THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 26, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Charles A. Koppelman (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires that the Executive continue to serve as its Executive Chairman following the Effective Date, and the Executive is willing to be so employed, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Employment Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to continue to employ the Executive hereunder, and the Executive hereby agrees to continue to be employed by the Company hereunder, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Transition Date (as defined below) (such period, the “Employment Term”). The Transition Date shall mean the earlier of December 31, 2011 or the date on which the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company reports directly to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Company will provide the Executive with two weeks advance notice of the Transition Date if it is prior to December 31, 2011.

(a) During the Employment Term, the Executive shall serve as the Executive Chairman of the Company. The Executive shall be the senior-most executive officer of the Company and shall have the duties and responsibilities customarily exercised by an individual serving in that position in a corporation of the size and nature of the Company; provided, however, that it is acknowledged and agreed that the employees of the Company (other than Martha Stewart) report to the President and Chief Operating Officer. In his capacity as Executive Chairman, the Executive shall use his best energies and abilities in the performance of his duties, services and responsibilities for the Company. In performing such duties, services and responsibilities, the Executive will report directly to the Board.

(b) During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time and attention to the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and shall not engage in any activity inconsistent with the foregoing, whether or not such activity shall be engaged in for pecuniary profit, unless approved by the Board; provided, however, that, to the extent such activities do not violate, or substantially interfere with his performance of his duties, services and responsibilities under, this Agreement, the Executive shall be permitted to manage his personal, financial and legal affairs and serve on civic or charitable boards and committees of such boards. The parties understand and agree that the

Executive may continue to serve on corporate, civic and charitable boards on which he sits as of the date of this Agreement (including as a director of Six Flags, Inc., a trustee of Asarco/Than Trust, a member of Counsel Financial II LLC, the Chairman of CAK Entertainment, Inc., a stockholder and director of SFNY, Inc, and a trustee of the United States Gypsum Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust) (such activities, together, and as may be amended pursuant to this paragraph, the “Non-Company Activities”). Executive shall not permit the Non-Company Activities to interfere with the Executive’s performance on behalf of the Company under this Agreement, and Executive agrees that, subject to the first sentence of this paragraph, he shall only accept new or additional responsibilities related to businesses other than the Company’s (such new or additional responsibilities constituting Non-Company Activities) to the extent Executive gives up a Non-Company Activity requiring a commensurate amount of time and effort. During the Employment Term, the Executive’s principal location of employment shall be at the Company’s executive offices in New York City, New York, except for customary business travel on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

(c) Upon any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all other positions he then holds as an employee or director or other independent contractor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Executive. Any such termination shall constitute a “separation of service” with the Company for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).

(a) During the Employment Term, in consideration of the performance by the Executive of the Executive’s obligations during the Employment Term (including any service in any position with any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company), the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at an annual rate of $990,000.

(b) During the Employment Term, in addition to the payments of the Base Salary set forth above, the Executive shall be eligible to receive, in respect of each calendar year during which the Employment Term is in effect (which, in the case of the 2011 calendar year, will include the period from January 1, 2011 through the Transition Date), a performance-based cash bonus of 100% of Base Salary at target and 150% of Base Salary at maximum based on achievement of goals established with respect to each calendar year by the Compensation Committee of the Board after reasonable consultation with the Executive. Such bonus, if any, shall be paid concurrently with other bonuses paid to senior executives of the Company, provided you are continuously and actively employed through such date of payment (except as otherwise provided in Section 9(a) below). Such bonus shall be paid in a lump sum no earlier than January 1st and no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such bonus relates.

(a) During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans, policies, programs, perquisites and arrangements, as

may be amended from time to time, that are provided generally to similarly situated employees of the Company (excluding for this purpose Martha Stewart) to the extent the Executive meets the eligibility requirements for any such plan, policy, program, perquisite or arrangement.

(b) The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred by the Executive in carrying out the Executive’s duties, services and responsibilities under this Agreement during the Employment Term, including, without limitation, first class transportation or travel on a private plane of the Company to the extent that such private plane is available.

6. Equity Compensation. Upon a Change of Control of the Company during the Employment Term, all unvested equity awards held by the Executive that were granted prior to the Effective Date (excluding, however, the Performance Shares if such Performance Shares have not vested by their own terms) shall become fully vested and (in the case of stock options) exercisable.

Nothing in this Section 7(b)(i) shall be construed to prevent the Executive from contesting the Board’s determination that Cause exists.

