RE:    Employment Agreement
Dear Mr. Levin:
On behalf of Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”), this letter is to confirm the terms of your employment by the Company.  We refer to you herein as “Employee.” The terms of Employee’s employment with the Company will be as follows:  
1.TERM
(a)    The term of this agreement (this “Agreement”) will begin on April 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) and end on March 31, 2020, subject to early termination as provided in Section 7 below (the “Term”).  As of the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the employment agreement between Employee and the Company, entered into as of February 7, 2013 (the “Current Agreement”).  From and after the Effective Date, Employee’s title shall be Chief Strategic Officer and General Counsel of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., the Company’s parent (“Lions Gate”), and its subsidiaries.  In such capacity, Employee shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, currently Jon Feltheimer (the “CEO”).  Employee shall render such services as are customarily rendered by persons in Employee’s capacity in the motion picture industry and as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
(b)    So long as this Agreement shall continue in effect, Employee shall devote Employee’s full business time, energy and ability exclusively to the business, affairs and interests of the Company and matters related thereto, shall use Employee’s best efforts and abilities to promote the Company’s interests and shall perform the services contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with policies established by the Company.  As long as Employee’s meaningful business time is devoted to the Company, Employee may devote a reasonable amount of time to management of personal investments and charitable, political and civic activities, so long as these activities do not conflict with the Company’s interests or otherwise interfere with Employee’s performance under this Agreement.
(c)    Subject to travel required by Employee’s position and consistent with the reasonable business of the Company, Employee will be based in the Los Angeles, California area.
(d)    During the Term, the Company shall pay for the services of an assistant to the extent available in keeping with the Company’s policy and practice for the Company’s co-Chief Operating Officers and division heads.

2.    COMPENSATION
(a)    Base Salary.  During the Term of this Agreement, Employee will be entitled to receive base salary (“Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices in effect.  During the Term, Employee’s annual rate of Base Salary will be $900,000. 
(b)    Payroll.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Company’s right to modify its payroll practices, as it deems necessary. 
(c)    Bonuses.  During the Term, Employee shall be eligible to receive annual performance bonuses based on such Company and/or individual performance criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee (the “CCLG”) of the Board of Directors of Lions Gate, in its discretion and in consultation with the CEO.  Except as expressly provided in Section 7 below, Employee must be employed with the Company through the end of the Company’s fiscal year to be eligible to receive a bonus for such fiscal year.  Any such bonus will be paid as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable fiscal year and in all events within the “short-term deferral” period provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(4) (generally within two and one‐half months after the end of the fiscal year for which the bonus is paid).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Employee’s Current Agreement shall govern as to Employee’s bonuses for the Company’s 2016 fiscal year. 
(d)    Tax Withholding.  Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such federal, state and local income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
3.    BENEFITS
As an employee of the Company, Employee will continue to be eligible to participate in all benefit plans to the same extent as other similarly situated salaried employees of the Company (including the Company’s co-Chief Operating Officers and division heads) and in all events subject to the terms of such plans. For the sake of clarity, such plans do not include compensation and/or any bonus plans. 
4.    VACATION AND TRAVEL
(a)    Employee shall be entitled to take paid time off without a reduction in salary, subject to (i) the approval of Employee’s supervisor, and (ii) the demands and requirements of Employee’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.  Employee shall accrue no paid vacation.
(b)    Employee will be eligible to be reimbursed for any business expenses in accordance with the Company’s current Travel and Entertainment policy.

Page 2 of 22

(c)    In addition, to the extent the following are within the Company’s policy and practice then in effect for similarly situated employees (including the Company’s co-Chief Operating Officers and division heads), Employee shall be entitled to (i) business class travel for flights in excess of four (4) hours; (ii) all customary “perqs” of division heads and the co-Chief Operating Officers of the Company; (iii) a cell phone, which may be expensed; (iv) a reserved parking space; and (v) reimbursement for all expenses reasonably incurred in connection with his employment.
(d)    The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any and all of the above referenced benefits, plans, practices, policies and programs (including those in Section 3) at any time (whether before or after termination of employment) without notice to or recourse by Employee so long as action is taken in general with respect to other similarly situated persons (including the Company’s co-Chief Operating Officers and division heads) and does not single out Employee. 
5.    EQUITY GRANTS
(a)    Time-Based Grants.  On November 13, 2015, the CCLG approved the grant to Employee of 56,250 restricted stock units (the “Time-Based RSU Grant”) and an option to purchase 101,250 common shares of Lions Gate at a per-share exercise price equal to the closing price of a Lions Gate common share on the date of grant of the option (the “Time-Based Option,” and together with the Time-Based RSU Grant, the “Time-Based Grants”).  Each Time-Based Grant shall be evidenced by and subject to the terms of an award agreement in the form generally then used by Lions Gate to evidence grants of that type under Lions Gate’s 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
		
	(i)
	Vesting.  Subject to Section 5(a)(ii) below, the Time-Based Grants shall each vest as to one-third (1/3) of the award on each of November 13, 2016 and November 13, 2017, and as to one-sixth (1/6) of the award on each of November 13, 2018 and November 13, 2019.

		
	(ii)
	Continuance of Employment.  The vesting schedule in Section 5(a)(i) above requires Employee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of each installment of the applicable Time-Based Grant and the rights and benefits thereto, except as otherwise set forth herein.

(b)    Performance-Based Grants.  On November 13, 2015, the CCLG approved the grant to Employee of 93,750 performance-based restricted stock units (the “Performance-Based RSU Grant”) and a performance-based option to purchase 168,750 common shares of Lions Gate at a per-share exercise price equal to the closing price of a Lions Gate common share on the date of grant of the option (the “Performance-Based Option,” and together with the Performance-Based RSU Grant, the “Performance-Based Grants”).  Each Performance-Based Grant shall be evidenced by and subject to the terms of an award agreement in the form generally then used by Lions Gate to evidence grants of that type under the Plan. 

Page 3 of 22

		
	(i)
	Vesting.  Subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, each Performance-Based Grant shall be eligible to vest as follows (each vesting date a “Performance Vesting Date”):

	(D)
	three-tenths (3/10) of each Performance-Based Grant will vest on November 13, 2019.

