(i) No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Parent a written statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the proposed amounts and calculations of (i) the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness outstanding and unpaid as of the Closing (the “Final Closing Indebtedness”); (ii) the aggregate amount of all Transaction Expenses outstanding and unpaid as of the Closing (the “Final Transaction Expenses”); (iii) the aggregate amount of all Pass Card Liabilities as of the Closing (the “Final Pass Card Liability Amount”); (iv) the aggregate amount of all Film Equipment Expenses unpaid (whether or not then due and payable) as of the Closing (the “Final Film Equipment Expenses”); (v) the aggregate amount of all New Theatre Development Expenses (the “Final New Theatre Development Expenses”); (vi) the Concession Inventory Amount as of the Closing (the “Final Concession Inventory Amount”); (vii) the aggregate amount of all Repair Amounts as of the Closing (the “Final Repair Amount”); (viii) the aggregate amount of all NCM Buyout Obligations (the “Final NCM Buyout Amount”), provided that the Final NCM Buyout Amount shall not exceed (but may be less than) the NCM Buyout Obligation Cap; and (ix) based on clauses (i) through (viii), a calculation of the resulting Final Cash Purchase Price (such amounts and calculations, the “Proposed Closing Date Calculations”). The Final Closing Statement shall be prepared, and the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be made, in accordance with the applicable Accounting Principles.

(A) If Parent does not give written notice of any dispute describing in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute and its alternative calculation of each item of the Final Cash Purchase Price in dispute (a “Purchase Price Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within thirty (30) days of receiving the Final Closing Statement, the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to be final, in each case, for purposes of determining the Actual Adjustment. Prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, Parent may accept the Proposed Closing Date Calculations by delivering written notice to that effect to Buyer, in which case the Final Cash Purchase Price will be finally determined when such notice is given.

(B) If Parent delivers a timely Purchase Price Dispute Notice to Buyer, Buyer and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the date Buyer receives the Purchase Price Dispute Notice from Parent. If Parent and Buyer do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to any disputed items within such thirty (30)-day period, then the remaining items in dispute shall be submitted immediately to Grant Thornton LLP (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to render a determination of the applicable dispute within thirty (30) days after referral of the matter to such Accounting Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor.

(C) Within ten (10) days after the engagement of the Accounting Firm, Parent and Buyer shall present their respective positions with respect to the items set forth in the Purchase Price Dispute Notice in the form of a written report a copy of which shall be delivered to the other party hereto, and (without limiting the rights of Parent and its agents under Section 2.5(c)(ii)) no ex parte conferences, oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other form of evidence gathering or hearings shall be conducted or allowed; provided that, at the Accounting Firm’s request, or as mutually agreed by Parent and Buyer, Parent and Buyer may meet with the Accounting Firm so long as representatives of both Parent and Buyer are present. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be instructed to be based solely on the written reports submitted to the Accounting Firm by Parent and Buyer, oral submissions by Parent and Buyer at meetings held in compliance with the prior sentence, and on the definitions and other terms included herein (i.e., not on independent review); provided that, in resolving a disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item or less than the smallest value for such item, in each case claimed by Buyer or Parent in the written reports presented to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm’s decision with respect to the matters in dispute shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and any party may seek to enforce such decision in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(D) The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon between Parent and Buyer, and any associated engagement fees shall be initially borne fifty percent (50%) by Parent and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer; provided that such fees shall ultimately be borne as set forth below. All other costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense. The fees and disbursements of the Accounting Firm shall ultimately be allocated among Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by them (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. Such determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(i)(A) and, as so revised, such Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the Final Cash Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder, including the determination of the Actual Adjustment.

(ii) Buyer shall, upon written request by Parent, provide Parent and its accountants and other representatives with reasonable access to the work papers, schedules, memoranda, and other non-privileged documents and records used by Buyer to calculate the Proposed Closing Date Calculations at reasonable times during normal business hours during the period of review by Parent of, and in connection with the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Proposed Closing Date Calculations.

(d) Payment of Actual Adjustment.

(i) If the Actual Adjustment is a positive amount, Buyer shall (and Marcus shall cause Buyer to) pay, or shall cause to be paid, to Parent or Movie Tavern, Inc. the Actual Adjustment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent, in each case, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Cash Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5(d)(i).

(ii) If the Actual Adjustment is a negative amount, then within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Cash Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5(d)(ii), at Buyer’s election: (A) Parent shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, to Buyer an amount equal to the Actual Adjustment; or (B) Buyer and Parent shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Buyer cash in the amount of the Actual Adjustment from the Escrow Fund.

Section 2.6. Treatment of Transaction and Purchase Price Allocation. Within ninety (90) days after the calculation and payment, if any, of the Actual Adjustment, Parent shall deliver a draft schedule allocating the purchase price (as determined for Tax purposes) (the “Allocation Schedule”) among the Purchased Assets solely for Tax purposes, including the assets of the Companies, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (and any similar provisions of state or local Law, as appropriate), it being agreed that $1,150,000 of the purchase price (as determined for Tax purposes) shall be allocated to the Pennsylvania Liquor Permits. Following delivery of the initial draft Allocation Schedule, Buyer and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreement regarding the allocation of the purchase price (as determined for Tax purposes) to the Purchased Assets, and to prepare a final Allocation Schedule. If Buyer and Parent fail to come to an agreement regarding the allocation of the purchase price to any of the Purchased Assets within ninety (90) days after Parent delivers the draft Allocation Schedule to Buyer, such dispute shall be shall be submitted immediately to the Accounting Firm for resolution. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other. The parties shall (a) report, act and file their respective Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) (i) in accordance with such allocation and any adjustments thereto and the tax treatment described above, and (ii) treat the Contemplated Transactions for US federal income tax purposes as a taxable purchase of assets and not as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, and (b) shall not take any position on a Tax Return or in a Tax audit or similar proceeding inconsistent with clause (a) above, in each case except upon a contrary final determination by an applicable taxing authority. To the extent that the Purchase Price is adjusted, Parent shall prepare an updated Allocation Schedule in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Section 2.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the portion of any Estimated Cash Purchase Price paid (or deemed to be paid for federal income Tax purposes) and the Closing Stock Consideration payable to Movie Tavern, Inc. shall be limited so that the quotient of the portion of the Estimated Cash Purchase Price payable to Movie Tavern, Inc. divided by the sum of the value of the Closing Stock Consideration and the Estimated Cash Purchase Price (in each case, payable to Movie Tavern, Inc.) shall be no less than 0.21 (the “Consideration Ratio”). For purposes of the Consideration Ratio, the value of the Closing Stock Consideration on the Closing Date shall be estimated by Buyer using any reasonable method. In the event the Purchase Price (for federal income Tax purposes) is adjusted, the parties agree to adjust the amount of cash paid to Movie Tavern, Inc. so that the Consideration Ratio remains at or above 0.21, with any excess cash paid to Parent treated as paid to Movie Tavern, Inc. and then subsequently loaned or distributed to Parent.

Section 2.7. Withholding. Notwithstanding other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to deduct and withhold from any payments to be made hereunder any amounts required to be withheld from such payments. All such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the applicable recipient of payment in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Buyer shall notify Parent of any withholding as soon as reasonably practicable, and shall cooperate with Parent to the extent requested using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such withholding, with Parent paying any of Buyer’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such efforts.

Section 2.8. Tax, Utility, Rental and Other Adjustments.

(a) The following items accruing against the Purchased Assets prior to the year in which the Closing occurs shall be paid by Parent and the Companies, and with respect to the year in which the Closing occurs, shall be apportioned and prorated between Parent and the Companies, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that, if the precise amount of any item listed below cannot be ascertained on the Closing Date, apportionment and proration shall be computed on the basis of the amount payable for each respective item during the year immediately preceding the year in which the Closing occurs and any prorations shall be adjusted thereafter on the basis of the actual charges for such items for the year in which the Closing occurs, which adjustment shall occur within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt by the party owing the adjustment of the appropriate documentation supporting the actual charges, including, but not limited to, any billing or substantiation thereof received from the lessor or sublessor related thereto:

(i) Subject to Section 2.8(c), rent, additional rent, common area maintenance and all other charges payable by Parent or any Company as tenant under the respective Theatre Leases; provided, however, that any charge payable on a monthly basis which is subject to year-end adjustment shall be prorated for the month in which the Closing Date occurs and any year-end adjustment thereof shall be paid by (or the refund from the lessor or sublessor paid to) Parent and the Companies, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, in proportion to their respective payments thereof; and

(ii) Payments owing by Parent or any Company under the respective Theatre Leases to merchants’ associations or similar business promotion organizations.

