Curt Pires served as a consultant on a number of television and media projects during the establishment of the NBA's newest franchise, the Charlotte Bobcats and its television entity CSET. (Carolina Sports & Entertainment Television) Curt was a consummate professional who brought energy and insight to all his assigned projects. He provided our organization with operational shorthand when time was a critical factor in trying to get a team, an arena, and a regional sports cable network on line in a very short time frame.

He was respected by all of his co-workers, and proved to be a tireless worker who was focused on getting positive results with the greatest amount of efficiency. I recommend him with all due enthusiasm, and do not have an iota of reservation about his ability to bring value to any targeted project.

To Whom It May Concern,
I understand you may be considering Curt Pires and his company, CAP Sports Group, for representation of your content. This letter is to verify that CAP Sports Group has been successfully supplying programming to my cable television network, MAVTV, for over four years. Curt's track record with our company is impeccable.

We depend on CAP Sports Group for the majority of our barter programming and expect to continue to do so in the coming years. Curt's big network background with companies like ESPN gives him a leg up on his competition because he understands the needs of cable networks and does a great job cultivating his relationship with us.

We have had such a positive working experience with CAP Sports Group that we refer producers to them quite often. We are confident in Curt's abilities to find them distribution opportunities that others can't. I have no reservations in recommending that you work with CAP Sports Group as well.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,
Rob Stevens

RE: Curt Pires
Dear Sir or Madame:

Curt has worked for me as an outside source of sports programming for America One Television since 2005. During that period, Curt has been instrumental in sourcing North American sports programming. Curt has also been a key figure in maintaining our long lasting action sports relationships that have supported the growth of the Network.

Curt is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about from the outset, and how to accomplish it quickly and effectively. During his time with America One, Curt has sourced numerous high quality sporting events on simple, straightforward terms. He is a resourceful, creative, and solution-oriented person who frequently uses innovative approaches to acquiring and delivering programming.

Based on my experience working with Curt, I can unreservedly recommend him to you for any programming needs. If you would like further elaboration, feel free to call me at (713) 416-2281.

Sincerely,

John Preston Bornman III
President
