Such Option(s) shall be exercised by written notice to Grantor not later than 30 days prior to the expiration of the then current License Period or Option Period, as the case may be. 2.

TRV may make such copies of the Materials as it shall require to exercise its rights hereunder. 3.3 Delivery of all of the Materials by the Delivery Date for each Program is of the essence of this Agreement. In the event of any failure of timely delivery by Grantor, in addition to any other rights which it may have, TRV shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement as it relates to the applicable Program, or if DCI, in its discretion, elects to accept such Program, TRV may reschedule the start of the License Period, in DCI's sole discretion.

DCI's right to use the publicity materials hereunder include, without limitation, use in connection with industry awards events which feature the Program during or after the License Period.

TRV shall have the right to include credits for TRV production personnel in connection with the Program. The total running length of program credits, including TRV credits, shall not exceed thirty (30) seconds.

In order to maintain DCI's worldwide reputation as a premier source of highly credible, non-fiction programming, all statements of fact contained in the Program(s) shall be true and accurate and shall be substantiated by adequate research in keeping with generally accepted standards for first-class documentary film makers. Moreover, all dramatizations and reenactments shall be clearly identified as such. Without limiting any additional rights TRV may have under this Agreement, Grantor shall assume all costs reasonably incurred by TRV in order to correct any factual inaccuracies contained in the Program as of the date of delivery. 6.3 Grantor has paid or will pay all charges, taxes, license fees and other amounts that have been or may become owed in connection with each Program or the exercise of any rights granted herein, and there are no pending claims, liens, charges, restrictions or encumbrances on any Program or on such rights. 6.4 The exercise of the rights granted herein by TRV and its successors, licensees, and assignees will not violate any law, regulation or right of any kind whatsoever or give rise to any actionable claim or liability. Each Program is free of any moral rights or comparable obligations to any third party. 6.5 No claims have been made or are pending against Grantor or any other individual or entity arising out of any exhibition of the Program, if any such exhibition has been made.

In the event of any claim or service of process upon a party involving the indemnification hereinbefore set forth, the party receiving such notice shall promptly notify the other of the claim. The indemnifying party will promptly adjust, settle, defend or otherwise dispose of such claim at its sole cost. If it so elects, the indemnified party shall have the right at its sole cost to engage its own counsel in connection with such claim. In the event that the indemnitee determines that the indemnitor is not diligently and continuously defending any such claim, the indemnitee shall have the right, on its own behalf and as attorney-in-fact for indemnitor, to adjust, settle, defend or otherwise dispose of such claim. Any costs incurred by the indemnitee in connection therewith shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnitor, and if the indemnitor fails to so reimburse the indemnitee, the indemnitee shall be entitled to deduct such amounts from any other sums payable to the indemnitor under the Agreement. 8. Protection of Copyright 8.1 Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to protect all copyrights pertaining to each Program from infringement and will institute such action and proceedings as may be reasonable to prevent any unauthorized use, reproduction, exhibition or exploitation by third parties of each Program, or any part thereof, or the material on which the Program is based which may be in contravention of the rights granted to TRV hereunder. 8.2 If Grantor elects not to take any action in the event of any infringement of copyright or of TRV's rights hereunder, Grantor shall so notify TRV promptly and TRV shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take such action as TRV shall deem reasonable in the circumstances. In the event that Grantor elects not to take any action in the event of any infringement of copyright or of TRV's rights hereunder, Grantor hereby appoints TRV its attorney-in-fact to act in its name to prevent any unauthorized use, reproduction, exhibition or exploitation of any Program or any part thereof. Any damages awarded or settlement payments made as a result of any action taken by TRV shall remain DCI's property. 9.

Such policy shall be secured at Grantor's own cost and shall be maintained throughout the License Period. The insurance obtained by Grantor pursuant to this paragraph 9 shall name TRV as an additional insured. Promptly after securing such policy but in no event later than the Delivery Date, Grantor shall furnish TRV with a customary certificate attesting to such insurance and outlining its terms and limits. 10. Relationship of Parties Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any partnership or joint venture between the parties. Neither party may make binding commitments on the part of the other, except as otherwise specifically agreed hereunder.

Default If Grantor defaults in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder (with the exception of a default in delivery which is covered in paragraph 3.3 hereof) and such default shall not be cured within ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Grantor, or if Grantor becomes insolvent, or if a petition under any bankruptcy act shall be filed by or against Grantor which petition, if filed against Grantor, shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter, or if Grantor executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver is appointed for the Exhibit A - Page 3 assets of Grantor, or if Grantor takes advantage of any insolvency or any other like statute (any of the above acts are hereinafter called "Event of Default"), then TRV may, in addition to any and all other rights which it may have against Grantor, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Grantor at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding such termination, the indemnities, warranties and representations set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect. 13. Miscellaneous 13.1 This Agreement contains the entire understanding and supersedes all prior understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter herein and this Agreement cannot be changed or terminated except in a writing executed by both parties.

LICENSE FEE AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE The License Fee shall be payable in accordance with Exhibit C-1 ("Payment Template") and Exhibit C-2 ("Payment Schedule").

