ARTICLE II
EFFECTS OF THE MERGERS ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF AZTECA, THE EQUITY INTERESTS
OF IM AND THE CAPITAL STOCK OF CINE; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.1 Effect on Azteca Capital Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Azteca Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Azteca Merger Sub, Azteca or the holders of any shares of Azteca Common Stock:
(a) Conversion of Azteca Common Stock. Each share of Azteca Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any shares of Azteca Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(b), redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions of the Azteca Charter and Dissenting Shares, will be automatically converted into and will thereafter represent the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Parent Class A Common Stock (in the aggregate for all shares of Azteca Common Stock (other than any shares of Azteca Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(b), redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions of the Azteca Charter and Dissenting Shares), the "Azteca Merger Consideration"). From and after the Effective Time, the Azteca Common Stock converted into the Azteca Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) will no longer remain outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate previously representing any such Azteca Common Stock or shares of Azteca Common Stock that are in non-certificated book-entry form (either case being referred to in this Agreement, to the extent applicable, as an "Azteca Certificate") will thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Azteca Common Stock except the right to receive the Azteca Merger Consideration.
(b) Cancellation of Certain Shares of Azteca Common Stock. Each share of Azteca Common Stock held by Azteca as treasury stock (including shares of Azteca Common Stock redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions of the Azteca Charter), each share of Azteca Common Stock held by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Azteca, and each share of Azteca Common Stock
5
owned by Parent, IM, any Merger Subsidiary or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, automatically shall be cancelled and cease to exist without any conversion thereof, and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if and to the extent required by the DGCL, shares of Azteca Common Stock which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by holders of such shares of Azteca Common Stock who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto (the "Dissenting Shares") in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, will not be converted into the right to receive the Azteca Merger Consideration, and holders of such Dissenting Shares will be entitled to receive in lieu of the Azteca Merger Consideration payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL unless and until such holders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their rights to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such Dissenting Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Azteca Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1(c), if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time, then the right of any stockholder to be paid the fair value of such stockholder's Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL will cease. Azteca will give IM (i) prompt notice of any written demands received by Azteca for appraisal of Dissenting Shares, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL which are received by Azteca relating to such holder's rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Azteca will not, except with the prior written consent of IM, make any payment with respect to any demand for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands, and IM will not commit to make any such payment or enter into any such settlement prior to the Effective Time without the prior written consent of Azteca.
(d) If after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, Azteca pays a stock dividend in, splits, combines into a smaller number of shares, or issues by reclassification any shares of Azteca Common Stock, then the Azteca Merger Consideration will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of the Azteca Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action, and as so adjusted will, from and after the date of such event, be the Azteca Merger Consideration, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this provision.
Section 2.2 Azteca Warrants. At the Effective Time, each Stockholder Warrant and Sponsor Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Azteca Common Stock and shall be converted, at the Effective Time, into a right to acquire shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (a "Converted Warrant"), on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time under the terms of the Warrant Agreement as amended by the Warrant Amendment. The number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock subject to each such Converted Warrant shall be equal to the number of shares of Azteca Common Stock subject to each such Stockholder Warrant or Sponsor Warrant, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such Converted Warrant shall have an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of Azteca Common Stock subject to such Converted Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement as amended by the Warrant Amendment.
Section 2.3 Surrender and Payment.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent will appoint an exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") for the purpose of exchanging Azteca Certificates for Azteca Merger Consideration. As
6
soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will send, or will cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of record of Azteca Common Stock as of the Effective Time, whose shares of Azteca Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Azteca Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal (which will specify that the delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title will pass, only upon proper delivery of the Azteca Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent) in such form as Parent and IM may reasonably agree, including instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Azteca Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent in exchange for the Azteca Merger Consideration.
(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of shares of Azteca Common Stock, shares of Parent Class A Common Stock and an amount of cash sufficient to be issued and paid pursuant to Section 2.1, payable upon due surrender of the Azteca Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Following the Effective Time, Parent will make available to the Exchange Agent, when and as needed, cash sufficient to pay any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.3(g). All cash and book-entry shares representing shares of Parent Class A Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent are referred to in this Agreement as the "Exchange Fund." The Exchange Agent will, pursuant to irrevocable instructions to be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent, deliver the appropriate Azteca Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund will not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent will invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that no such investment or losses thereon will affect the Azteca Merger Consideration payable to holders of shares of Azteca Common Stock entitled to receive such consideration or cash in lieu of fractional interests and Parent will promptly cause to be provided additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of holders of shares of Azteca Common Stock entitled to receive such consideration in the amount of any such losses. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments will be the property of, and paid to, Parent.
