 (Jeffrey Laymon) 

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of March 16, 2010 is made by and between American Media

employment with the Company, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the annual rate of $275,000.00 (Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents), payable in regular installments in
accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices. 

  

 4. Bonus and Benefits. 

a. Bonus. With respect to each full fiscal year during Executive’s employment with the Company, effective FY11, Executive

 b. Benefits. In accordance with the terms of the
Company’s employee benefit plans as in effect from time to time, Executive shall, during Executive’s employment with the Company, be provided health insurance and short term and long term disability insurance, retirement benefits and
fringe benefits (collectively, “Employee Benefits”) on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to other similarly situated employees of the Company. 

5. Termination. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5 shall exclusively
govern Executive’s rights upon termination of employment with the Company. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by either party at any time and for any reason; provided that Executive will be required to give the Company at
least 30 days prior written notice of any resignation of Executive’s employment. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company, Executive shall be entitled to receive:

 2 

 (v) Severance. Severance pay in the amount of the 9 months of the
Base Salary, if termination is for any reason other than Cause or expiration of the Employment Term or resignation by Executive. Severance pay, if any, will be payable in 18 equal bi-weekly installments. Executive will be required to execute and
return the Company’s form Separation and Release of Claims Agreement (“Separation and Release”) within 45 days after Executive’s termination of employment in order to be eligible to receive the severance pay described
above. Payment of Executive’s severance shall commence no earlier the 7 calendar days after the Company receives the executed Separation and Release and no later than 90 days after the date of Executive’s separation from service (as
defined in Section 1.409A 1(h) of the Treasury Regulations) (“Separation from Service”), the exact date to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, provided that Executive timely executes and returns the Separation
and Release and does not subsequently revoke such execution. For all purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the related regulations, Executive’s entitlement to severance pay pursuant to this
Agreement shall be treated as an entitlement to a series of separate payments. To the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the related regulations, any such payments that are excluded from the definition of “deferral of
compensation” pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not be taken into account in determining the eligibility of the remaining severance payments for exclusion from the definition of “deferral of
compensation” pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations. “Cause” shall mean (i) Executive’s continued failure or refusal to substantially perform Executive’s duties hereunder for a
period of 10 days following written notice by the Company to Executive of such failure or refusal, (ii) dishonesty in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, (iii) an act or acts on Executive’s part constituting
(x) a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or (y) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, (iv) Executive’s willful malfeasance or willful misconduct in connection with Executive’s duties hereunder
or any act or omission which is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (v) Executive’s unsatisfactory job performance, or (vi) Executive’s
breach of any provision of this agreement, including the attached addendum. Additionally, if Executive becomes physically or mentally incapacitated for a continuous period of 90 days or more, the Company has the right to terminate Executive’s
employment without paying severance. For the purposes hereof, the term “physical or mental incapacity” means Executive’s inability to perform the principal duties as contemplated by this agreement. 

a. Expiration of the Employment Term. Upon expiration of the Employment Tern, unless Executive’s employment is earlier
terminated pursuant to the above, Executive’s termination of employment hereunder (whether or not Executive continues as an employee of the Company thereafter) shall be deemed to occur on the close of business on the last day of the Employment
Term and Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights. Following any termination of Executive’s employment hereunder as a result of the expiration of the Employment Term, except as expressly set forth in this paragraph, Executive
shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

  
 3 

 b. Continued Employment Beyond the Expiration of the Employment Term. Unless the
parties otherwise agree in writing, continuation of Executive’s employment with the Company beyond the expiration of the Employment Term shall be deemed an employment at will and shall not be deemed to extend any of the provisions of this
Agreement and Executive’s employment may thereafter be terminated at will, for any reason or for no reason and at any time, by either Executive or the Company; provided that the provisions of Section 6 and Exhibit A (Confidentiality /Non
Compete Addendum) of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement or Executive’s termination of employment and provided further that Executive shall provide Company with at least 30 days advance written notice of resignation.
Following such termination of Executive’s employment, except as set forth in this Section 5, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

c. Delay in Payment to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any class of the Company’s
stock shall become publicly traded or if the Company becomes a member of a controlled group of companies whose stock is publicly traded and if Executive is a “specified employee” (as the term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of
the Code and related regulations) at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service, as determined by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Sections 416(i) and 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder, no payment
(excluding any payment that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations) shall be made to Executive prior to 6 months after Executive’s Separation from Service, provided that any
such payments that would otherwise be made during the first 6 months following Executive’s Separation from Service shall be paid in the seventh month following Executive’s Separation from Service. 

