As previously reported in our Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2010, a subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMCE") completed the acquisition of 92 theatres and 928 screens from Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC ("Kerasotes") on May 24, 2010. We are filing the information in Exhibits 2.1, 99.1 and 99.2 to provide additional information related to the acquisition of Kerasotes.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 8, 2010, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The following is a brief description of the terms and conditions of the Plan. On the same date, the Board approved the grants of certain awards to certain employees, including its named executive officers.

The purpose of the Plan is to attract, retain and motivate officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company, and its subsidiaries and affiliates and to promote the success of the Company's business by providing the participants with appropriate incentives.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Company available for delivery pursuant to awards granted under the Plan is 39,312 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan), which may be either authorized and unissued shares of the Company's common stock or shares of common stock held in or acquired for the Company's treasury.

Subject to adjustment as provided for in the Plan, (i) the number of shares available for granting incentive stock options under the Plan will not exceed 19,652 shares and (ii) the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant each year is 7,862. To the extent shares subject to an award are not issued or delivered by reason of (i) the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or other termination of an award, (ii) the withholding of such shares in satisfaction of applicable taxes or (iii) the settlement of all or a portion of an award in cash, then such shares will again be available for issuance under the Plan.

Directors, officers and other employees of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as others performing consulting services for the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate will be eligible for grants under the Plan.

The Plan provides for grants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock awards, other stock-based awards or performance-based compensation awards.

Award agreements under the Plan generally have the following features, subject to change by the Compensation Committee:

In consideration for the grants of the awards, the award agreements subject the participants to certain restrictive covenants and confidentiality obligations.

In the event of any corporate event or transaction involving the Company, a subsidiary and/or an affiliate such as a merger, reorganization, capitalization, stock split, spin-off, or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Compensation Committee will, to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants' rights under the Plan, substitute or adjust in its sole discretion the awards.

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof or any award (or award agreement), at any time. In the event any award is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 409A"), the Compensation Committee may amend the Plan and/or any award agreement without the participant's prior consent to exempt the Plan and/or any award from the application of Section 409A, preserve the intended tax treatment of any such award or comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

The foregoing description of the Plan and award agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan and forms of award agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

On the date the Board adopted the Plan, the Board approved the grants of the following awards to the named executive officers of the Company. The awards will be granted under the forms of award agreements, which terms and conditions are described above. All the grants of nonqualified stock options will be at a per share strike price of $752, which per share price is equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock of the Company on the date of grant.

Gerardo I. Lopez, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, will receive 1,048 shares of non-qualified stock options, 1,048 restricted shares (time vesting) and 1,049 restricted shares (performance vesting). Craig R. Ramsey (Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer) and

John D. McDonald (Executive Vice President, U.S. and Canada Operations), each will receive 629 shares of non-qualified stock options, 629 restricted shares (time vesting) and 629 restricted shares (performance vesting). Kevin M. Connor (Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary) and Robert J. Lenihan (President, Film Programming) each will receive 210 shares of non-qualified stock options, 210 restricted shares (time vesting) and 209 restricted shares (performance vesting). Samuel D. Gourley (President, AMC Film Programming) will receive 105 shares of non-qualified stock options, 105 restricted shares (time vesting) and 105 restricted shares (performance vesting).

On July 14, 2010, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") relating to an initial public offering of shares of its common stock. The Registration Statement disclosed non-public material information about AMCE.

AMCE is furnishing the information in this Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.3 to comply with Regulation FD.

Buyer has, and at all times prior to the Closing Date will have, sufficient immediately available U.S. funds to enable Buyer to pay the Closing Date Payment Amount at Closing in accordance with Section 3.2, to permit Buyer to perform in a timely manner all of its obligations under this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions herein.

Section 5.7 No Brokers. Neither Buyer nor Guarantor or any other Person acting on its behalf has paid or become obligated to pay any fee or commission to any broker, finder or intermediary for or on account of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Buyer, Seller and the Company covenant and agree to take the following actions between the date hereof and the Closing Date:

(a) The Company shall afford to the officers, employees and authorized representatives of Buyer (including agents, contractors, independent public accountants and attorneys) reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, to the officers, employees, properties, books, and business, financial and other records of the Company and the Subsidiaries to the extent Buyer reasonably deems necessary or desirable, and shall furnish to Buyer or its authorized representatives such additional information concerning the Company and the Subsidiaries as Buyer or its authorized representatives shall reasonably request, including financial statements, pro forma financial information, financial data, audit reports and other information as may be required to prepare any filings under any applicable federal or state securities laws; provided, however, that: (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be required to disclose to Buyer or any representative of Buyer information the disclosure of which is precluded by any Requirement of Law and, (ii) any information provided to Buyer or any of its representatives pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by Buyer and its representatives in accordance with, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2009, between Buyer and Seller (the "Confidentiality Agreement"). Buyer agrees that such investigation shall be conducted in such a manner as not to

interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries. Buyer and Seller agree that Buyer's right to enter onto and into any Real Property shall be governed by Section 6.1(b).

(b) Without limiting Section 6.1(a), Buyer and its agents and contractors shall have the right, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, to enter onto and into the Real Property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner as agreed to with Seller prior to such entry for the purpose of making such tests and inspections as Buyer deems necessary in connection with this Agreement and as otherwise in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Seller may require, as a condition to any such entry, that any such Person is accompanied by a representative of Seller during such entry and (ii) no such Person shall conduct any test in connection with a Phase II environmental report or any other test that involves drilling, boring or similar intrusive or invasive action on, in or under the Real Property without Seller's prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Seller's sole and absolute discretion. Buyer agrees that such tests and inspections shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and consistent with Seller's obligations under any leases regarding any Leased Real Property. Prior to any entry on any Real Property by Buyer, its agents or contractors pursuant to this Section 6.1(b), Buyer shall provide to Seller evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, demonstrating that Buyer or its agents and contractors, as applicable, have and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance coverage covering any and all Liabilities with respect to or arising out of any work or investigations at the Real Property to be performed by or for Buyer or its agents or contractors as set forth in this Agreement, and thereafter Buyer shall maintain, or shall cause its agents and contractors to maintain, as applicable, such insurance in full force and effect. The policy of insurance shall have limits of not less than $2,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence, shall be issued by a reputable insurance company qualified to do business in the states in which the Real Property is located and shall name Seller as an additional named insured.

Further, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a true, correct and complete copy of any report of the results of any tests, inspections and/or analyses of the Real Property not later than two (2) Business Days after any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any such report not yet received by Buyer as of the date of such termination, Buyer shall deliver the same to Seller within two (2) Business Days after Buyer's receipt thereof.

(c) Without limiting Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b), Buyer and its agents and contractors shall have the right, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, and subject to the conditions described in Section 6.1(b), to enter onto and into the Owned Real Property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner as agreed to with Seller in connection with (i) Buyer's efforts to obtain a policy of title insurance for each parcel of Owned Real Property, in favor of Buyer or its designee in the amount of the fair market value of each parcel of Owned Real Property, (ii) having an ALTA/ACSM "As Built" Survey prepared with respect to each parcel of Owned Real Property, and (iii) obtaining any other information or documents Buyer reasonably requests so that it may comply with the requirements of Buyer's existing credit facility.

(b) Seller may, at any time prior to the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, update or supplement those Schedules to the representations and warranties contained in Article IV of this Agreement (other than those Schedules to the representations and warranties in Section 4.21) (any such updated or supplemented Schedule, an "Updated Schedule") to account for any material variances from the representations and warranties contained in Article IV that arise after the date hereof; provided, that the Schedules shall not be updated or supplemented (i) to correct errors or omissions that were known by the Company or Seller prior to the date of this Agreement, (ii) to account for

developments or matters that relate to or arise out of events that occurred prior to the date of this Agreement or (iii) to account for developments or matters that arise from a violation of any covenant or agreement contained herein.

Section 6.3 Consents of Third Parties; Governmental Approvals. (a) The Company, Seller and Buyer will act diligently and reasonably in attempting to secure, before the Closing Date, each consent, approval or waiver, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other party, required to be obtained from any party (other than a Governmental Body) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Agreement, and Seller will, upon request of Buyer, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek estoppel letters in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer from any lessors of Leased Real Property; provided, however, that neither the Company, Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to expend money, commence or participate in any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third Person in connection with the obligations described in this Section 6.3.

(b) Buyer shall act diligently and reasonably, and Seller and the Company, upon the request of Buyer, shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer, in attempting to secure any consents and approvals of any Governmental Body required to be obtained by Buyer in order to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Agreement.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof (at a date to be agreed by the parties), each of the parties hereto shall file with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice the notifications and other information required to be filed under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party warrants that all such filings by it will be, as of the date filed, true and accurate in all material respects and in material compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act. Each of the parties hereto agrees to file any additional information requested by such agencies under the HSR Act and to make available to the other parties such information relative to its business, assets and property as such other parties may be required to file pursuant to the HSR Act or at the request of such agencies. Each of the parties hereto will provide to the other parties copies of all correspondence between it (or its advisors) and any such agency relating to this Agreement or any of the matters described in this Section 6.3(c); provided that such correspondence may be provided only to outside counsel of the parties if it contains or reveals confidential information of Buyer, Seller, the Company or their respective Affiliates.

