SECTION 1.03.
    Consents to Certain Assignments. (%3) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign, directly or indirectly, any asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising under or resulting from such asset if an attempted direct or indirect assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party or Governmental Approval, would constitute a breach, default, violation or other contravention of the rights of such third party or Governmental Entity or applicable Law, would be ineffective with respect to any party to an agreement concerning such asset, claim or right, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or any other member of the Seller Group or, upon transfer, Purchaser or the Transferred Entity under such asset, claim or right. If any direct or indirect transfer or assignment by Seller to Purchaser or any Purchaser Sub, or any direct or indirect acquisition or assumption by Purchaser or any Purchaser Sub, of any interest in, or liability, obligation or commitment under, any asset, claim or right requires the consent of a third party or Governmental Approval, then such transfer or assignment or assumption shall be made subject to such consent or Governmental Approval being obtained.

Purchaser shall, or shall cause one or more Purchaser Subs to, assume any related

economic burden with respect to the asset, claim or right with respect to which such consent or Governmental Approval has not been obtained in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)
    If and when any such consent or Governmental Approval referred to in Section 1.03(a) is obtained after the Closing, the assignment of the asset, claim or right to which such consent or Governmental Approval relates shall be promptly effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without the payment of additional consideration. Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such third party consents and/or Governmental Approvals as promptly as practicable. The parties shall cooperate in minimizing all fees and expenses incidental to the performance of this Section 1.03 and such fees and expenses shall be borne by the parties pursuant to Section 6.08.

(c)
    Objections; Resolution of Disputes. The Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless Seller gives written notice of its disagreement with the Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital, the Closing Eligible Capital Expenditures, the Debt Amount and the Annualized Business Three Month Net Sales Amount, (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Eligible Capital Expenditures, the Debt Amount or the Annualized Business Three Month Net Sales Amount not being calculated in accordance with this Section 2.03 and (iii) be accompanied by a certificate of an executive officer of Seller certifying that the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement are consistent with the requirements of Section 2.03(d). If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser in a timely manner, then the Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of (A) the date Seller and Purchaser resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm. During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such 30-day period, Seller and Purchaser shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) for determination of any and all matters that remain in dispute and were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement. The dispute resolution by the Accounting Firm shall be an expert determination under the relevant Laws of the State of New York. The Accounting Firm shall be PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by the parties hereto in writing. Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a decision in writing resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm within 30 days of receipt of the submission. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any ex parte communications with the Accounting Firm without the prior written consent of the other party. Absent fraud, bad faith or manifest error, the determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties and judgment may be entered upon such determination in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The cost of any determination (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the parties) pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in

inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. Other than the fees and expenses referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the fees and disbursements of Seller’s independent auditors shall be borne by Seller and the fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s independent auditors shall be borne by Purchaser.

(d)
    Adjustment Payment. If the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount by which Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, and if the Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount by which Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital. In addition to the foregoing adjustment, (i) the Purchase Price shall be decreased by an amount equal to the Debt Amount and (ii) the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the Closing Eligible Capital Expenditures. The Purchase Price as so increased or decreased under this Section 2.03(c) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Adjusted Purchase Price”. If the Closing Date Payment is less than the Adjusted Purchase Price, Purchaser shall, and if the Closing Date Payment is more than the Adjusted Purchase Price, Seller shall, within 10 Business Days after the Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, make payment by wire transfer in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the absolute value of the difference between the Adjusted Purchase Price and the Closing Date Payment to one or more accounts designated in writing at least two Business Days prior to such payment by the party entitled to receive such payment, plus interest thereon at a rate of 5% per annum, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365, from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment.

(e)
    Certain Definitions and Calculations. The term “Working Capital” means Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. The terms “Current Assets” and “Current Liabilities” mean the current assets and current liabilities, respectively, of the Business, excluding all items with respect to Taxes, all amounts included in the Debt Amount, all Excluded Assets and all Retained Liabilities. Current Assets and Current Liabilities shall be determined as follows: (i) first, the methods, policies, principles, methodologies and rules set forth in Section 2.03(d) of the Seller Disclosure Letter shall be applicable, without regard to whether such methods, policies, principles, methodologies and rules are consistent with GAAP, (ii) second, to the extent not covered by Section 2.03(d) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, the methods, policies, principles, methodologies and rules as were used by Seller in the preparation of the Balance Sheet shall be applicable, without regard to whether such methods, policies, principles, methodologies and rules are consistent with GAAP, and (iii) third, to the extent no relevant method, policy, principle, methodology or rule is applicable pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with Seller’s historical methods, policies, principles, methodologies and rules, excluding any effects of the Transactions, shall be applicable. The foregoing principles are referred to in this Agreement as the “Accounting Principles”.

The Closing Working Capital, the Closing Eligible Capital Expenditures, the Debt Amount and the Annualized Business Three Month Net Sales Amount are to be calculated as of close of business on the Closing Date in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm as provided in Section 2.03(b) shall be solely limited to whether such calculation was done in accordance with this Section 2.03 (including the Accounting Principles), and whether there were mathematical errors in the Statement. The Accounting Firm’s determination of any amount in dispute must be within the range of values assigned to such amount by the parties hereto. The Accounting Firm is not authorized or permitted to make any other determination or adjustment based on GAAP if the Accounting Principles can be determined pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no determination of the Accounting Firm shall be applicable as to the determination of the accuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or as to compliance by the parties with any of their covenants in this Agreement (other than (A) whether the Statement calculation was done in accordance with this Section 2.03 (including the Accounting Principles) and (B) whether there were any mathematical errors in the Statement).

(f)
    Post-Closing Books and Records. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall not take any actions with respect to the accounting books and records of the Business on which the Statement is to be based that would affect the Statement. During the period of time from and after the Closing Date through the resolution of any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.03, Purchaser shall afford to Seller and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to all the properties, systems, books, Contracts, personnel and Records of the Business relevant to the adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.03.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser and its affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax law (collectively, the “Withholding Taxes”). To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller or any other member of the Seller Group in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made, and Purchaser shall provide to the respective member of the Seller Group written notice of the amounts so deducted or withheld. Any amounts so withheld shall be applied by Purchaser and its affiliates to satisfy Withholding Taxes. Purchaser and its affiliates shall remit any such amounts deducted or withheld from any such payment to the applicable Taxing Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, Withholding Taxes do not include Transfer Taxes with respect to the Transferred Entity.

SECTION 5.03.
    No Control of Seller’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Seller Business or, prior to the Closing, the Business.

SECTION 6.01.
    No Use of Certain Retained Names. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Entity) to, promptly, and in any event within 60 days after the Closing Date, (a) make all necessary filings and take all other necessary actions to discontinue any references to the Retained Names, (b) revise print advertising, product labeling and all other information or other materials, including any Internet or other electronic communications vehicles, to delete all references to the Retained Names and (c) change signage

and stationery and otherwise discontinue use of the Retained Names, except with respect to the Transferred Inventory.

With respect to the Transferred Inventory, Purchaser may continue to sell such inventory, notwithstanding that it or its labeling or packaging bears one or more of the Retained Names, for a period of time after the Closing not to exceed six months. None of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01 shall be construed to obligate Purchaser or any of its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Entity) to require any wholesaler, retailer or other merchant or customer of the Business to conduct itself in accordance therewith. After the Closing Date, Purchaser and its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Entity) shall file applications to amend or terminate any certificate of assumed name or d/b/a filings, within 30 days after Purchaser or any of its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Entity) shall have become aware of such assumed name or d/b/a filing so as to eliminate the right of Purchaser and its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Entity) to use the Retained Names in such assumed name or d/b/a filing.

SECTION 6.02.
    Access to Information; Confidentiality. (%3) Until the Closing, upon reasonable written notice, and except in the case of an Action by Purchaser against Seller, Seller shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, with respect to the Business only and to the extent permitted by Law, afford to Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to all their properties, plants, books, systems, Contracts, commitments, personnel and Records relating to the Business (including (A) such access as is reasonably necessary for Purchaser to engage in timely and informed consultation with Seller with respect to the Port Wentworth Project and (B) financial Records, but excluding Tax Returns that are included in Section 1.02(b)(vii) (provided that work papers (or the relevant portions thereof) related thereto shall be made available to Purchaser upon its reasonable request) and Records that are included in Section 1.02(b)(viii)).

(d)
    From and after the Closing until the sixth anniversary of the date hereof, upon reasonable written notice, (i) Seller shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, the extent permitted by Law, afford Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to information relating to the Business, the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities for Tax, compliance, reporting or other reasonable business purposes and, during such period, Seller shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Purchaser, to the extent permitted by Law, all other information with respect to or concerning the Transactions as Purchaser may reasonably request and (ii) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, to the extent permitted by Law, afford Seller and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to information relating to the Business, the Excluded Assets and the Retained Liabilities for Tax, compliance, reporting or other reasonable business purposes and, during such period, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Seller, to the extent permitted by Law, all other information with respect to or concerning the Transactions as Seller

may reasonably request, in each case except in the case of an Action by one party against the other.

(e)
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.02(a) or 6.02(b), any party may withhold (i) any documents (or portions thereof) or information that such party is obligated to keep confidential from the requesting party pursuant to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party, (ii) any document (or portions thereof) or information which may constitute privileged attorney-client communications or attorney work product and the transfer of which, or the provision of access to which, as reasonably determined by such party’s counsel, constitutes a waiver of any such privilege (except that, after the Closing, Seller shall not withhold under this clause (ii) any such document or information relating to an Assumed Liability) and (iii) any document (or portions thereof) or information relating to pricing or other matters that are highly competitively sensitive if the exchange of such document (or portions thereof) or information, as reasonably determined by such party’s counsel, might reasonably result in a violation of antitrust Laws by such party or any of its affiliates. If any material is withheld by such party pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, such party shall inform the other party as to the general nature of what is being withheld, and the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any consents necessary, or restructure the form of access, so as to permit the access requested. If so reasonably requested by Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to the documents and information accessed pursuant to this Section 6.02. In respect of any request after the Closing Date, the party requesting such access agrees to reimburse the other party promptly for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such request; provided, however, that such other party shall first consult with the requesting party with respect to costs and expenses of third-party service providers that are expected to be incurred in connection with the request before incurring such costs and expenses and shall not, without the consent of the requesting party, incur such third-party service provider costs and expenses if it would not have incurred such costs and expenses in response to its own need for comparable information arising in its other businesses. Upon Purchaser’s execution of a work paper access letter in customary form, Purchaser shall be afforded reasonable access by Seller to all information used by Seller and the other members of the Seller Group in the preparation of the Business Financial Statements.

