The Company expects to pay for Notes that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Consent Payment Deadline and that are accepted for payment, promptly following the date on which all conditions to the tender offers have been satisfied or waived. For Notes that have been validly tendered after the Consent Payment Deadline and that are accepted for payment, the Company will make payment promptly following the tender offer expiration date.

* The tender on or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline of Notes representing a majority of the principal amount of such Notes outstanding;

* The execution by the trustee of the supplemental indentures implementing the proposed amendments following receipt of the requisite consents; and

* All of the conditions precedent to the sale of PRIMEDIA Enthusiast Media Inc. having been satisfied or waived and the closing of the sale having occurred or occurring substantially concurrently with the first payment date.

The Company has retained Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Lehman Brothers Inc. to act as the Dealer Managers for the tender offers and Solicitation Agents for the consent solicitations.
