Explanation of Responses:

Remarks:
On November 19, 2009, the Reporting Person caused its subsidiaries to contribute to Liberty Entertainment, Inc. ("LEI"), among other things, the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Reporting Person that hold all of the shares of common stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Person and that are a party to the zero cost collar arrangements described in the Form 4 filed by the Reporting Person on April 2, 2008. At 5:00 p.m., New York Time, on November 19, 2009, the Reporting Person distributed all of the outstanding shares of LEI to the holders of its Liberty Entertainment common stock pursuant to a partial redemption of its Liberty Entertainment common stock. Immediately following the redemption on November 19, 2009, a business combination transaction among the Reporting Person, the Issuer, LEI and DIRECTV, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("Holdings") and certain other persons was completed, pursuant to which, among other things, LEI and the Issuer separately merged with subsidiaries of Holdings and Holdings became the new parent holding company of the Issuer.
