Notes:1. Sale price based on 15% of GSN assumed valuation of $500MM for Low Case, $530MM for Mid Case, and $600MM for High Case. Implies FUN valuation of $137.5MM, $150MM, and $180MM respectively.

Implied FUN Value = [(GSN Value x 15%) less $27MM Cash] / 35% SPE Purchase of FUN

$180MM = [($600MM x 15%) - $27MM] / 35%

2. Transaction/Legal Costs open, need to obtain an estimate

3. Total Investment value per SPT v. GSN has a difference of $5M related to launch support. Still researching, per D. Mastalski should identify reasoning behind GSN's balance sheet entry only.

ISSUES TO DATE

• GSN’s affiliate agreement with DirecTV has been out of contract since February 2007 and is currently being renegotiated

• Since the expiration of the contract, DirecTV has paid a rate of $0.04 / sub as opposed to the previous rate of $0.082

• The reduced rate caused a GSN earnings shortfall of $5.7MM in 2007 and $6.8MM in 2008

Section I - Summary of EBITDA Impact by Reducing the Affiliate Fee / Subscriber

GO – FORWARD IMPACT

• If DirecTV does not true-up the affiliate fee payments by the earnings shortfall amount, GSN will have to restate 2007 – 2008 financials

• Restating financials could retroactively trigger the MFN provisions for Comcast and Echostar, increasing the total earnings shortfall by $9.6MM in 2007 and $10.1MM in 2008

• If the MFN is not triggered and DirecTV rates continue at $0.04 / sub, GSN will forego approximately $7.8MM in 2009 EBITDA

• If the DirecTV rate triggers the MFN, GSN could lose approximately $18.1MM in 2009 EBITDA

(1) Any change in affiliate revenue has no associated costs and therefore is a direct EBITDA impact
