Responses to Questions from March 22 / March 23 Phone Conversation

Legal Issues

• FUN currently offers skill-based game tournaments for fees to players playing within 34 states and does not offer such tournaments to players within 14 states, plus 2 additional states where players are prohibited from playing card games in such tournaments (although tournaments involving other games are allowed). FUN's and SPE's gaming counsel agree that the law in this area is in flux, is susceptible to political influences and should be monitored regularly for changes in the law and/or enforcement in all 50 states. Specifically, FUN and its gaming counsel currently are closely monitoring 9 states (out of the 34), where the law is ambiguous or there are activist governmental officials, looking for any changes that could impact whether tournaments for a fee continue to be offered in these states. FUN has not prepared a legal analysis of relevant law in any foreign jurisdiction, although less than 10% of FUN's business is outside the U.S. SPE legal has kept Nicole apprised of the gaming issues.

Liberty Guarantee

• Prior to the Liberty spin, Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC") owns 54% of DirecTV and this interest is held in Greenlady Corp. ("Greenlady"), a wholly owned subsidiary of LMC, and is included in Liberty Entertainment, one of LMC's tracking stocks. In connection with the GSN/FUN transactions, and prior to the Liberty spin, Greenlady will be guaranteeing all of Liberty's payment obligations to SPE in this deal, including under the put/call. After the Liberty spin, either Greenlady or Liberty Entertainment, Inc. ("LEI"), Greenlady's parent entity under the new post-spin structure, will be providing this guarantee. In either case, the direct owner of 54% of DirecTV (Greenlady), or its parent entity (LEI), will be guaranteeing all of Liberty's payment obligations to SPE in this deal, including under the put/call or buy/sell, as the case may be.

E-mail Question 1 – Governance and Financial Obligations

• SPE will retain its 50% of key approval rights under the new GSN operating agreement (exactly the same as current arrangement), including approvals of:

– Budgets, business plans, and non-budgetary items

– Additional capital calls

– Acquisitions over $1MM

– Issuance of membership interests

• All financial obligations (excluding potential pre-close GSN MFN liabilities of $20-$25MM

1) will be shared 35% to SPE and 65% to Liberty

50/50 Governance

65/35 Financial

Obligations

1 Pre-close MFN liabilities will be split 50/50 between SPE and Liberty

• What kind of financial obligation do we have under the new 65:35 organization? If we have any obligation could we assume that this would be 65:35 and not 50:50? The 50:50 governance structure will be applied only to voting rights (board seats) and everything else will be on 65:35 is what I understand?

Questions 4, 6, and 7 – Earnings HistoryOverview of FUN Earnings History

P&L Profits

• Fun Games (exclusive of FUN Sports) generated $6.5MM of EBITDA in 2008. On a consolidated basis, FUN (including FUN Games and FUN Sports) generated $6.6MM of EBITDA in 2008

• FUN has not been net income positive on a consolidated basis or a FUN Games divisional basis, largely due to deal amortization and write-offs. However, FUN Games is expected to generate $13.2MM of EBITDA and $7.9MM of Net Income in 2009

Balance Sheet Detail

• FUN’s retained earnings were reset in 2006 when Liberty acquired a controlling stake in FUN. From that time through December 31, 2008, $154MM of FUN’s total accumulated deficit was attributable to FUN Games in the carve-out balance sheet. However, only $21MM related to operating losses from continuing operations.

• The $23MM identified as “current period losses” on the carve-out balance sheet is due to pre-close adjustments between 12/31/2008 and 4/1/2009. These adjustments primarily relate to the write-off of inter-company receivables prior to close