(d) The parties agree to promptly notify each other of any oral or written communication they receive from any Governmental Body relating to the matters that are subject of this Agreement, permit each other to review in advance any communication proposed to be made by such party to any Governmental Authority and provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or other communications between them or any of their representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Body of members of its staff, on the other hand; provided that such communications may be provided only to outside counsel of the parties to the extent that they contain or reveal confidential information of Buyer, Seller, the Company or their respective Affiliates. The parties agree not to participate in any meeting, or engage in any substantive conversation, with any Governmental Body in respect of such filings, investigation or other inquiry unless they consult with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting or conversation.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Buyer's undertaking pursuant to Section 6.3(c), Buyer agrees to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Body so as to enable the parties hereto to expeditiously consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement no later than the Outside Date (as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 11.1(e)) including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders or otherwise, the sale, divesture or disposition of such of its (or, following the Closing, the Company's or any Subsidiaries') assets, properties or businesses as may be required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to take any actions that would or would be reasonably expected to result in a Regulatory Material Adverse Effect. In addition, Buyer shall defend through litigation any claim asserted in court by any Person in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing by the Outside Date. Seller and the Company will each use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer in obtaining any such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. Seller shall not, without the Buyer's prior written consent in the Buyer's sole discretion, discuss or commit to any divestiture transaction, or discuss or commit to alter their business or commercial practices in any way, or otherwise discuss, take or commit to take any action that limits the Buyer's freedom of action with respect to, or the Buyer's ability to retain any of the business, product lines or assets of, the Business or otherwise receive the full benefits of this Agreement.

(f) In the event the parties receive a request for information and documentary materials (a "Second Request") following the HSR Act filing, the parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond to such Second Request as promptly as possible.

Section 6.4 Operations Prior to the Closing Date. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 6.4 or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or consented to in writing by Buyer, each of the Seller and the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary to) conduct its business in the ordinary course and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) preserve intact, in all material respects, the current business organization and ongoing operations of Seller, the Company and the Subsidiaries (including the relationships between Seller, the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, executives, and managers, although neither shall be required to pay, or promise to pay, any consideration (other than compensation to which such individuals are currently entitled as directors or employees, subject to any changes in compensation in accordance with existing compensation policies, practices or procedures) as an inducement to continue their employment with Seller, the Company or any Subsidiary); (ii) maintain relations and goodwill with suppliers, customers, landlords, employees, creditors, and movie studios with whom Seller, the Company and the Subsidiaries have relationships; (iii) perform in all material respects its obligations under the Material Contracts; (iv) maintain the properties and assets of Seller, the Company and the Subsidiaries in good repair and condition (excluding normal wear and tear); (v) maintain the insurance policies of Seller, the Company and the Subsidiaries in a manner consistent with past practice; and (vi) pay all Taxes as such Taxes become due and payable consistent with past practice.

Each of Parent, Seller and the Company shall take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, including the Subsidiaries, to take, such action as may be necessary so that, as of the Closing Date, the Affiliate Transactions and the other rights or obligations between the Company or any Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and any Subsidiary), on the other hand, identified on Schedule 6.6 shall be terminated and of no further or continued force or effect.

Buyer shall pay all Expenses incurred in connection with preparing such filing and shall promptly pay or reimburse Seller, the Company and the

Subsidiaries, as applicable, for any reasonably documented expenses incurred thereby in connection with filing such registration. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in the preparation of such filing with respect to the details of such application. For the avoidance of doubt, any failure to file such registration with, or to obtain the approval of such registration from, any applicable Governmental Body, other than any such failure resulting from the failure of Seller, the Company, or any Subsidiary to use its commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.8, shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 6.8.

Section 6.9 Termination of National CineMedia Agreement. Seller shall cause the Network Affiliate Agreement between Seller and National CineMedia LLC, dated August 8, 2007 (the "CineMedia Agreement"), to be transferred and assigned to the Company immediately prior to the Closing, and, immediately following such transfer and assignment, Seller and Buyer recognize that the CineMedia Agreement will terminate effective immediately at the Closing in accordance with the self-operative terms set forth in Section 9.2(d) of the CineMedia Agreement upon acquisition by a "Founding Member."

Section 6.11 Landlord Consents. Each of Parent, Seller and the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice from Buyer, it shall send to the landlords under each of the leases set forth on Schedule 6.11 written consents to the assignment of such leases to the Company in connection with the Contribution, and/or to the change in control of the Company upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as applicable. Such consents shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer. Each of Parent, Seller and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain such consents under such leases as soon as possible following the date hereof; provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 6.11, "reasonable best efforts" shall not include any obligation of any of Parent, Seller or the Company to commence or participate in any litigation or expend any amount of money other than de minimis amounts in connection with requesting such consents. Each of Parent, Seller and the Company shall coordinate with and obtain the prior consent and input from Buyer prior to contacting via mail, telephone or otherwise any such landlord in connection with its obligations under this Section 6.11. In the event that any such landlord proposes to condition the execution by such landlord of any such consent upon any amendment, modification or waiver of any term under such underlying lease, or any other agreement regarding the operation of the business of the Company, any Subsidiary, Buyer, or its Affiliates, Parent, Seller or the Company, as applicable, shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such request, inform Buyer in writing of such request and shall not respond to any such request without first speaking with and obtaining the consent of Buyer as to how to respond to any such request. In the event Parent, Seller, the Company or any Subsidiary receives any notification or information from any such landlord in connection with any such consent to assignment, Seller shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days following receipt thereof, provide written copies of such notifications or information (or written summaries of such notifications or information if provided orally) to Buyer. In no event shall Seller execute, or cause the Company or any Subsidiary to execute, any such consent without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in Buyer's sole discretion.

(c) Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):

(a) Immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer to the Company the employment of all employees of Seller, other than Anthony Kerasotes, Dean Kerasotes, the Retained Theatre Employees and the Retained Seller Employees (such transferred employees, the "Company Employees").

(b) Seller shall determine in its sole discretion and provide to Buyer, in accordance with this Section 7.2(b), a written schedule setting forth the names of designated executive-level Seller employees and exempt, non-executive administrative staff Seller employees, in each case whose employment shall not be transferred by Seller to the Company immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date (the "Retained Seller Employees"). Seller shall provide to Buyer (i) a preliminary schedule of the Retained Seller Employees not later than 45 days after the date of this Agreement, (ii) an updated schedule of the Retained Seller Employees not later than 90 days after the date of this Agreement and (iii) any final modifications to such updated schedule as soon as practicable prior to the Closing, provided that such modifications made pursuant to this clause (iii) shall not increase the number of Retained Seller Employees by more than 10% or change the names of more than 15% of the Company Employees on the schedule provided pursuant to clause (ii). Seller shall identify on such finalized schedule not more than seven executive-level Retained Seller Employees and not more than five exempt, non-executive administrative staff Retained Seller Employees to receive a cash transaction bonus (each, an "Eligible Seller Employee") in an amount equal to the cash severance benefit that would have been payable to such Eligible Seller Employee pursuant to Buyer's severance policy set forth on Schedule 7.2(b) ("Buyer's Severance Policy") if such Eligible Seller Employee was a participant in the Buyer's Severance Policy and was entitled to severance pay due to a termination of employment by Buyer as of the Closing, and for each such Eligible Seller Employee, a true and correct schedule of the number of years of service to be credited for each such Eligible Seller Employee for purposes of calculating the applicable transaction bonus for such Eligible Seller Employee. Buyer shall pay to Seller on the Closing Date an amount equal to the aggregate transaction bonus amount for the Eligible Seller Employees determined under this Section 7.2(b) and Seller shall pay to each Eligible Seller Employee as soon as practicable after the Closing Date the applicable transaction bonus amount determined under this Section 7.2(b) for such Eligible Seller Employee. For purposes of calculating the transaction bonus for each Eligible Seller Employee, such Eligible Seller Employee shall be given credit for all service with Seller, the Company and any Subsidiary (or all service credited by Seller, the Company or a Subsidiary) to the same extent as if rendered to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2(b), but except as provided in any Seller Ancillary Agreement, Seller shall not be prohibited from hiring any Company Employee that is terminated by Buyer following the Closing.

(c) For the six-month period following the Closing Date, Seller agrees to make available to Buyer the services of the Retained Seller Employees, to the extent they are then employed by Seller, to perform transition services to Buyer as Buyer and Seller shall reasonably agree from time to time, provided that such services do not materially interfere with the Retained Seller Employees' obligations to Seller and its Affiliates. In consideration for such transition services provided by a Retained Seller Employee, Buyer agrees to pay Seller an amount equal to the hourly rate of the Retained Seller Employee's base salary paid by Seller, pro-rated for any quarter hour of such service, and shall reimburse Seller for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing such transition services. Seller shall submit monthly invoices in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer for any such transition services performed pursuant to this Section 7.2(c). The reasonably documented transition services fees and out-of-pocket reasonable expenses, if any, incurred for any particular month pursuant to this Section 7.2(c) shall be paid by Buyer no later than 30 days after the date on which Seller sends an invoice to Buyer.

(d) Buyer agrees that each Company Employee who is employed by Buyer, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates on or after the Closing (a "Continuing Employee") shall be provided, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of the termination of such Continuing Employee's employment with such entities or the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Benefits Continuation Period"), with (i) base salary that is not less than the base salary paid by Seller or any Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) other compensation and benefits, including without limitation incentive compensation, vacation, sick leave and paid time off benefits, that are not less favorable to such employee than the compensation and benefits provided by Buyer to similarly situated employees of Buyer (provided that for purposes of determining the amount of incentive compensation under any Buyer plan, no Continuing Employee shall be given credit for periods of service on or prior to the Closing Date). Buyer shall provide severance benefits to each Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated by Buyer at or following the Closing pursuant to and in accordance with Buyer's severance plans and policies that are applicable to similarly situated employees of Buyer, and for purposes of calculating severance benefits for each such Continuing Employee, such Continuing Employee shall be given credit for all service with Seller, the Company and any Subsidiary (or all service credited by Seller, the Company or a Subsidiary) to the same extent as if rendered to Buyer; provided, however, that no such service recognition shall result in any duplication of benefits. For purposes of calculating the amount of the transaction bonuses payable to Eligible Seller Employees pursuant to Section 7.2(b) and for purposes of providing severance benefits to Continuing Employees pursuant to this Section 7.2(d), the Seller employees listed on Schedule 7.2(d) shall be deemed to be eligible for the level of severance benefits provided to "executives" within the meaning of such policy.

