standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or use of the properties owned by it, or the

Company has made available to Purchaser complete and correct copies of the Governing Documents of
the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (as amended to date). The minute books (containing the

affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) as limited by laws relating to the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

Transactions will not: (a) violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any provision of the
Governing Documents of the Company or any Subsidiary; (b) assuming all Governmental Authorizations

Transactions, except (a) those required under the HSR Act, (b) those that may be required solely as
a result of the nature of the business or ownership of Purchaser, and (c) those the failure of
which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole or materially affect the ability of the Company or any Subsidiary to
consummate the Contemplated Transactions.

thereunder with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of
Justice as soon as practicable following the date hereof, but in any event within five Business
Days following the date hereof (the date on which such filing is made, the “Original Filing
Date”). Purchaser shall pay directly to the applicable Government Antitrust Entity the
applicable HSR Act filing fee required in connection with any HSR notification required in
connection with the Contemplated Transactions, including the Rollover. The Company and Purchaser
shall respond promptly to any request for additional information that may be issued by either the
Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice. Subject to the terms and conditions herein,
Purchaser and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the waiting periods
under the HSR Act to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date after the Original Filing
Date (it being understood that this provision is not intended to require any Party to seek early
termination). Without limiting the generality of the Company’s undertakings pursuant to this
Section 6.3(b), the Company shall, in each case with the consent of Purchaser:

42

 

          (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry in a judicial or
administrative proceeding brought under any antitrust law by a Government Authority with
jurisdiction over the enforcement of any applicable antitrust laws (“Government
Antitrust Entity”) or any other party of any permanent or preliminary injunction or
other order that would make consummation of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Company and the
Company’s Business in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would
prevent or delay such consummation; provided that, Purchaser and its counsel shall
be responsible for all discussions with any Government Antitrust Entity (after consultation
with the Company and its counsel) to the maximum extent permitted by Law and except as
required by any Government Antitrust Entity; and

          (ii) take promptly, in the event that such an injunction or order has been issued in
such a proceeding, any and all steps, including the appeal thereof or the posting of a bond,
necessary to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order so as to permit such

          (c) Subject to applicable Law and subject to all applicable privileges, including the
attorney-client privilege, Purchaser and the Company will consult and cooperate with one another in
connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions
and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party hereto relating to proceedings under
the HSR Act or any other applicable merger control or similar Law, and shall promptly inform the
other of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with, any
Governmental Antitrust Entity regarding any such filings or this transaction.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this
Agreement, Purchaser shall not be required to agree to (i) material concessions in connection with
any third party consents, (ii) incur any material liability or obligation of any kind, (iii) except
as contemplated in clause (iv) below, enter into a consent decree (or other similar agreement) with

(iv) except for the divestiture of no more than 75 screens in the aggregate, agree to any sale,
transfer, license, separate holding, divestiture or other disposition of, or to any prohibition of,
or to any limitation on, the acquisition, ownership, operation, effective control or exercise of
full right of ownership of any asset of the Company’s Business or the business of the Purchaser and
its Affiliates. Purchaser shall not be required to pursue antitrust approval under the HSR Act for
a period of more than 150 days following the Original Filing Date, and Purchaser shall thereafter,
in its sole discretion, be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.1(a)(vi).

     Section 6.4 Notification. Upon obtaining knowledge thereof, the Company shall give
prompt notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) the
occurrence or non-occurrence of any event after the date hereof, the occurrence or non-occurrence
of which has caused or would be likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate such that the conditions to closing set forth in Section
7.2(a) and Section 7.3(a), as the case may be, shall not be met, and (b) any failure of
the Company, CTH LLC, Shareholders, Purchaser or Holdings, as the case may be, to

43

 

