the Board’s special counsel which may constitute privileged communications, (y) attend
meetings of the Board which include topics of discussion which may constitute a conflict of
interest between the Company and the Quadrangle Investors or (z) vote on any matters voted
on by the Board. The determination of whether a conflict of interest exists for purpose
of
5
clause (y) in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made by a majority of the
Board. If such a determination is made prior to a Board meeting, the Board shall provide
written notice to the Quadrangle Investors setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for
such conflict of interest. Such a determination may be made during an ongoing Board meeting
by a majority of the Board and upon such determination the Observer shall immediately leave
the meeting. Upon the conclusion of the discussion (including any action by the Board
thereon) which constitutes a conflict of interest between the Company and the Quadrangle
Investors, the Observer shall be invited to return to the meeting. No business other than
the discussion (including any action by the Board thereon) which constitutes a conflict of
interest between the Company and the Quadrangle Investors may be conducted by the Board at
such an ongoing Board meeting until the Observer has been notified in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence. The Quadrangle Investors’ right to designate an Observer
shall terminate automatically and cease to have any further force or effect upon the earlier
to occur of (i) the Observer designated under this Section 1(c)(iii) is not a member or
employee of Quadrangle Group, LLC (it being understood and agreed that, should the current

the Quadrangle Group, LLC within 5 business days thereof) and (ii) the Quadrangle Investors
and their Permitted Transferees cease to hold in the aggregate at least 2% of the

Quadrangle Investors;
(iv) the number of Syufy Directors shall be reduced by one upon the occurrence of each

the Syufy Investor, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx or Xxxxxx Xxxxx breach the terms of Section 3 of the
Non-Competition and Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the
Syufy Investor, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx and the Company (the “Syufy Non-Competition
Agreement”) (this clause (1), a “Non-Curable Termination Event”) or (2) the Syufy Investor
or its Permitted Transferees, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx or Xxxxxx Xxxxx (each, a “Syufy Person”) holds,
directly or indirectly, any interest of any business (other than the Company) that owns,
operates or manages movie theatres that are not drive-in theaters (a “Competing Business”)
but where such ownership would not violate Section 3 of the Syufy Non-Competition Agreement
(this clause (2), a “Curable Termination Event”); provided that the foregoing loss of rights
upon the ownership, operation or management of a Competing Business shall not apply to (i) holding up to a 5% interest in any publicly
traded company or (ii) holding an ownership interest in a Competing Business that (x)
6
owns, operates or manages less than 100 screens in the aggregate in any one or more states in

interest, own, operate or manage a movie theater and/or (y) owns, operates or manages less
than 32 screens in the aggregate in any one or more states in which the Company, at the time
the Syufy Person first acquires such ownership interest, owns, operates or manages a movie
theater. For purposes of calculating the number of screens for purposes of clause (ii) of
the foregoing sentence, movie screens acquired by a Syufy Person following an event of
default under a lease under which the Syufy Person is the lessor and which gives such lessor
the right to regain possession of and operate such theatre shall be disregarded unless the
Syufy Person demolishes and rebuilds a new theatre on the property. In the event that the
rights of the Syufy Investor to designate the Syufy Directors terminates by reason of a
Curable Termination Event, the Syufy Investor shall have the right to cure such Curable
Termination Event and the Syufy Investor’s rights to designate the Syufy Directors shall be
reinstated at such time as there is no longer a Curable Termination Event in effect. In the
event that the Syufy Investor and their Permitted Transferees hold in the aggregate less
than 3% of the outstanding shares of Company Class A Common Stock, the Syufy Investor shall
have the right to designate an Observer, which shall be a director of the general partner
of, or an executive officer of, Syufy Enterprises; provided, however, that this right to

