or filing to which any Second Priority Secured Party may now or hereafter be a party, and regardless of the time, order or method of grant, attachment, recording or perfection of any financing statements or other security interests, assignments,

any Lien securing any obligation of any Loan Party other than the Second Priority Obligations or (y) otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed. 
 (b) The First Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other First Priority Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the Second Priority Representative on behalf of itself and the other

on assets of any Loan Party by the Second Priority Representative in favor of the First Priority Representative shall not be deemed to subordinate such Liens of the Second Priority Representative (or any Second Priority Secured Party) to any Liens
other than (x) the Liens of the First Priority Secured Parties securing the First Priority Obligations and (y) Liens that are permitted under the First Priority Documents to be senior to the First Priority Liens, and (z) Liens
permitted pursuant to Section 5 hereof. 
 2.2 Nature of First Priority Obligations. The Second Priority
Representative on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties acknowledges that in the event the First Priority Obligations include debt that is revolving in nature the amount of First Priority Obligations that may be outstanding
at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the First Priority Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the First
Priority Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the Second Priority Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof but only so long as any such obligations are permitted to
be incurred pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Second Priority Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement. The lien priorities provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification,
supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the First Priority Obligations or the Second Priority Obligations, or any portion thereof. 

2.3 Agreements Regarding Actions to Perfect Liens. (a) The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other
Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that each patent, trademark or copyright filing or other filings or recordings (other than Uniform Commercial Code 

 
 9
 
  

 
financing statements) filed or recorded by or on behalf of the Second Priority Representative in respect of applicable Common Collateral shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, contain the
following notation: “The lien created hereby on the property described herein is junior and subordinate to the lien on such property created by any agreement, filing or recording now or hereafter granted to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A., as Collateral Agent (under the First Priority Documents), and its successors and assigns, in such property, in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of January 30, 2012, among THE BANK OF NEW YORK
MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A. as First Priority Representative, WILMINGTON TRUST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Second Priority Representative, ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH LLC, as Borrower, and the other Loan Parties referred to therein, as amended from time to
time.” 
 (b) The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees
that all mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds and similar instruments now or hereafter filed against real property comprising Common Collateral in favor of or for the benefit of the Second Priority Representative and the other Second Priority Secured
Parties shall contain the following notation: “The lien created by this mortgage on the property described herein is junior and subordinate to the lien on such property created by any mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument now or
hereafter granted to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Collateral Agent (under the First Priority Documents), and its successors and assigns, in such property, in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated
as of January 30, 2012, among THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A. as First Priority Representative, WILMINGTON TRUST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Second Priority Representative, ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH LLC, and the other Loan Parties
referred to therein, as amended from time to time.” 
 (c) The First Priority Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees
that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) over Common Collateral pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents, such
possession or control is also for the benefit of, and the First Priority Representative or such third party holds such possession or control as bailee and agent for, the Second Priority Representative and the other Second Priority Secured Parties
solely to the extent required to perfect their security interest in such Common Collateral (such bailment and agency for perfection being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the
Uniform Commercial Code). Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose any duty on the First Priority Representative (or any third party acting on its behalf) with respect to such Common Collateral or provide the Second
Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party with any rights with respect to such Common Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement and the Second Priority Security Documents, provided that as soon as
practicable after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the First Priority Representative shall (i) deliver, at the Borrower’s
sole cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements (x) first, to the Second Priority Representative to the extent any Second Priority Obligations remain outstanding and
(y) second, to the Borrower to the extent no First Priority Obligations or Second Priority Obligations remain outstanding, or (ii) direct and deliver such Common Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs, and
provided, further, that the provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties and shall not impose on the
First Priority Secured Parties any obligations in respect of the disposition of any Common Collateral (or any proceeds thereof) that would conflict with prior perfected Liens or any claims thereon in favor of any other Person that is not a Secured
Party. 

 
 10
 
  

 (d) To the extent that any deposit account or securities account of any Loan Party is
subject to a control agreement in favor of the First Priority Representative, the First Priority Representative will act as bailee and agent for the Second Priority Representative solely to the extent required to perfect the Liens of the Second
Priority Secured Parties in such deposit accounts and securities accounts and the cash and other assets therein. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose any duty on the First Priority Representative (or any third party acting
on its behalf) with respect to such Common Collateral or provide the Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party with any rights with respect to such Common Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement and the
Second Priority Security Documents. Unless the Second Priority Liens on such First Priority Collateral shall have been or concurrently are released, after the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the First Priority Representative shall cooperate
with the Loan Parties and the Second Priority Representative (at the expense of the Loan Parties) in permitting control of any deposit accounts and securities accounts to be transferred to the Second Priority Representative (or for other
arrangements with respect to each such deposit account and securities account reasonably satisfactory to the Second Priority Representative and in accordance with the Second Priority Documents to be made). 

2.4 No New Liens. So long as the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has not occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding
has been commenced by or against any Loan Party the parties hereto agree that (a) there shall be no Lien, and no Loan Party shall have any right to create any Lien, on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Second Priority Obligation if
these same assets are not subject to, and do not become subject to, a Lien securing the First Priority Obligations and (b) there shall be no Lien, and no Loan Party shall have any right to create any Lien, on any assets of any Loan Party
securing any First Priority Obligation if these same assets are not subject to, and do not become subject to, a Lien securing the Second Priority Obligations. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without
limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representative and the other Second Priority Secured Parties agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or
as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.4 shall be subject to Section 4.1.

Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) object to or contest or support any other Person in objecting to or contesting, in any proceeding (including without limitation, any Insolvency Proceeding), the
validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Priority Secured Parties in the First Priority Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Second Priority Secured Parties in the Second
Priority Collateral, as the case may be, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Priority Representative, any First Priority Secured Party,
the Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party to enforce this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations as provided in
Sections 2.1 and 3.1. Notwithstanding any failure by any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party to perfect its security interests in the Common Collateral or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third
party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security interests in the Common Collateral granted to the First Priority Secured Parties or the Second Priority Secured Parties, the priority and rights as between the First Priority Secured Parties
and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral shall be as set forth herein.

discretion.

(b) they will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Lien in respect of
any Second Priority Obligation pari passu with or senior to, or to give any Second Priority Secured Party any preference or priority relative to, the Liens with respect to the First Priority Obligations or the First Priority Secured Parties with
respect to any of the Common Collateral; 
 (c) they will not contest, oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder
or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Loan Party) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the
Common Collateral by any First Priority Secured Party or any other Enforcement Action taken (or any forbearance from taking any Enforcement Action) by or on behalf of any First Priority Secured Party; 

(d) they have no right to (i) direct either the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured
Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents or (ii) consent or object to the exercise by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority
Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have
any such right described in this clause (d), whether as a junior lien creditor or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive such right); 
 (e) they will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any First Priority Secured Party seeking damages from or other
relief by way of specific performance, injunction or otherwise, with respect to, and no First Priority Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any First Priority Secured Party with respect to the Common
Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Documents; and 
 (f) they will not seek, and hereby waive any
right, to have the Common Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Common Collateral. 

 
 12
 
  

 provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Second Priority Secured Party may exercise its
rights and remedies in respect of Common Collateral under the Second Priority Security Documents or applicable law after the passage of a period of 150 days (the “Standstill Period”) from the first date of delivery of a
notice in writing to the First Priority Representative and the Borrower of any Second Priority Secured Party’s intention to exercise such rights and remedies in respect of Common Collateral, which notice may only be delivered following the
occurrence of and during the continuance of an “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Second Priority Agreement; provided, further, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Second Priority
Secured Party exercise or continue to exercise any such rights or remedies if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, (i) the First Priority Representative or any First Priority Secured Parties to the extent constituting the
Required Holders (as defined in the Existing First Priority Agreement as of the date hereof) shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of any of its rights and remedies with respect to all or any material portion of
the Common Collateral or (ii) an Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Loan Party shall have been commenced; and provided, further, that in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Loan Party, the Second Priority
Representative and the Second Priority Secured Parties may take any action expressly permitted by Section 5. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing contained in this Section 3.2, the Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Secured
Parties may: 
  

	 	(1)	take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Common Collateral, or the rights of any First Priority Representative or the First Priority
Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof or the agreements set forth in Section 2) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the Common Collateral; 

 

	 	(2)	file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or
otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Priority Secured Parties, including any claims secured by the Common Collateral, if any, in each case in a manner that is not inconsistent with, or in contravention of, the express terms
of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(3)	file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements or take any positions that assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Loan Parties arising
under either any Insolvency Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case in a manner that is not inconsistent with, or in contravention of, the express terms of this Agreement; 

 

	 	(4)	vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim or statement of interest, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in a
manner that is not inconsistent with, or in contravention of, the express terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Second Priority Obligations and the Common Collateral; 

 

	 	(5)	exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Common Collateral after the termination of the Standstill Period to the extent permitted by this
Section 3.2; 

  

	 	(6)	present a cash or credit bid (in the case of any such credit bid, so long as such bid provides for payment in full of the First Priority Obligations and the occurrence
of the events described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date) at any Section 363 hearing or with respect to any other Common Collateral disposition; and

 
 13
 
  

	 	(7)	bid for or purchase Common Collateral at any private or judicial foreclosure upon such Common Collateral initiated by the First Priority Representative or any of the
First Priority Secured Parties. 

 3.3 Judgment Creditors. In the event that any Second Priority Secured
Party becomes a judgment lien creditor as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the First Priority Liens and
the First Priority Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are subject to the terms of this Agreement. 
 3.4 No Additional Rights For the Loan Parties Hereunder. Except as provided in Section 3.5, if any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party shall enforce its rights or
remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, no Loan Party shall be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a
counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party. 

3.5 Actions Upon Breach. (a) If any Second Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in
any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or the Common Collateral, such Loan Party, with the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any First
Priority Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of such Loan Party. 

(b) Should any Second Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to or threaten to take any action with
respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any First Priority Secured Party (in its own
name or in the name of the relevant Loan Party) or the relevant Loan Party may obtain relief against such Second Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by
the Second Priority Representative on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party that (i) the First Priority Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each
Second Priority Secured Party waives any defense that the Loan Parties and/or the First Priority Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages. 