(e) Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company and each Subsidiary to, credit to Continuing Employees and honor the amount of accrued but unused vacation and sick leave that such employees had accrued under Seller's paid time off policy as of the Closing Date.

(f) Buyer shall ensure that, for all purposes under any employee benefit plan maintained or assumed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which any Continuing Employee becomes a participant as of or after the Closing Date (other than for purposes of calculating benefits under a defined benefit pension plan or calculating benefits under an incentive compensation plan), such Continuing Employee shall be given credit for all service with Seller, the Company and any Subsidiary (or all service credited by Seller, the Company or a Subsidiary) to the same extent as if rendered to Buyer, provided, however, that no such service recognition shall result in any duplication of benefits. Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company and each Subsidiary to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any welfare or fringe benefit plan in which the Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date, and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit under any welfare plans of Buyer, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates in which such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date for any co-payments and deductibles paid by such Continuing Employee for any out-of-pocket expenditures paid by such Continuing Employee during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs under corresponding welfare plans maintained by Seller or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan maintained by Buyer, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs; provided, however, that in the case of any such plan that is not a self-insured plan, the foregoing treatment shall be subject to any required approval of the applicable insurance provider, which approval Buyer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain.

(g) To the extent that any Continuing Employee participated in the health flexible spending account plan under the Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres, LLC Flexible Spending Plan ("Seller's Health

FSA Plan") during the calendar year that includes the Closing Date, effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer to the corresponding health flexible spending plan of Buyer the account balances and elections of the Continuing Employees for such Plan Year under the Seller's Health FSA Plan, regardless of whether the balance is positive or negative, in accordance with the requirements of Revenue Ruling 2002-32. To the extent that any Continuing Employee participated in Seller's dependent care flexible spending account plan under the Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres, LLC Flexible Spending Plan ("Seller's Dependent Care FSA Plan") during the calendar year that includes the Closing Date, effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer to the corresponding dependent care flexible spending plan of Buyer the account balances of the Continuing Employees for such calendar year under Seller's Dependent Care FSA Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall cause all records relating to the Continuing Employees' participation in the Seller's Health FSA Plan and Seller's Dependent Care FSA Plan to be transferred to Buyer. For avoidance of doubt, Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no Liability under the Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres, LLC Flexible Spending Plan for any calendar year prior to the year in which the Closing Date occurs and shall not assume or have any Liability under the Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres, LLC Flexible Spending Plan following the Closing except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.2(g).

(h) Seller shall pay to each Company Employee who is participating in an annual bonus plan of Seller immediately prior to Closing, a bonus with respect to the portion of the bonus determination period ending on the Closing Date. For avoidance of doubt, Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to pay or provide, or have any Liability for, any bonus to any Company Employee with respect to any performance or bonus determination period ending on a date prior to the Closing Date.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties to this Agreement do not intend for this Agreement to amend any Employee Benefit Plans or arrangements or create any rights or obligations except between the parties to this Agreement. No Company Employee or other current or former employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, including any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any other person not a party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to assert any claim hereunder. For avoidance of doubt, except for any cash transaction bonus obligations paid to Seller with respect to any Eligible Seller Employee pursuant to Section 7.2(b), Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to pay or provide, or have any Liability for, any compensation or benefits to any Retained Seller Employee.

(j) Nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of Buyer, Company or any of the Subsidiaries to continue the employment of any Continuing Employee for any definite period following the Closing Date, and, except as set forth in this Section 7.2, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude Buyer, Company or any of its Subsidiaries from altering, amending, or terminating any employee benefit plan, or the participation of any of their respective employees in such plans, at any time.

Section 7.3 Contact with Employees, Suppliers and Others. Buyer hereby agrees that it is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates to) contact any officer, director, employee, franchisee, supplier, customer, distributor or other material business relation of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing with respect to matters relating to the Company, Seller, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer prior to the Closing, Buyer may make inquiries of and have meetings and discussions with, those Persons having business relationships with Parent, Seller or the Subsidiaries (including those Persons set forth on Schedule 7.3), and Parent and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate, and shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with, such inquires, meetings and discussions.

Each of Seller and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, during such 5-year period after the Closing, it shall not use or disclose such confidential information for any purpose or to any party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall be entitled to use any Retained Assets in connection with the operation of the Retained Theatres or any other theatres owned or operated by Seller in accordance with the Seller Non-Competition Agreement; and (ii) either party may disclose such confidential information to the extent such confidential information is required to be disclosed pursuant to a valid Court Order, in which case, such party shall promptly notify, to the extent possible, the other party, and take all commercially reasonable steps to assist such other party in contesting such Court Order or in protecting such other party's rights prior to disclosure (and in any event, the disclosing party shall only disclose such confidential information to the extent required by such Court Order). Each of Parent and Seller acknowledges and agrees that any violation of (x) the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4 by any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, direct or indirect equity holders or representatives, or the Subsidiaries, or (y) Section 3.1 of any Equity Holder Agreement by any Affiliate or direct or indirect equity holder of Parent or Seller party thereto, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of Parent or Seller or otherwise, shall be deemed a breach of this Section 7.4.

Section 10.3 Notice of Claims. Any party hereto seeking indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the "Indemnitor") a written notice (a "Claim Notice") describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount, or the method of computation of the amount, of such claim and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based.

Section 10.4 Resolution of Indemnifiable Claims. After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant to Section 10.3, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article X shall be determined: (i) by written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree in writing. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Losses and Expenses suffered by it.

Section 10.5 Third Person Claims. (a) Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by a third Person against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Person Claim") shall notify the Indemnitor in writing, and in reasonable detail, of such Third Person Claim within 10 days after the Indemnified Party's receipt of written notice thereof. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnitor, within five Business Days after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Person Claim. Any Claim Notice involving a Third Person Claim shall refer to the provision of this Agreement upon which the claim described in such Claim Notice is based and describe in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for such claim and the amount, if known, of the Liability asserted against the Indemnitor by reason of such claim. The failure to give notice in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnitor shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.5(b), have the sole and absolute right, after the receipt of notice, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to control and defend against, negotiate or otherwise deal with any Proceeding which relates to any Third Person Claim; provided, however, that if the Indemnitor elects to control the Proceeding, such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party may participate in any such Proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its own expense (other than in the case of fees and expenses that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnitor effectively assumes control of such defense), and provided further, that if in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party's counsel, a conflict of interest exists or may arise in the event the Indemnitor elects to control or defend any Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party may, at its sole election, solely control and defend against, negotiate or otherwise deal with any such claim and such fees and expenses will be born by the Indemnitor to the extent such fees and expenses were incurred in connection with defending against those elements of the Proceeding with respect to which such conflict exists. Additionally, to the extent that (i) the Indemnitor elects not to defend such Third Person Claim, or (ii) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Proceeding, the Indemnified Party may defend against, deal with and otherwise control such Third Person Claim using counsel of its choosing, at the expense of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 10.5(b) to pay for only one firm of counsel (and one local or special counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or to the extent reasonably engaged by the Indemnified Party) for all Indemnified Parties. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Person Claim; provided, however, that neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Third Person Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party or the Indemnitor, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or delayed; provided, further, that the Indemnitor may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party if (A) the Indemnitor pays or agrees to pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or compromise, (B) such settlement or compromise would not encumber any of the material assets of any Indemnified Party or impose any restriction or condition that would apply to or materially adversely affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party's business, (C) the Indemnitor obtains, as a condition of such settlement or compromise, a complete release of any Indemnified Party that could reasonably be affected by such Third-Party Claim, and (D) such settlement or compromise does not involve any admission of liability or wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

(c) To the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 10.5 and Section 7.1(b) (relating to Tax contests), the provisions of Section 7.1(b) shall control with respect to Tax contests.

Section 10.6 Determination of Indemnification Amounts. (a) The amount of any and all Losses and Expenses under this Article X shall be determined net of (i) any Tax benefits actually realized by

the Indemnified Party arising from the deductibility of any such Losses and Expenses or otherwise and (ii) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies, indemnities or other reimbursement arrangements with respect to such Losses and Expenses. Each party hereby waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses and Expenses.

(b) Any indemnification payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

(c) If an Indemnified Party recovers from any third Person an amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party has been indemnified pursuant to this Article X, such Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the appropriate Indemnitor the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses actually incurred by the Indemnified Party in procuring such recovery, including insurance premiums paid and insurance deductibles applied), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount paid by the Indemnitor to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnitor in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(d) Each of the parties agrees to take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses and Expenses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which could or could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses and Expenses for which they may be entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that no party hereto or their respective Affiliates shall be required to make any material monetary expenditure, commence or participate in any Proceeding, offer or grant any material accommodation to any Person, or take, or refrain from taking, any action that would or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the business, operations, results or condition (financial or otherwise) of such party or its Affiliates in any material respect in connection with such mitigation.

(e) Neither Parent nor Seller shall be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Group Member with respect to any matter to the extent that such matter was included in the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if any Indemnified Party seeks recovery pursuant to this Article X for Losses constituting a loss of profits or loss of use or revenue, such Indemnified party shall, prior to recovering against any Indemnitor, be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from all policies of insurance, including business disruption or similar policies, that are then-maintained by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (in the case of Affiliate insurance policies, only to the extent such policies are applicable to Losses suffered by such Indemnified Party), and pursuant to all rights of indemnification against third party landlords that such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, as applicable, may have under applicable lease agreements with respect to such Losses; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the terms of this Section 10.6(f) be deemed to require any Person to obtain any new or maintain any existing insurance policies, (ii) any Losses or Expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with its efforts to seek recovery against such third parties shall be Losses subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article X, and (iii) any amounts not covered by applicable insurance policies or any other contract or agreement (whether in the form of deductibles, amounts in excess of applicable caps, or otherwise), and any increase in rent, insurance premiums, or other Losses or Expenses of any kind resulting from such Indemnified Party's efforts to seek recovery against such third parties shall be Losses subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article X. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of this Section 10.6, the term "Affiliate" shall not include any investment fund (or any officer, director, employee, equity holder, or general or limited partner thereof, or any portfolio company owned, in whole or in part, thereby (other than AMC Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation) that, directly or indirectly, owns any equity securities of Guarantor.

