(1) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary:

(a) has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such Four Quarter Period that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio includes an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Consolidated EBITDA for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period and the discharge of any other Indebtedness repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period; or

(b) has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of such Four Quarter Period that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio includes a discharge of Indebtedness (in each case, other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving Debt Facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated and not replaced), Consolidated EBITDA for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period;

(2) if since the beginning of such Four Quarter Period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition or disposed of or discontinued (as defined under GAAP) any company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets ( provided that such group of related assets has a Fair Market Value in excess of $2.5 million) or line of business or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio includes such a transaction:

(a) the Consolidated EBITDA for such Four Quarter Period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets that are the subject of such disposition or discontinuation for such Four Quarter Period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such Four Quarter Period; and

(b) Consolidated Interest Expense for such Four Quarter Period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged (to the extent the related commitment is permanently reduced) with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such transaction for such Four Quarter Period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale);

(3) if since the beginning of such Four Quarter Period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all of a company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets ( provided that such group of related assets has a Fair Market Value in excess of $2.5 million) or line of business, Consolidated EBITDA for such Four Quarter Period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition occurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period; and

(4) if since the beginning of such Four Quarter Period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the

11

beginning of such period) shall have Incurred any Indebtedness or discharged any Indebtedness or made any disposition or any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, Consolidated EBITDA for such period will be calculated after giving pro   forma effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect bears an interest rate at the option of the Company, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such optional rate chosen by the Company. In making any pro forma calculation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving Debt Facility outstanding on the date of determination (other than any Indebtedness Incurred under such facility in connection with the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio) will be deemed to be:

(i) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable Four Quarter Period or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding; or

(ii) if such facility was created after the end of such Four Quarter Period, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such determination.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 3.1 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding and interest on it shall cease to accrue.

Subject to Section 2.9, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company until legal title to such Notes passes to the Company, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.12.  Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest . Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “ Defaulted Interest ”) shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following

52

manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee) of the proposed payment (the “ Special Interest Payment Date ”), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a record date (the “ Special Record Date ”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 12.1, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 2.13.  CUSIP Numbers . The Company in issuing the Notes may use “ CUSIP ” numbers (if then generally in use). The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use of CUSIP numbers, and the Trustee makes no representation as to their correctness as printed on any Note or notice to Holders. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.2 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 3.3:

(1) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 3.3(b) or could be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.3(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) on the date of Incurrence and may later reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 3.3 and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness once; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Pari Passu Credit Facility and

58

the Junior Credit Facility shall be deemed Incurred on the Issue Date under clause (2) of Section 3.3(b) and may not later be reclassified;

(2) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Debt Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (2) of Section 3.3(b) and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included;

(3) except as provided in clause (2) of this Section 3.2(c), Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included;

(4) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, shall be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof;

(5) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 3.3 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 3.3 permitting such Indebtedness;

(6) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and

(7) for purposes of any Indebtedness Incurred under clause (4) of Section 3.3(b), it is understood and agreed that payments may be made thereon unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, except as otherwise provided in any applicable intercompany subordination agreement.

Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value or the amortization of debt discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and the payment of any premiums, fees, costs, expenses or charges, in each case, will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant. Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein, for all purposes under this Indenture, the amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) in the case of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the amount determined as provided in clause (4) of the immediately preceding paragraph, (ii) in the case of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof, the amount determined in accordance with clause (6) of the immediately preceding paragraph, (iii) in the case of any other Indebtedness, the principal amount thereof (including, in the case of Indebtedness with interest payable in kind, any interest that is more than 30 days past due), (iv) in the case of the Guarantee by a specified Person of Indebtedness of another Person, the maximum liability to which the specified Person may be subject upon the occurrence of the contingency giving rise to the obligation and (v) in the case of Indebtedness of others Guaranteed solely by means of a Lien on any asset or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and not to their other assets or properties generally), the lesser of (x) the Fair Market Value of such asset or property on the date on which such Indebtedness is Incurred and (y) the amount of the Indebtedness so secured.

(d) In addition, the Company shall not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock, other than Non-Recourse Debt. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 3.3, the Company shall be in Default of this Section 3.3).

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a

59

foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced plus the amount of any reasonable premium (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and any reasonable fees and expenses Incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness and Indebtedness being Refinanced are denominated that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing.