The vesting of each Performance-Based Grant on the applicable Performance Vesting Date shall be subject to an assessment of Employee’s personal performance over the twelve (12) month period ending on such Performance Vesting Date (or, if so determined by the CCLG, performance over a fiscal year of Lions Gate that overlaps with such twelve (12)-month period),  Such performance assessment and the determination as to the portion (if any) of each Performance-Based Grant that will vest on such Performance Vesting Date shall be made by the CCLG in its discretion, in consultation with the CEO.  Any portion of the Performance-Based RSU Grant or the Performance-Based Option that does not vest on the applicable Performance Vesting Date shall expire on that date with no possibility of further vesting; provided, however, that the CCLG may, in its sole discretion, provide that any installment of a Performance-Based Grant eligible to vest on a particular Performance Vesting Date that does not vest on such date may vest on any future Performance Vesting Date (but in no event shall either award vest as to more than 100% of the shares subject to such award).
		
	(ii)
	Continuance of Employment.  The vesting schedule in Section 5(b)(i) above requires Employee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of each installment of the applicable Performance-Based Grant and the rights and benefits thereto, except as otherwise set forth herein.

(c)    Acceleration of Equity Awards.  The following provisions shall apply to the equity awards contemplated by this Section 5:
		
	(i)

Page 4 of 22

such Change of Control, Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company “without cause” or by Employee for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in Section 7 below), the Time-Based Grants and Performance-Based Grants provided in Sections 5(a) and (b) above, to the extent then outstanding and unvested, shall immediately accelerate and become fully vested.
		
	(ii)
	In the event that during the Term, either (A) Employee’s employment is terminated at any time by the Company “without cause” as contemplated by Section 7(a)(v) below, or (B) the employment of both Jon Feltheimer and Michael Burns with the Company terminates (the second such termination to occur, a “Change in Management”) and on or within twelve (12) months following such Change in Management, Employee’s employment is terminated by Employee for “Good Reason” (as such term is defined in Section 7(a)(vi) below), then each installment of the Time-Based Grants and Performance-Based Grants provided in Sections 5(a) and (b) above that is then outstanding and unvested and is scheduled to vest within the period of twelve (12) months following such termination of employment shall vest in full on the termination date, and fifty percent (50%) of each installment of the Time-Based Grants and Performance-Based Grants provided in Sections 5(a) and (b) above that is then outstanding and unvested and is scheduled to vest within the period commencing twelve (12) months following such termination of employment and ending twenty-four (24) months following such termination of employment shall vest on the termination date.

		
	(iii)
	Any portion of the Time-Based Grants and Performance-Based Grants that is unvested after giving effect to the accelerated vesting provisions in paragraph (ii) above shall terminate on the date of Employee’s termination of employment.

		
	(iv)
	Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any equity award or other agreement, the provisions for accelerated vesting of equity awards in this Section 5(c) shall apply to, in addition to the Time-Based Grants and Performance-Based Grants, any other equity-based awards granted by the Company to Employee that are (A) outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or (B) granted during the Term at any time after the date of this Agreement (unless otherwise expressly provided by the CCLG at the time it approves the applicable grant).

6.    HANDBOOK
Employee agrees that the Company Employee Handbook outlines other policies in addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement, which will apply to Employee’s employment with the Company, and Employee acknowledges receipt of such handbook.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company retains the right to revise, modify or delete any such policy or any employee benefit plan it deems appropriate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any provision of the Company Employee Handbook conflicts with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
7.    TERMINATION
(a)    This Agreement and the Term shall terminate upon the happening of any one or more of the following events:  
		
	(v)
	The mutual written agreement between the Company and Employee. 

		
	(vi)
	The death of Employee.

		
	(vii)
	Employee’s having become so physically or mentally disabled as to be incapable, even with a reasonable accommodation, of satisfactorily performing his duties hereunder for a period of ninety (90) days or more, provided that Employee has not cured such disability within ten (10) days of written notice. 

		
	(viii)
	The determination on the part of the Company that “cause” exists for termination of this Agreement.  As used herein, “cause” is defined as the occurrence of any of the following:

		
	(A)
	Employee’s conviction of a felony or plea of nolo contendere to a felony (other than a traffic violation);

		
	(B)
	commission, by act or omission, of any material act of dishonesty in the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder;

		
	(C)
	material breach of this Agreement by Employee; or  

		
	(D)
	any act of misconduct by Employee having a substantial adverse effect on the business or reputation of the Company.

Prior to terminating Employee's employment for "cause," the Company shall provide Employee with written notice of the grounds for the proposed termination. If the grounds for termination are capable of cure, the Employee shall have fifteen (15) days after receiving such notice in which to cure such grounds to the extent such cure is possible. If not cure is possible or Employee has failed to cure, Employee's employment shall terminate upon the 15th day following notice of termination.

Page 7 of 22

		
	(ix)
	Employee is terminated “without cause.”  Termination “without cause” shall be defined as Employee being terminated by the Company for any reason other than as set forth in Sections 7(a)(i)‐(iv) above.  In the event of a termination “without cause,” subject to Employee’s execution and delivery to the Company of a general release of claims in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with such changes as may be reasonably required to such form to help ensure its enforceability in light of any changes in applicable law) not more than twenty-one (21) days after the date of such termination (and Employee’s not revoking such release within any revocation period provided under applicable law), Employee shall be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to 50% of the amount of the Base Salary that Employee would have been entitled to receive for the period commencing on the date of such termination and ending on the last day of the Term had Employee continued to be employed with the Company through such date (but no less than the greater of either (x) twelve (12) months’ Base Salary at the rate in effect on Employee’s termination or (y) the amount Employee would receive from the Company’s severance policy for non-contract employees that is in effect at the time of termination).  Subject to the release provision set forth above, such amount shall be paid in cash in a lump sum as soon as practicable after (and in all events within sixty (60) days after the date of Employee’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) with the Company; provided, however, that if the 60-day period following Employee’s separation from service spans two calendar years, such lump sum payment shall be made within such 60-day period but in the second of the two calendar years. The Company shall provide the final form of release agreement to Employee not later than seven (7) days following the termination date.  The Company’s provision of the payments and benefits referred to in this Section 7(a)(v) and Section 5 and Section 7(a)(vii), in addition to the accrued obligations described in Section 7(b) below, shall relieve the Company of any and all obligations to Employee. 