all meetings of the Board but shall not be entitled to (x) attend meetings of the Board with
the Company’s counsel or the Board’s special counsel which may constitute privileged
communications, (y) attend meetings of the Board which include topics of discussion which
may constitute a conflict of interest between the Company and the Syufy Investor or (z) vote
on any matters voted on by the Board. The determination of whether a conflict of interest
exists for purpose of clause (y) in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made by a
majority of the Board. If such a determination is made prior to a Board meeting, the Board
shall provide written notice to the Syufy Investor setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for such conflict of interest. Such a determination may be made during an ongoing
Board meeting by a majority of the Board and upon such determination the Observer shall
immediately leave the meeting. Upon the conclusion of the discussion (including any action
by the Board thereon) which constitutes a conflict of interest between the Company and the
Syufy Investor, the Observer shall be invited to return to the meeting. No business other
than the discussion (including any action by the Board thereon) which constitutes a conflict
of interest between the Company and the Syufy Investor may be conducted by the Board at such

have any further force or effect at such time as MDCP and its Permitted Transferees hold in

proposes to Transfer Stockholder Shares (other than pursuant to an Exempt Transfer), then not less
than 20 days prior to the date on which such Transfer will occur (such 20-day period, the “Election
Period”), the transferring holder (the “Transferring Stockholder”) shall deliver a written notice
(an “Offer Notice”) to the Company, MDCP, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the
Syufy Investor. The Offer Notice shall disclose in reasonable detail the number of Stockholder
Shares proposed to be Transferred (the “Offered Shares”), the material terms and conditions of the
Transfer and the identity, background and ownership (if applicable) of the prospective
transferee(s), and the Offer Notice shall constitute a binding offer to sell the Offered Shares in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(c), first to the Company, and then to MDCP, the
Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor.
(ii) Upon receipt of the Offer Notice, the Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of
the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms specified therein by delivering written notice
(the “Company Election Notice”) of such election to the Transferring Stockholder, MDCP, the
Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor as soon as practical, but in
any event within 10 days (the “Company Offer Period”) after the delivery of the Offer Notice to the
Company, MDCP, the Xxxxxxxx Investors the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor.
(iii) If and only if the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares within
the Company Offer Period, then MDCP, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy
Investor in the aggregate may purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares not
elected to be purchased by the Company (such Offered Shares, the “Available Shares”) at the price
and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice. Each Stockholder electing to purchase a portion of
the Available Shares (each a “Participating Stockholder”) shall deliver written notice (the
“Stockholder Election Notice”) of such election to the Transferring Stockholder and the Company
within 20 days after delivery of the Offer Notice to the Company, MDCP, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the
Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor. The number of Available Shares which may be purchased
by each Participating Stockholder shall be determined by the Company as follows:
(A) Each Participating Stockholder shall specify in the Stockholder Election
Notice the maximum number of Available Shares such Participating
10
Stockholder is
requesting to purchase (such number of Available Shares, that Participating
Stockholder’s “Requested Amount”).
(B) The Company shall first allocate the Available Shares among the
Participating Stockholders such that each Participating Stockholder is allocated
(such Participating Stockholder’s “Initial Allocation”) the lesser of (i) such
Participating Purchaser’s Requested Amount and (ii) the product of (A) the quotient
of the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock held by such Participating
Stockholder divided by the aggregate shares of Company Class A Common Stock held by
all Participating Stockholders immediately prior to delivery of the Offer Notice
(such percentage, such Participating Purchaser’s “Pro Rata Share”) multiplied by (B)
the total number of Available Shares.
(C) If the sum of each Initial Allocation for each Participating Stockholder
(the “Initial Allocation Sum”) is less than the total number of Available Shares,
then the difference between the Initial Allocation Sum and the Number of Available
Shares (such difference, the “Remaining Available Shares”) shall be allocated to the
Participating Stockholders whose Requested Amount equaled or exceeded their Pro Rata
Share (such Participating Stockholders, the “Remaining Participating Stockholders”).
The Company shall allocate to each Remaining Participating Stockholders the lesser
of (i) the difference between the amount allocated to such Stockholder pursuant to
Section 3(c)(iii)(B) and such Stockholder’s Requested Amount and (ii) the
product of (A) the quotient of the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock
held by such Remaining Participating Stockholder divided by the aggregate shares of
Company Class A Common Stock held by all Remaining Participating Stockholders
immediately prior to delivery of the Offer Notice (such percentage, such Remaining
Participating Purchaser’s “Remaining Pro Rata Share”) multiplied by (B) the total
number of Remaining Available Shares.
(D) If after the allocation of Remaining Available Shares, all Offered Shares