(c) Each holder of shares of Azteca Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Azteca Merger Consideration, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of an Azteca Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, if any, that such holder has the right to receive and/or (ii) a check in the amount, if any, that such holder has the right to receive in cash, including cash for any dividends and other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g), pursuant to Section 2.1 and this Article II. The Azteca Merger Consideration will be paid as promptly as practicable (by mail or, to the extent commercially practicable, made available for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder of an Azteca Certificate) after receipt by the Exchange Agent of the Azteca Certificate and letter of transmittal in accordance with the foregoing, and in any event no later than three Business Days following the later to occur of (i) the Effective Time, and (ii) the Exchange Agent's receipt of the Azteca Certificate and letter of transmittal in accordance with the foregoing. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Azteca Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares or on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Azteca Certificates.
7
(d) If any cash payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Azteca Certificate is registered, it will be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment will pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such cash payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Azteca Certificate or will establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. If any portion of the Azteca Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Azteca Certificate is registered, it will be a condition to the registration thereof that the surrendered Azteca Certificate will be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such delivery of the Azteca Merger Consideration will pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other similar Taxes required as a result of such registration in the name of a Person other than the registered holder of such Azteca Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(e) After the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers of shares of Azteca Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Azteca Certificates representing shares of Azteca Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Azteca Common Stock except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Azteca Certificates are presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent, they will be cancelled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Azteca Surviving Corporation is obligated to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared or made by Azteca on shares of Azteca Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the date hereof and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.
(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Azteca Common Stock one year after the Effective Time will be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged his or her shares of Azteca Common Stock for the Azteca Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article II prior to that time will thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of the Azteca Merger Consideration in respect of such holder's shares of Azteca Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, IM, IM Merger Sub, Azteca Merger Sub, the Azteca Surviving Corporation or Azteca will be liable to any holder of shares of Azteca Common Stock for any Azteca Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property Laws. Any Azteca Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Azteca Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority will, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(g) No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issued in the Azteca Merger will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Azteca Certificates until such Azteca Certificates are surrendered as provided in this Section 2.3. Following such surrender, subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, there will be paid, without interest, to the record holder of the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, if any, issued in exchange therefor (i) at the time of such surrender, all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of any such shares of Parent Class A Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of Parent Class A Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender. For purposes of dividends
8
or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, all shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Azteca Merger will be entitled to dividends pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time.
(h) Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person who was a holder of Azteca Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time such amounts as Parent or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld (and paid to the applicable Governmental Authority) by Parent or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.
(i) In the event any Azteca Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Azteca Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such Azteca Merger Consideration as may be required pursuant to Section 2.1, cash for any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g); provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Azteca Certificates to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, or, if reasonably required by Parent, a bond in such reasonable sum as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent in respect of Azteca Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
Section 7.1 No Solicitation.
(a) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 7.1, Azteca shall not, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or initiate, or knowingly encourage, induce or facilitate (including by way of providing information) an Alternative Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to result in an Alternative Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or cooperate in any way with any Person (whether or not a Person making an Alternative Proposal) with respect to any Alternative Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to result in an Alternative Proposal, (iii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Alternative Proposal, (iv) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement, asset or share purchase or share exchange agreement option agreement or other similar agreement related to any Alternative Proposal (an "Acquisition Agreement"), (v) enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring Azteca to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder, or (vi) propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Azteca shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Proposal, or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to result in an Alternative Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives.