comply with or
satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it after the date
hereof such that the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.2(a) and Section
7.3(a), as the case may be, shall not be met. Should any such occurrence or non-occurrence
referenced herein require any change in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Shareholder
Disclosure Schedule, the Company or Shareholder, as the case may be, shall deliver to Purchaser a
supplement to the Company Disclosure Schedule or Shareholder Disclosure Schedule, as applicable,
specifying such change; provided that the Company and Shareholder shall only be entitled to
update, amend or modify the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule, as
the case may be, after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date (the “Update
Period”) to reflect factors,
circumstances or events first arising or, in the case of representations given to the
Company’s Knowledge, becoming known to the Company, during the Update Period or to reflect factors,
circumstances or events arising or resulting from any action taken or not taken by the Company, CTH
LLC or Shareholder as a result of Purchaser’s consent pursuant to Section 6.2. Purchaser
will be deemed to have accepted such supplement to the Company Disclosure Schedule or the
Shareholder Disclosure Schedule (i) where the update is made to reflect any action taken or not
taken by the Company, CTH LLC or Shareholder as a result of Purchaser’s consent pursuant to
Section 6.2 and (ii) in all other cases, unless Purchaser delivers written notice of its
objection to Shareholder and the Company within ten (10) Business Days after the date the
supplement is delivered. If Purchaser delivers a written notice of its objection to such
supplement to the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule, as
applicable, Purchaser shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies at law or equity,
the right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1(a)(iv). Upon the
acceptance or deemed acceptance of any such supplement by Purchaser, the information contained in
such supplement will be deemed to become part of the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Shareholder
Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, and will be deemed to qualify and constitute an exception to
the applicable representations and warranties of the Company, CTH LLC or Shareholder, as
applicable. The delivery of any such notice pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall not be
deemed an admission or an acknowledgement (i) that the subject matter of such notice is material or
would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or is outside of the
ordinary course of business or inconsistent with past practice, or (ii) that there has occurred an
actual or anticipatory breach of, or failure to comply with or satisfy, any representation,
warranty, covenant, condition or agreement.

     Section 6.5 No Negotiation. Up until the Closing, Shareholder, CTH LLC and the
Company will, and will cause each of their respective Affiliates and Representatives to,
discontinue (i) any discussions, negotiations or other interactions with any Person (other than
Purchaser and Holdings) relating to any Alternative Transaction and (ii) providing any confidential
information or data with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries to any Person other than to
Purchaser, Holdings and their respective Representatives for the purpose of or otherwise related to
proposing, evaluating or effecting an Alternative Transaction. Until such time, if any, as this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII or the Closing occurs, Shareholder, CTH
LLC and the Company will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to
not, entertain, solicit, initiate, encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals from, or
negotiate with, any Person (other than Purchaser or Holdings) relating to any such Alternative
Transaction involving any of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company shall promptly, but in
no event later than two days after its occurrence, notify Purchaser if any Person makes any
proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to an Alternative Transaction

44

 

and will provide to
Purchaser the identity of such Person, the nature of the offer, inquiry or proposal, the terms of
any proposal and, in each case, the Company’s, CTH LLC’s or Shareholder’s response thereto, as
applicable.

     Section 6.6 Trademarks, Brand Names, Etc. As promptly as practicable after the
Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to remove the name “Syufy” and
any trademarks, trade names, brand names,
trade dress or logos containing such names which are listed and specifically identified on
Section 6.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule from all Internet sites, labels, stationery
or office forms of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Thereafter, other than pursuant to any
agreement between Shareholder or its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) and
the Company or its Subsidiaries, Purchaser shall neither use nor permit any of its Affiliates to
use such name as a trademark or service mark or any trademark, trade name, brandmark, brand name,
trade dress or logo containing such name in connection with the Company, its Subsidiaries or
otherwise.

     Section 6.7 Further Action. Except as otherwise provided herein, each of the Parties
shall use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be
done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and execute and deliver such
documents and other papers, as may be required to transfer, convey, grant and confirm to and vest
in Purchaser and Holdings good and marketable title to all of the Shares free and clear of all
Liens, purchase options, calls or similar third party rights.

     Section 6.8 Tax Matters.

          (a) Whenever it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the liability for
Non-Income Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a taxable year or period that begins
before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the determination shall be
made by assuming that such entity had a taxable year which ended at the close of business on the
Closing Date.

          (b) Purchaser shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed when due
(including extensions), any Tax Return that is required to be filed after the Closing Date to the

any of its Subsidiaries. To the extent an Income Tax Return is required to be filed after the date
hereof and on or before the Closing Date with respect to the operations, assets or activities of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be
prepared and timely filed, such return; provided, however, that the Company shall provide any such
Income Tax Return to Purchaser for its review and comment at least 60 days prior to the due date of
such return and the Company shall file or cause to be filed such return only after obtaining
Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

          (c) Shareholder, at its own expense, shall provide to Purchaser all information necessary in
Purchaser’s reasonable discretion to completely and accurately report any transactions that (i)
occurred out of the ordinary course of business, including the Special Dividend and the 2006
Restructuring, (ii) occurred on or before the Closing, and (iii) will be reported on a Tax Return
(including any Form 1099) or that will affect a Tax Return that is required to be filed by
Purchaser or the Company after the Closing Date. This information

45

 

includes the information required to report on Form 1099 (and any similar form filed with
state, local or foreign Tax authorities) the portion of the Special Dividend that is properly
treated as a dividend for Tax purposes.