		
	(x)
	The foregoing notwithstanding, if Employee’s employment with the Company terminates on or within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control or a Change in Management (as defined in Section 5(c)) pursuant to a termination by the Company “without cause” or by Employee for “Good Reason” (as defined below), then Employee shall be entitled to receive (in addition to any rights to accelerated vesting of equity awards under Section 5 hereof and in lieu of the severance provided in Section 7(a)(v) above) a severance payment equal to 100% of the amount of the Base Salary that Employee would have been entitled to receive for the period commencing on the date of such termination and ending on the last day of the Term had Employee continued to be employed with the Company through such date (but no less than the 

Page 8 of 22

greater of either (x) twelve (12) months’ Base Salary at the rate in effect on Employee’s termination or (y) the amount Employee would receive from the Company’s severance policy for non-contract employees that is in effect at the time of termination); provided, however, that Employee’s right to receive such payments shall be subject to satisfaction of the requirement to provide a general release of claims in accordance with Section 7(a)(v).  Subject to such release requirement, the amount referred to in the foregoing clause shall be paid in cash in a lump sum as soon as practicable after (and in all events within sixty (60) days after the date of Employee’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) with the Company; provided, however, that if the 60-day period following Employee’s separation from service spans two calendar years, such lump sum payment shall be made within such 60-day period but in the second of the two calendar years. The Company’s provision of the payments and benefits referred to in this Section 7(a)(vi) and in Section 5 and Section 7(a)(vii), in addition to the accrued obligations described in Section 7(b) below, shall relieve the Company of any and all obligations to Employee.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any material diminution by the Company in Employee’s responsibilities as measured against Employee’s responsibilities prior to the Change of Control or Change in Management, as applicable, or any change in the positions to which Employee reports which results in Employee reporting to individuals with a materially lower level of authority than the individuals to whom Employee currently reports; provided, however, that any such condition shall not constitute “Good Reason” unless both (x) Employee provides written notice to the Company of the condition claimed to constitute Good Reason within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of such condition, and (y) the Company fails to remedy such condition within thirty (30) days of receiving such written notice thereof; and provided, further, that in all events the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company shall not be treated as a termination for “Good Reason” unless such termination occurs not more than one (1) year following the initial existence of the condition claimed to constitute “Good Reason.”  For these purposes, if the Company is purchased by another entity, it shall not be considered a material diminution in responsibility if Employee is made either (i) General Counsel at that other entity or (ii) Chief Strategic Officer at that other entity.  However, it shall be considered a material diminution in responsibility if Employee is required to report to another person performing a legal role in such other entity, General Counsel or otherwise, unless Employee consents.
		
	(xi)
	In addition, if Employee becomes entitled to receive the severance benefits provided in either Section 7(a)(v) or 7(a)(vi) above and subject to 

Page 9 of 22

the release requirement set forth therein, or if Employee’s employment terminates pursuant to either Section 7(a)(ii) or 7(a)(iii) above, Employee shall also be entitled to (A) payment by the Company of any bonus payable pursuant to Section 2 on a prorated basis for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment occurs based on the amount of such fiscal year worked by Employee (any such bonus to be paid at the time provided in Section 2 above and no such bonus to be payable for any fiscal year subsequent to the year of termination of employment); and (B) if Employee timely elects continued health coverage pursuant to COBRA, payment by the Company of his COBRA premiums for six (6) months following his date of termination (or, if earlier, the date he becomes eligible for coverage under the health plan of a future employer or the Company is otherwise no longer required to offer COBRA coverage to Employee).
(b)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 7(a)(i)-(iv) above, neither the Company nor Employee shall have any remaining duties or obligations hereunder, except that the Company shall pay to Employee, any base salary that had accrued but had not been paid (including accrued and unpaid vacation time) as of the date of termination (and, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii), shall provide the benefits provided in Section 5(c)(i), and in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) or 7(a)(iii), shall provide the benefits provided in Section 7(a)(vii)). Following the termination of the Term and/or this Agreement for any reason, Sections 9 through 15 shall, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, survive and continue to be binding upon the parties following such termination.
8.    EXCLUSIVITY AND SERVICE
Employee’s services shall be exclusive to the Company during the Term. Employee shall render such services as are customarily rendered by persons in Employee’s capacity in the entertainment industry and as may be reasonably requested by the Company. Employee hereby agrees to comply with all reasonable requirements, directions and requests, and with all reasonable rules and regulations made by the Company in connection with the regular conduct of its business. Employee further agrees to render services during Employee’s employment hereunder whenever, wherever and as often as the Company may reasonably require in a competent, conscientious and professional manner, and as instructed by the Company in all matters, including those involving artistic taste and judgment, but there shall be no obligation on the Company to cause or allow Employee to render any services, or to include all or any of Employee’s work or services in any motion picture or other property or production. 
9.    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
(a)  Employee agrees that the Company shall be the sole and exclusive owner throughout the universe in perpetuity of all of the results and proceeds of Employee’s services, work and labor in connection with Employee’s employment by the Company, during the Term and any other period of employment with the Company, free and clear of any claims, liens or encumbrances.  Employee shall promptly and fully disclose to the Company, with all necessary 

Page 10 of 22

detail for a complete understanding of the same, any and all developments, clients and potential client lists, discoveries, inventions, improvements, conceptions, ideas, writings, processes, formulae, contracts, methods, works, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, which are conceived, made, acquired, or written by Employee, solely or jointly with another, while employed by the Company (whether or not at the request or upon the suggestion of the Company) and which are substantially related to the business or activities of the Company its parent, affiliates, or subsidiaries that are within the scope of Employee’s employment and responsibilities hereunder (collectively, “Proprietary Rights”).  For purposes of clarity, Proprietary Rights shall not include works of fiction created by Employee outside the scope of Employee’s employment and responsibilities hereunder.  

(b)  All copyrightable works that Employee creates in connection with Employee’s obligations under this Agreement and any other period of employment with the Company, its parent, affiliates, or subsidiaries shall be considered “work made for hire” and therefore the property of the Company.  To the extent any work so produced or other intellectual property so generated by Employee is not deemed to be a “work made for hire,” Employee hereby assigns and transfers and agrees to assign and transfer to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the Company) Employee's full rights, title and interests in the Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designee.  In addition, Employee shall deliver to the Company any and all drawings, notes, specifications and data relating to the Proprietary Rights.  Whenever requested to do so by the Company, Employee shall execute and deliver to the Company any and all applications, assignments and other instruments and do such other acts that the Company shall reasonably request to apply for and obtain patents and/or copyrights in any and all countries or to otherwise protect the Company’s interest in the Proprietary Rights and/or to vest title thereto to the Company.  Employee further agrees not to charge the Company for time spent in complying with these obligations.  This Section 9 shall apply only to that intellectual property which related at the time of conception to the Company's then current or anticipated business or resulted from work performed by Employee for the Company. Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of written notice from the Company pursuant to California Labor Code Section 2872 that this Agreement (to the extent it requires an assignment or offer to assign rights to any invention of Employee) does not apply to an invention which qualifies fully under California Labor Code Section 2870.