have not been allocated because a Remaining Participating Stockholder’s Requested
Amount was less than such Remaining Participating Stockholder’s Remaining Pro Rata
Share multiplied by the total number of Remaining Available Shares, then the Company
shall continue to allocate Available Shares in accordance with Paragraph (C)
immediately above until the earlier to occur of (i) all Available Shares are
allocated among the Participating Stockholders and (ii) all Participating
Stockholders are allocated their Requested Amount.
(iv) If the Company and/or MDCP, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and/or the
Syufy Investor elect to purchase Stockholder Shares from the Transferring Stockholder, the Transfer
of such shares shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the Company Election
Notice or the Stockholder Election Notice, as applicable, to the Transferring Stockholder, but in any event within 45 days after the
expiration of the Election Period.
11
(v) To the extent that the aggregate number of Offered Shares elected to be purchased by the
Company, MDCP, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and/or the Syufy Investor does not
in the aggregate equal all of the Offered Shares, then the offer to sell such Offered Shares
pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) shall be automatically revoked upon the expiration of the Election
Period and the Transferring Stockholder may, within 90 days after the expiration of the Election
Period and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Transfer such Offered Shares at a price no
less than the price per share specified in the Offer Notice and on other terms no more favorable to
the transferees thereof than those offered to the Company, MDCP, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the
Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor in the Offer Notice. Any Offered Shares not
Transferred within such 90-day period shall be reoffered to the Company, MDCP, the Xxxxxxxx
Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor under this Section 3(c) prior to any
subsequent Transfer.
(d) First Refusal Rights upon Transfers by MDCP to a Competitor.
(i) If MDCP proposes to Transfer its Stockholder Shares to a Competitor or such Competitor’s
Affiliates and such Transfer will not be effected in connection with a Sale of the Company, then
not less than 20 days prior to the date on which such Transfer will occur (such 20-day period, the
“Competitor Sale Election Period”), such Person shall deliver a written notice (a “Competitor Sale
Offer Notice”) to the Company, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy
Investor. The Competitor Sale Offer Notice shall disclose in reasonable detail the number of
Stockholder Shares to be Transferred, the material terms and conditions of the Transfer and the
identity, background and ownership (if applicable) of the Competitor, and the Competitor Sale Offer
Notice shall constitute a binding offer to sell such Stockholder Shares in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3(d), first to the Company, and then to the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the
Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of
Company Class A Common Stock then held by each of the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors
and the Syufy Investor as a percentage of the aggregate number of shares of Company Class A Common
Stock then held by the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor, on the
terms and conditions contained in the Competitor Sale Offer Notice.
(ii) Upon receipt of the Competitor Sale Offer Notice, the Company may elect to purchase all
(but not less than all) of the Stockholder Shares specified in the Competitor Sale Offer Notice at
the price and on the terms specified therein by delivering written notice (the “Competitor Sale
Election Notice”) of such election to MDCP, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and
the Syufy Investor as soon as practical, but in any event within 10 days (the “Competitor Sale
Offer Period”) after the delivery of the Competitor Sale Offer Notice to the Company and MDCP.
(iii) If and only if the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Stockholder Shares
within the Competitor Sale Offer Period, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the
Syufy Investor may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Stockholder Shares specified in the Competitor Sale Offer Notice at the price and on the
terms specified therein by delivering written notice (the “Xxxxxxxx-Quadrangle-Syufy Election
Notice”) of such election to MDCP within 20 days after delivery of the Offer Notice to the
12
Company,
the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor. Any purchase by the
Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor pursuant to this Section
3(d) shall be on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock
held by each of the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor as a
percentage of the aggregate shares of Company Class A Common Stock held by the Xxxxxxxx Investors,
the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor immediately prior to such purchase. If the Xxxxxxxx
Investors, the Quadrangle Investors or the Syufy Investor does not elect to purchase their pro rata
share of the Stockholder Shares subject to the Competitor Sale Offer Notice, the Xxxxxxxx
Investors, the Quadrangle Investors or the Syufy Investor, as applicable, which have elected to
purchase their pro rata share of the Stockholder Shares subject to the Competitor Offer Sale Notice
may purchase such remaining Stockholder Shares on a pro rata basis by providing written notice to
MDCP and the Company.
(iv) If the Company and/or any of the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and/or the
Syufy Investor elect to purchase Stockholder Shares from MDCP, the Transfer of such shares shall be
consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the Competitor Sale Election Notice or the
Xxxxxxxx-Quadrangle-Syufy Election Notice, as applicable, to MDCP, but in any event within 45 days