          (d) Each of Purchaser and Shareholder shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries and
Affiliates to (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until
the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, and abide by all record retention agreements entered
into with any Governmental Authority, and (ii) give the other Party reasonable written notice prior
to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so
requests, the notifying Party shall, and shall cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to,
allow each Party to take possession of such books and records at such other Party’s expense.
During the period such books and records with respect to Tax matters are retained each Party shall
provide, or shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to provide, as applicable, reasonable
access to the other Party during normal working hours, including the right to make copies, at such
other Party’s expense, in connection with any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or
any claim for indemnification with respect to Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, Shareholder shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, at
Shareholder’s expense, transfer to Company, such that Company has in its possession as of and after
the Closing Date, all books and records (including Tax work papers and Tax Returns) for periods
through the Closing Date that may be required for the Company to conduct an earnings and profits
study with respect to all periods up to and including the Closing Date.

          (e) Purchaser, the Company and the Shareholder further agree, upon request, to use reasonable
efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other
Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed,
provided that obtaining such certificate or other document may not reasonably be expected
to adversely affect Purchaser, the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or the Shareholder.

          (f) Within ninety (90) days of Purchaser’s request, Shareholder shall prepare and provide to
Purchaser such Tax information as is reasonably requested by Purchaser with respect to any
operations, ownership, assets or activities of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries for periods
prior to the Closing Date, including pro forma Tax Returns, to the extent such information is
relevant to the preparation of any Tax Return that Purchaser is required to prepare and file under
this Section 6.8 or under applicable Law. Purchaser shall reimburse Shareholder for any
reasonable out-of-pocket costs in preparing any such Tax information.

          (g) Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Shareholder shall cooperate fully, as and
to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns
pursuant to this Article VI and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to
Taxes.

     Section 6.9 Tax Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary,
Shareholder shall indemnify Purchaser, its Affiliates, the Company and its Subsidiaries

46

 

and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives,

          (a) any and all Taxes, liabilities, losses, damages, debts, obligations, claims, costs or
expenses, interest, awards, judgments, orders, fines and penalties (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) suffered or incurred by them as a result of the Shareholder’s failure to fully
comply with its obligations to provide information under Section 6.8(c);

          (b) any Taxes imposed as a result of or penalties attributable to the Special Dividend or the
2006 Restructuring; and

          (c) any and all losses solely attributable to interest and penalties incurred as a result of
the Company’s preparation of Income Tax Returns for periods after September 30, 2005, through and
including the Closing Date (the “Applicable Tax Return Periods”) in accordance with the
customs and practices employed by the Company in filing Income Tax Returns for periods ending
September 30, 2005; provided, however, that Shareholder shall not be required to indemnify the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 6.9(c) if the relevant custom or
practice is no longer employable due to a change in statute or regulation in effect for the
Applicable Tax Return Periods (as compared to that in effect for the period ending September 30,
2005) or to the extent that the facts in such Applicable Tax Return Periods are different from the
facts with respect to the period ending September 30, 2005, and such difference causes the relevant
custom or practice to no longer apply.

     Section 6.10 Refunds and Credits. Except to the extent such item results from the
carryback of a post-September 29, 2005 Tax attribute, any refunds, rebates, credits or overpayments

before September 29, 2005 (“Seller Income Tax Refunds”) shall be for the account of
Shareholder, and Purchaser shall promptly pay to Shareholder any Seller Income Tax Refunds received
by Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing. Any refunds, rebates, credits or overpayments of
the Company and each of the Subsidiaries of Income Taxes for any taxable period beginning after the
Closing Date or attributable to the carryback of a post-September 30, 2005 Tax attribute
(“Purchaser Income Tax Refunds”) shall be for the account of Purchaser, and Shareholder
shall promptly pay to Purchaser any Purchaser Income Tax Refunds received by Shareholder after the

other refunds, rebates, credits or overpayments of Non-income Taxes of the Company and each of the
Subsidiaries shall be for the account of Purchaser (“Purchaser Non-Income Tax Refunds”).

or its Affiliates after the Closing and Shareholder shall promptly pay to Purchaser any Purchaser

any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the

47

 

consummation of the purchase of the

time of the release of any such statement have been approved by the other Parties, except where (i)
such disclosure is required pursuant to applicable Law, including disclosures to the Securities and
Exchange Commission regarding this Agreement (in which case such Party will provide reasonable

except that Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose the existence and contents of this Agreement
and such other information related to the Contemplated Transactions and the Company and its
Subsidiaries as Purchaser reasonably deems necessary to National CineMedia, LLC, a Delaware limited

Party to this Agreement will issue any press release or make any other public disclosures
concerning the Contemplated Transactions or the contents of this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other Parties. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section
6.14 will preclude any Party from making any disclosures required by Law or necessary and
proper in conjunction with the filing of any Tax Return or other document required to be filed in
connection with making or obtaining (as the case may) any Governmental Authorizations required
hereunder; provided that the Party required to make the release or statement shall allow
the other Parties reasonable time to review and comment on such release or statement in advance of
such issuance.