(b) Amounts imposed upon or assessed against each respective Theatre (and not otherwise payable by Parent or any Company as tenant under the respective Theatre Leases directly to the lessor or sublessor thereunder or payable by lessor or sublessor without any obligation of payment on the part of Parent or any Company) shall be remitted to the collecting authorities by Parent or the Companies if the same are due and payable on or before the Closing Date, and by Buyer if due and payable thereafter; provided, however, that amounts imposed upon or assessed against the Purchased Assets for the lease year or Tax year (whichever is applicable) in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Proration Period”) shall be apportioned and prorated between Parent and the Companies, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, on and as of the Closing Date with Buyer bearing the expense of Buyer’s proportionate share of such amounts which shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying a fraction, the numerator being the aggregate of such amounts and the denominator being 365, by the number of days in the Proration Period following the Closing Date. If any party (the “Paying Party”) pays or has paid an amount for which the other party (the “Non-Paying Party”) is responsible pursuant to the apportionment set forth in this Section 2.8(b), the Paying Party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Non-Paying Party.

(c) With respect to those Theatre Leases that require any percentage rent payment for the lease year in which the Closing Date occurs, which percentage rent calculations are summarized on Schedule 2.8(c), the percentage rent (taking into account any applicable credits or adjustments) shall be prorated between Parent and the Companies, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, such that each party shall be obligated to pay its proportionate share of the total percentage rent payable for such lease year. Each party’s proportionate share shall equal such party’s respective gross receipts, box office receipts or gross sales (as applicable under and as defined in the respective Theatre Lease for determining percentage rent owed, the “Gross Receipts”), divided by the total Gross Receipts, in each case, for that Theatre for such lease year. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing, Parent and the Companies shall provide Buyer with documentation, reasonably acceptable to Buyer, of the amount of Gross Receipts accruing for each month prior to the month of Closing, and the approximate amount of Gross Receipts accruing month-to-date for the month of Closing, for the lease year in which the Closing occurs under each respective Theatre Lease. After Buyer calculates the amount of percentage rent for each Theatre Lease for the lease year in which the Closing occurs in accordance with the provisions of such Theatre Lease, Buyer shall notify Parent of such percentage rent amount, and upon receipt of documentation supporting such payment in form reasonably acceptable to Parent, the parties shall make the payments required by this Section 2.8(c) to the party to whom any amount is due.

(d) Any adjustments to the Purchase Price under this Section 2.8 shall be effected, to the extent then known, by adjusting the Estimated Cash Purchase Price payable by Buyer at Closing, and to the extent not then known, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt by the party owing payment of the appropriate documentation supporting the actual charges, by cash payment from the party owing monies because of the adjustment to the party benefiting from the adjustments.

Section 2.9. Closing Stock Consideration Adjustments. Without limiting any other the provision in this Agreement, if, from the Agreement Date until the Closing, the shares of Marcus Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares, or similar transaction, the Closing Stock Consideration and any items on which the calculation of the Closing Stock Consideration depends, as the case may be, shall be correspondingly adjusted as appropriate to provide the holders of the shares of Marcus Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(c) With respect to the 401(k) plan covering the Transferred Employees, prior to the Closing Date (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”), Parent shall (or shall cause its Affiliate that sponsors such plan to) amend such plan to (i) fully vest all of the Transferred Employees in their accounts under the plan, and (ii) to make all employer contributions for the Transferred Employees in respect of the period through the Closing Date, without regard to any provision of the plan requiring that the Transferred Employees be employed on the last day of the plan year, have completed a minimum number of hours of service, or satisfied any similar allocation requirement in order to receive such employer contribution. Effective as soon as administratively feasible following the Closing, Buyer shall make reasonable efforts (i) to cause a Buyer Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to accept eligible rollover distributions (within the meaning of Section 402(c) of the Code) from a Transferred Employee with respect to such Transferred Employee’s vested account balance under the Parent 401(k) Plan and (ii) to accept rollovers of outstanding Parent 401(k) Plan loans, if so elected by the Transferred Employee.