(1) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) or “group” (as such term is used in Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the Voting Stock of the Company; provided that this clause (1) shall not apply with respect to a stockholder of the Company who beneficially owns more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company on the Effective Date;

(2) all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company are disposed of pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other transaction unless, immediately after such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction own, directly or indirectly, in substantially the same proportion as they owned the Voting Stock of the Company prior to such transaction more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the company surviving such transaction or succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company or the ultimate parent company of such surviving or successor company if such surviving or successor company is a subsidiary of another entity (there being excluded from the number of shares held by such stockholders, but not from the Voting Stock of the combined company, any shares received by affiliates of such other company in exchange for stock of such other company);

(3) the Company adopts any plan of liquidation providing for the distribution of all or substantially all of its assets if such plan of liquidation will result in the winding-up of the business of the Company;

(4) the consummation of any merger, consolidation or other similar corporate transaction unless, immediately after such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction own, directly or indirectly, in substantially the same proportion as they owned the Voting Stock of the Company prior to such transaction more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the company surviving such transaction or its ultimate parent company if such surviving company is a subsidiary of another entity (there being excluded from the number of shares held by such stockholders, but not from the Voting Stock of the combined company, any shares received by affiliates of such other company in exchange for stock of such other company); or

(5) the failure of the Company to have any securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

(3) a reduction by the Company of the Executive’s base salary or target annual bonus percentage as in effect on the Effective Date.

The Executive’s right to terminate employment in a termination for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Subject to the requirements set forth above, the Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute a consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason hereunder.

(a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive during the Employment Term (other than pursuant to Sections 7(a)(i) and 7(a)(v)) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party.

Such payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement.

10. Confidential Information; Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation; Nondisparagement.

(a) Confidential Information. Except as may be required or appropriate in connection with his carrying out his duties under this Agreement, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or any legal process, or as is necessary in connection with any adversarial proceeding against the Company (in which case the Executive shall cooperate with the Company in obtaining a protective order at the Company’s expense against disclosure by a court of competent jurisdiction), communicate, to anyone other than the Company and those designated by the Company or on behalf of the Company in the furtherance of its business or to perform his duties hereunder, any trade secrets, confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company, its affiliates or any businesses or investments of the Company or its affiliates, obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s services to the Company that is not generally available public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive in violation of this Agreement).

(b) Noncompetition.

The Executive shall be considered to have become “associated with a Competitive Activity” if he becomes involved as an owner, employee, officer, director, independent contractor, agent, partner, advisor, or in any other capacity calling for the rendition of the Executive’s personal services, with any individual, partnership, corporation or other organization that is engaged in a Competitive Activity and his involvement relates to a significant extent to the Competitive Activity of such entity; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be prohibited from (a) owning less than two percent of any publicly traded corporation, whether or not such corporation is in competition with the Company or (b) serving as a director of a corporation or other entity the primary business of which is not a Competitive Activity; and provided, further, however, that the Executive shall not be deemed to have become associated with a Competitive Activity if the Executive becomes chief executive officer of an organization that engages in one or more Competitive Activities so long as (i) less than 10% of the annual revenue of such organization is derived from Competitive Activities and (ii) the Executive does not actively participate in the management or operation of the part of such organization that engages in any Competitive Activity. If, at any time, the provisions of this Section 10(b) shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope of activity, this Section 10(b) shall be considered divisible and shall become and be immediately amended to only such area, duration and scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter; and the Executive agrees that this Section 10(b) as so amended shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included herein.

Executive shall not author, co-author, or assist in the production or authorship of any story, book, show, script or other work about the Company or Martha Stewart without the Company’s prior review of such work and the Company’s written consent as to the production and content thereof.

(e) Injunctive Relief. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 10, each party agrees that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction to remedy any such breach or threatened breach, the parties acknowledging that damages would be inadequate and insufficient.

11. Reimbursement of Legal Fees. If any contest or dispute shall arise between the Company and the Executive regarding any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with such contest or dispute, but only if the Executive prevails to a substantial extent with respect to the Executive’s claims brought and pursued in connection with such contest or dispute. Such reimbursement shall be made as soon as practicable but not later than ninety (90) days following the resolution of such contest or dispute (whether or not appealed) to the extent the Company receives written evidence of such fees and expenses.

(a) General. The Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was a trustee, director or officer of the Company or any of its affiliates or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its affiliates as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including, without limitation, service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent while serving as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all Expenses incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if the Executive has ceased to be a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent, or is no longer employed by the Company and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators.

(b) Expenses. As used in this Agreement, the term “Expenses” shall include, without limitation, damages, losses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, excise taxes, settlements, and costs, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, and disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bonds, investigations, and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under this Agreement.

