 (a) The term of Oak’s consultancy under this Agreement (the

term of the Agreement have not reasonably satisfied the expectations of the parties pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof (it being understood that the failure to comply with individual requests shall not by themselves constitute grounds for termination),
(B) Oak shall be given written notice by Weider of its intention to terminate Oak, such notice to state in reasonable detail the particular failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination is based, and (C) Oak shall
have six (6) months after the delivery of the notice specified in clause (B) in which to cure such failures. Prior to any termination of this Agreement by Weider, Oak shall be entitled to a hearing before the Board of Directors of Weider or its

thirty (30) days following the delivery to Oak of a COC Notice, provided that following a Change in Control of Weider the provisions of this Section 2.3(c) will not apply to any subsequent Change in Control of AMO or AMI. If Oak chooses not
to terminate the Term upon a Change of Control of Weider, then the guarantee of AMI as provided in Section 8.10 will immediately be terminated and be of no further force and effect. 
  
 (d) If a Liquidity Event has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2008, then Weider will have the option in its

the appointment of a receiver, trustee or custodian for Weider, AMO or AMI, as applicable, or (C) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (ii) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed

with Section 5.1(c), the 10% Advertising Payment for the Calendar Year in which such termination occurred shall be calculated in accordance with Section 5.2(b), and the Liquidity Event Payment shall be calculated in accordance with Section 6.2(a).

 ARTICLE V 
  
 PAYMENTS RELATED TO NET ANNUAL PRINT ADVERTISING REVENUES 

 
 Section 5.1 1% Advertising Payment. 
  
 (a) For each Calendar Year during the Term, Weider will pay Oak a cash
amount equal to 1% of the Net Print Advertising Revenues (“1% Advertising Payment”) for such Calendar Year; provided, however, that in no event shall such 1% Advertising Payment be less than $1,000,000 in any full Calendar
Year. 
  
 (b) The 1% Advertising Payment will be paid to Oak as
follows: (i) $250,000 each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 during the Term commencing on March 31, 2004 (or if any such day is not a Business Day, then on the next Business Day) and (ii) any remaining balance of the 1% Advertising
Payment due to Oak in a Calendar Year (i.e. the amount, if any, by which the 1% Advertising Payment exceeds $1,000,000 for such Calendar Year) within ninety (90) days after the end of such Calendar Year. 
  
 (c) If the Term is terminated for any reason on any day other than the last
day of a Calendar Year or if the Term is terminated pursuant to Section 2.3(e), then the 1% Advertising Payment will be paid to Oak through the last full month of the Term preceding such termination (e.g., if the Term ends on May 10, 2007, then for
Calendar Year 2007 Oak will be entitled to receive 1% of the Net Print Advertising Revenues from January 1, 2007 through April 30, 2007). Under such circumstances, within ninety (90) days after the end of the Term Weider will pay to Oak the amount,
if any, by which the 1% Advertising Payment for that partial year exceeds the amounts previously paid to Oak in respect of that partial year pursuant to clause (i) of Section 5.1(b) (e.g., if the Term ends on May 10, 2007, then within ninety (90)
days thereafter 
  

 14 

 Weider will pay to Oak the amount, if any, by which 1% of the Net Print Advertising Revenues from January 1, 2007 through
April 30, 2007 exceeds the $250,000 paid on March 31, 2007; it being understood that Oak will be entitled to retain any amounts paid pursuant to Section 5.1(b) in respect of a partial year in excess of the 1% Advertising Payment for such partial
year). 
  
 Section 5.2 10% Advertising Payment. 

 
 (a) For each full Calendar Year during the Term, Weider will pay Oak a
cash amount equal to 10% of the amount, if any, by which the Net Print Advertising Revenues for such Calendar Year exceed the Base Amount for such Calendar Year, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.2(d) (the “10% Advertising
Payment”). 
  
