This Amended and Restated Scripps Family Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into this 19th day of May, 2015 by the undersigned individuals (the “Family Shareholders”), The X.X. Xxxxxxx Company, an Ohio corporation (“X.X. Xxxxxxx”), and Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Scripps Networks Interactive”). The term “Company” shall mean X.X. Xxxxxxx and Scripps Networks Interactive, severally.
WHEREAS, the undersigned individuals, X.X. Xxxxxxx and Scripps Networks Interactive are parties to the Scripps Family Agreement, dated October 15, 1992 (the “Original Family Agreement”), as modified and amended by (a) the Acknowledgement dated October 15, 1992 (the “1992 Comcast Acknowledgement”), (b) the 2008 Amendments to Scripps Family Agreement, which became effective May 8, 2008 (the “2008 SNI Amendment”), (c) the June 2014 Amendments, which became effective June 21, 2014, and (d) the Amendment to Scripps Family Agreement dated July 31, 2014 (the “2014 Journal Amendment”) (as so amended, the “Amended Family Agreement”) and desire to amend and restate the Amended Family Agreement to consolidate its provisions and make further amendments thereto;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Family Shareholders and the Company each hereby irrevocably agree to amend, restate and supersede in its entirety the Amended Family Agreement as follows.
Section 1. Background and Effectiveness.
(a) Scripps Trust.
(i) The undersigned individuals are descendants of Xxxxxx X. Scripps, founder of the predecessor company to X.X. Xxxxxxx, also named The X.X. Xxxxxxx Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Original Company”), and controlling person thereof from 1878 to 1922.
(ii) Xxxxxx X. Scripps believed that the Original Company was an institution impressed with a public interest because of its engagement in the publishing of daily newspapers and that the exercise of control over the Original Company carried a responsibility to maintain the independence and integrity of its newspapers, and to this end he established a trust in 1922, with Xxxxxx X. Scripps, one of his sons, as initial trustee, to hold the controlling interest in the capital stock of the Original Company (the “Scripps Trust”).
(iii) Family Shareholders are convinced of the wisdom and farsightedness of Xxxxxx X. Scripps’ views and believe that because of the important position occupied by the Company in the communications industry in the United States it would be in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders, its employees and the public for the Family Shareholders to take steps to preserve the independence and integrity of the Company by restricting transfer and governing voting of Common Voting Stock (as defined below, but not Class A Stock (as defined below)) to be owned by them.
(iv) In light of the objectives set forth above, the Family Shareholders entered into this Agreement for the purpose of restricting the transfer and governing the voting of the Common Voting Stock to be received on termination of the Scripps Trust
2
and all other shares of Common Voting Stock (or shares of stock of the Company with comparable or unlimited voting rights) that they may own of record or beneficially at, or acquire after, such termination (such Shares and such other shares being herein referred to collectively as the “Shares”).
(v) Upon the death of Xxxxxx X. Scripps, Jr. on October 18, 2012 (the “Trust Termination Date”), the last to survive of the four children of Xxxxxx X. Scripps who were living at the death of Xxxxxx X. Scripps in 1926 (such children being Xxxxxxx X. Scripps, Xxxxxx X. Scripps, Jr., Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxx), the Scripps Trust terminated and all shares of Class A Stock and Common Voting Stock held by the Scripps Trust were distributed to the beneficiaries thereof, including certain of the Family Shareholders, on March 14, 2013.
(b) Comcast Merger and X.X. Xxxxxxx Spin-off.
(i) The Original Company, Scripps Xxxxxx, Inc., an Ohio corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Original Company and successor to the Original Company (“New Scripps”) and Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“Comcast”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 28, 1995 (the “Comcast Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Comcast acquired the cable television business of the Original Company by the merger of the Original Company into Comcast (the “Comcast Merger”) immediately following the distribution by the Original Company to its stockholders of shares of the capital stock of New Scripps (the “X.X. Xxxxxxx Spin-off”).
(ii) On May 31, 1996 following the X.X. Xxxxxxx Spin-off and the Merger, New Scripps succeeded to and continued to conduct the newspaper, television broadcasting, and entertainment businesses that had been conducted by the Original Company and changed its name to The X.X. Xxxxxxx Company (the entity previously defined above as “X.X. Xxxxxxx”).