(f)
    After the Closing Date, except in the case of an Action by one party against another party, each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to each other party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees and other Representatives of the Business as witnesses, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees and other Representatives) may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(g)
    After the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall keep confidential, and shall cause their respective affiliates and instruct their respective Representatives to keep confidential, all confidential or non-public information received from the other party hereunder (including, in the case of Seller, the Purchaser Disclosure Letter) except as required by applicable Law or administrative process and except for information which is available to the public, other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.02(e). Seller shall have the right to make and retain copies of all Transferred Assets that are the subject of Section 1.02(a)(xi) for Tax, compliance, reporting or other reasonable business purposes and, with respect to any such Transferred Assets that are confidential or non-public, Seller shall keep confidential any such copies in accordance with this Section 6.02(e). The covenant set forth in this Section 6.02(e) shall terminate three years after the Closing Date.

(h)
    Effective as of the Closing, information relating to the Business shall be deemed not to constitute Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) under the Confidentiality Agreement and Common Interest Information (as defined in the JDA) under the JDA, and information relating to the Seller Business shall remain Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) under the Confidentiality Agreement and information relating to the Purchaser and the Seller Business shall remain Common Interest Information (as defined in the JDA) under the JDA; provided, however, that if Purchaser has complied with its obligations under the last sentence of this Section 6.02(f), neither Purchaser nor any of its affiliates or Representatives (other than any Transferred Employee) shall have any liability for any unauthorized disclosure of information relating to the Seller Business by any Transferred Employee. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its affiliates (including the Transferred Entity) to, take such steps as it may deem necessary to remove, erase, delete or otherwise destroy all Seller information (whether in print, electronic or other forms) that does not constitute a Transferred Asset and that is in the possession of any Business Employee who will become a Transferred Employee after the Closing. After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its affiliates (including the Transferred Entity) to, instruct all Transferred Employees to promptly remove, erase, delete or otherwise destroy all Seller information (whether in print, electronic or other forms) in the possession of any Transferred Employee that does not constitute a Transferred Asset.

(i)
    Subject to Section 6.02(f), all information provided to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.02(a) shall be held by Purchaser as Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

(j)
    Except as set forth in Section 6.02(f), this Section 6.02 shall be without prejudice to the Common Interest, Confidentiality and Joint Defense Agreement (the “JDA”) entered into on behalf of the parties as of March 31, 2016, which agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 6.03.
    Reasonable Best Efforts. (%3) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and except as expressly provided in Section 6.04, each of the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to cause the Closing to occur in an expeditious manner, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain all necessary or advisable actions or non-actions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities and third parties, make all necessary or advisable registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and obtain an approval or waiver from, or avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity or third party, (ii) obtain all necessary or advisable consents, approvals or waivers from third parties and (iii) defend against any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the consummation of the Transactions, including actions to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed. Purchaser and Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective affiliates to, make any acquisitions of any Person or business or acquire any equity interests or pulp mill (or like facility) that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII not being satisfied.

(a)
    Except as expressly provided in Section 6.04(c) and (d), Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to have any restraint or prohibition of the type described in Section 7.01(b) or 7.01(e) terminated as promptly as practicable.

SECTION 6.04.
    Antitrust Notification and Other Regulatory Filings. (%3) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall (i) file or cause to be filed as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 15 Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement (unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser), with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) all notification and report forms that may be required, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser, for the Transactions, (ii) file or cause to be filed as promptly as practicable filings that may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser, with any other applicable Governmental Entities pursuant to any other Review Law and (iii) include in each such filing, notification and report form referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) a request for early termination or acceleration of any applicable waiting or review periods, to the extent available under the applicable Review Laws. Any such filing, notification and report form and supplemental information shall be in substantial compliance with the applicable requirements of the HSR Act and other Review Laws. In addition, each of Seller and Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, appropriate filings with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) in connection with obtaining the FERC Approval, which filings shall be in substantial compliance with the applicable requirements of the Power Act. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary or

advisable under the HSR Act and other Review Laws and the Power Act. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC, the DOJ, the FERC and any other applicable Governmental Entity and shall comply with any such inquiry or request as promptly as practicable. The parties shall promptly furnish to each other complete copies of any written submissions to any Governmental Entity in connection with this Section 6.04, subject to any reasonable redactions to protect highly competitively sensitive or otherwise confidential information. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the FERC Approval, expiration or termination of any waiting periods under the HSR Act, and any clearances required or advisable under other Review Laws for the consummation of the Transactions as promptly as practicable.

(k)
    Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any other Review Law and the receipt of the FERC Approval as soon as practicable. Seller and Purchaser agree not to extend, directly or indirectly, any such waiting period or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Entity to delay or not to consummate the Transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date, except with the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that Purchaser may, following consultation with Seller, elect to withdraw and re-file its HSR notification and report form once so long as Purchaser has a good faith basis to conclude that doing so is reasonably likely to prevent the issuance of a “second request” in connection with the HSR Act. Seller and Purchaser agree not to have any substantive contact with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing or proceeding contemplated by this Section 6.04 unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to participate. Seller shall not make any offer, acceptance or counter-offer to or otherwise engage in negotiations with any Governmental Entity with respect to any proposed settlement, consent decree, commitment or remedy, except as specifically agreed with Purchaser.

(l)
    If any Regulatory Legal Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the Transactions, Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to contest such Regulatory Legal Proceeding until each such Regulatory Legal Proceeding is resolved pursuant to a settlement or a final nonappealable court order. Purchaser shall be entitled, in consultation with Seller, to direct the defense with respect to any Regulatory Legal Proceeding. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Purchaser from opposing by refusing to consent to, through litigation or otherwise, any request, attempt or demand by any Governmental Entity or other person for any divestiture, hold separate condition, or any other conditions, restrictions or requirements with respect to the assets or business of Purchaser or any of its affiliates (including the Transferred Assets); provided that Purchaser shall be permitted to refuse to provide its consent to any divestiture described in the proviso in Section 6.04(d) (through litigation or otherwise) only so long as (i) doing so would not reasonably be expected to prevent the Closing from occurring by the Outside Date and (ii) Purchaser is not doing so merely to delay the Closing.

(m)
    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be required to do or agree to do any of the following: (i) agree to sell or otherwise dispose of, hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), or divest all or any material portion of the business, assets or operations of Purchaser or any of its affiliates or the business, assets or operations to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant hereto, (ii) create, terminate, or divest any material relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of Purchaser or its affiliates or material relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant hereto, (iii) agree to or otherwise become subject to any material limitations on (A) the right of Purchaser to control or operate its business (including the business to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant hereto) or assets (including the Transferred Assets) or (B) the right of Purchaser to exercise full rights of ownership of its business (including the business to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant hereto) or assets (including the Transferred Assets) and (iv) propose, negotiate, commit to or agree to do or permit to be done any of the foregoing, in each case as may be required under or with respect to any Review Law or the Power Act in order to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied in a timely manner; provided, however, that Purchaser shall, if necessary to resolve any objections that a Governmental Entity may assert under any Review Law with respect to the Transactions, agree to divest up to two of the facilities described in Section 6.04(d) of the Purchaser Disclosure Letter. If, prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees with any Governmental Entity as contemplated by the foregoing sentence to divest more than one such facility to a third party, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by $50,000,000. If the Purchase Price is so reduced and Purchaser is thereafter irrevocably released from such divestiture obligation with respect to, and permitted to retain, all but one such facility or all such facilities, Purchaser shall, within five Business Days of such release, pay to Seller in cash by wire transfer of same day funds $50,000,000, plus interest thereon at a rate of 5% per annum, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365, from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 6.05.
    Notices. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Seller of (i) any representation or warranty made by it contained in any Transaction Document that is qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect becoming untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any such representation or warranty that is not so qualified becoming untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or (ii) the failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under any Transaction Document; provided, however, that in either case, no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under the Transaction Documents.

SECTION 6.06.
    Non-Solicitation. Seller shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its subsidiaries to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, the making of any Acquisition Proposal or (b) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any

confidential information with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal, except to notify any such Person of the existence of this Section 6.06.

SECTION 6.07.
    Employee Matters. (%3)Employee List. Section 6.07(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of the Business Employees as of the date hereof (the “Employee List”), identified by Seller identification number (not by name), with (i) each Business Employee’s title, base salary, wage rate or annualized fixed or guaranteed remuneration, start date, target bonus, 2016 long-term incentive grant value, employment status (i.e., part-time or full-time, exempt or non-exempt), an indication of whether or not such Business Employee’s employment is governed by a CBA, whether the Business Employee is active, inactive or on leave of absence and total recognized service and (ii) each Canada Business Employee’s date of birth and work permit status and type, in each case, subject to Seller’s obligations under applicable data privacy Laws or any other obligations to maintain the confidentiality of such information under applicable Law. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an update to the Employee List at a reasonable time prior to the Closing Date and such update shall also include each Business Employee’s accrued and earned vacation days or other annual leave.

(a)
    Continuation of Employment. (%4) In the event the employment of a Business Employee does not automatically transfer to Purchaser or its subsidiaries on or after the Closing Date by operation of applicable Law (including through the Transferred Entity), then, no later than the earliest to occur of (A) in the case of each Switzerland Business Employee and each Hong Kong Business Employee, 30 days prior to the Closing Date, and in the case of each other Business Employee, 20 days prior to the Closing Date, (B) the date required by applicable Law, any Business Benefit Agreement or any applicable CBA, and (C) in the case of each Canada Business Employee, the date required to avoid the minimum severance benefits required by the Alberta Employment Standards Code, and in the case of all other Business Employees, the date required to avoid any Severance Obligations, Purchaser shall make offers of employment, effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Transfer Time”), to each Business Employee. Offers pursuant to this Section 6.07(b) shall (1) be in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller, (2) comply with applicable Law, any applicable CBA and this Section 6.07 and (3) provide for terms and conditions of employment which, in the case of each Canada Business Employee, are sufficient to avoid all Severance Obligations other than the minimum severance benefits required by the Alberta Employment Standards Code, and in the case of all other Business Employees, are sufficient to avoid all Severance Obligations.

