Re.: Employment Agreement

Dear Xx. Xxxxxx:

     On behalf of Lions Gate Films Inc. (“Company”), this is to confirm the terms of your employment by the Company. We refer to you herein as “Employee”. The terms of Employee’s employment from this date forward are as follows:

     1. The term of this agreement (“Agreement”) will begin April 16, 2006 and end April 15, 2008 (“Term”). During the Term of this Agreement Employee will serve as Chief Financial Officer. Employee shall render such services as are customarily rendered by persons in Employee’s capacity in the motion picture industry and as may be reasonably requested by Company.

         The Company may, at its sole discretion, extend the Term of this Agreement for an additional year, commencing April 16, 2008 and ending April 15, 2009 (“Option Year”) by giving notice to Employee of its election to extend this Agreement at least ninety (90) days before that date.

         So long as this Agreement shall continue in effect, Employee shall devote Employee’s full business time, energy and ability exclusively to the business, affairs and interests of the Company and matters related thereto, shall use Employee’s best efforts and abilities to promote the Company’s interests and shall perform the services contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with policies established by the Company.

     2. The following compensation will be paid to Employee during the Term of this Agreement:

                Base Salary. During the Term of this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay Employee a base salary as follows:

     If the Grants described herein are not approved by the CCLG or Shareholders do not approve additional options and shares under the plan, Employee shall receive the cash equivalent (“Cash Equivalent”). The Cash Equivalent shall be the value of the shares on the date such shares (or a portion thereof) would have vested, and shall be paid on such date.

     In the event the Company does not elect to extend this Agreement to April 15, 2009 (Option Year) per paragraph 2 of Section 1, the Grants should be deemed fully vested at the end of Year 2.

     6. Employee agrees that the Company Employee Handbook outlines other policies, which will apply to Employee’s employment, and Employee acknowledges receipt of such handbook. Please note, however, that the Company retains the right to revise, modify or delete any policy or benefit plan it deems appropriate.

Employee; or

               (b) The death of Employee; or

               (c) Employee’s having become so physically or mentally disabled as to be incapable, even with a reasonable accommodation, of satisfactorily performing Employee’s duties hereunder for a period of ninety (90) days or more, provided that Employee has not cured disability within ten days of written notice; or

               (d) The determination on the part of Lions Gate that “cause” exists for termination of this Agreement; “cause” being defined as any of the following: 1) Employee’s conviction of a felony or plea of nolo contendere to a felony except in connection with a traffic violation; 2) commission, by act or omission, of any material act of dishonesty in the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder; 3) material breach of this Agreement by Employee; 4) any act of misconduct by Employee having a substantial adverse effect on the business or reputation of Lions Gate.

In such case Employee shall be entitled to receive the Base Salary set forth in Section 2 through the conclusion of Year 2 or Option Year if the option has been exercised subject to Employee’s obligation to mitigate in accordance with California Law. In the alternative, at Lions Gate’s discretion, if Employee is terminated by Lions Gate for any reason other than as set forth in sub-paragraphs 7(a)-(d), a severance amount equal to 50% of the balance of the compensation still owing to Employee under Section 2 hereof at the time of termination, but not less

     In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to sub-paragraphs (a)-(d) above neither Lions Gate nor Employee shall have any remaining duties or obligations hereunder, except that (i) Lions Gate shall pay to Employee, only such compensation as is earned under Section 2 as of the date of termination and (ii) Employee shall continue to be bound by Sections 9, 11, and 12. For the sake of clarity, in all events Sections 9, 11, and 12 shall survive and be binding upon Employee post termination.

     8. Employee’s services shall be exclusive to Lions Gate during the Term. Employee shall render such services as are customarily rendered by persons in Employee’s capacity in the motion picture industry and as may be reasonably requested by Lions Gate. Employee hereby agrees to comply with all reasonable requirements, directions and requests, and with all reasonable rules and regulations made by Lions Gate in connection with the regular conduct of its business; to render services during Employee’s employment hereunder whenever and wherever and as often as Lions Gate may reasonably require in a competent, conscientious and professional manner, and as instructed by Lions Gate in all matters, including those involving artistic taste and judgment, but there shall be no obligation on Lions Gate to cause or allow Employee to render any services, or to include all or any of Employee’s work or services in any motion picture or other property or production.