10.     ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION
Employee shall not assign any of Employee’s rights or delegate any of Employee’s duties under this Agreement. Any such assignment or delegation shall be deemed void ab initio. 
11.    TRADE SECRETS
The parties acknowledge and agree that during the Term of this Agreement and in the course of the discharge of Employee’s duties hereunder and at any other period of employment with the Company, its parent, affiliates, or subsidiaries, Employee shall have and has had access to information concerning the operation of the Company and its affiliated entities, including without limitation, financial, personnel, sales, planning and other information that is owned by 

Page 11 of 22

the Company and regularly used in the operation of the Company’s business and (to the extent that such confidential information is not subsequently disclosed or otherwise becomes known to the public generally other than by breach of this Agreement by Employee) that this information constitutes the Company’s trade secrets. Employee agrees that Employee shall not disclose any such trade secrets, directly or indirectly, to any other person or use them in any way, either during the Term of this Agreement or at any other time thereafter, except as is required in the course of Employee’s employment for the Company, as required by applicable law or court order, or if authorized in writing.  Employee shall not use any such trade secrets in connection with any other employment and/or business opportunities following the Term. In addition, Employee hereby expressly agrees that Employee will not disclose any confidential matters of the Company and its affiliated entities that are not trade secrets prior to, during or after Employee’s employment including the specifics of this Agreement. Employee shall not use any such confidential information in connection with any other employment and/or business opportunities at any time during or following the Term. In addition, in order to protect any such confidential information, Employee agrees that during the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, induce or entice any other executive or employee of the Company, with the exception of Employee’s exclusive assistant if the Company has employed an individual in such role, to leave such employment.
12.    ARBITRATION
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in respect to this Agreement (or its validity, interpretation or enforcement), the employment relationship or the subject matter hereof shall at the request of either party be submitted to and settled by binding arbitration conducted before a single arbitrator in Los Angeles in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, to the extent that such rules do not conflict with any provisions of this Agreement. Said arbitration shall be under the jurisdiction of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) in Los Angeles, California. All such actions must be brought within the statute of limitations period applicable to the claim as if that claim were being filed with the judiciary or forever be waived. Failure to institute an arbitration proceeding within such period shall constitute an absolute bar to the institution of any proceedings respecting such controversy or claim, and a waiver thereof. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award damages and remedies in accordance with applicable law. Any award, order, or judgment pursuant to such arbitration shall be deemed final and binding and may be entered and enforced in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction. Each party agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any such court for purposes of the enforcement of any such award, order, or judgment. Company shall pay for the administrative costs of such hearing and proceeding. 
13.    INDEMNIFICATION
Except with respect to claims resulting from Employee’s willful misconduct or acts outside the scope of his employment hereunder, Employee shall continue to be defended, indemnified and held harmless by Company (whether during or after the Term) in respect of all claims arising from or in connection with his position or services as an Employee of the Company to the maximum extent permitted in accordance with Lions Gate’s Articles of 

Page 12 of 22

Incorporation, Bylaws, Board Resolutions and under applicable California and British Columbia law (including, without limitation and as applicable, attorney’s fees), and shall be covered by the Company’s applicable directors and officers insurance policy. 
14.    INTEGRATION, AMENDMENT, NOTICE, SEVERABILITY, AND FORUM
(a)    This Agreement expresses the binding and entire agreement between Employee and the Company and, from and after the Effective Date, shall replace and supersede all prior arrangements and representations, either oral or written, as to the subject matter hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5 of the Current Agreement, the terms of any equity grants that have been made under any other employment agreements between Company and Employee, and the terms of any equity grants that have been provided by Company to Employee outside the terms of any employment agreement, in each case to the extent the applicable equity award is outstanding on the date hereof, shall remain in full force and effect (subject in each case to Section 5(c)(iv) above).
(b)    All modifications or amendments to this Agreement must be made in writing and signed by both parties. 
(c)    Any notice required herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, received via electronic mail or on the depositing of said notice in any U.S. Postal Service mail receptacle with postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at 2700 Colorado Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Monica, California 90404 and to Employee at the address set forth above, or to such address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith.
(d)    If any portion of this Agreement is held unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law then such portion only shall be deemed omitted and shall not affect the validity of enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
(e)    This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. The state and federal courts (or arbitrators appointed as described herein) located in Los Angeles, California shall, subject to the arbitration agreement set forth in Section 12 above, be the sole forum for any action for relief arising out of or pursuant to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement consents to the personal jurisdiction and arbitration in such forum and courts and each party hereto covenants not to, and waives any right to, seek a transfer of venue from such jurisdiction on any grounds. 
15.    LIMIT ON BENEFITS
(a)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, Employee under any other Company plan or agreement (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the “Benefits” for purposes of this Section 15) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Benefits shall be reduced (but not below 

Page 13 of 22

zero) if and to the extent that a reduction in the Benefits would result in Employee retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax), than if Employee received all of the Benefits (such reduced amount is referred to hereinafter as the “Limited Benefit Amount”). In such case, unless Employee has given prior written notice to the Company specifying a different order to effectuate the reduction of the Benefits (any such notice consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest thereunder), the Benefits shall be reduced or eliminated by first reducing or eliminating cash severance payments, then by reducing or eliminating other cash payments, then by reducing or eliminating those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined). Any notice given by Employee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing Employee’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.
(b)    A determination as to whether the Benefits shall be reduced to the Limited Benefit Amount pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Limited Benefit Amount shall be made by Company’s independent public accountants or another certified public accounting firm of national reputation designated by Lions Gate (the “Accounting Firm”). Company and Employee shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to Company and Employee within five (5) days of the date of termination of Employee’s employment, if applicable, or such other time as requested by Company or Employee (provided Employee reasonably believes that any of the Benefits may be subject to the Excise Tax), and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Employee with respect to any Benefits, Company and Employee shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to furnish Employee with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Employee that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Benefits. Unless Employee provides written notice to Company within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to Employee that he disputes such Determination, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon Company and Employee.
16.    SECTION 409A
(a)    It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code (including the Treasury regulations and other published guidance relating thereto) (“Code Section 409A”) so as not to subject Employee to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Code Section 409A.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted to avoid the imputation of any such additional tax, penalty or interest under Code Section 409A yet preserve (to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to Employee. 
(b)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of Employee’s separation from service (as defined above), Employee shall not be entitled to 

Page 14 of 22

any payment or benefits pursuant to Section 7(a)(v) until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after Employee’s separation from service for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of Employee’s death.  Any amounts otherwise payable to Employee upon or in the six (6) month period following Employee’s separation from service that are not so paid by reason of this paragraph shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after Employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the date of Employee’s death).  The provisions of this paragraph shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Code Section 409A. 
(c)    To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement are taxable to Employee, any such reimbursement payment shall be paid to Employee on or before the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred.  The benefits and reimbursements pursuant to such provisions are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits and reimbursements that Employee receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits or reimbursements that Employee receives in any other taxable year.
(d)    Each payment made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.