(i)
    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the terms of any applicable CBA and applicable Law, any U.S. Business Employee who accepts such offer of employment and is not actively at work on the Closing Date by reason of disability leave or other extended leave protected by applicable Law shall become an employee of Purchaser or its subsidiaries only if such U.S. Business Employee returns from such leave within the twelve-month period immediately following the Closing Date (or any such longer period during which Seller or its subsidiaries, or Purchaser or its subsidiaries, are

required by applicable Law to employ such U.S. Business Employee upon his or her return from such leave) and is able to perform substantially the same functions and responsibilities required of the position that such U.S. Business Employee held prior to such leave with such accommodations as may be required by applicable Law, in which case such U.S. Business Employee shall commence employment with Purchaser as of the date such U.S. Business Employee returns from such leave and can perform such functions and responsibilities, rather than the Closing Date (all references in this Agreement to the Transfer Time with respect to any such Business Employee shall be construed as references to the time, if any, such U.S. Business Employee commences active employment with Purchaser or its subsidiaries). Any Non-U.S. Business Employee who accepts such offer of employment and is not actively at work on the Closing Date by reason of disability leave or other extended leave protected by applicable Law shall nonetheless become an employee of Purchaser or its subsidiaries on the Closing Date.

(ii)
    In the event the employment of a Business Employee can transfer automatically to Purchaser or its subsidiaries upon the Closing Date or later by operation of applicable Law (including through the Transferred Entity), Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to, take all actions under applicable Law and all other actions as are necessary or appropriate such that the employment of such Business Employee will transfer to Purchaser or its subsidiaries automatically as of the Transfer Time or such later time. Transfers of employment pursuant to this Section 6.07(b)(iii) shall comply with applicable Law, any applicable CBA and this Section 6.07.

(iii)
    Effective as of the applicable Transfer Time, each Transferred Employee shall cease to be eligible to accrue benefits under any Business Benefit Plan (other than any Business Benefit Plan maintained by the Transferred Entity).

(iv)
    Nothing herein shall be construed as a representation or guarantee by Seller or any other member of the Seller Group that any particular Business Employee or Business Employees will accept the offer of employment from Purchaser or will continue in employment with Purchaser following the Transfer Time.

(v)
    For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall retain all Liabilities in respect of any individuals who had been employees of the Business, but who ceased to be employed in the Business prior to the date hereof, and all Business Employees who do not become Transferred Employees; provided that Purchaser shall be liable for any Severance Obligations that are allocated to Purchaser under Section 6.07(j).

(b)
    Prior Service Credit. From and after the applicable Transfer Time, Purchaser shall give or cause the appropriate subsidiary of Purchaser (including the Transferred Entity) to give to

each Transferred Employee full credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vacation accrual and other paid time off, severance or separation entitlements (whether under a CBA, statute or common law), long-service pay and vesting under any employee benefit plan or arrangement provided, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) for such Transferred Employee’s service with Seller and its subsidiaries, and with any predecessor employer, to the extent recognized by Seller and its subsidiaries and affiliates for such purposes immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Time, except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Purchaser shall be responsible for the provision of all such obligations arising in respect of services performed after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) shall not be required to provide credit for such service for benefit accrual purposes under any employee benefit plan or arrangement of Purchaser or its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) that is a defined benefit pension plan, except (i) to the extent required under any applicable CBA or applicable Law or (ii) with respect to any Geneva Pension Plan that is sponsored by Weyerhaeuser International Inc. immediately prior to the Closing Date and is an Assumed Benefit Plan; provided that, in no event shall the Purchaser’s provision of such credit result in a duplication of benefits.

(c)
    Continuation of Compensation and Benefits. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.07(b), during the applicable Continuation Period Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) to, provide each Transferred Employee with his or her applicable Specified Compensation and Benefits.

(d)
    Assumption of Liabilities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in Section 6.07(e) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, Seller shall remain solely responsible for all employment and employee benefit-related matters, obligations, liabilities and commitments with respect to all Transferred Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries (regardless of when or where such matters, obligations, liabilities and commitments arose or arise or were or are incurred) under or with respect to any Business Benefit Plan or Business Benefit Agreement other than any Assumed Benefit Plan or Assumed Benefit Agreement, including any required notice of termination, termination or severance pay (contractual, statutory or at common law) arising under circumstances other than those described in Section 6.07(j), together with all wages, bonuses, vacations, vacation pay (including days in lieu), benefits, source deductions and other remuneration accrued prior to the Closing.

(e)
    Cash Bonus and Incentive Compensation Plans; Retention Arrangements. (%4)Seller shall, or shall cause its subsidiaries to, pay each Transferred Employee as soon as practicable following the Closing, but in any event no later than the times required under each such plan or arrangement, an amount equal to the amount such Transferred Employee would have been eligible to receive under the terms of the bonus and incentive compensation plans or arrangements of Seller and its subsidiaries, other than those maintained by the Transferred Entity, for services rendered prior to the date that the employee becomes a Transferred Employee,

calculated as if the Transferred Employee had been employed by the Seller on the last day of the year including the applicable Transfer Time and assuming achievement of applicable goals and conditions at target performance levels based on the assumption used to record accruals in the Business Financial Statements, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days which have elapsed in such year through the Transfer Time and the denominator of which is 365.

(i)
    Effective as of the Closing Date, the Transferred Entity shall retain all liability for compensation payable to the Transferred Employees under each cash-based bonus or incentive compensation plan or arrangement maintained by the Transferred Entity, whether relating to performance periods elapsed prior to or following the applicable Transfer Time, and following the applicable Transfer Time at the times required under each such plan or arrangement, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) to, make any and all payments to the Transferred Employees required in accordance with the terms of such plans or arrangements with respect to such performance periods, in each case, in an amount no less than the amount each Transferred Employee would have been eligible to receive for the applicable performance period had such Transferred Employee remained an employee of Seller or its subsidiaries through the requisite date (or, in the case of any such Transferred Employee whose employment terminates following the Transfer Time and prior to such requisite date under circumstances entitling such Transferred Employee to a prorated payment under such plan or arrangement, through the date of such termination), based on actual achievement of applicable performance goals.

(ii)
    For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall, or shall cause its subsidiaries to, retain all liability, without limitation, for retention arrangements including the retention letter agreements set forth in Section 6.07(f)(iii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter and comply with each such arrangement pursuant to its terms as in effect as of the Closing Date. The Liabilities described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be Retained Liabilities.

(a)
    Certain Welfare Benefits Matters. (%4) Effective as of immediately following the Closing and applicable to claims incurred with respect to any Transferred Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) after the applicable Transfer Time, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) to, have in effect for the benefit of the Transferred Employees employee welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements providing access to medical, dental, health, non-occupational short-term disability and long-term disability benefits and any other employee welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements required by applicable Law, but (without limiting the generality of Sections 6.07(b) or 6.07(d)) expressly excluding any retiree medical benefits (collectively, the “Purchaser Welfare Plans”). Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity (A) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Transferred Employees

and their dependents and beneficiaries under the Purchaser Welfare Plans, to the extent waived under the applicable corresponding Business Benefit Plan immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Time, and (B) provide each Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents and beneficiaries with credit under the terms of the Purchaser Welfare Plans for any co-payments and deductibles paid under the applicable corresponding Business Benefit Plans prior to the applicable Transfer Time in the calendar year in which the applicable Transfer Time occurs for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements (and any annual and lifetime maximums) under any Purchaser Welfare Plan in which such Transferred Employee participates.

(vi)
    From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume all Liabilities of Seller and its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) to the Transferred Employees (and their eligible dependents and beneficiaries) in respect of health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Sections 601 et seq. and Sections 701 et seq. of ERISA, Section 4980B and Sections 9801 et seq. of the Code and applicable state or similar Laws, which Liabilities shall be Assumed Liabilities.

(vii)
    From and after the applicable Transfer Time, Seller and its subsidiaries (other than the Transferred Entity) shall retain all Liabilities in accordance with the Business Benefit Plans for payment of all medical, dental, vision, health, non-occupational short-term disability benefit and long-term disability benefit claims (collectively, “Welfare Benefit Claims”) incurred under such plans prior to the applicable Transfer Time with respect to any Transferred Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof), which Liabilities shall be Retained Liabilities, and Purchaser and its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) shall not assume any Liability with respect to such Welfare Benefit Claims, except that such Liabilities shall be Assumed Liabilities, to the extent required by applicable Law or to the extent such Welfare Benefit Claims (A) are incurred under any Assumed Benefit Plan or (B) are insured under an insurance policy in respect of which (1) the Transferred Entity (or, as of the Closing, Purchaser or its subsidiaries) becomes the beneficiary or (2) a Transferred Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) is the beneficiary and such insurance policy transfers with such Transferred Employee pursuant to applicable Law to Purchaser and its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) as of the Closing. For the purposes of this Section 6.07(g)(iii) and Section 6.07(g)(i), a claim shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) life, accidental death and dismemberment, and business travel accident insurance benefits and long-term disability benefits, upon the death, disability or accident giving rise to such benefits, (ii) health, dental and prescription drug benefits (including in respect of any hospital confinement), upon provision of such services, materials or supplies, and (iii) non-occupational short-term disability benefits, upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim for such benefit payment.

(viii)
    Seller shall, or shall cause its subsidiaries to, provide each Canada Business Employee and New Bern Business Employee who has satisfied the eligibility criteria to receive benefits under the post-retirement health and life insurance plans of Seller and its affiliates (other than the requirement to have terminated employment) (such plans, collectively, the “Seller Retiree Welfare Plans”) as of immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Time with welfare benefit coverage under the applicable Seller Retiree Welfare Plan from and after the applicable Transfer Time in accordance with the terms of the applicable Seller Retiree Welfare Plans.

(i)
    From and after the Closing Date, (A) all claims for workers’ compensation benefits for Business Employees that are incurred prior to the Closing Date (or prior to the applicable Transfer Time, in the case of U.S. Inactive Employees) shall be covered under the workers’ compensation plans of Seller and its subsidiaries and (B) all claims for workers’ compensation benefits for Transferred Employees that are incurred on or following the Closing Date (or on or following the applicable Transfer Time, in the case of U.S. Inactive Employees) shall be covered under the workers’ compensation plans of Purchaser and its subsidiaries. A claim for workers’ compensation benefits shall be deemed to be incurred when the event giving rise to the claim (the “Workers’ Compensation Event”) occurs. If the Workers’ Compensation Event occurs over a period both preceding and following the Closing Date (or preceding and following the applicable Transfer Time, in the case of U.S. Inactive Employees), the claim shall be jointly covered under the workers’ compensation plans of Seller and its subsidiaries and the workers’ compensation plans of Purchaser and its subsidiaries, and shall be equitably apportioned among such plans based upon the relative periods of time that the Workers’ Compensation Event transpired preceding and following the Closing Date (or preceding and following the applicable Transfer Time, in the case of U.S. Inactive Employees).

(b)
    Tax-Qualified Savings/401(k) Plan/Seller’s Deferred Compensation Plan/Canada Registered Pension Plan.

(i)
    Without limiting the generality of Sections 6.07(b)(i)(3) and 6.07(d), effective no later than the Closing Date, Purchaser or its affiliates shall have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that include a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (and a related trust exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code) (collectively, the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”). Each Transferred Employee participating in a Business Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Business 401(k) Plan”) as of immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Time shall be fully vested in his or her account balance under the Business 401(k) Plan. Each Transferred Employee participating in the Business 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Time shall become a participant in the

Purchaser 401(k) Plan as of the applicable Transfer Time and each other Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Purchaser 401(k) Plan, subject to any applicable waiting period.

(ii)
    Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser 401(k) Plan to accept a “direct rollover” to such Purchaser 401(k) Plan of the account balances of each Transferred Employee (other than any portion thereof pertaining to an outstanding loan to the Transferred Employee) under the Business 401(k) Plan in which such Transferred Employee participates, if such direct rollover is elected in accordance with applicable Law by such Transferred Employee.

(iii)
    From and after the Closing Date, Seller and its subsidiaries shall retain all assets and Liabilities under Seller’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of the Business Employees in the United States and such liabilities shall be Retained Liabilities.

(iv)
    Effective no later than the Closing Date, Purchaser or its affiliates shall have in effect a “registered pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 248(l) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) that contains a “money purchase provision” (within the meaning of Section 147.1(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Each Canada Business Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee and participates in a registered pension plan of Seller as of immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Time shall be offered enrollment in the money purchase provision of Purchaser’s corresponding registered pension plan in Canada as of the applicable Transfer Time.

(c)
    Accrued Vacation. Effective as of the applicable Transfer Time, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or the terms of any applicable CBA, Purchaser shall assume Liability for all vacation days or other annual leave (other than “banked” vacation days, as such term is used under Seller’s vacation policies) accrued or earned but not yet taken by each Transferred Employee as of the applicable Transfer Time, as determined pursuant to Seller’s policies and reflected on Seller’s books and records (the “Accrued Vacation Days”), which Liabilities shall be Assumed Liabilities. Seller shall pay each Transferred Employee, within 20 Business Days following the applicable Transfer Time, an amount equal to any “banked” vacation days standing to such Transferred Employee’s credit as of the applicable Transfer Time. In the event that any Transferred Employee is entitled under applicable Law or the terms of any applicable CBA to be paid for any Accrued Vacation Days on or after the applicable Transfer Time, (i) Purchaser or its applicable subsidiary or, solely to the extent required by applicable Law or the terms of any applicable CBA (as reasonable determined by Seller), Seller or its applicable subsidiary, shall pay any required amounts to such Transferred Employee, (ii) such amounts, whether or not paid by Seller or its applicable subsidiary, shall remain Assumed Liabilities and (iii) to the extent any such amounts are paid by Seller or its subsidiaries, Seller or the applicable subsidiary shall be

entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.02 with respect thereto. From and after the applicable Transfer Time, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) to, honor all the Accrued Vacation Days for which payment is not made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that Purchaser is required by applicable Law or the terms of any applicable CBA to assume any “banked” vacation days standing to a Transferred Employee’s credit as of the applicable Transfer Time, Liability for such “banked” vacation days shall remain Retained Liabilities and Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.02 with respect thereto.

(d)
    Severance. (%4) The parties intend that Transferred Employees shall have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the applicable Transfer Time, and that, except as provided in Section 6.07(l) for purposes of any severance or termination benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement of Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, the Transactions shall not constitute a severance of employment of any Transferred Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the Transactions. Without limiting the generality of Sections 6.07(b)(i)(3) and 6.07(d), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) to, provide each Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser or its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) during the applicable Continuation Period with severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits that would have been provided to such Transferred Employee in the event of such a termination of employment under the applicable CBA, Business Benefit Plan or Business Benefit Agreement as in effect with respect to such Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, taking into account such Transferred Employee’s service with Seller and its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) or with any predecessor employer and such Transferred Employee’s service with Purchaser and its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity).

(i)
    Assumed Liabilities shall include any Liabilities that may result from claims made by any Business Employee for any Severance Obligations (A) directly resulting from any failure by Purchaser or its subsidiaries to comply with this Section 6.07 or (B) arising out of, relating to or in connection with (1) any failure by Purchaser or its subsidiaries to offer employment to such Business Employee, such Business Employee’s refusal to accept an offer of employment from Purchaser or its subsidiaries that fails to comply with this Section 6.07, or such Business Employee’s refusal to commence employment with or objection to the automatic transfer of employment to Purchaser and its subsidiaries under terms and conditions of employment that fail to comply with this Section 6.07, including in each case Seller’s termination of employment of any such Business Employee or (2) Purchaser’s or its subsidiary’s employment or termination of employment of any Transferred Employee on or following the applicable Transfer Time. In the event that, pursuant to applicable Law or applicable CBA, any action or omission by Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries at or after the Transfer Time to amend or otherwise modify any terms and conditions of a Transferred Employee's employment causes (x) the offer of employment to such Transferred Employee to not provide for the terms and

conditions of employment required by Section 6.07(b)(i) or (y) the transfer of such Transferred Employee's employment to Purchaser to not have occurred automatically by operation of applicable Law or to otherwise not comply with Section 6.07(b)(iii), then, for purposes of this Section 6.07(j), any Liabilities that may result from claims made by such Transferred Employee for any Severance Obligations shall be deemed to directly result from a failure by Purchaser or its subsidiaries to comply with this Section 6.07, as described in Section 6.07(j)(ii)(A). In the event that any Business Employee does not become a Transferred Employee as a result of any of the circumstances described in Sections 6.07(j)(ii)(A) or 6.07(j)(ii)(B)(1) and Seller and its subsidiaries are not permitted at Applicable Law or an applicable CBA to terminate the employment of such Business Employee within the 90-day period following the Closing Date (or, in the case of any U.S. Inactive Employee, within the 90-day period after the employee returns to work) or following a legally or contractually mandated notice period thereafter, then an amount equal to the value of the Severance Obligations that such Business Employee (or U.S. Inactive Employee) would have received if Seller or its subsidiaries had been permitted to terminate his or her employment on the Closing Date shall be treated as an Assumed Liability and Seller shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.02 with respect thereto. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser bear any liability for severance payments or termination benefits with respect to (i) a Business Employee to whom an offer of employment that complies with the pertinent provisions of Section 6.07 is made but who declines to accept such offer or (ii) a Business Employee to whom an offer of employment that complies with the pertinent provisions of Section 6.07 is made and who accepts such offer but who, other than as a result of any action or omission by Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries described in this Section 6.07(j), is nevertheless entitled to severance payments or termination benefits under an employee benefit plan of Seller or any of its affiliates.

(a)
    Seller Pension Plans. Except with respect to any Liabilities that transfer to Purchaser or its subsidiaries pursuant to applicable Law (including through the Transferred Entity), (i) from and after the Closing Date, Seller and its subsidiaries shall retain all assets and Liabilities under (A) Seller’s tax-qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans maintained for the benefit of the Business Employees and (B) each “registered pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 248(l) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) that is sponsored, administered or contributed to by the Seller or any of its subsidiaries, whether in respect of a “defined benefit provision” or a “money purchase provision” (as each is defined in Section 147.1(l) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)), which Liabilities shall be Retained Liabilities. In respect of the plans described in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Seller shall make payments to Transferred Employees with vested rights thereunder in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan and applicable Law, as in effect from time to time and, effective as of the applicable Transfer Time, each Transferred Employee shall cease active benefit accrual in such plans and service performed for, and compensation earned from, any employer other than Seller or its subsidiaries (or their predecessors, to the extent recognized under the applicable plan), shall not be taken into account for any purpose under the applicable plan. As of the applicable Transfer Time, each Transferred Employee who participates in a defined benefit pension plan shall be fully vested in his or her accrued benefits thereunder.

(b)
    Collectively Bargained Employees. (%4) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) to, comply with the terms of, and assume all Liabilities and obligations of Seller and its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) with respect to, each CBA as in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, and to comply with all applicable Laws with respect thereto, until such time as Purchaser or its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) negotiate an alternative contract or bargaining agreement or agreements. Such Liabilities shall be Assumed Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of Sections 6.07(b)(iv), 6.07(c), 6.07(k) and 6.07(n) and this Section 6.07(l), until such time as Purchaser or its subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entity) negotiate an alternative contract or bargaining agreement or agreements: (A) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, comply with the terms of the CBA identified on Schedule 6.07(l) of the Seller Disclosure Letter as in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date with respect to all obligations to provide defined benefit pension benefits to the Transferred Employees covered by such CBA; (B) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, give credit to each Transferred Employee covered by such CBA for purposes of eligibility for early retirement reduction factors with respect to such defined benefit pension benefits for such Transferred Employee’s service with Seller and its subsidiaries, and with any predecessor employer, to the same extent recognized by Seller and its subsidiaries and affiliates immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Time; (C) each Transferred Employee covered by such CBA shall cease active benefit accrual in Seller’s tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan as of the applicable Transfer Time; and (D) Seller and its subsidiaries shall not give credit to any Transferred Employee covered by such CBA for any purpose under Seller’s tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan for such Transferred Employee’s service with Purchaser and its subsidiaries and affiliates or age attained following the applicable Transfer Time.

(v)
    Purchaser agrees to recognize the unions set forth on Section 6.07(l) of the Seller Disclosure Letter as the sole and exclusive collective bargaining agents as of the Closing Date and immediately thereafter for the Transferred Employees represented by such unions as of immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(vi)
    Without limiting the generality of Section 6.07(e), Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all grievances, references, arbitrations and unfair labor practice charges under any CBA that are made, filed, commenced or instituted before or after the Closing Date, including those based substantially on events or circumstances that occurred, existed or were initiated before the Closing Date, will be Assumed Liabilities.

(vii)
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.07, Purchaser further agrees that the provisions of this Section 6.07 shall be subject to any applicable provision of a CBA in respect of Transferred Employees, to the extent such provision of this Section 6.07 is inconsistent with or otherwise in conflict with the provisions of any such CBA.

(c)
    Flexible Spending Account Plans. From and after the Closing Date, for purposes of the account balances of the Seller flexible spending account plan maintained in the United States with respect to Transferred Employees and their dependents (the “Seller Flexible Spending Account Plan”), which Liabilities shall be Retained Liabilities, Seller shall treat Transferred Employees who made elections under the Seller Flexible Spending Account Plan for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs as if they are terminated employees.

(d)
    No Benefit Plan Transfers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than (i) as required by applicable Law with respect to an Assumed Benefit Plan or Assumed Benefit Agreement or (ii) as a result of direct rollovers from the Seller 401(k) Plan to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan, there shall be no transfer of assets from any Business Benefit Plan to any employee benefit plan or arrangement maintained by Purchaser or its subsidiaries, except as otherwise may be agreed by and between both parties.

SECTION 6.14.

SECTION 6.16.
    Insurance Matters. In the event that, prior to the Closing Date, any Transferred Asset that

is covered under a third-party insurance policy maintained by Seller or under which Seller can make a claim (a “Seller Insurance Policy”) suffers any damage, destruction or other loss, Seller shall surrender to Purchaser after the Closing Date any insurance proceeds received by Seller under any Seller Insurance Policy with respect to such damage, destruction or loss, less any proceeds applied to the physical restoration of such asset or to otherwise respond to such loss.

The Seller shall or shall cause a member of the Seller Group to submit the RPR to the applicable municipal authority for a certificate of compliance and shall provide a copy of such certificate to Purchaser and the Title Company upon issuance. If the applicable municipal authority refuses to issue a certificate of compliance in respect of the RPR prior to Closing, then the Seller shall or shall cause a member of the Seller Group to promptly commence and diligently prosecute until Closing an application or applications for any additional permits or relaxations as may be required for issuance of the certificate of compliance.

(ii)
    The cost of all Surveys shall be paid by Seller; provided, however, that any Table

A items requested by Purchaser (in addition to Table A items listed in Schedule 6.17 of the Seller Disclosure Letter) will be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. None of the Surveys shall be deemed to be Asset Conveyance Documents or Ancillary Agreements for the purposes of this Agreement, and Purchaser hereby acknowledges that any Permitted Lien that may remain on any Title Policy as a result of any Survey as of the Closing Date shall not be deemed to be a failure of any condition set forth in Article VII.

(i)
    The parties acknowledge and agree that the Exhibit “A”s to the Site Services Agreements set forth an initial assessment representing the parties’ good faith estimates of the descriptions of the applicable site services.

(ii)
    All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 6.17(c) shall be shared equally by the parties. The parties shall cooperate to minimize all such costs and expenses.

    Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in any event prior to Closing, agree on a sharing mechanism and finalize related documentation with respect to the real property located in Tokyo, Japan and used in the operation or conduct of the Business. In the event the parties cannot agree on a sharing mechanism and finalize related documentation with respect to the real property located in Tokyo, Japan by the Closing Date, upon Purchaser’s request, if permitted by applicable Law, Seller shall grant Purchaser a license to use the portion of such premises currently used in the operation or conduct of the Business on market terms.

With respect to the Shared Facilities, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, by the Closing Date:

(A)
    secure any Governmental Approvals required for separation of the Business from the other operations conducted at these facilities, subject to such modifications as may be required or requested by Governmental Entities; and

(B)
    accomplish any formal subdivision of land on which the Shared Facilities are located (the “Subdivision”), in accordance with Governmental Approvals, so as to be able to convey the fee interests in the subdivided portions that constitute Owned Real Property to Purchaser.

If any Subdivision has not occurred prior to the Closing Date, (i) the subject Owned Real Property as described in Section 1.02(a)(i)(A) shall continue to be deemed Transferred Real Property, and (ii) Seller or the applicable member of Seller Group shall, pursuant to an agreement in a form acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser, lease, license, or otherwise grant Purchaser the right to occupy the applicable portions of the Shared Facilities for which the Subdivision has not been accomplished (which agreement will be triple net, and rent will be $1/year) until the completion of such Subdivision. Once the Subdivision has been completed, Seller shall convey to Purchaser the portions of the Shared Facilities constituting Owned Real Property for no additional consideration beyond the Purchase Price (it being agreed that Seller and Purchaser shall pay their respective shares of any costs associated with obtaining endorsements and/or extended title coverage, recording costs and other transfer costs, including transfer taxes, as if such transfer occurred on the Closing Date).

Purchaser shall lease such area/lot to Seller at no cost. The term of this lease agreement shall be five (5) years after the Closing Date, with Seller’s right to two (2) five (5) year extension options.

economic claims, rights and benefits of the Georgia Power Contract pursuant to Section 1.03(b) or to obtain any necessary consents to assign (or cause to be assigned) the Georgia Power Contract to Purchaser (or a Purchaser Sub) under Section 1.03(c) because Purchaser has materially breached its obligations under Section 1.03 as it relates to the Georgia Power Contract and Purchaser fails to cure any such breach within 10 Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller (with a description in reasonable detail of such breach).

SECTION 6.19.

If Purchaser has not obtained the complete and unconditional release of Seller and its affiliates from any Credit Support Obligation set forth in Section 6.19 of the Seller Disclosure Letter as of the Closing Date (each such Credit Support Obligation, until such time as such Credit Support Obligation is so released, a “Seller Continuing Credit Support Obligation”), then (i) Purchaser shall continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly the complete and unconditional release of Seller and its affiliates from each Seller Continuing Credit Support Obligation until such release is obtained and (ii) any demand or draw upon, or withdrawal from, any Seller Continuing Credit Support Obligation or any cash or other collateral required to be posted in connection with or in the place of any Seller Continuing Credit Support Obligation and the carrying costs of any cash collateral, the fronting fee costs, and any other out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses resulting from a Seller Continuing Credit Support Obligation (“Assumed Credit Support Obligations”), shall be Assumed Liabilities hereunder.

demand or draw upon, or withdrawal from, any Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation or any cash or other collateral required to be posted in connection with or in the place of any Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation and the carrying costs of any cash collateral, the fronting fee costs, and any other out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses resulting from a Business Continuing Credit Support Obligation (“Retained Credit Support Obligations”), shall be Retained Liabilities hereunder.

    Transition Planning. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with the other and use its reasonable best efforts to prepare, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, for the separation of the Business from Seller and its affiliates on the Closing Date without the need for the provision of transition services by Seller. In the event that Purchaser reasonably determines that, notwithstanding compliance by each of Purchaser and Seller with the foregoing sentence, transition services from Seller to Purchaser in respect of the Business will be required in order to permit Purchaser to operate the Business on and after the Closing Date in all material respects as it is currently conducted, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith and enter into at Closing a transition services agreement reasonably acceptable to each of them providing for such transition services (the “Transition Services Agreement”). Such determination by Purchaser shall be made no later than five days after the date on which Seller notifies Purchaser, in writing, that it reasonably believes that the Closing will take place 20 days after the date of such notice.

    (i) the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as though made on the Closing Date, (ii) the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 4.15(a) shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as though made on the Closing Date in all material respects and (iii) all other representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct, disregarding all qualifications or limitations as to “materiality”, “Business Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import set forth therein, on and as of the date hereof and the Closing Date as though made on the Closing Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of such earlier date), and except, in the case of this clause (iii), for any failure to be true and correct that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect;

(b)
    Seller shall have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing Date;

(c)
    Purchaser shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of Seller by an executive officer of Seller certifying the satisfaction by Seller of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.03(a), 7.03(b) and 7.03(d);

(d)
    since the date hereof, there shall not have been any Effect that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect;

(e)
    Seller shall have executed and delivered to Purchaser each of the Ancillary Agreements to which Seller is a party;

(f)
    the Alberta Order shall have been obtained (and be in full force and effect) and shall not include any conditions that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on Purchaser’s ability to operate the Business after Closing as it relates to the Canadian Transferred Assets constituting Owned Real Property in substantially the manner as it is currently operated (provided, however, that in no event shall a condition requiring Purchaser to use such Owned Real Property substantially as it is currently used be deemed to cause such a material and adverse effect); and

(g)
    either (A) Purchaser and Seller shall have entered into the Transition Services Agreement or (B) Purchaser shall not have made a determination that a Transition Services Agreement is reasonably required in accordance with Section 6.20.

SECTION 7.04.
    Frustration of Closing Conditions. Neither Purchaser nor Seller may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VII to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to act in good faith or to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to occur, as required by Sections 6.03 and 6.04.

SECTION 8.01.
    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Acquisition and the other Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(e)
    by mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

(f)
    by either Seller or Purchaser:

(viii)
    if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the date that is 12 months after the date hereof (the “Outside Date”), unless the failure to consummate the Acquisition is the result of a material breach of any Transaction Document by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that either party may extend the Outside Date by three (3) months if, at the time of such extension, the only conditions in Article VII not capable of being satisfied are the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and the extending party is not at such time in material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligations under Sections 6.03 and 6.04;

(ix)
    if any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued a Judgment that permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Acquisition, and any such Judgment shall have become final and non-appealable; or

(x)
    if any Governmental Entity shall have enacted a Law that prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Acquisition; or

(g)
    by Seller, if Purchaser breaches or fails to perform in any respect of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in any Transaction Document, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b) and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to Purchaser of such breach, unless Seller is then in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Transaction Document; or

(h)
    by Purchaser, if Seller breaches or fails to perform in any respect of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in any Transaction Document, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.03(a) or 7.03(b) and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to Seller of such breach, unless Purchaser is then in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Transaction Document.

