 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 JOINT OPERATING AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT OPERATING AGREEMENT dated as of December 22, 1988 between STAR PUBLISHING COMPANY, an Arizona corporation (“Star”), and CITIZEN PUBLISHING COMPANY, an Arizona corporation (“Citizen”).

  
 WHEREAS, Star publishes The Arizona Daily Star, a seven day
per week morning newspaper, including Sunday, and Citizen publishes the Tucson Citizen, a weekday afternoon and Saturday newspaper, both in Tucson, Arizona; 
  
 WHEREAS, Star and Citizen, or their respective predecessors, have entered into and are operating pursuant to that certain Operating Agreement dated March
28, 1940, as amended by agreements dated June 15, 1953 and October 14, 1970 (collectively, the “Operating Agreement”), whereby Tucson Newspapers, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“TNI”), was organized by Star and Citizen to handle,
manage and operate The Arizona Daily Star and Tucson Citizen, save and except for the news and editorial departments of each of the newspapers, which news and editorial departments have remained separate and independent; 
  
 WHEREAS, the current term of the Operating Agreement runs until June 1, 1990
and, pursuant to the terms thereof, has been renewed and extended for an additional twenty-five year period from such date; 
  

 - 2 - 

 WHEREAS, Star and Citizen desire to reformulate their arrangement to provide that the functions currently
performed by TNI, a corporation 50% of whose capital stock is owned by each of Star and Citizen, will be performed by a general partnership that is 50% owned by each of Star and Citizen, and to provide for the organization, operation and governance
of such partnership; 
  
 WHEREAS, the purpose and intent of this
Agreement is to provide a plan of common operation of the newspapers published by Star and Citizen, so as to afford economy in money and effort, produce better newspapers for their readers, improve acceptance for their advertisers, subserve public
interests by maintaining the separate identities, individuality and editorial and news freedom and integrity of each of said newspapers, and ensure the ability of each newspaper to maintain its journalistic characteristics and to meet the highest
standards of editorial quality and journalistic excellence; and 
  
 Whereas, this agreement continues to maintain as separate and independent the respective news, editorial and reportorial operations, departments and staffs (the “news operations” or “news departments”) of Star and
Citizen, consistent with the requirements of the Newspaper Preservation Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1801 et seq. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties hereby agree that the

Party”) (i) fails to make any payment to the Agency including, but not limited to, any properly authorized capital contribution, whether arising under the terms of this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement, or (ii) fails to pay its portion of

consequences of the failure by the Defaulting Party to have made such payment. In either such event, no distributions 

  

 - 12 - 

 
shall thereafter be made by the Agency pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof or otherwise until the full amount of such loan and/or such payment and/or the cost of
such cure that was made or incurred by the non-Defaulting Party (plus interest from the date of default to the date(s) of such repayment(s) at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) 150% of the rate announced from time to time by Morgan
Guaranty Trust Company of New York as its prime or reference rate or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law as in effect from time to time) has been paid in full to the non-Defaulting Party by the Agency. If at any time both partners are
entitled to the priority payments set out herein, then priority payments shall be made in the same ratio as the respective payments due to each of them bear to one another. 
  
 1.7 Dissolution of TNI. Effective on the Effective Date: (i) the status of TNI as agent of Star and Citizen under the
Operating Agreement shall terminate, except for the discharge of any liabilities of TNI not assumed by the Agency and any other winding up of TNI’s affairs; and (ii) the Agency will cause TNI to distribute to the Agency all or substantially all
of TNI’s assets and property rights of every kind and description. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Agency will cause TNI to be dissolved under the applicable provisions of Arizona law. 
  

 - 13 - 

 1.8 Assumption of Liabilities. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Agency will assume and agree to
pay, perform and discharge (i) any and all obligations and liabilities arising under the contracts assigned to it pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(1) or Section 1.3(a)(1) hereof, and (ii) all or substantially all of the contracts, obligations and
liabilities of TNI, contingent or otherwise, that are in existence as of the Effective Date. 
  
 1.9 Employees. It is the intention of the parties that: (i) on the Effective Date, the Agency will employ, or offer to employ, all those who were employees of TNI immediately before the Effective Date; (ii) the terms
and conditions of such employment by the Agency shall be the same or substantially the same as those in effect with TNI immediately before the Effective Date; and (iii) the Agency shall take such actions as are appropriate with respect to any
pension or employee benefit plans applicable to such employees in order to ensure that such plans (or their substantial equivalent), including credit for years of service, will be applicable to such employees in their capacity as employees of the
Agency. Nothing herein, however, is intended to confer on any employee of TNI or the Agency any legal or contractual right (as a third party beneficiary or otherwise) to be or remain 

  

 - 14 - 

 
employed by the Agency, to be or remain employed by the Agency on any particular terms and conditions of employment, or to be entitled to the continuation
of, or to participate in, any pension or employee benefit plan. 
  
 ARTICLE 2 
  
 ACTIVITIES OF THE AGENCY

  
 The parties agree that from and after the Effective Date:

  
 2.1 Publication and Operations. 
  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 hereof, the Agency shall print,
produce, distribute, sell and market (both circulation and advertising) The Arizona Daily Star seven mornings per week, including Sunday, and Tucson Citizen weekday afternoons and Saturday. The Agency shall control, supervise, manage and perform all
operations (other than news/editorial operations) involved in printing, producing, distributing, selling and marketing the newspapers; shall determine the edition times of the newspapers; shall purchase newsprint, materials and supplies as
appropriate; shall solicit and sell advertising space in such newspapers; shall collect for its own account all accounts receivable, whether such accounts receivable come into existence prior to, on or after the Effective Date; shall establish
circulation and advertising rates for such newspapers; and shall make all determinations 

  

 - 15 - 

 
and decisions and do any and all acts and things necessarily connected with the foregoing activities; 
  
 (b) The Agency shall promote and market each newspaper in a manner designed
to enhance or improve the advertising in and circulation of each newspaper and allow each newspaper to achieve its full market potential; 
  
 (c) The Agency shall provide all accounting and controlling services necessary in connection with the business and affairs of the Agency and the
newspapers; 
  
 (d) The Agency shall receive and collect all of
the receipts and income relating to The Arizona Daily Star and the Tucson Citizen, and from such income pay all operating expenses incident to the Agency’s operations and the publication of the newspapers in the manner and to the extent
provided in this Agreement; and 
  
 (e) Subject to Section 2.3
hereof, the Agency may engage in other activities that would be appropriate for an entity that owns one or more newspapers, including distributing or making available all or a portion of the information or advertising in the newspapers by printed or
other various means of distribution; commercial printing, including commercial printing of other publications; and any other activities necessary for or compatible with its principal business. Star and Citizen shall retain exclusive rights to all
news and information content (including photographs) generated for 

  

 - 16 - 

 
publication in their respective newspapers, but any sale or licensing thereof to wire services or otherwise shall be for the account of the Agency.

  
 2.2 Capital Assets. 
  
 (a) The parties presently intend that the Agency will own no capital assets,
and that in producing, and carrying on the business functions of, the newspapers under this Agreement, the Agency shall utilize plant, property and equipment owned or leased jointly by Star and Citizen. 
  
 (b) Each of Star and Citizen agree that they shall make available to the
Agency such plant, property and equipment as is appropriate for the Agency’s operations, including all capital assets that are currently used or held for use by TNI, Star or Citizen (whether or not jointly owned by Star and Citizen) and
including such capital assets as the Agency’s Board of Directors may in the future determine (pursuant to the budgeting process described in Section 2.5(a) hereof) are necessary or appropriate for the Agency’s operations or for the news
and editorial departments of Star and Citizen. In the case of such future capital assets, Star and Citizen will jointly (on an equal basis) acquire and fund the acquisition of such assets, and make the same available to the Agency, Star or Citizen,
as the case may be. 
  

 - 17 - 

 (c) All operating costs, including costs of repair, maintenance, light, heat, air conditioning,
janitorial services and the like, associated with all capital assets referred to in this Section 2.2 shall be an operating expense of the Agency or, if paid by Star and/or Citizen in the first instance, will be reimbursed by the Agency. 

 
 2.3 Editorial Independence. Preservation of the editorial independence of
each newspaper is of the essence of this Agreement. The editorial and reportorial staffs of the respective newspapers shall be independent and shall not be merged, combined or amalgamated, and their editorial policies shall be independently
determined. Star and Citizen shall retain complete and exclusive control of the news operations, contracts, conduct and contents, and the selection of the editors and news department employees, for their respective newspapers. Neither Star, Citizen
nor the Agency shall seek to influence or to impair the independent news, editorial and reportorial voice and content of any other party’s newspaper. Each of Star and Citizen shall independently develop standards for determining the
acceptability of advertising copy for publication in its newspaper, and the Agency shall apply these standards in determining the acceptability of advertising copy for publication in such newspaper. The news department of The Arizona Daily Star and
all employees engaged in said department 

  

 - 18 - 

 
shall be employed by and under the exclusive direction and control of Star. The news department of Tucson Citizen and all employees engaged in said
department shall be employed by and under the exclusive direction and control of Citizen. 
  
 2.4 News and Editorial Services and Expenses. 
  
 (a) Each newspaper shall maintain a staff of news and editorial employees appropriate to furnish, and shall furnish to the Agency, complete news and editorial services necessary and appropriate for the publication of
such newspaper as provided in this Agreement. Each newspaper, in furnishing news and editorial copy and like materials to the Agency for publication, shall conform to the mechanical standards and limitations which prevail in the Agency’s plant
or plants from time to time, including edition times established by the Agency. 
  
 (b) Subject to the reimbursement provisions of Section 2.4(d) hereof, all Editorial Expense (as defined in Section 2.4(c) hereof) of the news department of The Arizona Daily Star shall be borne by Star and all
Editorial Expense of the news department of the Tucson Citizen shall be borne by Citizen. 
  
 (c) The term “Editorial Expense” as used in this Agreement shall mean all costs and expenses associated with the news department of The Arizona Daily Star or of the Tucson Citizen. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Editorial Expense 

  

 - 19 - 

 
shall not include, and the reimbursement provisions of Section 2.4(d) hereof shall not be applicable to, the following: 
  
 (1) the capital cost of office space, equipment, and other
capital assets that are owned by Star and/or Citizen or that are jointly leased by Star and Citizen, and that in either case are related to the news departments of The Arizona Daily Star or the Tucson Citizen, such assets to be provided by, and the
cost of which shall be borne equally by, Star and Citizen, it being the intention of the parties that (i) the cost of such capital assets that have been acquired before the Effective Date shall be borne by Star or Citizen, as the case may be, as the
separate owner thereof, (ii) the ownership and cost of such capital assets that are jointly acquired on or after the Effective Date shall be shared equally by Star and Citizen, and (iii) the rental cost of any capital assets that either Star or
Citizen may elect separately to lease for its news department (and any operating costs associated therewith) shall, subject to Section 4.1(a)(x) hereof, be deemed an Editorial Expense and shall be subject to the reimbursement provisions of Section
2.4(d) hereof; 
  
