Angeles, CA 90048

Dear
Laura,

As
we discussed, Advanstar Communications believes that your experience and
expertise in managing Advanstar’s Fashion Group are critical to the company’s success.  For that reason, I would like to provide you
with a special financial incentive to encourage you to give Advanstar a minimum
of six (6) months prior written notice in the event you decide to voluntarily
resign from your position as Executive Vice President of the Fashion
Group.  A six month resignation notice
period is essential if Advanstar is to benefit from your meaningful
participation in the recruitment, training and integration of your successor.

This
will confirm that if you give Advanstar a minimum of six (6) months prior
written notice of your resignation and devote your entire business time,
attention and energies to performing your duties as Executive Vice President of
the Fashion Group during the notice period, then at the time of your resignation
you will become eligible to receive: (i) twelve (12) months of your current
base salary of $300,000 per annum; (ii) your 2006 target bonus of $150,000; and
(iii) up to twelve (12) months of reimbursement of any COBRA expenses you incur
for continuation of Advanstar’s medical, dental and vision health benefits. The
base salary portion of the incentive will be paid to you in bi-weekly
installments in accordance with Advanstar’s standard practice.  Subject to the following sentence, the bonus
portion of the incentive will be paid to you ninety (90) days after the
effective date of your resignation. 
Please note that if the effective date of your resignation occurs within
nine (9) months of the payment of an ordinary course Annual Incentive Program bonus
to you, then, notwithstanding anything in this letter to the contrary, you
would not be paid the bonus portion of the incentive described in subsection
(ii) of this paragraph.

Prior
to the commencement of any of the payments described in this letter, you will
need to sign a standard Separation Agreement which will, among other things:
(i) confirm the terms of this letter; and (ii) contain releases of any
employment-related claims you may have. 
All normal deductions for tax withholding will be made from all payments
made to you.  Any payments made to you
pursuant to the arrangements described in this letter will constitute your full
entitlement to compensation in connection with the termination of your
employment with Advanstar and will be in lieu of any standard severance policy
or other payments.

This letter supersedes in its entirety my letter to you
dated March 13, 2006, regarding your participation in the recruitment, training and integration of a
successor Vice President & General Manager of Advanstar’s Fashion Group
(the “Prior Letter”).  Please indicate your understanding and
agreement that the Prior Letter is hereby
terminated, cancelled and of no further force or effect by signing a
copy of this letter where indicated and returning a signed copy to my attention.

	
  Sincerely,

  	
   

  	
  Acknowledged and Agreed:

Dear Danny:

 

 

This letter is written on behalf of Advanstar Communications, with
regard to the position of Group Publisher for the publications America’s
Network, Telecom Asia, and Comunicaciones.
We are very pleased to offer you the position, which was thoroughly discussed
with you previously, at a base annualized salary of $160,000 with a $30,000
bonus/incentive arrangement. Also included in this offer is the guarantee of
six months severance pay if your employment with Advanstar Communications is
terminated for any reason other than your voluntary departure or for cause.

 

To further explain the $30,000 bonus/incentive opportunity for you: our
bonus plans work on an achieved “target” basis. If your achieve the budgeted
annual contribution target for the group of magazines, you will receive
$30,000. However, there is a very nice accelerator associated with these plans
that provide an opportunity to as much as triple this incentive bonus if you
achieve 118 percent of more of your budgeted contribution target. Details of
your 1996097 bonus arrangement will be fully explained in writing under
separate cover once a budget is finalized. Your arrangement will be modeled
after the following example:

AMENDMENT TWO

TO

DIRECTORY
SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Amendment Two (this
“Amendment”) is entered into as of  December 21, 2005 (the “Amendment
Effective Date”), by and between Hawaiian
Telcom Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (as successor in
interest to Hawaiian Telcom Mergersub, Inc.) (hereinafter referred to as “Publisher”), and L. M. Berry and Company,
a Georgia corporation (“Berry”), and is
an amendment to the Directory Services Agreement (the “Directory
Services Agreement”) made and entered into effective as of February
4, 2005, by and between Publisher and Berry. 
All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein will have the
meanings assigned to them in the Directory Services Agreement. 

1.             The
definitions of Gross Print Advertising Sold and Gross Internet Advertising Sold
in Schedule 8 are hereby modified to include Hawaii excise taxes regardless of
whether the excise tax is separately billed to customers on the advertiser
billing. 

2.             Gross
Print Advertising Revenues Sold for the 2005 Directories are stipulated by the
parties to exceed $63 million for the purpose of determining the rate of base
compensation as provided for in Schedule 8, Section 2.2. 

3.             Gross
Print Advertising Revenues Sold for the 2005 Directories, for the purpose of
establishing the base for determining Incentive Compensation as provided for in
Schedule 8, Section 2.2 will be stipulated to be $64,234,118.  Incentive Compensation shall be paid to Berry
for 2006 Directories should the Gross Print and Internet Advertising Revenues
Sold exceeds $68,067,668.  Incentive
Compensation shall be paid to Berry for 2007 Directories should the Gross Print
and Internet Advertising Revenues Sold exceeds $70,984,937. 

4.             Publisher’s
right of termination under Section 8.3(b) is hereby modified to apply only if
Gross Print and Internet Advertising Revenues Sold for the 2007 Directories are
less than $68,145,976. 

5.             The
parties further agree, notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained
in the Agreement or any Schedule, print advertising rates for the 2006 Oahu
directories shall be maintained at the same level as for the 2005 Oahu
directories and print advertising rates for the 2007 Island directories (Maui,

Telcom will add 4.166% to all print advertising billing beginning approximately
April 2006 to incrementally assess state excise taxes. 

COUNTERPARTS 

This Amendment may be
executed in any number of counterparts, but all such counterparts shall
constitute but one agreement. 

NO OTHER CHANGES 

Except as expressly
provided for in this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of
the Directory Services Agreement remain unaltered and are in full force and
effect. The Directory Services Agreement and this Amendment shall be read and
construed as one agreement. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the date first above
written.