Furthermore, Parent and the Companies shall be responsible for all obligations to the Transferred Employees for the payment of all wages and other remuneration due with respect to their services to Parent, the Companies and each of their respective Affiliates through the Closing, including, but not limited to, severance, and shall pay (i) pro rata bonus payments under Employee Benefit Plans for periods through the Closing, and (ii) to the extent required by applicable Law, all accrued but unused paid-time off benefits, including but not limited to vacation, for periods through the Closing (such that neither Buyer nor any Affiliate thereof shall assume or otherwise incur any Liability associated with such benefits).

(e) Parent and the Companies shall, or shall cause an Affiliate to, provide health care continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) to all Business Employees (other than the Transferred Employees), and all other former employees of Parent and the Companies, and all other COBRA qualified beneficiaries with respect thereto, for the maximum period required by COBRA (without regard to any shortening of such period due to plan termination) such that neither Buyer nor any Affiliate thereof shall assume or otherwise be liable, in any manner, for any COBRA obligations of Parent or the Companies in respect of such Business Employees.

(f) This Section 5.9 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.9, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.9. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.9 shall not create any right in any Transferred Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter or any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or otherwise limit or affect the rights of, or the remedies available to, Buyer, including the rights and remedies specified in Article 2, Article 6, Article 7, Article 8 or Article 9 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the closing conditions set forth in Article 6, and the indemnification provisions of Article 8, shall be read without giving effect to any update to the Schedules or other written notices delivered pursuant to this Section 5.10.

In consideration of the Contemplated Transactions, effective at Closing, Buyer hereby grants to Parent and Greensboro Theatres, LLC a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the Intellectual Property used at and in connection with the Greensboro Movie Tavern during the thirty (30)-day period immediately preceding the Closing (the “Greensboro Movie Tavern IP”) in connection with the operation of the Greensboro Movie Tavern for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing (the “License Period”). During the License Period, Parent and Greensboro Theatres, LLC shall use the Greensboro Movie Tavern IP only (a) in the manner and for the purpose that Parent and Greensboro Theatres, LLC used such Greensboro Movie Tavern IP at and in connection with the Greensboro Movie Tavern during the thirty (30)-day period immediately preceding the Agreement Date, and (b) in a manner that meets or exceeds the established standard of high-quality use associated with the Greensboro Movie Tavern IP (the “License Standards”). If, at any time during the License Period, Buyer reasonably determines that Parent or Greensboro Theatres, LLC is using any of the Greensboro Movie Tavern IP in a manner or for a purpose that violates the License Standards or otherwise adversely impacts the reputation or goodwill of any of the Acquired IP, then Buyer shall provide written notice to Parent of such determination and Parent and Greensboro Theatres, LLC shall have (10) Business Days following receipt of such notice to cure such violation to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer. If Parent and Greensboro Theatres, LLC are unable to cure such violation to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day cure period, then Buyer, by delivery of written notice of termination to Parent, may terminate the license granted under this Section 5.17 with immediate effect. Parent shall phase out its use of all Greensboro Movie Tavern IP, as promptly as practicable, and in any event Parent shall, prior to the expiration of the License Period (at which time the license granted under this Section 5.17 shall automatically terminate), discontinue the use of all Greensboro Movie Tavern IP, including in all advertising, labeling, signage, stationery, inventory and other mediums at or relating to the Greensboro Movie Tavern or otherwise.