All obligations for indemnification hereunder shall be subject to, and paid in accordance with, applicable Delaware law.

(d) Partial Indemnification. If the Executive is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Executive for the portion of such Expenses to which the Executive is entitled.

(e) Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance upon request of the Executive that the Company pay such Expenses, but only in the event that the Executive shall have delivered in writing to the Company (i) an undertaking to reimburse the Company for Expenses with respect to which the Executive is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) a statement of his good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company has been met.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, which in the Company’s sole discretion may be regular counsel to the Company and may be counsel to other officers and directors of the Company or any subsidiary. The Executive also shall have the right to employ his own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding if he reasonably concludes that failure to do so would involve a conflict of interest between the Company and the Executive, and under such circumstances the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

(iii) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Executive under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its

Neither the Company nor the Executive will unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any proposed settlement.

(h) Non-Exclusivity. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 12 shall not be exclusive of any other right which the Executive may have or hereafter may acquire under any statute or certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any subsidiary, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or trustees or otherwise.

(a) Company’s Successors. No rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred, except that the Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be

required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

This Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Charles A. Koppelman (“Koppelman”) as of July 20, 2011.

Whereas, Koppelman is currently performing services for the Company in the capacity of Executive Chairman of the Company pursuant to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of July 20, 2011 by and between the Company and Koppelman (the “Employment Agreement”) and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”);

Whereas, Koppelman’s services under the Employment Agreement and as a member of the Board will terminate on the earlier of December 31, 2011 or the date on which the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company reports directly to the Company’s Board (the “Transition Date”);

Whereas, the Company desires to continue the services of Koppelman following the Transition Date, and Koppelman is willing to continue to perform services for the Company following the Transition Date, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations contained herein, intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and Koppelman agree as follows:

1. Term. Subject to Koppelman’s services under the Employment Agreement continuing through the Transition Date, this Agreement shall become effective as of the Transition Date and shall continue for the duration of Koppelman’s services as a member of the Board.

In addition, Koppelman will be nominated to continue to serve as a member of the Company’s Board at the annual shareholders’ meeting to be held in 2012, provided the Company’s stock remains listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange through such date. So long as he remains a member of the Board, Koppelman will serve as Non Executive Chairman, Vice Chairman or Special Committee Chairman, as the Board may determine in its discretion, and shall have such duties and responsibilities as may be assigned by the Board. In addition, from the Transition Date through December 31, 2012, Koppelman will make himself available to assist with an orderly transition of his responsibilities to a new principal executive officer as reasonably requested by the Company.

3. Compensation. During the term of this Agreement, Koppelman shall be entitled to receive Board fees on the same terms as apply from time to time to independent members of he Board, including an initial grant of restricted stock units equivalent to an equal number of

shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), having a value of $50,000 on the Transition Date, and containing terms substantially similar to those contained in initial Director grants, pursuant to the terms of the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. Omnibus Stock and Option Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). In addition, in consideration of his serving as Chairman, Vice Chairman or Special Committee Chairman and assisting with transition, Executive shall be entitled to receive on the Transition Date 100,000 performance-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) representing 100,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Plan, which shall vest as follows: 50,000 RSUs shall vest at such time as the trailing average closing price of the Common Stock during any 30 consecutive days during the period from the Transition Date through December 31, 2012 has been at least $6, and 50,000 RSUs shall vest at such time as the trailing average closing price of the Common Stock during any 30 consecutive days during the period from the Transition Date through December 31, 2012 has been at least $8. To the extent vested, the RSUs will be settled on December 31, 2012 or, if earlier, Koppelman’s termination of service as a member of the Board (other than on account of voluntary resignation by Koppelman or removal by the Company for cause). Upon voluntary resignation by Koppelman or removal by the Company for cause prior to December 31, 2012, any RSUs (whether vested or unvested) will be forfeited. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) of the Company prior to December 31, 2012, the Company will accelerate the vesting and settlement of the RSUs. The RSUs will be awarded pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Except for amounts accrued under this Section 3, Executive will not be entitled to any additional payments upon termination of his services under this Agreement.

Koppelman will not be entitled to participate in any of the Company’s employee benefit plans or otherwise receive any insurance or other employee benefits provided to employees of the Company on account of any services provided by him under this Agreement.

6. Withholding Tax. The Company shall not withhold federal, state or local taxes with respect to the compensation payable to Koppelman under this Agreement, and Koppelman shall bear sole responsibility for the payment of all taxes due in connection with such compensation.

7. Non-Exclusivity of Services. This Agreement does not prohibit Koppelman from performing services for other businesses, to the extent otherwise permitted under Section 10 of the Employment Agreement.