Section 10.7 Escrow Fund. From and after the Closing, any indemnification obligations of Seller or Parent shall be paid first, from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement; second, after the entire Escrow Fund has been paid to a Buyer Group Member or released and returned to Seller pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, directly by Seller or Parent (provided that Providence shall pay directly its Pro Rata Share of Seller's and Parent's indemnification obligations pursuant to Providence's Equity Holder Agreement); provided, that upon or after the occurrence of any of (a) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Seller or Parent, (b) the transfer of more than 25% in value (based on book value calculated as of the Closing) of the assets of Seller or Parent to any third party (unless such third party agrees in writing to assume its pro rata share, based on the book value of the transferred assets calculated as of the Closing, of the obligations of Seller and Parent under this Article X (for which Parent and Seller shall remain fully liable), or (c) the failure of Seller or Parent to pay any amounts required to be paid thereby pursuant to this Agreement within 30 days of such amount becoming due and payable by the Seller or Parent, then any indemnification obligations of Seller and Parent not paid to a Buyer Group Member pursuant to this Section 10.7 shall be paid (to the extent of Seller's Pro Rata Share) by each Seller Guarantor (other than Providence Equity Partners IV, L.P. and Providence Equity Operating Partners IV, L.P.) in accordance with such Seller Guarantor's Equity Holder Agreement.

Section 10.8 Exclusive Remedy. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its sole and exclusive monetary remedy against the other party or any Affiliates of the other party with respect to any and all claims relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than for a claim of knowing fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.8 shall be deemed to limit the rights of Parent and Seller under Section 11.3(b) or the rights of Buyer under Section 11.3(d) hereof.

Section 11.1 Termination. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(b) by Buyer, if there has been a breach by Parent, Seller, or the Company of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or any breach by any direct or indirect equity holder of Parent of any covenant or agreement contained in any Equity Holder Agreement to which such equity holder is a party that is to be performed prior to the Closing, in each case that would or would reasonably be expected to give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII and Parent, Seller or the Company, as applicable, fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof (except no cure period shall be provided for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured); provided, that neither Buyer nor Guarantor is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein;

(c) by Seller, if there has been a breach by Buyer or Guarantor of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which would or would reasonably be expected to give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article IX and Buyer or Guarantor, as applicable, fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof (except no cure period shall be provided for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured); provided, that neither Parent, Seller nor the Company is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein;

(d) by Buyer or Seller if any final and non-appealable Court Order shall have been issued permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; or

(e) by Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 7, 2010, or such later date as may be mutually agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller (the "Outside Date"); provided, that, in the event that all conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied (other than the condition set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.3 and those conditions in Article VIII that, by their terms, may only be satisfied as of the Closing) on or prior to such date, the Outside Date shall, automatically and without further notice or other action by the parties hereto, be extended to December 9, 2010; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(e) shall not be available to any party who is in material breach of this Agreement as of the date of such proposed termination.

Section 11.2 Notice of Termination. Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 shall give written notice of such termination, which notice shall specify the Section of this Agreement pursuant to which it is being terminated, to the other party to this Agreement.

(a) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to this Article XI, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement (other than the obligations described in the last sentence of Section 6.1(b), Section 7.4, Section 10.2(a)(iii), this Section 11.3, and Article XII, each of which shall survive any such termination) shall be terminated without further Liability of any party to the other; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from Liability for fraud, intentional misconduct or willful and wanton breach of this Agreement.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(d) or 11.1(e) and, in each case, at the time of such termination, (i) the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than (A) the conditions set forth in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 (but only to the extent the Court Order is issued or brought, or the approvals required to be obtained, are under applicable Antitrust Laws), (B) the delivery of certificates which (in light of the underlying facts as of the time of such termination and any waiver of the condition set forth in Section 9.1(a) deemed made pursuant to Section 11.1(e)) would be capable of being delivered but are to be delivered on the Closing Date and (C) such other conditions the failure of which to be satisfied by such date has been principally caused by a material breach by Buyer or Guarantor of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or the facts or circumstances underlying such breach), have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law) waived, (ii) Buyer does not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(b), and (iii) neither Buyer nor Seller has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(d) for any reason other than that consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any Antitrust Law (or would have the right to so terminate assuming that the relevant Court Order referenced in Section 11.1(d) has become final and non-appealable at the time of such termination), then Buyer or Guarantor shall pay Seller a fee equal to $5,500,000 (the "Non-Clearance Termination Fee") by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the third Business Day following the date of such termination of this Agreement.

(c) Buyer and the Guarantor each acknowledges that the provisions contained in Section 11.3(b) constitute an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither Parent nor Seller would have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Buyer or the Guarantor fails to promptly pay the Non-Clearance Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.3(b), and, in order to obtain such payment Parent, Seller or the Company, as the case may be, commences a suit which results in a judgment against Buyer or the Guarantor, as applicable, for any of the amounts set forth in Section 11.3(b), then Buyer or the Guarantor shall pay to the Company its Expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Non-Clearance Termination Fee

at the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in effect on the date plus 2% per annum from the date such amount was required to be paid until the date actually received by the Company.

(d) Each of Parent, Seller, the Company, Buyer and Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any breach or failure to perform any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Buyer Ancillary Agreement or Seller Ancillary Agreement in accordance with their specific terms would result in immediate and irreparable harm or injury for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each of Parent, Seller, the Company, Buyer and Guarantor agrees that, unless and until this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, each party shall be entitled, for any violation or threatened violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any Buyer Ancillary Agreement or Seller Ancillary Agreement, an injunction or injunctions to restrain such violation or threatened violation and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of thereof without the necessity of posting a bond or other form of security. In the event that any action should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or any Buyer Ancillary Agreement or Seller Ancillary Agreement, no party hereto or any of their respective Affiliates, will allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 12.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall, in each case, survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as follows:

(d) The indemnification provided for Section 10.1(a)(iii), Section 10.1(a)(iv), and Section 10.2(a)(iii) shall survive indefinitely.

Section 12.2 No Public Announcement. None of Buyer, Seller or the Company shall, without the approval of the others (including with respect to both timing and content), make or permit any of their respective Affiliates to make any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by Requirements of Law, in which case the other parties shall be advised and shall use

their reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement or to comply with the accounting and the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure obligations or the rules of any stock exchange.

Section 12.3 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered when delivered personally or when actually received when sent by registered or certified mail or by private courier addressed as follows:

or to such other address as such party may indicate by a notice delivered to the other party hereto.

Section 12.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no party to this Agreement may assign its rights prior to the Closing or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement. Following the Closing, any party may assign any of its rights hereunder, but no such assignment shall relieve it of its obligations hereunder.

Section 12.5 Access to Records after Closing. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Seller and its representatives, on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates on the other hand, shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries in the possession of the other party (including those books and records of the Company primarily related to the Retained Assets and the Retained Liabilities to the extent such retained books and records relate to any of the theatres, properties, assets or Liabilities transferred to Buyer at Closing) to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, including in connection with any Proceeding before any Governmental Body or with respect to Taxes, in each case to the extent related to the operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 12.5. If Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer or the Company on the other hand, shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such 6-year period, such party shall, prior to such disposition, give the other party a reasonable opportunity, at such other party's expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as such other party may select.

Section 12.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein, the documents delivered pursuant hereto (including the Seller Ancillary Agreements and Buyer Ancillary Agreements) and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all other prior representations, warranties, agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by Buyer, the Company and Seller.

Section 12.7 Interpretation. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule hereto referenced by a particular section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other section in this Agreement to which such fact's or item's relevance is reasonably apparent. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, (i) neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto shall be deemed to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement; (ii) except for those items specified in Section 6.4(b) or included in any schedule related to Section 6.4, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 6.2, Seller and the Company may, from time to time prior to the Closing, deliver written Updated Schedules to Buyer. No such Updated Schedule shall be evidence, in and of itself, that the representations and warranties in the corresponding section are no longer true and correct in all material respects. No such Updated

Schedules shall be deemed to cure any breach that exists as of the date hereof for purposes of Section 8.1. If, however, the Closing occurs, any such Updated Schedules will be effective to cure and correct for purposes of Article X, any breach of any representation or warranty which would have existed if Seller or the Company had not delivered such Updated Schedules, and all references to any Schedule which is supplemented or amended as provided in Section 6.2 shall for purposes after the Closing be deemed to be a reference to such Schedule as so supplemented or amended by such Updated Schedule.

Section 12.8 Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Section 12.9 Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and independent public accountants; provided, however, that all Transaction Costs shall be the responsibility of Buyer to the extent included in Closing Date Working Capital. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Transaction Costs are either not paid prior to Closing or not reflected in the Closing Date Working Capital, any and all such Transaction Costs shall be payable solely by Seller and none of Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary shall have any Liability therefor.

Section 12.10 Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

Section 12.11 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to Seller, the Company and Buyer.

(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Requirements of Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including: (i) the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such party; and (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments, and the taking of such other actions as may reasonably be requested in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto or their respective Affiliates shall be required to make any material monetary expenditure, commence or participate in any Proceeding before any Government Body or offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Person in connection with the obligations described in this Section 12.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (and to the extent) of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Section 12.12 and the terms and

conditions of any other Section of this Agreement, including Section 6.3, the terms and conditions of such other Section shall control.