38
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Alternative Proposal, which was not preceded by, or resulting from, any breach of this Section 7.1 that the Azteca Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, Azteca may, subject to compliance with Section 7.1(f), prior to (but not after) the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of shares of Azteca Common Stock in accordance with Section 251 of the DCGL, take any action described in clauses (x) and (y) below, to the extent that the Azteca Board concludes in good faith (and following consultation with its outside counsel) that failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law: (x) furnish information with respect to Azteca and any of its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Alternative Proposal (and its Representatives and any financing sources) pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, so long as any material non-public information provided under this clause has previously been provided to IM and Cine or is provided to IM and Cine substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person, and (y) participate in discussions regarding the terms of such Alternative Proposal and the negotiation of such terms with the Person making such Alternative Proposal (and such Person's Representatives and any financing sources); provided, that Azteca shall within 24 hours provide IM and Cine with any information with respect to Azteca and any of its Subsidiaries provided to such Person which was not previously provided to IM and Cine (or their representatives). Azteca agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall terminate, waive, amend, modify or fail to enforce any existing standstill or confidentiality obligations owed by any Person to Azteca, in each case except to the extent necessary to permit Azteca to take an action it is otherwise permitted to take under this Section 7.1(b) in full compliance with such provision; provided, that Azteca (on behalf of itself and any of its Subsidiaries) hereby waives any such standstill obligation to the extent necessary to permit a Person otherwise covered by such standstill to submit a confidential unsolicited bona fide written Alternative Proposal to the Azteca Board. For purposes of clarification, the taking of any of the actions contemplated by clause (x) or (y) of this Section 7.1(b) shall not be deemed to be an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change.
(c) Except as set forth in Section 7.1(d), neither the Azteca Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in any manner adverse to IM or Cine), or propose to withdraw (or modify in any manner adverse to IM or Cine), the Azteca Board Recommendation, (B) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Alternative Proposal, (C) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow Azteca to execute or enter into, any Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), (D) enter into any agreement, letter of intent, or agreement in principle requiring Azteca to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder, (E) subject to Section 7.1(g), fail to recommend against any Alternative Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Alternative Proposal, (F) fail to include the Azteca Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or re-affirm such Azteca Board Recommendation at the written request of IM within ten (10) Business Days or (vii) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing (each being referred to as an "Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change").
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Azteca Board may, prior to (but not after) the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of shares of Azteca Common Stock in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL, make an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change if (x) in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Alternative Proposal, the Azteca Board determines (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) that such unsolicited bona fide written Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and following consultation with
39
outside legal counsel, that failure to make an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change is reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Azteca under applicable Law, or (y) other than in connection with an Alternative Proposal, an event, fact, circumstance, development or occurrence that affects the business, assets or operations of Azteca that is unknown to the Azteca Board as of the date of this Agreement becomes known to the Azteca Board (an "Intervening Event") prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of shares of Azteca Common Stock in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL and the Azteca Board has concluded in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to make an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change is reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Azteca under applicable Law; provided, however, that Azteca shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change until after the fourth (4th) Business Day (the "Recommendation Change Notice Period") following IM's and Cine's receipt of written notice (an "Azteca Notice of Recommendation Change") from Azteca advising IM and Cine that the Azteca Board intends to take such action, including the details of the Intervening Event or, in the case of a Superior Proposal, the terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Azteca Board and the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal, and, if applicable, shall have contemporaneously provided a copy of all of the relevant proposed transaction agreements and any other documents provided by, or correspondence with, the party making such Superior Proposal, including the then-current form of the definitive agreements with respect to such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term of such Superior Proposal or change to the material facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event shall require a new Azteca Notice of Recommendation Change and trigger a new Recommendation Change Notice Period). The Azteca Board may not make an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of a Superior Proposal if any such Superior Proposal resulted from a breach by Azteca of this Section 7.1.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining whether to make an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change, the Azteca Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to in writing by IM and Cine in response to an Azteca Notice of Recommendation Change or otherwise; provided, that Azteca shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the Recommendation Change Notice Period and prior to any Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change, negotiate with IM and Cine in good faith (to the extent IM and Cine also seek to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that (i) in the event of an Azteca Notice of Recommendation Change in respect of a Superior Proposal, this Agreement results in a transaction that is no less favorable to the stockholders of Azteca than any Alternative Proposal that would be deemed to constitute a Superior Proposal in the absence of such adjustments or (ii) in the event of an Azteca Notice of Recommendation change in respect of an Intervening Event, the Azteca Board would no longer be required to make an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change in order not to be reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Azteca under applicable Law, and, in the event IM and Cine agree to make such adjustments to the Agreement in either case of clause (i) or (ii) above, as applicable, no Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change shall be made. Azteca agrees that any violation of this Section 7.1 by any director, executive officer, investment banker, or counsel of Azteca shall be deemed a breach of this Section 7.1 by Azteca.