 (b) If the Term is terminated for any
reason on any day other than the last day of a Calendar Year or if the Term is terminated pursuant to Section 2.3(e), then the 10% Advertising Payment for the Calendar Year in which such termination occurred (the “Termination Year”)
shall be determined in the following manner: 
  
 (i) The Base Amount used in calculating the 10% Advertising Payment for the Termination Year will be adjusted to equal to the sum of (x) the immediately preceding Calendar Year’s Base Amount and (y) the product of (A) the product of
0.05 multiplied a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days elapsed from January 1 of the Termination Year through the date of such termination and the denominator of which equals 365 and (B) the immediately preceding Calendar
Year’s Base Amount. 
  
 (ii) The Net Print
Advertising Revenues for the Termination Year will be deemed to equal the Net Print Advertising Revenues for the twelve (12) calendar months ending on the last day of the calendar month preceding such termination (or the date of termination if it is
the last day of a calendar month). 
  
 (iii) The
amount of the 10% Advertising Payment for the Termination Year, if any, will equal the product of (x) the Net Print Advertising Revenues for such Termination Year as determined pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 5.2(b) minus the Base
Amount for the Termination Year as determined pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 5.2(b) multiplied by (y) the product of 0.10 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days elapsed from January 1 of the Termination
Year to the date of termination and the denominator of which equals 365. 
  
 (c) The 10% Advertising Payment will be paid to Oak within ninety (90) days after (i) the end of each Calendar Year during the Term or (ii) for the Termination Year, within ninety (90) days after termination of the
Term. 
  
 (d) If Weider, AMI, AMO or any of their respective
subsidiaries acquires or disposes of a Weider Magazine from or to a Third Party within a Calendar Year 
  

 15 

 (such Calendar Year, the “Event Year”), (x) for purposes of calculating the 10% Advertising Payment for
such Event Year in which an acquisition or disposition occurred, the Net Print Advertising Revenues for the Event Year shall be calculated in good faith after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such acquisition or disposition as if such
acquisition or disposition occurred on January 1 of the Event Year (or, if the Event Year is the Termination Year, the first day of the twelve (12) month period referenced in Section 5.2(b)(ii)); (y) for purposes of calculating the 10% Advertising
Payment for such Event Year in which an acquisition of a Subsequent Weider Magazine occurred and each Calendar Year occurring thereafter, the Base Amount for the Event Year shall be increased by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Weider Magazine
LTM Net Print Advertising Revenues of such Subsequent Weider Magazine and (ii) the amount equal to 5% of the Weider Magazine LTM Net Print Advertising Revenues of such Subsequent Weider Magazine multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of full calendar months in the Event Year immediately following such acquisition and the denominator of which is twelve (12); and (z) for purposes of calculating the 10% Advertising Payment for such Event Year in which a disposition of a
Weider Magazine occurred and each Calendar Year occurring thereafter, the Base Amount for the Event Year shall be adjusted by decreasing the Base Amount by an amount equal to the unadjusted Base Amount for such Event Year multiplied by a percentage
equal to the fraction, the numerator of which is the Weider Magazine LTM Net Print Advertising Revenues of such disposed Weider Magazine and the denominator of which is the total Net Print Advertising Revenues of all Weider Magazines for the last
twelve full calendar months immediately preceding such disposition. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustments to the Base Amount described in this Section 5.2(d) (A) do not affect the calculations of the Base Amount for any Calendar Year
immediately preceding the Event Year and (B) shall be reflected automatically in the calculations of Base Amounts for the Calendar Years following the Event Year. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 PHANTOM EQUITY INTERESTS 
  
 Section 6.1 Description of Phantom Equity Interests. 
  
 (a) The Phantom Equity Interests represent the contractual right to the receipt of a Liquidity Event Payment upon the terms set forth in this Agreement.
Oak, by its execution of this Agreement or acceptance of the benefits of the Phantom Equity Interests, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no holder of Phantom Equity Interests shall have any right to participate in the management of the business
and affairs of Weider or to vote on or approve of any matters requiring the consent or approval of the members of Weider or any Affiliate or Weider. 
  
 (b) Each of Weider and Oak acknowledges and agrees that the Phantom Equity Interests are not intended to be treated as securities or equity of Weider

 16 

 Section 6.2 Liquidity Event Payment. 
  