(b) Following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including its direct and indirect equity holders) to (i) provide to the Buyer and its advisors and representatives, upon reasonable advance notice and without undue interruption to Seller's business, access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Company pertaining to the operation of the Company's business, properties and personnel prior to the Closing (to the extent retained by Seller) and (ii) assist and cooperate with the Buyer, its auditors, and, if different from Buyer's auditors, the auditors of the Financial Statements, to the extent reasonably requested by the Buyer or such auditors (including, without limitation, by providing customary documentation, including representation letters, to the Buyer or such auditors), in each case, in connection with (a) the preparation of the financial statements of the Buyer and its Affiliates, (b) the use and disclosure of the Financial Statements, any other financial information of the Company and the Subsidiaries relating to the period prior to Closing, and of any successor financial statements and other information derived therefrom, in connection with any Filings, (c) the Buyer obtaining customary comfort letters from its auditors or, if different, the auditors of the Financial Statements in connection with any Filings, (d) the Buyer obtaining such auditor's consent to use their audit reports and comfort letters in connection with any Filings and (e) conforming the Financial Statements for use in any Filings; provided that the Buyer will reimburse Seller for any and all of its expenses reasonably incurred by it and its Affiliates and representatives in connection with providing such cooperation; provided further that none of Parent, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty with respect to any information provided pursuant to this Section 12.12 except as specifically set forth in Article IV hereof. "Filings" means, with respect to the Buyer and/or its Affiliates, any (i) issuance of securities in transactions registered under the Securities Act, or in transactions exempt from the registration requirements thereunder, (ii) filings with, or reporting obligations under, the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or similar filings or reporting obligations in other relevant jurisdictions or under Requirements of Law), and (iii) the provision of information to investors and Governmental Bodies in connection with such securities.

Section 12.13 Disclaimer of Warranties. Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of Seller, the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer has relied on the results of its own independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties of Parent and Seller expressly and specifically set forth in Article IV, as qualified by the Schedules and Updated Schedules.

3.1 Authority of the Committee. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have full power to interpret and administer this Plan and Award Agreements and full authority to select the Participants to whom Awards will be granted, to determine the type and amount of Awards to be granted to each such Participant and the terms and conditions of Awards and Award Agreements, and to make such Award grants to such Participants and enter into the related Award Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, but subject to the limitations in Article 11, Section 6.6, and Section 10.6 hereof, clarify, construe or resolve any ambiguity in any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement, extend the term or period of exercisability of any Awards, or waive any terms or conditions applicable to any Award. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made under this Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or a company acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines. The Committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary power to adopt rules, forms, instruments, and guidelines for administering this Plan as the Committee deems necessary or proper. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, the Board, or any other committee or sub-committee established by the Board, is hereby authorized (in addition to any necessary action by the Committee) to grant or approve Awards as necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and to act in lieu of the Committee with respect to Awards made to Non-Employee Directors under this Plan. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee or by the Board (or any other committee or sub-committee thereof), as applicable, shall be final and binding upon the Participants, the Company, and all other interested individuals.

3.2 Delegation. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members, one or more officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and one or more agents or advisors such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable; provided, that, the Committee shall not delegate to officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates the power to make grants of Awards to officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided, further, that, no delegation shall be permitted under this Plan that is prohibited by applicable law.

4.1 Eligibility. Participants will consist of such Employees, Directors and Consultants as the Committee in its sole discretion determines and whom the Committee may designate from time to time to receive Awards. Designation of a Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person to receive an Award in any other year or, once designated, to receive the same type or amount of Award as granted to the Participant in any other year.

4.2 Type of Awards. Awards under this Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of: (a) Options, (b) Stock Appreciation Rights, (c) Restricted Stock, (d) Other Stock-Based Awards, and (e) Performance-Based Compensation Awards. This Plan sets forth the performance goals and procedural requirements to permit the Company to design Awards that qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, as described in Article 10 hereof. Awards granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements (which need not be identical) that provide additional terms and conditions associated with such Awards, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Plan and any such Award Agreement, the provisions of this Plan shall prevail.

6.1 Grant of Options. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to Participants. Each Option shall permit a Participant to purchase from the Company a stated number of Shares at an Option Price established by the Committee, subject to the terms and conditions described in this Article 6 and to such additional terms and conditions, as established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, that are consistent with the provisions of this Plan. Options shall be designated as either Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options, provided that Options granted to Directors shall be Nonqualified Stock Options. An Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option shall, to the extent it fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. Neither the Committee nor the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be liable to any

Participant or to any other Person if it is determined that an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements which shall state the number of Shares covered by such Option. Such Award Agreements shall conform to the requirements of this Plan, and may contain such other provisions, as the Committee shall deem advisable.

6.2 Terms of Option Grant. The Option Price shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. In the case of any Incentive Stock Option, the Option Price shall be (a) if granted to a person other than a Ten Percent Shareholder, not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant or (b) if granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.

6.3 Option Term. The term of each Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and shall be stated in the Award Agreement, but in no event shall such term be greater than ten years (or, in the case on an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, five years).

6.4 Time of Exercise. Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which terms and restrictions need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant.

6.5 Method of Exercise. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or in an Award Agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to time any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of this Article 6, the exercise date of an Option shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received by the corporate secretary of the Company and, if applicable, the date full payment is received by the Company pursuant to clauses: (a), (b), (c) (d), or (e) in the following sentence (including the applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 14.3 hereof). The aggregate Option Price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company at the election of the Participant (a) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by cashier's check), (b) to the extent permitted by the Committee, in Shares (whether or not previously owned by the Participant) having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, (c) partly in cash and, to the extent permitted by the Committee, partly in such Shares (as described in (b) above), (d) to the extent permitted by the Committee, by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option by the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Option Price, or (e) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, subject to such requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased. The Committee may prescribe any other method of payment that it determines to be consistent with applicable law and the purpose of this Plan. In addition, the Participant must deliver to the corporate secretary any representations and documents as the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act, Exchange Act and any other federal or states securities laws or regulations. The Committee (or the Board in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) may, in its sole discretion, also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance including, without limitation, placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop-transfer orders to transfer agents and registrars.

6.6 Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or of a "parent corporation" or "subsidiary corporation" (as such terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code) at the date of grant. To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value

(generally determined as of the time the Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under all plans of the Company and of any "parent corporation" or "subsidiary corporation" exceeds $100,000, the amount in excess of $100,000 (and the portion of any Option relating thereto) shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account generally in the order in which they are granted. Each provision of this Plan and each Award Agreement relating to an Incentive Stock Option shall be construed so that each Incentive Stock Option shall be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code, and any provisions of the Award Agreement thereof that cannot be so construed shall be disregarded.

7.1 Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that shall conform to the requirements of this Plan and may contain such other provisions, as the Committee shall deem advisable. Subject to the terms of this Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, a Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares on the date of exercise over (b) the Fair Market Value of such specified number of Shares on the date of the grant. Such payment may be in the form of cash, Shares, other property or any combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.

7.2 Terms of Stock Appreciation Right. Subject to the terms of this Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the grant price (which shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant), term, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee. The Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate. No Stock Appreciation Right shall have a term of more than ten years from the date of grant.

8.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant and otherwise issue Restricted Stock to Participants. An Award of Restricted Stock is a grant by the Committee of a specified number of Shares to the Participant, which Shares are subject to forfeiture upon the occurrence of specified events. Participants shall be awarded Restricted Stock in exchange for consideration not less than the minimum consideration required by applicable law. Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall conform to the requirements of this Plan and may contain such other provisions, as the Committee shall deem advisable.

8.2 Terms of Restricted Stock Awards. Each Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock grant shall specify Restriction Period(s), the number of Shares of Restricted Stock subject to the Award, the performance, employment or other conditions (including the termination of a Participant's service whether due to death, disability or other reason) under which the Restricted Stock may be forfeited to the Company and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine. Any Restricted Stock granted under this Plan shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates (in which case, the certificate(s) representing such Shares shall be legended as to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrances during the Restriction Period and deposited by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company, to be held in escrow during the Restriction Period). At the end of the Restriction Period, the restrictions imposed hereunder and under the Award Agreement shall lapse with respect to the number of Shares of Restricted Stock as determined by the Committee, and the legend shall be removed and such number of Shares delivered to the Participant (or, where appropriate, the Participant's legal representative).

8.3 Voting and Dividend Rights. The Committee shall determine and set forth in a Participant's Award Agreement whether or not a Participant holding Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall have the right to exercise voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period (the Committee may require a Participant to grant an irrevocable proxy and power of substitution) and/or have the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period (and, if so, on what terms).

8.4 Performance Goals. The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock or the expiration of the Restriction Period upon the Participant's achievement of one or more performance goal(s) specified in the Award Agreement. If the Participant fails to achieve the specified performance goal(s), the Committee shall not grant the Restricted Stock to such Participant or the Participant shall forfeit the Award of Restricted Stock to the Company, as applicable.

8.5 Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code concerning Restricted Stock, the Participant shall be required to file promptly a copy of such election with the Company.

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Awards of Shares and Awards that are valued, in whole or in part, by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of Shares (the "Other Stock-Based Awards"), including without limitation, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, and other phantom awards. Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall conform to the requirements of this Plan. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made, the number of Shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards, whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, and all other terms and conditions of such Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable).

10.1 Grant of Performance-Based Compensation Awards. To the extent permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee is authorized to design any Award so that the amounts or Shares payable or distributed pursuant to such Award are treated as "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and related regulations.

