     to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of any Exchange Offer
     Registration Statement and any Shelf Registration Statement, and each
     amendment thereof and each amendment or supplement, if any, to the
     Prospectus included therein (including all documents incorporated by
     reference therein after the initial filing) and shall use its best efforts
     to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such
     comments as you reasonably propose;

                 (ii)   include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on
     the facing page of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, in Annex B
     hereto in the forepart of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in a
     section setting forth details of the Exchange Offer, in Annex C hereto in
     the underwriting or plan of distribution section of the Prospectus
     contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and in Annex D
     hereto in the letter of transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered
     Exchange Offer;

                 (iii)  if requested by an Initial Purchaser, include the
     information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable,
     in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement;
     and

                                        9
<Page>

                 (iv)   in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include
     the names of the Holders that propose to sell Securities pursuant to the
     Shelf Registration Statement as selling security holders.

                 (b)    The Company shall ensure that:

                 (i)    any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and
     any Prospectus forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto
     complies in all material respects with the Act and the rules and
     regulations thereunder; and

                 (ii)   any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
     does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a
     material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

                 (c)    The Company shall advise you, the Holders of Securities
covered by any Shelf Registration Statement and any Exchanging Dealer under any
Exchange Offer Registration Statement that has provided in writing to the
Company a telephone or facsimile number and address for notices, and, if
requested by you or any such Holder or Exchanging Dealer, shall confirm such
advice in writing (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii) through (v) hereof
shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus
until the Company shall have remedied the basis for such suspension):

                 (i)    when a Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
     has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or
     any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

                 (ii)   of any request by the Commission for any amendment or
     supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for
     additional information;

                 (iii)  of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
     suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
     initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

                 (iv)   of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
     respect to the suspension of the qualification of the securities included
     therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding
     for such purpose; and

                 (v)    of the happening of any event that requires any change
     in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such date,
     the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a
     material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
     statements therein (in the

                                       10
<Page>

     case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they
     were made) not misleading.

                 (d)    The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement or the qualification of the securities therein for sale in any
jurisdiction at the earliest possible time.

                 (e)    The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities
covered by any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, at least one copy
of such Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto,
including all material incorporated therein by reference, and, if the Holder so
requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including exhibits incorporated by
reference therein).

                 (f)    The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period,
deliver to each Holder of Securities covered by any Shelf Registration
Statement, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each
preliminary Prospectus) included in such Shelf Registration Statement and any
amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request. The
Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto by each of the selling Holders of securities in connection with the
offering and sale of the securities covered by the Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement.

                 (g)    The Company shall furnish to each Exchanging Dealer
which so requests, without charge, at least one copy of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including all
material incorporated by reference therein, and, if the Exchanging Dealer so
requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including exhibits incorporated by
reference therein).

                 (h)    The Company shall promptly deliver to the Initial
Purchasers, each Exchanging Dealer and each other Person required to deliver a
Prospectus during the Exchange Offer Registration Period, without charge, as
many copies of the Prospectus included in such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as any such Person may
reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto by the Initial Purchasers, any Exchanging Dealer
and any such other Person that may be required to deliver a Prospectus following
the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the
New Securities covered by the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.

                 (i)    Prior to the Registered Exchange Offer or any other
offering of Securities or New Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement,
the Company shall arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities
or the New Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as any
Holder shall reasonably

                                       11
<Page>

request and will maintain such qualification in effect so long as required;
PROVIDED that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any
action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those
arising out of the Initial Placement, the Registered Exchange Offer or any
offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject.

                 (j)    The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of
Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing New Securities or Securities to be issued or sold pursuant to any
Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations
and registered in such names as Holders may request.

                 (k)    Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
subsections (c)(ii) through (v) above, the Company shall promptly prepare a
post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or an
amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered to initial purchasers of the
securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. In such circumstances, the period of effectiveness of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 2 and the Shelf
Registration Statement provided for in Section 3(b) shall each be extended by
the number of days from and including the date of the giving of a notice of
suspension pursuant to Section 5(c) to and including the date when the Initial
Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Exchanging Dealer shall
have received such amended or supplemented Prospectus pursuant to this Section.

                 (l)    Not later than the effective date of any Registration
Statement, the Company shall provide a CUSIP number for the Securities or the
New Securities, as the case may be, registered under such Registration Statement
and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for such Securities or New
Securities, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

                 (m)    The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission and shall make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practicable after the effective date of the applicable
Registration Statement an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Act.

