NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “Grant Date”), by and between STARZ, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the recipient (the “Grantee”) of an Award of Options granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company as set forth in this Agreement.

The Company has adopted the incentive plan identified on Schedule I hereto (as has been or may hereafter be amended, the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached via a link at the end of this online Agreement as Exhibit A (and which can also be accessed in the UBS online library) and by this reference made a part hereof, for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Compensation Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Plan to administer the Plan (the “Committee”) has determined that it would be in the interest of the Company and its stockholders to award Options to the Grantee, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan, in order to provide the Grantee with additional remuneration for services rendered, to encourage the Grantee to remain in the employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries and to increase the Grantee’s personal interest in the continued success and progress of the Company.

The Company and the Grantee therefore agree as follows:

1.Definitions. The following terms, when used in this Agreement, have the following meanings:

“Base Price” means the amount set forth on Schedule I hereto, which is the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date.

“Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in Denver, Colorado, are required or authorized to be closed.

“Cause” has the meaning specified as “cause” in Section 10.2(b) of the Plan.

“Committee” has the meaning specified in the recitals to this Agreement.

2.Award. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and in consideration of the covenants and promises of the Grantee herein contained, the Company hereby awards to the Grantee as of the Grant Date nonqualified stock options to purchase from the Company at the Base Price the number of shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock (“Common Stock”) authorized by the Committee and set forth in the notice of online grant delivered to the Grantee pursuant to the Company’s online grant and administration program, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan (the “Options”). The Options are exercisable as set forth in Section 3 during the period commencing on the Grant Date and expiring at the Close of Business on the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Term”) subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 7 below. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issuable upon exercise of an Option, and the Grantee will receive, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock that the Grantee otherwise would receive upon such exercise, cash equal to the fraction representing such fractional share multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock as of the date on which such exercise is considered to occur pursuant to Section 4.

3.Conditions of Exercise. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Options will be exercisable only in accordance with the conditions stated in this Section 3.

a.Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.1(b) of the Plan, the Options may be exercised only to the extent they have become exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), and subject to the provisions of Section 3(c). That number of Options that is equal to the fraction or percentage specified on Schedule I hereto (the “Vesting Percentage”) of the total number of Options that are subject to this Agreement, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole number of such Options, shall become exercisable on each of the dates specified on Schedule I hereto (each such date, together with any other date on which Options vest pursuant to this Agreement, a “Vesting Date”).

(a)If rounding pursuant to Section 3(a) prevents any portion of an Option from becoming exercisable on a particular Vesting Date (any such portion, an “Unvested Fractional

Option”), one additional Option to purchase a share of Common Stock will become exercisable on the earliest succeeding Vesting Date on which the cumulative fractional amount of all Unvested Fractional Options to purchase shares of Common Stock (including any Unvested Fractional Option created on such succeeding Vesting Date) equals or exceeds one whole Option, with any excess treated as an Unvested Fractional Option thereafter subject to the application of this Section 3(b). Any Unvested Fractional Option comprising part of a whole Option that vests pursuant to the preceding sentence will thereafter cease to be an Unvested Fractional Option.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) in the event that any date on which Options would otherwise become exercisable is not a Business Day, such Options will become exercisable on the first Business Day following such date;

(ii) all Options will become exercisable on the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment if (A) the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability or (B) the Grantee dies while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary;

(iii) if the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary without Cause, or if the Grantee voluntarily terminates the Grantee’s employment pursuant to a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason (each, a “Protected Termination”) and the Protected Termination occurs (A) within the 30-day period immediately preceding the closing date of an Approved Transaction in which any Options that remain outstanding and unvested as of such closing date are not otherwise accelerated in connection with such Approved Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Plan or (B) prior to the first anniversary of the closing date of an Approved Transaction in which any Options that remain outstanding and unvested as of such closing date are not otherwise accelerated in connection with such Approved Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Plan, then, effective as of the date of such Protected Termination, any Options that remain outstanding and unvested as of such termination date will become exercisable on such termination date; and

(iv) if the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary without Cause (other than a termination without Cause covered by Section 3(c)(iii) above), then any Options that are unvested as of the date of such termination of employment and that would have become exercisable during the 90-day period immediately following the date of such termination of employment had the Grantee continued to be employed during such 90-day period will become exercisable on the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment.