TRV's Option for each Season expires on the date sixty (60) days prior to the date (the "Option Exercise Deadline") of commencement of production on the first poker tournament of the immediately following Season (the "Season Commencement Date") provided that Producer has informed TRV in writing of the Season Commencement Date at least Page 2 one hundred and eighty days (180) prior to the Season Commencement Date. If Producer does not inform TRV of the Season Commencement Date at least one hundred and eighty days (180) prior to the Season Commencement Date, TRV shall have an extension on its Option Exercise Deadline equal to the number of days that notification of the Season Commencement Date is delayed (e.g., If the Season Commencement Date notification is ten (10) days late, the Option Exercise Deadline shall be moved to a date which is fifty (50) days prior to the Season Commencement Date). TRV may exercise the Option by notifying Producer in writing of its intention to exercise the Option on or before the Option Exercise Deadline. If TRV elects not to exercise the Option, or if TRV fails to exercise the Option by notifying the Producer in writing prior to or on the Option Exercise Deadline, then Producer shall have no further obligations to TRV with respect to subsequent Seasons, unless otherwise set forth herein, and TRV shall have no further rights with respect to subsequent Seasons, unless otherwise set forth herein. If an Option is exercised by TRV, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be equally applicable to each and all of the Episodes constituting the Additional Series Order and shall govern the respective rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to each and all Additional Series Orders, except only as follows: (i) The applicable Treatment, Production Schedule, Program Materials and Payment Schedule for the Additional Series Orders shall be subject to TRV's approval with respect to each Additional Series Order; provided however in the event TRV requires changes in the Program Materials set forth in Exhibit D in such a manner as to cause Producer to incur additional cost, TRV shall agree to an increase in the License Fee to accommodate such additional cost, with such increase subject to TRV's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld). The applicable Payment Schedule for the Additional Series Orders shall be subordinate to the Payment Template (i.e. in the event of an inconsistency between the Payment Schedule and the Payment Template, the Payment Template shall control). Producer shall prepare and deliver the Production Schedule to TRV, which such Production Schedule shall be approved by TRV within ten (10) business days after receipt from Producer. Within one (1) week after the Production Schedule for each Additional Series Order is approved by TRV, TRV shall prepare and deliver to Producer a Payment Schedule (made in accordance with the terms of the Production Schedule and the Payment Template) for the applicable Additional Series Order, and Producer shall have approval rights over such Payment Schedule (not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that, if for any reason the Payment Schedule is not prepared and/or approved prior to the accrual of Payment A in accordance with the Payment Template, TRV shall pay the Payment A amount to Producer in accordance with the Payment Template. (ii) The applicable License Fee for the Additional Series Orders with respect to each Season shall increase by five percent (5%) (on a per episode basis, including Additional Series Episodes) over the amount of the License Fee in the immediately preceding Season for such Episodes, or Additional Series Episodes, as applicable. Producer acknowledges and agrees that Producer will maintain first-class production values in keeping with current cable television industry standards at the time of production taking into account the TRV-approved budget. Page 3 B. In the event that Producer continues to organize the World Poker Tour events but gives TRV notice in writing within one hundred eighty (180) days subsequent to TRV's exercise of the Option for an Additional Series Order, that Producer does not intend to produce any Programs or Specials (which such election by Producer shall not be a breach of this Agreement) in connection with such Season, TRV, at its election, shall have the right to contract with another production entity to produce the Programs respecting that Season and Specials relating thereto (each, a "TRV Produced Program", collectively, the "TRV Produced Programs"). Producer shall grant to TRV a license to use the World Poker Tour name and marks in a manner consistent with the rights granted to TRV in this Agreement for the exploitation of the TRV Produced Programs, along with all other intellectual property rights necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement and to produce programs consistent with the quality, theme and content of the Programs, subject to TRV editorial control. In such a case, TRV shall own all Television and Non-Theatrical Rights in these TRV Produced Programs throughout the world, in perpetuity. Producer shall be entitled to a license fee of USD$** for each calendar year in which TRV exploits, or permits a third party to exploit, the Television rights in and to a TRV Produced Program, payable to Producer within thirty (30) days of the initial broadcast of each such TRV Produced Program in each such calendar year. All other rights shall be negotiated in good faith between the parties provided that TRV shall have a right of first negotiation and last refusal for such rights (as defined in Paragraph 7 below). 5.

C. TRV shall have pre-approval over any change in the name or identity of a Pre-Approved Event; which such approval shall not unreasonably be withheld by TRV. D. The License Fee respecting each Additional Series Episode shall be $** (subject to increase pursuant to Paragraph 4(a)(ii)). E. The applicable Treatment, Production Schedule, Program Materials and Payment Schedule for the Additional Series Episodes shall be subject to TRV's approval with respect to each Additional Series Episode; provided however in the event TRV requires changes in the Program Materials as set forth in Exhibit D in such a manner as to cause Producer to incur additional cost, TRV shall agree to an increase in the License Fee to accommodate such additional cost, with such increase subject to TRV's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld).