                 (n)    The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act in a timely manner.

                 (o)    The Company may require each Holder of securities to be
sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such
information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such securities as the
Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in such
Registration Statement.

                                       12
<Page>

The Company may exclude from such Shelf Registration Statement the Securities or
New Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information
within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

                 (p)    In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company shall enter into such agreements and take all other appropriate actions
(including if requested an underwriting agreement in customary form) in order to
expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of the Securities or
New Securities, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is
entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification provisions and
procedures no less favorable than those set forth in Section 8 (or such other
provisions and procedures acceptable to the Majority Holders and the Managing
Underwriters, if any, with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to
Section 8).

                 (q)    In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company shall:

                 (i)    make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders
     of Securities or New Securities to be registered thereunder, any
     underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration
     Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the
     Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records,
     pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its
     subsidiaries;

                 (ii)   use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company's
     officers, directors and employees to supply all relevant information
     reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney,
     accountant or agent in connection with any such Registration Statement as
     is customary for similar due diligence examinations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
     that any information that is designated in writing by the Company , in good
     faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be
     kept confidential by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney,
     accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is made in connection with a
     court proceeding or required by law, or such information becomes available
     to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying
     obligation of confidentiality;

                 (iii)  make such representations and warranties to the Holders
     of Securities or New Securities registered thereunder and the underwriters,
     if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to
     underwriters in primary underwritten offerings and covering matters
     including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement;

                 (iv)   obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates

                 (i)    make reasonably available for inspection by such Initial
     Purchaser, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such

     including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement;

                 (iv)   obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates

                 (vi)   deliver such documents and certificates as may be
     reasonably requested by such Initial Purchaser or its counsel, including

Section shall be performed at the close of the Registered Exchange Offer and the
effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement.

                 (s)    If a Registered Exchange Offer is to be consummated,
upon delivery of the Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other
Person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the New Securities, the
Company shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the Securities so exchanged that
such Securities are being canceled in exchange for the New Securities. In no
event shall the Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

                 (t)    The Company will use its commercially reasonable best
efforts (i) if the Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such
Securities, to confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities or the New
Securities, as the case may be, covered by a Registration Statement; or (ii) if
the Securities were not previously rated, to cause the Securities covered by a
Registration Statement to be rated with at least one nationally recognized
statistical rating agency, if so requested by Majority Holders with respect to
the related Registration Statement or by any Managing Underwriters.

                 (u)    In the event that any Broker-Dealer shall underwrite any
Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling
group or "assist in the distribution" (within the meaning of the Rules of Fair
Practice and the By-Laws of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a
placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise,
assist such Broker-Dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules and
By-Laws, including, without limitation, by:

                 (i)    if such Rules or By-Laws shall so require, engaging a
     "qualified independent underwriter" (as defined in such Rules) to
     participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement, to exercise
     usual standards of due diligence with respect thereto and, if any portion
     of the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an
     underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to
     recommend the yield of such Securities;

                 (ii)   indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter
     to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 7
     hereof; and

                 (iii)  providing such information to such Broker-Dealer as may
     be required in order for such Broker-Dealer to comply with the requirements
     of such Rules.

                 (v)    The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
     take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities
     or the New Securities, as the case may be, covered by a Registration

Securities are outstanding and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (in such capacity,
the "MARKET MAKER") or any of its Affiliates is an Affiliate of the Company or
any of its Affiliates and proposes to make a market in the Securities or the New
Securities as part of its business in the ordinary course, the following
provisions shall apply for the sole benefit of the Market Maker:

          (i)    The Company shall (A) on the date that the Exchange Offer
     Registration Statement or, if required hereby, the Shelf Registration
     Statement is filed with the Commission, file a registration statement (the
     "MARKET MAKING REGISTRATION STATEMENT") (which may be the Exchange Offer
     Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement if permitted by
     the rules and regulations of the Commission) and use its commercially
     reasonable best efforts to cause such Market Making Registration Statement
     to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the consummation
     of the Registered Exchange Offer or the effective date of the Shelf
     Registration Statement, as applicable; (B) periodically amend such Market
     Making Registration Statement so that the information contained therein
     complies with the requirements of Section 10(a) under the Securities Act;
     (C) amend the Market Making Registration Statement or