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, (i) the Phantom Equity
Interests will fully vest, and (ii) Weider shall pay Oak an amount equal to 1% of the Total Enterprise Value of Weider, subject to adjustment as described in the immediately succeeding sentence (the “Liquidity Event Payment”). If
the Term is terminated prior to December 31, 2008 pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or Section 2.3(e), the Liquidity Event Payment due Oak upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event occurring after such termination shall be reduced by the percentage
equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days from the date of such termination through December 31, 2008 and the denominator of which equals the number of days from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2008. For the
avoidance of doubt, the termination of the Term prior to December 31, 2008 will not affect the amount due Oak in respect of any Liquidity Event occurring prior to such termination. 
  
 (b) If the Liquidity Event is triggered by a transaction as described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of a
Liquidity Event, the Liquidity Event Payment shall be paid in the form of consideration received by Weider, AMO, AMI or their stockholders, as the case may be, in such transaction (or cash, (x) at the option of Weider or (y) at the option of Oak in
the event that all or a portion of the consideration does not consist of (A) cash, (B) promissory notes or other debt and/or (C) publicly-traded equity which shall be listed on NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ) (it being understood that Oak (i) shall not be
subject to any contractual lock-up provisions (other than those required by the federal securities laws) in connection with such publicly traded securities and (ii) shall be entitled to the benefit of the most favorable registration rights
agreements received by other selling securityholders), and the Phantom Equity Interests shall be canceled and no longer be considered outstanding and shall no longer have any rights hereunder. The Board will determine in good faith the amount
payable to Oak pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) based on the fair market value of the consideration paid by such purchaser in such transaction. 
  
 (c) If the Liquidity Event is triggered by a Qualifying Public Offering of Weider, the Liquidity Event Payment will be paid in the form of the equity
interests of Weider to be traded on a Stock Market (or cash, at the option of Weider or Oak), and the Phantom Equity Interests shall be canceled and no longer be considered outstanding and shall no longer have any rights hereunder. The Board will
determine in good faith the number of such shares of equity interests of Weider payable to Oak pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) by dividing the amount equal the Liquidity Event Payment by the offering price to the public per share of
such equity interests of Weider in such Qualifying Public Offering. 
  
 (d) If the Liquidity Event is triggered by a Qualifying Public Offering of AMO or AMI, at Oak’s option (but subject to compliance with applicable law) (A) Oak may retain the Phantom Equity Interests, (B) Oak may cash out the Phantom
Equity Interests for a cash amount equal to the Liquidity Event Payment calculated in good faith as of the consummation of such Qualifying Public Offering by the Board, or (C) Oak may exchange the Phantom Equity Interests for a number of shares of
common stock of AMO or AMI, as applicable, equal to the quotient of (1) the amount equal to the Liquidity Event Payment and (2) the offering price to the public per share of such common stock of AMO or AMI, as applicable, in such Qualifying Public
Offering, all calculated in good faith by the Board as of the 
  

 17 

 consummation of such Qualifying Public Offering. At any time following the filing of a registration statement relating to
a Qualifying Public Offering of AMO or AMI, Weider may notify Oak in writing of its intention to effect such Qualifying Public Offering (the “IPO Notice”), provided that in no event will the IPO Notice be delivered less than
ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of such Qualifying Public Offering. Oak will notify Weider in writing of its choice of options as described in this Section 6.2(d) within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the IPO Notice. If Oak
chooses either of the options described in clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 6.2(d), upon payment of the Liquidity Event Payment pursuant to this Section 6.2(d), the Phantom Equity Interests shall be canceled and no longer be considered
outstanding and shall no longer have any rights hereunder. Furthermore, if Oak chooses the option described in clause (C) of this Section 6.2(d), Oak’s receipt of the shares of common stock of AMO or AMI, as applicable, is subject to Oak making
such representations and warranties as are necessary to acquire such common stock of AMO or AMI, as applicable, in compliance with federal and state securities laws as determined by the Board in its sole discretion in good faith. 
  
