Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The McClatchy Company, a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the
“Initial Purchasers”), for whom you are acting as representative (the “Representative”), $310,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant

party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (in such capacity,
the “Trustee”) and as notes collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Notes Collateral Agent”), and will
be guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by each of the Guarantors listed on Schedule 2 hereto (the
“Guarantees”).

 

The Securities will be sold to the Initial
Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance
upon an exemption therefrom. The Company and the Guarantors have prepared a preliminary offering memorandum dated June 27, 2018
(the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) and will prepare an offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Offering
Memorandum”) setting forth information concerning the Company, the Guarantors and the Securities. Copies of the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum have been, and copies of the Offering Memorandum will be, delivered by the Company to the Initial Purchasers
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Offering
Memorandum, the other Time of Sale Information (as defined below) and the Offering Memorandum in connection with the offering and
resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this purchase agreement (the “Agreement”).
References herein to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed
to refer to and include any document incorporated by reference therein prior to the Time of Sale (as defined below) unless specifically
otherwise indicated and any reference to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect

such date and incorporated by reference therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to
such terms in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

 

     

     

    

 

At or prior to the time when sales of the
Securities by an Initial Purchaser were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared the following information
(collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as supplemented and amended by
the written communications (as defined in Section 14 hereof) listed on Annex A hereto including the term sheet substantially
in the form of Annex B hereto.

 

The Company and the Guarantors will initially
secure their obligations under the Securities and the Guarantees by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of
the assets of the Company and the Guarantors (the “Collateral”), subject to Permitted Liens (as defined in the Time
of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum) and other Excluded Property (as defined in the Time of Sale Information and the
Offering Memorandum). In connection with the offering, the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, and the Notes Collateral
Agent, will enter into a Security Agreement (as defined in Section 14 hereof), a Trademark Security Agreement (as defined in Section
14 hereof), a Copyright Security Agreement (as defined in Section 14 hereof) and Mortgages (as defined in Section 14 hereof), providing

for their obligations under the Securities and the Guarantees.

 

On or prior to the Closing Date (as defined
below), the Company will enter into (i) a new asset-based revolving credit facility (the “New ABL Facility”) among
the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities,
the “ABL Agent”), (ii) an intercreditor agreement between the Notes Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent, and acknowledged
by the Company and the Guarantors (the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement”), (iii) a junior lien term loan credit agreement
(the “Junior Lien Term Loan Facility”) among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Chatham Asset Management,
LLC, (“Chatham”) and Chatham’s affiliated entities named therein as lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon,
as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Junior Lien Agent”) and (iv) an intercreditor
agreement among the Notes Collateral Agent, the ABL Agent and the Junior Lien Agent, and acknowledged by the Company and the Guarantors
(the “Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement” and, together with the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the “Intercreditor
Agreements”).

 

As described in the Time of Sale Information
and the Offering Memorandum, proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Securities, together with borrowings under the New ABL
Facility and the Junior Lien Term Loan Facility, shall be used to (i) satisfy and discharge (the “2022 Refinancing”)
the Company’s outstanding 9.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “9.00% Notes”), (ii) repay any outstanding
borrowings under the Company’s existing Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2012, as amended
(the “Existing Credit Agreement), among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative
agent and L/C issuer (the “Credit Agreement Refinancing” and, together with the 2022 Refinancing, the “Refinancing”)
and (iii) pay fees and expenses in connection with the Refinancing and the issuance and sale of the Securities. For purposes
of this Agreement, the term “Transactions” shall refer to, collectively, (i) the issuance and sale of the Securities;
(ii) the Refinancing; (iii) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of the Security Documents (as defined in Section 14 hereof);
(iv) the entering into of the Intercreditor Agreements; (v) the effectiveness of the New ABL Facility; (vi) the effectiveness of

(including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in a connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred)
that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial
Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information,

(c)          Notice
and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall

may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person
shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been
materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further,
that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person
otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person
and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory

Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any
Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary;
(ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person;
(iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different
from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including
any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that
the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable
for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel)
for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate
firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall
be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantors, their respective
directors and officers and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Company.
The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled
with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified
Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the
written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person,
unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include
any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d)          Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of
the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors
on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company
and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions
as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total discounts
and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate
offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers
on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or any Guarantor
or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission.

 

(e)          Limitation
on Liability. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity
for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities
referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket legal or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required
to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser
with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

 

    	 	-25-	 

     

    

 

(f)          Non-Exclusive
Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may
otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

 

8.           Effectiveness
of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above.

 

9.           Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Company, if after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially
limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Select Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed
by the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general
moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall
have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within
or outside the United States, that, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable
or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery, of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by
this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.

 

10.         Defaulting
Initial Purchaser.

 

(a)          If,
on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase
hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons
satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial
Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be
entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers
to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting
Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full
business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers
may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company
agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects
any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement
unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases
Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

 

(b)          If,
after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers
by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of
such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities,
then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities
that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the
principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial
Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made.

 

    	 	-26-	 

     

    

 

(c)          If,
after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers
by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of
such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the
Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on
the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without
liability on the part of the Company or the Guarantors, except that the Company and each of the Guarantors will continue to be
liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not
terminate and shall remain in effect.

 

(d)          Nothing
contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company, the Guarantors or any
non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

 

11.         Payment
of Expenses.

 

(a)          Whether
or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company and each of
the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their
respective obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation
and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing
of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum
(including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each
of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Company’s and
the Guarantors’ counsel and independent accountants; (v) [reserved]; (vi) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such United
States and Canadian jurisdictions as the Representative may designate, the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky
Memorandum (including filing fees and the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers); (vii) any fees charged
by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and any paying
agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (ix) all expenses and application fees incurred in
connection with the application for the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; (x) the fees and expenses incurred
with respect to creating, documenting and perfecting the security interests in the Collateral as contemplated by the Security Documents
(including the related fees and expenses of counsel to the Initial Purchasers for all periods prior to and after the Closing Date)
and (xi) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors
(except that, subject to Section 11(b), the Initial Purchasers shall pay 50% of the cost of any aircraft used in connection with
the “road show”).

 

(b)          If
(i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9(ii) (other than as the result of an event of the type described in Section
9(i)), (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial
Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company and each of the Guarantors
jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of their counsel and the full cost of any aircraft used in connection with the “road
show”) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective successors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates, officers and directors of each Initial
Purchaser referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person

of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

in accordance with applicable law.

in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered to the Initial Purchasers against payment of the purchase price therefor

valid and binding obligations of the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, enforceable against the Company

by the Indenture.

 

    	 	D-1	 

     

    

 

		7.	Each of the Indenture, the ABL/Notes Intercreditor Agreement and the Subordination Agreement has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each Specified Subsidiary Guarantor and constitutes a valid and

to transactions of this nature; (c) violate any Reviewed Judgment; or (d) violate or constitute a default under any Reviewed