                                       16
<Page>

     amend or supplement the related Prospectus when necessary to reflect any
     material changes in the information provided therein; and (D) amend the
     Market Making Registration Statement when required to do so in order to
     comply with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
     (1) prior to filing the Market Making Registration Statement, any amendment
     thereto or any supplement to the related Prospectus, the Company shall
     furnish to the Market Maker copies of all such documents proposed to be
     filed, which documents will be subject to the review of the Market Maker
     and its counsel and (2) the Company will not file any Market Making
     Registration Statement, any amendment thereto or any amendment or
     supplement to the related Prospectus to which the Market Maker and its
     counsel shall reasonably object unless the Company is advised by counsel
     that such Market Making Registration Statement, amendment or supplement is
     required to be filed under applicable securities laws and the Company will
     provide the Market Maker and its counsel with copies of such Market Making
     Registration Statement and each amendment and supplement filed.

          (ii)   The Company shall notify the Market Maker and, if requested by
     the Market Maker, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Market
     Making Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment to the Market
     Making Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the related
     Prospectus has been filed, and, with respect to the Market Making
     Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
     become effective; (B) of any request by the Commission for any
     post-effective amendment to the Market Making Registration Statement, any
     supplement or amendment to the related Prospectus or for additional
     information; (C) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
     suspending the effectiveness of the Market Making Registration Statement or
     the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (D) of the receipt by
     the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
     qualification of the Securities or the New Securities for sale in any
     jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that
     purpose; and (E) of the happening of any event that makes any statement
     made in the Market Making Registration Statement, the related Prospectus or
     any amendment or supplement thereto untrue or that requires that making of
     any changes in the Market Making Registration Statement, such Prospectus or
     any amendment or supplement thereto, in order to make the statements
     therein not misleading.

          (iii)  If any event contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii)(B) through (E)
     occurs during the period for which the Company is required to maintain an
     effective Market Making Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly
     prepare and file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to such
     Market Making Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the
     related Prospectus or file any other required document so that the
     Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
     to state a material fact

                                       17
<Page>

     necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
     circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          (iv)   In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the
     effectiveness of the Market Making Registration Statement or of any order
     suspending the qualification of the Securities or the New Securities for
     sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall promptly use its reasonable
     best efforts to obtain its withdrawal.

          (v)    The Company shall furnish to the Market Maker, without charge,
     (A) at least one conformed copy of the Market Making Registration Statement
     and any post-effective amendment thereto; and (B) as many copies of the
     related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto as the Market
     Maker may reasonably request.

          (vi)   The Company shall consent to the use of any Prospectus
     contained in the Market Making Registration Statement or any amendment or
     supplement thereto by the Market Maker in connection with its market-making
     activities.

          (vii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6,
     the Company may for valid business reasons, including without limitation, a
     potential material acquisition, divestiture of assets or other material
     corporate transaction, notify the Market Maker in writing that the Market
     Making Registration Statement is no longer effective or the Prospectus
     included therein is no longer usable for offers and sales of Securities or
     the New Securities; PROVIDED that the use of the Market Making Registration
     Statement or the Prospectus contained therein shall not be suspended for
     more than 75 days (whether or not consecutive) in the aggregate in any
     12-month period. The Market Maker agrees that upon receipt of any notice
     from the Company pursuant to this Section 6(a)(vii), it will discontinue
     use of the Prospectus contained in the Market Making Registration Statement
     until receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus relating
     thereto or until advised in writing by the Company that the use of the
     Prospectus contained in such Market Making Registration Statement may be
     resumed.

                 (b)    In connection with the Market Making Registration
Statement, the Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by a
representative of, and counsel acting for, the Market Maker all relevant
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to have
its officers, directors, employees, accountants and counsel supply all relevant
information reasonably requested by such representative or counsel or the Market
Maker; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any information that is designated in writing by
the Company, in good faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such
information shall be kept confidential by the Market Maker or any representative
or counsel, unless such disclosure is made in connection with a

                                       18
<Page>

court proceeding or required by law, or such information becomes available to
the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation
of confidentiality;

                 (c)    Prior to the effective date of the Market Making
Registration Statement, the Company shall arrange, if necessary, for the
qualification of the Securities or the New Securities for sale under the laws of
such jurisdictions as the Market Maker reasonably requests in writing and will
maintain such qualification in effect so long as required to enable the offer
and sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities and the New Securities covered
by the Market Making Registration Statement; PROVIDED that in no event shall the
Company be obligated to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or
as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to subject itself to
service of process in any such jurisdictions or (iii) subject itself to taxation
in any such jurisdiction if it not so subject.