 (e) If Oak chooses to retain the Phantom Equity Interests upon a Qualifying
Public Offering of AMO or AMI as described in clause (A) of Section 6.2(d), (x) upon the subsequent occurrence of a Liquidity Event as described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition thereof, Oak will receive the Liquidity Event Payment
applicable to such event calculated in good faith as of the consummation of such subsequent Liquidity Event in the form of consideration as specified and determined in accordance with Section 6.2(b), (y) upon the subsequent occurrence of a
Qualifying Public Offering of Weider, Oak will receive the Liquidity Event Payment applicable to such event calculated in good faith as of such subsequent Qualifying Public Offering of Weider in the form of consideration as specified and determined
in accordance with Section 6.2(c), and (z) if no event specified in clause (x) or (y) shall have previously occurred, upon each of the first, second and third annual anniversary (the “Anniversary Liquidity Events”) of the
consummation of such Qualifying Public Offering of AMO or AMI, Oak may choose to cash out the Phantom Equity Interests for a cash amount equal to the Liquidity Event Payment calculated in good faith as of such Anniversary Liquidity Events by the
Board. Upon payment of a Liquidity Event Payment pursuant to this Section 6.2(e), the Phantom Equity Interests shall be canceled and no longer be considered outstanding and shall no longer have any rights hereunder. 
  
 (f) Subject to subsection (g) below, the Liquidity Event Payment shall be
paid within thirty (30) days of the Liquidity Event or Anniversary Liquidity Event by delivery to Oak (i) immediately available funds by wire transfer, if such Liquidity Event Payment is payable in cash, or (ii) such number of Other Securities, if
such Liquidity Event Payment is payable in such Other Securities. 
  
 (g) Upon a Liquidity Event the Board shall, within five (5) days of the Liquidity Event, deliver to Oak its calculation of the amount of the Liquidity Event Payment together with a statement setting forth the methodology for calculating the
amount of the Liquidity Event Payment including, to the extent applicable, the relevant LTM EBITDA for the Weider Business, AMI and/or AMO. To the extent relevant to determine the amount of the Liquidity Event Payment, Oak shall have the right, at
its expense, to examine and/or review, or hire a third party to review on its behalf and at its expense, (i) the financial statements of AMI and AMO in order to determine if the LTM EBITDA of AMI and AMO was properly derived 
  

 18 

 from such financial statements, and (ii) any books of account and financial records and statements of Weider used to
derive the LTM EBITDA of the Weider Business in order to determine whether such LTM EBITDA was properly derived in accordance with this Agreement (it being understood that the right to review the books of account and financial records and statements
of Weider will not confer upon Oak any right to dispute or challenge any financial statements of AMO or AMI or such books of account and financial records and statements of Weider). In the event of a disagreement regarding the amount of the
Liquidity Event Payment as a result of the calculation of the LTM EBITDA of the Weider Business, AMI or AMO, (i) Oak shall deliver written notice to Weider within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the financial statements of AMI, AMO or Weider,
which notice shall state in reasonable detail the nature of such disagreement, and (ii) the parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve such disagreement within fifteen (15) days of the date of such notice specified in the immediately preceding
clause (i). If the parties cannot agree within such fifteen (15)-day period, such parties shall each submit their positions, together with the basis for such positions, to any mutually acceptable third party (or, if such parties cannot so agree, an
accounting firm selected in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.3(a) hereof with respect to the Independent Firm). Such third party shall have thirty (30) calendar days to resolve the disagreement, determining what adjustments, if
any, should be made to the amount of the Liquidity Event Payment (it being understood that such third party’s calculation of the Liquidity Event Payment shall not be higher than Oak’s calculation of the Liquidity Event Payment and shall
not be lower than Weider’s calculation of the Liquidity Event Payment). Weider shall then, within five (5) days of such determination, distribute to Oak any additional amounts due as a result thereof. The fees and expenses of such third party
or accounting firm will be shared equally by Oak and Weider. 
  
 (h) Upon the payment of the Liquidity Event Payment, the Phantom Equity Interests shall be deemed to be canceled and no longer outstanding and shall no longer have any rights hereunder. 
  