(B) pay any Indebtedness or other obligations payable in cash that are owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Stock or any other class or series of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);

(2) make any loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 3.6(a)).

(iv) any encumbrances or restrictions (a) arising in connection with Liens permitted under the provisions of the covenant described under Section 3.5 and (b) (1) that restrict in a customary manner the subletting, sublicensing, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease, sublease, license or similar contract, or the assignment, sublicense or transfer of any such lease, sublease, license or other contract, (2) contained in mortgages, pledges or other security agreements permitted under this Indenture securing Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such encumbrance or restrictions restrict the transfer of the property subject to such mortgages, pledges or other security agreements or (3) pursuant to customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests set forth in any reciprocal easement agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(ix) any customary provisions in leases, subleases or licenses and other agreements entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

(x) encumbrances or restrictions arising or existing by reason of applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation, order, permit or grant;

SECTION 3.7.  Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock .

(i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined, at the option of the Company, as of the date a letter of intent for such Asset Disposition is entered into, as of the date of such Asset Disposition or as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the assets subject to such Asset Disposition; and

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

provided that, so long as (1) the Junior Credit Facility includes provisions requiring that proceeds of Asset Dispositions of assets of Pulitzer Subsidiaries shall be used to repay the Pulitzer Notes, invested in or used to acquire assets (including Capital Stock or other securities acquired in connection with the acquisition of Capital Stock or property of another Person that is or becomes a Pulitzer Subsidiary or that constitutes an Investment by a Pulitzer Subsidiary) used or useful in a Related Business or pay or prepay Indebtedness outstanding under the Junior Credit Facility or interest or premium thereon (it being understood that the Junior Credit Facility (or any Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance the Junior Credit Facility) will not be deemed to include provisions to the foregoing effect solely by virtue of Liens on Lee Legacy Collateral, Pulitzer Collateral or other collateral, guarantees, maturity or structural subordination) and (2) the Company elects to apply any Net Available Cash pursuant to subclause (w) or (y) above, such Net Available Cash shall be applied pursuant to subclause (w) above, to the extent of any such Net Available Cash from any Asset Disposition of assets of any Pulitzer Subsidiary, and subclause (y) above, to the extent of any such Net Available Cash from any Asset Disposition of assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Pulitzer Subsidiaries).

69

(b) All Net Available Cash that is not applied or invested (or committed pursuant to a written agreement to be applied or invested) as provided in subclause (v), (w), (x) or (y) of the third paragraph of Section 3.7(a) within 365 days after receipt of such Net Available Cash (or in the case of any amount committed to be so applied or reinvested, which are not actually so applied or reinvested within 180 days following such 365 day period) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company will be required to make an offer (“ Asset Disposition Offer ”) to all Holders in an amount equal to the Notes First Lien Percentage (determined as of a date selected by the Company that is within 10 days prior to the date on which such notice of such Asset Disposition Offer is first mailed to Holders) of such Excess Proceeds to purchase the maximum principal amount of the Notes (on a pro rata basis and subject to such adjustments as may be necessary so that the unrepurchased portion of any Note repurchased in part shall be an authorized denomination and subject to rounding) that may be purchased out of the Notes First Lien Percentage of such Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the rights of Holders of record on any record date to receive payments of interest on the related Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, in integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount (except that no note will be purchased in part if the remaining principal amount would be less than $2,000). Such Asset Disposition offer shall specify the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to tender its Notes for repurchase (including a requirement that Holders must duly tender their Notes for repurchase in accordance with such procedures at least three Business Days before the last day of the applicable Asset Disposition Offer Period) and that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, no later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the last of the applicable Asset Disposition Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder in unconditionally withdrawing its election to have such Notes repurchased. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Notes First Lien Percentage of such Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining portion of such Excess Proceeds that is not applied to purchase Notes (the “ Unutilized Excess Proceeds ”) for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of Indebtedness, or as otherwise required or permitted pursuant to its other contractual requirements, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by Holders pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer exceeds the Notes First Lien Percentage of such Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes (subject to such adjustments as may be necessary so that the unrepurchased portion of any note repurchased in part shall be an authorized denomination and subject to rounding). Upon completion of such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Company may commence or consummate an Asset Disposition Offer prior to the expiration of the 365 days after the occurrence of an Asset Disposition or the receipt of Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be permitted, subject to compliance with subclause (y) of the third paragraph of Section 3.7(a) and the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, to apply Net Available Cash from any Asset Disposition to repay, prepay, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire Priority Payment Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness at any time, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture.