Section 5.18. Alcoholic Beverage Permits. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent and each applicable Company shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Buyer or its designee, at Closing, all alcoholic beverage Permits which are in their respective names and which are necessary for the operation of each Theatre (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, to the extent that applicable Laws prohibit the transfer of any portion of Concession Inventory connected with the same, then Buyer or its designee shall be required to purchase the Concession Inventory, but the transfer of Concession Inventory shall be appropriately limited or reduced as necessary to comply with such applicable Laws without otherwise delaying Closing or reducing the Purchase Price, and such matters shall in no event constitute any breach or default by Parent or the Companies or any failure of a condition hereunder). Parent, each Company, Buyer and Marcus shall reasonably cooperate with the other, and each shall execute or cause to be executed such transfer forms, Permit applications and other documents as may be necessary to affect such transfers and/or to permit Buyer to obtain New Liquor Permits. If applicable Law does not permit the transfer of any alcoholic beverage Permits used by each Theatre, then Parent, each Company, Buyer and Marcus agree that they will promptly execute or cause to be executed all transfer forms, applications and other documents required by applicable Governmental Entities in order to affect such transfer or issuance of New Liquor Permits at the earliest date possible consistent with applicable Laws, such that (a) all existing alcoholic beverage Permits (and/or such related Concession Inventory) used in connection with each Theatre shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee, or (b) Buyer or its designee obtains the New Liquor Permits. If: (x) each alcoholic beverage Permit held by Parent or the Companies and used at any Theatre has not been transferred to Buyer or Buyer’s designee at or prior to Closing; or, (y) despite commercially reasonable efforts by Buyer, any New Liquor Permit has not been issued to Buyer or Buyer’s designee that would permit Buyer and its Affiliates the ability to lawfully serve alcohol at each Theatre on and after the Closing, then, subject to applicable Laws, Parent and each Company (as applicable) shall cause the holder of each alcoholic beverage Permit used by any Theatre (each an “Existing Permittee”) to enter into an interim liquor agreement (an “Interim Liquor Agreement”) or any other such license agreements, management agreements and/or other interim agreements, in each case, in form reasonably acceptable to Parent, with Buyer or Buyer’s designee as may be reasonably necessary for the continuation of the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at each Theatre after the Closing and before such time as Buyer or Buyer’s designee (the “New Permittee”) obtains new alcohol beverage Permits (each a “New Liquor Permit”, and collectively, the “New Liquor Permits”) provided, however, the obligation of Parent and each Company to cooperate and keep open the liquor facilities of each Theatre shall terminate one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, or earlier, if Buyer or Buyer’s designee obtains all of the New Liquor Permits at an earlier date. At such time after Closing as all New Liquor Permits are obtained, each Existing Permittee will convey, at no additional costs, all Concession Inventory that constitutes alcoholic beverages to New Permittee by a conveyance document in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and in accordance with the requirements of applicable Laws. During the effectiveness of any Interim Liquor Agreement, each Existing Permittee that is a party to an Interim Liquor Agreement shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, at Buyer’s expense, and to the extent Parent and the Companies do not have Insurance Policies that provide for dram shop liability coverage, then prior to Closing, Parent and the Companies shall obtain insurance policies that provide coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $8,000,000 in the aggregate, for each Existing Permittee that is a party to an Interim Liquor Agreement all Insurance Policies that provide coverage for dram shop liability during the effectiveness of the Interim Liquor Agreement. Parent and Buyer shall use good faith efforts to agree on the form of the Interim Liquor Agreement during the period of time commencing as of the Agreement Date and the Closing Date. This Section 5.18 shall survive the Closing.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article 8, from and after the Closing, Parent and the Companies, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including Marcus) and each of such Person’s respective successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, members, partners, equity holders, representatives, fiduciaries, managers and agents (each a “Buyer Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of or arising from or relating to (i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by any Company or Parent in Article 3 or in any certificate or Interim Liquor Agreement delivered by any Company or Parent pursuant to this Agreement (ignoring, for purposes of determining the existence of any such inaccuracy or breach or the amount of Losses with respect thereto, any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifier set forth in such representation or warranty); (ii) any breach by any Company or Parent of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein; (iii) any Excluded Liability; and (iv) Fraud.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Article 8, from and after the Closing, Buyer and Marcus, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold Parent and its Affiliates (including the Companies) and each of such Person’s respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (each a “Parent Indemnitee”) harmless from any Loss suffered or incurred as a result of or arising from or relating to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer or Marcus in Article 4 of this Agreement (ignoring, for purposes of determining the existence of any such inaccuracy or breach or the amount of claims with respect thereto, any “materiality,” or similar qualifier set forth in such representation or warranty); (ii) any breach by Buyer or Marcus of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein; and (iii) any Assumed Liability.

(c) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for the applicable period set forth in Section 8.1 and shall then expire, except that claims for indemnification with respect to which written notice to the applicable Responsible Party was provided by the applicable Indemnified Party prior to the end of such applicable period, shall survive until final resolution thereof.

Section 8.3. Third Party Claims; Notice of Other Claims.

(a) If an Action by a Person who is not a party hereto or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) is made in writing against any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 (an “Indemnified Party”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article 8, such Indemnified Party shall promptly give a Notice of Claim to the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (such notified party, the “Responsible Party”); provided that the failure to give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Responsible Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to assume (by written notice to the Indemnified Party) the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the expense of the Responsible Party, of the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Responsible Party in connection therewith; provided that the Responsible Party acknowledges in writing that it has an indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to any Losses that may be incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim; and provided, further, that the Responsible Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if (i) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, (ii) an Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Responsible Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, (iii) the Third Party Claim relates to or otherwise arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement action (other than an action with respect to Taxes), investigation, suit or proceeding or (iv) settlement of, an adverse judgment with respect to, or conduct of the defense of the Third Party Claim by the Responsible Party is, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to be adverse to the Indemnified Party’s reputation or continuing business interests. If the Responsible Party assumes control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, then the Responsible Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party (the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party). For the avoidance of doubt, any fees and expenses of separate counsel retained by any Indemnified Party that are incurred after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period set forth above and prior to the Responsible Party’s assumption of control of the defense of the Third Party Claim shall be subject to indemnification hereunder. So long as the Responsible Party is reasonably and diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim. If the Responsible Party elects to conduct the defense and settlement of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall retain the right to pay or settle such Third Party Claim; provided that, in such event, it shall waive any right to indemnity hereunder for all Losses related to such claim unless the Responsible Party shall have consented to such payment or settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Responsible Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party compromise, enter into any settlement or consent to entry of any judgment that (w) imposes any injunctive relief or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (x) does not include as a term thereof the giving by the Person(s) asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties of an express and unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim, (y) requires any monetary payment (other than a payment subject to the Threshold) which is not concurrently paid in full by the Responsible Party or (z) involves any finding or admission of any violation of any Law or the rights of any Persons. If the Responsible Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Notice of Claim hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) All of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and the Indemnified Party (or a duly authorized representative of such party) shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith; provided that, if the interests of the parties become adverse to one another, then the parties shall comply with the applicable rules of discovery and shall not be permitted to rely on this Section 8.3(b).

(c) In the event that any Indemnified Party wishes to make a claim for indemnification under this Article 8, the Indemnified Party shall give a Notice of Claim to the Responsible Party within any applicable time limitations contained in Section 8.1. Any such notice shall describe (i) the breach or inaccuracy, Excluded Liability or Fraud upon which such claim is based in reasonable detail in light of the facts then known to the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnified Party’s reasonable good faith estimate of the amount of Losses related to such breach or inaccuracy, Excluded Liability or Fraud for which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8; provided that no defect in the information contained in such notice from the Indemnified Party to the Responsible Party will relieve such Responsible Party from any obligation under this Article 8, except to the extent such failure to include information actually and materially prejudices such Responsible Party.

Section 8.4. Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. The rights to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2 are subject to the following limitations:

(a) the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) until the total amount which the Buyer Indemnitees would be entitled to recover under clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) (as limited by the other provisions of this Section 8.4) exceeds $650,000 (the “Threshold”), in which case the Buyer Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, and in no event shall the aggregate recovery of Losses by Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) exceed $10,000,000, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 8.4; provided that this Section 8.4(a) shall not apply to Losses suffered or incurred as a result of or arising from or relating to any breach of, or inaccuracy in any Fundamental Representation.

(b) with respect to any Losses for which the Buyer Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.2(a), Parent shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed $50,000 (which Losses shall not be counted towards the Threshold); provided that this Section 8.4(b) shall not apply to Losses suffered or incurred as a result of or arising from or relating to any breach of or inaccuracy in any Fundamental Representation.