FORM OF GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT

1.    Release by Executive.  [____________] (“Executive”), on his own behalf and on behalf of his descendants, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors, and each of them, hereby acknowledges full and complete satisfaction of and releases and discharges and covenants not to sue Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”), its divisions, subsidiaries, parents, or affiliated corporations, past and present, and each of them, as well as its and their assignees, successors, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, representatives, attorneys, agents or employees, past or present, or any of them (individually and collectively, “Releasees”), from and with respect to any and all claims, agreements, obligations, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or in any way connected with Executive’s employment or any other relationship with or interest in the Company or the termination thereof, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claim for severance pay, profit sharing, bonus or similar benefit, pension, retirement, life insurance, health or medical insurance or any other fringe benefit, or disability, or any other claims, agreements, obligations, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of Releasees committed or omitted prior to the date of this General Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) set forth below, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California Labor Code Section 132a, the California Family Rights Act, or any other federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance, constitution or common law (collectively, the “Claims”); provided, however, that the foregoing release does not apply to any obligation of the Company to Executive pursuant to any of the following: (1) Section 5(c) and Sections 7(a)(v), 7(a)(vi) and 7(a)(vii), as applicable (and including any related provisions referred to in the applicable section), of the Employment Agreement dated as of [__________, 2015] by and between the Company and Executive (the “Employment Agreement”); (2) any equity-based awards previously granted by the Company to Executive, to the extent that such awards continue after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company in accordance with the applicable terms of such awards (including as set forth in the Employment Agreement); (3) any right to indemnification that Executive may have pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, its corporate charter or under any written indemnification agreement with the Company (or any corresponding provision of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) with respect to any loss, damages or expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees to the extent otherwise provided) that Executive may in the future incur with respect to his service as an employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; (4) with respect to any rights that Executive may have to insurance coverage for such losses, damages or expenses under any Company (or subsidiary or affiliate) directors and officers liability insurance policy; (5) any rights to continued medical and dental coverage that Executive may have under COBRA; (6) any rights to payment of benefits that Executive may have under a retirement plan sponsored or maintained by the Company that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; 

Page 17 of 22

or (7) any deferred compensation or supplemental retirement benefits that Executive may be entitled to under a nonqualified deferred compensation or supplemental retirement plan of the Company.  In addition, this release does not cover any Claim that cannot be so released as a matter of applicable law.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Executive from filing a charge with or participating in an investigation conducted by any state or federal government agencies.  Executive does waive, however, the right to receive any monetary or other recovery, should any agency or any other person pursue any claims on Executive’s behalf arising out of any claim released pursuant to this Agreement.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has received any and all leave and other benefits that he has been and is entitled to pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.  
2.    Acknowledgement of Payment of Wages.  Except for accrued vacation (which the parties agree totals approximately [____] days of pay) and salary for the current pay period, Executive acknowledges that he has received all amounts owed for his regular and usual salary (including, but not limited to, any bonus (other than a bonus that is to be paid at a later date pursuant to the Employment Agreement), severance, or other wages), and usual benefits through the date of this Agreement.
3.    Waiver of Civil Code Section 1542.  This Agreement is intended to be effective as a general release of and bar to each and every Claim hereinabove specified.  Accordingly, Executive hereby expressly waives any rights and benefits conferred by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar provision of any other applicable state law as to the Claims.  Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides:  
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO A CLAIM WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”  
Executive acknowledges that he later may discover claims, demands, causes of action or facts in addition to or different from those which Executive now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this Agreement, may have materially affected its terms.  Nevertheless, Executive hereby waives, as to the Claims, any claims, demands, and causes of action that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims, demands, causes of action or facts.
4.    ADEA Waiver.  Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that by entering into this Agreement, he is waiving any and all rights or claims that he may have arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), which have arisen on or before the date of execution of this Agreement.  Executive further expressly acknowledges and agrees that:
(i)    In return for this Agreement, he will receive consideration beyond that which he was already entitled to receive before entering into this Agreement;

Page 18 of 22

(ii)    He is hereby advised in writing by this Agreement to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement;
(iii)    He was given a copy of this Agreement on [____________] and informed that he had twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement and that if he wished to execute this Agreement prior to expiration of such 21-day period, he should execute the Acknowledgement and Waiver attached hereto as Exhibit A-1; 
(iv)    Nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Executive from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or costs from doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law; and
(v)    He was informed that he has seven (7) days following the date of execution of this Agreement in which to revoke this Agreement, and this Agreement will become null and void if Executive elects revocation during that time.  Any revocation must be in writing and must be received by the Company during the seven-day revocation period.  In the event that Executive exercises his right of revocation, neither the Company nor Executive will have any obligations under this Agreement.
5.    No Transferred Claims.  Executive represents and warrants to the Company that he has not heretofore assigned or transferred to any person not a party to this Agreement any released matter or any part or portion thereof.
6.    Miscellaneous.  The following provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement:
(a)    Number and Gender.  Where the context requires, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and any gender shall include all other genders.
(b)    Section Headings.  The section headings of, and titles of paragraphs and subparagraphs contained in, this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation thereof. 
(c)    Governing Law.  This Agreement, and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement, as well as the legal relations hereby created between the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed under, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, notwithstanding any California or other conflict of law provision to the contrary.  
(d)    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

Page 19 of 22

(e)    Modifications.  This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by a formal, definitive written agreement expressly referring to this Agreement, which agreement is executed by both of the parties hereto.
(f)    Waiver.  No waiver of any breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed to be, nor shall be, a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement.  No waiver shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the party waiving the breach.
(g)    Arbitration.  Any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions of the Employment Agreement. 
(h)    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart, when executed, shall have the efficacy of a signed original.  Photographic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose.