6. Confidentiality. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement by Executive, Executive shall execute and deliver to Company
the Confidentiality/Non Compete Addendum set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof.

 EXHIBIT A 
 Confidentiality / Non-Compete Addendum 
 1. For the purpose of this Addendum, the term
“Confidential Information” shall mean all information about American Media Operations, Inc. and affiliates and subsidiaries (hereinafter, the “Company”) and its officers and employees that is not public knowledge
(including any information that becomes public by the actions of Executive or action of unauthorized persons obtaining access to that information, directly or indirectly, from or through Executive). The term “Proprietary
Information” shall mean all business, financial and proprietary information about the Company, including but not limited to information regarding its officers and employees, its labor practices, accounting practices, budgets, expansion
plans, business plans, trade secrets, business secrets, operational methods, policies, procedures, proprietary formulae, specification, programs, designs, drawings, component lists, databases, records, software, manuals, instructions, catalogues,
information relating to the production, creation, supply or provisions of any products or services, information relating to the marketing or sale of any products or services, information relating to the financial condition or earnings of the
Company, lists of customers’ or suppliers’ names, addresses and contacts, sales targets and statistics, market share and pricing statistics, marketing surveys, research reports, advertising and promotional materials, and all other
information regarding the Company, whether tangible or intangible, and whether stored, compiled or memorized physically, electronically, photographically or by other means, but excluding information that becomes freely and generally available to the
public through the media. 
 2. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Confidential Information and Proprietary Information are proprietary to,
and valuable assets of, the Company and that any disclosure or unauthorized use thereof in violation or threatened violation of this Addendum would cause irreparable damage to the Company, and that such damage will be presumed to have occurred.

 3. Executive shall retain all Confidential Information in strictest confidence and shall not, at any time (whether during or after
Executive’s term of employment with Company), without the prior written consent of the Chairman/CEO of the Company (i) use, exploit or disclose or permit the use, exploitation or disclosure of, any Confidential Information for the benefit
of Executive or any other party, including, but not limited to, any corporations, companies, stores, businesses, industries, firms, newspapers and broadcasting companies, unless otherwise required by applicable law, governmental order or regulation,
subject to Section 6 hereto; (ii) publish or disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information to any unauthorized person; or (iii) contact or otherwise communicate with the media, directly or indirectly, on or off the
record, regarding the Company or its officers or employees or any aspect of Executive’s employment with the Company, including, without limitation, facts and information about the Company that Executive learned during Executive’s
employment with the Company. Executive further agrees that Executive will not retain or use for Executive’s account at any time any trade names, trademark or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business
of the Company or its affiliates. 

  
 7 

 4. Upon termination of employment or demand by the Company, Executive shall immediately deliver to Company,
without retaining copies thereof, all Confidential Information and derivations thereof in Executive’s possession or control, including but not limited to all photographic, video or electronic documents and recordings and all notes, analyses,
compilations, studies and interpretations. 
 5. Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Chairman/CEO of the Company, at
any time, whether during or after Executive’s term of employment with the Company, (i) communicate in any form (oral, written or otherwise) with any person or entity, including, but not limited to, trade publications, the press, any
competitor of the Company, any customer or any other third party, about any Proprietary Information, except as may be necessary to comply with the requirement of any applicable law, governmental order or regulation in connection therewith, subject
to Section 6 hereof, or (ii) write, publish, cause to be published, authorize, consult about or otherwise be involved in the writing, publication, broadcast, transmission or dissemination of any article, interview, essay, story, book,
photograph, film videotape, documentary, diary, biography, memoir or letter or other oral, written, visual or digital account, description or depiction of any kind, whether or not fictionalized, about the Company or its directors, officers or
employees or Executive’s employment with the Company, whether truthful, defamatory, disparaging, deprecating or neutral. 
 6. In the event
that Executive is requested or required to disclose any Confidential Information or Proprietary Information in a legal or regulatory proceeding, Executive shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement and
shall cooperate with the Company and its counsel in any effort to protect disclosure of such Confidential Information of Proprietary Information. 
 7. While employed and for a period of 9 months following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall not, in any manner, attempt to solicit or solicit any employee of the
Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent or related companies or successors or assigned with any offer of employment or consultancy, or hire, retain, engage or otherwise employ or utilize the services of an such employee of the Company. While
employed and for a period of 6 months following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall not, in any manner solicit any customer of the Company for the purpose of diverting such customer’s business from the
Company, or interfere or attempt to interfere with the Company’s relationship with any customer of the Company who was a customer of the Company during Executive’s employment with the Company. 

