SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendment; Joinder Agreements.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or otherwise modified except as contemplated by the Secured Credit Documents and then pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Collateral Agent then party hereto; provided that no such agreement shall by its terms amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Pulitzer Entity without such Pulitzer Entitys prior written consent; provided further that (i) without the consent of any party hereto, (A) this Agreement may be supplemented by a Joinder Agreement, and an Additional Agent may become a party hereto, in accordance with Article VIII and (B) this Agreement may be supplemented by a Pulitzer Entity Joinder Agreement, and a Subsidiary may become a party hereto, in accordance with Section 9.12, and (ii) in connection with any Refinancing of First Lien Obligations of any Class, the Collateral Agents then party hereto shall enter (and are hereby authorized to enter without the consent of any other Secured Party), at the request of any Collateral Agent or the Borrower, into such amendments or modifications of this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to reflect such Refinancing and are reasonably satisfactory to each such Collateral Agent.
SECTION 9.03. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, as well as the other Secured Parties, all of whom are intended to be bound by, and to be third party beneficiaries of, this Agreement. No other Person shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder.
SECTION 9.04. Effectiveness; Survival. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding against the Borrower or any of the Pulitzer Entities.
SECTION 9.05. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
Page 23
SECTION 9.06. 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. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 9.07. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.
(b) Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto 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 party hereto 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 party hereto or any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any party hereto or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which 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 (b) of this Section. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01, such service to be effective upon receipt. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto or any Secured Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR
Page 24
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 9.09. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.10. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any other Secured Credit Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
SECTION 9.11. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Secured Parties in relation to one another. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Borrower, any of the Pulitzer Entities or any other creditor of any of the foregoing, shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, and none of the Pulitzer Entities or the Borrower may rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Borrower or any Pulitzer Entity, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the First Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute a waiver or an amendment of any covenant of any Pulitzer Entity contained in any Secured Credit Document, which restricts the incurrence of any indebtedness or the grant of any Lien.
SECTION 9.12. Additional Pulitzer Entities. In the event any Pulitzer Entity shall have granted a Lien on any of its assets to secure any First Lien Obligations, the Borrower shall cause such Pulitzer Entity, if not already a party hereto, to become a party hereto as a Pulitzer Entity. Upon the execution and delivery by any Pulitzer Entity of a Pulitzer Joinder Agreement, any such Pulitzer Entity shall become a party hereto and a Pulitzer Entity hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as such herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereto shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Pulitzer Entity as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 9.13. Specific Performance. Each Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties, may demand specific performance of this Agreement. Each Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the Secured Parties.
Page 25
SECTION 9.14. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Secured Credit Documents, represents the agreement of each of the Pulitzer Entities, the Borrower and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Pulitzer Entity, any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Credit Documents.
SECTION 9.15. Trustee Capacity. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by U.S. Bank National Association, not individually or personally or in its corporate capacity, but solely in its capacity as Notes Trustee under the Notes Indenture, and (b) under no circumstances shall U.S. Bank National Association be individually or personally or in its corporate capacity, liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses owed to any party under this Agreement, the Notes Documents, the Secured Credit Documents or the Security Documents.

5.5 Avoidance Issues . If any Pulitzer First Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the bankruptcy trustee or the estate of any Borrower or Grantor, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including because it was found to be a 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 Pulitzer First Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Discharge of Pulitzer First Priority Obligations, if it shall otherwise have occurred, 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 Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any
Page 20

5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification . Each Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Pulitzer First Priority Security Documents and the Pulitzer 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 Pulitzer Second Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from the Pulitzer First Priority Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed 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 Pulitzer First Priority Secured Parties and Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one class of secured claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Pulitzer 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 Grantors 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 Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Parties), the Pulitzer First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees and expenses and any other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest before any distribution is made in respect of the Pulitzer Second Priority Obligations held by the Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Parties, with the Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Pulitzer First Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Parties), and that, until turned over to the Pulitzer First Priority Secured Parties, such amounts will be held in trust for the Pulitzer First Priority Secured Parties.

Page 21
5.9 Plans of Reorganization .

5.10 Post-Petition Claims . None of the Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Parties shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Pulitzer First Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Pulitzer First Priority Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest or indemnities, without regard to the existence of the Liens of the Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Parties on the Common Collateral.

Until the Discharge of the Pulitzer First Priority Obligations, each Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that (a) it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Pulitzer First Priority Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Common Collateral and (b) waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any Pulitzer First Priority Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Page 22
add additional secured creditors in violation of the express provisions of the Pulitzer Second Priority Agreements, (ii) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of any Pulitzer Second Priority Security Document, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 4.2, (iii) any such amendment, waiver or consent that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Pulitzer Second Priority Secured Parties and does not affect the Pulitzer First Priority Secured Parties in a like or similar manner shall not apply to the Pulitzer Second Priority Security Documents without the written consent of the Pulitzer Second Priority Collateral Agent and (iv) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the Pulitzer 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.