 Exhibit 10.1 

TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT 

This TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT, dated as of November 18, 2015 (this “Agreement”), is among TransDigm Group
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Hook Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the undersigned stockholders of
Breeze-Eastern Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (each a, “Stockholder” and together, the “Stockholders”). 

WHEREAS, each Stockholder beneficially owns (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) the number of shares of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule I hereto; 

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company propose to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as the same
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), to provide for (i) the making of a cash tender offer (such cash tender offer, as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock, and (ii) following the consummation of the Offer, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as
the surviving corporation (the “Merger”); 
 WHEREAS, as an inducement to and condition to the willingness of Parent and
Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that the Stockholders enter into this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS,
capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Agreement to Tender. 

(a) Each Stockholder hereby agrees to validly tender or cause to be tendered in the Offer all shares of Company Common Stock currently
beneficially owned by such Stockholder and any additional shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such Stockholder becomes the beneficial owner (including, without limitation, by purchase, by the exercise of Company Stock Options or
otherwise) after the date of this Agreement (collectively, but excluding any shares that are disposed of in compliance with Section 7(b), the “Subject Shares”) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer no
later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by such Stockholder of all documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer, including the letter of transmittal in the case of certificated Subject Shares.
In furtherance of the foregoing, at the time of such tender, each Stockholder shall (i) deliver to the Disbursing Agent designated in the Offer (A) a letter of 

 
transmittal with respect to the Subject Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (B) a certificate or certificates representing the Subject Shares or an “agent’s message”
(or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Disbursing Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of any Subject Shares and (C) all other documents or instruments, to the extent applicable, in the form required
to be delivered by the other stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer, and/or (ii) instruct its broker or such other Person that is the holder of record of any Subject Shares to tender such Subject Shares pursuant to and
in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Each Stockholder agrees that once the Subject Shares are tendered, such Stockholder will not withdraw or cause to be withdrawn any of the Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall
have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 13. 
 (b) If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or the
Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the Acceptance Date, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause the Disbursing Agent to return, all tendered Shares to the registered holders of the Shares tendered in the Offer (and in
connection with the foregoing, Merger Sub shall direct the Disbursing Agent to so return such tendered Shares within three (3) Business Days of any such termination or withdrawal). 

2. Voting of Subject Shares; Irrevocable Proxy. 

(a) At every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, or as part of or in
connection with any action by written consent in lieu of meeting of stockholders of the Company, each Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, vote, or express consent or dissent with respect to, the
Subject Shares (to the extent that any of the Subject Shares are not purchased in the Offer) (i) against (A) any agreement or arrangement related to or in furtherance of any Acquisition Proposal, (B) any other transaction the
consummation of which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or interfere with the Offer or the Merger, or (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in (x) a breach
of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of such Stockholder under this Agreement or (y) the failure of any Tender Offer Condition to be satisfied, and (ii) in favor of any other matter necessary for
consummation of the Transactions, which is considered at any such meeting of stockholders, and in connection therewith to execute any documents reasonably requested by Parent that are necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the foregoing.

 (b) Each Stockholder, revoking (or causing to be revoked) any proxies that it has heretofore granted, hereby irrevocably appoints Parent
as attorney-in-fact and proxy for and on behalf of such Stockholder, for and in the name, place and stead of such Stockholder, to: (i) attend any and all stockholder meetings of the Company with respect to the matters set forth in
Section 2(a); (ii) vote, express consent or dissent or issue instructions to the record holder to vote, express consent or dissent with respect to the Subject Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(a) at
any such meeting; and (iii) grant or withhold, or issue instructions to the record holder to grant or withhold, consistent with the provisions of Section 2(a), all written consents with respect to the Subject Shares. The foregoing
proxy shall be deemed to be a proxy coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall not be terminated by operation of law or 

  
 2 

 
upon the occurrence of any other event other than the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13. Each Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth
in this Section 2(b) is given in connection with and granted in consideration of and as an inducement to Parent entering into the Merger Agreement and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the obligations of such Stockholder
under Section 2(a) hereof. The irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 2(b) is executed and intended to be irrevocable, subject, however, to automatic termination, upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 13. Parent agrees not to exercise the proxy granted herein for any purpose other than the purposes described in this Agreement. 

3. Documentation and Information. No Stockholder shall make any public announcement regarding this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Parent, except as may be required by Applicable Law. Each Stockholder (a) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Parent of such Stockholder’s
identity and holdings of Subject Shares, the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of this Agreement) and any other information, in
each case, that Parent reasonably determines is required to be disclosed by Applicable Law (based on the advice of outside legal counsel) in any press release, the Offer Documents, the Company’s Schedule 14D-9 (in each case, including all
schedules and documents filed with the SEC) or any other disclosure document in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions and (b) agrees to promptly give to Parent and the Company any information they may reasonably
require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents. Parent agrees to provide Stockholders and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the disclosures with respect to the Stockholders authorized by the previous
sentence, and will give good faith consideration to any comments raised by the Stockholders and their counsel; provided, however, that Parent will not be required to provide any Stockholder or its counsel the opportunity to review any
disclosures authorized by the previous sentence if the information with respect to such Stockholder in such disclosures has previously been publicly filed in compliance with the foregoing provisions. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall limit the
ability of a Stockholder to make announcements to its respective limited partners that are consistent in all material respects with prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Stockholder agrees to promptly notify
Parent of any required corrections with respect to any information supplied by such Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any
material respect. Parent and Merger Sub agree to promptly give to each Stockholder any information regarding Parent and Merger Sub that such Stockholder reasonably requires for the preparation of any documents that such Stockholder is required to
file with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the filing of any Schedules 13D or 13G or amendments to Schedules 13D or 13G and filings under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. 

