 WHEREAS, the Bondholders and the Company desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for, among other things, the consent of the Bondholders to the
proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the Indenture, as set forth in the Sixth Supplemental Indenture attached hereto as Annex B (the “Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company, the Note
Guarantors and the Trustee; and 
 WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of the Company to enter into the Supplemental Indenture, the
Company has required that the Bondholders enter into this Agreement. 







 NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Company to enter into, and in consideration of the Company’s entering
into, the Supplemental Indenture and in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Covenants of the Company. The Company agrees as follows: 
 (a) Supplemental Indenture. On the Effectiveness Date (as defined below), the Company shall execute and deliver the Supplemental
Indenture to the Trustee and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute the Supplemental Indenture. 
 (b) Consent Fee. Within five (5) business days of the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall pay, in cash, to all Holders of the Notes an amount equal to $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Fee”)
held by such Holder on October 30, 2006 (the “Record Date”). No accrued interest will be paid on the Fee. 
 (c) Form 8-K. The Company shall execute and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 8-K describing the transactions contemplated hereby, including as exhibits a copy of this Agreement
(excluding all Annexes hereto) and the Supplemental Indenture, within one (1) business day of the Effectiveness Date. 
 2. Covenants of the Bondholders. Each Bondholder, severally and not jointly, agrees as follows: 
 (a)
Consent of Subject Notes. Each Bondholder hereby (i) approves, ratifies, confirms and consents to, in all respects, the Proposed Amendments and (ii) directs the Trustee to execute and deliver the Supplemental Indenture. Such
Bondholder shall not withdraw or revoke (or cause to be withdrawn or revoked) such approval, ratification, confirmation or consent or other approval in connection with the Proposed Amendments unless and until such consent is revoked in accordance
with Section 5 hereof. 
 3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to
the Bondholders as of the date hereof as follows: 
 (a) Due Organization. The Company is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. 
 (b) Due Authorization; Binding
Agreement. The Company has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company
and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Bondholders) constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 (c) No Conflicts. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms hereof by the Company will conflict with, result in any breach or violation of, or default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a 
  

 2 








 default) under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governing instruments,
any material contractual obligation to which the Company is a party or any provision of any law, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, except for any such conflicts, violations, defaults or other occurrences that would not have a
material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or prevent, delay or impede the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement. No filing (other than a Form 8-K) with, and no permit,
authorization, consent or approval of, any United States court or governmental agency or body or any other entity is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby, except where the failure to make such filing or to obtain such permit, authorization, consent or approval would not prevent, delay or impede the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (d) Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against the Company or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any other person or entity that restricts in any material respect or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the exercise by any party or beneficiary of its rights under
this Agreement or the performance by any party of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 4. Representations and Warranties of the
Bondholders. Each Bondholder hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof as follows: 
 (a) Due Organization. If other than a natural person, such Bondholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite
corporate, partnership or other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and perform its respective obligations under, this Agreement. 
 (b) Due Authorization; Binding Agreement. Such Bondholder has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by such Bondholder and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company) constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of such Bondholder enforceable against such Bondholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 (c) No Conflicts. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Bondholder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms hereof by such Bondholder will
conflict with, result in any breach or violation of, or default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under such Bondholder’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governing instruments,
any material contractual obligation to which such 
  

 3 








 Bondholder is a party or any provision of any law, order, rule or regulation applicable to such
Bondholder, except for any such conflicts, violations, defaults or other occurrences that would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise) of such Bondholder or prevent, delay or impede the performance by such
Bondholder of its obligations under this Agreement. No trust of which such Bondholder is a trustee requires the consent of any beneficiary to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or to the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby. No filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any United States court or governmental agency or body or any other entity is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by such Bondholder and the consummation by such
Bondholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to make such filing or to obtain such permit, authorization, consent or approval would not prevent, delay or impede the performance by such Bondholder of its obligations
under this Agreement. 
 (d) Ownership of the Subject Notes. On the Record Date, such Bondholder was and on the date
hereof, the Bondholder is, the beneficial owner of the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite its name on Annex A hereto (held through the DTC Participant listed on such Annex A). Such Bondholder does not own,
beneficially or of record, any Notes of the Company or securities convertible or exchangeable for Notes of the Company other than as set forth on Annex A hereto. Such Bondholder has the sole right and power to vote and dispose of the Subject
Notes, and none of such Subject Notes is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting or transfer of any of the Subject Notes, except for this Agreement. 
 (e) Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against such Bondholder or, to the
knowledge of such Bondholder, threatened against such Bondholder or any other person or entity that restricts in any material respect or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the exercise by any party or beneficiary of its rights
under this Agreement or the performance by any party of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (f) Information. Such
Bondholder (i) has been advised by professional, legal and tax advisors of its choosing and has reviewed, or has had the opportunity to review, with the assistance of such advisors, sufficient information (including all documents filed or
furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company) in order to determine whether or not to grant its approval, ratification, confirmation and consent to the Proposed Amendments and (ii) has had sufficient access to the Company
necessary for such Bondholder to make such determination. Such Bondholder acknowledges that the financial statements of the Company are subject to the Restatement, and has granted its approval, ratification, confirmation and consent to the Proposed
Amendments with full knowledge of the pending Restatement. 
 (g) Tax Matters. Such Bondholder acknowledges
(i) the Company believes that, with respect to a Bondholder, the change in yield on the Notes resulting from the payment of the Fee will likely result in a deemed exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes of Notes for new Notes. Although
not free from doubt, if the change in yield 
  

 4 








 does result in such a deemed exchange, the Company intends to treat the deemed exchange of the Notes for
new Notes as a tax-free recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the deemed exchange qualifies as a tax-free recapitalization and if the Fee is treated as separate consideration, a Bondholder will generally not recognize any gain or
loss on the deemed exchange and a Bondholder’s tax basis and holding period in the new Notes will equal such Bondholder’s adjusted tax basis and holding period in the Notes immediately prior to the adoption of the Proposed Amendments; and
(ii) regardless of whether the deemed exchange qualifies as a tax-free recapitalization, depending on the issue price assigned to the new Notes, the deemed exchange could result in the creation of original issue discount with respect to the new
Notes that, subject to certain offsets, would be includable in the income of a Bondholder subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis over the remaining term of the new Notes in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to such
income. Bondholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters in light of their particular circumstances. 
 5. Revocation of Consents. The consent granted pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall become null and void and have no further effect if the Supplemental Indenture is not executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee on
the Effectiveness Date. Nothing in this Section 5 shall relieve any party of liability for breach of this Agreement. 
 6. General Provisions. 
 (a) Effectiveness of this Agreement. The obligations of the Company
pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall become effective on the date (the “Effectiveness Date”) the Company receives (i) the consent to the Proposed Amendments of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes and (ii) the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) to amendments to the indenture pursuant to which the 2011 Notes were issued substantially similar to the
Proposed Amendments, and, in each case, on such date the holders of the Notes and the 2011 Notes shall no longer have the right to revoke such consent except in accordance with Section 5 hereof. 
 (b) Amendments, etc. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any
departure by any of the Bondholders or the Company from any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed and delivered by all the Bondholders party hereto and the Company, and then it shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. 
 (c) Disclosure. Each Bondholder
hereby consents to public disclosure, including in a press release and a Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC, of the identity of such Bondholder, the aggregate principal amount of Notes that will be bound by this Agreement and the nature of its
commitments, arrangements and understandings pursuant to this Agreement. Each Bondholder agrees that it shall not make any public announcement or public disclosure regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein (except to the
extent required by applicable law or legal process) without the prior written consent of the Company. 
  

 5 








 (d) Confidentiality. The Company shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, keep
the principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by each Bondholder party hereto strictly confidential; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by the Bondholders party hereto may be disclosed and
(ii) the principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by any Bondholder may only be disclosed (A) with the written consent of such Bondholder; (B) to affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company, including
legal counsel, the Trustee and other persons reasonably required in order to enter into the Supplemental Indenture, (C) to the extent required by law, including securities laws, or by subpoena or similar legal process, provided, if appropriate,
that the non-disclosing parties have been given an opportunity to defend, limit or protect such disclosure, (D) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or (E) to
the extent such terms (x) become publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6(d) or (y) become available to the disclosing party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the non-disclosing
parties. 
 (e) Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if
delivered personally, telecopied (with confirmation), mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or delivered by an express courier (with confirmation) to the Company at 1000 American Media Way, Boca Raton, Florida 33464,
Attention: Chief Financial Officer, Telephone: (561) 997-7733, Facsimile: (561) 998-7492, with a copy to Ken Wallach at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, Telephone (212) 455-2000,
Facsimile: (212) 455-2502, and to each Bondholder at the address set forth under such Bondholder’s name in Annex A hereto (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice). 
 (f) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. 
 (g) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
 (h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the
entire agreement and understanding of the Bondholders and the Company, and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, capitalized terms used but not defined
in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture. 
  

 6 








 (i) Specific Performance; Enforcement. Each of the parties hereto recognizes and
acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement will cause the other party to sustain damages for which it would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore, each of the parties
hereto agrees that in the event of any such breach the aggrieved party shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may
be entitled, at law or in equity. The parties agree that they shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts of the State of New York and any Federal court, sitting in the state of New York, this
being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto (i) consents to submit such party to the personal jurisdiction of any Federal court located in the State of New York
or any New York state court in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that such party will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees that such party will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than a Federal court sitting in the state of New York or a New
York state court and (iv) waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any claim or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (j) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement, and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile
signatures of the parties hereto.
