2. 2 CONFIDENTIAL NOTES FOR SPT INTERNAL DISCUSSION ONLY Fall 2007 –Sony BMG began negotiations to form a JV with Simon Cowell, buying into his revenues streams (appearance fees and artist revenues) associated with American Idol, X-Factor, and other shows –At the time, SPE provided a high-level overview of opportunities to partner with Simon that could complement (but not drive) the Sony BMG deal, including: (1) TV Production, (2) Film Production, (3) Crackle, (4) GSN Winter 2008 –We were asked to quantify the value of the TV/Crackle/GSN opportunities and estimated their value at $70-$100MM (see appendix A) –At this point, the TV production portion of the deal evolved from a small (e.g., $1.5MM overall deal) to a full blown JV with funding for several pilots per year June 2008 –R. Wiesenthal updated us in detail on a Sony BMG proposal that was being made to Simon without SPE (see appendix B) Today –We have been asked to update our list of partnership opportunities with Simon –The next 4 pages outline these opportunities and have been modified from the Fall 2007 version:  Eliminated the opportunity to receive equity in GSN (given 65% Liberty ownership)  Excluding quantification of opportunities until negotiations are further fleshed out (in prior iterations we were concerned about being asked to over-commit here)

5. 5 CONFIDENTIAL Sony would grant equity in Crackle as part of the venture [Note: We should discuss. This was previously based on the assumption of Sony BMG funding a portion of EBIT losses] Crackle would provide technology, infrastructure, and management team Partnership would include marketing support and music video distribution Simon would receive cash compensation for his services, including contribution of his expertise in developing the Network concept Simon would contribute his name and likeness, public relations support, and on-going interaction with audience members [Note: Crackle partnership likely no longer about audience talent; less like Idol] Crackle is a premier destination for online video, focused on high-quality short-form video Crackle is elevating the quality of online video and attracting the best creators of short-form video Crackle has attracted a large and loyal audience, making it the ideal destination to extend Simon’s brand online Crackle’s model is an ideal fit for identifying talent, with a brand built on offering fame-based incentives to emerging talent Preliminary Proposal for a Crackle-based Online Partnership Crackle Overview Deal Specifics With no cash investment, Simon would participate in creating the leading online destination for talent and extend his brand to a site that reflects his style of straight talk and celebrity

7. 7 CONFIDENTIAL Appendix A – Back-up from Fall 2007 / Winter 2008

8. 8 CONFIDENTIAL Estimated Value Ranges (As of Winter 2008) Deal Component Entity Value % to Simon / SBMG Implied Value Entity Value Basis Simon / SBMG Equity Basis Sony Pictures Television JV $45MM - $100MM 50% $22MM - $50MM 2 successful shows w/ network, sponsors, and syndication Funding for pilots required to yield 2 shows OH funding Based on % of development and OH funding provided Crackle$62.5MM 22.5% - 30% $15MM - $20MM Acquisition price 5% at close for cash 15.5% based on EBIT funding 7.5% based on financial milestones GSN $600MM - $700MM 5% $30MM - $35MM Negotiated value between Sony and Liberty Media Warrants Based on financial milestones Partnership opportunities with SPE would provide $70-100MM in equity plus additional income to Simon / Sony BMG Likely off the table Need to revisit

9. 9 CONFIDENTIAL TV Production Company Overview (As of Winter 2008) Reality Shows (e.g., America’s Got Talent, Cupid) Game Shows (e.g., Power of 10) Organizational Structure Business Model Content Focus $7 MM annually required for development budget, 6 pilots (50% license fees covered by networks), and overhead in Year 1; growing to $12 MM by Year 5 Only network shows assumed without need for deficit financing (i.e., no cable shows modeled) Reality shows assumed to generate incremental revenue from sponsorship and format sales Game shows assumed to generate incremental revenue from First Run Syndication, Advertising (syndication barter), and international format sales JV headed by Simon Cowell with 10 professionals in the first year growing to 20 professionals by Year 5 Wholly owned by SCA and SyCo (50/50 JV) Key Success Factors Pilot pickup rate throughout the plan period in line with industry averages (33%) Successful first run syndication of best game shows (e.g., Who Wants to be a Millionaire) Reality formats attract significant sponsorship ($20 MM/Year by Year 3) NewCo earns all EP fees at 10% of production budget (60-85% of PV) PV of production company cash flows ranges from $45 MM to $100 MM driven by Simon’s ability to continue to create exciting television content

10. 10 Slate Assumptions (As of Winter 2008) 6 pilots per year with a 33% pick-up rate for both reality and game shows General Assumptions Mix of successful (3+ seasons, syndication and format sales) and under performing (average 1-2 seasons, limited sponsorship, no syndication) game show and reality programming Successful shows reach steady state economics in Year 3 100% network shows with license fees equal to production budgets Case Specific Assumptions Aggressive Case Industry Average Year 1 to 260%27%30% Year 2 to 350%61%67% Year 3 to 467% 50% Base Case Aggressive Case Reality Success22 Reality Underperform23 Game Show Success32 Base Case Success RatesOverall Programming Mix* Game Show Underperform33 Show Type *Numbers represent picked-up shows

11. 11 American Idol Revenue Estimate (June 2008) *Numbers represent picked-up shows Of the estimated $745m of revenue, it is unclear as to how much is paid to the producers and how much is retained by Fox. Traditionally, a broadcast network will pay for 100% of the production costs and not share ad sales, sponsorship or other revenue with the producers Given the extreme success of AMERICAN IDOL, it is reasonable to assume that Fremantle has been able to negotiate an enhanced deal where they share in Fox’s revenue streams. It is unlikely that this information is easily obtainable from either Fremantle or Fox as it is highly confidential. (a) Network ad sales based on 2007 AMERICAN IDOL rate card per Neilsen Ad Views of $855m gross less 15% agency fee. (b) Sponsorship based on internal SPT estimate. $20m believed to be amount of Coke sponsorship. Note: Slide provided to R. Wiesenthal but does not directly factor into our rough estimate of a $45-100MM value for a potential production JV with Cowell
