<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;21, 2013, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) and J. C. Penney Corporation, Inc. (&#147;JCP&#148;)
entered into the Third Amendment (the &#147;Amendment&#148;) to the JCP/MSLO Agreement dated December&nbsp;6, 2011 (the &#147;Commercial Agreement&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company and JCP agreed that JCP would no longer manufacture and sell Company branded products in product
categories subject to a third party litigation and would continue to manufacture and sell Company branded products in the non-exclusive product categories set forth in the Amendment, such as windows, lighting and rugs. Further, the Amendment
provides that JCP will pay the Company design fees for the remaining product categories for a period of four years and guaranteed minimum royalties for a period of four and a half years, with an upfront payment of the first year guaranteed minimum
royalties. The term of the Commercial Agreement was also revised to expire on June&nbsp;30, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Amendment also provides for the
return of the 11,000,000 shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company held by JCP (the &#147;Returned Shares&#148;) and the one (1)&nbsp;share of the Company&#146;s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per
share, held by JCP (the &#147;Series A Preferred Stock&#148;). Upon surrender by JCP of the Returned Shares, the Series A Preferred Stock was cancelled by the Company in accordance with Section&nbsp;4 of the Certificate of Designations of Series A
Preferred Stock (the &#147;Certificate of Designations&#148;). Concurrently with the Amendment, the parties also entered into a Mutual Release of Claims (the &#147;Mutual Release&#148;) with respect to the parties&#146; obligations under the
Commercial Agreement that were subject to legal challenge as well as the related third party litigation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preceding description is

removed its Series A Designees, Robert W. Peterson and Michael Zacharia, from the Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) of the Company. Upon cancellation of the Series A Preferred Stock, JCP is no longer entitled to designate for election any

elimination of the Certificate of Designations. Upon surrender by JCP of the Returned Shares, the one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock was cancelled and no shares of the Series A Preferred Stock remained issued and outstanding. A copy of the
Certificate of Elimination is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In

Stock. The preceding description of the Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company&#146;s Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 21, 2013, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (the "Company") and J. C. Penney Corporation, Inc. ("JCP")
entered into the Third Amendment (the "Amendment") to the JCP/MSLO Agreement dated December 6, 2011 (the "Commercial Agreement").
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company and JCP agreed that JCP would no longer manufacture and sell Company branded products in product
categories subject to a third party litigation and would continue to manufacture and sell Company branded products in the non-exclusive product categories set forth in the Amendment, such as windows, lighting and rugs. Further, the Amendment
provides that JCP will pay the Company design fees for the remaining product categories for a period of four years and guaranteed minimum royalties for a period of four and a half years, with an upfront payment of the first year guaranteed minimum
royalties. The term of the Commercial Agreement was also revised to expire on June 30, 2017.
The Amendment also provides for the
return of the 11,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company held by JCP (the "Returned Shares") and the one (1) share of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per
share, held by JCP (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). Upon surrender by JCP of the Returned Shares, the Series A Preferred Stock was cancelled by the Company in accordance with Section 4 of the Certificate of Designations of Series A
Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations"). Concurrently with the Amendment, the parties also entered into a Mutual Release of Claims (the "Mutual Release") with respect to the parties' obligations under the
Commercial Agreement that were subject to legal challenge as well as the related third party litigation.
The preceding description is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment and the Mutual Release, which are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 1.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The information regarding the Certificate of Elimination included in Item 5.03 is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
Effective October 21, 2013, upon the return of the Returned Shares and pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, JCP
removed its Series A Designees, Robert W. Peterson and Michael Zacharia, from the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company. Upon cancellation of the Series A Preferred Stock, JCP is no longer entitled to designate for election any
members of the Company's Board.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On October 21, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware affecting the
elimination of the Certificate of Designations. Upon surrender by JCP of the Returned Shares, the one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock was cancelled and no shares of the Series A Preferred Stock remained issued and outstanding. A copy of the
Certificate of Elimination is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
In
connection with the transactions described above, the Board of the Company approved the Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws, effective as of October 21, 2013, which removed certain references to the rights of holders of Series A Preferred
Stock. The preceding description of the Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
which is incorporated herein by reference.