 (2) any salary, benefits,
memberships, travel or other costs associated with the publisher (or equivalent local senior executive) of either newspaper, or any executive or parent-level persons who are not full-time employees of either newspaper, or any financial, accounting
or controlling 

  

 - 20 - 

 
employees of either newspaper, all such costs to be borne separately by Star or Citizen, as the case may be; 
  
 (3) the cost of defending, settling, paying or discharging
any liability or claim on account of anything published in the news or editorial columns of either of the newspapers, or an account of the advertising acceptability standards of either of the newspapers, where such liability or claim does not result
from an error in printing or the negligence of an employee of the Agency, it being the intention of the parties that (i) Star or Citizen, as the case may be, shall bear the full cost of such liabilities or claims, (ii) the Agency shall bear, as an
operating expense, the full cost of liabilities or claims resulting from an error in printing or the negligence of an employee of the Agency, and (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, costs incurred by Star or Citizen for insurance policies insuring
against such liabilities, as well as costs incurred for any pre-publication review of material prepared for publication in the news or editorial columns of either of the newspapers, shall in each case be deemed an Editorial Expense and shall be
subject to the reimbursement provisions of Section 2.4(d) hereof; 
  
 (4) any depreciation on any capital assets owned by Star and/or Citizen; 
  
 (5) any charitable contributions made by Star or Citizen, unless such contributions are specifically authorized 

  

 - 21 - 

 
by the Agency’s Board of Directors as being in the Agency’s best interest; 
  
 (6) any costs or fees incurred for any audit or review of the separate financial statements of Star or
Citizen; or 
  
 (7) any costs or expenses
incurred for any special cultural or promotional events that are not produced or sponsored by the Agency. 
  
 (d) On a monthly basis during each fiscal year, the Agency shall, as part of its operating expenses, reimburse Star and Citizen for their respective
actual Editorial Expense, as documented by each newspaper. In the event that the actual total Editorial Expense of either Star or Citizen for a full fiscal year shall exceed the aggregate reimbursable Editorial Expense budget for such newspaper
applicable to such year, then the amount of such excess shall be billed by the Agency to, and promptly paid by, Star or Citizen, as the case may be. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall in any way whatsoever limit the amount of Editorial
Expense that either Star or Citizen may, in its sole discretion, elect from time to time to expend. 
  
 2.5 Budgets and Allocations of News Space. 
  
 (a) On an annual basis, the Agency’s Board of Directors will consider and approve, for the Agency’s next fiscal year, capital and operating
budgets, including an 

  

 - 22 - 

 
aggregate reimbursable Editorial Expense budget for each of Star and Citizen, all in a manner and amounts consistent with the purposes and intent of this
Agreement. The determination by the Board of the capital and operating budgets, including an aggregate reimbursable Editorial Expense budget for each of Star and Citizen, shall take into account, among other things, the editorial and news expenses
incident to the nature, frequency of publication and edition times of the newspapers as contemplated by this Agreement. The Board may in its discretion review and revise any of such budgets from time to time. 
  
 (b) As part of the budgeting process, the Agency’s Board of Directors
will establish allocations of news space for The Arizona Daily Star and the Tucson Citizen, which shall include “newshole banks” of space beyond the normal allocations to be used for coverage of special stories or projects as separately
determined by Star or Citizen. Star or Citizen may exceed its respective allocations of news space (including such “newshole bank”) upon reasonable notice to the Agency; provided, however, that (i) such excess must be compatible with the
Agency’s production capability and scheduling, and (ii) the newsprint and production costs associated with such excess shall be billed by the Agency to, and promptly paid by, Star or Citizen, as the case may be, at the end of the applicable
fiscal year.

 - 24 - 

 
accounting principles consistently applied (except as otherwise agreed by the Agency’s Board of Directors). Star, Citizen and their respective
representatives shall have the right to inspect, copy or reproduce, each at its own expense, the books and records of the Agency. 
  
 3.4 Financial Statements. The Agency shall account monthly to Star and Citizen for all revenues and expenditures of the Agency and keep Star and Citizen
regularly informed of its affairs and business. In addition, the Agency shall cause to be delivered to Star and to Citizen the following financial statements and reports of the Agency (and of each of Star and Citizen, insofar as such statements of
Star or Citizen relate to activities contemplated by this Agreement) prepared, in each case, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except as may otherwise be agreed by the Agency’s Board of
Directors): 
  
 (a) promptly upon availability
and in any event within eight business days after the end of each fiscal month, (i) an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such month and a comparison of such balance sheet with the balance sheet for the same month of the fiscal year
immediately preceding, and (ii) an unaudited statement of income or loss for the interim period through such month and the monthly period then 

  

 - 25 - 

 
ended, in reasonable detail, and a comparison of such statements with statements for the same periods of the fiscal year immediately preceding; and

activities contemplated by this Agreement as either Star or Citizen (or their respective parent corporations) may from time to time request. 
  