(c) in no event shall the aggregate recovery of Losses by Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) with respect to any breach of a Fundamental Representation, or pursuant to any of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 8.2(a), exceed the Purchase Price, in each case, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 8.4;

(d) the amount of any Losses recoverable by Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be determined net of (i) the amount of any such Losses that were set forth on the Final Closing Statement and included in the calculation of the Final Cash Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5(c); (ii) the amount of any indemnification payment actually received by any Buyer Indemnitee from any third party in respect of such Losses; and (iii) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by any Buyer Indemnitee from any third party insurer with respect to such Losses, in each case of clause (ii) and (iii), net of any deductibles or other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee in procuring such recovery; provided, however, that (A) if Parent or any Company pays to any Buyer Indemnitee an amount in respect of Losses and any Buyer Indemnitee thereafter receives from a third party a sum in respect of such Losses, then Buyer shall promptly tender to Parent an amount equal to the lesser of such sum and the amount that Parent or such Company paid in respect of such Losses; and (B) Buyer shall, and shall cause the other Buyer Indemnitees to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain available recoveries as contemplated by clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 8.4(d); provided that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not obligate Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee to expend any amount of money other than de minimis amounts (unless such other amounts are advanced by Parent or the Companies), commence any Action, or otherwise take any action that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the Business;

(e) no party shall be liable for any punitive or exemplary damages (except to the extent paid in connection with a Third Party Claim or Fraud); and

(f) the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 8.2(a) in respect of any Environmental Liability that is discovered through or during any intrusive or subsurface investigations or other sampling of environmental media undertaken other than (i) in connection with any necessary or ordinary course maintenance or repairs, (ii) in connection with any improvement, remodel or development activity at any Theatre, (iii) as required by Law or at the direction of a Governmental Entity, or (iv) as deemed necessary or advisable by Buyer based on the advice of counsel.

Section 8.5. Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to Section 10.16, the provisions of this Article 8 shall be the exclusive remedy for the parties hereto for any misrepresentation or breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.6. Manner of Payment.

(a) Any amount payable by Parent and the Companies to any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) (including any amounts adjudicated due upon judgment or other judicial or arbitral determination, unless appealed, or agreed to be paid by settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim, and after giving effect to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 8.4) shall be paid exclusively from the then remaining balance of the Escrow Fund, by release of funds to such Buyer Indemnitee by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, and the release of such funds shall accordingly reduce the balance of the Escrow Fund; provided that this Section 8.6(a) shall not apply to the amount of any Losses suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee as a result of or arising from or relating to any breach of or inaccuracy in any Fundamental Representation.

(b) Any amount payable by Parent and the Companies to any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to (i) clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) in respect of any Losses suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee as a result of or arising from or relating to any breach of or inaccuracy in any Fundamental Representation, or (ii) any of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 8.2(a) (in each case, including any amounts adjudicated due upon judgment or other judicial or arbitral determination, unless appealed, or agreed to be paid by settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim, and after giving effect to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 8.4) shall be paid first from the then remaining balance of the Escrow Fund, by release of funds to such Buyer Indemnitee by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, and the release of such funds shall accordingly reduce the balance of the Escrow Fund, and in the event that the then remaining balance of the Escrow Fund is insufficient to pay the entire amount payable to the Buyer Indemnitee, Parent and the Companies, jointly and severally, shall pay the remaining amount payable to the Buyer Indemnitee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the applicable Buyer Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after the determination thereof (or, at the option of the applicable Buyer Indemnitee, by setoff of other amounts owing to Parent or any Company hereunder, including any positive Actual Adjustment, Virtual Print Fees, Luxury Reimbursements or Payment Dispute recoveries). Any amount payable by Buyer to any Parent Indemnitee pursuant to this Article 8 (including any amounts adjudicated due upon judgment or other judicial or arbitral determination, unless appealed, or agreed to be paid by settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the applicable Parent Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after the determination thereof.

Section 8.7. Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Each party will treat indemnification payments pursuant to this Article 8 as adjustments to the Final Cash Purchase Price for all purposes, unless applicable Law requires otherwise.

Section 8.8. Mitigation. Each party shall take all actions required by applicable Law to mitigate all Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by it or any Indemnified Party it controls upon becoming aware of any fact, event of circumstance which has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any such Loss. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to the extent permitted by applicable Law with respect to resolving any claim or liability underlying any Loss with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify any Person hereunder.