                 (d)    The Company represents and agrees that the Market Making
Registration Statement, any post-effective amendments thereto, any amendments or
supplements to the related Prospectus and any documents filed by it under the
Exchange Act will, when they become effective or are filed with the Commission,
as the case may be, conform in all respects to the requirements of the Act and
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and
will not, as of the effective date of such Market Making Registration Statement
or post-effective amendments and as of the filing date of amendments or
supplements to such Prospectus or filings under the Exchange Act, contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; PROVIDED that no
representation or warranty is made as to information contained in or omitted
from the Market Making Registration Statement or the related Prospectus in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by the Market Maker specifically for inclusion therein, which
information the parties hereto agree will be limited to the statements
concerning the market-making activities of the Market Maker to be set forth on
the cover page and in the "Plan of Distribution" section of the related
Prospectus (the "MARKET MAKER'S INFORMATION").

                 (e)    At the time of effectiveness of the Market Making
Registration Statement and concurrently with each time such Market Making
Registration Statement or the related Prospectus shall be amended or such
Prospectus shall be supplemented, the Company shall (if requested by the Market
Maker) furnish the Market Maker and its counsel with a certificate of its

Financial Officer to the effect that:

     the date and time specified in such certificate, if applicable; and in the
     case of an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, such amendment or
     supplement to the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to the
     subparagraph of Rule 424(b) under the Act specified in such certificate on
     the date specified therein;

                 (iii)  to the knowledge of such officers, no stop order
     suspending the effectiveness of such Market Making Registration Statement
     has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose is pending or threatened
     by the Commission; and

                 (iv)   such officers have carefully examined such Market Making
     Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and, in the case of an amendment
     or supplement, such amendment or supplement) and as of the date of such
     Market Making Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, as
     applicable, the Market Making Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as
     amended or supplemented, if applicable, did not include any untrue
     statement of a material fact and did not omit to state a material fact
     required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
     not misleading.

                 (f)    At the time of effectiveness of the Market Making
Registration Statement and concurrently with each time the Market Making
Registration Statement or the related Prospectus shall be amended or such
Prospectus shall be supplemented, the Company shall (if requested by the Market
Maker) furnish the Market Maker and its counsel with the written opinion of
counsel for the Company satisfactory to the Market Maker to the effect that:

                 (i)    the Market Making Registration Statement has been
     declared effective;

                 (ii)   in the case of an amendment to the Market Making

     as of the date and time specified in such opinion, if applicable; and in
     the case of an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, such amendment or
     supplement to the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to the
     subparagraph of Rule 424(b) under the Act specified in such opinion on the
     date specified therein;

                 (iii)  to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order
     suspending the effectiveness of such Market Making Registration Statement
     has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose is pending or threatened
     by the Commission; and

                 (iv)   such counsel has reviewed such Market Making
     Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and, in the case of an amendment
     or supplement, such amendment or supplement) and participated with officers
     of the Company and independent public accountants for the Company in the
     preparation

                                       20
<Page>

     of such Market Making Registration Statement and Prospectus (and, in the
     case of an amendment or supplement, such amendment or supplement) and has
     no reason to believe that (except for the financial statements and other
     financial and statistical data contained therein as to which such counsel
     need express no belief) as of the date of such Market Making Registration
     Statement, amendment or supplement, as applicable, the Market Making
     Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if
     applicable, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
     state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
     the statements therein not misleading.

                 (g)    At the time of effectiveness of the Market Making
Registration Statement and concurrently with each time such Market Making
Registration Statement or the related Prospectus shall be amended or such
Prospectus shall be supplemented to include audited annual financial

Market Maker and its counsel with a letter of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or
other independent public accountants for the Company of nationally recognized
standing) in form satisfactory to the Market Maker, addressed to the Market
Maker and dated the date of delivery of such letter, (i) confirming that they
are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Act and are in
compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of
accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission and (ii) in all
other respects, substantially in the form of the letter delivered to the Initial
Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, with, in the case of an amendment
or supplement that includes audited financial information, such changes as may
be necessary to reflect the amended or supplemented financial information.

                 (h)    The Company, on the one hand, and the Market Maker, on
the other hand, hereby agree to indemnify each other, and, if applicable,
contribute to the other, in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement.