 3.5 Auditors and Fiscal Year. The independent auditors of the Agency shall be selected by the Agency’s Board of Directors. The Agency shall keep its

 - 26 - 

 3.7 Tax Returns. The Agency shall cause income and other required tax returns for the Agency to be

 ARTICLE 4 
  
 GOVERNANCE OF THE AGENCY 
  
 4.1 Board of
Directors. 
  
 (a) The business and affairs of the Agency shall be
managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors in a manner consistent with the purposes and intent of this Agreement. The Board of Directors shall have and exercise final authority with respect to such business and affairs except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall have the sole power and authority to take or authorize the Agency to take the following actions:

  
 (i) Elect and remove the President and other officers of the
Agency; 
  
 (ii) Approve and revise budgets as provided in
Section 2.5 hereof; 
  

 - 27 - 

 (iii) Make any capital call to Star and Citizen as provided in Section 1.5 (a) hereof; 
  
 (iv) Determine the timing of editions and the production format of the two
newspapers, and determine whether the number of editions and/or sections of either newspaper shall be changed; 
  
 (v) Determine circulation and advertising rates for the two newspapers; 
  
 (vi) Determine the benefits and policies applicable to employees of the Agency; 
  
 (vii) Approve any material contracts that the Agency may enter into,
including without limitation any employment contract, any contract with any labor union, any contract with a duration of more than one year, any contract in any fiscal year involving a value in excess of such amount as shall be determined from time
to time by the Board of Directors, and any contract out of the ordinary course of business; 
  
 (viii) Determine whether and on what terms the Agency shall incur indebtedness for borrowed money; 
  
 (ix) Select the Agency’s outside auditors; 
  

 - 28 - 

 (x) Determine whether and on what basis the Agency shall acquire or lease any capital assets, and
determine whether and on what basis to reimburse Star or Citizen for the cost of any capital assets that may be acquired or leased separately by either of them; 
  
 (xi) Make any significant tax or accounting election for the Agency; 
  
 (xii) Waive any right of the Agency to receive any payment due to it from
either Star or Citizen; and 
  
 (xiii) Allocate appropriate
office space and other capital assets for the news departments and executive officers of Star and Citizen. 
  
 (b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both Star and Citizen, there shall be six members of the Agency’s Board of Directors, three of whom shall
be appointed by Star, and three of whom shall be appointed by Citizen. There shall in no event be an uneven number of directors, and each of Star and Citizen shall at all times have the right to appoint an equal number of directors. Each director
shall hold office until he shall die, resign or be removed (with or without cause, with or without notice) by the party by whom he or she was appointed, whereupon such party shall appoint a successor. 
  

 - 29 - 

 (c) As provided in the Partnership Agreement, if proper notice (as set forth therein) of a meeting is
given to all directors or waived, the presence at any meeting of the Board of Directors (in person or represented by proxy) of both (i) a majority of the total authorized number of directors, and (ii) a majority of directors who were appointed by
Star and a majority of directors who were appointed by Citizen, shall constitute a quorum for the taking of action. Subject to the written consent procedure described in Section 3.2(c) of the Partnership Agreement, the Board of Directors shall act
on all matters by an affirmative vote of both (i) a majority of directors present at any meeting in person or by proxy, and (ii) a majority of those directors who were appointed by Star and a majority of those directors who were appointed by
Citizen. 
  
 4.2 Officers of the Agency. 
  
 (a) The Agency shall have a President and such other officers as the Board of
Directors may from time to time determine. Officers shall serve for a one-year term unless they earlier die, resign or are removed. Any officer may be removed by the Board of Directors with or without cause or notice. 
  
 (b) Subject to this Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the
determinations of the Board of Directors, the President shall have full day-to-day operating authority, control and management of the business and affairs of the Agency. 
  

 - 30 - 

 (c) Subject to this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, any other officers of the Agency shall have
such authority as is from time to time determined by the Board of Directors. 
  
 4.3 Deadlocks. In the event of a controversy arising pertaining to the affairs of the Agency wherein the members of the Board of Directors representing Star and the members of the Board of Directors representing
Citizen are evenly divided, then: 
  
 (a) At the written call of
Star or Citizen, which call shall include a written statement specifically setting forth the matter or matters in controversy and the proposed resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors on which the Board is deadlocked, the parties shall
meet within fifteen (15) days from the date on which the written call is served for the purpose of resolving such controversy. If the parties shall also be evenly divided on the matter or matters so specified for more than fifteen (15) days
following the date of such meeting, then either Star or Citizen (the “demanding party”) may thereafter demand that the matter or matters in controversy be submitted to arbitration by serving a written demand on the other party. 

 

 - 31 - 

 (b) In the event of a demand for arbitration, the parties shall seek to mutually appoint a Disinterested
Person (as hereafter defined) to resolve the matter or matters in controversy. As used in this Section 4.3, “Disinterested Person” means a person who (i) has no employment, professional or financial interest in either party or in any
person, firm, corporation or other entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, either party and (ii) has significant experience in the newspaper publishing industry (who shall include for purposes of this
clause (ii) any director of the American Newspaper Publishers Association). 
  
 (c) If, within thirty (30) days after service of the demand for arbitration, the parties are unable to agree upon and mutually appoint a single arbitrator who is a Disinterested Director and is willing to serve, then
the parties shall provide for the appointment of a panel of three Disinterested Persons to resolve the matter or matters in controversy, as follows: 
  
 (i) Each of Star and Citizen shall name an arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person. Should the demanding party fail to name an arbitrator
who is a Disinterested Person within fifteen (15) days of the lapse of the aforesaid thirty 

  

 - 32 - 

 
(30) day period, the demanding party’s right to arbitration of the specific matter or matters in controversy shall lapse. Should the other party fail to
name an arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person within the same fifteen (15) day period, then the matter or matters in controversy shall be determined by the Disinterested Person appointed by the demanding party, acting as a single arbitrator.

