Licensing and Merchandising Plan

October 5, 2011

DRAFT

page 2

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

Smurfs Relationship Overview

• SPE is the agent for North America (U.S. and Canada) only

• Lafig controls international

• SPE has no licensor participation and can be legally dismissed as the agent for North America, which would leave SPE with zero overall participation

RolesRoles

• 51% for licenses solicited by SPE covering North America only

• 30% of licenses (“global licenses”) with U.S. companies solicited by SPE

• 15% of licenses solicited by Lafig covering international territories only

Target Deal Terms to Pursue Restructuring

• Release of frozen non-theatrical content rights (e.g., DTV, TV animation) to SPE

TermTerm Resulting Upside(s) for SPEResulting Upside(s) for SPE

• Stand-alone profitable brand extensions

• Support for merch between films and with expanded demo

Modest asks with reasonable chance for Lafig support

• Lafig funding / co-funding of CMF

• Increased retail support for merch

• Int’l retail management to SPE (distinct from ownership of int’l licensee relationships)

• Retail management fee to SPE

• Increased SPE control of int’l film promotion

• Incremental $1.5MM ultimate contribution(1) to SPE

• Full control of int’l to SPE

• SPE int’l commissions increased to domestic levels

• Incremental $7.7MM ultimate contribution(2) to SPE Aggressive ask

Lafig is unlikely to support

(1) Assumes additional 5% fee to SPE (i.e., 15% + 5% = 20% total SPE commission). Would require the conversion of one consultant into FTE plus one full-time coordinator hire.(2) Assumes 25% increase in int’l merch commission (i.e., 15% + 25% = 40% commission in-line with domestic wtd. Avg. commission).