3.6 Option to Purchase. (a) The First Priority Representative agrees that it will give the Second Priority Representative
written notice (the “Enforcement Notice”) within five business days after commencing any Enforcement Action with respect to Common Collateral or the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding (which notice shall be effective for all
Enforcement Actions taken after the date of such notice so long as the First Priority Representative is diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of its default or enforcement rights or remedies against, or diligently attempting in good faith
to vacate any stay of enforcement rights of its senior Liens on a material portion of the Common Collateral, including, without limitation, all Enforcement Actions identified in such notice). Following the commencement of an Enforcement Action or
the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party, any Second Priority Secured Party shall have the option, by irrevocable written notice (the “Purchase
Notice”) delivered by the Second Priority Representative to the First Priority Representative at any time, to purchase all of the First Priority Obligations from the First Priority Secured Parties. If the Second Priority Representative so
delivers the 

 
 14
 
  

 
Purchase Notice, the First Priority Representative shall terminate any existing Enforcement Actions, and shall not take any further Enforcement Actions, provided, that the Purchase (as
defined below) shall have been consummated on the date specified in the Purchase Notice in accordance with this Section 3.6. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchase is not consummated on or before the date specified in the Purchase Notice
for any reason, the First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to recommence taking Enforcement Actions. In addition, following any such failure the Second Priority Secured Parties shall not be entitled to exercise any right pursuant to this
Section 3.6 to Purchase the First Priority Obligations at any time thereafter, unless agreed to by the First Priority Secured Parties. 
 (b) On the date specified by the Second Priority Representative in the Purchase Notice (which shall be a business day not less than five business days, nor more than ten business days, after receipt by
the First Priority Representative of the Purchase Notice), the First Priority Secured Parties shall, subject to any required approval of any court or other governmental authority then in effect, sell to the Second Priority Secured Parties electing
to purchase pursuant to Section 3.6(a) (the “Purchasing Parties”), and the Purchasing Parties shall purchase (the “Purchase”) from the First Priority Secured Parties, the First Priority Obligations;
provided, that the First Priority Obligations purchased shall not include any rights of First Priority Secured Parties with respect to indemnification and other obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority Documents that are
expressly stated to survive the termination of the First Priority Documents (the “Surviving Obligations”). 

(c) Without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority Documents to the First Priority Secured Parties with
respect to the Surviving Obligations (which shall not be transferred in connection with the Purchase), on the date of the Purchase, the Purchasing Parties shall (i) pay to the First Priority Secured Parties as the purchase price (the
“Purchase Price”) therefor the full amount of all First Priority Obligations then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, interest (including, to the extent applicable, interest at the default rate), Post-Petition Interest,
fees, yield-maintenance amounts (if any), breakage costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and, in the case of any Hedging Obligations, the amount that would be payable by the relevant Loan Party thereunder if it were to terminate such Hedging
Obligations on the date of the Purchase or, if not terminated, an amount determined by the relevant First Priority Secured Party to be necessary to collateralize its credit risk arising out of such Hedging Obligations), (ii) furnish cash
collateral (the “Cash Collateral”) to the First Priority Secured Parties in such amounts as the relevant First Priority Secured Parties determine is reasonably necessary to secure such First Priority Secured Parties in connection
with any outstanding letters of credit (not to exceed 105% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of such letters of credit), (iii) agree to reimburse the First Priority Secured Parties for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including
attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any fees, costs or expenses related to any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the First Priority Obligations and/or as to which the First Priority Secured Parties have not yet
received final payment and (iv) agree, after written request from the First Priority Representative, to reimburse the First Priority Secured Parties in respect of indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority
Documents as to matters or circumstances known to the Purchasing Parties at the time of the Purchase which could reasonably be expected to result in any loss, cost, damage or expense to any of the First Priority Secured Parties, provided
that, in no event shall any Purchasing Party have any liability for such amounts in excess of proceeds of Common Collateral received by the Purchasing Parties. 
 (d) The Purchase Price and Cash Collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account of the First Priority Representative as it shall designate to the Purchasing
Parties. The First Priority Representative shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute the amounts received by it in respect of the Purchase Price to the First Priority Secured Parties in accordance

 
 15
 
  

 
with the First Priority Documents. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the day on which the Purchase occurs if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Parties to the account designated by
the First Priority Representative are received in such account prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such day if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Parties to the account designated by the
First Priority Representative are received in such account later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time. 
 (e) The Purchase
shall be made without representation or warranty of any kind by the First Priority Secured Parties as to the First Priority Obligations, the Common Collateral or otherwise and without recourse to the First Priority Secured Parties, except that each
First Priority Secured Party shall severally represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the First Priority Obligations being purchased from such First Priority Secured Party, (ii) that such First Priority Secured Party owns the First
Priority Obligations held by it free and clear of any liens or encumbrances and (iii) that such First Priority Secured Party has the right to assign the First Priority Obligations held by it and the assignment is duly authorized. 

3.7 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. The Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights
and remedies available to unsecured creditors against the Loan Parties that have granted Liens to secure the Second Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Documents and applicable law to the extent that such
exercise is not inconsistent with, or in contravention of, the express terms of this Agreement; provided that in the event that any Second Priority Secured Party becomes an attachment or a judgment Lien creditor in respect of the Common
Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Priority Obligations, such attachment or judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in
relation to the First Priority Obligations) as the other Liens on Common Collateral securing the Second Priority Obligations are subject to this Agreement. 
 3.8 Second Priority Interest, Principal, Etc. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Parties of payments
(including in cash) of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Second Priority Obligations unless such receipt is (x) the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second Priority Representative or any Second
Priority Secured Parties of rights or remedies with respect to, or enforcement of, any Lien on Common Collateral held by any of them, which exercise or enforcement is inconsistent with, or in contravention of, the express terms of this Agreement or
(y) from the proceeds of an Enforcement Action required to be applied in accordance with Section 4.1 below. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Priority Representative or the
First Priority Secured Parties may have with respect to the Common Collateral. 
 3.9 Notice By First Priority
Representative. The First Priority Representative shall render to Second Priority Representative written notice of the occurrence of the events described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of “First Priority
Obligations Payment Date” as soon as practicable (and in any event within two business days) following the occurrence thereof, provided that such notice shall not be required in connection with the consummation of a Replacement First
Priority Agreement. 
 SECTION 4. Application Of Proceeds Of Common Collateral; Dispositions And Releases Of Common
Collateral; Inspection and Insurance. 
 4.1 Application of Proceeds; Turnover Provisions. All proceeds of
Common Collateral (including without limitation any interest earned thereon) resulting from the sale, collection or other disposition of Common Collateral in connection with an Enforcement Action or the exercise by any First

 
 16
 
  

 
Priority Secured Party or any Second Priority Secured Party of any of its respective rights and remedies with respect to Common Collateral, whether or not pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding,
shall be distributed as follows: first to the First Priority Representative for application to the First Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Priority Documents, until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has
occurred and thereafter, to the Second Priority Representative for application in accordance with the Second Priority Documents. Until the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, any Common Collateral, including without
limitation any such Common Collateral constituting proceeds, that may be received by any Second Priority Secured Party in violation of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the First Priority Representative,
for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Second Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the First Priority Representative to make any such endorsements as agent
for the Second Priority Representative (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). 
 4.2 Releases
of Second Priority Lien. (a) Upon any release, sale or disposition of Common Collateral (other than in connection with the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date) permitted pursuant to the terms of the First Priority
Documents that results in the release of the First Priority Lien on any Common Collateral (excluding any sale or other disposition that is not permitted by the Second Priority Documents unless such sale or disposition is consummated in connection
with an Enforcement Action or consummated after the institution of an Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Loan Party), the Second Priority Lien on such Common Collateral (excluding any portion of the proceeds of such Common Collateral remaining
after the First Priority Obligations Payment Date occurs) shall be automatically and unconditionally released with no further consent or action of any Person. 
 (b) The Second Priority Representative shall promptly execute and deliver such release documents and instruments and shall take such further actions as the First Priority Representative shall request to
evidence any release of the Second Priority Lien described in paragraph (a). The Second Priority Representative hereby appoints the First Priority Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the First Priority Representative,
with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the Second Priority Representative and in the name of the Second Priority Representative or in the First
Priority Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the First Priority Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Section 4.2, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and
deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.2, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or
instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). 
 4.3 Inspection Rights and
Insurance. (a) Any First Priority Secured Party and its representatives and invitees may at any time inspect, repossess, remove and otherwise deal with the Common Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Priority Documents, and
the First Priority Representative may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Common Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Second Priority Secured Party or liability to any Second
Priority Secured Party; provided that the First Priority Representative shall provide the Second Priority Representative with notice of any sales. 
 (b) Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the First Priority Representative will have the sole and exclusive right (i) to be named as additional insured and loss payee under
any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Loan Party (except that the Second 

 
 17
 
  

 
Priority Representative shall have the right to be named as additional insured and loss payee so long as its second lien status is identified in a manner satisfactory to the First Priority
Representative); (ii) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder in accordance with the terms of the First Priority Documents; (iii) to approve any award granted in
any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Priority Documents; and (iv) to receive and apply the proceeds of any insurance (including any proceeds received under any policy
of title insurance issued to any Loan Party, the First Lien Representative or the Second Lien Representative and relating to any portion of the Common Collateral) or condemnation award to the First Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms
of the First Priority Documents. Until the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, any such insurance proceeds that may be received by any Second Priority Secured Party in violation of this Agreement shall be segregated and held
in trust and promptly paid over to the First Priority Representative, for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Second Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the
First Priority Representative to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Priority Representative (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). 

4.4 Subrogation. With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any Second
Priority Secured Party pays over to the First Priority Secured Parties under the terms of this Agreement, the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be subrogated to the rights of the First Priority Secured Parties; provided that, the Second
Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Creditors, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the First Priority Obligations Payment
Date has occurred. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by any Second Priority Secured Party that are paid over to the First Priority Secured Parties
pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the Second Priority Obligations. 
 SECTION 5. Insolvency
Proceedings. 
 5.1 Filing of Motions. Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the Second
Priority Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties that no Second Priority Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Loan Party, file any pleadings or
motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case that (a) violates, or is prohibited by, this Agreement, (b) asserts any right, benefit or privilege that arises in
favor of the Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Secured Parties in their capacity as secured creditors solely as a result of their interest in the Common Collateral or in the Second Priority Lien (unless the assertion of such right is
expressly permitted by this Agreement) or (c) challenges the validity, priority, enforceability or voidability of any Liens or claims held by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party, or the extent to which
the First Priority Obligations constitute secured claims under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided, that the Second Priority Representative may take the actions specifically set forth in Section 3.2.

 The First Priority Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other First Priority Secured Parties that no First
Priority Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case that challenges the
validity, priority, enforceability or voidability of 

 
 18
 
  

 
any Liens or claims held by the Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party, or the extent to which the Second Priority Obligations constitute secured claims under
Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, except that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of any First Priority Secured Party to enforce the terms of this Agreement. 

5.2 Financing Matters. Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, if any Loan Party becomes subject to
any Insolvency Proceeding, and if the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties consent to the use of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or
consent to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party that (w) is in an aggregate principal amount (including any undrawn portion of the revolving commitments thereunder and the face amount of any letters of credit
issued and not reimbursed thereunder) of no more than $10,000,000, the proceeds of which are used solely by the Loan Parties (and not by, or for the benefit of, any Loan Party’s affiliate which is not a Loan Party), (x) provides that the
Second Priority Secured Parties retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the cash collateral use or the financing that are materially adverse to the Second Priority Secured Parties, (y) provides the
Second Priority Secured Parties with the Second Priority Required Adequate Protection, and (z) does not compel the Loan Parties to pursue any specific plan or to conduct a sale or other liquidation of the Common Collateral (any such financing
that complies with such clauses (w)-(z), a “DIP Financing”), then the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that each Second Priority Secured Party
(a) will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (b) will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such
cash collateral or such DIP Financing except as set forth in Section 5.4 below and (c) to the extent the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing will subordinate (and will be
deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Second Priority Liens (i) to such DIP Financing on the same terms as the First Priority Liens are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement),
(ii) to any adequate protection provided to the First Priority Secured Parties and (iii) to any “carve-out” agreed to by the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties in an amount not to exceed
$2,500,000, and (d) agrees that notice received two calendar days prior to the entry of an interim order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving such financing and fifteen days prior to the entry of a final order approving such
usage of cash collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice. 
 5.3 Relief From the Automatic Stay. The
Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay (or any analogous stay) in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of a Loan Party or
take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Common Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative unless the First Priority Representative or any of the First Priority Secured Parties
have concurrently sought relief from the automatic stay (or from any analogous stay) in any Insolvency Proceeding and the Second Priority Representative and/or the other Second Priority Secured Parties are not seeking relief from the automatic stay
(or from any analogous stay) in any Insolvency Proceeding in order to take any Enforcement Action in any manner in violation of or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. 

5.4 Adequate Protection. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties,
agrees that none of them shall object, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, in respect of any Insolvency Proceeding of a Loan Party, (a) any request by the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority
Secured Parties for adequate protection or any adequate protection provided to the First Priority Representative or the other First 

 
 19
 
  

 
Priority Secured Parties or (b) any objection by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of
a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise. In any Insolvency Proceeding of a Loan Party, (i) if the First Priority Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection consisting of additional collateral (with replacement liens on such additional
collateral) and superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, then in connection with any such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and any of the
Second Priority Secured Parties, may seek or accept adequate protection consisting solely of (w) a replacement Lien on the same additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations and such DIP Financing on
the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are so subordinated to the First Priority Obligations under this Agreement, (x) superpriority claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the
First Priority Secured Parties, (y) payment of the fees and expenses of the Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Secured Parties, to the extent permitted in the Second Priority Documents (the adequate protection for the Second
Priority Secured Parties described in clauses (w), (x), and (y), collectively, the “Second Priority Required Adequate Protection”) and (z) subject to the right of the First Priority Secured Parties to object thereto, the
payment of post-petition interest at the pre-default rate (provided, that in the case of this clause (z), that the First Priority Secured Parties have been granted adequate protection in the form of post-petition interest at a rate no
lower than the pre-default rate), provided, however, that the Second Priority Representative shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured
Parties, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims in excess of $3,000,000 may with the consent of two-thirds in amount of the Second Priority Obligations be paid under any plan of
reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims and (ii) in the event the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself
and the Second Priority Secured Parties, seeks or accepts adequate protection consisting of additional collateral (with replacement liens on such additional collateral) and superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash
collateral with respect to an Insolvency Proceeding, and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral comprising assets of Pulitzer or any of its subsidiaries, then the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself
or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that the First Priority Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any
Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Priority Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other
Liens granted to the First Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are subordinated to such First Priority Obligations under this
Agreement. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that except as expressly set forth in this Section none of them shall seek or accept adequate protection in respect of a Loan
Party without the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative. 
 5.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First
Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including
without limitation because it was found to be a constructively fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the
First Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be 

 
 20
 
  

 
outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the First Priority Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such
Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The Second Priority Secured Parties agree
that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to the First Priority Liens or the Second Priority Liens, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise
allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement. 
 5.6 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. In an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, neither the Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose any
sale or disposition of any assets of any Loan Party that is supported by the First Priority Secured Parties (or any right of the First Priority Secured Party to credit bid the First Priority Obligations in any such sale or disposition), and the
Second Priority Representative and each other Second Priority Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale (and related matters) supported by the First Priority Secured
Parties and to have released their Liens on such assets provided that their Liens attach to the proceeds of such assets (subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement) and that the proceeds remaining after payment of related transaction
costs and expenses are applied as a permanent reduction of the First Priority Obligations (with a corresponding reduction in the Maximum First Priority Amount). In an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, neither the First Priority Representative nor
any other First Priority Secured Party shall oppose any right of any Second Priority Secured Party to credit bid the Second Priority Obligations in any sale or disposition, provided that such bid provides for the payment in full of the First
Priority Obligations and the occurrence of the events described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of First Priority Obligations Payment Date. 
 5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each of the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens on the assets of each Loan
Party pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents and the Second Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the
First Priority Obligations and the Second Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from each other and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the
intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Priority Secured Parties and Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim
(rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims
against the Loan Parties in respect of the Common Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Secured
Parties), the First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest before any
distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties. The Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to turn over to the First Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable
by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of the preceding sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties.

 5.8 No Waivers of Rights. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way
limit the First Priority Representative, the Second Priority Representative, any First Priority Secured Party, or any Second Priority Secured Party from objecting, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, to any action taken by any party not
permitted hereunder. 
 5.9 Plans of Reorganization. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the rights of any Second
Priority Secured Party to propose, support, or vote in favor of or against any plan of reorganization or similar plan or scheme in any Insolvency Proceeding, so long as such plan or scheme is not inconsistent with, or in contravention of, the
express terms of this Agreement, provided that in the case of proposing such plan of reorganization or similar plan or scheme it shall, unless otherwise approved by the First Priority Representative, provide for payment in full of the First
Priority Obligations and the occurrence of the events described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date. 
 5.10 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. 
 SECTION 6. Security
Documents. 
 (a) Each Loan Party and the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority
Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or other modification to any of the Second Priority Documents that (x) applies with respect to any Loan Party or any Common Collateral and (y) is
inconsistent with or in violation of this Agreement. 
 (b) Each Loan Party and the First Priority Representative, on behalf of
itself and the First Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or other modification to any of the First Priority Documents inconsistent with or in violation of this Agreement. 

(c) In the event the First Priority Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Priority
Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Priority Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then such
amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Priority Security Document to the extent applicable to any Loan Party and Common Collateral without the consent of or action by any Second
Priority Secured Party (with all such amendments, waivers and modifications subject to the terms hereof); provided, that (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of any Second
Priority Security Document, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 4.2, (ii) any such amendment, waiver or consent that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Second Priority Secured Parties
and does not affect the First Priority Secured Parties in a like or similar manner shall not apply to the Second Priority Security Documents without the prior written consent of the Second Priority Representative, (iii) no such amendment,
waiver or consent with respect to any provision applicable to the Second Priority Representative under the Second Priority Documents shall be made without the prior written consent of the Second Priority Representative and (iv) notice of such
amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the Second Priority Representative no later than 15 days after its effectiveness, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.

 
 22

SECTION 9. Miscellaneous. 
 9.1 In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any First Priority Document or any Second Priority Document (to the extent applicable to any Loan Party or

party in any other respect or at any other time. 

 
 24
 
  

 
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no consent of any Loan Party shall be required for amendments, modifications or waivers of any other provisions of this Agreement other than those
that directly affect any obligation or right of the Loan Parties hereunder or under the First Priority Documents or the Second Priority Documents or that would impose any additional obligations on the Loan Parties. 

9.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Each of the Second Priority
Representative and the First Priority Representative hereby assume responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the First Priority Obligations or the Second Priority Obligations. The Second Priority Representative and the First Priority Representative hereby agree that no party shall have any duty to advise any other party of information known

party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each such party agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any First
Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(b) Each First Priority Secured Party, each Second Priority Secured Party and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so (i) any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in
paragraph (a) of this Section and (ii) the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. 
 (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.7. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this

each of the First Priority Secured Parties and Second Priority Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein is intended, or shall be construed to give, any other Person any right, remedy or claim under,
to or in respect of this Agreement or any Common Collateral. 
 9.9 Headings. Section headings used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 9.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision
in any other jurisdiction. 
 9.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of

 Exhibit 10.17 
 EXECUTION VERSION 
 INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT 

THIS INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, this
“Agreement”), dated as of January 30, 2012 made by each of the undersigned (each, a “Party” and, together with any entity that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the
“Parties”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent (in such capacity, together with any successor collateral agent, the “Collateral Agent”), for the benefit of the Senior Creditors (as
defined below). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement referred to below. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, Lee Enterprises, Incorporated (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs
Lending Partners LLC, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Running Managers, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), have
entered into a Second Lien Loan Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2012 providing for the making (or deemed making) and continuation of Loans to the Borrower, all as contemplated therein (with the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent being herein called the “Secured Creditors”) (as used herein, the term “Loan Agreement” means the Second Lien Loan Agreement described above in this paragraph, as the same may be amended, restated,
modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, refinanced, replaced, or refunded from time to time, and including any agreement extending the maturity of, or refinancing or restructuring (including, but not limited to, the inclusion of additional
borrowers or guarantors thereunder or any increase in the amount borrowed) all or any portion of, the indebtedness under such agreement or any successor agreement, whether or not with the same agent, trustee, representative, lenders or holders;
provided that, with respect to any subsequent agreement providing for the refinancing or replacement of indebtedness under the Loan Agreement, such agreement shall only be treated as, or as part of, the Loan Agreement hereunder if
(i) either (A) all obligations under the Loan Agreement being refinanced or replaced shall be paid in full at the time of such refinancing or replacement or (B) the Required Lenders shall have consented in writing to the refinancing
or replacement indebtedness being treated as indebtedness pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and (ii) a notice to the effect that the refinancing or replacement indebtedness shall be treated as issued under the Loan Agreement shall be delivered by
the Borrower to the Collateral Agent); 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Subsidiaries Guaranty, each Subsidiary Guarantor has jointly
and severally guaranteed to the Secured Creditors the payment when due of all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiaries Guaranty); 
 WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit under the Loan Agreement that this Agreement be executed and delivered by the original Parties hereto; 