Page 7 G. The parties agree that Producer has elected to add the PokerStars.com event to the Tour, and that the PokerStars.com event shall be the first Additional Series Episode (i.e. the "First Additional Series Episode"). H. In the event that two (2) or more Additional Series Episodes are produced in a Season (i.e. if the total number of events and related Episodes is fifteen (15) or more for a Season) then the number of Specials required to be ordered by TRV, and to be produced by Producer, pursuant to Paragraph 5 of this Agreement shall be reduced to three (3) for such Season. 8. ADDITIONAL WPT PROGRAMS / FIRST NEGOTIATION, LAST REFUSAL A. If TRV exercises its fifth Option under Paragraph 4 above (for the Season 7 Programs), and provided that TRV is not in material breach of this Agreement, TRV shall have an exclusive right of first negotiation and last refusal with respect to the development and/or production of any additional program(s) covering or presenting World Poker Tour tournaments (e.g., World Poker Tour VIII) ("Additional WPT Program(s)"). Producer agrees to notify TRV in writing in the event Producer (either itself or through any other entity) elects to produce any Additional WPT Program(s), one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to beginning of the applicable WPT event, thus triggering TRV's right of first negotiation and last refusal. The parties shall negotiate exclusively for a period of sixty (60) days after TRV's receipt of such notice (the "Exclusive Negotiation Period") with respect to the terms and conditions for TRV's participation in the exploitation of such Additional WPT Program(s). B. If TRV notifies Producer that it is no longer interested in the Additional WPT Program(s) or the foregoing negotiations between the parties with respect to such Additional WPT Program(s) do not result in an agreement, Producer shall thereafter be free to enter into negotiations with any third party with respect to such Additional WPT Program(s), provided, Producer will notify TRV in writing of the material terms of any third-party offer Producer would like to accept, and TRV shall thereafter have a period of fifteen (15) days to match and preempt such offer by giving Producer written notice of its acceptance of the material terms contained in the notice to TRV. If TRV fails to match and preempt the third-party offer, Producer will be free to accept such third-party offer. In the event the third-party offer shall not materialize into an agreement with the third party, the last refusal rights of TRV shall be in full force and effect with respect to any succeeding third-party offer(s). However, in the event the third-party offer does materialize into an agreement with the third party, the rights of first negotiation and last refusal of TRV shall terminate, and Producer shall have no further obligations, unless otherwise set forth herein, and TRV shall have no further rights with respect to any Additional WPT Programs, unless other wise set forth herein. 9. ADDITIONAL NON-WPT PROGRAMS / FIRST NEGOTIATION, LAST REFUSAL A.

Producer agrees to notify TRV in writing in the event Producer (either itself or through any other entity) elects to produce any Additional Non-WPT Program(s). The parties shall negotiate exclusively for a period of sixty (60) days after TRV's receipt of such notice (the "Exclusive Negotiation Period") with respect to the terms and conditions for TRV's participation in the exploitation of such Additional Non-WPT Program(s). B. If TRV notifies Producer that it is no longer interested in the Additional Non-WPT Program(s) or the foregoing negotiations between the parties with respect to such Additional Non-WPT Program(s) do not result in an agreement, Producer shall thereafter be free to enter into negotiations with any third party with respect to such Additional Non-WPT Program(s), provided, Producer will notify TRV in writing of the material terms of any third-party offer Producer would like to accept, and TRV shall thereafter have a period of fifteen (15) days to match and preempt such offer by giving Producer written notice of its acceptance of the material terms contained in the notice to TRV. If TRV fails to match and preempt the third-party offer, Producer will be free to accept such third-party offer. In the event the third-party offer shall not materialize into an agreement with the third party, the last refusal rights of TRV shall be in full force and effect with respect to any succeeding third-party offer(s). However, in the event the third-party offer does materialize into an agreement with the third party, the rights of first negotiation and last refusal of TRV shall terminate, and Producer shall have no further obligations, and TRV shall have no further rights with respect to any Additional Non-WPT Programs. 10. FIRST NEGOTIATION/LAST REFUSAL RESPECTING ACQUISITION OF RIGHTS TO WORLD POKER TOUR A. In the event that Producer decides not to organize any future World Poker Tour Events, Producer shall give TRV formal notice in writing of such election within one hundred eighty (180) days of Producer's such decision and, provided that TRV is not in material breach of this Agreement, TRV, at its election, shall have the right of first negotiation and last refusal to acquire all rights to the World Poker Tour Event ("Acquisition") so that TRV may continue organizing the World Poker Tour Event without Producer's participation. The parties shall negotiate exclusively for a period of sixty (60) days after TRV's receipt of such notice (the "Exclusive Negotiation Period") with respect to the terms and conditions for TRV's Acquisition. B. If TRV notifies Producer that it is not interested in pursuing the Acquisition, or the foregoing negotiations between the parties with respect to the Acquisition do not result in an agreement, Producer shall thereafter be free to enter into negotiations with any third party with respect to such Acquisition, provided, Producer will notify TRV in writing of the material terms of any third-party offer Producer would like to accept, and TRV shall thereafter have a period of fifteen (15) days to match and preempt such offer by giving Producer written notice of its acceptance of the material terms contained in the notice to TRV. If TRV fails to match and Page 9 preempt the third-party offer, Producer will be free to accept such third-party offer. In the event the third-party offer shall not materialize into an agreement with the third party, the last refusal rights of TRV shall be in full force and effect with respect to any succeeding third-party offer(s). However, in the event the third-party offer does materialize into an agreement with the third party, the rights of first negotiation and last refusal of TRV shall terminate. 11. HOLDBACK Except as authorized by TRV hereunder, neither the Program, nor any elements thereof (including outtakes) or versions thereof shall be exhibited on Television in the United States Territory prior to or during the License Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TRV acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that TRV is not involved in the production of the Additional Programs, Producer shall have the right to use up to three minutes (3:00) of consecutive footage and up to five minutes (5:00) of footage in the aggregate from the Program in, or in connection with, such Additional Program for exploitation on Television in the United States Territory during the License Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Producer may utilize clips from the Program in the promotion of the Tour on Television in the United States Territory during the License Period, provided that no individual clip exceeds 2 minutes of consecutive footage or seven (7) minutes of footage in the aggregate, without TRV's prior written approval. Producer shall include the Travel Channel bug or a constant Chyron on such promotional clips where practicable, provided that TRV shall have the right to cause Producer to remove the bug or Chyron at TRV's request (Provided that such removal shall be done on a prospective basis). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and only with regards to online exploitation of clips from the Program, Producer may use clips of up to five (5) consecutive minutes and of up to ten (10) minutes in the aggregate for promotional purposes only. Any other online use shall require TRV's prior written approval. 12. PREMIERE STATUS Producer represents and warrants that the Program has not been and will not be exhibited on any form of Television prior to the commencement of the License Period and TRV shall have the world premiere of each Episode constituting the Program provided that TRV exhibits such Episode within ninety (90) days of delivery to and acceptance by TRV of the final Program Materials deliverable hereunder for such Episode, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 13. CREDITS A. The parties agree that the Program and all versions thereof shall contain the production credit for TRV and Producer as set forth below in all media in the Territory. At its option and expense, TRV may substitute another TRV-affiliated entity in the production credit or remove its credit. Page 10 PRODUCED BY WORLD POKER TOUR FOR TRAVEL CHANNEL B. The parties agree that the Program and all versions thereof shall contain the production credit for TRV in the end titles as set forth below in all media outside of the Territory. At its option and expense, TRV may substitute another TRV entity in the production credit or remove its credit. PRODUCED BY WORLD POKER TOUR IN ASSOCIATION WITH TRAVEL CHANNEL C. Producer shall receive an on-screen logo credit in the Program. D. Steven Lipscomb shall receive sole Executive Producer credit in the Program and sole "Created By" credit in the Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TRV shall be entitled to include a Network Executive Producer credit in the TRV credits section of the Program. E. Producer may remove the TRV credit outside of the United States Territory only if Producer can provide a written explanation to TRV that demonstrates to TRV that the TRV credit would prevent sales of the Program to a third party. F. TRV agrees not to remove any of the credit categories listed in the Credit Exhibit attached hereto ("Exhibit E"). Producer may modify the persons entitled to such credits based on the contributions made in connection with each Episode, provided that such modification(s) will not materially extend the length of the credits. Nothing herein shall restrict TRV's ability to reposition or speed up the credits as set forth in the Master Agreement. 14. SPONSORSHIPS A. TRV and Producer agree to develop a target list of potential entities interested in acquiring the naming rights for the World Poker Tour television series ("the "WPT Naming Rights"). There shall be only one (1) sponsor entitled to the WPT Naming Rights for the entire World Poker Tour television series (e.g. The ** World Poker Tour). The benefit of the sale (i.e. all monies and other considerations) of the WPT Naming Rights shall accrue to Producer. In addition to any amounts received by Producer for the WPT Naming Rights, said sponsor must agree to purchase from TRV a minimum of $ ** in TRV media per each 13 episode production cycle (the "Minimum TRV Media Commitment"), for TRV's sole benefit. The Minimum TRV Media Commitment in connection with the Additional Series Orders shall increase by an amount equal to $ ** for each production cycle (unless TRV approves in writing otherwise). In addition, TRV shall be entitled to ** percent ( ** %) of the increase in Producer's "Adjusted Gross Revenues" (as defined herein) received by Producer from the WPT Naming Rights (over the Adjusted Gross Revenues received by Producer from the sale of the WPT Naming Rights in the previous production cycle in which such rights were sold). In connection with the foregoing, potential sponsors may not be approached by Producer without the approval of TRV and TRV shall have the right to approve a sale of the WPT Naming Rights. TRV will not exercise its approval herein in a manner that would frustrate the sale of the WPT Page 11 Naming Rights, but only to protect its brands and businesses. For purposes of clarity, and by way of illustration rather than limitation, TRV may withhold approval of the sale of the WPT Naming Rights to avoid category conflict for a TRV media customer/sponsor of the Episodes who purchases at least ** units of media per Episode over more than ** full quarter. All presentations by Producer respecting the sale of the WPT Naming Rights must include a TRV representative. TRV will ensure that a representative will be reasonably available for such meetings, provided that Producer has provided TRV with reasonable notice of such meetings. Any agreement respecting with the WPT Naming Rights must be closed 3 months prior to the broadcast of the first Episode of the Season subject to such agreement (unless the Parties agree otherwise). Individual Program entitlements shall not be sold. Producer acknowledges that any off-air entitlements will not include any on-air obligations for TRV. For purposes of clarity, Producer will not be restricted from selling Event sponsorships that have no television component. Producer will coordinate with TRV to minimize conflicts in sponsorship categories. Producer further acknowledges and agrees that it will not sell such off-air sponsorships in the categories of adult entertainment (e.g., x-rated advertisers) and firearms. B. TRV shall have the exclusive right to sell all other audio visually represented sponsorships in the Program (e.g., the Amazon Poker Lingo). Producer will work with TRV to organically integrate these opportunities into the graphics of the show. TRV and Producer agree and acknowledge that all such sponsorships incorporated into the Program shall be incorporated in such a manner to be removable for international television distribution. Any and all additional out-of pocket costs for such integration which take place outside of the TRV-approved production budget will be borne exclusively by TRV (in addition to and separate from any fees paid hereunder). ** For purposes of clarity, this paragraph shall not be construed to restrict TRV's ability to sell traditional commercial spots to these categories during broadcast of World Poker Tour shows on TRV, **. Subject to the restrictions above, TRV shall have the exclusive right to sell all other television/on-air sponsorships/media in the Series in the Territory. C. The parties acknowledge and agree that certain sponsorship rights have been accorded to Anheuser-Busch in accordance with that certain Amendment Number 3 to Season 2 Term Sheet dated as of November 12, 2003 ("Anheuser-Busch Amendment"), between the parties hereto, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit J. 15. PROMOTION Producer shall be permitted to incorporate two tosses to Travel Channel's website into each Episode, which such website shall include a page co-branded with TRV and WPT (the "TRV Site"), and which such tosses shall be subject to TRV's approval. The TRV Site will contain prominent links to the World Poker Tour web site, the placement and number of such links to be determined by TRV in its sole discretion. For purposes of clarity and notwithstanding the foregoing, Producer acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that the World Poker Tour Page 12 website at any time includes the ability to engage in illegal online gambling, TRV shall no longer be required to provide any links to the World Poker Tour website. TRV acknowledges that it does not have the right to use the WPT name, trademark, logo, and/or images in any co-promotion of the Program with an external third party (other than the use of the title of the Series and for the promotion thereof) without the express written consent of Producer, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, Producer acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this paragraph shall restrict TRV's right to use the name or logo "World Poker Tour" (as such name or logo is used as title of the Series) for TRV's promotion of the Series or the TRV networks, including advertising with third parties (for purposes of clarity, TRV's right to use the World Poker Tour name or logo as set forth herein shall not extend to using the World Poker Tour name or logo as such name or logo relates to the World Poker Tour entity apart from the Program in any manner that would imply sponsorship by the World Poker Tour entity of a third party). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and subject to TRV's right to use the WPT name and logos as set forth in the preceding sentence, TRV acknowledges and agrees that it shall not use the WPT name logo, images or other intellectual property in a manner that connotes the WPT's endorsement of a third party name or brand. 16. REVENUE SHARING A. Fifteen percent (15%) of Producer's "Adjusted Gross Revenues" (as such term is defined in Exhibit H) from exploitation of Television Rights, Home Video Rights, Institutional and Transportation Non-Theatrical Rights, Publishing Rights and Merchandising Rights (as such terms are defined in this Agreement) in and to the Programs outside the United States Territory ** ("TRV's Participation"). Upon termination of this Agreement, TRV Participation in the Merchandising Rights and Publishing Rights (as defined below) shall be based on the following formula: ** provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing reduction, in no event shall TRV's Participation be reduced to less than **% of Merchandising and Publishing markets prior to the point in time that is twenty (20) years after the deal is terminated; and in no event shall TRV's Participation in the exploitation of the Institutional and Transportation Non-Theatrical rights, Home Video Rights or Television outside the Territory be reduced after termination of this Agreement. Page 13 B. "Merchandising Rights" shall mean the distribution, licensing, sale or other exploitation of tangible goods that utilize names, likenesses or characteristics of artists in their roles, or other personnel, materials or services included in the Program or any episode, or the title, props, sets, expressions or other elements of the Program, and that are made for sale to the general public. For clarity, Merchandising Rights do not include Publishing Rights and Home Video Rights, services, or commercial tie-in rights. C. "Publishing Rights" shall mean production, manufacture or other exploitation, by means of text, still photo and/or still illustration in any format now known or hereafter developed (including, without limitation, books, magazines and newsletters and customary subsidiary rights such as paperback reprints, book club publications, audio recordings, etc.). 17. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS A. For purposes of this Attachment, "Transportation Non-Theatrical Media" shall mean the distribution, licensing, sale, rental and/or exploitation on video cassettes, videodiscs or in any other analogous format, now existing or hereafter invented, to airline, rail, cruise and other markets customarily referred to as "in-flight" or "transportation" (including, without limitation, air, rail or cruise transportation bearing the flag of any country within the Territory or based in any country within the Territory, traveling to any country within or outside of the Territory). B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, TRV acknowledges and agrees that Producer shall be allowed to provide banner space to its member casinos, around the WPT final table (subject to the restrictions of Paragraph 17.P. below). TRV shall have the right to preapprove any such banner space and the content of such banners for the casinos in its sole discretion, provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. TRV hereby pre-approves Aviation Club de France, Bellagio, The Bicycle Casino, Borgata, Ultimate Bet's Ultimate Poker Classic, Foxwoods, Horseshoe Casino, Gold Strike Casino, Commerce Casino, WPT Invitational, Bay 101, Party Poker's Party Poker Million, Reno Hilton, WPT Championship, and Crown Casinos Australia; Trump Taj Mahal; Sands Casino; Pokerstars.com; Paradise Poker.com; and Harrah's New Orleans. For purposes of clarity, the manner and placement of such banners shall be subject to TRV's editorial approval, which shall not be exercised unreasonably. C. If TRV does not exhibit each Episode of the Program at least two (2) times by the latter of: (a) October 31st of the year in which each Episode is delivered and accepted by TRV, or (b) the date three (3) months after delivery and acceptance of the final Episode of the Program for that Season to TRV then, upon TRV's receipt of written notice from Producer, TRV's Non-Standard Television rights and Transportation Non-Theatrical rights shall become non-exclusive. Page 14 D. Producer acknowledges that TRV deems the provision by Producer of the personal services of Steve Lipscomb as Executive Producer all times during and in connection with the production of the Program is of the essence of this Attachment and a material inducement to TRV entering into this Attachment. E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Master Agreement, TRV shall have the right to creative and editorial input throughout, and approval over, all aspects of pre-production, production, post-production and completion of the Program (the "Production Activities"). TRV may be present during the Production Activities and shall designate person(s) as representative(s) for production approvals required herein. Materials submitted for approval shall be clearly indicated as such. TRV approvals shall be exercised within ten (10) business days of receipt of material, except TRV shall have a reasonable amount of time to approve final delivery of all Program Materials; silence shall not be deemed an approval. F. The Program shall be delivered to TRV free of encumbrances (other than music performance society payments to ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and each of their foreign affiliates) including, without limitation, liens, security interests, collective bargaining agreements, residual or reuse obligations and moral rights or attribution obligations so that TRV may exercise its rights hereunder without any payments or obligations to any third party. Producer shall obtain written releases and/or licenses for all elements in the Program (e.g. stock footage and photos, people, music, graphics and other artwork, trademarks and locations) as necessary to ensure that the Program is in compliance with the preceding sentence ("Written Releases"). Producer may not include in the Program any encumbered elements without prior written approval from TRV. G. For purposes of clarity, Producer shall be entitled to promote and publicize the World Poker Tour event itself or the individual events comprising the World Poker Tour. Producer acknowledges and agrees that TRV shall have the exclusive right to control the promotion and publicity regarding the Program. TRV shall consult with Producer with regards to the form and content of press releases created by TRV regarding the Program. H. TRV acknowledges and agrees that it has not, as a result of this Agreement, or as a result of its exercise of any of its editorial approvals hereunder, acquired an ownership interest in whole or in part in the Program or the copyright therein. I. For purposes of clarity, TRV acknowledges and agrees that paragraph 1 of Exhibit A of the Master Agreement shall not apply to this Attachment. J. TRV acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have the right to repurpose this Program. Page 15 K. TRV acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of paragraph 6.2 of Exhibit A of the Master Agreement shall only apply to the extent that factual statements are being made by a narrator, host, in a voiceover, or through on-screen graphics but shall not apply to statements made by tournament participants. L. TRV will have the right to approve the talent used for the Program, Episodes covered by such Additional Series Order and Specials (e.g., approval over the Program announcers and host(s)), consistent with the TRV-approved budgets and talent availability. TRV acknowledges that it has already approved Vincent Van Patten, Shana Hiatt and Mike Sexton as talent for the Program provided that the talent agreements are consistent with this Agreement unless otherwise pre-approved by TRV in writing. TRV acknowledges and agrees that Vince Van Patten's talent agreement may be limited to two, rather than five, options. M. Producer represents and warrants that it entered into long-term agreements with the relevant individual tournaments that will make it possible to maintain a World Poker Tour consisting of the same event (or comparable events if pre-approved by TRV) as the event contemplated under this Agreement. N. TRV hereby pre-approves Producer to do a trade-out with a TRV-approved airline to help defray travel costs to the production, and Producer shall be allowed include a credit and an audio mention (i.e. "promotional consideration provided by"), subject to TRV's approval, at the end of the applicable Program Episode. O. Producer acknowledges and agrees that all tournaments shall be overseen by an independent tournament director and with regards to the Specials or Additional Specials, Producer shall hire an independent tournament director subject to TRV's prior approval. P. Without limiting TRV's editorial rights in and to the Program and for purposes of clarity, Producer acknowledges and agrees that TRV's editorial rights include the right to pixilate, blur and/or remove audio and/or visual elements of the Program. Q. In the event of a material breach, Company shall have fifteen (15) days from notification by Producer of such breach to cure such breach. In addition, the parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 12 of Exhibit A to the Master Agreement, Producer's right to cure as set forth in such Paragraph 12 shall be increased from ten (10) days to fifteen (15) days from notification to Producer. 18. INCLUSION OF STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS The parties agree that except as expressly modified hereby, the Master Agreement shall be ratified, confirmed and included herein.