(c) The Asset Disposition Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “ Asset Disposition Offer Period ”). No later than ten Business Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “ Asset Disposition Purchase Date ”), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.7 (the “ Asset Disposition Offer Amount ”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer.

(d) If the Asset Disposition Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest to the Asset Disposition Purchase Date on the Notes (or portions thereof) to be purchased by the Company on such date will be paid on the Asset Disposition Purchase Date to the Persons in whose names such Notes are registered at the close of business on such record date. Interest on Notes or portions thereof purchased by the Company pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Asset Disposition Purchase Date.

70

(e) On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis (subject to such adjustments as may be necessary so that the unrepurchased portion of any note repurchased in part shall be an authorized denomination and subject to rounding) to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, in each case in denominations of $1,000 (except that no Note will be purchased in part if the remaining principal amount would be less than $2,000). The Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than ten Business Days after termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon delivery of an Officers’ Certificate from the Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered (or similar actions will be effected in accordance with the procedures of DTC in the case of global notes); provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof.

(f) For the purposes of this Section 3.7, the following are deemed to be cash: (x) the assumption of Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) or Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor) and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness or liabilities in connection with such Asset Disposition, (y) securities, notes or similar obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash and (z) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined in Good Faith by the Company), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (z) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $20.0 million and 2.5% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being determined in Good Faith by the Company at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

(g) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.7. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 3.7, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.7.

(h) Pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash, the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries may use such Net Available Cash to reduce revolving Indebtedness under any Debt Facility (without any requirement to permanently reduce the availability or commitment thereunder) or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in Cash Equivalents or otherwise use such monies for any other purpose.

SECTION 3.8.  Limitation on Affiliate Transactions .

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or conduct any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an “ Affiliate Transaction ”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $1.0 million per transaction or series of related transactions unless:

(1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction, when viewed together with any related Affiliate Transactions, are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person that is not an Affiliate;

71

(2) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company (and such majority determines that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (i) above); and

(3) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, the Company has received a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, or not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate.

(b) The provisions of Section 3.8(a) shall not apply to:

Additionally, upon the commencement of a Suspension Period (as defined below), the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

(b) If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency, then the Suspended Covenants shall thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “ Reinstatement Date ”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies); provided, however , that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist or have occurred under this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time from, and including, the date of a suspension of the covenants as described above to, but excluding, the applicable Reinstatement Date is referred to as a “ Suspension Period. ” There may be one or more Suspension Periods and one or more Reinstatement Dates.

Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.4(a) to the extent such Restricted Payments were not Permitted Investments or were not otherwise permitted to be made pursuant to clauses (1) through (19) of Section 3.4(b); provided that the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments on the Reinstatement Date pursuant to such first paragraph shall not be reduced below zero solely as a result of such Restricted Payments.

(i) at least 65% of the original principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) remains outstanding after each such redemption; and

(ii) the redemption occurs within 90 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.

Notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) may be given prior to the completion of such Equity Offering, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering.

(c) In addition, at any time prior to March 15, 2018, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

SECTION 5.5.  Deposit of Redemption Price . Prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 5.6.  Notes Payable on Redemption Date . Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable (except as provided for in the last paragraph of Section 5.1(b)) at the redemption price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law), until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes; provided that the interest rate on any principal of a Note (or portion thereof) called for redemption but not paid on the applicable Redemption Date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise borne by the Notes.

If a Redemption Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and additional interest thereon, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders whose Notes shall be subject to redemption by the Company.

82

Such additional interest will accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which such failure first occurs to, but excluding, the date on which such failure is cured or waived, and shall be payable on each relevant Interest Payment Date to Holders of record on the regular Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. On the 181st day after such failure (if such failure is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), such failure will then constitute an Event of Default without any further notice or lapse of time and the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided below.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under clauses (4) or (10)(A) or (10)(B) of Section 6.1(a) shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified in clause (4) or (10)(A) or (10)(B) of Section 6.1(a) after receipt of such written notice.