after the expiration of the Competitor Sale Election Period.
(v) To the extent that the Company, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the
Syufy Investor do not elect to purchase all of the Stockholder Shares being offered, MDCP may,
within 90 days after the expiration of the Competitor Sale Election Period and subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, Transfer such Stockholder Shares to the Competitor (or such
Competitor’s Affiliates) identified in the Competitor Sale Offer Notice at a price no less than the
price per share specified in the Competitor Sale Offer Notice and on other terms no more favorable
to the Competitor (or such Competitor’s Affiliates) than those offered to the Company, the Xxxxxxxx
Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor in the Competitor Sale Offer Notice.
Any Stockholder Shares held by MDCP not Transferred within such 90-day period shall be reoffered to
the Company, the Xxxxxxxx Investors, the Quadrangle Investors and the Syufy Investor under this
Section 3(d) prior to any subsequent Transfer to a Competitor.
(e) Participation Rights.
(i) If MDCP proposes to Transfer any of its Stockholder Shares (other than pursuant to an
Exempt Transfer, then not less than 20 days prior to any such Transfer of Stockholder Shares (such
20-day period, the “MDCP Sale Period”), MDCP shall deliver a written notice (the “MDCP Sale
Notice”) to the Company and all holders of Stockholder Shares other than MDCP (the “Other
Stockholders”) specifying in reasonable detail the identity, background and ownership (if any) of
the prospective transferee(s), the number of shares to be Transferred and the terms and conditions
of the Transfer (which notice may be the same notice and given at the same time as the Offer Notice
under Section 3(d)). Subject to Section 3(e)(iii),
the Other Stockholders may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer at the same price
per share and on the same terms by delivering written notice (the “MDCP Sale Election Notice”) to
MDCP within the MDCP Sale Period. If any of the Other Stockholders has elected to
13
participate in
such Transfer, then MDCP and such Other Stockholder shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated
Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, a number of Stockholder Shares equal to the
product of (A) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the percentage of Stockholder Shares owned
by such Person by (y) the aggregate percentage of Stockholder Shares owned by MDCP and the Other
Stockholders participating in such sale, and (B) the number of Stockholder Shares to be sold in the
contemplated Transfer.
For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100
Stockholder Shares by MDCP, and if MDCP at such time owns 30% of all
Stockholder Shares and if the Xxxxxxxx Investors owning 20%, Executives
owning 10%, the Quadrangle Investors owning 8% and the Syufy Investor
owning 10% of all Stockholder Shares elect to participate, then MDCP would
be entitled to sell 38 shares ((30% ÷ 78%) x 100 shares), the Xxxxxxxx
Investors would be entitled to sell 26 shares ((20% ÷ 78%) x 100 shares),
the Executives would be entitled to sell 13 shares ((10% ÷ 78%) x 100
shares), the Quadrangle Investors would be entitled to sell 10 shares ((8%
÷ 78%) x 100 shares) and the Syufy Investor would be entitled to sell 13
shares ((10% ÷ 78%) x 100 shares).
(ii) Any of the Other Stockholders may elect to sell in any Transfer contemplated under this
Section 3(e) a number of Stockholder Shares less than any such Other Stockholder is entitled to
sell hereunder, in which case MDCP shall have the right to sell an additional number of Stockholder
Shares in such Transfer equal to the number that all such Other Stockholders are permitted to sell
but have elected not to sell. MDCP shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the
prospective transferee(s) to the participation of the Other Stockholders in any contemplated
Transfer, and MDCP shall not Transfer any of its Stockholder Shares to any prospective transferee
if such prospective transferee declines to allow the participation of the Other Stockholders. Each
holder Transferring Stockholder Shares pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall pay such holder’s pro
rata share (based on the number of Stockholder Shares to be sold) of the expenses incurred by the
holders in connection with such Transfer and shall be obligated to join on a pro rata basis (based
on the number of Stockholder Shares to be sold) in any indemnification or other obligations that
MDCP agrees to provide in connection with such Transfer (other than any such obligations that
relate specifically to a particular holder such as indemnification with respect to representations
and warranties given by a holder regarding such holder’s title to and ownership of Stockholder
Shares); provided that no holder shall be obligated in connection with such Transfer to agree to
indemnify or hold harmless the transferees with respect to an amount in excess of the net
consideration paid to such holder in connection with such Transfer.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Executive (or any of such Executive’s Permitted
Transferees) shall be entitled to participate under this Section 3(e) in any Transfer made by MDCP
or any of its Permitted Transferees, unless such Transfer (together with any related Transfers)
constitutes a Sale of the Company.
(f) Transfers to Competitors. No holder of Stockholder Shares (other than MDCP and
its Permitted Transferees, subject to Section 3(d)) shall Transfer any Stockholder
14
Shares to any
Competitor, except pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that this
Section 3(f) shall not be deemed to limit the ability of any holder of Stockholder Shares from
Transferring such Shares in a Public Sale or in a registered offering of securities pursuant to the
Registration Agreement.
(g) Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions on the Transfer of Stockholder
Shares set forth in this Section 3 shall continue with respect to each Stockholder Share until the
