Marsh View PropertyExhibit
10.1

EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT

Agreement, made as of this 3rd day of October, 2006 (“Effective
Date”), between Crown Media Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with
offices at 12700 Ventura Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 91604 (“Employer”)
and Henry Schleiff (“Employee”).

WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ Employee as
provided herein and Employee desires to be employed by Employer upon the terms
and conditions set forth:

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as
follows: 

1.             Employment
Duties.

                (a)
As of the Effective Date, Employer hereby employs and Employee agrees to serve
as President and Chief Executive Officer reporting solely and directly to the
Board of Directors of Employer. Employee agrees to perform such services
consistent with Employee’s position as shall, from time to time, be reasonably
assigned to Employee. Employee shall use Employee’s best efforts to promote the
interests of Employer and shall devote Employee’s full business time, energy
and skill exclusively to the business and affairs of Employer during the “Term”
(as “Term” is defined in Paragraph 2 below); it being understood, however that
Employee may devote reasonable time to charitable activities, educational and
industry events.

(b)           Employee’s primary duties shall be to
act as the chief executive officer and operating head of Employer responsible
for administering the approved annual budget and directing the overall
development of Employer’s business subject to the guidance of the Board of
Directors. During the course of Employee’s employment hereunder, Employer may
create or utilize subsidiary companies to conduct the activities and businesses
of Employer. Employer shall have the right, without additional compensation to Employee,
to loan or make available Employee’s services to any such subsidiary, provided
that his duties as an officer of such subsidiary shall be consistent with his
duties hereunder. Employee further agrees that all the terms of this Employment
Agreement shall be applicable to Employee’s services for each such entity. All
employees of the Company, including employees of any such subsidiaries, shall
report to Employee or his designees. 

2.             Term
of Employment. The term of Employee’s
employment (“Term”) with Employer shall commence on the Effective Date and
shall end on the day before the fourth (4th)

 

 

 

anniversary of the
Effective Date, unless terminated earlier as provided in Paragraph 8 of this
Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) or extended by mutual agreement of the
parties.

3.             Compensation.

                (a)           Salary. As
compensation for Employee’s services hereunder, Employer shall pay to Employee
a base salary at the annual rate of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with a
minimum four percent (4%) annual increase each year on the anniversary date of
the Effective Date of this Agreement.

                (b)           Performance Bonus. So long as Employee is employed through each year end (or
through the end of the Term for the final year of the Agreement), then
following the end of each calendar year during the Term, Employee is eligible
to be paid an annual performance bonus, to be prorated for partial calendar
years. The target bonus will be 100% of base salary for the applicable period,
with a potential payout range of 0% to 200%, with a minimum guarantee of 50%
for each year of the Term (subject to proration for partial years).
Accordingly, for 2006, Employee will receive a pro-rata bonus, and thereafter
the bonus will be determined on a calendar year basis. The bonus will be based
on achievement of criteria determined by the Crown Media Compensation Committee
in consultation with Employee and will include such factors as improved EBITDA,
demographics, operating cash, MSO renewal progress, ad revenue and appropriate
discretionary considerations. Such bonus will be paid to Employee on the date
following the applicable calendar year that Employer designates for payment of
bonuses to its employees in general, but in no event later than the next
following March 15.

                (c)           LTI-RSUs. Employer
will award to Employee Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) in an RSU agreement
(attached as Schedule B) and pursuant to the terms of and conditions of the
Amended and Restated Crown Media Holdings, Inc. 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan
(attached as Schedule C).

                (d)           LTI-SARs. Employer
will award to Employee Stock Appreciation Rights (“SAR”) pursuant to the terms
of the attached SAR Agreement (attached as Schedule D).