10.2 Performance Measures. The vesting, crediting and/or payment of Performance-Based Compensation shall be based on the achievement of objective performance goals based on one or more of the following Performance Measures: (a) sales or revenue; (b) earnings per share; (c) measurable achievement in quality, operation and compliance initiatives; (d) objectively determinable measure of non-financial operating and management performance objectives (including, but not limited to, employee engagement); (e) net earnings (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (f) economic value-added (as determined by the Committee); (g) net income (either before or after taxes); (h) operating earnings; (i) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow); (j) cash flow return on capital; (k) return on net assets; (l) return on stockholders' equity; (m) return on assets; (n) return on capital; (o) stockholder returns, dividends and/or other distributions; (p) return on sales; (q) gross or net profit margin; (r) productivity; (s) expenses; (t) margins; (u) operating efficiency; (v) customer satisfaction; (w) measurable achievement in quality and compliance

initiatives; (x) working capital; (y) debt; (z) debt reduction; (aa) price per share of stock; (bb) market share; (cc) completion of acquisitions; (dd) business expansion; (ee) product diversification; and (ff) new or expanded market penetration. The foregoing criteria shall have any reasonable definitions that the Committee may specify, which may include or exclude any or all of the following items, as the Committee may specify: (pp) extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items; (qq) effects of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results; (rr) effects of currency fluctuations; (ss) effects of financing activities (e.g., effect on earnings per share of issuing convertible debt securities); (tt) expenses for restructuring, productivity initiatives or new business initiatives; (uu) impairment of tangible or intangible assets; (vv) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (ww) non-operating items; (xx) acquisition expenses; (yy) discontinued operations; and (zz) effects of assets sales or divestitures. Any Performance Measure may be used to measure the performance of the Company and/or any of the Subsidiaries or Affiliates as a whole, any business unit thereof or any combination thereof against any goal including past performance or compared to the performance of a group of comparable companies, or a published or special index, in each case that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

10.3 Establishment of Performance Goals for Covered Employees. No later than 90 days after the commencement of a Performance Period (but in no event after 25% of such Performance Period has elapsed), the Committee shall establish in writing: (a) the performance goals applicable to the Performance Period; (b) the targets to be used to measure the performance goals in terms of an objective formula or standard; (c) the formula for computing the amount of compensation payable to the Participant if such performance goals are obtained; and (d) the Participants or class of Participants to which such performance goals apply. The outcome of such performance goals must be substantially uncertain when the Committee establishes the goals.

10.4 Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation. Awards that are designed to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be adjusted upward. The Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determines.

10.5 Approval of Performance-Based Compensation. The vesting and settlement of Performance-Based Compensation Awards shall be contingent upon the approval of this Plan by a majority of the stockholders of the Company, including the applicable Performance Measures relating thereto. To the extent necessary for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, this Plan shall be resubmitted to stockholders for their reapproval with respect to bonuses payable for the taxable years of the Company commencing on and after the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the initial stockholder approval, or at such earlier time required by Section 162(m) of the Code.

10.6 Certification of Performance. Except for Awards that pay compensation attributable solely to an increase in the value of Shares, no Award designed to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be vested, credited or paid, as applicable, with respect to any Participant until the Committee certifies in writing that the performance goals and any other material terms applicable to such Performance Period have been satisfied.

10.7 Terms of Performance-Based Compensation Awards. Each provision of this Plan and each Award Agreement relating to Performance-Based Compensation shall be construed so that each such Award shall be "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and related regulations, and any provisions of the Award Agreement thereof that cannot be so construed shall be disregarded.

11.1 General. The Company intends that all Awards be structured in compliance with, or to satisfy an exemption from, Section 409A of the Code and all regulations, guidance, compliance

programs and other interpretative authority thereunder ("Section 409A"), such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A as a result of the payments. Notwithstanding the Company's intention, in the event any Award is subject to Section 409A, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and without a Participant's prior consent, amend this Plan and/or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and actions with retroactive effect) as are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt this Plan and/or any Award from the application of Section 409A, (b) preserve the intended tax treatment of any such Award, or (c) comply with the requirements of Section 409A, including without limitation any such regulations guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after the date of the grant.

11.2 Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) that are otherwise required to be made under this Plan to a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A) as a result of his or her separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A) shall be delayed for the first six months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, until the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day that immediately follows the end of such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. Any remaining payments of nonqualified deferred compensation shall be paid without delay and at the time or times such payments are scheduled to be made.

11.3 Separation from Service. A termination of service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A upon or following a termination of service, unless such termination is also a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A and the payment thereof prior to a "separation from service" would violate Section 409A. For purposes of any such provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a "termination," "termination of employment," "termination of service," or like terms shall mean "separation from service."

12.1 Adjustments in Authorized Shares. In the event of any corporate event or transaction involving the Company, a Subsidiary and/or an Affiliate (including, but not limited to, a change in the Shares of the Company or the capitalization of the Company) such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of Shares, exchange of Shares, dividend in kind, amalgamation, or other like change in capital structure (other than normal cash dividends to stockholders of the Company), or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Committee, to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants' rights under this Plan, shall substitute or adjust, , as applicable, the number and kind of Shares or other property that may be issued under this Plan or under particular forms of Awards, the number and kind of Shares or other property subject to outstanding Awards, the Option Price, grant price or purchase price applicable to outstanding Awards, the Annual Award Limits, and/or other value determinations applicable to this Plan or outstanding Awards; provided that the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the methodology or manner of making such substitution or adjustment. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may also make appropriate adjustments in the terms of any Awards under this Plan to reflect such changes or distributions and may modify any other terms of outstanding Awards, including modifications of performance goals and changes in the length of Performance Periods.

12.2 Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control after the Effective Date, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws or by the rules and regulations of any

governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges, or unless the Committee shall determine otherwise in the Award Agreement, the Committee is authorized (but not obligated) to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of outstanding Awards, including without limitation the following (or any combination thereof): (a) continuation or assumption of such outstanding Awards under this Plan by the Company (if it is the surviving company or corporation) or by the surviving company or corporation or its parent; (b) substitution by the surviving company or corporation or its parent of awards with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Awards (excluding the consideration payable upon settlement of the Awards); (c) accelerated exercisability, vesting and/or lapse of restrictions under outstanding Awards immediately prior to the occurrence of such event; (d) upon written notice, provide that any outstanding Awards must be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, during a reasonable period of time immediately prior to the scheduled consummation of the event, or such other period as determined by the Committee (contingent upon the consummation of the event), and at the end of such period, such Awards shall terminate to the extent not so exercised within the relevant period; and (e) cancellation of all or any portion of outstanding Awards for fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and which may be zero) which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or similar Awards, may equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration to be paid in the Change of Control transaction to holders of the same number of Shares subject to such Awards (or, if no such consideration is paid, Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such outstanding Awards or portion thereof being canceled) over the aggregate Option Price or grant price, as applicable, with respect to such Awards or portion thereof being canceled.

13.1 Duration of Plan. Unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, this Plan shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

13.2 Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination of Plan. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan or any portion thereof or any Award (or Award Agreement) hereunder at any time, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may in its sole discretion amend the terms of outstanding Awards to reduce the Option Price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an Option Price that is less than the Option Price of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, and may take such any such action without stockholder approval.

14.1 No Right to Service or Award. The granting of an Award under this Plan shall impose no obligation on the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate to continue the service of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate may have to terminate the service of such Participant. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee's determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).

14.2 Settlement of Awards; Fractional Shares. Each Award Agreement shall establish the form in which the Award shall be settled. The Committee shall determine whether cash, Awards, other securities or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be issued, rounded, forfeited, or otherwise eliminated.

14.3 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any amount deliverable under the Award or otherwise, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. With respect to required withholding, Participants may elect (subject to the Company's automatic withholding right set out above), subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction.

14.4 No Guarantees Regarding Tax Treatment. Participants (or their beneficiaries) shall be responsible for all taxes with respect to any Awards under this Plan. The Committee and the Company make no guarantees to any Person regarding the tax treatment of Awards or payments made under this Plan. Neither the Committee nor the Company has any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any tax on any Person with respect to any Award under Section 409A of the Code or Section 457A of the Code or otherwise and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of their employees or representatives shall have any liability to a Participant with respect thereto.

14.5 Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an Award shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant except in the event of his death (subject to the applicable laws of descent and distribution) and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. No transfer shall be permitted for value or consideration. An award exercisable after the death of a Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the Participant. Any permitted transfer of the Awards to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall not be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof.

14.6 Conditions and Restrictions on Shares. The Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Shares received in connection with an Award as it may deem advisable or desirable. These restrictions may include, but shall not be limited to, a requirement that the Participant hold the Shares received for a specified period of time or a requirement that a Participant represent and warrant in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Shares for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares. The certificates for Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any conditions and restrictions applicable to such Shares.

14.7 Awards to Non-U.S. Employees or Directors. To comply with the laws in countries other than the United States in which the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate operates or has Employees, Directors or Consultants, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (a) determine which Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be covered by this Plan; (b) determine which Employees, Directors or Consultants outside the United States are eligible to participate in this Plan; (c) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Employees, Directors or Consultants outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (d) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local government regulatory exemptions or approvals; and (e) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable.

14.8 Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares.

14.9 Severability. If any provision of this Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify this Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award, and the remainder of this Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

14.10 Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts. This Plan is not subject to the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time.

14.11 No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company's right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets, or (b) limit the right or power of the Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

14.12 Successors. All obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

14.13 Governing Law. This Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

14.14 Effective Date. This Plan shall be effective as of the date of adoption by the Board, which date is set forth below (the "Effective Date").

14.15 Stockholder Approval. This Plan will be submitted for approval by the stockholders of the Company at an annual meeting or any special meeting of stockholders of the Company within 12 months of the Effective Date. Any Awards granted under this Plan prior to such approval of stockholders shall be effective as of the date of grant, but no such Award may be exercised or settled and no restrictions relating to any Award may lapse prior to such stockholder approval, and if stockholders fail to approve this Plan as specified hereunder, this Plan and any Award shall be terminated and cancelled without consideration.