8. Executive agrees that during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company, and for a period of 9 months following Executive’s
voluntary termination of employment or for the period of 9 months following the Executive’s involuntary termination of employment, Executive will not engage in any relationship, directly or indirectly, including but not limited to advising,
being compensated in any way by, being employed by, permitting Executives’ name to be associated with or used by, or consulting, with any Prohibited Business (as hereinafter defined) within the United States of America or Canada. For purposes
of this Agreement “Prohibited Business” means any business which is competitive with the Company in the publishing, production, pre-press, marketing, racking or servicing of products similar to the

  
 8 

 
products/publications/website that Executive directly worked on while employed with the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s products and
services are marketed throughout the United States of America and Canada and that therefore a restriction to the geographic area of the United States of America and Canada is reasonable with regard to the Company’s business plans and the market
for its products and services. In the event that the term of the Executive’s Employment Agreement expires and Executive becomes an employee at will under terms and conditions similar to those contained in Executive’s Employment Agreement,
and if Executive’s employment is terminated while Executive is an employee at will, Executive will additionally be bound by the terms of this paragraph for a period of 9 months following termination of employment, provided that the Company
compensates Employee in the amount of $19,166.67 (Nineteen Thousand One Hundred Sixty Six Dollars and Sixty-Seven Cents) per month (the “Severance”) for the 9 month non-competition period. Payment of Executive’s Severance shall
commence no later than 15 days after the date of Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations), the exact payment date to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. For
purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the related regulations, Executive’s entitlement to Severance shall be treated as an entitlement to a series of separate payments. To the extent
permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the related regulations, any such payments that are excluded from the definition of “deferral of compensation” pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not
be taken into account in determining the eligibility of the remaining Severance payment for exclusion from the definition of “deferral of compensation” pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations. If Executive
does not comply with the terms contained herein, Company shall not be obligated to pay Executive Severance. Company agrees to pay the greater of the Severance described above, or Company’s Severance program in effect at the time of termination
of employment during the 6 month non-competition period, provided that payment of the Severance, whether under this Agreement or Company’s Severance program, shall be at a time and under a schedule such that the substitution of one benefit for
the other would not cause an acceleration of nonqualified deferred compensation in violation of Section 1.409A-3(j) of the Treasury Regulations or otherwise give rise to an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. 

9. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions and conditions set forth in this Addendum are essential to the preservation of the Company’s
proprietary business information and to the Company’s execution of Executive’s Employment Agreement, without which, Company would not have entered into said Agreement. Executive expressly acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in
this Addendum are reasonable and valid. 
 10. Executive shall not make any statements about the Company or its officers or employees that are
intended to, or may reasonably be expected to, disparage or impugn them or otherwise make any statement that would adversely affect the reputation of the Company or its officers or employees or otherwise disrupt, damage, impair or interfere with the
business or prospects of the Company or any of its officers or employees. 

  
 9 

 11. Executive acknowledges that a breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in this
Addendum by Executive and/or those under Executive’s control will result in irreparable damage to Company and that such damage will be presumed to have occurred, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, Company shall be entitled,
without the necessity of posting any bond, to appropriate injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining Executive and/or those under Executive’s control from any such threatened or actual violation of the provisions of
this Addendum. Additionally, if a breach of the promises in this Addendum is demonstrated, Executive agrees to pay the attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by Company as a result of such breach. Specifically and unless stated otherwise,
all remedies provided for in this Addendum shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to Company at law, in equity, or otherwise. 
 12. Nothing contained in the Addendum shall be construed as granting or conferring any rights by license or otherwise in any Confidential Information disclosed. 

13. No delay or omission by Company to exercise any right or power occurring upon any noncompliance or default by Executive with respect to any of the
terms of this addendum shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by Company of any covenants, conditions, or agreements to be performed by Executive shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding
breach thereof or of any covenant, condition, or agreement herein contained. 
 14. The provisions of this Addendum shall survive termination or
expiration of the Agreement indefinitely.