     Section 6.15 Section 280G.

          (a) The Company shall submit for approval by Shareholder so as to render the parachute payment

Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

50

period then ended, all prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in the same matter as in the

accordance with the terms of the Aurora Lease and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser
and shall deliver such request for consent within seven (7) Business Days following the date of
this Agreement; provided that, if consent is not received prior to Closing and the Aurora

53

 

Landlord
has exercised its recapture right (or the time period for the Aurora Landlord to exercise the
recapture right under the Aurora Lease has not expired as of the Closing), then the Purchase Price
shall be reduced by $17.5 million. In the event the Purchase Price is reduced pursuant to this
Section 6.22 and following the Closing the Company receives the Recapture Price (as defined

pursuant to the terms of the Aurora Lease, Purchaser shall cause the Company to pay the Recapture
Price to Shareholder. Purchaser further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, at
Shareholder’s expense, to collect the Recapture Price from the Aurora Landlord for a period of 30
days following the Closing, and to the extent that Purchaser is unable to collect the Recapture
Price during such 30-day period, Purchaser agrees to assign its rights to collect the Recapture
Price to Shareholder. In the event the Purchase Price is reduced pursuant to this Section
6.22 but the time period for the Aurora Landlord to exercise the recapture right had not
expired as of the Closing, and following the Closing the Aurora Landlord either consents to the
Contemplated Transactions or the time period for exercising the recapture right expires, Purchaser
shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Shareholder the amount by which the Purchase Price was
reduced pursuant to this Section 6.22. Upon a recapture of the Aurora Property by the
Aurora Landlord, Shareholder shall have the right to exercise the Company’s right to remove

removed equipment by sale or otherwise, at the sole cost and expense of Shareholder. Shareholder
shall retain all proceeds received from the disposal of any removed equipment.

terminate the Northglenn Lease or (b) distribute 100% of the limited liability company interests of

Northglenn Distribution, Shareholder and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 90
days to enter into a management agreement whereby Purchaser or one of its Affiliates will manage
the Northglenn theater on behalf of Shareholder. Following the conclusion of the 90-day period
Shareholder may negotiate and enter into a management agreement with any third party without any
further obligation to Purchaser with respect to such agreement. Nothing in this Section
6.23 shall in any way limit or modify the restrictions set forth in the Noncompetition and
Nondisclosure Agreement.

     Section 6.24 Credit Agreement Consent. The Company shall use its best efforts to
promptly obtain the consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with
respect to the execution and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
In the event the Company is unable to secure the consent of the Required Lenders, the Company shall
obtain the proceeds of the financing contemplated by the Company Debt Financing Commitment Letter
and refinance the Credit Agreement. Neither the Shareholder nor the Company shall consent to any
amendment or modification to the conditions to funding set forth in the Company Debt Financing
Commitment Letter in a manner that would materially increase the likelihood that the conditions to

               (iv) Upon five (5) days’ prior written notice, by Purchaser or Holdings, if Purchaser
delivers to the Company a written notice of objection to a supplement to the Company
Disclosure Schedule or Shareholder Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 6.4;

               (v) by the Company or Shareholder if there has been a material breach by Holdings or
Purchaser of the representations, warranties or covenants of Purchaser or Holdings set forth
in this Agreement, or by Purchaser or Holdings if there has been a material breach by the
Company, CTH LLC or Shareholder, as applicable, of the representations, warranties or
covenants of the Company, CTH LLC or Shareholder set forth in this Agreement, and in the
case of a breach of covenant if such breach shall not have been cured within 10 days after
notice thereof has been delivered to the breaching Party (or in any event prior to the date
of Closing);

               (vi) by Purchaser, if Purchaser shall have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to the last sentence of Section 6.3(d); and

               (vii) by Purchaser, at any time, if (A) on or before the 45th day following
the date hereof, (1) the Existing Administrative Agent has not obtained written consent of
the Required Lenders to the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and waiving any Default or Event of Default arising
therefrom under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (2) the Backstop
Senior Credit Facilities have not been fully funded, or (B) the

59

 

Required Lenders or the
Existing Administrative Agent shall have taken any action to accelerate the maturity of the
advances or terminate or reduce the commitments under the Credit Facility, impose Default
Interest under the Credit Facility or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies under the
Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any such event shall have occurred
automatically under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Backstop Senior
Credit Facilities have not been fully funded within one (1) Business Day thereafter.

