DEFERRAL ELECTION FORM CLARIFICATION

December 23, 2008

Michael Goldstein

		Re:		DEFERRAL ELECTION FORM

Dear Michael:

     You executed an Election Form with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (the “Company”), dated July 1, 2004 (the “Election Form”), pursuant to which you elected to defer the receipt of certain shares of Class A common stock of the Company (the “Stock”) that you would have received under the Company’s Non-Employee Director Stock and Option Compensation Plan (the “Non-Employee Director Plan”). This letter agreement clarifies the Election Form to comply with Section 409 A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Except as otherwise clarified in this letter agreement, the Election Form remains in full force and effect.

1. All Stock that you have elected to defer pursuant to the Election Form (the “Deferred Stock”) will be paid to you in one total payment within sixty (60) days following your separation from service with the Company, as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1 (h) (“Separation”).

2. To the extent the Deferred Stock represents Stock that would have been payable to you prior to April 25, 2008, absent the Election Form, the Deferred Stock will be attributed to the Non-Employee Director Plan.

3. The Election Form, as clarified in this letter agreement, also applies to any Stock that represents the portion of your director fees that is payable in the form of Stock and that would have been payable to you on or after April 25, 2008, absent the Election Form, under the Company’s Omnibus Stock and Option Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). To the extent the Deferred Stock represents Stock that would have been payable to you on or after April 25, 2008, absent the Election Form, the Deferred Stock will be attributed to the Omnibus Plan.

4. The Election Form, as clarified in this letter agreement, will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Director Deferral Plan and to the extent that the Election Form, as clarified in this letter agreement, is inconsistent with such plan, the Director Deferral Plan will govern.

5. Notwithstanding the above, if you are deemed by the Company at the time of your Separation to be a “specified employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A, the Deferred Stock will not be paid to you until the first business day following the six-month anniversary of your Separation. Such deferral will only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to you, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) federal tax for which you would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(l)(B) of the Code in connection with Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code in the absence of such deferral.

     This clarification to the Election Form may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. To indicate your acceptance of this clarification to the Election Form, please sign and date this letter in the space provided below and return it to me no later than December 31, 2008.
