page 5 CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT Market Challenges A consensus on the definition “4K” from a content creation and delivery perspective has yet to be established ‒ “Shot in 4K” vs. “finished in 4K” ‒ “4K mastered BD” vs. “up-converted HD/2K as ‘4K’” 4K-ready content is currently not available ‒ Few new titles have been finished in 4K ‒ A small number of “library classics” have been remastered (principally by SPE and WB) in 4K Most other studios do not appear to be pursuing 4K content in the short term ‒ Additional costs involved in preparation of 4K content pose challenge with little chance for upside/financial recoupment given limited reach/high cost of hardware (includes requirement to support Sony’s expanded color gamut scheme, xvYCC) ‒ Likely to be waiting for a “significant customer base” to be created ‒ Cable MSOs/broadcasters are unable to deliver 4K, limiting revenue opportunities ‒ No format standard for physical delivery has been established Post houses are not yet equipped to handle 4K/xvYCC content ‒ Capital investment required to upgrade current HD/2K facilities to 4K capability ‒ Lack of professional grade monitors for QC and color grading pose operational challenge

page 6 CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT Current HDCP 1.4 content protection on HD HDMI links is compromised and therefore not sufficient for 4K, forcing the studios to require HDCP 2.2 Current DRM architectures are not sufficient to protect 4K content in today’s landscape of threats, resulting in the need for a significantly different approach ̵ Several studios already disallow HD/2K content delivery via PCs due to security risk ̵ Assuming the system will be hacked, the questions become 1) how to respond quickly and 2) how to design a system that limits the number of titles compromised with each hack (preferably 1) ̵ With some discontent with the content protection for HD/2K, the studios see 4K as an opportunity to significantly increase content security Sony’s content protection must be very robust ̵ Any hack similar to what has been experienced with Blu-ray, that exposes a large number of published titles, may drive the studios to withdraw content completely ̵ There are security technology providers who have the components but not complete solutions, and we are working with Sony Corp’s 4K Technology WG to address The State of 4K Content Protection

page 7 CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT Business Model Considerations Prior to launch of a delivery service, a content bundle appears to be the best model for delivery ‒ Content would be pre-loaded on a hard drive or Blu-ray discs packaged with customer hardware, eliminating need network delivery ‒ Customer would own bundled copies outright [Once a delivery service is established, per unit ownership and rental models (i.e., transactional models) would maximize available content and offer access to recent releases after theatrical run (if offered on a non-exclusive basis)] A subscription model would limit available content to deep catalog product (films released more than ~9 years ago) due to rights controlled by Starz For catalog films bundled with the hardware, content value and costs are as follows: ‒ Estimated $[10-15] market value per copy bundled ‒ Estimated $[2-4] out of pocket 3 rd party cost per copy bundled TO BE REVIEWED WITH THE HE TEAM
