 Weight Watchers International, Inc. 
 Commitment Letter 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 8, 2006, as amended (the “Existing Credit
Agreement”) among Weight Watchers International, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Borrower” or “you”), the lenders party thereto and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent.
Terms used but not defined in this commitment letter (including the Exhibits and the other attachments hereto, this “Commitment Letter”) shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Existing Credit Agreement. 

You have advised Credit Suisse (“CS”) and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS Securities” and,
together with CS and their respective affiliates, “Credit Suisse”, “we” or “us”) that you intend to (a) make a public tender offer to acquire, and enter into an agreement
with an affiliate of yours to acquire, a portion of your outstanding common stock, for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $1,000,000,000 (the “Self Tender and Affiliate Purchase”) and (b) repay all outstanding
indebtedness under, and terminate, (i) the First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of December 16, 2005, among Weightwatchers.com, Inc., the lenders party thereto and CS, as administrative agent, and (ii) the Second Lien Credit Agreement
dated as of December 16, 2005, among Weightwatchers.com, Inc., the lenders party thereto and CS, as administrative agent. You have further advised us that, in connection therewith, (x) the Borrower will obtain incremental term A-1 loans
(the “Designated Additional Term A-1 Loans”) under the Existing Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $700,000,000 (of which up to $575,000,000 may be drawn in a second drawing on a date up to three weeks








 following the Closing Date), (y) the Borrower will obtain incremental term B loans (the “Designated
Additional Term B Loans” and, together with the Designated Additional Term A-1 Loans, the “Additional Term Loans”) under the Existing Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000,000 and
(z) you propose to amend certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the Self Tender and Affiliate Purchase, give effect to the Additional Term Loans and the incurrence of indebtedness pursuant thereto,
add an excess cash flow sweep as a mandatory prepayment as described under the heading “Mandatory Prepayments” in Exhibit A and to increase the interest rate margins for the revolving facility and the term loan A facility (and modify the
pricing grid) in the manner described under the heading “Changes in Interest Rate Margins and Commitment Fees” in Annex I to Exhibit A (the “Proposed Amendment”). 
 If the Proposed Amendment is not obtained, then you would not obtain the Additional Term Loans, but rather you would terminate the Existing Credit
Agreement, prepay all amounts outstanding thereunder and obtain the senior secured replacement credit facilities (the “Replacement Facilities”) described in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Senior Facilities Term Sheet”). The Additional Term Loans and the Replacement Facilities are referred to collectively herein as the “Facilities”). 
 1. Commitments. 
 In
connection with the foregoing, (a) CS is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide the entire principal amount of the Additional Term Loans and (b) CS Securities is pleased to advise you of its agreement to use commercially
reasonable efforts to arrange the Proposed Amendment, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter. In addition, if the Proposed Amendment is not obtained, CS is pleased to advise you of its
commitment to provide the entire principal amount of the Replacement Facilities upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter. 
 2. Titles and Roles. 
 You hereby appoint (i) CS Securities to act, and CS Securities hereby agrees to act, as sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger for the Facilities (the “Lead Arranger”), it being understood that the Borrower may,
with the consent of CS Securities, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, appoint an additional financial institution as joint bookrunner and co-lead arranger along with CS Securities, and (ii) CS to act, and CS hereby agrees to act, as
sole administrative agent and sole collateral agent (the “Agent”), it being understood that the Borrower may instead select The Bank of Nova Scotia or, if reasonably acceptable to CS, another Lender, to act as the Agent, with
respect to the Replacement Facilities, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter. The Lead Arranger and the Agent, in such capacities, will perform the duties and exercise the
authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles. You agree that, (i) Credit Suisse will have “left” placement 
  

 2 








 in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Facilities and (ii) in no
event will Credit Suisse be entitled to less than 40% of the economics granted in this Commitment Letter and in the Fee Letter referred to below. You further agree that no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly
contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Facilities or the Proposed Amendment unless you and we shall so agree. 
 3. Syndication. 
 We
reserve the right, prior to or after the execution of definitive documentation for the Facilities, to syndicate all or a portion of our commitments with respect to the Facilities to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional
lenders (together with CS, the “Lenders”) identified by us and approved by you (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). We intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this
Commitment Letter, and you agree actively to assist us in completing a satisfactory syndication. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit materially from your
existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of you and the proposed Lenders, (c) assistance by you in the preparation of a Confidential Information
Memorandum for the Facilities and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication, (d) prior to the launch of the syndication, the obtaining of affirmations of the ratings with respect to the existing credit facilities
(as modified by the Proposed Amendment) or ratings of the Replacement Facilities from each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
(“Moody’s) and the corporate rating from S&P and the corporate family rating from Moody’s, in each case in respect of the Borrower and (e) the hosting, with CS Securities, of one or more meetings of prospective
Lenders. You agree, at the request of CS Securities, to assist in the preparation of a version of the Confidential Information Memorandum and other marketing materials and presentations to be used in connection with the syndication of the
Facilities, consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (i) publicly available or (ii) not material with respect to the Borrower and its subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United
States Federal and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information”). Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as
“Private Lender Information”. You further agree that each document to be disseminated by Credit Suisse to any Lender in connection with the Facilities will be identified by you as either (i) containing Private Lender
Information or (ii) containing solely Public Lender Information, provided that Credit Suisse provides each such document in final form to the Borrower prior to its dissemination. 
 CS Securities will manage all aspects of any syndication, in consultation with the Borrower, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to
be approached (with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which 
  

 3 








 institutions will participate (with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders, any naming rights and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist CS Securities in its syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to CS
Securities all information with respect to you and your subsidiaries, the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as we may
reasonably request. 
 4. Information. 
 You hereby represent and covenant (and it shall be a condition to CS’s commitment hereunder and our agreements to perform the services described herein) that (a) all information other than the Projections
(the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to Credit Suisse by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives is or will be, taken as a whole, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or
will not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such
statements are made and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to Credit Suisse by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon accounting principles consistent
with your historical audited financial statements and upon assumptions that are reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are made available to Credit Suisse. You agree that if at any time prior to the closing of the
Facilities any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information and
the Projections so that such representations will be correct under those circumstances. In arranging and syndicating the Facilities, we will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for
independent verification thereof. 
 5. Fees. 
 As consideration for CS’s commitment hereunder and our agreements to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay to CS Securities the

may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Transactions, the Facilities or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,

 In connection with the Revolving Facility, CS (in such capacity, the “Swingline
Lender”) will make available to the Borrower a swingline facility under which the Borrower may make short-term borrowings of up to $15,000,000. Except for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee described in Annex I hereto, any such
swingline borrowings will reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Lender under the Revolving Facility shall, promptly upon request by the Swingline Lender, fund to the Swingline Lender its pro rata share
of any swingline borrowings.

			
	Incremental Facility:	  		 	The Borrower shall be entitled on one or more occasions and subject to satisfaction of customary conditions to incur additional term loans (the “Additional Term

to $575,000,000 of the Term A Facility may be drawn in a second drawing on a date up to three weeks following the Closing Date) solely (a) to repay in full and terminate the Existing Credit Agreement and the Subsidiary Credit Agreements, (b) to fund
the Self Tender and Affiliate Purchase and (c) to pay the Transaction Costs.
			
		  	(B)	 	The proceeds of loans under the Revolving Facility will be used by the Borrower on the Closing Date as provided in clause (A) above, and thereafter from time to time for general corporate

Agreement, all on a pari passu basis; provided that there shall be provisions for a release of collateral on terms substantially similar to those in the Existing Credit Agreement.
		
	Mandatory Prepayments:	  	The mandatory prepayment provisions in respect of the Term Loans will be substantially similar to those in the Existing Credit Agreement (with the Term A Facility and Term B Facility being

 ANNEX I 
  

					
	Interest Rates:	  		  	 Term B Facility
  
 The interest rates under the Term B Facility will be Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.50% or ABR plus 0.50%.
  
 Term A Facility and Revolving Facility
  
 The interest rates under the Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility will be Adjusted LIBOR plus
1.25% or ABR plus 0.25%.
  
 The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 (or 9
or 12, if agreed to by the Lenders) months for Adjusted LIBOR borrowings.
  
 Calculation
of interest shall be on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of ABR loans based on the Prime Rate) and interest shall be payable at the end of each interest period and, in
any event, at least every three months.
  
 ABR is the Alternate Base Rate, which is the
higher of Credit Suisse’s Prime Rate and the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus  1/2 of
1.0%.
  
 Adjusted LIBOR will at all times include statutory
reserves.

			
	Letter of Credit Fees:	  		  	A per annum fee equal to the spread over Adjusted LIBOR under the Revolving Facility will accrue on the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility,
payable in arrears at the end of each quarter and upon the termination of the Revolving Facility, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Such fees shall be distributed to the Lenders participating in the Revolving
Facility pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Lender’s Revolving Facility commitment. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, (a) a fronting fee equal to a percentage per annum to be agreed
upon of the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter and upon the termination of the Revolving Facility, calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year, and
(b) customary issuance and administration fees.









											
	Commitment Fees:	  		  	0.25% per annum on the undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the Revolving Facilities, payable quarterly in arrears after the Closing Date and upon the termination of
the commitments, calculated based on the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year.
			
	 Changes in Interest Rate Margins
 and
Commitment Fees:
	  		  	    
The definitive credit documentation for the Senior Facilities will contain provisions under which, from and after the Closing Date, and so long as no
default shall have occurred and be continuing, interest rate margins under the Revolving Facility and Term A Facility and commitment fees under the Revolving Facility will be subject to change in increments based on the Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio, as
set forth below:
