AGREEMENT FOR CHAIRMAN OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective as of February 13, 2015 (the
“Effective Date”), by and between Carolco Pictures, Inc., a Florida corporation,
(the “Company”), the shareholders set forth on the signature pages hereto, which
shareholders, as of the Effective Date, own a majority of the common stock of
the Company (the “Majority Shareholders”), and Mario Kassar, an individual
(“Director”).

1.

Term.  This Agreement shall continue for a period of 1 year from the Effective
Date and shall continue thereafter for as long as Director is elected as
Chairman of the Board of Directors (“Chairman”) of the Company (the “Term”).

2.

Voting to Elect Director.  Provided that Director has neither voluntarily
resigned nor been terminated pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, the
Majority Shareholders shall vote all their shares in the Company over which such
Majority Shareholders have  voting control and shall promptly take all other
necessary or desirable actions within such Majority Shareholder's control
(including in its capacity as shareholder, director, member of a board committee
or officer of the Company or otherwise, and whether at a regular or special
meeting or by written consent in lieu of a meeting) to reelect Director as
Chairman.

3.

Position and Responsibilities

(a)

Position.  The Company hereby retains Director to serve as Chairman of the Board
of Directors.  Director shall perform such duties and responsibilities as are
customarily assigned to such position (the “Services”) and Director hereby
agrees to use his best efforts to provide the Services.  Director shall not
allow any other person or entity to perform any of the Services for or instead
of Director.  Director shall comply with the statutes, rules, regulations and
orders of any governmental or quasigovernmental authority, which are applicable
to the performance of the Services.

(b)

Other Activities.  Director may be employed by another company, may serve on
other boards of directors or advisory boards, and may engage in any other
business activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage), as long as
such outside activities do not violate Director’s obligations under this
Agreement or Director’s fiduciary obligations to the shareholders.  The
ownership of less than a 5% interest in an entity, by itself, shall not
constitute a violation of this duty.

(c)

No Conflict.  Except as set forth in Section 2(b), during the Term hereof,
Director shall not carry on, engage in, or otherwise be interested in, directly
or indirectly, any other business or activity that would result in a conflict of
interest with the Company’s business or that would materially adversely affect
Director’s ability to perform his duties as set forth in this Agreement.

4.

Compensation and Benefits

(a)

Director’s Fee.  As of the Effective Date, the Company hereby irrevocably grants
and shall remit to Director 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the
“Securities”) and shall pay to Director $500,000 to cover Director’s taxes with
respect to Director’s compensation under this Agreement, payable $100,000 within
five business days of complete execution hereof and $100,000 each month
thereafter until paid in full.

(b)

Stock Option.  As of the Effective Date, the Company hereby grants Director the

Effective Date and remain exercisable until 10 years after the Effective Date.

incurred or paid by Director in the performance of Director’s duties hereunder

losses, liabilities, damages, expenses (including outside attorneys’ fees),

action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative), including any action by or in the right of the Company, by
reason of any act or omission to act in connection with the performance of his
duties hereunder to the fullest extent that the Company is permitted to
indemnify Executive against the foregoing under the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation in effect as of the Effective Date and applicable law.  During the
Term, the Company shall also obtain and maintain Directors and Officers
Insurance in a form acceptable to Director naming Director as an additional
named insured.

Outside Consultation.  Director shall have the opportunity, at the Company’s
expense, to hire and consult with independent legal counsel and accountants of
Director’s choosing regarding Director’s obligations hereunder.

7.

Nondisclosure Obligations.  Director shall maintain in confidence and shall not,
directly or indirectly, disclose or use, either during or after the Term, any

form, except to the extent necessary to perform the Services, as required by a
lawful government order or subpoena, or as authorized in writing by the Company.
 These nondisclosure obligations also apply to Proprietary Information belonging
to customers and suppliers of the Company, and other third parties, learned by
Director as a result of performing the Services.  “Proprietary Information”
means all information pertaining in any manner to the business of the Company,
unless (i) the information is or becomes publicly known through lawful means;
(ii) the information was part of Director’s general knowledge prior to his
relationship with the Company; or (iii) the information is disclosed to Director
without restriction by a third party who rightfully possesses the information
and did not learn of it from the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.

Dispute Resolution

(a)

Jurisdiction and Venue.  The parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding
between Director (and his attorneys, successors, and assigns) and the Company
(and its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, members,
agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating to the Services or the
termination of those Services shall be brought in either the United States
District Court for the Central District of California or in a California state
court in the County of Los Angeles and that the parties shall submit to the
jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection the party may have to the laying of venue for
any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. If any one or more
provisions of this Section shall for any reason be held invalid or
unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions
shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application
valid and enforceable.

(b)

Attorneys’ Fees.  Should any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding be
commenced between the parties concerning the rights or obligations of the
parties under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such proceeding shall be
entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable
sum as and for its attorneys’ fees in such proceeding. This amount shall be
determined by the court in such proceeding or in a separate action brought for
that purpose. In addition to any amount received as attorneys’ fees, the
prevailing party also shall be entitled to receive from the party held to be
liable, an amount equal to the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing
any judgment against such party. This Section is severable from the other
provisions of this Agreement and survives any judgment and is not deemed merged
into any judgment.

9.

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement is intended to be the final, complete, and
exclusive statement of the terms of Director’s relationship solely with respect
to his position as Chairman with the Company. This Agreement entirely supersedes
and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous
statements or agreements pertaining to Director’s relationship as Chairman or
Director. Agreements related to Director’s ownership of the Securities are not
affected by this Agreement.

10.

Amendments; Waivers.  This Agreement may not be amended except by a writing
signed by Director and by a duly authorized representative of the Company other
than Director. Failure to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not
constitute a waiver of such right.

11.

Assignment.  Director agrees that Director will not assign any rights or
obligations under this Agreement, with the exception of Director’s ability to
assign rights with respect to the Securities. Nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent the consolidation, merger or sale of the Company or a sale of all or
substantially all of its assets.

12.

Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court or
arbitrator to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, such provision shall be
enforced to fullest extent permitted by law, and the remainder of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that the time period or
scope of any provision is declared by a court or arbitrator of competent
jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or scope that such court or
arbitrator deems enforceable, then such court or arbitrator shall reduce the
time period or scope to the maximum time period or scope permitted by law.

13.

Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.

14.

Interpretation.  This Agreement shall be construed as a whole, according to its
fair meaning, and not in favor of or against any party. Captions are used for
reference purposes only and should be ignored in the interpretation of the
Agreement.

15.

Binding Agreement.  Each party represents and warrants to the other that the
person(s) signing this Agreement below has authority to bind the party to this
Agreement and that this Agreement will legally bind both the Company and
Director. This Agreement will be binding upon and benefit the parties and their
heirs, administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns. To the
extent that the practices, policies, or procedures of the Company, now or in the
future, are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Agreement shall control. Any subsequent change in Director’s duties or
compensation as Chairman will not affect the validity or scope of the remainder
of this Agreement.

16.

Director Acknowledgment.  Director acknowledges Director has had the opportunity
to consult legal counsel concerning this Agreement, that Director has read and
understands the Agreement, that Director is fully aware of its legal effect, and
that Director has entered into it freely based on his own judgment and not on
any representations or promises other than those contained in this Agreement.

17.

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

first written above.
