15 Investment Points Ground floor opportunity - Currently, there is no US cable service providing an OTT US service OTT services have a huge growth potential similar to satellite TV services (now are 30% of the cable TV market) DISH is the early adopter amongst incumbents to introduce over the top live television subscription services via ROKU ( Dish World ) Cable company acquisitions have recently been priced between $4-5,000 per subscriber Page 15 WhereverTV Executive Summary February 2013

16 In Summary Platform has been developed / content has been acquired raising funds to fuel customer acquisition Timing: OTT television services are moving from early adopters to mainstream technology still a very fragmented market Aggregation of captive, niche-focused audiences easier to obtain through acquisition Valuation based on # of premium subscribers of $2,000-3,000 per subscriber (based on discount from current cable television acquisitions of $4-5,000 per subscriber) Target is 30k+ paying subscribers by end of 2013 ($60-90M valuation) Page 16 WhereverTV Executive Summary February 2013