3
(iii) Pursuant to the X.X. Xxxxxxx Spin-off, the holders of common voting stock, $.01 par value, of the Original Company, which was the class of stock that was originally subject to the Original Family Agreement, became the holders of common voting shares, $.01 par value, of X.X. Xxxxxxx (the “EWS Common Voting Shares”), and the holders of Class A common stock, $.01 par value, of the Original Company became the holders of Class A common shares, $.01 par value, of X.X. Xxxxxxx (the “EWS Class A Common Shares”). The EWS Common Voting Shares are equivalent in all material respects to the common voting stock of the Original Company, and the EWS Class A Common Shares of X.X. Xxxxxxx are equivalent in all material respects to the class A common stock of the Original Company and, pursuant to the 1992 Comcast Acknowledgement, X.X. Xxxxxxx was confirmed by the then requisite parties to this Agreement as the successor to the Original Company and the EWS Common Voting Shares became subject to the terms hereof.
(c) Spin-off of Scripps Networks Interactive.
(i) On July 1, 2008, X.X. Xxxxxxx effected a spin-off of Scripps Networks Interactive, which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of X.X. Xxxxxxx, by way of a pro rata distribution of 100% of the shares of Scripps Networks Interactive (the “SNI Spin-off”), such that each of the shareholders of X.X. Xxxxxxx received one Class A common share, $.01 par value, of Scripps Networks Interactive (the “SNI Class A Common Shares”) for each EWS Class A Common Share held of record on the record date for the SNI Spin-off and one common voting share, $.01 par value, of Scripps Networks Interactive (the “SNI Common Voting Shares”) for each EWS Common Voting Share held of record on the record date for the SNI Spin-off.
4
(ii) Following the SNI Spin-off, X.X. Xxxxxxx continued to conduct the newspaper, television broadcasting and licensing businesses conducted by it prior to the SNI Spin-off through various subsidiaries, and Scripps Networks Interactive continued to conduct the networks and interactive media businesses that were conducted by X.X. Xxxxxxx through various subsidiaries.
(iii) As set forth in the 2008 SNI Amendment, signed by the then requisite parties to this Agreement, X.X. Xxxxxxx and Scripps Networks Interactive, all of the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions restricting transfer and governing voting, apply to the SNI Common Voting Shares that the Family Shareholders received upon termination of the Scripps Trust and any other SNI Common Voting Shares (or shares of Scripps Networks Interactive of comparable or unlimited voting rights) that they owned of record or beneficially at, or acquire after, such termination as if such parties and Scripps Networks Interactive had executed a separate family agreement relating to SNI Common Voting Shares and containing the same provisions as this Agreement.
(iv) Following the SNI Spin-off, the “Family Shareholders” include Family Shareholders of X. X. Xxxxxxx and Scripps Networks Interactive, severally; the terms “Common Voting Stock” and “Shares” mean the EWS Common Voting Shares and SNI Common Voting Shares, severally; the term “Class A Stock” means EWS Class A Common Shares and SNI Class A Common Shares, severally.
5
(d) X.X. Xxxxxxx and Journal Communications Merger and Spin-off.
(i) On July 31, 2014, X.X. Xxxxxxx and Journal Communications, Inc. (“Journal Communications”) entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which X.X Xxxxxxx and Journal Communications agreed to combine their broadcast operations and spin off and then merge their newspapers, resulting in two separately traded public companies (the “EWS-Journal Transactions”). X.X. Xxxxxxx will continue as the broadcast and digital media company and retain The X.X. Xxxxxxx Company name, with its subsidiary owning the broadcast and digital media business formerly owned by Journal Communications. The newspaper company will be called Journal Media Group, Inc. (“Journal Media Group”), and will own the newspaper businesses formerly owned by Journal Communications and X.X. Xxxxxxx.