date on which such Stockholder Share has been transferred in a Public Sale or in a Sale of the
Company.
4. Sale of the Company.
(a) If the Board or MDCP approves a Sale of the Company and delivers written notice to the
holders of Stockholders Shares invoking the provisions of this Section (any such sale, an “Approved
Sale”), the holders of Stockholders Shares shall consent to, vote in favor of and raise no
objections against the Approved Sale.
(b) If the Approved Sale is structured as (i) a merger or consolidation, each holder of
Stockholder Shares shall vote its Stockholder Shares to approve such merger or consolidation,
whether by written consent or at a stockholders meeting (as requested by the Board or MDCP, as the
case may be), and waive all dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights and similar rights in connection
with such merger or consolidation, (ii) a sale of stock, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall
agree to sell, and shall sell, all of its Stockholder Shares and rights to acquire Stockholder
Shares on the terms and conditions so approved, or (iii) a sale of assets, each holder of
Stockholder Shares shall vote its Stockholder Shares to approve such sale and any subsequent
liquidation of the Company or other distribution of the proceeds therefrom, whether by written
consent or at a stockholders meeting (as requested by the Board or MDCP, as the case may be).
(c) In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) each holder of Stockholder Shares shall take, with
respect to such holder’s Stockholder Shares, all necessary or desirable actions reasonably
requested by the Board or MDCP, as the case may be, in connection with the consummation of the
Approved Sale, including without limitation, voting to approve such transaction and executing the
applicable purchase agreement, and (ii) each holder of Stockholder Shares shall make substantially
similar representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements as each other holder of Stockholder
Shares, provided that (A) each holder of Stockholder Shares shall be obligated to make
representations and warranties as to such Stockholder’s title to and ownership of Stockholder
Shares, authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents by such Stockholder,
enforceability of relevant agreements against such Stockholder and other matters relating to such
Stockholder, to enter into covenants in respect of a Transfer of such Stockholder’s Stockholder
Shares in connection with such Approved Sale and to enter into indemnification obligations with
respect to the foregoing, in each case to the extent that each other Stockholder is similarly
obligated, but no Stockholder shall be obligated to enter into indemnification obligations with
respect to any of the foregoing in respect of any other Stockholder or such other Stockholder’s Stockholder Shares and (B) in no event shall any
Stockholder be liable in respect of any indemnity obligations pursuant to any Approved Sale in
15
an aggregate amount in excess of the total consideration payable to such Stockholder in such Approved
Sale.
(d) The obligations of the holders of Stockholder Shares with respect to an Approved Sale are
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) except as provided in the provisos in
Sections 8(d)(1)(iii) and 8(d)(1)(iv) of this Agreement, upon the consummation of the Approved
Sale, each holder of Stockholder Shares will receive the same form of consideration and the same
portion of the aggregate consideration that such holder of Stockholder Shares would have received
if such aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company in complete liquidation
pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as
in effect immediately prior to such Approved Sale; (ii) except as provided in the provisos in
Sections 8(d)(1)(iii) and 8(d)(1)(iv) of this Agreement, if any holder of a class of Stockholder
Shares is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, each holder of
such class of Stockholder Shares will be given the same option; and (iii) each holder of then
currently exercisable rights to acquire shares of a class of Stockholder Shares will be given an
opportunity to exercise such rights prior to the consummation of the Approved Sale and participate
in such sale as holders of such class of Stockholder Shares; provided that the condition that each
holder of Stockholder Shares receives, or is provided with the same option to receive, the same
form of consideration as set forth in clause (i) and clause (ii) above shall be deemed satisfied
with respect to (A) the Quadrangle Investors and their Permitted Transferees, so long as the
Quadrangle Investors and their Permitted Transferees receive the same form of consideration, the
same amount of consideration per share, and the same option as to the form of consideration as MDCP
receives in the Approved Sale, (B) the Syufy Investor and their Permitted Transferees, so long as
the Syufy Investor and their Permitted Transferees receive the same form of consideration, the same
amount of consideration per share, and the same option as to the form of consideration as MDCP
receives in the Approved Sale and (C) with respect to all other Stockholders, even if certain
holders of Stockholders Shares receive, to the exclusion of others, securities of the entity
acquiring the Company in an Approved Sale, so long as each holder of Stockholder Shares receives
the same amount of value, whether in cash or such securities, as of the closing of such Approved
Sale with respect to such holder’s Stockholder Shares.
(e) If the Company or the holders of the Company’s securities enter into any negotiation or
transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities
Exchange Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a
merger, consolidation or other reorganization), the holders of Stockholder Shares shall at the
request of the Company, appoint a “purchaser representative” (as such term is defined in Rule 501)
reasonably acceptable to the Company. If any holder of Stockholder Shares appoints a purchaser
representative designated by the Company, the Company shall pay the fees of such purchaser