REFER TO YOUR CONTRACTED DCI PROGRAM MATERIALS EXHIBIT FOR PROGRAM'S CONTRACTED TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT. GENERAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS STANDARD DEFINITION VIDEO REQUIREMENTS: Video program material shall be produced using industry standard and accepted norms good practice and workmanship. DCI currently does not consider direct non-linear output using lossy compression as industry standard /accepted norms. The output of compressed nonlinear systems, even at low rates of compression, is considered unacceptable. For details regarding the acceptance of a particular editing system, please see your Production Manager. Master and source videotapes must meet industry standard or industry-accepted standards for tape format interchange. Master and source videotapes must not have any visible video impairments including, but not limited to dropouts and digital errors. Exception: Dropout count may not exceed one per running minute. DCI Bug Clearance Specifications: Due to the extensive amount of graphics used in these programs, WPT will post the Travel Channel on-air bug directly to their masters. This allows WPT to remove and replace the bug to avoid interfering with the designated bug area. This also assumes that the network ID will not be keyed over the signal for any airing of these programs. Bug Placement shall fall into the space between 38.7 microseconds and 50.0 microseconds between lines 190 and 243 (field 1) NTSC, lines 226 and 290 (field 1) PAL. This space represents a large portion of the lower right corner of the television image. In addition, to prevent interference with international ID's, text elements shall not be placed between 41.3 microseconds and 50.3 microseconds between lines 34 and 81 (field 1) NTSC, lines 41 and 96 (field 1) PAL. The bug used in postproduction by WPT, should maintain the same chrominance, luminance, and saturation levels as the bug airing out of master control. STANDARD DEFINITION AUDIO REQUIREMENTS: Audio program material shall be produced using industry standard and accepted norms for good practice and workmanship. The audio portion of the master and source audio and videotapes must be produced so that no noise, static, dropouts or extraneous distortion is recorded in the audio. Audio channels - Stereo audio must be fully mono compatible. The audio channels must be in the proper phase. NOTE: Full Mono Compatibility means that when the left and right stereo channels are actively combined to mono there is no discernible change in audio level or fidelity. Full mix and split audio tracks should be phase coherent (synchronized) to prevent difficulty editing between these tracks, as necessary. Audio Levels: Program audio must reflect reference tone level. Audio levels must be consistent throughout the program.. Transmission limiters clip at +8 dB. FOR BROADCAST "FULL MIX" TRACKS, TRANSIENT AUDIO PEAKS MUST NOT EXCEED +10 dB ABOVE REFERENCE TONE WHEN MEASURED ON AN AUDIO METER USING THE "TRUE PEAK" BALLISTIC SET (0 MS RISE, 200 MS FALL). FOR SECONDARY AUDIO TRACKS, SUCH AS MUSIC AND EFFECTS TRACKS, AND AUDIO ELEMENTS, PEAK LEVELS MUST NOT RISE ABOVE +17 dB (-3 dbfs). When mastering to a digital format and/or using an full scale or peak meter, where "0" is at the top of the scale and reference tone is at -20 dBfs, audio for the "full mix" tracks should peak at no more than -10 dBfs. When using an analog meter, though the ballistics of analog VU meters vary greatly, the average program audio level of -2 to -5 dB will roughly equal 10 dB of headroom and not exceed specifications for peak limits. However, all shows should be evaluated using a peak sensitive meter to assure adherence with transmission specifications. Pre-emphasis: FM transmission modulators (USA) use the 75 microsecond pre-emphasis curve. All signal processing must take into account the pre-emphasis curve. Improper "Sweetening", i.e. excessive equalization in the higher frequencies, can cause sibilance and severe distortion and should be avoided. Audio compression: Program audio should have good dynamic range, but not be overly dynamic. While some compression may be needed to control the dynamic range of the program audio, excessive audio compression of the final mix should be avoided as this reduces the perception of audio quality by the listener. Audio signal peaks should be approximately 8 to 10 db above program reference levels, and average loudness measurements should be comparable to reference levels. Exhibit G - Page 1 NTSC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS NTSC VIDEO SPECIFICATIONS: Drop frame: NTSC tapes must be recorded with drop frame time code. Vertical blanking should adhere to SMPTE specification 170 M. Discovery will accept vertical blanking that falls between 17 and 22 scan lines. Horizontal blanking should adhere to SMPTE specification 170 M Discovery will accept horizontal blanking widths of between 10.4 and 12.0 microseconds, with a front porch measurement of 1.0 to 2.0 microseconds and a distance of 9.4 to 10.0 microseconds from the falling edge of sync to the end of the horizontal blanking. For NTSC programs, Discovery measures the start of blanking as the edge of the signal crosses below 7.5 IRE, and the end of blanking as the signal crosses above 7.5 IRE. Black edges on the image will be measured as program blanking, and may result in blanking measurements being wide. Composite video white levels should not exceed 100 IRE units, and program black levels should not extend below 7.5 IRE units. Neither the program luminance whites nor blacks should be clipped excessively. Composite chroma levels should not exceed 110 IRE and may be clipped to prevent transmission over modulation. Discovery standards do not distinguish between shows of digital component origination or those of composite origination when evaluating encoded chrominance levels. If digital production methods are used, it is the responsibility of the vendor to ensure that the encoded signal meets the composite guidelines. All programs will