  
 (ii) In turn, the two arbitrators so named
shall name a third arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person. Should the two arbitrators, within thirty (30) days after having been named as arbitrators as provided herein, fail to name a third arbitrator who is a Disinterested Person and is willing
to serve, then the demanding party, within thirty (30) days of the lapse of the aforesaid thirty (30) days, either alone or together with the other party, may apply to the presiding judge for the United States District Court for the District of
Arizona, sitting in Tucson, or if he refuses, within fifteen (15) days of such refusal, to the Senior Judge of the Pima County Superior Court, Tucson, Arizona, to designate and appoint a third arbitrator, from a list of six names submitted with the
application to the court. The list shall contain the names of three Disinterested Persons specified by each of the two arbitrators. The three arbitrators shall decide the matter or matters in controversy by majority vote. If the demanding 

  

 - 33 - 

 
party fails to make application to the court for designation and appointment of a third arbitrator within the specified time period (which shall include the
names of three Disinterested Person designated by the arbitrator named by it), the demanding party’s right to arbitration of the specific matter or matters in controversy shall lapse. If the other party fails to join in the application to the
court or to furnish the names of three Disinterested Persons designated by the arbitrator named by it, then the matter or matters in controversy shall be determined by the Disinterested Person initially appointed by the demanding party, acting as a
single arbitrator. 
  
 (d) The decision of a single arbitrator
shall be rendered in writing within thirty (30) days after his appointment, and where three arbitrators are acting said decision shall be rendered in writing within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator; provided, however,
additional time to render a decision may be taken by the arbitrator or arbitrators as he, she or they may deem reasonably necessary under the circumstances. The written decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall be final
and shall be binding upon the parties and the Agency. All expenses and compensation of the arbitrator or the arbitrators, as the case may be, in connection with any matter or matters in controversy shall be paid by the Agency. No arbitrator(s) shall
determine or have the power to determine 

  

 - 34 - 

 
whether any party is in breach of any obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement, it being the intention of the parties that the sole function of
the arbitration process described in this Section 4.3 is to provide a mechanism to break a deadlock at the Board of Directors of the Agency on matters that are appropriately before the Board and that are within the power and authority of the Board
of Directors pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties agree that if the Board of Directors is evenly divided and therefore unable to approve, for any fiscal year, the reimbursable Editorial Expense budget for either Star or Citizen, as contemplated by Section 2.5(a) hereof,
then the Board of Directors shall nonetheless be deemed to have approved for such fiscal year an aggregate reimbursable Editorial Expense budget that is identical to the budget (as the same may have been revised by the Board of Directors from time
to time) that was actually approved by the Board of Directors for the next preceding year. If the Board of Directors is evenly divided and unable to approve an aggregate reimbursable Editorial Expense budget for two or more consecutive years, then
the controversy shall be resolved and a budget for the year in dispute shall be set 

  

 - 35 - 

 
by way of the procedures described in Section 4.3(a)-(d) hereof. Pending such resolution, the parties shall proceed as if such budget were identical to the
budget that was in effect for the next preceding year, but upon such resolution such budget shall be effective retroactively to the beginning of the year for which the Board of Directors shall not have approved, or shall not be deemed to have
approved, a budget. 
  
 ARTICLE 5 
 DURATION; TERMINATION 
  
 5.1 Term; Renewals. This Agreement shall run for a period ending at the close of business on June 1, 2015, and may be renewed and extended for subsequent
periods of twenty-five (25) years each at the option of either Star or Citizen. Unless two years’ written notice is given by both Star and Citizen that they desire to end this Agreement or any renewal hereof, this Agreement shall continue in
force for subsequent periods of twenty-five (25) years each. Only by mutual written consent can this Agreement or any renewal hereof be terminated. 
  
 5.2 Termination; Dissolution of the Agency. 
  
 (a) This Agreement shall terminate only upon expiration of its term, including any renewals thereof, as provided in and subject to Section 5.1 hereof.

  

 - 36 - 

 (b) No partner shall cause the Agency to be dissolved except as provided in this Section 5.2(b), and the
Agency shall continue until so dissolved. The Agency shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following: 
  
 (i) expiration of the term of this Agreement, including any renewals thereof, as set forth in Section 5.1 hereof; or 
  
 (ii) upon the bankruptcy of a partner. For purposes hereof,
“bankruptcy” means with respect to any partner, (A) the making by such partner of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or admitting in writing its inability to pay its debts when due; or (B) the commencement by such partner with
respect to itself or its assets of any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other proceeding for the relief of financially distressed debtors; or (C) the appointment for such partner, or a substantial part of such
partner’s assets, of a receiver, liquidator, custodian or trustee, and, if any of the events referred to in this clause (C) occur involuntarily, the failure of the same to be dismissed, stayed or discharged within 90 days; or (D) the entry of
an order for relief against such partner under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other similar law enacted by the United States 

  

 - 37 - 

 
Congress to regulate bankruptcies; or (E) the commencement against such partner of any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or
other proceeding for the relief of financially distressed debtors if such proceeding remains undismissed for a period of 90 days; or 
  