representative. However, if any holder of Stockholder Shares declines to appoint the purchaser
representative designated by the Company, such holder shall appoint another purchaser
representative (reasonably acceptable to the Company), and such holder shall be responsible for the
fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.
16
(f) Subject to Section 4(e), each holder of Stockholder Shares shall, to the extent requested
by the Company, pay such holder’s pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the holders in
connection with an Approved Sale.
5. Holdback Agreement. No Executive or any of his Permitted Transferees shall effect
any public sale or distribution of any Stockholder Shares or of any other capital stock or equity
securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
such stock or securities, for such period of time from and after the effective date of any
underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration (as such terms are
defined in the Registration Agreement) as the Company and the underwriters managing the
registration request (the “Market Stand-Off”). In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to Stockholder Shares until the end of
the Market Stand-Off. The restrictions on the transfer of Stockholder Shares set forth in this
Section 5 shall continue with respect to each Stockholder Share until the date on which such
Stockholder Share has been transferred in a Public Sale.
6. Preemptive Rights.
(a) Except for issuances of equity securities or securities or instruments containing
equity-like features (i) in the form of Company Class A Common Stock or options to acquire Company
Class A Common Stock to employees, directors or consultants of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, (ii) upon the conversion, recapitalization or reorganization of any securities of the
Company, (iii) as consideration for the acquisition of or investment in another company or business
(whether through a purchase of securities, a merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or
otherwise), including, without limitation, joint ventures and strategic alliances, (iv) pursuant to
a registered public offering of Company Class A Common Stock under the Securities Act, (v) as
additional yield or return in respect of institutional indebtedness for borrowed money, (vi) as a
dividend or other distribution in respect of the Company’s equity securities or (vii) in connection
with a stock split or similar event, if the Company authorizes the issuance or sale of any shares
of Company Class A Common Stock or any other equity securities of the Company or any securities,
options or other rights to acquire any shares of Company Class A Common Stock or other equity
securities of the Company (any such securities or rights referred to herein as “Additional
Securities”), the Company shall first offer to sell to each holder of Stockholder Shares (other
than shares of Company Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of stock options (such
shares referred to herein collectively as “Option Shares”)) a portion of such Additional Securities
equal to the quotient determined by dividing (A) the number of shares of Company Class A Common
Stock (other than Option Shares) held by such holder by (B) the total number of shares of Company
Class A Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (assuming exercise of all outstanding
rights to acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock); provided that such offer shall be made
only to the holders of Stockholder Shares that are “accredited investors” under Regulation D of the
Securities Act, or the Company otherwise consents to such holders’ participation under this Section
6; and provided further that, if such Additional Securities are being offered in combination with
other securities of the Company, the Persons exercising rights pursuant to this Section 6 shall
also be required to purchase the same strip of securities on the same terms and conditions as being
offered by the Company. Holders of Stockholder Shares (other than Option Shares) shall be
17
entitled to purchase such Additional Securities at the same price and on the same terms as such Additional Securities are to be
offered to any other Persons. The purchase price for all Additional Securities so offered to the
holders of Stockholder Shares hereunder shall be payable in cash.
(b) In order to exercise their purchase rights hereunder, each holder of Stockholder Shares
(other than Option Shares) shall, within 10 days after receipt of written notice from the Company
describing in reasonable detail the stock or securities being offered, the purchase price thereof,
the payment terms and such holder’s percentage allotment, deliver a written notice to the Company
describing such holder’s election hereunder.
(c) Upon the expiration of the offering period described above, the Company shall be entitled
to sell such Additional Securities that the holders of Stockholder Shares have not elected to
purchase during the 90 days following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to
the purchasers thereof than those offered to such holders. Any such Additional Securities offered
or sold by the Company after such 90-day period shall be reoffered to the holders of Stockholder
Shares (other than Option Shares) pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.
7. Anti-Takeover Measures. Prior to the commencement of the initial public offering
of shares of the Company’s Company Class A Common Stock registered under the Securities Act, MDCP
shall request that the Board adopt reasonable and customary anti-takeover measures, except to the
extent that (i) the Board in the observance of its fiduciary duties determines that any such
measures are not in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders or (ii) the Company’s
underwriters managing the public offering advise the Company that any such measures will adversely
affect execution of such offering or the price to be obtained in such offering.
8. Covenants.
(a) Financial Statements and Other Information. The Company shall deliver to each

