set forth below;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree

1.Employment. (a) The Company agrees to employ the Employee, and the Employee
agrees to be employed by the Company, under the terms of this Agreement, for the
period stated in Section 3 hereof and upon the other terms and conditions herein
provided.
(a)    The Employee affirms and represents that, other than as provided herein,

that imposes material restrictions upon, the Employee’s employment by the
Company or the Employee's responsibilities or undertakings under this Agreement.
2.    Position and Responsibilities. The Employee shall serve as President
Networks of the Company. The Employee’s principal place of employment will be
located in Los Angeles, California. The Employee shall be responsible for such

Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”) except as directed by the CEO to report
to the President of Cinedigm Entertainment Corp., either and both of whom shall
have the power to expand the Employee’s duties, responsibilities and authority
beyond those commensurate with his office (only in a temporary or immaterial
manner unless the Employee consents to such expansion) and, when considered
necessary or in the best interests of the Company, the CEO may override the
Employee’s decisions and actions. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Employee will devote his substantial full business time throughout the Term
(defined below) to the services required of him hereunder. The Employee will
render his business services to the Company and its affiliates during the Term
and will use his best efforts, judgment and energy to improve and advance the
operations, programs, services and interests of the Company in a manner
consistent with the duties of his position. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as

Employee’s employment hereunder, the Employee may participate in professional,
educational, welfare, social, religious and civic organizations.
3.    Term.
The term of this Agreement shall commence on September 15, 2018 (the “Effective
Date”) and terminate on September 15, 2021 (the “Term”). The parties agree to
provide written notice to each other no later than six (6) months before the
expiration of the Term regarding whether or not each would like to negotiate a
renewal of this Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Term, this Agreement,
except for the provisions that survive pursuant to this Section 3 and Section 8,
will have no further force or effect.
In the event Employee remains employed by the Company after the Term expires and
the parties have not executed a successor written agreement, the Employee’s
employment will be at-will. In such event, the Employee, for the duration of his
at-will employment, will be entitled to receive the Base Salary and participate

the Company in its sole discretion or as required by law from time to time.
6.    Termination.
(a)    The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the
Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term for Cause (as defined
below). The Employee has the right to resign and terminate this Agreement at any
time without “Good Reason” (as defined below) upon thirty (30) days’ written
notice, which notice period may be waived at the discretion of the Company. The
Company shall have no obligations to the Employee for any period subsequent to
the effective date of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section
6(a), except any and all obligations provided by applicable law and the payment
of Base Salary (pursuant to Section 4(a)) up to and including the termination
date, bonus earned and approved by the Committee (pursuant to Section 4(b)),
reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the termination date (pursuant to

Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term other than for Cause
upon thirty (30) days’ notice and the Employee has the right to resign and
terminate this Agreement at any time for Good Reason (each such termination
shall not include a termination of employee’s employment with the Company due to
the Employee’s death or Disability). In the event that, prior to the expiration
of the Term, the Company terminates this Agreement and the Employee's employment
for reason(s) other than Cause hereof (and other than due to the Employee’s
death or Disability) or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason, the Employee
shall be entitled to receive the following:
(i)    the amounts payable under Section 6(a); and
(ii)    the Base Salary for the twelve (12) month period following termination
of employment (the “Severance Period”), subject to Sections 6(f) and 12 (d)(iii)
below, to be paid in equal monthly installments, as of the first day of each
month following the date of termination; provided that the first of such
payments shall be made in the month following sixty (60) days after such
termination; provided that the first of such payments would include any amounts
that would have been payable absent the 60-day delay in commencement date, and
such payments shall continue for the duration of the Term or such twelve-month
period, as applicable; and provided further that the Company may elect in its
sole discretion to pay any amounts due under this Section 6(b)(ii) as a
one-time, lump-sum amount, less applicable statutory deductions and authorized
withholdings, in the month following sixty (60) days after such termination. The
Company shall be entitled to reduce the amounts paid under this Section 6(b) by
the amounts paid to the Employee in the same period by any other entity that
employs the Employee after the Employee’s termination date with the Company.
(c)    If, prior to the expiration of the Term, the Company terminates this
Agreement and the Employee’s employment for any reason other than for Cause (and
other than due to the Employee’s death or Disability), or if the Employee
resigns for Good Reason, in each event within two years after a Change in
Control (as defined in the EIP, provided that such Change in Control is a change
in control event within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder
(“Section 409A”)), the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following in
lieu of the amount payable under Section 6(b):
(i)    the amounts payable under Section 6(a); and
(ii)    a lump sum payment equal to the sum of his then Base Salary and Target
Bonus amount multiplied by two, subject to Sections 6(f) and 12(d)(iii) below,
payable as soon as practicable following the date on which the termination
occurs, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date of such
termination and the Employee will not have the right to designate the taxable
year of the payment; provided however that such payment shall be limited to an
amount which would not, when considered with other compensation payable to the
Employee in connection with a Change in Control, result in an “excess parachute
payment” as that term is defined in Code section 280G, as determined in the sole
good faith discretion of the Company.
(d)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means any of the following: (i)
the Employee’s conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to a felony or other
crime involving moral turpitude, (ii) the Employee’s material breach of a
material provision of this Agreement that is not corrected within thirty (30)
days following written notice of such breach sent by the Company to the
Employee, (iii) the Employee’s willful misconduct in the performance of his
material duties under this Agreement, (iv) the Employee’s performance of his
material duties in a manner that is grossly negligent, and (v) the Employee’s
failure to attempt to fully comply with any lawful directive of the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company which is not corrected within thirty (30) days
following written notice of such breach sent by the Company to the Employee.
Whether or not “Cause” exists shall be determined solely by the Company in its
reasonable, good faith discretion.
(e)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without the
Employee's written consent, (i) a material and substantially adverse reduction
in title or job responsibilities compared with title or job responsibilities on
the Effective Date; (ii) any requirement that the Employee relocate to a work
location more than 50 miles from city of Los Angeles, California; or (iii) any
material breach of the Agreement by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Good Reason will be deemed to exist only in the event that: (x) the Employee
gives written notice to the Company of his claim of Good Reason and the specific
grounds for his claim within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the
event upon which his claim rests, (y) the Company fails to cure such breach
within thirty days (30) of receiving such notice (“Cure Period”), and (z) the
Employee gives written notice to the Company to terminate his employment within
fifteen (15) days following the Cure Period.
(f)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments under Section 6(b) or 6(c),
and the Company shall not be obligated to make such payments, unless (i) the
Employee materially complies with the restrictive covenants by which he is bound
(whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise), including, but not limited
to, any non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, confidentiality
agreement or invention assignment agreement signed by the Employee, and (ii) the
Employee executes, delivers and does not revoke a commercially reasonable
general release in form and substance acceptable to both the Company and
Employee no later than sixty (60) days following the effective date of
termination of employment. To the extent the Company makes any such payment to
the Employee prior to the execution and delivery or a permissible revocation of
the release described in clause (ii) and the Employee fails to execute or
deliver the release or otherwise revokes the release, then the Employee will be
obligated to repay to the Company the full amount of any such payment under
Section 6(b) or 6(c), as applicable, theretofore made to the Employee within
ninety (90) days following the termination of the Employee’s employment.
7.    Death or Disability. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6 to the
contrary, upon the death or Disability (as defined below) of the Employee prior
to the end of the Term, this Agreement shall terminate and no further payments
shall be made other than those provided for by law and the payment of Base
Salary (pursuant to Section 4(a)) up to and including the termination date,
bonus earned and approved by the Committee (pursuant to Section 4(b)),
reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to such termination (pursuant to
Section 4(c)), and benefits (pursuant to Section 5) accrued prior to the date of
such death or Disability but not yet paid. For purposes of this Agreement,
Disability shall mean any physical or mental incapacity that is documented by
qualified medical experts and that results in the Employee’s inability to
perform his essential material duties and responsibilities for the Company, with
reasonable accommodation, for a period of ninety (90) days in any consecutive
twelve (12) month period, all as determined in the good faith judgment of the
Board.

Company. References in this Section 8 to the “Company” shall include the
Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions and the predecessors and

(b)    Non-Disclosure. The Employee agrees that he will not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, during the period of his employment or at any

employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within
the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this
Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like

constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A.

with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a
continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall

invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement
not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent
