Highlight of Business Operations:

We launched a high definition version of the Hallmark Channel in February 2010. The costs for this launch were approximately $5.0 million, of which a non-cash charge of $4.4 million was recognized in December 2009 in connection with the terminations of two existing channel delivery agreements. The Company may also incur additional costs including the cost of converting certain television series to high definition. The launch of a high definition version furthers the Companys efforts to maintain competitiveness.

(i) Incur additional indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions including, but not limited to, indebtedness in respect of secured purchase money financings not to exceed $30.0 million at any time, ordinary trade payables, indebtedness to another Credit Party and the $30.0 million revolving credit facility.

Premium Transaction means a transaction involving the sale or transfer by HCC of its shares of Common Stock to a third party (by merger or otherwise) in which all stockholders unaffiliated with Hallmark Cards are entitled to participate and are entitled to receive both (i) consideration equivalent in value to the highest consideration per share of Common Stock received by HCC in connection with such transaction, and (ii) a premium of $0.50 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, adjustments, sale of Common Stock by the Company, or sale of Common Stock by HCC pursuant to a public offering or block trade as described above, or any similar transaction). For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate premium shall not exceed $17,400,880, which is the product of the number of outstanding shares owned by minority stockholders as of the date of the Master Recapitalization Agreement multiplied by $0.50. Also, for the avoidance of doubt, HCC may effectuate a Premium Transaction pursuant to a short-form merger (or other merger) between the Company and HCC or any purchaser of its shares, so long as the holders of Class A Common Stock not affiliated with HCC receive the consideration provided for in this paragraph in connection with such merger.