WHEREAS, additional Parties may from time to time become parties hereto in order to allow for certain extensions of credit in accordance
with the requirements of the Loan Agreement; and 

 WHEREAS, each of the original Parties desires to execute this Agreement to satisfy the
conditions described in the immediately preceding paragraphs. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the Parties and the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Creditors) hereby agree as follows:

 1. The Subordinated Debt (as defined in Section 7 hereof) and all payments of principal, interest and all other amounts
thereunder are hereby, and shall continue to be, subject and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full, in cash, of all Senior Indebtedness to the extent, and in the manner, set forth herein. The foregoing shall apply
notwithstanding the availability of collateral to the Senior Creditors or the holders of Subordinated Debt or the actual date and time of execution, delivery, recordation, filing or perfection of any security interests granted with respect to the
Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Debt, or the lien or priority of payment thereof, and in any instance wherein the Senior Indebtedness or any claim for the Senior Indebtedness (as defined in Section 7 hereof) is subordinated, avoided or
disallowed, in whole or in part, under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law. In the event of a proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, for insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy
or other similar proceeding pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law (each, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), the Senior Indebtedness shall include all interest accrued on the Senior
Indebtedness, in accordance with and at the rates specified in the Senior Indebtedness, both for periods before and for periods after the commencement of any of such proceedings, even if the claim for such interest is not allowed pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law. 
 2. Each Party (as a lender of any Subordinated Debt) hereby agrees that until the
Senior Indebtedness Termination Date shall have occurred: 
 (a) Such Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Required Senior Creditors (as defined in Section 7 hereof), which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the Required Senior Creditors’ sole discretion, commence, or join or participate in, any Enforcement Action (as defined in
Section 7 hereof). 
 (b) In the event that (i) all or any portion of any Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after
it becomes due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), (ii) any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any event of default under, and as defined in, any other Senior Indebtedness (or the documentation governing the
same), then exists or would result from such payment on the Subordinated Debt (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 11.09 of the Loan Agreement), (iii) such Party receives any payment or prepayment of principal, interest or
any other amount, in whole or in part, of (or with respect to) the Subordinated Debt in violation of the terms of the Loan Agreement or any other Senior Indebtedness (or the documentation governing the same) or (iv) any distribution, division
or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, is made of all or any part of the property, assets or business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the proceeds thereof, in whatever form, to
any creditor or creditors of the 

 
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to any holder of indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or by reason of any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Borrower,
any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, or of any receivership or custodianship for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or of all or substantially all of their respective property, or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings
or assignment for the benefit of creditors or any proceeding by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for any relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or laws, federal, foreign, state or local, or any law, federal,
foreign, state or local relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, composition or extension, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, which shall be payable or deliverable with respect to any or all of the Subordinated Debt or which has been received by any Party shall be held in trust by such Party for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and shall forthwith be paid or
delivered directly to the Senior Creditors for application to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness (after giving effect to the relative priorities of such Senior Indebtedness) to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all sums due
under the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Senior Creditors. In any such event, the Senior Creditors may, but shall not be obligated to, demand, claim and collect any such
payment or distribution that would, but for these subordination provisions, be payable or deliverable with respect to the Subordinated Debt. In the event of the occurrence of any event referred to in subclauses (i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv) of the second preceding sentence of this clause (b) and until the Senior Indebtedness Termination Date shall have occurred and all of the obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Senior Creditors have been
performed in full, no payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise) shall be made to or accepted by any Party in respect of the Subordinated Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, if
one or more of the events referred to in subclauses (i) through (iv) of the first sentence of this clause (b) is in existence, the Required Senior Creditors may agree in writing that payments may be made with respect to the
Subordinated Debt which would otherwise be prohibited pursuant to the provisions contained above, provided that any such waiver shall be specifically limited to the respective payment or payments which the Required Senior Creditors agree may
be so paid to any Party in respect of the Subordinated Debt. 
 (c) If such Party shall acquire by indemnification, subrogation
or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any of the assets or properties of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, that lien, estate, right or other interest shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness and
the lien of the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein, and such Party hereby waives any and all rights it may acquire by subrogation or otherwise to any lien of the Senior Indebtedness or any portion thereof until such time as the Senior
Indebtedness Termination Date shall have occurred. 
 (d) Such Party shall not pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer, convey or
sell any Subordinated Debt or any interest in any Subordinated Debt to any entity (other than under the relevant Security Documents (as hereinafter defined) or in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Loan Agreement to a Credit Party
which is a Party hereto) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (with the prior written consent of the Required Senior Creditors). 

 (e) After request by the Administrative Agent or the Required Senior Creditors, such Party
shall within ten (10) days furnish the Senior Creditors with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified setting forth the original principal amount of the notes evidencing the indebtedness of the Subordinated Debt, the unpaid principal
balance, all accrued interest but unpaid interest and any other sums due and owing thereunder, the rate of interest, the monthly payments and that, to the best knowledge of such Party, there exists no defaults under the Subordinated Debt, or if any
such defaults exist, specifying the defaults and the nature thereof. 
 (f) In any case commenced by or against the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal, foreign, state or local statute (a “Reorganization Proceeding”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Required Senior Creditors shall have the
exclusive right to exercise any voting rights in respect of the claims of such Party against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (g) If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness theretofore made (whether by the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person or enforcement of any right of
setoff or otherwise) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of Senior Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Credit Party or
such other Persons), the subordination provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made. 

(h) Such Party shall not object to the entry of any order or orders approving any cash collateral stipulations, adequate protection
stipulations or similar stipulations executed by the Senior Creditors in any Reorganization Proceeding or any other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (i) Such Party waives any marshalling rights with respect to the Senior Creditors in any Reorganization Proceeding or any other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. 

(j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any amount otherwise required to be held for or paid to the Senior Creditors is
required to be held for or paid to any other Senior Creditors (as defined in the Lee Intercompany Subordination Agreement or the Pulitzer Intercompany Subordination Agreement, as applicable) pursuant to the Lee Intercompany Subordination Agreement
or the Pulitzer Intercompany Subordination Agreement, the terms of the Lee Intercompany Subordination Agreement or the Pulitzer Intercompany Subordination Agreement, as applicable, shall supersede the terms hereof and such amounts may be held for or
paid to such other Senior Creditors (as defined in the Lee Intercompany Subordination Agreement or the Pulitzer Intercompany Subordination Agreement, as applicable) pursuant to the Lee Intercompany Subordination Agreement or the Pulitzer
Intercompany Subordination Agreement, as applicable, without resulting in any violation by such Party of this Agreement. 
 3.
Each Party hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows: 

 (a) each Party will deliver a schedule setting forth all Intercompany Debt to the
Administrative Agent within 10 days after any request by the Administrative Agent or the Required Senior Creditors (although any failure to deliver such a supplement shall have no effect whatsoever on the subordination provisions contained
herein, which shall apply to all Subordinated Debt whether or not listed on said schedule); and 
 (b) each Party will not lend,
hold or permit to exist any Intercompany Debt owed by it or to it (in accordance with the definition thereof contained herein) unless each obligee or obligor, as the case may be, with respect to such Intercompany Debt is (or concurrently with such
extension becomes) a Party to this Agreement. 
 4. Any payments made to, or received by, any Party in respect of any guaranty
or security in support of the Subordinated Debt shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and applied on the same basis as payments made directly by the obligor under such Subordinated Debt. To the extent that the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than the respective obligor or obligors which are already Parties hereto) provides a guaranty or any security in support of any Subordinated Debt, the Party which is the lender of the respective Subordinated Debt will cause each
such Person to become a Party hereto (if such Person is not already a Party hereto) not later than the date of the execution and delivery of the respective guarantee or security documentation, provided that any failure to comply with the
foregoing requirements of this Section will have no effect whatsoever on the subordination provisions contained herein (which shall apply to all payments received with respect to any guarantee or security for any Subordinated Debt, whether or
not the Person furnishing such guarantee or security is a Party hereto). 
 5. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that no
payments will be accepted by it in respect of the Subordinated Debt (unless promptly turned over to the holders of Senior Indebtedness as contemplated by Section 2 above) to the extent such payments would be prohibited under any Senior
Indebtedness (or the documentation governing the same). 
 6. In addition to the foregoing agreements, each Party hereby
acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to all Intercompany Debt (whether or not same constitutes Subordinated Debt), that (x) such Intercompany Debt (and any promissory notes or other instruments evidencing same) may be pledged, and
delivered for pledge, by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Security Document to which the Borrower or the respective such Subsidiary is, or at any time in the future becomes, a party and (y) with respect to all
Intercompany Debt so pledged, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies with respect to such Intercompany Debt to the maximum extent provided in the various Security Documents (in accordance with the terms thereof
and subject to the requirements of applicable law). Furthermore, with respect to all Intercompany Debt at any time owed to any Credit Party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the terms of such Intercompany Debt, each obligor
(including any guarantor) and obligee with respect to such Intercompany Debt hereby agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Senior Indebtedness, that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may at any time, and from
time to time, acting on its own or at the request of the Required Senior Creditors, accelerate the maturity of such Intercompany Debt if (x) any obligor (including any guarantor) of such Intercompany Debt is subject to any Bankruptcy Proceeding
or (y) any event of default under the 

 
Loan Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing. Any such acceleration of the maturity of any Intercompany Debt shall be made by written notice by the Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent to the obligor on the respective Intercompany Debt; provided that no such notice shall be required (and the acceleration shall automatically occur) either upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to the respective
obligor (or any guarantor) of the respective Intercompany Debt or upon (or following) any acceleration of the maturity of any Loans pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 10. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto or

 15. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

16. No amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against a party against whom the
enforcement of such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or termination would be asserted, unless such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or termination was made in a writing signed by such party, provided that amendments
