2 1 Executive Summary The game / reality format business represents a critical growth area for SPE –Reality shows represent nearly half of the top 20 shows in the demo –The overall demand for reality formats grow –Game / reality shows lend themselves to international formatting, creating a highly profitable business Michael Davies will be the anchor of our format business –Davies has a proven track record in the space –Davies current deal expires in early 2009 –We need to extend the relationship to provide continuity and a platform for growth An acquisition of Davies’ company, Embassy Row, is the best method for expanding our format business –Evaluated both deal extension and acquisition –Acquisition provides a better long-term platform for growth and can be extended through complementary acquisitions in international territories

3 2 The total number of reality shows on air continues to grow –During 2006-07 season 51 reality shows aired in network primetime a 31% increase over the 39 reality shows aired five years ago Reality shows are also growing as a percentage of network primetime –Reality now represents 27% of the primetime schedule, having grown from 8% of network programming 5 years ago –Reality represents over 40% of summer programming Reality show success is driven by their ability to generate high ratings –During 2006-07 season, almost half (45%) of the top 20-rated programs among A18-49 were reality programs Reality Business Continues to Grow

4 3 Alternatives for SPT to Expand on the Davies Relationship 2 Year ExtensionAcquisition Pros Cons Structure Increase overhead to $2.5MM per year SPE owns all copyrights Davies retains online and mobile rights Other economics in-line with current deal Up-front consideration of $25MM $30MM of earn-outs tied to EBIT targets ($10MM / yr for 3 yrs) 3 year contract with Davies Format business run as a separate P&L within SPT Less expensive; lower risk than outright acquisition Shorter relationship limits ability to add complementary acquisitions Less appealing to Davies; lower likelihood of closing Does not acquire all rights Higher appeal to Davies, greater likelihood of closing Longer relationship; easier to build with complementary acquisitions Acquire all rights, including new media More expensive, riskier

5 4 Incremental Value of Acquisition vs. Deal Extension 2 Year ExtensionAcquisition PV of cash flows (and eventual sale) less purchase price Excludes value of current Davies deal Ranges vary for number of shows and percentage of EP/chargeback fees Lifetime value of shows created during a 2 year deal extension Inclusive of recoupment of EP fees Net of OH expenses