SECTION 8.02.
    Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated and the Transactions are abandoned as described in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except for Sections 6.02(g) and 6.02(h), Section 6.08, 6.09, Section 6.17(a)(ii), Section 6.17(c)(ii), this Section 8.02 and Article XI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from any liability or damages resulting from any breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

SECTION 8.03.
    Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

SECTION 8.04.
    Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing Date, the parties hereto may, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

SECTION 8.05.
    Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03 or an extension or waiver pursuant to Section 8.04 shall, in order to be effective, require in the case of any of the parties hereto, action by its Board of Directors or the duly authorized designee of its Board of Directors.

SECTION 9.01.
    Purchase Price Allocations. (%3)Allocation. Within 90 days following the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide to Seller (and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and provide such information as is reasonably requested by Purchaser to enable Purchaser to provide to Seller) the fair market value of (i) the Transferred Equity Interests, (ii) the Canadian Transferred Assets and (iii) the Transferred Intellectual Property, and shall allocate an amount of the Purchase Price (and any other items required to be treated as purchase price for Tax purposes) to each of the Transferred Equity Interests, the Canadian Transferred Assets and the Transferred Intellectual Property in an amount equal to such fair market value, and Seller and Purchaser shall attempt to mutually agree to such allocations; provided, however, that if Seller

and Purchaser are unable to agree on such allocation within 30 days following the date on which Purchaser provides the allocations to Seller, Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree on an independent appraisal firm (the “Appraisal Firm”) to determine the fair market value of the Transferred Equity Interests, the Canadian Transferred Assets and the Transferred Intellectual Property. The opinion of the Appraisal Firm shall be rendered within 150 days following the date of this Agreement and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties, which shall allocate an amount of Purchase Price (and any other items required to be treated as purchase price for Tax purposes) to each of the Transferred Equity Interests, the Canadian Transferred Assets and the Transferred Intellectual Property in an amount equal to their fair market value as determined by the Appraisal Firm (such amounts as are agreed by the parties or determined by the Appraisal Firm, the “Equity Allocation,” the “Canadian Allocation,” and the “Intellectual Property Allocation” respectively). No later than 45 days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide to Seller (and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and provide such information as is reasonably requested by Purchaser to enable Purchaser to provide to Seller) the fair market value of the Transferred Real Property. Seller shall have 10 days to review such allocation, and if Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree on such allocation, the fair market value of the Transferred Real Property shall be determined by the Appraisal Firm prior to the Closing Date (such amounts as are agreed by the parties or determined by the Appraisal Firm, the “Real Property Allocation,”). No later than 90 days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for the United States federal income Tax Return of Seller for the taxable period including the Closing Date (the “Return Date”), Purchaser shall propose an allocation (the “Asset Allocation”, and together with the Equity Allocation, the “Allocations”) of the Purchase Price (and any other items required to be treated as purchase price for Tax purposes), among the Transferred Assets and the assets of the Transferred Entity that are treated as acquired pursuant to Section 9.07, taking into account the Equity Allocation, the Canadian Allocation, the Intellectual Property Allocation and the Real Property Allocation. Seller shall have 10 days to review such proposed allocation and if Seller does not inform Purchaser in writing of any dispute within such period, such proposed allocation shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. In the event there is a dispute and Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve such dispute within 5 days, Seller and Purchaser shall refer such dispute to the Appraisal Firm, who shall only determine as to the matters in dispute. The conclusions of the Appraisal Firm shall be rendered no later than 10 days prior to the Return Date and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Seller and Purchaser shall adjust the Allocations from time to time as mutually agreed to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price hereunder (with any dispute to be resolved by the Appraisal Firm). All fees and expenses of the Appraisal Firm shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. The Acknowledged Canadian Obligations are not included in the Assumed Liabilities for the purposes of this Section 9.01; however, the Acknowledged Canadian Obligations are recognized and accounted for in the Purchase Price.

(h)
    The allocation described in Section 9.01(a) must comply with the requirements of Section 1060 of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder and any applicable local Laws. Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, agree that they shall and shall cause their respective affiliates to (i) cooperate in good faith in preparing Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, (ii) furnish a copy of such Form 8594 to the other in draft form within a reasonable period

of time prior to its filing due date, (iii) report the sale and purchase of the Transferred Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets for United States and all other applicable Tax purposes in accordance with such allocations and cooperate in complying with all Tax filings (including providing any supporting documentation in connection with such filings) required by the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets and the Transferred Equity Interests under applicable Laws and (iv) not take any position inconsistent with such allocations on any of their respective Tax Returns, in any refund claim, in any litigation or otherwise. The parties shall promptly inform one another of any challenge with respect to such allocations by any Governmental Entity, and agree to consult and keep one another informed with respect to the status of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.

SECTION 9.02.
    Transfer Taxes. (%3) Subject to Section 9.02(b), Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, agree to share equally all Transfer Taxes applicable to the conveyance and transfer from Seller to Purchaser (and any Purchaser Sub) of the Transferred Assets (excluding Transfer Taxes relating to the transfer of the Transferred Entity). Seller and its affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser and its affiliates, on the other hand, shall cooperate in making all filings, returns, reports and forms, as and when required, to comply with the provisions of any applicable tax Laws. Purchaser shall prepare and file any filings in respect of Transfer Taxes resulting from the transfer of the Transferred Entity. Seller and Purchaser and their respective affiliates shall cooperate in minimizing any Transfer Taxes.

(a)
    Upon the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Purchaser Sub to, and Seller shall cause Canadian Seller to, execute jointly an election under 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) so that no GST will be payable in connection with the transfer of the Canadian Transferred Assets. Purchaser shall file such election no later than the filing date for its GST return for the reporting period in which the sale of the Canadian Transferred Assets takes place. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller Indemnitee in respect of any GST, penalties, interest, or other amounts which may be assessed against any such Seller Indemnitee as a result of the transactions hereunder not being eligible for such election or as a result of Purchaser’s failure to file the election within the prescribed time.

(b)
    If any payment made by Seller, Canadian Seller or Purchaser as the result of a breach, modification or termination of this Agreement, or of any Transaction Document, is deemed by the Excise Tax Act (Canada) to include GST, or is deemed by any applicable provincial or territorial legislation to include a similar value added or multi-staged Tax, the amount of such payment shall be increased by the rate of any such tax deemed to be included in the payment.

SECTION 9.03.
    Straddle Period. Any Taxes (other than Taxes described in Section 9.02) imposed with respect to a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion beginning the day after the Closing Date in the following

manner: (i) in the case of a real property, property, intangibles or other similar ad valorem Tax (collectively, “Property Tax”) for a Straddle Period, the amount of such Tax allocable to each portion of the Straddle Period shall be the total amount of such Tax for the period in question multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in such portion of such Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes for a Straddle Period, such Taxes shall be allocated to each portion of the Straddle Period based on an interim closing of the books at the close of business on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, solely for purposes of allocating any Property Tax paid or payable in connection with any of the Transferred Assets pursuant to clause (i), (x) the Straddle Period shall be the tax period of the Taxing Authority for which such Property Tax is assessed which includes the Closing Date, (y) such tax period shall begin on the date the Lien for such Property Tax attaches to the relevant property (the “Lien Date”) and shall end on the day before the next succeeding Lien Date for such Property Tax and (z) the date of adoption or effectiveness of any state or local budget shall not constitute or otherwise affect the Lien Date for any such Property Tax. Solely for purposes of calculating prorations pursuant to clause (i), Purchaser shall be deemed to be in title to the Transferred Assets, and therefore entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses, for the entire day of the Closing Date.

SECTION 9.04.
    Preparation of Tax Returns. (%3)Seller Responsibility. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(a) and Section 9.04(c), Seller shall make all determinations with respect to and shall file (A) any Seller Group U.S. federal consolidated Tax Returns for all taxable periods, (B) any consolidated, combined or unitary state Tax Return for all taxable periods that includes Seller or one or more members of the Seller Group, (C) all other Tax Returns of the Transferred Entity, or related to the Business or the Transferred Assets, for any period ending on or before the Closing Date, and (D) any property Tax Returns relating to personal property with Lien Dates that occur prior to the Closing, provided that any Tax Returns described in clauses (C) and (D) shall be prepared in a manner not inconsistent with practices, accounting methods, elections and conventions used with respect to such Tax Returns for preceding Tax Periods.

(k)
    Purchaser Responsibility. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.04(c), Purchaser shall make all determinations with respect to and shall file (A) all Tax Returns of the Transferred Entity for any Straddle Period and any Post-Closing Tax Period and (B) any property Tax Returns relating to personal property with Lien Dates that occur after the Closing.

(l)
    Straddle Periods. To the extent Purchaser has responsibility for preparing and filing a Straddle Period Tax Return, it shall prepare such Tax Return in a manner not inconsistent with practices, accounting methods, elections and conventions used with respect to such Tax Returns for preceding Tax periods. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to make any Tax Returns and work papers in respect of a Straddle Period available for review by Seller sufficiently in advance of the due date for filing such Tax Returns to provide Seller with a meaningful opportunity to analyze, comment on and dispute such Tax Returns and for such Tax Returns to be modified, as reasonably requested by Seller before filing. In the event of any disagreement

between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, such disagreement shall be resolved by an accounting firm of international reputation mutually agreeable to Purchaser and Seller (the “Tax Accountant”), and any such determination by the Tax Accountant shall be final. The fees and expenses of the Tax Accountant shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. If the Tax Accountant does not resolve any differences between Purchaser and Seller with respect to such Tax Return at least five days prior to the due date therefor, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Purchaser and subsequently amended to reflect the Tax Accountant’s resolution.

SECTION 9.05.
    Tax Refunds. Seller and Purchaser shall be entitled to any refunds or credits relating to Taxes arising out of, relating to or in respect of the Transferred Assets or the Business as set forth in Article I. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Transferred Entity, or of any affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Transferred Entity is or has been a member, for any Taxes for which Seller is responsible under Section 10.03(a) shall be for the account of Seller. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Transferred Entity for any Taxes for which Purchaser is responsible under Section 10.03(b) shall be for the account of Purchaser.

(a)
    Each party shall forward, or cause to be forwarded, to the party entitled pursuant to this Section 9.05 to receive the amount or economic benefit of a refund or credit of Taxes the amount of such refund or credit within a reasonable amount of time after such refund is received or after such credit is allowed or applied against another Tax liability, as the case may be.

(b)
    If, subsequent to a Taxing Authority’s allowance of a refund or credit, such Taxing Authority reduces or eliminates such allowance, any refund or credit, plus any interest received thereon, forwarded or reimbursed under this Section 9.05 shall be returned to the party who had forwarded or reimbursed such refund or credit and interest, upon the request of such forwarding party, in an amount equal to the applicable reduction, including any interest received thereon.

SECTION 9.06.
    Carryforwards and Carrybacks. To the extent permitted by Law, Purchaser shall elect to forego a carryback of any net operating losses, capital losses, credits or other Tax benefits to a taxable period, or any portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date.

SECTION 9.07.
    Section 338 Election. Seller consents to Purchaser’s timely election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the Transferred Entity.

SECTION 9.08.
    Certificate of Non-Foreign Status. Seller and each affiliate that transfers assets to Purchaser and its affiliates on the Closing Date shall furnish to Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, duly executed and acknowledged, certifying such facts as would exempt the transactions

contemplated hereby from withholding pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

SECTION 9.09.
    Research and Development. Purchaser and Seller agree that adjustments to research and development expenses for the purposes of determining Tax credits for research and development activities shall be governed by Section 41(f)(3) of the Code. Pursuant to Section 41(f)(3)(B) of the Code, Seller shall furnish the Purchaser information as is necessary for the application of Section 41(f)(3)(A) of the Code.

SECTION 9.10.
    Section 22 Election. Purchaser shall, and Seller shall cause Canadian Seller to, elect jointly in the prescribed form under section 22 of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and the corresponding provisions of any other applicable Tax Law as to the sale of the accounts receivable and designate in such election an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the accounts receivable of the Business in Canada. This election, or these elections, shall be made within the time prescribed for such elections.

SECTION 9.11.
    Subsection 20(24) Election. Purchaser shall, and Seller shall cause Canadian Seller to, if applicable, jointly execute and file an election under subsection 20(24) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) in the manner required by subsection 20(25) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and under the equivalent or corresponding provisions of any other applicable provincial or territorial Law, in the prescribed forms and within the time period permitted under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and under any other applicable provincial or territorial Law, as to such amount paid by Canadian Seller to Purchaser for assuming future obligations. In this regard, Purchaser and Canadian Seller acknowledge that a portion of the Canadian Transferred Assets transferred by Canadian Seller pursuant to this Agreement and having a value equal to the amount elected under subsection 20(24) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the equivalent provisions of any applicable provincial or territorial Law, is being transferred by Canadian Seller as a payment for the assumption of such future obligations by Purchaser.

SECTION 9.12.
    Tax-Deferred Exchange. Seller acknowledges the rights of Purchaser, at its option, to structure any portion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to qualify as a tax-free exchange of like-kind property in compliance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Code (“Section 1031”). Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to reasonably cooperate to allow Purchaser to structure any portion of the transactions by this Agreement with respect to any of the Transferred Assets contemplated to effect a like-kind exchange in compliance with the provisions of Section 1031 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that neither Seller nor any member of the Seller Group shall have any increased obligations beyond the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, Purchaser may enter into a written exchange agreement or assignment agreement at any time prior to Closing with a “Qualified Intermediary” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iii)) or an “Exchange Accommodation Titleholder” (as described in

Revenue Procedure 2000-37) for the assignment of the rights of Purchaser under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Transferred Assets in whole or in part to such “Qualified Intermediary” or “Exchange Accommodation Titleholder” (in either event, an “Intermediary”). The Intermediary and the applicable Transferred Assets shall be designated in writing by Purchaser to Seller by no later than 45 days prior to the Closing Date, and Seller agrees to sign and deliver a written instrument (to be prepared by Purchaser) acknowledging the designation of the Intermediary and the assignment of the right, title and interest of Purchaser with respect to such designated Transferred Assets in whole or in part to the Intermediary. Upon designation of the Intermediary by Purchaser, and upon the Intermediary’s written assumption of the obligations of Purchaser hereunder, the Intermediary shall be substituted for Purchaser as the purchaser under this Agreement with respect to only such designated Transferred Assets. Seller agrees in such case to transfer title to such designated Transferred Assets to the Intermediary, and to render Seller’s performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to such designated Transferred Assets to the Intermediary; provided that all Ancillary Agreements, including the Asset Conveyance Documents, shall be in the forms agreed to by Seller and Purchaser and shall otherwise be in the forms required by the terms of this Agreement. No later than 45 days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser (at its sole expense) will provide Seller with its determination of the purchase price for such designated Transferred Assets for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Section 9.12 (and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and provide such information as is reasonably requested by Purchaser in preparing such determination). Seller shall have 10 days to review such purchase price. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to agree on such purchase price prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall not have the right to delay, and Purchaser shall not delay, the Closing as a result of any like-kind exchange aspects of the transaction. If Purchaser is unsuccessful in its efforts to structure any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as part of a like-kind exchange, such occurrence shall not be deemed or construed as the failure of a condition precedent to the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement and in such case, Closing shall proceed as if this Section 9.12 were not included in this Agreement. In the event Purchaser designates a party or entity to serve as an Intermediary, Purchaser shall unconditionally guarantee the full and timely performance by the Intermediary of each and every one of the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, obligations and undertakings of the Intermediary (as the successor Purchaser, hereunder, by assignment) pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. As such guarantor, Purchaser shall be treated as a primary obligor with respect to such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, obligations and undertakings (as the case may be), and, in the event of a breach by the Intermediary under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, Seller may proceed directly against Purchaser on the guarantee without the need to join the Intermediary as a party to the action. Purchaser unconditionally waives any defense that it might have as guarantor that it would not have if it had made or undertaken these representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, obligations and undertakings (as the case may be) directly.

SECTION 10.01.
    Indemnification by Seller. (%3) From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and each of its affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages (including, in the case of Third Party Claims, any exemplary or punitive damages whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Law or otherwise), liabilities, obligations, expenses or other charges (including reasonable expenses of investigation, enforcement and collection and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses associated therewith) (collectively, “Losses”), to the extent arising or resulting from any of the following:

(i)
    any Retained Liability;

(ii)
    (A) any breach of Section 5.01, (B) any breach of Section 6.18(a)(i) or (C) any breach of any other covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement;

(iii)
    any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Seller contained in this Agreement;

(iv)
    any Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities;

(v)
    any Liabilities (including any third party claims) imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnitees to the extent arising out of or relating to the Seller Business or the assets of the Seller Business, whether occurring, arising, existing or asserted before, on or after the Closing Date (other than any Assumed Liabilities);

(vi)
    any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by Seller or any other member of the Seller Group to any agent, broker, investment banker or other firm or Person retained or employed by it in connection with the Transactions; and

(vii)
    any exercise of that right of first refusal by the Lowndes County Development Authority in connection with the Transactions under that certain Amended Restrictive and Protective Covenants established by the Lowndes County Development Authority for Golden Triangle Industrial Park, dated October 21, 1999.

(c)
    Seller’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01(a) are subject to the following limitations:

(ii)
    The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 10.01(a)(ii)(A), Section 10.01(a)(iii) (except with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the Seller Fundamental Representations) or Section 10.01(a)(iv) on any individual claim unless the Losses associated with such claim exceed $100,000, and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of clause (ii) of this Section 10.01(b).

(iii)
    The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 10.01(a)(ii)(A), Section 10.01(a)(iii) (except with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the Seller Fundamental Representations) or Section 10.01(a)(iv) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses exceeds on a cumulative basis $36,000,000, and then only to the extent of such excess.

(iv)
    The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 10.01(a)(ii)(A), Section 10.01(a)(iii) (except with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the Seller Fundamental Representations) or Section 10.01(a)(iv) for an aggregate amount of Losses in excess of $366,000,000.

(iv)     The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 10.01(a)(ii)(B) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses exceeds on a cumulative basis $2,000,000, and then only to the extent of such excess.

(d)
    The indemnification obligations of Seller provided for in Section 10.01(a)(ii), Section 10.01(a)(iii) and Section 10.01(a)(iv) shall terminate as set forth in Section 11.01. The indemnification obligations of Seller provided for in Sections 10.01(a)(i), 10.01(a)(v), 10.01(a)(vi) and 10.01(a)(vii) shall survive indefinitely.

(e)
    This Section 10.01 does not apply to any indemnification related to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 10.03, other than indemnification with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Seller to Purchaser under Section 4.06, which are the subject of Section 10.01(a)(iii).

SECTION 10.02.
    Indemnification by Purchaser. (%3) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, each member of the Seller Group and each of their affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses, to the extent arising or resulting from any of the following:

(viii)
    any Assumed Liability (except to the extent Seller is required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against such Liability pursuant to Section 10.01(a));

(ix)
    any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement;

(x)
    any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and

(xi)
    any Liabilities (including any third party claims) imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnitees to the extent arising out of or relating to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred Entity or the operation or conduct of the Business, except to the extent Seller is required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against such Liabilities pursuant to Section 10.01(a).