                 (i)    The Company will comply with the provisions of this
Section 6 at its own expense and will reimburse the Market Maker for its
expenses associated with this Section 6 (including reasonable fees of counsel
for the Market Maker).

                 (j)    The agreements contained in this Section 6 and the
representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement shall
survive all offers and sales of the Securities and New Securities and shall
remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation
of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.

                 (k)    For purposes of this Section 6, (i) any reference to the
terms "amend", "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Market Making
Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein shall be deemed to
refer to and include the filing under the Exchange Act of any document deemed to
be incorporated therein by reference and (ii) any reference to the terms
"Securities" and

                                       21
<Page>

"New Securities" shall be deemed to refer to and include any securities issued
in exchange for or with respect to such Securities or New Securities.

     7.   REGISTRATION EXPENSES. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in
connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 2, 3, 5 and 6
hereof and, in the event of any Shelf Registration Statement, will reimburse the

connection therewith, and, in the case of any Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers for the reasonable fees and

     8.   INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder of Securities or New Securities, as the case may
be, covered by any Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser, the
Market Maker and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in
Section 5(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer), the directors, officers, employees
and agents of each such Holder and each Person who controls any such Holder
within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all
Losses, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under
the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation,
at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any Market Making Registration Statement as originally
filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as
incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in
any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out
of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information or the Market Maker Information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of any such Holder or the Market Maker specifically for
inclusion therein. In addition, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Market Maker from and against any and all Losses that arise out of,
or are based upon, any breach by the Company of its representations, warranties
and agreements contained in Section 6 hereof. This indemnity agreement will be
in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

     The Company also agrees to indemnify or contribute as provided in Section
8(d) to Losses of each underwriter of any Securities or New Securities, as the
case may be, registered under a Shelf Registration Statement, their directors,
officers, employees or agents and each Person who controls such underwriter on
substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Initial
Purchasers and the selling Holders provided in

                                       22
<Page>

this Section 8(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an
underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 5(p)
hereof.

     With respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in
any preliminary Prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
8(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified person from whom the
person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the
securities concerned, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability of such indemnified person occurs under the circumstance where it
shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
non-appealable judgment that (w) the Company had previously furnished copies of
the preliminary Prospectus to such indemnified person, (x) delivery of the Final
Prospectus was required by the Act to be made to such person, (y) the untrue
statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary Prospectus
was corrected in the Final Prospectus and (z) there was not sent or given to
such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
securities to such person, a copy of the Final Prospectus.

                 (b)    Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration
Statement (including each Initial Purchaser and, with respect to any Prospectus
delivery as contemplated in Section 5(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer)
severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
directors, each of its officers who signs such Registration Statement and each
Person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the
Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to
each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to
such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically
for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any such Holder
may otherwise have.

                 (c)    The Market Maker agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Market
Making Registration Statement and each Person who controls the Company within
the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Market Maker, but only with respect
to any Losses which arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with any Market Maker's Information furnished to the Company in
writing by the Market Maker specifically for inclusion in the Market Making
Registration Statement and any Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which any Market Maker may otherwise have.

                 (d)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i)
will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above unless
and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such

                                       23
<Page>

failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial
rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying
party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the
indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above. The
indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying
party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified
party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses
of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as
set forth below); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's
election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including
local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs
and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the
indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel
with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or
targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action;
or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. Any such separate
counsel (x) for any Initial Purchaser or the Market Maker, its affiliates,
directors and officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser or the
Market Maker shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., (y)
for any Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such
Holder shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders and (z) in all
other cases shall be designated in writing by the Company. An indemnifying party
will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle
or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release
of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding.

                 (e)    In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph
(a), (b) or (c) of this Section is unavailable to or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying
party shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same)
(collectively "LOSSES") to which such indemnified party may be subject in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such
indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other
hand, from the Initial Placement and the Registration Statement which resulted
in such Losses; PROVIDED,