Article 9
TAX MATTERS

Section 9.1. Payroll. The parties agree to use the “standard procedure” set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53 with respect to wage reporting. The parties agree that, with respect to each Transferred Employee, Parent or the applicable Company and Buyer respectively meet the definition of “predecessor” and “successor” as defined in the Treas. Reg. Section 31.3121(a)(1)-(b). The parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to payroll reporting matters.

Section 9.2. Transfer Taxes. Parent shall be responsible for and shall pay all local, foreign or other excise, sales, use, value added, transfer (including real property transfer or gains), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar Taxes and fees that may be incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, together with any inflation adjustment, interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any inflation adjustment or interest with respect to such additions or penalties (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). Parent shall, at its own cost, prepare and timely file or cause to be filed all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes and provide copies thereof to Buyer; provided that Buyer shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documentation if required by applicable Law.

Section 9.3. Cooperation on Tax Matters. The parties and their respective Affiliates will reasonably cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any party hereto, in connection with any Tax matters relating to the Companies (including by the provision of reasonably relevant records or information).

Section 10.3. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights of the parties hereunder and any Action in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether at law or in equity, and whether sounding in contract or in tort or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 10.4. Jurisdiction and Venue. Subject to the dispute resolution procedures provided in Section 2.5(d), each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction first in any federal court, and second to any state court, in either case, located in the city of Wilmington, Delaware in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action may be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Action so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party hereto agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any Action may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Section 10.4, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each party hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any Action so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment in any jurisdiction or in any other manner provided by Law.

Section 10.5. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses, shall be paid by the party hereto incurring such fees or expenses.

Section 10.6. Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Asset Purchase Agreement together with all Schedules and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No party hereto, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing or enforcing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Person by virtue of its authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (a) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (b) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (c) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (d) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (e) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; (f) the words “dollar” and “$” mean dollars in the lawful currency of the United States of America; and (g) the word “or” shall not be deemed to be exclusive (i.e., “or” shall mean “and/or”).

Section 10.7. Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules hereto are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any item disclosed on any Schedule referenced by a particular section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to each other section in this Agreement with respect to which the relevance of such disclosure to such other section is reasonably apparent on its face. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.8. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Article 8, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Buyer Indemnitees and Parent Indemnitees not party hereto are intended third party beneficiaries of, and shall have the right to enforce, Article 8 of this Agreement, and (ii) the third parties not party hereto that are referred to in Section 10.15 are intended third party beneficiaries of, and shall have the right to enforce, Section 10.15 of this Agreement.

Section 10.9. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.10. Amendment. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding the sentence and any purported amendment by any party or parties hereto effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 10.10 shall be null and void.

Section 10.11. Extension; Waiver. Parent may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Buyer contained herein, (b) waive any breaches of, or inaccuracies in, the representations and warranties of Buyer contained herein or (c) waive compliance by Buyer with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Buyer may, at any time, (x) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Companies or Parent contained herein, (y) waive any breaches of, or inaccuracies in, the representations and warranties of the Companies or Parent contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by the Companies or Parent pursuant hereto or (z) waive compliance by the Companies or Parent with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach or a prior or subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 10.12. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, E-mail or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 10.13. Further Cooperation. Subject to the limitations on Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ obligations set forth in Section 5.1(a), from and after the Closing Date, each party shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other actions as another party reasonably requests to fully consummate the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 10.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties to this Agreement each hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial by jury of any Action (a) arising under this Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees and consents that any such Action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties to this Agreement may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

Section 10.15. No Recourse. No shareholder or member (other than, in the case of the Companies, Parent), director, manager, officer, employee or agent of Parent or the Companies shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect to any Liability or agreement of Parent or the Companies under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (unless such Person is a party thereto). No shareholder or member (other than, in the case of Buyer, Marcus), director, manager, officer, employee or agent of Buyer or Marcus shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect to any Liability or agreement of Buyer or Marcus under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (unless such Person is a party thereto).

Section 10.16. Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy, may occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each party hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.