          (b) In the event of any termination pursuant to this Section 8.1:

               (i) Purchaser, on the one hand, and Shareholder, on the other hand, shall return, and
each shall cause its respective Affiliates and Representatives to return, to the Company or
Purchaser, as applicable, or destroy all documents and other material received from the
Company, its Subsidiaries, CTH LLC, Shareholder, Purchaser or Holdings, as applicable, or
any of their respective Representatives, relating to the Contemplated Transactions, whether
so obtained before or after the execution hereof; and

               (ii) All confidential information received by the Company, CTH LLC, Shareholder and
their respective Affiliates and Representatives or by Purchaser or Holdings, and their
respective Affiliates and Representatives, as applicable, shall be
treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. Each Party’s right of termination under
Section 8.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or
otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. In the
event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall
forthwith become void and have no effect and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party
except that (a) Section 8.1, this Section 8.2, and Article X shall survive
any such termination and (b) if this Agreement is terminated by a Party because of the breach of
this Agreement by the other Party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating
Party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other Party’s failure
to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating Party’s right to pursue all
legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties contained in the Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing as follows:

          (a) the representations and warranties in the first sentence of Section 3.1
(Organization), and in Section 3.2 (Authorization), Section 3.5
(Capitalization), Section 3.6 (Subsidiaries), Section 3.17(f) (Change of Control
Payments), Section 3.21 (Affiliate Transactions), Section 3.23 (Brokers),
Section 3.24 (Indebtedness), Section 4.1 (Title), Section 4.2
(Organization), Section 4.3 (Authorization), Section 4.5 (Brokers), Section
5.1 (Organization), and Section 5.2 (Authorization), and in the certificate required to
be delivered by

60

 

the Company and Shareholder pursuant to Section 7.2(a) with respect to the
first sentence in Section 3.1, and Section 3.2, Section 3.5, Section
3.6, Section 3.17(f), Section 3.21, Section 3.23, Section 3.24,
Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, and Section 4.5 and in the
certificates required to be delivered by
Purchaser and Holdings pursuant to Section 7.3(a)
with respect to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, shall survive indefinitely;

          (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.19 (Taxes), and in the
certificate required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 7.2(a) with respect
to Section 3.19, shall not terminate until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable
statute of limitations with respect to the liabilities in question (after giving effect to any
extensions or waivers thereof); and

          (c) all other representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents, any
Schedules or Exhibits thereto or in any certificate delivered by Purchaser or Holdings to the
Company, on the one hand, or by the Company, CTH LLC or Shareholder to Purchaser, on the other
hand, in connection with the Transaction Documents (including the certificate required to be
delivered by the Company and Shareholder pursuant to Section 7.2(a)
and the certificates required to be delivered by Purchaser and Holdings pursuant to
Section 7.3(a)), shall terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

Except as provided in the following sentence, none of Purchaser, Holdings or Shareholder shall have
any liability whatsoever with respect to any such representations and warranties after their
respective termination date as set forth in this Section 9.1. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under
Section 9.2 below, and the indemnity with respect thereto, shall survive the time at which
it would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Section 9.1 if written notice of the
inaccuracy or breach or potential inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right or
potential right of indemnity shall have been given to the Party against whom such indemnity may be
sought prior to such time (regardless of when the Losses in respect thereof may actually be
incurred or finally determined) and shall in no event be affected by any investigation, inquiry or
examination made for or on behalf of Purchaser or Holdings or the knowledge of any of Purchaser’s
or Holdings’ respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees or agents or the acceptance by
Purchaser or Holdings of any certificate or opinion hereunder.

     Section 9.2 Indemnification.

          (a) Subject to Section 9.5, after the Closing, Purchaser, Holdings, their respective
Affiliates, the Company and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns shall be
indemnified and held harmless by Shareholder for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, debts,
obligations, claims, costs or expenses, interest, awards, judgments, orders, fines and penalties
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them
(hereinafter a “Loss”), to the extent such Losses arise out of or result from:

               (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company, CTH LLC or
Shareholder contained in this Agreement, any Schedules or

61

 

Exhibits hereto or in any
certificate delivered by the Company, CTH LLC or Shareholder to Purchaser or Holdings
hereunder;

               (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company, CTH LLC or Shareholder
contained in this Agreement;

               (iii) any 401(k) plan maintained or contributed to by Shareholder, CTH LLC, the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates prior to the Closing Date
or with respect to which Shareholder, CTH LLC, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any
of their ERISA Affiliates have any liability;

               (iv) any U.S. Benefit Plans and any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3)
of ERISA) and any other benefit plan, program or arrangement of any kind maintained,
sponsored or contributed to by the Company, its Subsidiaries and any of their ERISA
Affiliates prior to the Closing Date or with respect to which the Company, its Subsidiaries
or any of their ERISA Affiliates have any actual or potential liability;

               (v) the CTH LLC Transactions;

               (vi) the Northglenn Distribution; and

               (vii) any event of default under the Credit Agreement, the solicitation of any consent
under the Credit Agreement and/or the refinancing of the Credit Agreement, in each case on
or prior to the Closing, and any Seller Financing Expense not paid prior to Closing.