be judged against these analog composite guidelines, irrespective of their native origination. NTSC composite gamut legality is also required of all programs, irrespective of origination. Horizontal and vertical synchronizing pulses, where applicable, must be recorded in the program tape at a level of -40 IRE. Each program shall be preceded with a minimum of 1 minute of SMPTE or EIA color bars (75% chroma amplitude) and a reference tone of 1000 or 400 Hz, followed by a 15 second slate, a countdown and 2 seconds of black before start of program. The tape must have a minimum of 30 seconds of black following the last program picture and audio. The program material must be representative of the audio and video reference signals. ASPECT RATIO GUIDELINES WHEN DELIVERING LETTERBOX FORMATS: 16:9 NTSC LETTERBOX: 181 scan lines, picture starts at line 50 and letterbox ends at 233 NTSC TIMECODE SPECIFICATIONS: Time code - SMPTE DROPFRAME TIME CODE IS MANDATORY. Program start time code must read 01:00:00:00. Time code should be continuous, without error, and contain the appropriate flagging information in adherence with SMPTE specification 12 M. All time code references, i.e. vertical interval time code, (VITC), longitudinal time code. (LTC) or audio sector time code on Digital formats (ASTC) MUST match exactly. PAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS PAL VIDEO SPECIFICATIONS: Vertical blanking should fall within EBU specifications, adhering to the ITU-R standard BT.470-6. Discovery will accept programs with vertical blanking measurements of between 23 and 26 scan lines. Horizontal blanking should fall within EBU specifications, adhering to the ITU-R standard BT.470-6. Discovery will accept horizontal blanking widths of between 11.5 and 13.0 microseconds, with a front porch measurement of 1.0 to 2.0 microseconds and a distance of 10.5 to 11 microseconds from the falling edge of sync to the end of the horizontal blanking. For PAL programs, Discovery measures the start of blanking as the edge of the signal crosses below 0 millivolts and the end of blanking as the signal rises above 0 millivolts. Black edges on the image will be measured as program blanking, and may result in blanking measurements being wide. Exhibit G - Page 2 Composite video white levels should not exceed 700 mv, and program black levels should not extend below 0 mv. Neither the program luminance whites or blacks should be clipped excessively. Composite chroma levels should not exceed 770 mv and may be clipped to prevent transmission over modulation. Discovery standards do not distinguish between shows of digital component origination or those of composite origination when evaluating encoded chrominance levels. If digital production methods are used, it is the responsibility of the vendor to ensure that the encoded signal meets the composite guidelines. All programs will be judged against these analog composite guidelines, irrespective of their native origination. PAL composite gamut legality is also required of all programs, irrespective of origination. Each program shall be preceded with a minimum of 1 minute of EBU color bars (75% chroma amplitude) and a reference tone of 1 KHz, followed by a 15 second slate, a countdown and 2 seconds of black before start of program.

GENERAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HD HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO REQUIREMENTS: Video program material shall be produced using industry standard and accepted norms good practice and workmanship. Master and source videotapes must meet industry standard or industry-accepted standards for tape format interchange. Master and source videotapes must not have any visible video impairments including, but not limited to dropouts and digital errors. DCI Bug Clearance Specifications: DCI requires that lower third and other graphic elements containing text not interfere with the network ID keyed over the signal. Consequently, the following areas of the picture may not contain text information. All horizontal measurements are given in microseconds, with the start of the measurement at the SAV reference pulse. No text shall fall into the space between 21 microseconds and 24.5 microseconds between lines 459 and 541 (field 1) in a 1080 I 59.94 signal. HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO REQUIREMENTS: Audio program material shall be produced using industry standard and accepted norms for good practice and workmanship. The audio portion of the master and source audio and videotapes must be produced so that no noise, static, dropouts or extraneous distortion is recorded in the audio. Audio channels - Stereo audio must be fully mono compatible. The audio channels must be in the proper phase. NOTE: Full Mono Compatibility means that when the left and right stereo channels are actively combined to mono there is no discernible change in audio level or fidelity. Full mix and split audio tracks should be phase coherent (synchronized) to prevent difficulty editing between these tracks, as necessary. Audio Levels: Program audio must reflect reference tone level. Audio levels must be consistent throughout the program.. Transmission limiters clip at +8 dB. FOR BROADCAST "FULL MIX" TRACKS, TRANSIENT AUDIO PEAKS MUST NOT EXCEED +10 dB ABOVE REFERENCE TONE WHEN MEASURED ON AN AUDIO METER USING THE "TRUE PEAK" BALLISTIC SET (0 MS RISE, 200 MS FALL). FOR SECONDARY AUDIO TRACKS AND 5.1 SURROUND MIXES, PEAK LEVELS MUST NOT RISE ABOVE +17 dB (-3 dbfs). When mastering to a digital format and/or using an full scale or peak meter, where "0" is at the top of the scale and reference tone is at -20 dBfs, audio for the "full mix" tracks should peak at no more than -10 dBfs. Exhibit G - Page 3 When using an analog meter, though the ballistics of analog VU meters vary greatly, the average program audio level of -2 to -5 dB will roughly equal 10 dB of headroom and not exceed specifications for peak limits. However, all shows should be evaluated using a peak sensitive meter to assure adherence with transmission specifications.
