date of such termination the executive had attained at least age 55 and had completed at least five years of service.
The Plan also covers eligible dependents of a deceased eligible former executive who died while a participant in the

of the Plan will be eligible with respect to any covered medical expenses incurred by such executive or eligible
dependents on or after the date of eligibility under the Plan. A former executive’s eligible dependents will include

such former executive during such plan year with respect to himself/herself and eligible dependents; and

TERMINATION OF BENEFITS

No benefits will be paid under this Plan for covered medical expenses incurred with respect to the medical

of an eligible dependent under this Plan.

CLAIMS/APPEALS

The following procedures shall apply if a participant (or an authorized representative acting on a participant’s
behalf) has a question about his/her eligibility to participate in the Plan. These rules do not apply if a participant
is claiming the right to be reimbursed for a particular expense under the Plan. If a participant is filing a claim for
reimbursement for a particular expense, the participant must do so under the claims procedures established by the
insurance company that is responsible for paying for benefits under the Plan. Such procedures may be obtained from the
Gannett Corporate Benefits Department upon request at no charge.

Any claim relating to eligibility shall be submitted to the Company’s Director of Benefits in writing. The
Director of Benefits will generally notify the claimant of his decision within 30 days after he receives the claim.
However, if the Director of Benefits determines that special circumstances require an extension of time to decide the
claim, the Director of Benefits may obtain an additional 15 days to decide the claim. Before obtaining this extension,
the Director of Benefits will notify the claimant, in writing and before the end of the initial 30-day period, of the special
circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Director of Benefits expects to render a decision.

If the claimant’s claim is denied in whole or in part, the Director of Benefits will provide the claimant, within
the time period described above, with a written or electronic notice which explains the reason or reasons for the
decision, includes specific references to plan provisions upon which the decision is based, provides a description of
any additional material or information which might be helpful to decide the claim (including an explanation of why that
information may be necessary), describes the appeals procedures and applicable filing deadlines, and describes the
claimant’s right to file a lawsuit under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)
upon an adverse appeals determination.

If a claimant disagrees with the decision reached by the Director of Benefits, the claimant may submit a written
appeal requesting a review of the decision to the Company’s Benefit Plans Committee (the “Plan Administrator”). The
claimant’s written appeal must be submitted within 180 days of receiving the initial adverse decision. The claimant’s
written appeal should clearly state the reason or reasons why the claimant disagrees with the Director of Benefits’
decision. The claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim
even if such information was not submitted in connection with the initial claim for benefits. Additionally, the
claimant, upon request and free of charge, may have reasonable access and copies of all Plan documents, records and
other information relevant to the claim.

The Plan Administrator will generally decide a claimant’s appeal within 60 days. In the case of an adverse
decision, the notice will explain the reason or reasons for the decision, include specific references to Plan
provisions upon which the decision is based, and indicate that the claimant is entitled to, upon request and free of
charge, reasonable access to and copies of documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim.
Additionally, the claimant will be notified of his/her right to file a lawsuit under ERISA.

The Plan Administrator has full discretionary authority for deciding all eligibility issues relating to the Plan
and all such decisions of the Plan Administrator are binding on all parties. Any claims or questions relating to Plan
eligibility must be filed within one year from the date such claim arose. If a participant fails bring an eligibility
claim within such time period, the participant shall forfeit his/her right to bring the claim through the claims
process or otherwise (e.g., by filing a lawsuit against the Plan). A participant fully must comply with and exhaust the claims and
appeals process before commencing any legal action against the Plan, and the participant shall forfeit his/her right to
bring a legal action against the Plan if the participant fails to do so. If a participant receives an adverse decision
on appeal, the participant must commence any lawsuit against the Plan within one year from the date of the adverse
determination on appeal.

GENERAL PROVISION

This Plan shall only cover certain former executives and their eligible dependents. The Plan shall not cover any
individuals who are current employees of the Company. Consequently, the Plan shall be excepted from certain
requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”) the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) and the Public Health Service Act that apply to group health plans that cover two or
more current employees. The Plan shall be administered and operated with the intent of maintaining its status as a
plan described in Code Section 9831(a)(2) and ERISA Section 732(a), and any provision in this document or otherwise
that conflicts with that intent shall be deemed amended to comport with that intent.

This Plan will be administered and all Plan benefits will be paid by the Company or the insurance company through
which it provides coverage under this Plan. Any and all questions or interpretations concerning the Plan will be
resolved by the Company at its sole discretion. The Company reserves the right to change or terminate the Plan at any
time and for any reason.