Subsidiaries.
(b) Inspection of Property. The Company shall permit any representatives designated
by any Investor, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours and for a proper business
purpose, to (i) visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and
examine the corporate and financial records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, so long as such
Investor and its Permitted Transferees owns any Company Class A Common Stock, and (ii) so long as

either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act with respect to its Company Class A Common
Stock, the Company shall file all material reports required to be filed by it under the Securities
Act and the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder, all to the extent required to enable the Investors to sell shares
of Company Class A Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar
rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(d) Required Approvals of the Xxxxxxxx Investors.
(1) So long as the Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted Transferees in the aggregate own at
least 9% of the Company’s outstanding Company Class A Common Stock, the Company shall not, without
the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Company Class A Common
Stock held by all of the Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Qualified Permitted Transferees (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed):
(i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions upon any shares of its capital

other governing body or (b) the consideration received by the holders of the Company Class A Common
Stock as a result of such transaction consists solely of cash, cash equivalents, shares of capital
stock of the surviving entity which have been registered under the Securities Act in connection
with such transaction and/or shares of capital stock of the surviving entity which have not been
registered under the Securities Act, but which are of a class of securities registered under the
Securities Exchange Act and are entitled to demand, S-3 and piggyback registration rights
substantially similar as those contained in the Registration Agreement (provided that if the
consideration received by the Investors in such transaction consists of cash or cash equivalents
and shares of capital stock issued by any Person engaged in the motion picture exhibition industry
other than the Company, the Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to
receive (at their election) 120% of the cash and cash equivalents such Xxxxxxxx Investors and their