4. No Solicitation of Acquisition Proposals. During the Agreement Period, each Stockholder shall not, and shall not knowingly
permit any director, partner, officer, employee, accountant, consultant, legal counsel, investment banker, financial advisor, broker, finder or agent or other representative (each, a “Representative”) of such Stockholder to
(a) directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage or facilitate any inquiry, offer or proposal with respect to, or that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or a

  
 3 

 
proposal to acquire any of the Subject Shares (except in connection with a Transfer of Subject Shares that is permitted under Section 7(b)) or (b) directly or indirectly, enter
into, continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or provide information to any Person with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition
Proposal or a proposal to acquire any of the Subject Shares (except in connection with a Transfer of Subject Shares that is permitted under Section 7(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4 shall not (x) require the
Stockholders to attempt to limit or restrict any Representative that is an officer or director of the Company from acting in such person’s capacity as an officer or director of the Company, as provided in Section 9 hereof, or
(y) prevent any Representative of a Stockholder from providing any analytical support services to the Company or its Board of Directors in connection with the process contemplated by Section 6.3(c) of the Merger Agreement. 

5. Representations and Warranties of Stockholders. Each Stockholder represents and warrants (severally and not
jointly) to Parent and Merger Sub as follows (it being understood that, except where expressly stated to be given or made as of the date hereof only, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be made as of the date hereof,
as of the Acceptance Date and, if the Subject Shares have not been previously accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, as of the Effective Time): 

(a) Organization. Such Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization. 
 (b) Authorization. Such Stockholder has all requisite corporate, limited liability company, partnership or trust
power and authority to enter into and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by such Stockholder of this Agreement and the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company, partnership or trust action on the part of such Stockholder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and, assuming its due and valid
authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general principles of equity. 

(c) No Violation. 
 (i)
The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder will not, (A) conflict with, or result in violation of any provision of its certificate or articles
of incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational documents, (B) violate, or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise,
would constitute a default) under, or entitle any party (with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise) to terminate, accelerate, modify or call a default under, or result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or
encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of such Stockholder under any of the terms, conditions or 

  
 4 

 
provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, contract, undertaking, agreement, lease or other instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or
(C) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5(c)(ii), violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Stockholder or its properties or assets, except, in the case of
clauses (B) and (C), for such matters as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, delay, impair or otherwise adversely affect, in each case, in any material respect, the ability of such Stockholder to
perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (ii) No action or consent or approval of, or
review by, or registration or filing by such Stockholder with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder or the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations
hereunder, except for filings that may be required under the HSR Act or any other applicable Competition Law or under federal securities law, including the filing with the SEC of any Schedules 13D or 13G or amendments to Schedules 13D or 13G and
filings under Section 16 of the Exchange Act as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. 

(d) Ownership of Subject Shares. As of the date hereof, such Stockholder is, and (except with respect to any Subject Shares Transferred
in accordance with Section 7(b) or accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer) at all times during the Agreement Period (as defined below) will be, the beneficial owner of, and have good and marketable title to, such Subject Shares with
no restrictions on such Stockholder’s rights of disposition pertaining thereto. Other than as provided in this Agreement (including as set forth on Schedule I hereto), such Stockholder has, and (except with respect to any Subject Shares
Transferred in accordance with Section 7(b)) at all times during the Agreement Period will have, the sole power, directly or indirectly, to vote, dispose of, exercise and convert, as applicable, the Subject Shares, and to demand or waive
any appraisal rights or issue instructions pertaining to the Subject Shares with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights (except as imposed by Applicable Law
or pursuant to Company policies and procedures governing trading in the Company’s securities), and, as such, has, and (except with respect to any Subject Shares Transferred in accordance with Section 7(b)) at all times during the
Agreement Period will have, the complete and exclusive power to, directly or indirectly, (i) issue (or cause the issuance of) instructions with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, (ii) agree to all matters set forth in this
Agreement and (iii) demand and waive any applicable appraisal or dissent rights. Except to the extent of any Subject Shares acquired after the date hereof (which shall become Subject Shares upon that acquisition), the number of shares of the
Company Common Stock set forth on the signature page hereof are the only shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by such Stockholder on the date of this Agreement. Other than the Subject Shares, such Stockholder does not own any shares of
Company Common Stock or any options to purchase or rights to subscribe for or otherwise acquire any securities of the Company and has no interest in or voting rights with respect to any securities of the Company. Except as provided in this
Agreement, there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, to which Stockholder is a party obligating such Stockholder to Transfer or cause to be Transferred, any of the Subject Shares. Except pursuant to this
Agreement, no Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Subject Shares. 

  
 5 

 (e) No Proxies. Except as set forth on Schedule I hereto, none of the Subject
Shares are subject to any voting agreement or proxy. 
 (f) Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Action pending
against, or, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, threatened against or otherwise affecting, such Stockholder or any of its properties or assets (including the Subject Shares) that could reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the
ability of Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis. 
 (g)
Opportunity to Review; Reliance. Such Stockholder has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement and this Agreement with counsel of its own choosing. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, or their respective counsel, has provided
advice to such Stockholder with respect to this Agreement or the validity or effect of this Agreement. Such Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such
Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. 
 (h) Finders’ Fees. No investment banker, broker,
finder or other intermediary is entitled to a fee or commission from Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in respect of this Agreement based upon any arrangement or agreement made by or on behalf of such Stockholder in its or his capacity as such. 

6. Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby, jointly and severally,
represent and warrant to the Stockholders, as of the date hereof and as of the Acceptance Date, that (a) such party is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization,
(b) such party has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, (c) the execution and delivery by such party of this Agreement and the consummation by such
party of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such party and (d) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such
party in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general
principles of equity. 
 7. No Proxies for or Encumbrances on Subject Shares. 

(a) Except pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, during the Agreement Period, each Stockholder shall not (nor shall it permit any Person
under such Stockholder’s control to), without the prior written consent of Parent, directly or indirectly, (i) grant any proxies, powers of attorney, rights of first offer or refusal, or enter into any voting trust or voting agreement or
arrangement with respect to any Subject Shares, (ii) sell (including short sell), assign, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, grant a participation interest in, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (each, a
“Transfer”) any Subject Shares, (iii) otherwise permit any encumbrance to be created on any Subject Shares, or (iv) enter into any contract, agreement, option, instrument or other arrangement or understanding with respect
to the direct or 

  
 6 

 
indirect Transfer of any Subject Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, customary arrangements with respect to Subject Shares that are held in margin accounts as of the date hereof and that would
not prevent, impair or delay any Stockholder’s ability to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not be deemed to violate the restrictions contained in the previous sentence. Each Stockholder shall not, and shall not permit
any Person under such Stockholder’s control or any of its or their respective representatives to, seek or solicit any such Transfer or any such contract, agreement, option, instrument or other arrangement or understanding. Except to the extent
permitted under the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder shall not take any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere in any material respect with the performance of such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or the Transactions.