 (iii) at the written election of a partner if a court of competent jurisdiction, in a judgment no longer subject to appeal or judicial
review, has found that (1) the other partner (and only the other partner) has willfully or persistently committed one or more material breaches of this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement, and (2) such breaches materially and adversely frustrate
the essential purposes and intent of the parties as expressed in this Agreement, and (3) the electing partner gave written notice to the other partner of such breaches and such breaches were not substantially cured within 90 days after such notice
was given; it being the intention of the parties that either partner may seek such a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction without being barred from doing so by reason of the provisions of Section 4.3 hereof, which provisions are intended as
a mechanism to break a deadlock at the Board of Directors of the Agency as provided in 

  

 - 38 - 

 
Section 4.3(d) hereof, rather than as a mechanism to determine whether any breaches of this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement of the nature described in
this Section 5.2(b)(iii) have occurred; or 
  
 (iv) in the manner and subject to the requirements provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Partnership Agreement. 
  
 No termination of this Agreement or dissolution of the Agency shall be construed to release any partner from liability at law or in equity to the other
partner or the Agency arising out of any breach of the terms of this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement. 
  
 5.3 Dissolution Prior to Expiration of Term. 
  
 As contemplated by Sections 5.1 and 5.2(a), it is the intention of Star and Citizen that both this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect until June 1, 2015 and thereafter for successive 25 year periods so long as either Star or Citizen wishes such renewals to occur. Star and Citizen recognize, however, that the partnership between them may be dissolved upon
bankruptcy of a partner (as provided in Section 5.2(b)(ii) hereof) or pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2(b)(iii) hereof or pursuant to the provisions of the applicable partnership law of the State 

  

 - 39 - 

 
of Arizona. In order to take account of the possibility of such a dissolution, the parties therefore wish to provide in this Section 5.3 for the orderly
continuation of this Agreement for its term and any renewals thereof in the unlikely and unanticipated event of, and notwithstanding, any such dissolution of the partnership between them that may occur. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 5.3 “Defaulting Partner” shall mean
(i) a partner who becomes bankrupt within the meaning of Section 5.2(b)(ii) hereof, (ii) a partner whose breaches led to dissolution of the Agency in accordance with Section 5.2(b)(iii) hereof, or (iii) a partner who causes a dissolution of the
Agency under applicable law but in contravention of this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement (whether by such partner’s express will or otherwise); “Non-defaulting Partner” shall mean the partner other than the Defaulting Partner;
“Buying Party” shall mean the party who purchases the other party’s property rights (as described in Arizona Revised Statutes Sections 29-201 et seq. or other applicable law) in the Agency and other assets pursuant to this Section
5.3; and “Selling Party” shall mean the party who sells its property rights in the Agency and other assets pursuant to this Section 5.3. 
  
 If the Agency dissolves after the Effective Date and prior to the expiration of the then current term of this Agreement (other than in the manner and in
accordance with the 

  

 - 40 - 

 
requirements provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Partnership Agreement), then: 
  
 (a) This Agreement and the joint operating arrangement contemplated hereby (as modified, however, pursuant to this Section
5.3) shall not terminate but shall continue for the remaining term of years (and any renewals) hereof. 
  
 (b) The Non-defaulting Partner (and not the Agency or the Board of Directors) shall, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Partnership
Agreement, have and exercise final authority with respect to all the affairs of the Agency between the date of dissolution of the Agency (the “Dissolution Date”) and the Closing Date (as defined below), and the Non-defaulting Partner may
exercise any and all authority conferred in this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement on the Board of Directors (whether by majority vote, unanimous vote, or otherwise) or on the Agency. 
  
 (c) Within 90 days after the Dissolution Date, the Defaulting Partner shall
give written notice to the Non-defaulting Partner of a specific dollar amount (the “Specified Amount”), which shall be a single number and not a formula of any kind. If the Defaulting Partner fails to do so, the Non-defaulting Partner
shall give written notice to the Defaulting Partner of a Specified Amount, and that shall be the Specified Amount for purposes of this Section unless the Defaulting Partner within 10 days thereafter gives the 

  

 - 41 - 

 
Non-defaulting Partner written notice of a different Specified Amount, in which event such different Specified Amount shall be the Specified Amount for
purposes of this Section. Within 180 days after the Dissolution Date, the Non-defaulting Partner may give written notice to the Defaulting Partner of the Non-defaulting Partner’s election either (1) to sell all its property rights as a partner
in the Agency and all its property rights in capital assets used or held for use by the Agency to the Defaulting Partner for the Specified Amount (in which event the Non-defaulting Partner shall be the Selling Party and the Defaulting Partner shall
be the Buying Party), or (2) to purchase all the Defaulting Partner’s property rights as a partner in the Agency and all its property rights in capital assets used or held for use by the Agency for the Specified Amount (in which event the
Non-defaulting Partner shall be the Buying Party and the Defaulting Partner shall be the Selling Party). If the Non-defaulting Partner fails to make a timely election, the Defaulting Partner shall within 210 days after the Dissolution Date make such
election on behalf of the Non-defaulting Partner, and the Non-defaulting Partner shall be bound thereby. The date on which such election is made is referred to herein as the “Election Date”. 
  