          (b) Subject to Section 9.5, after the Closing, Shareholder and each of its respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors and permitted
assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless by Purchaser and Holdings for any and all Losses
arising out of or resulting from:

               (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser or Holdings
contained in this Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits thereto and any
certificates required to be delivered hereunder); or

               (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Purchaser or Holdings contained in this
Agreement.

          (c) Any Party seeking indemnification under this Section 9.2 (an “Indemnified
Party”) shall promptly give the Party from whom indemnification is being sought (an
“Indemnifying Party”) notice of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has
given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating the amount of
the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions
of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.

          (d) The obligations and liabilities of an Indemnifying Party under this Section 9.2
with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the

62

 

indemnification provided for in this Section 9.2 (“Third Party Claims”) shall be
governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified
Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the
Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim within 10 calendar days of the receipt by the
Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide
such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this
Section 9.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such
failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, but not obligated, to assume and control the
defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense if it gives notice of its intention to do so to
the Indemnified Party within 20 calendar days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified
Party (it being understood that the fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party during such
20-day period shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party); provided, however, that if
(i) there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it
inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent
both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Third Party Claim relates to or
arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation,
(iii) the Third Party Claim seeks an
injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party as its principal remedy; or (iv)
upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party
failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim, then the
Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such claim and the Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, reasonably acceptable to Indemnifying Party, at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided further that, prior to the Indemnifying
Party having the right to assume control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall first verify
to the Indemnified Party in writing that such Indemnifying Party shall be fully responsible (with
no reservation of any rights) for all liabilities and obligations relating to such claim for
indemnification and that it shall provide full indemnification (without regard to any limitations
on indemnification set forth herein) to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party
Claim. In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense
against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with
the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses,
pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the
Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party.
Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense
against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified
Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all such witnesses, pertinent
records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying
Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. If the
Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party
shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) before entering into any settlement of or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or
as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief
 shall be imposed
against the Indemnified Party or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release
the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without
prejudice. No Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled by the

63

 

Indemnified Party without the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned.

     Section 9.3 Defense of Tax Claims.

          (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 9.2 to the contrary, in the event
that any Governmental Authority informs Shareholder, on the one hand, or Purchaser, Holdings, the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries, on the other hand, of any notice of a proposed audit or other
dispute concerning an amount of Taxes with respect to which the other Party may incur liability
hereunder, the Party so informed shall promptly notify the other Party of such matter. Such notice
shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in
reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice or other documents received from
any Governmental Authority with respect to such matter. If an Indemnified Party has actual
knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it may be indemnified
hereunder and such Party fails to provide the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of such asserted Tax
liability, then (i) if the Indemnifying Party is entirely
foreclosed from contesting the asserted Tax liability solely as a result of the failure to
give prompt notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified
Party for Taxes or Losses arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if the Indemnifying
Party is not entirely foreclosed from contesting the asserted Tax liability, but such failure to
provide prompt notice results in any incremental Losses or any incremental monetary detriment to
the Indemnifying Party, then any amount which the Indemnifying Party is otherwise obligated to pay
the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such incremental
detriment.

          (b) Shareholder shall control any audits, disputes, administrative, judicial or other
proceedings related to Taxes (“Tax Claims”) (i) which relate to Income Taxes for periods
ending on or prior to September 30, 2005, (ii) which relate to Non-Income Taxes for periods ending
on or prior to May 25, 2006 or (iii) with respect to which Shareholder is required to indemnify
Purchaser hereunder, and provided that, prior to accepting control of such Tax Claim, the
Shareholder agrees in writing that they are required to indemnify Purchaser with respect to such
Tax Claims. Purchaser or Holdings shall control any other Tax Claims. Subject to the preceding
sentence, in the event that an adverse determination may result in each Party having a
responsibility for any amount of Tax under this Article IX, each Party shall be entitled to
fully participate in that portion of the proceeding relating to the Taxes for which it may incur
liability hereunder. Purchaser or Holdings shall be entitled to participate in all Tax Claims at
its expense and bear any incremental costs incurred as a result of its participation. For purposes
of this Section 9.3(b), the term “participate” shall include (i) participation in
conferences, meetings or Proceedings with any Governmental Authority, the subject matter of which
includes an item for which such Party may have liability hereunder, (ii) participation in
appearances before any court or tribunal, the subject matter of which includes an item for which a
Party may have liability hereunder, and (iii) with respect to matters described in the preceding
clauses (i) and (ii), participation in the submission and determination of the content of the
documentation, protests, memoranda of fact and law, and briefs, and the conduct of oral arguments
and presentations.