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Subject Shares to a
Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder if and only if such Permitted Transferee shall have agreed in writing, in a manner reasonably acceptable in form and substance to Parent, (i) to accept such Subject Shares subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and (ii) to be bound by this Agreement and to agree and acknowledge that such Person shall constitute a Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement. “Permitted Transferee” means any affiliate of
a Stockholder. 
 (c) During the Agreement Period, each Stockholder hereby authorizes Parent and Merger Sub to direct the Company to impose
stop orders to prevent the Transfer of any Subject Shares on the books of the Company in violation of this Agreement. 
 8. Waiver of
Appraisal Rights. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, on its own behalf or on behalf of any other holder of Company Common Stock, any rights of appraisal, any dissenters’
rights or any similar rights relating to the Merger that such Stockholder may have by virtue of, or with respect to, any Subject Shares. 

9. Directors and Officers. This Agreement shall apply to each Stockholder solely in its capacity as a holder of Company Common
Stock, Company Stock Options or other equity interests in the Company. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (or shall require a Stockholder to attempt to) (a) limit or restrict any
actions or omissions of a director or officer of the Company, including, without limitation, (i) in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company under Applicable Law, (ii) in his or her capacity as a
trustee or fiduciary of any of the Company’s Plans or trusts or (iii) in the exercise of his or her role as a director or officer of the Company in carrying out the process contemplated in Section 6.3(c) of the Merger Agreement or
(b) prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director or officer of the Company or any trustee or fiduciary of any of the Company’s Plans or trusts from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director,
officer, trustee or fiduciary. 
 10. Notices of Certain Events. Each Stockholder shall notify Parent of any development
occurring after the date hereof that causes, or that would reasonably be expected to cause, any breach of any of the representations and warranties of such Stockholder set forth in Section 5. Each Stockholder shall notify Parent of the
number of any new Subject Shares acquired by such Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof. Any such shares shall be subject to 

  
 7 

 
the terms of this Agreement as though owned by such Stockholder on the date hereof. Parent and Merger Sub shall notify each Stockholder of any development occurring after the date hereof that
causes, or that would reasonably be expected to cause, any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Section 6. 

11. Further Assurances. Parent, Merger Sub and each Stockholder will each execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and
delivered, all further documents and instruments and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Laws and
regulations, to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. 
 12. Certain Adjustments. In the event of a stock
split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Company Common Stock by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, readjustment, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Subject
Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in the
transaction. 
 13. Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and become void and of no further force
or effect on the earliest to occur of (a) the Acceptance Date, (b) the termination of this Agreement by written notice from Parent to the Stockholders, (c) any reduction of the Per Share Amount (except as provided in
Section 1.1(h) of the Merger Agreement), (d) a Change of Recommendation made in compliance with Section 6.3(c)(v) or (vi) of the Merger Agreement, (e) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms or
(f) a willful or intentional material breach by Parent of its obligations under his Agreement (the period from the date hereof through such time being referred to as the “Agreement Period”); provided that (i) this
Section 13 and the applicable definitional and interpretive provisions of Section 15 shall survive such termination and (ii) no such termination shall relieve or release any Stockholder, Parent or Merger Sub from any
obligations or liabilities arising out of its breach of this Agreement prior to its termination. 
 14. Stockholder
Obligations. The obligations of each Stockholder hereunder shall be several and not joint, and no Stockholder shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by any other Stockholder. Each of Parent and Merger Sub,
on the one hand, and each Stockholder, on the other hand, shall be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement against the other, and it shall not be necessary for any other Stockholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding
for such purpose. No Stockholder may enforce this Agreement against any other Stockholder party hereto. A default by any Stockholder of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall not relieve any other Stockholder of any of its
obligations to Parent and/or Merger Sub under this Agreement. 
 15. Miscellaneous.  

(a) Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time.

receipt, if delivered personally; when dispatched, if sent by facsimile, subject to confirmation of uninterrupted transmission by a transmission report; provided that any notice dispatched by facsimile after 17:00 hours (at the

  
 9 

 
place where facsimile is to be received) shall be deemed to have been received at 08:00 (at the place where facsimile is to be received) on the next Business Day; one day after being delivered to
the courier, if sent by overnight courier service. 
 (c) Amendment and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived during the Agreement Period (as defined below) if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the
waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law. In the event Parent amends or waives the terms and conditions of
any Tender and Support Agreement it has entered into with any other stockholder of the Company, the result of which would make the terms and conditions of such other Tender and Support Agreement more favorable to such stockholder than the terms and
conditions hereof are to the Stockholders, then Parent will offer to amend or waive the terms and conditions of this Agreement so they are no less favorable to the Stockholders than the terms and conditions of such other Tender and Support Agreement
are to such other stockholders. 
 (d) Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Neither Stockholder, on the one hand, nor Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, may assign or delegate this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder
(whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written approval of Parent or the Stockholders, as applicable. 
 (e)
Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (i) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether at
law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof, and the Transactions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
Delaware. 
 (ii) Each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware)
for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and covenants not to assert or plead any objection
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action, or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, 

  
 10 

 
action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties agrees that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
 (iii) Each of the parties
irrevocably consents to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the Offer or the Merger, on behalf of itself or its property, by the personal delivery of copies of such process to such
party. Nothing in this Section 15(e) shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. 

(f) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, MERGER SUB OR ANY STOCKHOLDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. 

(g) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or
other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so
long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not effected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to
affect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 

(h) Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy
at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any agreed court, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the
securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection therewith), specific performance being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled in accordance with this Agreement. Stockholder, on the one hand, and Parent and
the Merger Sub, on the other hand, hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by such party (or parties) or to
specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party (or parties) under this Agreement. 

(i) Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by or on behalf of the party incurring
such cost or expense, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated. 

  
 11 

 (j) Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts (and such counterparts may be transmitted electronically), which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. The parties may execute more than one copy of the Agreement, each of which shall constitute an original. This
Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this
Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). 

(k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 (l)
Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not
affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes”, or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without
limitation”. The meanings assigned to each term defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such term, and words denoting any gender shall include all genders. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined
or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or
consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. 

(m) No Presumption. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or
interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted. 
 (n) No Ownership Interest. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent or Merger Sub any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Subject Shares. All rights, ownership and economic
benefits of and relating to the Subject Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholders, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall have any authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate, govern or administer any of the policies or
operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct the Stockholders in the voting of any of the Subject Shares, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