                (e)           Transaction Bonus. In the event a Change in Control (“CIC”) (as defined in
Schedule D) occurs during the first year of Employee’s employment, unless
Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 8(f) below, Employee
shall be entitled to a bonus in the amount of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000)
(“Transaction Bonus”). The Transaction Bonus will be increased by One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) for each succeeding

 

 2
 

 

 

year Employee remains
employed with Employer prior to a CIC through the fourth
year of this Agreement, up to a maximum of Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000).
Any such Transaction Bonus will be payable six (6) months after the date of the CIC. If Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to
Paragraph 8(a)(i) or 8(a)(ii) or Paragraph 8(b) below and (i) a CIC occurs
within ninety (90) days after such termination or (ii) an agreement that will
result in a CIC is executed by Employer prior to such termination and a CIC
occurs within one hundred-eighty (180) days after such termination then,
Employee shall be entitled to the applicable Transaction Bonus calculated on
the date (x) Employee’s employment terminates if such termination is pursuant
to Paragraph 8(a)(i) or 8(a)(ii) or (y) of the CIC if Employee’s employment is
terminated pursuant to Paragraph 8(b). Under no circumstances shall Employee be
entitled to any Transaction Bonus if his employment is terminated pursuant to
the provisions of Paragraph 8(a)(iii). Employee will require in any CIC that
the purchaser assume in writing liability for payment of the Transaction Bonus,
it being agreed that no such assumption by the purchaser shall relieve Employer
from responsibility for such payment, the full and timely payment of which will
be guaranteed by Employer without any need for Employee to exhaust remedies
against the purchaser in the event of non-payment.

                (f)            Withholding. All payments of salary shall be made in appropriate
installments to conform with the regular payroll dates for salaried personnel
of Employer. Employer shall be entitled to deduct from each payment of
compensation amounts required under applicable laws and for participation in
any employee benefit plans.

                (g)           Expenses. During
the Term, Employer shall pay or reimburse Employee on an accountable basis for
all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses for entertainment, travel,
meals, hotel accommodations, business periodicals, professional memberships,
cellphone and/or blackberry and other expenditures incurred by Employee in
connection with Employee’s services to Employer in accordance with Employer’s
expense account policies for its senior executive personnel.

                (h)           Fringe Benefits. During the Term, Employee shall be entitled to receive the
following fringe benefits: (i) group medical, dental, life and disability
insurance as per Employer policy; (ii) any other fringe benefits on terms that
are or may become available generally to senior executive level employees of
Employer. Employee shall also be entitled to four (4) weeks paid vacation for
each year of the Term, a car allowance of $1,667 a month, a

 3
 

 

 

financial consulting reimbursement of up to $5,000
per year, and may upgrade to first class airline travel when business class is
unavailable; provided, however, that under all circumstances, Employee shall be
entitled to first class airline travel between Los Angeles and New York.

4.             Place
of Employment. During the Term, Employee shall
be required to perform Employee’s duties at the offices of Employer in New York
City. Employee shall undertake reasonable travel required by Employer in
connection with the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, but Employee shall
not be required to relocate.

5.             Confidentiality, Intellectual Property; Name
and Likeness.

                (a)           Employee agrees that Employee will
not during the Term or thereafter divulge to anyone (other than Employer and
its executives, representatives and employees who need to know such information
or any persons designated by Employer) any knowledge or information of any type
whatsoever designated or treated as confidential by Employer relating to the
business of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including,
without limitation, all types of trade secrets, business strategies, marketing
and distribution plans as well as concrete proposals, plans, scripts,
treatments and formats described in subparagraph (b) below. Employee further
agrees that Employee will not disclose, publish or make use of any such
knowledge or information of a confidential nature (other than in the
performance of Employee’s duties hereunder) without the prior written consent
of Employer. This provision does not apply to information which becomes
available publicly without the fault of Employee or information which Employee
discloses in confidence to Employee’s own privileged representatives or is
required to disclose in legal proceedings, provided Employee gives advance
notice to the Executive Vice President, Legal and Business Affairs and General
Counsel of Employer and an opportunity to Employer to resist such disclosure in
legal proceedings.