 (d) The closing of the purchase and sale contemplated by Section 5.3(c)
hereof (the “Closing”) shall occur at the principal offices of the Agency on a date (the “Closing Date”) 

  

 - 42 - 

 
selected by the Buying Party and as to which it has given at least 15 days’ prior written notice to the Selling Party. The Closing Date shall be not
less than 45 days nor more than 90 days after the Election Date. 
  
 (e) At the Closing, the Buying Party shall deliver to the Selling Party the full amount of the Specified Amount in immediately available funds. At the Closing, the Selling Party shall execute and deliver to the Buying Party such assignments
of interest, deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, and other instruments as the Buying Party may reasonably require, to give good and clear record and marketable title to all the Selling Party’s property rights as a partner in the
Agency and all the Selling Party’s property rights in capital assets used or held for use by the Agency. 
  
 (f) Following the Closing and for the remaining term of this Agreement (and any renewals thereof), the Buying Party shall print, produce, distribute and
market (both circulation and advertising) the newspapers in the same manner that this Agreement contemplates shall be done by the Agency, subject in all cases to the editorial independence of the newspapers as contemplated herein. Each of Star and
Citizen shall continue to be obligated to provide news and editorial product as provided in Section 2.4(a) hereof. All revenues, costs, expenses and distributions of money with respect to such newspapers shall be treated by the Buying Party in the
same 

  

 - 43 - 

 
manner that this Agreement contemplates shall be done by the Agency except that, for all periods of time subsequent to the Closing Date, distributions of all
funds in excess of the funds reasonably needed by the Buying Party for the conduct of the joint operating arrangement contemplated hereby shall be made 75% to the Non-defaulting Partner and 25% to the Defaulting Partner. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement, however, the Buying Party shall have sole and exclusive control, power and authority over all matters (excluding editorial matters of the Selling Party) related to the implementation of the joint operating arrangement contemplated by
this Agreement, including without limitation, all right, power and authority that this Agreement contemplates shall be exercised by the Board of Directors (whether by majority vote, unanimous vote, or otherwise) or by the Agency. 
  
 (g) Upon dissolution of the Agency and occurrence of the events contemplated
in this Section 5.3, nothing in this Agreement or the arrangements of the parties shall constitute the parties hereto partners, joint venturers, successors, alter egos, joint employers or an unincorporated association, or as having any relationship
other than as specifically provided by this Agreement (as this Agreement is modified however, pursuant to this Section 5.3). 
  

 - 44 - 

 5.4 Termination at End of Term. If both this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement terminate upon
expiration of their term, including any renewals thereof, and the purchase and sale contemplated by Section 5.3 shall not have occurred: 
  
 (a) Star and Citizen will meet with each other and use their best efforts to develop a just and equitable plan for discontinuing and dissolving the
Agency, distributing its assets in kind between Star and Citizen (after payment of all indebtedness and liabilities of the Agency and all costs of dissolution and liquidation) equally to Star and Citizen, and partitioning on an equal basis all
capital assets used or held for use by the Agency, so as to enable Star and Citizen to resume separate publication of The Arizona Daily Star and Tucson Citizen, respectively, as independent businesses (a “Distribution Plan”). If Star and
Citizen agree on a Distribution Plan, the assets of the Agency shall be distributed, and said capital assets shall be partitioned, in accordance with the Distribution Plan, the Licenses granted pursuant to Sections 1.2(b)(i) and 1.3(b)(i) hereof
shall automatically expire and terminate, and the Agency shall thereupon be dissolved. Except as provided in the Distribution Plan and upon the effective distribution of assets by the Agency pursuant thereto, neither Star nor Citizen shall have any
separate right, title or interest in or to any asset of the Agency. 
  

 - 45 - 

 (b) If Star and Citizen are unable to agree upon a Distribution Plan, or if the Agency’s assets are
not sufficient to pay all of its indebtedness and liabilities and all costs of dissolution and liquidation, the business affairs and assets of the Agency shall be liquidated as promptly as possible and receivables collected, all in an orderly and
businesslike manner so as not to involve undue sacrifice, and the assets of the Agency and the capital assets used or held for use by the Agency shall be converted into cash and all of its indebtedness and liabilities paid. In the event there is a
cash surplus available for distribution, the surplus will be distributed equally to Star and Citizen, and in the event there is a deficiency, the same will be made up by Star and Citizen in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof, and the Agency shall
thereupon be dissolved. 
  
 5.5 Change of Control. 
  
 (a) Neither control of Star or Citizen nor the assets or business of The
Arizona Daily Star or Tucson Citizen shall be transferred to any other person, corporation, partnership, trust or other entity unless the transferee assumes all obligations of Star or Citizen, as the case may be, under this Agreement, the
Partnership Agreement and the applicable License Agreement. Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 5.5(a) shall be null, void and of no effect. Neither 

  

 - 46 - 

 
Star nor Citizen shall transfer any of its right, title and interest in this Agreement or in its partnership interest in the Agency except as part of a
transaction permitted by this Section 5.5(a) in which control of Star or Citizen, or all or substantially all of the assets and business of The Arizona Daily Star or Tucson Citizen, are being transferred. For purposes of this Section 5.5(a), no
transfer or change of control shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a transfer to an Affiliate as permitted by Section 4.2 of the Partnership Agreement or a change of control, directly or indirectly, of the ultimate parent of Star or
Citizen, as the case may be. 
  