          (c) Shareholder and Purchaser or Holdings shall not agree to settle any Tax liability or
compromise any claim with respect to Taxes which settlement or compromise would

64

 

reasonably be
expected to materially adversely affect the liability for Taxes hereunder (or right to Tax benefit)
of the other Party, without such other Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

     Section 9.4 Tax Treatment. Any payments under this Article IX shall be
treated by the Parties hereto for federal, state and local income Tax purposes (whether foreign or
domestic) as a non-taxable reimbursement or purchase price adjustment, except to the extent that a
contrary treatment is required by applicable Law.

     Section 9.5 Limits on Indemnification. (a) No amount shall be payable by Shareholder
pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to the representations and
warranties contained in the first sentence of Section 3.1 (Organization), Section
3.2 (Authorization), Section 3.5 (Capitalization), Section 3.6
(Subsidiaries), Section 3.13(c) (Real Property), Section 3.17(f) (Change of
Control Payments), Section 3.19 (Taxes), Section 3.21 (Affiliate Transactions),
Section 3.23 (Brokers), Section 3.24 (Indebtedness), Section 4.1 (Title),
Section 4.2 (Organization), Section 4.3 (Authorization), and Section 4.5
(Brokers), and in the certificate required to be delivered by the Company and Shareholder pursuant
to Section 7.2(a) with respect to the first sentence in Section 3.1, and
Section 3.2, Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 3.13(c), Section
3.17(f), Section 3.19, Section 3.21, Section 3.23 (Brokers),
Section 3.24, Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, and
Section 4.5 (collectively, the “Shareholder Fully Indemnified Representations”))
unless (i) the amount of Loss related to any individual item exceeds $50,000 (provided that
such items shall be aggregated for the purposes of determining whether the Shareholder Deductible
has been reached); and (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses indemnifiable by Shareholder under
Section 9.2(a)(i) exceeds an amount (the “Shareholder Deductible”) equal to $5.25
million (and then only to the extent of such excess).

          (b) No amount shall be payable by Purchaser or Holdings pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i)
(other than with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1
(Organization), Section 3.2 (Authorization) and Section 5.12 (Brokers), and in the
certificate required to be delivered by Purchaser and Holdings pursuant to Section 7.2(a)
with respect to Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.12 (collectively,
the “Purchaser Fully Indemnified Representations”)) unless (i) the amount of Loss related
to any individual item exceeds $50,000 (provided that such items shall be aggregated for
the purposes of determining whether the Purchaser Deductible has been reached); and (ii) the
aggregate amount of Losses indemnifiable by Purchaser and Holdings under Section 9.2(a)(i)
exceeds an amount (the “Purchaser Deductible”) equal to $750,000 (and then only to the
extent of such excess).

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum amount
of aggregate indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered (i) from Shareholder under Section
9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to the Shareholder Fully Indemnified Representations) shall
be an amount equal to $52.5 million and (ii) from Purchaser or Holdings under Section
9.2(b)(i) (other than with respect to the Purchaser Fully Indemnified Representations) shall be
an amount equal to $7.5 million.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining
whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty and the amount of any Losses that
are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Deductible

65

 

amount shall be the
materiality standard for all purposes hereunder and, therefore, each representation, warranty and
other provision contained in this Agreement and each certificate delivered pursuant hereto (other
than in the case of the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.11(a)(ii) and in
the certificate required to be delivered by the Company and Shareholder pursuant to Section
7.2(a) with respect to Section 3.11(a)(ii)) shall be read without regard and without
giving effect to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard or qualification contained in
such representation or warranty (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such
representation and warranty).

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Party shall be
liable to the other Party for any punitive or exemplary damages arising out of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery
by the Indemnified Party in respect of Losses directly incurred from Third Party Claims or Tax
Claims.

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to recover under any claim of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement to the
extent such Indemnified Party has previously been indemnified for such claim under the Stock
Contribution and Exchange Agreement.

          (g) The amount of the Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Agreement shall be net of any
applicable insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party under the Company’s and/or
Shareholder’s insurance policies in effect prior to the Closing.

