LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP.,
a company recognized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia
Jon
Feltheimer
Chief Executive Officer
1 Subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan.
2 Subject to early termination under Section 4 of the Terms and Section 7.2 of the Plan.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION
1. Vesting; Limits on Exercise; Incentive Stock Option Status.
The
Option shall vest and become exercisable in percentage installments of the aggregate number of shares subject to the Option, as set forth on the cover page of this Option Agreement. The Option may be exercised only to the extent the Option is vested and exercisable.
•Cumulative Exercisability. To the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable, the Participant has the right to exercise the Option (to the extent not previously exercised), and such right shall continue, until the expiration or earlier termination of the Option.
•No Fractional Shares. Fractional share interests shall be disregarded, but may be cumulated.
•Minimum Exercise. No
fewer than 100 Class B Common Shares (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) may be purchased at any one time, unless the number purchased is the total number at the time exercisable under the Option.
•Nonqualified Stock Option. The Option is a nonqualified stock option and is not, and shall not be, an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.
2. Continuance of Employment/Service Required; No Employment/Service Commitment.
The vesting schedule applicable to the Option requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment
of the Option (with the exception of any acceleration provisions provided for in the Participant’s most recently executed employment agreement then in effect, if any and to the extent applicable to the Option) and the rights and benefits under this Option Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services, as provided in Section 4 below or under the Plan.
Nothing contained in this Option Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued employment or service commitment by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, affects the Participant’s status, if he or
she is an employee, as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or service, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Participant’s other compensation. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his or her consent thereto.
3. Method of Exercise of Option.
The Option shall be exercisable by the delivery to the Secretary of the Corporation (or such other person as the Administrator may
require pursuant to such administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may implement from time to time) of:
•a written notice stating the number of Class B Common Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Option or by the completion of such other administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may require from time to time;
•payment in full for the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased in cash, check or by electronic funds transfer to the Corporation;
•any written statements or agreements required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan; and
•satisfaction of the tax withholding provisions of Section 8.5 of the Plan.
The
Administrator also may, but is not required to, authorize a non-cash payment alternative by one or more of the following methods (subject in each case to compliance with all applicable laws, rules,
1
regulations and listing requirements and further subject to such rules as the Administrator may adopt as to any such payment method):
•notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator;
•in Class B Common Shares already owned by the Participant, valued at their fair market value (as determined under the Plan) on the exercise date;
•a
reduction in the number of Class B Common Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant (valued at their fair market value on the exercise date, as determined under the Plan) pursuant to the exercise of the Option; or
•a “cashless exercise” with a third party who provides simultaneous financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise facilitates) the exercise of the Option.
4. Early Termination of Option.
4.1 Possible Termination of Option upon Certain Corporate Events. The Option is subject to termination in connection with certain corporate events as provided in Section 7.2 of the Plan.
4.2 Termination
of Option upon a Termination of Participant’s Employment or Services. Subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or pursuant to Section 4.1 above, if the Participant ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, the following rules shall apply (the last day that the Participant is employed by or provides services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary is referred to as the Participant’s “Severance Date”):
(i) other than as expressly provided below in this Section 4.2, (a) the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) will have until the date that is six (6) months after his or her Severance Date to exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Severance Date, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance
Date, shall terminate on the Severance Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 6-month period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 6-month period;
(ii) subject to Section 4.2(iii) below, if (x) as of the Participant’s Severance Date, the Participant has been employed by or provided services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary for at least ten (10) years and has attained at least age fifty-five (55), and (y) the Participant’s Severance Date is a result of a termination of the Participant’s employment or services either (I) by the Corporation or a Subsidiary other than for Cause, (II) due to the Participant’s death or Total Disability, or (III) at any time on or after March 23, 2020, due to a voluntary resignation by
the Participant (and provided that the Participant has provided at least four (4) months advance written notice to the Corporation or a Subsidiary of such resignation), then (a) the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) shall have until the date that is three (3) years after his or her Severance Date to exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Severance Date, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance Date, shall terminate on the Severance Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 3-year period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 3-year period;
(iii) if (x) as of the Participant’s Severance Date, the Participant has been employed by or provided services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary for at least five (5)
years, the Participant has attained at least age sixty (60), and the Participant is serving as an Executive Vice President of the Corporation or in a more senior position with the Corporation, and (y) the Participant’s Severance Date is a result of a termination of the Participant’s employment or services either (I) by the Corporation or a Subsidiary other than for Cause, (II) due to the Participant’s death or Total Disability, or (III) at any time on or after March 23, 2020, due to a voluntary resignation by the Participant (and provided that the Participant has provided at least four (4) months advance written notice to the Corporation or a Subsidiary of such resignation), then (a) the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary in the event of the
2
Participant’s
death) shall have until the date that is five (5) years after his or her Severance Date to exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Severance Date, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance Date, shall terminate on the Severance Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 5-year period following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 5-year period; and
(iv) if the Participant’s employment or services are terminated by the Corporation or a Subsidiary for Cause (as defined below), the Option (whether vested or not) shall terminate on the Severance Date.
For purposes of the Option, “Cause” has the meaning given to such term (or similar term) in any employment agreement between the Participant
and the Corporation or a Subsidiary then in effect or, if there is no such agreement (or such agreement does not include such a definition), means that the Participant:
(1) has been negligent in the discharge of his or her duties to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, has refused to perform stated or assigned duties or is incompetent in or (other than by reason of a disability or analogous condition) incapable of performing those duties;
(2) has been dishonest or committed or engaged in an act of theft, embezzlement or fraud, a breach of confidentiality, an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside information, customer lists, trade secrets or other confidential information; has breached a fiduciary duty, or willfully and materially
violated any other duty, law, rule, regulation or policy of the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor (other than minor traffic violations or similar offenses);
(3) has materially breached any of the provisions of any agreement with the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(4) has engaged in unfair
competition with, or otherwise acted intentionally in a manner injurious to the reputation, business or assets of, the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; has improperly induced a vendor or customer to break or terminate any contract with the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or has induced a principal for whom the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries
or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship.
For purposes of the Option, “Total Disability” means a “permanent and total disability” (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator).
In all events the Option is subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or as contemplated by Section 4.1. The Administrator shall be the sole judge of whether the Participant continues to render employment or services for purposes of this Option Agreement.
5. Non-Transferability.
The
Option and any other rights of the Participant under this Option Agreement or the Plan are nontransferable and exercisable only by the Participant, except as set forth in Section 5.7 of the Plan.

Any such notice shall be deemed to have been received, if mailed,
3

acknowledges having read and understood the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this Option Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Option Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not and shall not be deemed to create any rights in the Participant unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.
8. Entire Agreement.

prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