 (b) If from time to time either
Star or Citizen (the “transferring party”) intends to effect a transfer other than one referred to in the last sentence of Section 5.5(a), notice of such intent shall first be given to the other party (the “non-transferring
party”) at least 30 days before the transferring party enters into any definitive agreement, agreement in principle, letter of intent or similar understanding with a transferee regarding the material terms of such a transfer. If requested by
the transferring party, the non-transferring party will maintain the confidentiality of such notice. If, after giving such notice to the nontransferring party and within 150 days thereafter, the transferring party has not consummated with a third
party a transaction of the type contemplated by this Section 5.5, then this Section 5.5(b) shall again become applicable except to the 

  

 - 47 - 

 
consummation of a transaction with a third party that is contemplated pursuant to a definitive agreement (as it may be amended) that was entered into with
such third party during such 150 day period.

foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any member of the Board of Directors or officer of the Partnership served in any capacity at the request of the Partnership, by reason of the fact
that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a member of the Board of Directors or an officer of the Partnership, or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity,
against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and 

  

 -6- 

 
necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such member of the Board of Directors or officer acted, in good
faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the
Partnership and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 
  
 (b) The termination of any such civil or criminal action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its
equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that any such member of the Board of Directors or officer did not act, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or
any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interest of the Partnership or that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 
  
 (c) For the purpose of this Section 3.5, the Partnership shall be deemed to

the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be considered fines; and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such
person’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. 

 
 (d) Indemnification under this Section 3.5 shall be made by the
Partnership in any specific case only: 
  

	 	(i)	if the beneficiary thereof shall have prevailed in an action or proceeding brought against him or shall have been found to have acted in compliance with the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in this Section 3.5; or, 

  

	 	(ii)	 by the Board of Directors upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable
standard of conduct set 

  

 -7- 

	 	 
forth in this Section 3.5 has been met by such member or officer. 

  
 (e) The Partnership shall have the power, but shall not be obligated, to purchase and maintain insurance: 
  

	 	(i)	to indemnify the Partnership for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of the Board of Directors and officers under the provisions of this Section 3.5;

  

	 	(ii)	to indemnify such members and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by the Partnership under the provisions of this Section 3.5; and 

  

	 	(iii)	to indemnify such members and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Partnership under the provision of this Section 3.5.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements herein contained, the
parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Grant of License. Licensor hereby

the dates thereof, and any special agreements or commitments with advertisers, as well as lists of all insertion orders (the items in clauses (ii) and (iii) are collectively referred to as the “Intangibles”). 
  
 2. Term. The term of this License shall remain in effect for so long as and
only for so long as the Contract remains in effect. 
  
 3. Use by
Licensor. Licensor shall maintain quality control of the manner in which the Names are used by Licensee, all as provided in the Contract. Neither Licensor, Pulitzer Publishing Company nor any of their respective Affiliates shall use any of the Names
or the Intangibles in connection with the printing or distribution of a daily newspaper, the dissemination of news or editorial information, or the sale or dissemination of advertising, in each case in the Tucson, Arizona metropolitan area, or
otherwise in competition with the activities of the Licensee contemplated or permitted by the Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor, Pulitzer Publishing Company, and their respective Affiliates may engage in those activities described in

 5. Assignment. Licensee shall not, without Licensor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign, directly or
indirectly, its rights hereunder, except that no such consent shall be required if such assignment is made pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Contract. 
  

 -3- 

 6. Indemnification. Licensor agrees to indemnify and hold Licensee and its officers, agents and employees
harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any claim that Licensor did not have the right and power to enter into and perform this
License Agreement and to license the Names and the Intangibles to Licensee as provided in this License Agreement without infringing the rights of any third party. Licensor shall have the right to defend any such claim or action at Licensor’s
own expense with counsel of its selection, in which event Licensee shall have the right at its expense to participate in such defense with counsel of its own selection. Licensee shall notify Licensor promptly of any adverse use or infringement of
the use of the Names by any third parties and assist Licensor in all reasonable ways in the protection thereof. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 6, Licensor shall not be liable to Licensee for any loss or liability suffered by Licensee

made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether brought by a Partner or Affiliate of a Partner or any other person, whether civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or
foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any member of the Board of Directors or officer of the Partnership served in any capacity at the request of the Partnership, by reason of the fact
that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a member of the Board of Directors or an officer of the Partnership, or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity,
against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and 

  

 - 6 - 

 
necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such member of the Board of Directors or officer acted, in good
faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the
Partnership and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 
  
 (b) The termination of any such civil or criminal action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its
equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that any such member of the Board of Directors or officer did not act, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or
any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interest of the Partnership or that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 
  
 (c) For the purpose of this Section 3.5, the Partnership shall be deemed to
have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of
the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be considered fines; and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such
person’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. 

 
 (d) Indemnification under this Section 3.5 shall be made by the
Partnership in any specific case only: 
  

	 	(i)	if the beneficiary thereof shall have prevailed in an action or proceeding brought against him or shall have been found to have acted in compliance with the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in this Section 3.5; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 by the Board of Directors upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable
standard of conduct set 

  

 - 7 - 

	 	 
forth in this Section 3.5 has been met by such member or officer. 

  
 (e) The Partnership shall have the power, but shall not be obligated, to purchase and maintain insurance: 
  

	 	(i)	to indemnify the Partnership for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of the Board of Directors and officers under the provisions of this Section 3.5;

  

	 	(ii)	to indemnify such members and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by the Partnership under the provisions of this Section 3.5; and 

  

	 	(iii)	to indemnify such members and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Partnership under the provision of this Section 3.5.
