1 DRAFT Licensing and Merchandising Plan October 5, 2011

2 DRAFT page 1 Executive Summary Our responsibility for securing Smurfs merchandise licensees and retail space is limited to North American based companies and global “primary category” deals, for which we are compensated at 30% - 51% agency commissions Our go forward plan is to maximize the opportunity in these categories with additional headcount –5 additional FTEs at SPCP –Double Smurfs merch revenue –With a $600K annual investment in incremental headcount, increase SPE’s Smurf merch revenue from $6.3MM (Smurfs 1) to $12.8MM (Smurfs 2) on an ultimate basis  Domestic (which we drive) from $4.0MM to $8.2MM  International (which is a passive interest) from $2.3MM to $4.6MM We will attempt to restructure deal terms with Lafig that could ultimately drive upside for both parties and we have a reasonable chance of gaining their support –Release of frozen non-theatrical content rights (e.g., DTV, TV animation) –Establishment of CMF funded/co-funded by Lafig –Control of international retail management to SPE We will also request full control of international, with related commissions topped up to domestic levels, but Lafig is unlikely to accept unless it takes place between Smurfs 2 and Smurfs 3
