The Assignors and the Assignees hereto agree as follows:

Each Assignee shall only be responsible for purchasing the assigned amount set forth next to its name set forth on Schedule 1 and no Assignee shall be liable in any way for the failure of any other Assignee to purchase any amounts to be purchased by such other Assignee.

2. No Assignor (a) makes any representation or warranty or assumes any responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreements or with respect to the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Existing Credit Agreements, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto, other than that such Assignor is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned by it hereunder, has not created any adverse claim upon the interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any such adverse claim or (b) makes any representation or warranty or assumes any responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Gannett, any of its Affiliates or any other obligor or the performance or observance by Gannett, any of its Affiliates or any other obligor of any of their respective obligations under the Existing Credit Agreements or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto

4. The effective date of this Master Assignment and Assumption shall be the Extension Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, each Assignee shall have consented to the Credit Agreements (and the amendments to the Existing Credit Agreements set forth therein) once all conditions to effectiveness under the Credit Agreements (other than receipt by the Administrative Agent of the signatures of the Assignees) have been satisfied.

5. Following the execution of this Master Assignment and Assumption, it will be delivered to the Administrative Agent for acceptance by it and recording by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreements, effective as of the Extension Effective Date.