(ii) Upon closing of the EWS-Journal Transactions, (A) Journal Communications’ Class A and Class B shareholders will receive 0.5176 EWS Class A Common Shares and 0.1950 shares in Journal Media Group for each Journal Communications share and (B) X.X. Xxxxxxx shareholders will receive 0.2500 shares in Journal Media Group for each EWS Class A Common Share and each EWS Common Voting Share. Journal Media Group will have one class of stock.
(iii) Section 17(a) of this Agreement provides that its terms will apply to a successor entity of the Company (including as a result of a spin-off) and the shares of such successor entity that has a similar capital structure to the Company. As set forth in the 2014 Journal Amendment signed by the then requisite parties to this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not apply to any shares of capital stock of any entity (or successor entity) owning the newspapers published by the X.X. Xxxxxxx or its subsidiaries and the newspapers
6
published by Journal Communications, Inc. or its subsidiaries, including the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, that become owned by any Family Shareholder at any time after July 31, 2014, and such entity (or successor entity) shall not be considered a successor or spun-off subsidiary as such terms are used in Section 17(a)(ii) hereof. If the EWS-Journal Transactions do not close by December 31, 2015, this Section 1(d)(iii) will no longer be effective.
(e) Effectiveness. The provisions of this Agreement that restrict transfer and govern voting of the Shares became effective on the Trust Termination Date because at the time of such termination, and after giving effect to the distribution of the Shares held by the Scripps Trust, the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding shares of Common Voting Stock were parties to this Agreement.
Section 2. Transfer; Conversion; Insolvency.
(a) Restrictions on Transfer. Each Family Shareholder covenants and agrees that such Family Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, distribute, pledge, hypothecate, donate, assign, appoint or otherwise dispose of or encumber any Shares owned by such Family Shareholder, of record or beneficially, except in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Restriction on Conversion. Each Family Shareholder covenants and agrees that such Family Shareholder will not convert any Shares into Class A Stock except as provided in Section 2(c) or Section 6 hereof.

In the event, and to the extent, any of such Family Shareholder’s Shares are not purchased pursuant to such Section 3, such Shares shall remain the property of such Family Shareholder and shall remain subject to this Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction orders otherwise, in which case such Shares shall be converted into Class A Stock on a share-for-share basis and disposed of pursuant to the order of such court.

15
STOCK. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Offeror fails to complete such sale, transfer, distribution, assignment, donation, appointment or other disposition within ninety days after the date of mailing of the last of the First, Second or Third Notices, as the case may be, such Offeror may not thereafter sell, transfer, distribute, assign, donate, appoint or otherwise dispose of such Offered Shares without again complying with the provisions of this Agreement.

A Family Shareholder may waive any notice of meeting required under this Section 9 by providing the chairperson of the meeting in question with a written waiver of notice prior to, at or after such meeting. Meetings of the Family Shareholders may be held by means of any communications equipment (e.g., telephone, video or web conferencing equipment) that enables each Family Shareholder an opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to Family Shareholders at the meeting, including an opportunity to read or hear proceedings of the meeting and to speak or
21
otherwise participate in the proceedings contemporaneously with those who will be present physically or present by the use of any such communications equipment. Any action that may be authorized or taken at a meeting of the Family Shareholders may be authorized or taken without a meeting with the affirmative vote or approval of, and in a writing or writings signed by, all of the Family Shareholders. A telegram, cablegram, electronic mail or electronic or other transmission capable of authentication that has been sent by a Family Shareholder and that contains an affirmative vote or approval of that person is a signed writing for purposes of the foregoing sentence. The date on which that telegram, cablegram, electronic mail, or electronic or other transmission is sent is the date on which the writing is signed.
(d) Proxies. Each Family Shareholder may be represented at any meeting of the Family Shareholders and may vote thereat, and execute consents, waivers and releases, and exercise any of his or her other rights, by one or more proxies appointed by a writing signed by such Family Shareholder. Any proxy so appointed must be a Family Shareholder. The writing appointing such proxy may contain instructions to such proxy on how to vote such Family Shareholder’s Shares or may provide such proxy with the power to vote such Family Shareholder’s Shares in such proxy’s discretion.
