AFAIK the program gets nothing if it loses. Braingames says (quoted from
chessbase.com):

"The champion stands to win $1 million while a further million will be spent in
arranging the event. Kramnik will take home $800,000 if he draws and $600,000 if
he loses."

From what Ossi Weiner wrote in the CSS forum he really disliked this intended
sharing of the price money,