amount of securities such Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted Transferees would have been
entitled to receive on a pro rata basis shall be correspondingly reduced);
(iv) sell all or substantially all of its assets, unless the consideration received by the
holders of the Company Class A Common Stock as a result of such transaction consists solely of

similar as those contained in the Registration Agreement (provided that if the consideration
received by the Investors in such transaction consists of cash or cash equivalents and shares of

Company, the Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to receive (at
their election) 120% of the cash and cash equivalents such Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted
Transferees would have otherwise been entitled to receive on a pro rata basis and the amount of
securities such Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted Transferees would have been entitled to
receive on a pro rata basis shall be correspondingly reduced);
(v) acquire (by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) any company that is not primarily engaged

(vi) amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s bylaws if such
amendment would have an adverse effect on the terms of the Company Class A Common Stock held by the
Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted Transferees which is different from the adverse effect on
the other holders of Company Class A Common Stock;
(vii) issue or sell any shares of capital stock which are senior to the Company Class A Common
Stock with respect to dividends, redemption or distributions in liquidation or which have voting
rights different from the Company Class A Common Stock, unless such securities are issued or sold
at no less than fair market value as determined by the Board in its reasonable judgment and the
Investors and their Permitted Transferees (if such Permitted Transferees are not otherwise
Investors) have the right to participate in such offering under the provisions of Section 6 of this
Agreement;
(viii) enter into, amend or modify any agreement, transaction, commitment or arrangement with

disinterested directors on the Board who are not affiliated with MDCP and except for the issuance
of securities in which the Investors and their Permitted Transferees (if such Permitted Transferees
are not otherwise Investors) have the right to participate under Section 6 of this Agreement; or
(ix) incur, or permit any Subsidiary to incur, any indebtedness for borrowed money (other than
borrowings under, or refinancings or replacements of, the loan facilities of the Company and its
Subsidiaries existing as of the effectiveness of the Merger under the Merger Agreement) which would
cause the Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio to exceed 4.75:1, unless at the time of such incurrence the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries has defaulted under any of its agreements creating indebtedness for
borrowed money.
(2) So long as the Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted Transferees in the aggregate own at
least 4% of the outstanding Company Class A Common Stock (except in the case of clause (i) below,
the required percentage shall be 1%), the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of
the holders of a majority of the shares of Company Class A Common Stock held by the Xxxxxxxx
Investors and their Qualified Permitted Transferees (which consent, shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed):
(i) amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s bylaws if such amendment
would have an adverse effect on the Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted Transferees which is
different from any adverse effect on any other holder of Company Class A Common Stock;
(ii) enter into, amend or modify any agreement, transaction, commitment or arrangement with
MDCP or any of its Affiliates, except for (A) transactions on
21
arm’s length terms and conditions,
(B) the execution, delivery and performance of the other agreements and arrangements specifically
contemplated by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the Quadrangle Purchase Agreement and the Syufy Contribution Agreement), and (c)
the issuance of securities in which the Investors and their Permitted Transferees (if such
Permitted Transferees are not otherwise Investors) have the right to participate under Section 6 of
this Agreement.
(iii) redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any Stockholder Shares held by MDCP or its
respective Affiliates or Permitted Transferees unless at the same time the Company offers to
purchase Stockholder Shares from the Xxxxxxxx Investors and their Permitted Transferees on the same

subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or
representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject

rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties

damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to other rights
and remedies hereunder, the Company and the Stockholders shall be entitled to specific performance
and/or injunctive or other equitable relief (without posting a bond or other security) from any
court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violation of
