AWARD AGREEMENT

WHEREAS, STARZ, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) maintains the Starz 2011
Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of October 15, 2013) (as has been or may
hereafter be amended, the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined in this Amendment will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) previously made grants of
performance-based Restricted Stock Units with a Grant Date of March 20, 2015
(each such grant, a “2015 Grant”), with each 2015 Grant documented by a

Agreement”).
WHEREAS, under Section 13 of the Award Agreement and Section 10.7(b) of the
Plan, with the consent of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan, the Committee may amend outstanding Award Agreements with any Holder.
WHEREAS, the Committee desires to amend the Award Agreements for all outstanding
(as of February 24, 2016) but unvested 2015 Grants, with the consent of the
Holder of each such 2015 Grant, to provide that if a Holder’s employment is
terminated in a Retirement Event (as defined below), such Holder’s Restricted
Stock Units will remain outstanding following such Retirement Event and the
Holder may vest as of the Committee Certification Date (as defined in the Award
Agreement) in a pro rata portion of any Restricted Stock Units that would have
vested had the Holder remained employed through December 31, 2017 based on the
portion of the three-year period ending on December 31, 2017 that the Holder was
employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries.
NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of February 24, 2016, for all outstanding (as of
February 24, 2016) but unvested 2015 Grants, the Committee hereby amends the
Award Agreements for such 2015 Grants as follows:

independently of his or her employment with the Company.

been continuously employed by the Company or any Subsidiary for at least ten
consecutive 12-month periods measured from the Grantee’s hire date with the

“Starz Group” means Starz, a Delaware corporation (and any successor thereto)
and its (or its successor’s) direct and indirect subsidiaries (defined for this

B.
The second sentence of Section 3(c) of the Award Agreements is amended to read
in its entirety as follows:

“The Committee will then promptly notify the Grantee regarding the number of
Restricted Stock Units, if any, that have vested pursuant to this Section 3 as
of the Committee Certification Date, after taking into account Section 6.A(e) if
applicable (with any fractional Restricted Stock Unit rounded up to the nearest
whole Restricted Stock Unit).”
C.
Section 6.A.(a) of the Award Agreements is amended to read in its entirety as
follows:

“(a)    Except as provided in Section 6.A.(d) or Section 6.A.(e), if the
Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason
other than death or Disability, then the Restricted Stock Units will be
forfeited as of the Close of Business on the date of such termination of
employment; provided, that if the Grantee remains employed until the Close of
Business on December 31, 2017 and the Grantee’s employment then terminates
without Cause on or prior to the Committee Certification Date, the Restricted
Stock Units will remain outstanding until the Committee Certification Date and
will vest on such date to the extent the Committee certifies they have vested in
accordance with Section 3;”
D.
A new Section 6.A.(e) is added to the Award Agreements to read in its entirety
as follows:

“(e)    If the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is
terminated by the Grantee, the Company or such Subsidiary in circumstances
constituting a Retirement Event and the Grantee does not engage in any
Competitive Activities during the Post-Retirement Period as reasonably
determined by the Company, the Grantee will become vested as of the Committee
Certification Date in a number of Restricted Stock Units equal to: (i) the
number of Restricted Stock Units, if any, that would have vested pursuant to
Section 3 as of the Committee Certification Date (with any fractional Restricted
Stock Unit rounded up to the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit) had the
Grantee remained employed, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of days between January 1, 2015 and the date of termination of
employment pursuant to the Retirement Event, and the denominator of which is
1,096. The requirement that the Grantee not engage in Competitive Activities in
order to vest in Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Section 6.A.(e) is
intended to protect the trade secrets and other business interests of the
Company. If the Grantee elects to engage in any Competitive Activities during
the Post-

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

Retirement Period as reasonably determined by the Company, the Grantee shall
deliver to the Company, at least ten (10) business days prior to commencing any
such Competitive Activities, a written notice advising the Company of (y) the
Grantee’s intent to commence Competitive Activities, and (z) the commencement
date for such Competitive Activities. If the Grantee engages in Competitive
Activities prior to the expiration of the Post-Retirement Period, the Grantee
will not become vested in any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Section
6.A.(e), and any Restricted Stock Units that are outstanding and unvested as of
the Committee Certification Date will be forfeited as of such date.”
E.
The changes contained in this Amendment shall be effective with respect to a
2015 Grant only with the consent of the Holder of such 2015 Grant, with such
consent to be evidenced by Grantee’s electronic acceptance of this Amendment via
the UBS online platform, or any other method that may be specified by the
Committee.

F.
Except as provided above, the Award Agreement and the Plan shall remain
unchanged and shall remain in full force and effect.