This Plan was duly adopted and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on the 8th day of July, 2010.

2010 Equity Incentive Plan

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT (the "Award Agreement") is made effective as of the [ ] day of [ ], 2010 (the "Date of Grant"), between AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and [grantee] (the "Participant"):

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Award Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the option provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of the Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the right and option (the "Option") to purchase, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all or any part of an aggregate of [ ] Shares. The Option is intended to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

2. Option Price. The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Option shall be $[ ] per Share (the "Option Price").

3. Option Term. The term of the Option shall be ten (10) years, commencing on the Date of Grant (the "Option Term"). The Option shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of the Option Term, or at such earlier time specified herein or in the Plan.

4. Vesting of the Option. Subject to the Participant's continued service to the Company through the applicable vesting date, the Option shall vest in equal installments on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Date of Grant, such that twenty five percent (25%) of the Option vests on each such anniversary. At any time, the portion of the Option which has become vested in accordance with the terms hereof shall be called the "Vested Portion".

5. Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding Section 4 hereof, if within the one (1) year period following a Change of Control, the Participant's service is terminated by the Company or any Affiliate without Cause, the Option shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination of service.

8. Restrictive Covenants. In consideration for the grant of the Option hereunder, the Participant agrees to comply with the covenants set forth in this Section 8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a party to an employment agreement or other agreement with the Company or any Affiliate and such agreement contains restrictive covenants, the restrictive covenants in such agreement will control for purposes of this Award Agreement; provided that in the event the restrictive covenants of the aforementioned agreement do not contain all the restrictions described in this Award Agreement, then the additional restrictions in the Award Agreement shall apply to the Participant in addition to the restrictions described in the aforementioned agreement.

9. Adjustment of Shares. In the event of any corporate event or transaction (as described in Section 12.1 of the Plan), the terms of this Award Agreement (including, without limitation, the number and kind of Shares subject to this Award Agreement and the Option Price) shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 12.1 of the Plan.

"Cause" shall mean, (i) a material breach by the Participant of any of the Participant's obligations under any written agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a material violation by the Participant of any of the Company's policies, procedures, rules and regulations applicable to employees generally or to similarly situated employees, in each case, as they may be amended from time to time in the Company's sole discretion; (iii) the failure by the Participant to reasonably and substantially perform his or her duties to the Company or its Affiliates (other than as a result of physical or mental illness or injury) or the failure by the Participant to comply with reasonable directives of the Board; (iv) the Participant's willful misconduct (including abuse of controlled substances) or gross negligence that is injurious to the Company, its Affiliates or any of their customers, clients or employees; (v) the Participant's fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds or beach of fiduciary duty against the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any predecessor thereto or successor thereof); or (vi) the commission by the Participant of a felony or other serious crime involving moral turpitude. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a party to an employment agreement with the Company or any Affiliate at the time of his or her termination of employment and such employment agreement contains a different definition of "cause" (or any derivation thereof), the definition in such employment agreement will control for purposes of this Award Agreement.

"Disability" shall mean a physical or mental impairment which, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Committee, renders the Participant unable to perform the essential functions of his or her employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate, even with reasonable accommodation that does not impose an undue hardship on the Company or any Affiliate, for a period of at least 180 consecutive days (or 180 days during any twelve (12) month period) unless a longer period is required by federal or state law, in which case that longer period would apply.

"Retirement" shall mean retirement from employment or service as a Director with the Company or any Affiliate, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

11. No Right to Continued Service. The granting of the Option evidenced hereby and this Award Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the Service of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate the service of such Participant.

12. Securities Laws/Legend on Certificates. The issuance and delivery of Shares shall comply (or be exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company's securities may then be traded. The Company shall not be obligated to file any registration statement under any applicable securities laws to permit the purchase or issuance of any Shares under the Plan or Awards, and accordingly any certificates for Shares or documents granting Awards may have an appropriate legend or statement of applicable restrictions endorsed thereon. If the Company deems it necessary to ensure that the issuance of Shares under the Plan is not required to be registered under any applicable securities laws, each Participant to whom such Shares would be issued shall deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company may reasonably request which satisfies such requirements.

13. Transferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the Option may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided, that, the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of the Option to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof. During the Participant's lifetime, the Option is exercisable only by the Participant.

14. Withholding. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless and until the Person exercising this Option shall have remitted to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax requirements, or shall have made other arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to such taxes. The Participant may elect that all or any part of such withholding requirement be satisfied by retention by the Company of a portion of the Shares purchased upon exercise of this Option. If such election is made, the Shares so retained shall be credited against such withholding requirement at the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. In no event, however, shall the Company accept Shares for payment of taxes in excess of required tax withholding rates.

15. Notices. Any notification required by the terms of this Award Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or within three (3) days of deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid. A notice shall be addressed to the Company, Attention: General Counsel, at its principal executive office and to the Participant at the address that he or she most recently provided to the Company.

16. Entire Agreement. This Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof.

17. Waiver. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Award Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition whether of like or different nature.

18. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Award Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon the Participant, the Participant's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participant's estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Award Agreement and have agreed in writing to be joined herein and be bound by the terms hereof.

19. Choice of Law. This Award Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable Delaware principles of conflicts of law) as to all matters, including but not limited to matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

20. Option Subject to Plan. By entering into this Award Agreement the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant has received and read a copy of the Plan. The Option is subject to the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.

21. No Guarantees Regarding Tax Treatment. The Participant (or his beneficiaries) shall be responsible for all taxes with respect to the Option. The Committee and the Company make no guarantees regarding the tax treatment of the Option. Neither the Committee nor the Company has any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any tax under Section 409A of the Code or Section 457A of the Code or otherwise and none of the Company, any Affiliate, or any of their employees or representatives shall have any liability to the Participant with respect thereto.

22. Amendment. The Committee may amend or alter this Award Agreement and the Option granted hereunder at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan.

23. Severability. The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

24. Signature in Counterparts. This Award Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the restricted stock provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. Restricted Stock Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant [ ] Shares (the "Restricted Shares"), which shall vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3 hereof.

2. Certificates. A certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall be issued by the Company and shall be registered in the name of the Participant on the stock transfer books of the Company promptly following execution of this Award Agreement by the Participant, but shall remain in the physical custody of the Company or its designee at all times prior to the vesting of such Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 3 hereof. As a condition to the receipt of this Award Agreement, the Participant shall deliver to the Company a Stock Power in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Shares. Each certificate representing the Restricted Shares shall bear the following legend:

As soon as administratively practicable, but not later than sixty (60) days, following the vesting of the Restricted Shares (as described in Section 3 hereof), and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions, including, but not limited to, the payment by the Participant of all applicable withholding taxes, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Participant, or in the case of Participant's death, Participant's beneficiary, a certificate or certificates for the applicable Shares of Restricted Stock which shall not bear the legend described above, but may bear such other legends as the Company deems advisable pursuant to Section 6 below.

4. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company until the Restricted Shares vest, provided, that, the Participant shall have the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Shares (the "Dividends") subject to the remainder of this Section 4. The Dividends, if any, shall be held by the Company and shall be subject to forfeiture until such time that the Restricted Shares on which the Dividends were distributed vest in accordance with Section 3 above. The Dividends shall be released to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable, but not later than the time of delivery to the Participant, in accordance with Section 2 above, of certificates representing the Restricted Shares on which the Dividends were distributed.

5. Restrictive Covenants. In consideration for the grant of the Restricted Shares hereunder, the Participant agrees to comply with the covenants set forth in this Section 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a party to an employment agreement or other agreement with the Company or any Affiliate and such agreement contains restrictive covenants, the restrictive covenants in such agreement will control for purposes of this Award Agreement; provided that in the event the restrictive covenants of the aforementioned agreement do not contain all the restrictions described in this Award Agreement, then the additional restrictions in the Award Agreement shall apply to the Participant in addition to the restrictions described in the aforementioned agreement.

7. No Right to Continued Service. The granting of the Restricted Stock evidenced hereby and this Award Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the service of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate the service of such Participant.

8. Securities Laws/Legend on Certificates.

The Company shall not be obligated to file any registration statement under any applicable securities laws to permit the purchase or issuance of any Shares under the Plan or Awards, and accordingly any certificates for Shares or documents granting Awards may have an appropriate legend or statement of applicable restrictions endorsed thereon. If the Company deems it necessary to ensure that the issuance of Shares under the Plan is not required to be registered under any applicable securities laws, each Participant to whom such Shares would be issued shall deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company may reasonably request which satisfies such requirements.

9. Transferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the Restricted Shares may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and

unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided, that, the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of the Restricted Shares to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof.

10. Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any payment or shares of common stock deliverable under this Award Agreement or require the Participant to remit to the Company or applicable Affiliate, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Award Agreement.

12. Entire Agreement. This Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof.

13. Waiver. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Award Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition whether of like or different nature.

14. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Award Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon the Participant, the Participant's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participant's estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Award Agreement and have agreed in writing to be joined herein and be bound by the terms hereof.

To the Member and Board of Directors of
Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC
Chicago, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc. (the "Theatres") as of December 31, 2009, and 2008, and the related statements of income and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Theatres' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Theatres' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, these financial statements pertain to the Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc. by Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC (the "Parent"). The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the records maintained by the Parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of the operations if the Theatres had been operated as an unaffiliated company. Portions of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses represent allocations made from the Parent to the Theatres that are applicable to the Parent as a whole.

Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and

For the Years Ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007

The principal business of the Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc (such theatres are hereafter referred to as the "Theatres") is the operation of motion picture theatres. Box office admission and concession sales are the Theatres' primary sources of revenue.

The Theatres' operations are primarily located throughout the Midwest in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, and Ohio. Over the years, the Theatres have grown through the construction and acquisition of theatres, most recently in the states of Colorado, Wisconsin, and California.