(c)To the extent the Options become exercisable, such Options may be exercised in whole or in part (at any time or from time to time, except as otherwise provided herein) until expiration of the Term or earlier termination thereof.

(d)The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Committee, in its discretion and as contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Plan, may adopt rules and regulations from time to time after the date hereof with respect to the exercise of the Options and that the exercise by the Grantee of Options will be subject to the further condition that such exercise is made in accordance with all such rules and regulations as the Committee may determine are applicable thereto.

(e)For purposes of this Agreement, a “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason” means a voluntary termination by the Grantee of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries upon the occurrence of any of the following events without the Grantee’s prior consent:

(i) a significant reduction in the Grantee’s then current base salary (defined as the Grantee’s weekly base pay in effect for the payroll period during which the Grantee’s employment is terminated or, if the Grantee is a part-time employee, the Grantee’s average weekly wages from the Company for the most recent 8 weeks during which the Grantee worked at least two days, but not including in either case, overtime, bonuses, commissions, piece rate, incentive pay or taxable or nontaxable fringe benefits or payments);

(ii) a significant reduction in the Grantee’s title, duties or reporting relationship with the Grantee’s employer or the assignment to the Grantee of duties that are inconsistent with the Grantee’s position with the Grantee’s employer; or

(iii) the relocation of the Grantee’s primary place of employment to a location that is more than 50 miles from the Grantee’s primary place of employment as of the Grantee’s termination date.

No termination shall constitute a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason unless all of the following provisions shall have been complied with: (i) the Grantee shall have given the Company written notice of the Grantee’s intention to effect a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason, such notice to state in detail the particular circumstances that constitute the grounds on which the proposed Voluntary Termination for Good Reason is based and to be given no later than 90 days after the initial occurrence of such circumstances; (ii) the Company shall have 30 days after receiving such notice in which to cure such grounds; and (iii) if the Company fails, within such 30-day period, to cure such grounds to the Grantee’s reasonable satisfaction, the Grantee terminates the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries within 30 days following the last day of such 30-day period. If the Company timely cures such grounds in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Grantee shall not be entitled to terminate the Grantee’s employment pursuant to a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason based on such grounds.

4. Manner of Exercise. Options will be considered exercised (as to the number of Options specified in the notice referred to in Section 4(c)(i)) on the latest of (a) the date of exercise designated in the written notice referred to in Section 4(c)(i), (b) if the date so designated is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such date or (c) the earliest Business Day by which the Company has received all of the following:

(i) Written notice, in such form as the Committee may require, containing such representations and warranties as the Committee may require and designating, among other things, the date of exercise and the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by exercise of Options (each, an “Option Share”);

(ii) Payment of the Base Price for each Option Share in any (or a combination) of the following forms: (A) cash, (B) check, (C) the delivery, together with a properly executed exercise notice, of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Base Price (and, if applicable, the Required

Withholding Amount as described in Section 5) or (D) the delivery of irrevocable instructions via the Company’s online grant and administration program for the Company to withhold the number of shares of Common Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date of exercise) required to pay the Base Price (and, if applicable, the Required Withholding Amount as described in Section 5) that would otherwise be delivered by the Company to the Grantee upon exercise of the Options; and

(iii) Any other documentation that the Committee may reasonably require.

5.Mandatory Withholding for Taxes. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will deduct from the shares of Common Stock otherwise payable or deliverable upon exercise of any Options that number of shares of Common Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount of all federal, state and other governmental taxes required to be withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company upon such exercise, as determined by the Company (the “Required Withholding Amount”), unless provisions to pay such Required Withholding Amount have been made to the satisfaction of the Company. If the Grantee elects to make payment of the Base Price by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Base Price, such instructions may also include instructions to deliver the Required Withholding Amount to the Company. In such case, the Company will notify the broker promptly of its determination of the Required Withholding Amount.