40
(f) In addition to the forgoing obligations of Azteca set forth in this Section 7.1, Azteca shall within 24 hours of the receipt thereof, advise IM and Cine orally of any Alternative Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Alternative Proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Alternative Proposal. Azteca shall (x) keep IM and Cine informed in all material respects and on a reasonably current basis (and in no event later than 24 hours from the occurrence or existence of any material event, fact or circumstance) of the status and details (including any material change to the terms thereof) of any Alternative Proposal, and (y) provide to IM and Cine as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material exchanged between Azteca and any Person that describes any of the terms or conditions of any Alternative Proposal.
(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Azteca from complying with Rules 14a-9, 14d-9, 14e-2 and Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a "stop, look and listen" statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder or making any required disclosure to Azteca's stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Azteca Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law; provided, that any such statement (other than a "stop, look and listen" statement) shall be deemed an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change unless (x) the Azteca Board making the disclosure or communication expressly and concurrently reaffirms the Azteca Board Recommendation and (y) such statement is made in accordance with Section 7.1(d) and Section 7.1(e).
Section 7.2 Preparation of SEC Documents. As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, (a) Parent, IM, Cine and Azteca shall prepare and file with the SEC the proxy statement/prospectus (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus") to be sent to the stockholders of Azteca and holders of Stockholder Warrants relating to (i) the meeting of Azteca's stockholders (the "Azteca Stockholders' Meeting") to be held to consider the approval of the Azteca Merger and (ii) the meeting of the holders of Stockholder Warrants (the "Warrantholders Meeting") to be held to consider the approval of the Warrant Amendment and (b) Cine shall cause Parent to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 or such other applicable form as Azteca, Cine and IM may agree (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Registration Statement"), in which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be included as a prospectus, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Azteca Merger and related Parent warrants. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, and, prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, Cine shall cause Parent to take all action reasonably required (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or filing a general consent to service of process) to be taken under any applicable state securities Laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Transaction. Each of Parent, Azteca, Cine and IM shall furnish all information as may be reasonably requested by the other in connection with any such action and the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement shall have become effective, Azteca shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to its stockholders as of the record date for the Azteca Stockholders' Meeting and holders of Stockholder Warrants as of the record date for the Warrantholders Meeting. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be made (in each case including documents incorporated by reference therein) without providing Azteca, IM, Cine and Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Azteca, IM, Cine or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by Azteca, IM, Cine or Parent which should be set forth in an
41
amendment or supplement to either the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of Azteca and holders of Stockholder Warrants. Cine or Parent, as applicable, will advise the other parties hereto promptly after it receives any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as applicable, or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information and will promptly provide the other with copies of any written communication between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, any state securities commission or their respective staffs, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Mergers. Azteca, IM, Cine and Parent shall use their respective reasonable best efforts, after consultation with each other, to resolve all such requests or comments with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Azteca, IM, Cine and Parent shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of each of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Registration Statement and each of IM, Cine, Parent and Azteca shall furnish Azteca or Cine, as applicable, with all information concerning it and its Affiliates as the providing party (after consulting with counsel) may deem reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as applicable. Azteca, on the one hand, and IM and Cine, on the other hand, shall notify each other promptly of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective, of the issuance of any stop order or suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Mergers for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement or for additional information. Azteca shall bear 50%, IM shall bear 31% and Cine shall bear 19% of all costs, expenses and fees incurred or payable to any other Person in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Registration Statement and the fees, costs and expenses of the financial printer and other Persons for the printing and mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, other than legal fees and expenses which shall be subject to Section 7.6.
Section 7.3 Azteca Stockholders' Meeting and Warrantholders Meeting.
(a) Azteca shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Azteca Stockholders' Meeting for the purpose of seeking the Azteca Stockholder Approval.

