A majority of our cable and satellite distribution agreements are scheduled to expire at the end of 2008 and it may be difficult or more costly to renew these agreements for additional terms. We may be required to issue substantial numbers of new warrants to NBCU in fiscal 2008 and 2009 in connection with successful renewals of cable and satellite distribution agreements. Mandatory redemption of our Preferred Stock could have a material impact on our liquidity and cash resources. NBCU and GE Equity have the ability to exert significant influence over us and have the right to disapprove of certain actions by us. Loss of the NBC branding license would require us to pursue a new branding strategy that may not be successful and may incur significant additional expense. Intense competition in the general merchandise retailing industry and particularly the live home shopping and e-commerce sectors could limit our growth and reduce our profitability. We may not be able to maintain our satellite services in certain situations, beyond our control, which may cause our programming to go off the air for a period of time and incur substantial additional costs. The FCC may limit must-carry rights, which would impact distribution of our television home shopping programming and might impair the value of our Boston FCC license. We may be subject to product liability claims for on air misrepresentations or if people or properties are harmed by products sold by us. Our ValuePay installment payment program could lead to significant unplanned credit losses if our credit loss rate was to deteriorate. We may be subject to claims by consumers and state and federal authorities for security breaches involving customer information, which could materially harm our reputation and business. The expansion of digital cable systems may adversely impact our ability to compete for television viewers. The unanticipated loss of several of our larger vendors could impact our sales on a temporary basis. Many of our key functions are concentrated in a single location, and a natural disaster could seriously impact our ability to operate.
