The Board of Directors approved a modification to the 2008 director compensation plan. Effective

Under the plan, the Directors receive an annual retainer of $40,000 payable in a mix of stock and

Re: Second Amended and Restated Output Agreement

Dear Neil,

This Second Amended and Restated letter agreement when fully executed shall supersede and replace
the Amended and Restated Output Agreement of even date herewith by and between Alliance Films, Inc.
(“Alliance”) and The Film Department LLC (“FD”), and will serve to confirm the agreement
(“Agreement”) reached between Alliance and FD, with respect to the main deal terms related to the
output arrangement between Alliance and FD, pursuant to which Alliance licenses the rights in and
to certain films from FD as further described herein.

1. Territory

Canada including airlines.

2. Output Term

3 years, with such 3 year period commencing upon the initial release in North America of the first
film delivered under this agreement.

3. Covered Films

All films produced and/or financed that have commenced principal photography during the Output Term
and/or are acquired by the FD during the Output Term (each a “Picture”). The films “Law Abiding
Citizen” and “Rebound” are included under the Output Agreement. Alliance shall not be required to
take Pictures hereunder that are demographically unsuitable for the Territory.

1

 

4. Rights

All linear distribution rights now known or hereafter devised, provided notwithstanding the
foregoing, FD expressly reserves all of the ancillary rights set forth on Schedule A attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference.. In addition, Alliance shall be entitled to: (a)
collect revenues related to secondary rights royalties (e.g. retransmission royalties, private copy
or blank copy levies, public performance royalties, etc.); and (b) exploit commercial tie-in rights
related to the films. The rights granted herein referred to collectively as the “Distribution
Rights”.

5. Distribution Term

The Distribution Term for each film acquired hereunder shall be as set forth on Schedule B attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

6. Advances

(a) For Pictures produced and/or financed by FD, Alliance shall pay such amount of the Budget (as
defined and set forth on Schedule C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference).

(b) The Picture Advance for each Picture shall be payable by Alliance in accordance with the terms
as set forth on Schedule D attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The delivery
schedule will be negotiated in good faith by the parties and the parties agree that, in the event
of a dispute between the parties with respect to “delivery”, either party may at any time proceed
to arbitrate such dispute and any such dispute will be referred to and finally determined by
arbitration in accordance with the AAA Arbitration Rules and, in particular, the expedited
procedures thereunder, with the losing party responsible for the costs related to such arbitration.

(c) You have advised me that FD will not be acquiring just North American rights unless and until
it operates its own direct distribution operation in the US. Consequently, we have not negotiated a
“Canadian percentage” of any MG that you might pay for just North America. Should FD eventually
start such distribution operations and start acquiring films for just North America, we have agreed
that we will negotiate the Canadian percentage in good faith at the time, based on the parameters
then current in the marketplace.

7. US Releasing Commitment

(a) In order for FD to be able to put a Picture to Alliance for the Advance, the film must have a
commitment in place that satisfies the Minimum Release requirements and be by FD itself or an
Approved US Distributor in accordance with and subject to the terms as set forth on Schedule E
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

2

 

(b) At the time when FD commences principal photography on a Picture, if FD does not then have a
deal with an approved US distributor which deal includes a commitment for the Minimum Release and
FD is not then operating its own US theatrical distribution operation, i.e. FD cannot itself then
commit to the Minimum Release, then Alliance shall have the rights as set forth on Schedule E
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

8. Distribution Fees

The distribution fees shall be the fee as set forth on Schedule F attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference.

9. Application of Gross Receipts in respect of each film

First, Alliance shall deduct its distribution fees.

Second, Alliance shall recoup its distribution expenses.

Third, Alliance shall recoup its Advance plus interest (with the interest amount to be as set forth
on Schedule G attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

Fourth, all remaining amounts shall be paid to FD.

Gross Receipts shall be computed “at source” in respect of all rights except non-theatrical, which
shall be based on amounts received by Alliance from its subdistributor.

There shall be no crossing between films.

10. Rebound

Alliance (acting through its UK subsidiary Momentum Pictures) has agreed to license this Picture
for the UK for the advance amount, and such other terms, as set out on Schedule H attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference.