                (b)           During the Term, Employee will
disclose to Employer all concrete proposals, plans, scripts, treatments, and
formats invented or developed by Employee during the Term which relate directly
or indirectly to the business of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates including, without limitation, any proposals and plans which may be
copyrightable, trademarkable, patentable or otherwise exploitable. Employee
agrees that all such proposals, plans, scripts, treatments and formats are and
will be the property of Employer. Employee further agrees, at Employer’s
request, to do whatever is necessary or desirable to secure for the

 

 4
 

 

 

Employer the rights to said proposals, plans,
scripts, treatments, and formats, whether by copyright, trademark, patent or
otherwise and to assign, transfer and convey the rights thereto to Employer at
Employer’s expense.

                (c)           Employer shall have the right in
perpetuity to use Employee’s name in connection with credits for programming,
properties and projects for which Employee performs any services pursuant to
this Agreement.

6.             Employee’s
Representations. Employee
represents and warrants that Employee has the right to enter into this
Agreement and is not subject to any contract, commitment, agreement,
arrangement or restriction of any kind which would prevent Employee from
performing Employee’s duties and obligations hereunder.

7.             Non-Competition;
No Raid.

                (a)           During the Term, Employee shall not
engage directly or indirectly, whether through self-employment or as an
employee, independent contractor, consultant, partner, shareholder or
otherwise, in a business or other endeavor which materially interferes with any
of Employee’s duties or obligations hereunder or which is directly competitive
with the primary business of the Employer or its subsidiaries including, but
not limited to, the basic cable distribution of entertainment programming. Both
parties recognize that the services to be rendered under this Agreement by
Employee are special, unique and extraordinary in character. In the event of a
breach of this Paragraph 7(a) by Employee or a claim by Employee pursuant to
this paragraph, both Employer and Employee shall have all of the remedies
available to Employer at law or in equity. Notwithstanding Paragraph 9 below,
Employee and Employer agree that temporary and permanent injunctive relief may
be sought by either in a court of law to enforce the provisions of this Paragraph
7 (a) and Paragraph 7 (b).

                (b)           Employee further agrees that during
the Term and for a period of one year thereafter, Employee will not (i) employ,
or attempt to employ or assist anyone else to employ, any person who is, at the
date of termination of Employee’s employment, working as an officer,
policymaker or in high-level creative development or distribution (including
without limitation executive employees) for or rendering substantially full-time
services as such to Employer, (ii) publicly disparage Employer or its Board of
Directors, individually or collectively, or (iii) interfere with Employer’s
relationships with suppliers, customers, or other organizations or

 

 5
 

 

individuals with which the Employer has a business
relationship or is pursuing a business relationship during the Term.

8.             Termination. 

                (a)           This
Agreement may be terminated and the Term ended on five (5) business days’
written notice for any one of the following reasons (except (i) in which case
termination shall occur on the date of death): 

                                (i)            The death of Employee; 

                                (ii)           A serious health condition of
Employee that incapacitates Employee (as defined under the Family Medical Leave
Act) for a period exceeding an aggregate of twelve (12) work weeks during any
twelve month period of the Term. For purposes of counting the aggregate work
weeks, days properly designated by Employee as vacation days shall not be
counted; 

                                (iii)          For “cause,” which for purposes of
this Agreement shall be defined as: 

                                                (A)          The illegal use of a controlled
substance, or the immoderate use of alcohol, either of which adversely,
materially affects Employee’s performance of Employee’s services under this
Agreement; 

                                                (B)           Employee’s commission of any act
which constitutes a felony under federal, state or local laws or the law of any
foreign country; 

                                                (C)           Employee’s persistent and material
failure or refusal after written notice to perform any of Employee’s duties and
responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement as determined by the Board of
Directors; 

                                                (D)          Employee’s dishonesty in financial
dealings with or on behalf of Employer, its subsidiaries, affiliates and parent
corporation or in connection with performance of Employee’s duties hereunder;
or 

                                                (E)           Employee’s material breach of any
provision of this Agreement which is not cured after written notice and
reasonable opportunity and time has been given to cure; provided, that no
opportunity need be given to cure if Employee’s breach is not curable. 

