Concurrently with the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, WHF and TPG STAR SNI entered into the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of October 14, 2010 (the “Stockholders Agreement”).
 
Stockholders Agreement
 
Board Representation
 
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, WHF agreed, among other things, to vote all Shares it beneficially owns (the “Weider Shares”) in favor of, or to otherwise approve and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuer to:
 
(a) include on the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”):
 
(i) two (2) directors designated by TPG STAR SNI, plus a number of directors designated by TPG STAR SNI that is equal to (x) the product of the number of directors then serving on the Board, multiplied by the percentage of TPG’s and its affiliates’ collective  ownership of the total number of Shares outstanding, rounded down to the nearest whole number, less (y) two (2);
 
(ii) for so long as TPG STAR SNI and its respective affiliates beneficially own more than 25% but less than 100% of the Purchased Shares (and subject to clause (iii)), two (2) directors designated by TPG STAR SNI; and
 
(iii) for so long as TPG STAR SNI and its respective affiliates beneficially own more than 25% but less than 50% of the Purchased Shares and WHF beneficially owns at least 50% of the shares of Class B Common Stock owned as of the date of the Stockholders Agreement, one (1) director designated by TPG STAR SNI (such designated directors described in the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii), the “Designated Directors”).
 
(b) appoint and remove the Designated Directors from the Board, and to fill vacancies created by the departures of any Designated Director, in each case as directed by TPG STAR SNI;
 
(c) for as long as TPG STAR SNI and its respective affiliates continue to beneficially own at least ten percent (10%) of the Purchased Shares, but do not have one (1) or more Designated Directors on the Board, include on the Board one (1) non-voting observer designated by TPG STAR SNI;
 
(d) for so long as one (1) or more Designated Directors serve on the Board, appoint to each Board committee (other than the audit committee) at least one (1) Designated Director; and
 
(e) enter into indemnification and reimbursement agreements with each Designated Director.
 
The Issuer’s Board retains the right to object to the appointment of any Designated Director if it determines in good faith, after consultation with legal counsel, that the appointment of such Designated Director would fail to meet the generally accepted minimum qualifications for serving as a member of the board of directors of a public company (excluding such qualifications that apply solely for purposes of testing the independence of such person or that apply solely to members of the audit committee of any such company), as further described in the Stockholders Agreement.

(d) any acquisition of, or other investment in (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), any other person, other than an acquisition or investment in another person that does not exceed $7,500,000 or that, if consummated, does not result in a Change of Control transaction (unless TPG STAR SNI will receive at least three (3) times the purchase price originally paid for the Purchased Shares);

The Stockholders Agreement includes mutual tag-along rights, whereby either of WHF or TPG STAR SNI has the right to participate in sales of Shares by the other party, subject to specified limitations and exceptions.  The Stockholders Agreement also includes mutual drag-along rights if WHF or TPG STAR SNI proposes to sell, transfer, or take certain other actions with respect to its or their Shares in connection with a Qualified Change of Control (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), whereby either of WHF or TPG STAR SNI has the right to require the other party to participate in such transfer.
 
Termination
 
The Stockholders Agreement will terminate if TPG STAR SNI and its respective affiliates cease to own at least 10% of the shares of Class A Common Stock originally purchased pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.  In the event TPG STAR SNI and its respective affiliates cease to own the requisite threshold percentages of Class A Common Stock for purposes of designating directors and causing WHF to vote against certain actions (as described under “Board Representation” and “Voting Requirements” above), such board representation and voting rights will be irrevocably terminated and will not be reinstated, recovered or reactivated upon the later acquisition by TPG STAR SNI or it s respective affiliates of additional Shares.

(a)           Each party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that each and every one of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms, and it is therefore agreed that, in addition to, and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order, or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically each and every one of the terms and provisions hereof.  Each party hereto agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the sec uring or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