     Section 9.6 Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy. Subject to the limitations set forth
in this Article IX, (a) the indemnification provided in Section 9.2(a) shall be
Purchaser’s and Holdings’ exclusive post-Closing monetary remedy for any breach by Shareholder, CTH
LLC or the Company of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, and (b) the
indemnification provided in Section 9.2(b) shall be Shareholder’s exclusive post-Closing
monetary remedy available for any breach by Purchaser or Holdings of any representation, warranty
or covenant contained herein, except in each case with regard to fraud. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties hereto would
be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties
hereto agrees that the other Parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction (without the posting
of a bond) to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this
Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof (including the indemnification provisions hereof) in
any competent court having jurisdiction over the Parties, in addition to any other remedy to which
they may be entitled at law or in equity.

     Section 9.7 Waiver, Release and Discharge.

          (a) Effective upon the Closing, each of Shareholder and CTH LLC hereby irrevocably waives,
releases and discharges the Company and its Subsidiaries from any and all liabilities and
obligations to Shareholder or CTH LLC arising from or based upon such Person’s status as a
shareholder (including, without limitation, in respect of rights of contribution or
indemnification), in each case, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known

66

 

or unknown, and whether arising hereunder or under any other agreement or understanding or
otherwise at law or equity, and neither Shareholder nor CTH LLC shall seek to recover any amounts
in connection therewith or thereunder from the Company or its Subsidiaries.

          (b) Each Party represents that such party has read Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State
of California (“Section 1542”), which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN
HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR.

          (c) Each of Shareholder and CTH LLC understands that Section 1542 gives such Party the right
not to release existing claims of which such Party is not now aware, unless such Party voluntarily
chooses to waive this right. Having been so apprised, each of Shareholder and CTH LLC voluntarily
elects to and does waive the rights described in Section 1542 and elects to assume all risks for
claims that existed in such Party’s favor, known or unknown, from the subject of this release.

     Section 10.5 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Neither the rights nor the obligations under this
Agreement shall be assigned or delegated by operation of law or otherwise and any attempted
assignment or delegation in violation of this provision shall be null and void; provided
that each of Purchaser and Holdings shall have the right to assign all or any portion of their
respective rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries
of Purchaser or Holdings (including any subsidiary which may be organized subsequent to the date
hereof), (ii) in connection with a merger or consolidation involving Purchaser or Holdings or other
disposition of all or substantially all of their respective assets or any of the divisions of
Purchaser or Holdings, or (iii) to any lender providing financing to Purchaser, Holdings or their
respective Affiliates, for collateral security purposes, and any such lender may exercise all of
the rights and remedies of Purchaser or Holdings hereunder, provided that no such
assignment shall in any manner limit or impair Purchaser’s or Holdings’ obligations hereunder.

     Section 10.6 Confidentiality. This Agreement is not intended to supersede or replace the
Confidentiality Agreement. The Confidentiality Agreement will survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and Purchaser
will continue to be obligated to perform and comply with its obligations under the Confidentiality
Agreement until the Closing, subject to Section 6.13. Upon the consummation of the
Closing, the Parties hereto agree that the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and forthwith
become null and void in all respects and cease to have any further effect.

     Section 10.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
irrespective of whether the Closing is effected, each Party shall pay all costs and expenses that
it incurs with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the other documents or agreements contemplated hereby; provided that if the Closing
occurs, the Company shall pay, at the Closing, all of the Purchaser Expenses.

     Section 10.8 Attorneys’ Fees. In any action at law or suit in equity to enforce this Agreement or the rights of any of
the Parties hereunder, the prevailing Party in such action or suit shall be entitled to receive a
reasonable sum for its attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such
action or suit.

     Section 10.9 Amendments and Waivers. Subject to the provisions of Section
6.4, this Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified except by an agreement in
writing signed by Shareholder and either of Purchaser or Holdings. No waiver shall be effective
unless it is in writing and is signed by the Party asserted to have granted such waiver. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph or Section 6.4 shall be
binding upon the Parties hereto and each future holder of the Shares. The waiver by any Party
hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
of any subsequent breach.

     Section 10.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
severable and if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable
under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the
Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in
accordance with its terms, unless such invalidity or enforceability after taking into account the
mitigation contemplated by this Section 10.10 deprives a Party of a material benefit
contemplated by the Agreement.

     Section 10.11 Interpretation. Unless otherwise indicated herein, with respect to any
reference made in this Agreement to a Section, Article, Subsection, Paragraph, Subparagraph,
Clause, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to a section, article, subsection, paragraph,
subparagraph or clause of, or an exhibit or schedule to, this Agreement. Any article, section,
subsection, paragraph or subparagraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context indicates

statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict
the construction of the general statement which is being clarified or illustrated. The Schedules
and Exhibits identified in this Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule and the
Shareholder Disclosure Schedule, are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this
Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring
construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