The Theatres are not a separate legal entity, and were operated by Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC (the "Parent") during the periods presented. On December 9, 2009, the Parent agreed to sell these theatre assets comprising a substantial majority of the Parent's theatres and transfer related liabilities to AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMC") (the "Sale"); this sale was closed on May 24, 2010. Further discussion of the Sale is included in Note 2.

Management's Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Preopening Expenses—Costs incurred prior to opening of a new theatre are expensed as incurred. These costs include advertising and other start-up costs incurred prior to the operation of new theatres and are reported in their respective lines in the statements of income.

Accounts Receivable—An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided only if specific accounts are considered uncollectible. If items become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made. Management determined no allowance was required as of December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Inventories—Inventories consist primarily of concession items and are carried at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment, consisting of buildings, land and leasehold improvements, and equipment, are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed using both straight-line and accelerated methods. Land improvements are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 39 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or economic life of the asset. Equipment is depreciated over an estimated useful life of five to seven years. Interest capitalized on Theatre-managed construction projects totaled $0 and $336,858 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Leases—A significant portion of the Theatres' operations are conducted in premises occupied under lease agreements with initial base terms ranging generally from 15 to 20 years, with certain leases containing options to extend for up to an additional 20 years. The Theatres do not believe that exercise

of the renewal options in its leases is reasonably assured at the inception of the lease agreements and therefore considers the initial base term the lease term. The leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the consumer price index with a contractual floor and ceiling, and contingent rentals, including those that are based on revenues with a guaranteed minimum. As of December 31, 2009, all leases qualified as operating leases.

The Theatres record rent expense for their operating leases on a straight-line basis over the base term of the lease agreements, commencing with the date the Theatres have control and access to leased premises.

Occasionally, the Theatres are responsible for the construction of theatres subject to operating leases and receive reimbursement from the property developer for construction costs incurred. The Theatres evaluate these leases to determine who the accounting owner is during the construction period. For leases where the Theatres are determined to be the accounting owner during construction, they account for receipt of developer reimbursements under prevailing sale-leaseback accounting guidance. The Theatres have constructed four theatres subject to the circumstances described for which they have determined certain terms of the leases to be prohibited forms of continuing involvement. As a result, the Theatres have recorded developer reimbursement financing obligations of $17,046,863 and $14,849,587 in their statements of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for operating leases related to these projects. The current portion of developer reimbursement financing obligations was $262,588 and $56,221, respectively, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Business Combinations—The Theatres account for their acquisitions of theatres using the purchase method. The purchase method requires that the Theatres estimate the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities acquired. The allocation of purchase price is based on management's judgment, including valuation assessments.

Goodwill—The Theatres evaluate their goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The evaluation is performed using a two-step process. In the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a second step must be completed in order to determine the amount of the goodwill impairment that should be recorded. In the second step, the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill is determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its assets and liabilities other than goodwill (including any unrecognized intangible assets) in a manner similar to a business combination. The resulting implied fair value of the goodwill that results from the application of this second step is then compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference if the implied goodwill is less than the carrying amount.

The assumptions used in the estimate of fair value are generally consistent with the past performance of a reporting unit and are also consistent with the projections and assumptions that are used in current operating plans. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions. The Theatres recorded no goodwill impairment during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, or 2007.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Intangible Assets—As of December 31, 2009, definite-lived intangible assets were $25,963,411, net of accumulated amortization of $4,186,285. As of December 31, 2008, definite-lived intangible assets were $27,408,299, net of accumulated amortization of $2,741,397. These intangible assets consisted primarily of the intangible value associated with the operating leases that were acquired in the acquisitions discussed in Note 5. Amortization expense was $1,444,888, $1,902,252, and $839,145 for fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, and is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in the statements of income.

Other Assets—As of December 31, 2009, debt issuance costs were $1,858,065, net of accumulated amortization of $1,393,590. As of December 31, 2008, other assets include debt issuance costs $698,253, net of accumulated amortization of $644,899. Costs resulting from the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt agreement. Amortization expense of $1,017,322, $531,677, and $922,721 for fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, is recorded in interest expense in the statements of income.

Long-Lived Assets—The Theatres review the carrying value of their long-lived assets, including property and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent the estimated future cash inflows attributable to the assets, less estimated future cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized. No impairment loss was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.

Revenue Recognition—Revenues include box office receipts, sales of concessions merchandise, advertising revenues, and other miscellaneous revenues, primarily fees for theatre rentals. The Theatres recognize box office and concession revenues at the point of sale and other revenues when earned.

The Theatres sell gift certificates and gift cards both in the theatres and online. These receipts are excluded from revenues until the date the gift certificates and gift cards are redeemed. The Theatres recognize gift certificate breakage when its future performance obligation is determined to be remote. Gift certificate breakage was $777,298, $355,118, and $2,817,092, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007. Gift certificate breakage is recorded as a component of other operating revenue in the statements of income.

Operating Expenses—Film rental costs are recorded as revenue is earned based upon the terms of the respective film license arrangements. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Other operating expenses are principally comprised of payroll and benefits costs, utilities, maintenance, repairs, and other general operating expenses. The balance of operating expenses incurred by the corporate function is classified as general and administrative expenses. Theatre occupancy costs include rent, property taxes, and other occupancy costs.

Vendor Allowances—The Theatres receive volume-based purchase rebates from vendors. These rebates are recorded as a reduction of inventories upon receipt and recognized as a reduction of the cost of concession sales when merchandise is sold.

Comprehensive Income—Comprehensive income equals net income for all periods presented.

As mentioned in Note 1, on December 9, 2009, the Parent agreed to sell certain theatre assets comprising a substantial majority of the Parent's theatres and transfer related liabilities to AMC; this sale closed on May 24, 2010. These theatres were sold for $275,000,000 in cash, subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments finalized on the closing date.

The financial statements pertain to these theatres sold to AMC by the Parent. The financial statements have been prepared from the records maintained by the Parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of the operations if these theatres had been operated as an unaffiliated company. The majority of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses presented in these financial statements are specifically-identifiable to the theatres sold by the Parent to AMC. Portions of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses represent allocations made from the Parent to these theatres that are applicable to the Parent as a whole where specific-identification of these balances to each theatre is not practicable. These allocations primarily relate to certain receivables, payables, accrued expenses, debt and operating expenses generated or incurred at the Parent and not directly related to an individual theatre; these allocations have been made based on the proportion of the number of theatre screens within the theatres sold to AMC as a percentage of the total number of theatre screens owned by the Parent prior to the Sale. In the opinion of management, these allocations are reasonable for the purposes of presenting the financial statements of the Theatres.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernment entities. Generally, ASC 105 is not expected to change accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Theatres adopted ASC 105 for the year ended December 31, 2009, and any references to authoritative accounting literatures in the financial statements are referenced in accordance with the ASC, unless the literature has not been codified.

In December 2007, the FASB revised ASC 805 (formerly FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations). ASC 805 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The provisions of ASC 805 are applied prospectively from the date of adoption, except for adjustments to a previously acquired entity's deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position balances occurring outside the measurement period, which are recorded as a component of income tax expense in the period of adjustment, rather than goodwill. The Theatres adopted ASC 805 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact the Theatres' financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On January 15, 2004, the Parent made a $4,740,145 minority investment in a new company, KCC. The Parent made this investment in conjunction with Providence Growth Entrepreneurs Fund, L.P.; Providence Growth Investors, L.P.; and the management team of KCC. Prior to the March 2, 2007 acquisition of the controlling interest in KCC (as discussed in Note 5), the Theatres owned 23.685% of KCC and did not have managerial control. Accordingly, this investment had been accounted for under the equity method and the financial statements included the Theatres' share of the results of operations from January 15, 2004 through March 1, 2007. For the period from January 1, 2007 to March 1, 2007, KCC had operating revenues of $6,185,285, operating loss of $(201,044), and a net loss of $(840,998).

On January 31, 2008, the Parent acquired the assets, property, and operations of six theatres located in Iowa and Wisconsin from AGT Enterprises, Inc., and Star-Iowa, LLC (the "Star acquisition") for $75,517,400. The Star acquisition added 81 screens to the Theatres' circuit. The purpose of the transaction was to increase the scale of the Theatres, diversify and expand the Theatres' customer base, and strengthen the Theatres' competitive position in the industry. In conjunction with this transaction, the Theatres consummated two separate sale-leaseback transactions. The proceeds of the sale-leaseback transactions were used to finance the Star acquisition, pay down debt, and pay taxes and fees associated with the deal. The results of theatre operations are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On March 2, 2007, the Parent acquired the remaining 76.315% interest they did not previously own in their investment in KCC for a purchase price of $52,754,184, net of cash acquired ($424,773). The purchase price was subject to the terms of an escrow arrangement that was finalized in 2008 with a payment of $817,305 to the Parent, which reduced the total purchase price for the acquisition to

$51,936,879. This acquisition added 11 theatres and 125 screens to the overall circuit and gave the Theatres a presence in the state of Colorado. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and additional debt. The results of theatre operations are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On March 2, 2007, the Parent also acquired the assets, properties, and operations of two existing theatres near Chicago, Illinois for a purchase price of $12,652,954. The acquisition of these theatres added 28 screens to the overall circuit and enhanced the Theatres' presence in the Chicago area market. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and additional debt. The results of theatre operations are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The Theatres have allocated the purchase price to the theatre assets acquired at estimated fair values. The excess of fair value of the net assets acquired compared to the amount paid as of the acquisition date has been reflected as goodwill. The Theatres completed the purchase price allocations for the 2007 acquisitions during 2008, reflecting finalization of consideration paid in the KCC acquisition (pursuant to the terms of the escrow arrangement in the transaction) and the finalization of other allocations for both transactions based on all available evidence subsequent to the transaction. The purchase price allocation was completed for the Star acquisition during 2008. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired at the dates of acquisition:
