                “Restricted Stock Units” shall include the value (as determined in good
                faith by the Committee) of any securities and other property that
                you
                would have received or become entitled to receive upon lapse of the
                Restrictions had you been a holder of the shares of Common Stock
                to which
                the Restricted Stock Units relate at the effective time of the change,
                and
                the Committee shall make any other adjustments, including the payment
                of
                the Restricted Stock Units as if the Restrictions had lapsed, as
                it may
                determine to be appropriate in accordance with the Plan, such
                determination to be final and

                the
                Restricted Stock Units, Reader’s Digest is authorized to deduct the amount
                of the tax withholding obligation from the amount payable to you

              Notwithstanding
                anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may terminate the

                Unit
                Award, you shall certify at the time of such vesting, in a manner
                acceptable to Reader’s Digest, that you are in compliance with the terms
                and conditions of the Plan and that you have not engaged in, and
                do not
                intend to engage in, any Detrimental Activity. In the event you engage
                in
                a Detrimental Activity prior to, or during the two (2)-year period
                (one
                (1)-year period in the case of subparagraph 8(c)(v) and (vii)) after,
                your
                termination of employment with Reader’s Digest and its Designated
                Subsidiaries, Reader’s Digest shall be entitled to recover from you at any
                time within two (2) years after such termination of employment, and
                you
                shall pay over to Reader’s Digest, the full amount of any payment to you
                under this Award during the period of two (2) years prior to your
                termination of employment and the period of two (2) years (one (1)
                year in
                the case of paragraph (c)(iv)) after your termination of employment,
                and
                Reader’s Digest shall be entitled to set-off against the amount of any
                such payment any amount owed to you by Reader’s Digest or its affiliates
                and the Restrictions shall be deemed not to have lapsed after you
                engage
                in any Detrimental Activity.  Furthermore,
                if you do not pay over to Reader’s Digest within twenty (20) days of
                demand any payment due under this subparagraph (b), such amount shall
                thereafter bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law and
                you
                shall be liable for all of Reader’s Digest's costs of collection,
                including but not limited to, reasonable legal
                fees.

    In
      the
      event that a Change in Control has occurred and your employment with Reader’s
      Digest and its Designated Subsidiaries has terminated involuntarily without
      Cause (as defined in Paragraph 8(e) or for Good Reason (as defined in Paragraph
      4(c)), “Detrimental Activity” shall have the meaning stated in subparagraph
      8(c)(i), only.

     

    For
      purposes of subparagraphs 8(c)(i), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vii) above, the Chief
      Executive Officer, the most senior Human Resources officer and the most senior
      legal officer of Reader’s Digest shall each have authority to provide you with

                Reader’s Digest’s or its affiliates’ employees or any individual or entity
                with whom Reader’s Digest or its affiliates has a business relationship
                which would adversely affect in any manner: (i) the conduct of the

                limitation, any products or business plans or prospects), or (ii)
                the
                business reputation of Reader’s Digest or its affiliates, or any of their
                products, or their past or present officers, directors or

                dishonesty, moral turpitude, other significant misconduct of any
                kind,

                to) a crime, or a significant violation of any rules, policies, procedures
                or guidelines of Reader’s Digest or its affiliates, or refusal to perform
                normal duties and responsibilities (for any reason other than illness
                or
                incapacity) which, in any case, Reader’s Digest reasonably classifies as a
                termination for Cause. The determination of whether “Cause” has occurred
                shall be solely in the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer,
                with the
                advice of the most senior Human Resources officer and the most senior
                legal officer of Reader’s Digest.

              (a)

            	
              The
                Restricted Stock Unit Award is subject to the detailed provisions
                of the
                Plan, a copy of which may be obtained from the Human Resources Department
                of Reader’s Digest.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              The
                Restricted Stock Units do not give you any rights as a holder of
                Common
                Stock. You will not receive regular quarterly cash dividends or dividend
                equivalents with respect to the Restricted Stock
                Units.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (c)

            	
              The
                granting of the Restricted Stock Units does not confer upon you any
                right
                to continue in the employ of Reader’s Digest or any of its subsidiaries or
                affiliates.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (d)

            	
              The
                Restricted
                Stock Units do
                not entitle you to any benefit other than the benefits specifically
                and
                expressly granted hereunder. The
                Restricted Stock Units are unfunded and are payable from the general
                assets of Reader’s Digest. Any benefits granted under the Restricted Stock
                Units are not part of your ordinary salary for any purpose, including,
                without limitation, calculating any benefits, severance, redundancy,
                termination or resignation or similar
                payments.