                                       24
<Page>

HOWEVER, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser or any subsequent Holder of
any Security or New Security be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in
excess of the total fees received by such Initial Purchaser or subsequent Holder
in connection with the purchase of such Security, or in the case of a New
Security, applicable to the Security that was exchangeable into such New
Security, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of
the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the securities purchased
by such underwriter under the Registration Statement which resulted in such
Losses; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that in no case shall the Market Maker be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Securities sold by the Market Maker exceeds the amount of any damages that
the Market Maker has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. If the allocation
provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason,
the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also
the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such
indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to
the sum of (x) the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before
deducting expenses) and (y) the total amount of additional interest which the
Company was not required to pay as a result of registering the securities
covered by the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Benefits
received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total fees
received by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 2 of the Purchase
Agreement, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be
equal to the value of receiving Securities or New Securities, as applicable,
registered under the Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed
to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on
the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement
which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates
to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the
indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their
relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if
the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), no Person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each Person who
controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and
each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same
rights to contribution as such Holder, and each Person who controls the Company
within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the
Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of
the Company shall have

                                       25
<Page>

the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the
applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (e).

                 (f)    The provisions of this Section will remain in full force
and effect, regardless of (i) the termination of this Agreement, (ii) any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Market Maker, any Holder, the Company
or any of the officers, directors or controlling Persons referred to in this
Section hereof, (iii) acceptance of any of the New Securities; (iv) any sale by
a Holder or the Market Maker of securities covered by a Registration Statement
(including a Market Making Registration Statement).

     9.   UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. (a) If any of the Securities or New
Securities, as the case may be, covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are
to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be
selected by the Majority Holders.

                 (b)    No Person may participate in any underwritten offering
pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, unless such Person (i) agrees to
sell such Person's Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, on the
basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

     10.  NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company has not, as of the date
hereof, entered into, nor shall it, on or after the date hereof, enter into, any
agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Market Maker or the Holders herein or otherwise conflicts with
the provisions hereof.

     11.  AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement, including
the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, qualified, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the
Majority Holders and, with respect to the provisions of Section 6 and 7, the
Market Maker; PROVIDED that with respect to any matter that directly or
indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company
shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser against which
such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the
provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders whose Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, are
being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or
indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders
representing a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Securities or New
Securities, as the case may be, being sold rather than registered under such
Registration Statement, voting together as a single class.

     All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given
when received.

     The Initial Purchasers or the Company by notice to the other parties may

communications.

     13.  SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including,
without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company
thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities and the New Securities. The Company
hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of
Securities and the New Securities, and any such Holder may specifically enforce
the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.

     14.  COUNTERPARTS. This agreement may be in signed counterparts, each of

accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made
and to be performed in the State of New York.

     17.  SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one of more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity,
legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of
the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected
thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties
shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     18.  SECURITIES HELD BY THE COMPANY, ETC. Whenever the consent or approval
of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities or New
Securities is required hereunder, Securities or New Securities, as applicable,
held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of
Securities or New Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be
Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities or New
Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval
was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

                                     ANNEX A

     Each Broker-Dealer that receives New Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Securities. The Letter of
Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a
Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter: within the
meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Broker-Dealer in connection
with resales of New Securities received in exchange for Securities where such
Securities were acquired by such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, starting on
the Expiration Date (as defined herein) and ending on the close of business one
year after the Expiration Date, it will make this Prospectus available to any
Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of
Distribution."

<Page>

                                     ANNEX B

Each Broker-Dealer that receives New Securities for its own account in exchange
for Securities, where such Securities were acquired by such Broker-Dealer as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge
that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New
Securities. See "Plan of Distribution."

<Page>

                                     ANNEX C

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Each Broker-Dealer that receives New Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Securities. This
Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of New Securities received in
exchange for Securities where such Securities were acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed
that, starting on the Expiration Date and ending on the close of business one
year after the Expiration Date, it will make this Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, available to any Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any such
resale. In addition, until __________, 2004, all dealers effecting transactions
in the New Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus.

     The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New Securities
by brokers-dealers. New Securities received by Broker-Dealers for their own
account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or
more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions,
through the writing of options on the New Securities or a combination of such
methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices
related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale
may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may
receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such
Broker-Dealer and/or the purchasers of any such New Securities. Any
Broker-Dealer that resells New Securities that were received by it for its own
account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that
participates in a distribution of such New Securities may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any
such resale of New Securities and any commissions or concessions received by any
such Persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities
Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver
and by delivering a prospectus, a Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that
it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

     For a period of one year after the Expiration Date, the Company will
promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement to this Prospectus to any Broker-Dealer that requests such documents
in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses
incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the
holder of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers
or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the Securities (including any
Broker-Dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