(d) The term “ Custodian ” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 6.2.  Acceleration . If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a)(6) or Section 6.1(a)(7) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice in writing specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice” to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest shall, subject to Section 6.4, be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a)(5) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the payment default or cross-acceleration provision triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(5) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration of the Notes with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due

85

solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a)(6) or Section 6.1(a)(7) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

SECTION 6.3.  Other Remedies . If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture (including sums owed to the Trustee and Collateral Agent and their agents and counsel), the Subsidiary Guarantees, Collateral Documents, the Lee Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Lee Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the Pulitzer Junior Intercreditor Agreement or the Pulitzer Pari Intercreditor Agreement.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default, no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy, and all available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.4.  Waiver of Past Defaults . The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may waive (including, without limitation, waivers obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences (except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note held by a non-consenting Holder) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived.

SECTION 6.5.  Control by Majority . The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. However, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Collateral Documents, the Lee Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Lee Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the Pulitzer Junior Intercreditor Agreement or the Pulitzer Pari Intercreditor Agreement, or, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines would involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, respectively, in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.6.  Limitation on Suits . Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

86

(4) the Trustee has not complied with the request within 60 days after receipt of such request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event may any Holder enforce any Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent’s ability to foreclose upon and sell the Lee Legacy Collateral or the Pulitzer Collateral upon an Event of Default shall be subject to the terms of the Lee Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Lee Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the Pulitzer Junior Intercreditor Agreement and the Pulitzer Pari Intercreditor Agreement and limitations under Bankruptcy Laws and local laws.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee has no affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

SECTION 6.7.  Rights of Holders to Receive Payment . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.8.  Collection Suit by Trustee . If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.6.

SECTION 6.9.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim . The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10.  Priorities .

Subject to the terms of the Lee Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Lee Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the Pulitzer Junior Intercreditor Agreement and the Pulitzer Pari Intercreditor Agreement and Section 11.4(f) the Trustee shall pay out any money or property received by it, whether pursuant to the foreclosure or other remedial provisions contained in the Collateral Documents or otherwise, in the following order:

First: to the Trustee and Collateral Agent for amounts due to each of them under this Indenture, including without limitation Section 7.6, and under the Collateral Documents;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail or in the case of Global Notes, deliver in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 6.11.  Undertaking for Costs . In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

SECTION 6.12.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies . If the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or to such Holder(s), then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, on the other hand, shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

SECTION 2. Warrant Certificates . The certificates representing the Warrants (“ Warrant Certificates ”) will initially be issued in the form of one or more registered warrants in certificated form substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, which shall be registered in such denominations and in the names of such Persons as are directed by the Initial Holders.

SECTION 3. Execution of Warrant Certificates . Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President, Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer and by a Vice President, its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a facsimile signature of any such present or future officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent, or disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such officer.

Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by the Warrant Agent.

SECTION 4. Registration and Countersignature . The Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered on the books of the Company maintained at the principal office of the Warrant Agent at Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, 1110 Centre Point Curve, Suite 101, Mendota Heights, MN 55120 (the “ Warrant Register ”) as they are issued.

5

Warrant Certificates shall be manually countersigned or countersigned via facsimile signature by the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The Warrant Agent shall, upon written instructions of the Chairman of the Board, the President, Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President, the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, initially countersign and deliver Warrants entitling the Holders thereof to purchase not more than the number of Warrant Shares referred to above in the first recital hereof and shall thereafter countersign and deliver Warrants as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holders (the “ Holders ”) of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owners thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants . The Warrant Agent shall from time to time, subject to the limitations of Section 6, register the transfer of any outstanding Warrants upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose, upon surrender thereof duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required by it) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Holder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then entitle each Holder to purchase. Any Holder desiring to exchange a Warrant Certificate or Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Warrant Agent, and shall surrender, duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required by the Warrant Agent) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Certificate or Certificates to be so exchanged.

Upon registration of transfer, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver by certified mail a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates to the persons entitled thereto.

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that is imposed as a result of the name of the Holder of new Warrant Certificates issued upon such exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer.

SECTION 6. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges .

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Warrants . When Warrants are presented to the Warrant Agent with a request:

6

the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if (and may refuse to register any transfer or exchange unless) the requirements under this Agreement as set forth in this Section 6 for such transactions are met; provided , however , that the Warrants presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange:

(b) Private Placement Legend . Except as provided below, each Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants (and all Warrants issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall, for so long as the Warrants remain outstanding, bear a legend substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit A. Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall bear a legend substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit B. Each of such legends is referred to herein as a “ Private Placement Legend ”.

Upon any sale or transfer of a Warrant Share pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Company shall permit the holder of a Warrant Share to exchange such Warrant Share for a share of Common Stock that does not bear the Private Placement Legend. In the case of a sale or transfer of Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, an opinion of counsel (which may be in-house counsel of such holder) reasonably satisfactory to the Company shall be tendered therewith indicating that there are no impediments to the removal of such Private Placement Legend under the applicable federal securities laws of the United States.

(c) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Certificated Warrants . To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute, at the Warrant Agent’s request, and the Warrant Agent shall authenticate Certificated Warrants. All Certificated Warrants issued upon any registration, transfer or exchange of Certificated Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Certificated Warrants surrendered upon the registration of transfer or exchange. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Warrant Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Warrant

7

is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 7. Terms of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Warrants shall have the right, which may be exercised commencing on or after the Issue Date and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, to receive from the Company upon the delivery of written notice, which may be provided via e-mail or facsimile, the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price (as defined below) for such Warrant Shares. Each Warrant not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time. Except as may be set forth in Section 12, no adjustments in respect of dividends, interest or other income on or from any Warrant Share (or any other securities, property or other consideration for which a Warrant may become exercisable in accordance with this Agreement) will be made during the term of a Warrant or upon exercise of a Warrant.

The price per share at which Warrant Shares shall be purchasable upon exercise of Warrants (the “ Exercise Price ”) shall be equal to $4.19, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12. A Warrant may be exercised upon surrender at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which initially will be the principal office of the Warrant Agent at Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, 1110 Centre Point Curve, Suite 101, Mendota Heights, MN 55120 of the Warrant Certificate or Certificates evidencing the Warrants to be exercised with the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof (the “ Election to Exercise ”) properly completed and signed, which signature shall be guaranteed in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Warrant Certificate, together with payment of the Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made in cash in United States dollars, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company. Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate representing more than one Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable shall be equal to the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable in respect of those Warrants that the Holder specifies are to be exercised. All provisions of this Agreement are applicable with respect to an exercise of a Warrant Certificate for less than the full number of Warrants represented thereby. Upon exercise of one or more Warrants represented by Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall make an entry in the Warrant Register to reflect such exercise and, upon such entry, such exercised Warrants shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding or valid or obligatory for any purpose, other than with respect to the right of the Holder to receive the Warrant Shares and other amounts, if any, due upon exercise.

The “ Exercise Date ” for a Warrant shall be the date when all of the items referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph are received by the Warrant Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day and the exercise of the Warrants will be effective as of such Exercise Date. If any items referred to in such paragraph are received after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, the exercise of the Warrants to which such item relates will be effective on the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of an exercise of Warrants on the Expiration Date, if all of the items referred to in such paragraph are received by the Warrant Agent at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the exercise of the Warrants to which such items relate will be effective on the Expiration Date.

As soon as practicable after each Exercise Date for a Warrant, and in any event within three Trading Days after the Exercise Date, subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder, and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any

8

Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. At the election of the Company with the consent of the holder of record of the relevant Warrant Shares, Warrant Shares may initially be issued in global form (the “ Global Shares ”). Such Global Shares shall represent such of the outstanding Warrant Shares as shall be specified therein and each Global Share shall provide that it represents the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrant Shares from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrant Shares represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate. Any endorsement of a Global Share to reflect any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Warrant Shares represented thereby shall be made by the registrar for the Warrant Shares.

Each Warrant shall be exercisable only in whole. In the event that a certificate evidencing Warrants is exercised in respect of fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced thereby at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued, and the Warrant Agent is irrevocably authorized to countersign and to deliver the required new Warrant Certificate or Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will promptly supply the Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose. Holders of Warrants will be able to exercise their Warrants only if the exercise of such Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states in which the various Holders of Warrants or other persons to whom it is proposed that Warrant Shares be issued on exercise of the Warrants reside.

All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Such canceled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in a manner consistent with the Warrant Agent’s customary procedure for such disposal and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised.

The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices given or received hereunder available for inspection by the Holders during normal business hours at its office. The Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Agreement as the Warrant Agent may request.

SECTION 8. Payment of Taxes . The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 9. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates . In case any of the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may at its discretion issue and the Warrant Agent may countersign, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and indemnity also reasonably satisfactory to them, which indemnity shall include a corporate bond of indemnity reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and the Warrant Agent.

9

SECTION 10. Reservation of Warrant Shares . The Company will at all times authorize and reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its authorized and issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy its obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.

The Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “ Transfer Agent ”) and every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company’s Capital Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent and with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company’s Capital Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to (1) instruct such Transfer Agent to make the appropriate book entries and (2) requisition from time to time from such Transfer Agent the stock certificates, if any, required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise thereof, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for such purposes, if necessary, and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 13. The Company will furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto transmitted to each Holder pursuant to Section 14 hereof.

The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon exercise of Warrants made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will, upon issuance, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company will take no action to increase the par value of the Common Stock to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price, and the Company will not enter into any agreements inconsistent with the rights of Holders hereunder. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 11. Obtaining Stock Exchange Listings . The Company will from time to time use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Warrant Shares, immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, will be listed on the principal securities exchanges and markets within the United States of America, if any, on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed.

SECTION 12. Adjustment of Exercise Rate and Exercise Price . The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, determined as if the Exercise Price were being paid in cash (the “ Exercise Rate ”), and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 12. The Exercise Rate shall initially be 1 Warrant to 1 share of Common Stock.

(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock . If, after the Issue Date, the Company (i) issues Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides or splits any of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combines any of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

10

where

Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after (x) the date fixed for the determination of holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution or (y) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Exercise Rate shall be readjusted to the Exercise Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) Adjustment for Issuances at Less Than Exercise Price . If, after the Issue Date, the Company issues to all holders of the Common Stock any rights, warrants, options or other securities entitling them for a period of not more than 60 days after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, or if the Company issues to all holders of Common Stock securities convertible into Common Stock for a period of not more than 60 days after the date of issuance thereof, in either case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock or a conversion price per share of Common Stock less than the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, then the Exercise Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where

Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any

11

right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security described in this paragraph (b). For purposes of this paragraph (b), in determining whether any rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a conversion right for, Common Stock at less than the applicable Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. If (x) a date is fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any right, warrant, option or other security or convertible security described in this paragraph (b) but such right, warrant, option or other security or convertible security is not so issued, or (y) any right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security described in this paragraph (b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, then in either such case the new Exercise Rate shall be readjusted to the Exercise Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security had not been so issued.

(c) Adjustment for Distributions and Spin-Offs . If, after the Issue Date, the Company distributes Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all holders of Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) above, (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash referred to in paragraph (d) below, and (iii) Spin-Offs described below in this paragraph (c), then the Exercise Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where

An adjustment to the Exercise Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding provisions of this paragraph (c) shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the ex-dividend date for such distribution.

If, after the Issue Date, the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “ Spin-Off’ ), then the Exercise Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution will be adjusted based on the following formula:

12

where

An adjustment to the Exercise Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding provision of this paragraph (c) will occur on the first trading day after completion of the period of 10 Trading Days referenced in such provision; provided that for any exercise within the period of 10 Trading Days from and including the effective date of any Spin-Off, FMV ₀ and MP ₀ shall be calculated with reference to the portion of such period of 10 Trading Days that has elapsed prior to such exercise.

If any such distribution described in this paragraph (c), including any Spin-Off, is declared but not paid or made, the new Exercise Rate shall be readjusted to be the Exercise Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(d) Adjustment for Cash Dividends and Distributions . If, after the Issue Date, any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, then the Exercise Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

13

An adjustment pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Exercise Rate shall be adjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Exercise Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Whenever the Exercise Rate and Exercise Price are adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders of Warrants then outstanding at the addresses appearing on the Warrant Register a notice of the adjustments. The Company shall file with the Warrant Agent and any other registrar such notice, an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificates shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct, absent manifest error, and the Warrant Agent may rely conclusively on anything contained in such certificates. Neither the Warrant Agent nor any such registrar shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same during normal business hours to any Holder desiring inspection thereof.

16

(g) Other Events . If any event occurs as to which the provisions of this Section 12 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, the provision of this Section 12 would not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, equitably adjust the rights of the Warrantholders in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, to equitably adjust such rights, but in no event shall any such adjustment have the effect of decreasing the Exercise Rate or decreasing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

In addition, if during a period applicable for calculating the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices or Volume Weighed Average Prices over a span of multiple days, an issuance, distribution, subdivision, combination or other transaction or event occurs that requires an adjustment pursuant to Section 12(f) hereof, such Last Reported Sale Prices or Volume Weighed Average Prices, as the case may be, shall be calculated for such period in a manner determined by the Board of Directors, based upon the advice of an independent investment bank of national standing selected by the Board of Directors and accepted by the Warrant Agent, to appropriately reflect the impact of such issuance, distribution, subdivision or combination on the price of the Common Stock during such period (including, without limitation, the historical realized volatility of the Common Stock).

(h) Adjustment of Exercise Price . In connection with any adjustment to the Exercise Rate required pursuant to the provisions above, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

where

(i) Company Determination Final . Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors may make pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(j) Warrant Agent’s Adjustment Disclaimer . The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Section 12 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be, or for the calculation of any adjustment, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 17(l). The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to determine whether a supplemental warrant agreement under paragraph (f) need be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental warrant agreement are correct. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Section 12.

(k) Specificity of Adjustment . Regardless of any adjustment in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrant Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued may

17

continue to express the same number and kind of Warrant Shares per Warrant as are stated on the Warrant Certificates initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

(l) Voluntary Adjustment . The Company from time to time may increase the Exercise Rate by any amount and for any period of time; provided , however , that such period is not less than 20 Business Days. Whenever the Exercise Rate is so increased, the Company shall mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Warrant Register and file with the Warrant Agent a notice of the increase. The Company shall give the notice at least 15 days before the date the increased Exercise Rate takes effect. The notice shall state the increased Exercise Rate and the period it will be in effect.

(m) Multiple Adjustments . After an adjustment to the Exercise Rate for outstanding Warrants under this Section 12, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 12 shall cause an adjustment to the Exercise Rate for outstanding Warrants as so adjusted.

(n) When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred . No adjustment in the Exercise Rate or Exercise Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Exercise Rate or Exercise Price. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Exercise Rate or Exercise Price by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment or in connection with any future exercise of any Warrant. All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments not previously made shall have effect with respect to any exercise of a Warrant.

(o) Amendments of the Certificate of Incorporation . The Company shall not amend its Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that adversely affects the Holders of Warrants, without the prior consent of the Holders of a majority of the Warrants outstanding (excluding Warrants held by the Company or any of its Affiliates), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(p) Exclusion of Rights Plan . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 12 shall be required in connection with the issuance, distribution, delivery or exercise of Share Purchase Rights except, if any Warrants remain outstanding and the Share Purchase Rights have become exercisable in accordance with the provisions of the applicable rights plan, the Exercise Rate will be adjusted as though the event of such Share Purchase Rights becoming exercisable constituted a non-Spin-Off distribution subject to paragraph (c) above having an ex-dividend date of the date on which such rights first became exercisable. If any such right is not exercised prior to the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the Share Purchase Rights, the new Exercise Rate shall be readjusted to the Exercise Rate that would have been in effect if such Share Purchase Rights had not become so exercisable.

(q) Tax Adjustments . In addition to the adjustments described in this Section 12, the Company may increase the Exercise Rate or decrease the Exercise Price in order to avoid or diminish any U.S. federal income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of Capital Stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company may also, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the Exercise Rate or decrease the Exercise Price by any amount for any period if the Company has determined that such increase would be in the Company’s best interests. If the Company makes such a determination, it will be conclusive absent manifest error and the Company will mail to Holders of the Warrants a notice of the increased Exercise Rate and/or decreased Exercise Price and the period during which it will be in effect at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Exercise Rate and/or decreased Exercise Price takes effect in accordance with applicable law.

18

(r) No Adjustment for Certain Events . The Company will not be required to make any adjustment to the Exercise Rate or Exercise Price in connection with the following events:

(s) Assumption of Obligations . Notwithstanding anything contained in the Warrants or in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company will not effect any of the transactions described in Section 12(f) unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any stock, securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the holder of this Warrant, (a) the obligations of the Company under this Warrant (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Warrant), (b) the obligations of the Company under the Warrant Registration Rights Agreement and (c) the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, such holder may be entitled to receive.

SECTION 13. Fractional Interests . The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same Holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented.