Azteca shall, through the Azteca Board, recommend to its stockholders that they give the Azteca Stockholder Approval (the "Azteca Board Recommendation") and shall include such Azteca Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, except to the extent that the Azteca Board shall have made an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 7.1. Azteca agrees that its obligations to hold the Azteca Stockholders' Meeting pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to Azteca of any Alternative Proposal or by the making of any Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change by the Azteca Board and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Azteca of such obligation. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Azteca Board shall have effected an Azteca Adverse Recommendation Change, then the Azteca Board shall submit this Agreement to Azteca's stockholders without recommendation (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Azteca Board may
42
communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to Azteca's shareholders in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by applicable Law. Azteca shall not adjourn, postpone or recess the Azteca Stockholders' Meeting without the prior written consent of each of IM and Cine (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall adjourn, postpone or recess such meeting as directed by IM and Cine in order to obtain a quorum or solicit additional votes (so long as such meeting is not adjourned, postponed or recessed to a date on after the Outside Date) to the extent necessary to obtain the Azteca Stockholder Approval. In addition to the foregoing, Azteca shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders any Alternative Proposal other than the Mergers.
(b) Azteca shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Warrantholders Meeting for the purpose of seeking the Warrantholders Approval.

Section 10.5 Interpretation. Unless otherwise expressly provided, for the purposes of this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation shall apply:
(a) The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation hereof.
(b) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an article or a section, paragraph, Exhibit or schedule, such reference shall be to an article or a section, paragraph, Exhibit or schedule hereof unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary.
(c) Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation."
(d) The words "hereof," "herein" and "herewith" and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.
(e) The word "extent" in the phrase "to the extent" shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply "if."
(f) The meaning assigned to each term defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of such term, and words denoting any gender shall include all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning.
(g) A reference to "$," "U.S. dollars" or "dollars" shall mean the legal tender of the United States of America.

(j) Unless otherwise defined, a reference to any accounting term shall have the meaning as defined under GAAP.
(k) The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto). In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions hereof.
(l) Any statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented,
64
including by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.
(m) The phrases "made available to IM" and "provided to IM" when used herein, shall mean copies of the subject document were either (i) made publicly available as an Exhibit to Azteca's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 or to any subsequently filed Form 10-Q filed by Azteca with the SEC prior to the date hereof or (ii) otherwise provided to IM.
(n) The phrases "made available to Azteca" and "provided to Azteca" when used herein, shall mean copies of the subject document (i) were uploaded to certain data rooms prior to the date of this Agreement accessible by Azteca and/or (ii) otherwise provided to Azteca.
Section 10.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together will be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. For purposes of this Agreement, facsimile signatures or signatures by other electronic form of transfer shall be deemed originals, and the parties agree to exchange original signatures as promptly as possible.
Section 10.7 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including the Confidentiality Agreement and the documents and instruments referred to herein) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and except for, after the Effective Time, the rights of Azteca's stockholders to receive the Azteca Merger Consideration as specified in Section 2.1, and the rights of Azteca's, Cine's and IM's current directors and officers under Section 7.10, this Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.
Section 10.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related thereto, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties, whether arising in Law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its rules regarding conflicts of Law to the extent that the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.
Section 10.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 10.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement or the Transaction and obligations arising hereunder brought by any other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and
65
determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such Action for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transaction in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 10.10, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the Action in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement or the Transaction or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.
Section 10.11 Effect of Disclosure. The disclosure of any matter in the Azteca Disclosure Schedule, the Cine Disclosure Schedule or the IM Disclosure Schedule shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by Azteca, Cine or IM, respectively, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purpose of this Agreement.
Section 10.12 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transaction is fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 10.13 Waiver and Amendment; Remedies Cumulative. Subject to applicable Law, (a) any provision of this Agreement (other than Section 8.1(a)) or any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any of the parties or compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement may be waived or (b) the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the parties here may be extended at any time prior to Closing. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom waiver is sought; provided, that any extension or waiver given in compliance with this Section 10.13 or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Subject to applicable Law, any of the provisions of this Agreement (other than Section 8.1(a) and the first sentence of this Section 10.13) may be amended at any time, whether before or after the receipt of the Azteca Stockholder Approval, by the mutual written agreement of IM, Cine and Azteca; provided, however, that after the Azteca Stockholder Approval has been obtained, no such amendment shall be made which by law requires further stockholder approval without such approval. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.
Section 10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
66
COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF IM, AZTECA OR ANY OF THE MERGER SUBSIDIARIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 10.15 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by any party. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches and/or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or in Delaware state court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled to at Law or in equity.