6.Payment or Delivery by the Company. As soon as practicable after receipt of all items referred to in Section 4, and subject to the withholding referred to in Section 5, the Company will (a) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Grantee certificates issued in the Grantee’s name for, or cause to be transferred to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Grantee, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by exercise of Options and (b) deliver any cash payment to which the Grantee is entitled in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock as provided in Section 2. Any delivery of shares of Common Stock will be deemed effected for all purposes when certificates representing such shares have been delivered personally to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, when the stock transfer agent of the Company has deposited the certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee or at the time the stock transfer agent initiates transfer of shares to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Grantee, if applicable, and any cash payment will be deemed effected when a check from the Company, payable to the Grantee and in the amount equal to the amount of the cash payment, has been delivered personally to the Grantee or deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee.

7.Early Termination of Options. The Options will terminate, prior to the expiration of the Term, at the time specified below:

a.Subject to Section 7(b), if the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated other than (i) by the Company or such Subsidiary for Cause or (ii) by reason of death or Disability, then the Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the 90-day period that began on the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment.

b.If the Grantee dies while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, or prior to the expiration of a period of time following termination of the Grantee’s employment during which the Options remain exercisable as provided in Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), as applicable, the Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the one-year period that began on the date of the Grantee’s death.

c.Subject to Section 7(b), if the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, then the Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the one-year period that began on the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment.

d.If the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary for Cause, then the Options will terminate immediately upon such termination of the Grantee’s employment.

In any event in which Options remain exercisable for a period of time following the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment as provided above, the Options may be exercised during such period of time only to the extent the same were exercisable as provided in Section 3 on such date of termination of the Grantee’s employment. Notwithstanding any period of time referenced in this Section 7 or any other provision of this Section 7 that may be construed to the contrary, the Options will in any event terminate upon the expiration of the Term.

Unless the Committee otherwise determines, a change of the Grantee’s employment from the Company to a Subsidiary or from a Subsidiary to the Company or another Subsidiary will not be considered a termination of the Grantee’s employment for purposes of this Agreement if such change of employment is made at the request or with the express consent of the Company. Unless the Committee otherwise determines, however, any such change of employment that is not made at the request or with the express consent of the Company will be a termination of the Grantee’s employment within the meaning of this Agreement.

8.Nontransferability. Options are not transferable (either voluntarily or involuntarily), before or after the Grantee’s death, except as follows: (a) during the Grantee’s lifetime, pursuant to a domestic relations order, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, that is not contrary to the terms and conditions of the Plan or this Agreement, and in a form acceptable to the Committee; or (b) after the Grantee’s death, by will or pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution, as may be the case. Any person to whom Options are transferred in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall take such Options subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including that the vesting and termination provisions of this Agreement will continue to be applied with respect to the Grantee. Options are exercisable only by the Grantee (or, during the Grantee’s lifetime, by the Grantee’s court appointed legal representative) or a person to whom the Options have been transferred in accordance with this Section.

9.No Stockholder Rights. Prior to the exercise of Options in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Grantee will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or to have any of the rights of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by the Options, nor will the existence of this Agreement affect in any

way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to accomplish any corporate act, including, without limitation, the acts referred to in Section 10.16 of the Plan.


10.	Adjustments.

a.The Options will be subject to adjustment (including, without limitation, as to the Base Price) in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable and appropriate in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4.2 of the Plan following the Grant Date.

b.In the event of any Approved Transaction, Board Change or Control Purchase following the Grant Date, the Options may become exercisable in accordance with Section 10.1(b) of the Plan.

11.Restrictions Imposed by Law. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.8 of the Plan, the Grantee will not exercise the Options, and the Company will not be obligated to make any cash payment or issue or cause to be issued any shares of Common Stock, if counsel to the Company determines that such exercise, payment or issuance would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted. The Company will in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Options or the resulting payment of cash or issuance of shares of Common Stock to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.

12.Notice. Unless the Company notifies the Grantee in writing of a different procedure or address, any notice or other communication to the Company with respect to this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered personally or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the following address:

14.Grantee Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action of the Company or the Committee with respect hereto, will confer or be construed to confer on the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any employing Subsidiary to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the provisions of any employment agreement between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary.

16.Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Colorado. Each party irrevocably submits to the general jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Colorado in any action to interpret or enforce this Agreement and irrevocably waives any objection to jurisdiction that such party may have based on inconvenience of forum.