 Section 6.3 Options to Repurchase and Redeem. 
  
 (a) If a Liquidity Event has not occurred by the End Date, then after the
End Date Oak has the option pursuant to this Section 6.3 to require Weider to repurchase the Phantom Equity Interests, and Weider will have the option pursuant to this Section 6.3 to repurchase the Phantom Equity Interests from Oak. The repurchase
price for the Phantom Equity Interests will be a cash amount equal to 1% of the Total Enterprise Value of Weider as of the date of delivery of the Repurchase Notice (defined below), subject to adjustment as described in the immediately succeeding
sentence (the “Repurchase Payment”). If the Term is terminated prior to December 31, 2008 pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the Repurchase Payment due Oak pursuant to Section 6.3(a) shall be reduced by the percentage equivalent of a
fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days from the date of such termination through December 31, 2008 and the denominator of which equals the number of days from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2008. The Total Enterprise Value
of Weider used in calculating a Repurchase Payment pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) shall be mutually agreed by Oak and Weider. If Oak and Weider fail to agree within thirty (30) days of the date of the delivery of the Repurchase Notice as described
in Section 6.3(b), then Weider and Oak shall mutually select a nationally recognized investment banking firm (an “Independent Firm”) to determine the Total Enterprise Value of Weider used in calculating a Repurchase Payment pursuant
to this Section 6.3(a). 
  

 19 

 If Weider and Oak are unable to agree upon an Independent Firm within fifteen (15) days, then within an additional five
(5) day period, Oak shall submit to Weider a list of three nationally recognized investment banking firms. Within five (5) days of receipt of such list, Weider shall choose one of the three nationally recognized investment banking firms nominated by
Oak to determine the Total Enterprise Value of Weider used in calculating a Repurchase Payment pursuant to this Section 6.3(a). An Independent Firm chosen pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) shall determine the Total Enterprise Value of Weider used in
calculating a Repurchase Payment pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) no later than sixty (60) days from the date of delivery of the Repurchase Notice as described in Section 6.3(b). In making such determination, the Independent Firm shall have full
access to the books of account and financial records of Weider. Weider shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such Independent Firm. Weider’s option to repurchase and obligation to purchase under this Section 6.3(a) may be assigned by it
to any Person or Persons. 
  
 (b) Weider, Oak or their
assignee(s) may exercise its option under this Section 6.3 by providing written notice (a “Repurchase Notice”) to Weider or Oak, as applicable, of such election no later than January 31, 2009 (or January 31, 2011, if the End Date is
December 31, 2010). 
  
 (c) The completion of the purchases
pursuant to Section 6.3(a) shall take place at the principal office of Weider on the thirtieth (30th) day after the
Repurchase Payment has been determined (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day). The Repurchase Payment shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 
  
 (d) Following the repurchase of the Phantom Equity Interests pursuant to
this Section 6.3 they shall be deemed to be canceled and no longer outstanding and shall no longer have any rights hereunder. 
  
 Section 6.4 Restriction on Transfer. 
  
 (a) Oak agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Phantom Equity
Interests (any such act being herein referred to as a “transfer”) unless such transfer (x) is to Mr. S, (y) is to Mr. S’s Estate upon the death of Mr. S, or (z) is in compliance with federal securities laws to (1) a Mr. S Trust
or (2) a Mr. S Partnership; provided, that any such transfer pursuant to clause (x), (y) or (z) is made expressly subject to this Agreement and that the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof as if such
Permitted Transferee were Oak. For the avoidance of doubt, Permitted Transferees may not further transfer the Phantom Equity Interests unless such transfer is to another Permitted Transferee pursuant to this Section 6.4(a). 
  
 (b) Oak agrees and acknowledges that Oak will not, directly or indirectly,
offer, transfer, sell assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Other Securities unless such transfer is in compliance with federal and state securities laws. 
  
 (c) In the event of a Qualifying IPO of Weider, AMO or AMI, Oak agrees to enter into the same underwriter’s lock-up
agreement as generally applicable to the executive officers and directors of the entity consummating such initial public offering.