                                                (F)           Employee’s voluntary resignation
other than as permitted in Paragraph 8(c) and other than for Good Reason. For
purposes hereof, ‘Good Reason’ shall

 

 6
 

 

 

mean Employer’s material breach of any provision of
this Agreement which is not cured after written notice and twenty (20) business
days have been given to cure; provided that no opportunity need be given to
cure if Employer’s breach is not curable. Without limitation, events of Good
Reason shall include (i) a reduction of Employee’s title, reporting lines and/or
authority and (ii) a change of Employee’s principal place of business to
outside of New York City without Employee’s consent. A termination by Employee
for Good Reason will be treated in the manner described in Paragraph 8(d) and
in all other respects in precisely the same fashion as if Employee’s employment
had been terminated by Employer other than under Paragraph 8(a)(i), (ii) or
(iii), even if specific reference to a termination for Good Reason is not made
in any applicable provision. 

In the event of termination under Paragraph 8(a)(iii),
solely for purposes of Paragraph 7, the Term shall not be deemed terminated and
shall continue until the first to occur of twelve (12) months from termination
or the fourth (4th) anniversary
of the Effective Date. 

                                (b)           Employer shall also have the right to
terminate Employee at any time for any reason or no reason prior to the
expiration of the Term in addition to pursuant to Paragraph 8(a) above by
providing Employee with written notice. 

                                (c)           In the event of a CIC, Employee shall
have the right to terminate his employment six (6) months after the CIC occurs.

                                (d)           In the event of a termination
pursuant to Paragraph 8(b) or 8(c) or by Employee for Good Reason, Employee
shall not be entitled to any further compensation or benefits except (1) as may
be provided under the RSU and/or SAR Agreements (which shall be paid when due);
(2) the remaining base salary described in Paragraph 3(a) above for the balance
of the Term (as though no termination had occurred) (“Severance Period”), paid
in a lump sum within ten (10) days following such termination and discounted at
the lower of the “prime rate” or 120% of the applicable Federal rate (within
the meaning of Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code) to present value
at the time of payment; (3) vested ERISA benefits (e.g., 401k plan); (4)
benefits that may be required by law (e.g., COBRA); (5) pro rata bonus through the date Employee’s job duties end to be paid as
provided in paragraph 3(b) above; (6) a lump sum payment (discounted and paid
in accordance with clause 2 above) equal to fifty percent (50%) of performance bonuses due through the end of the Term, calculated at
target (to the extent not yet paid); and (7) if a CIC has occurred, any Transaction Bonus shall be paid within ten (10) days

 

 7
 

 

following such termination. Employee shall have no
obligation to seek comparable employment, and if Employee does accept other
employment during the Severance Period, there will be no offset by Employer
against the amounts payable under this Paragraph 8(d). If Employer terminates
Employee under Paragraph 8(b), Paragraph 7(a) shall not apply from the date of
termination. 

                                (e)           In the event that Employee’s
employment is terminated due to any of the reasons set forth in Paragraph 8(a)
above, Employee shall not be entitled to any further compensation or benefits
except as hereafter provided in this Paragraph 8(e). Employee shall be paid
Employee’s salary through the later of the expiration of the five (5) business days period referred to in Paragraph
8(a) or the end of the month in which the termination event occurs, after which
Employer’s obligation to pay salary to Employee shall terminate. Should
Employer terminate this Agreement due to medical absence as defined in paragraph
8(a)(ii) above, Employer shall continue to pay Employee base salary for a
period of six (6) months after the conclusion of the twelve (12) work weeks.
After making the payments provided for in this subparagraph, Employer shall
have no further obligations to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, except (1)
as may be provided under the RSU and SAR Agreements; (2) as provided under
Paragraph 3(e) (Transaction Bonus);(3) vested ERISA benefits; or (4) benefits
that may be required by law (e.g. COBRA).

                                (f)            If Employee is terminated for any
reason set forth in Paragraph 8(a)(iii) within the first six (6) months after a