(e) Chairperson and Secretary of Meetings. The Family Shareholders shall elect a chairperson and secretary at the Family Shareholders meeting called prior to the 2015 annual meeting of the Company. The chairperson shall serve a term of three (3) years. The secretary elected at the 2015 annual meeting shall serve a term of one year. Starting with the term beginning with the 2016 annual meeting, the secretary shall serve a term of three (3) years. Thereafter, election of a chairperson and secretary shall be conducted at each Family Shareholders meeting called prior to the annual meeting of
22
the company in which the term of the currently serving chairperson and secretary ends. Election shall be by the vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares present at such meeting or represented thereat by proxy. The Family Council may fill any vacancy that may occur in the office of chairperson or secretary by electing a successor to hold office until the next succeeding meeting of the Family Shareholders. The chairperson and secretary shall have such duties as prescribed in the Bylaws.
(f) Quorum; Vote Required for Decision. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the Shares at a meeting of the Family Shareholders shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum for reaching decisions as provided herein on matters brought before such meeting. If a quorum is not present at a meeting of the Family Shareholders, the Family Shareholders present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. When a quorum is present at a meeting of the Family Shareholders, the vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares voting in person or by proxy shall be sufficient to reach a decision on each matter brought before such meeting, except as otherwise provided in Section 9(i) hereof and except that the vote of the holders of a plurality of the Shares voting in person or by proxy shall be sufficient to reach a decision with respect to the selection of nominees for the Company’s Board of Directors brought before such meeting. Each Family Shareholder shall be entitled, either in person or by proxy, to cast one vote for each Share owned of record or beneficially by him or her on each matter brought before any meeting of the Family Shareholders.
(g) Voting at Meetings of Family Shareholders. Voting at all meetings of the Family Shareholders may be by voice or show of hand unless any Family Shareholder requests a written ballot. The validity of proxies and ballots at each meeting shall be determined in conformity with the corporation laws of the State of Ohio.
23
(h) Voting at Meetings of Company Stockholders. Each Family Shareholder agrees, for himself or herself and his or her successors and assigns, to accept and be bound by each decision reached as provided herein with respect to each matter brought before any meeting of the Family Shareholders at which a quorum is present. Accordingly, the Family Shareholders hereby irrevocably appoint each other as their attorneys and proxies to vote their Shares on each such matter at each annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, or to execute proxies, consents or authorizations to vote their Shares on each such matter at each annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, in accordance with the decision reached as aforesaid on each such matter at the meeting of the Family Shareholders held immediately prior to such annual or special meeting.
(i) Bylaws. By the vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares, the Family Shareholders may adopt, and thereafter amend from time to time, bylaws with respect to such matters relating to the conduct of meetings of the Family Shareholders that are not otherwise addressed in this Section 9 (“Bylaws”).
(j) No Amendment of This Agreement. No action at any meeting of the Family Shareholders shall operate to amend any provision of this Agreement, which may be amended only as set forth in Section 16 hereof.
(k) Extension of Section 9. This Section 9 shall be effective for a period of ten years commencing on the Trust Termination Date and at any time within two years prior to the end of such ten-year period, any or all of the Family Shareholders may extend the duration of this Section 9 for an additional ten-year period, and thereafter for
24
as many additional periods, each not to exceed ten years, as they may desire, so long as each such additional extension is effected within the two years prior to the end of the most recent ten-year period. Each such extension must be effected in writing. No Family Shareholder will be bound by any such extension if he or she has not executed the writing effecting such extension.
Section 10. Disclosure Waiver. The Company and each Family Shareholder acknowledge and agree that no party hereto shall have any duty or obligation to disclose affirmatively to any other party hereto, and no party hereto shall have any right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company at any time prior to, upon or in connection with any purchase, sale or conversion of Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 11. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irrevocable damage will result to each of them in the event that this Agreement is not specifically enforced. Therefore it is agreed that the rights to, or obligations of, purchase and sale of Shares hereunder may be enforced in a court of equity or other tribunal with jurisdiction by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies and all other remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies that any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
25
Section 12. Legend; Transfer; Form of Ownership.
(a) Legend. Each Family Shareholder agrees to submit to the Company, upon termination of the Scripps Trust or (if later) upon becoming a party to this Agreement, and in each case from time to time thereafter as and when additional Shares are acquired by such Family Shareholder, the certificates for all Shares owned of record or beneficially by such Family Shareholder so that the Company may endorse thereon a legend reading substantially as follows:
“The Common Voting Shares represented hereby may not be sold, transferred, distributed, pledged, mortgaged, donated, assigned, appointed or otherwise disposed of or encumbered or converted into Class A Common Shares, nor may such shares be voted, nor consents or waivers given with respect thereto, except in accordance with, and such shares and the voting thereof are subject to, the provisions of the Scripps Family Agreement, as amended, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of the Company.”
(b) Transfer or Conversion Must Comply with Agreement. The parties agree that no purported transfer or conversion of Shares shall be valid, nor shall any such transfer or conversion be recorded on the stock books of the Company or be recognized by the Company, unless all the terms and conditions of this Agreement have been complied with first and the Company has or is furnished with proper evidence of such compliance.
(c) Form of Ownership. Each Family Shareholder shall hold his, her or its Shares of record in his, her or its name and not in the name of a broker or other nominee. Notwithstanding the preceding, Shares may be held in the name of Miramar Fiduciary Corporation, as nominee for the Family Shareholder. Miramar Fiduciary Corporation will keep accurate records recording the beneficial owner of any such Shares held in its name as nominee and shall provide such information to the Company upon the Company’s request.
26
Section 13. Execution.
(i) This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(ii) Commencing on July 1, 1992, this Agreement was circulated among the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Scripps and Xxxx X. Scripps for execution by them and was so executed on or before December 31, 1992 by Family Shareholders that included descendants of Xxxxxx X. Scripps to whom in the aggregate there would have been distributed (assuming for purposes of this paragraph that the Scripps Trust were to terminate on such date) such number of shares of Common Voting Stock of the Original Company as would constitute 50% or more of the shares of such stock outstanding on such date and, as a result, this Agreement became irrevocable as provided in Section 14 hereof.
Section 14. Irrevocability. Each party hereto agrees that his, her or its execution and delivery of this Agreement may not be withdrawn and that this Agreement shall be irrevocable, shall not be amended except pursuant to Section 16 hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to Section 15 hereof.
Section 15. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of twenty-one years after the death of the last survivor of all of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Scripps and Xxxx X. Scripps alive on the Trust Termination Date. Upon termination of this Agreement, each holder of record of Shares who is a party to this Agreement (or such holder’s permitted successors and assigns) shall be entitled to submit such holder’s certificate or certificates for Shares to the Company in exchange for a new certificate or certificates that shall not bear the legend set forth in Section 12.
27
Section 16. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by the Company and by parties to this Agreement who are the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of Common Voting Stock owned by all parties to this Agreement at the time it is to be amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 9 of this Agreement may be amended as aforesaid by such holders without the concurrence of the Company.
Section 17. Miscellaneous.
(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executives, legal representatives, permitted assigns, and successors. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1(d) hereof, successors shall include, without limitation, any successor to X. X. Xxxxxxx or Scripps Networks Interactive, by merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets, or any subsidiary of X.X. Xxxxxxx or Scripps Networks Interactive that owns or operates any business thereof and is spun-off by way of a pro rata distribution of its shares to shareholders of X. X. Xxxxxxx or Scripps Networks Interactive, as the case may be, whether such subsidiary is directly or indirectly, or wholly or partly, owned by X. X. Xxxxxxx or Scripps Networks Interactive, as the case may be, and the defined terms referred to in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to and mean such successor or spun-off subsidiary and the shares of such successor or spun-off subsidiary having voting rights comparable to Common Voting Stock of X. X. Xxxxxxx or Scripps Networks Interactive, as the case may be.
(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
28
Section 18. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted.
Section 19. Notices. All notices required to be given under the terms of this Agreement or that any of the parties desires to give hereunder shall be in writing and sent by guaranteed overnight delivery via Federal Express or similar service or by email, addressed as follows:
