RE: Employment Agreement

Dear Mr. Beeks:

On behalf of Lions Gate Films Inc. (the “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 are as follows:

1.    TERM

(a) The term of this agreement (“Agreement”) will begin April 1, 2015 and end March 31, 2018, subject to termination as provided for in Section 7 below (the “Term”). Until April 1, 2015, the employment agreement dated March 5, 2012, and subsequently amended December 17, 2012, between the Company and Employee (the “Prior Agreement”) governed the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment. During the Term of this Agreement, Employee will serve as Co-Chief Operating Officer (“Co-COO”) and Co-President, Motion Picture Group. As Co-COO, Employee will report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), currently Jon Feltheimer. As Co-President, Motion Picture Group, Employee will report to the Co-Chairs of the Company’s Motion Picture Group, currently Robert Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger, or the Company’s designee(s) who substantially perform the functions of the Co-Chairs of the Company’s Motion Picture Group. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time during the Term, Company may require by written notice (“Title Notice”) that Employee serve solely as the Co-COO or the Co-President, Motion Picture Group, and such requirement shall not be a breach of the Agreement. Following receipt of the Title Notice, Employee shall render such services as are customarily rendered by persons in Employee’s capacity in the entertainment industry and as may be reasonably requested by the Company as either the Co-President, Motion Picture Group or the Co-COO, as the case may be.

(b) 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.

(c) As long as Employee’s meaningful business time is devoted to the Company, Employee may devote a reasonable amount of time to management of personal investments and charitable, political and civic activities, so long as these activities do not

conflict with the Company’s interests or otherwise interfere with Employee’s performance under this Agreement.

2.    COMPENSATION

(a) Salary. During the Term, Employee shall be entitled to receive a base salary at the rate of NINE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($950,000.00) per year (“Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices in effect.

(b) Payroll. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Company’s right to modify its payroll practices, as it deems necessary.

(c) Bonuses. During the Term, Employee shall be eligible to receive annual performance bonuses with a target of seventy-five percent (75%) of Base Salary based upon such Company and/or individual performance criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee (the “CCLG”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (“Lions Gate”), the Company’s parent, in its discretion and in consultation with the CEO, provided that Employee must be employed with the Company through the end of the Company’s fiscal year and at the time when such bonus, if earned, is paid to be eligible to receive a bonus for a given fiscal year. In the event that Employee is terminated pursuant to Section 7(a)(v) below, Employee shall be eligible for a pro-rated bonus based upon the amount of time worked during the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, determined using the same criteria as used to determine bonuses for other senior level executives and paid at the same time that such bonuses are paid to employees of the Company. Any such bonus will be paid as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable fiscal year and in all events within the “short-term deferral” period provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(4).

(d)    Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such federal, state and local income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

3.    BENEFITS

As an employee of the Company, Employee will continue to be eligible to participate in all benefit plans to the same extent as other similarly situated salaried employees of the Company and in all events subject to the terms of such plans. For the sake of clarity, such plans do not include compensation and/or any bonus plans.