(b)
    Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02(a) are subject to the following limitations:

(v)
    The Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 10.02(a)(iii) (except with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of Purchaser Fundamental Representations) on any individual claim unless Losses associated with such claim exceed $100,000, and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of clause (ii) of this Section 10.02(b);

(vi)
    The Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 10.02(a)(iii) (except with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of Purchaser Fundamental Representations) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses exceeds on a cumulative basis $36,000,000, and then only to the extent of such excess; and

(vii)

SECTION 10.04.
    Indemnification Procedures. (%3)Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Third Party Claims. If any party (the “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any Action or the assertion of any claim by a third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment for which indemnity may be sought under Section 10.01 or 10.02 (a “Third Party Claim”), and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party will have 30 days from receipt of any such notice of a Third Party Claim to give notice to assume the defense thereof. If notice to the effect set forth in the immediately preceding sentence is given by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the

Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 30 days of receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted will have the right to assume and control the defense thereof without prejudice to the ability of the Indemnified Party to enforce its claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article X; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall actively pursue such defense in good faith, (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (except as contemplated by the following sentence) and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall not (A) admit to any wrongdoing or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement (1) provides for (x) relief other than money damages or (y) money damages if the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in writing that it shall be solely responsible for such money damages, or (2) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an irrevocable release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.04, if the Indemnified Party in good faith determines that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and control the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and control the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses from Third Party Claims and shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The parties shall also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information and records relevant thereto.

(c)
    Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Third Party Tax Claims. Notwithstanding Section 10.04(a), (i) if Purchaser or any of its affiliates receives notice of any Tax audit, examination or assessment (a “Tax Claim”) with respect to any Tax for which Seller may be responsible under Section 10.03, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller, (ii) if Seller or any of its affiliates receives notice of any Tax Claim that could give rise to Taxes of the Transferred Entity or with respect to the Transferred Assets or the Business, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and (iii) if a Tax Claim includes, or could reasonably be expected to include, any claim for Taxes relating solely to a Straddle Period, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly control all proceedings

taken in connection with such claim; provided, however, (1) if a Tax Claim relates to the U.S. Federal Income Taxes or state Income Taxes of Seller or any member of the Seller Group (other than Weyerhaeuser Poland) (such Tax Claim, an “Income Tax Claim”), Seller shall control fully all proceedings in connection with any such Income Tax Claim and shall have complete authority and discretion to settle any such Income Tax Claim without the consent of Purchaser and (2) the party responsible for preparing a property Tax Return under Section 9.04 shall control all proceedings in connection with any Tax Claims relating to such property Tax Return. Seller shall not settle or compromise any such audit, examination or proceeding with respect to any Tax Claim that it controls pursuant to this Agreement (other than an audit, examination or proceeding with respect to an Income Tax Claim) without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to the extent such settlement or compromise could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Purchaser or its affiliates.

(d)
    Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing promptly of its discovery of any matter that does not involve a Third Party Claim giving rise to the claim of indemnity pursuant hereto. The failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from receipt of any such notice to give notice of dispute of the claim to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

(e)
    Environmental Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Losses arising from Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities or with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.11 (Environmental Matters): (a) Seller shall have satisfied its obligations with respect to any remedial action to the extent such remedial action is conducted to standards applicable to industrial properties, including the use of risk-based cleanup standards, natural attenuation, and deed restrictions so long as such use is not prohibited by the Governmental Entity overseeing such remedial action and (b) Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitees for any such Losses (i) except to the extent such Losses are required to comply with Environmental Law in force and in effect on the Closing Date; (ii) to the extent Purchaser Indemnitees exacerbate any such Losses after the Closing Date (excluding exacerbation arising from post-Closing activities by Purchaser Indemnitees that conform to pre-Closing activities by Seller in connection with the Business as a result of which any representation or warranty in Section 4.11 was inaccurate, until such time as Purchaser Indemnitees know such activities caused such representation or warranty to be inaccurate); (iii) that result or arise from any exposure or alleged exposure to any Hazardous Materials emitted or discharged in connection

with the operations of the Business or the Transferred Real Property prior to the Closing Date in compliance with Environmental Laws or applicable Environmental Permits; (iv) resulting or arising from any investigation, removal or remediation of any presence or Release of Hazardous Materials except to the extent such presence or Release existed at concentrations in soil, groundwater or other environmental media on the Closing Date such that the failure to remove or remediate such presence or Release, if known on the Closing Date, would have constituted a violation of or non-compliance with Environmental Law in force and in effect on the Closing Date; and (v) to the extent such Losses arise or result from any exposure or alleged exposure to, or any maintenance, repair, removal or disposal of, asbestos or asbestos-containing materials, other than any maintenance, repair, removal or disposal of asbestos or asbestos-containing materials required as of the Closing Date under any Environmental Law in force and effect on the Closing Date.

SECTION 10.05.
    Indemnification as Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The parties acknowledge and agree that, should the Closing occur, each party’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for monetary relief relating to Article I, the Business, the Transferred Equity Interests, the Transferred Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Retained Liabilities or any representation, warranty or covenant of the other party contained in this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X; provided, however, that (i) nothing herein (including Section 11.01) shall limit in any way either party’s monetary remedies in respect of fraudulent breach of this Agreement by the other party and (ii) should the Closing occur, no party shall have, and all parties shall be deemed to have waived, any rescission rights with respect to this Agreement, the Acquisition or the other transactions contemplated hereby. In furtherance of the foregoing and subject to the indemnification provision set forth in this Article X and the proviso contained in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for monetary relief Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnitee may have against Seller or any of its affiliates, or their respective directors, officers and employees arising under or based upon any Law (including with respect to environmental matters generally and any matters under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or similar state or provincial law). This Section 10.05 will not apply to any breach of any Ancillary Agreement, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither party nor any other person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article X for any breach of any Ancillary Agreement.

SECTION 10.06.
    Calculation of Indemnity Payments. (%3) If any Losses are covered under any insurance policy maintained and paid for by the Indemnified Party prior to the Closing, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue a claim or claims under the applicable insurance policy or policies. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under such insurance policies with respect to such Loss.

(g)
    An Indemnifying Party is authorized, in connection with payment of any Loss for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Party under this Article X, to set off and apply any and all payments due to such Indemnifying Party under Section 2.03 or this Article X against any of and all of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party under this Article X. The rights of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 10.06(b) are in addition (but without duplication) to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Indemnifying Party may have.

(h)
    The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be (A) increased to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder, grossed up for such increase (provided that the parties shall reasonably cooperate to minimize any such cost) and (B) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of such Loss.

(i)
    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no indemnification may be claimed under this Article X for any Losses to the extent such Losses are included in the calculation of any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Article II, including in the case of indemnification by Seller to the extent such Losses are included as “Current Liabilities” or in the “Debt Amount” on the Statement and (ii) the amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be, in the case of Purchaser, net of any amounts actually received by Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.16 with respect to such Loss.

(j)
    In the case of indemnification by Seller for any Losses that are recorded as a reserve on the Balance Sheet, the amount of recoverable Losses shall not be limited to the amount of such reserve.

SECTION 10.07.
    Additional Matters. (%3) For all Tax purposes, Purchaser and Seller agree to treat any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of an IRS Form 870-AD or successor form) provides otherwise.

(a)
    For purposes of this Article X only, any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (other than any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.01(a), 4.03, 4.04(a), 4.04(b) or 4.05, the first sentence of Section 4.09, the first sentence of Section 4.12(a), the first sentence of Section 4.12(b), the first sentence of Section 4.12(d), the first sentence of Section 4.13(a), the definition of “Business Material Agreements” in Section 4.14, Section 4.15(b)(ii) and Section 4.16), and any determination of damages resulting therefrom, shall be determined without regard to any materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

(b)
    In no event shall an Indemnified Party be able to recover from an Indemnifying Party punitive or exemplary damages or any consequential or indirect damages that are not reasonably foreseeable (or actually foreseen by the Indemnifying Party), in each case, except if and to the extent any such damages are recovered by a third party against such Indemnified Party.

(c)
    If, prior to the Closing, (i) (A) either party notifies the other party of any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the party giving such notice contained in this Agreement or (B) Seller notifies Purchaser of any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in Section 5.01, (ii) such notice contains a clear and specific description of such inaccuracy or breach, (iii) such notice states that the effect of such inaccuracy or breach is a failure of a condition to the obligations of the party receiving such notice to effect the Acquisition as set forth in Article VII, and such statement is correct as a matter of applicable Law, and (iv) the party receiving such notice proceeds with the Closing, then the party receiving such notice shall be deemed to have waived such inaccuracy of representation or warranty or breach of covenant or agreement of the party giving such notice, and the party receiving such notice and its successors, assigns and affiliates shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or to sue for damages or to assert any other right or remedy, for any Losses arising from any matters relating to such inaccuracy or breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the party receiving such notice disputes that the statement described in clause (iii) above contained in such notice is correct as a matter of applicable Law, the Closing shall not occur until the parties have finally resolved such dispute.

(d)
    Except as provided in Section 10.07(d), the representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

(e)
    All obligations of Seller or Purchaser under Section 10.03 to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser Indemnitee and Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, for any Losses arising or resulting from any Tax liability shall terminate at the expiration of the statute of limitations, including any applicable extensions or waivers thereof.

SECTION 10.08.
    Environmental Access, Control and Cooperation. With respect to any claim for indemnification by Purchaser Indemnitees for any Pre-Closing Environmental Liability or any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.11 (“Environmental Indemnity Claims”):

(a)
    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, (i) Seller shall have the right to assume

the control and/or performance of, and shall have the right to make all final decisions with respect to, any investigation, cleanup or other corrective or responsive action (“Responsive Action”) relating to any Environmental Indemnity Claim to the extent Seller’s obligation under Section 10.01(a)(ii)(A), Section 10.01(a)(iii) (except with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the Seller Fundamental Representations) or Section 10.01(a)(iv) exceeds or has exceeded on a cumulative basis $36,000,000; provided, however, that, with respect to any Responsive Action controlled and/or performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent reasonably practicable from an economic and engineering standpoint, Seller shall not conduct or agree to conduct any Responsive Action in a manner that unreasonably interferes with the operations of the Business at any relevant Transferred Real Property; and (ii) Purchaser shall provide Seller, at reasonable times and after reasonable notice, access to the Transferred Real Property and Business records and employees in connection with any such control and/or performance by Seller.

(b)
    The Party that controls and/or performs any Responsive Action relating to any Environmental Indemnity Claim under this Agreement (the “Controlling Party”) shall (i) reasonably consult with the other Party (the “Non-Controlling Party”) regarding any such Responsive Action, including the selection of any environmental consultants and the selection of, and development of any scope of work for, any Responsive Action; (ii) provide the Non-Controlling Party with an opportunity to review and comment on any submission to any Governmental Entity reasonably in advance of such submission and shall consider such comments in good faith; and (iii) provide the Non-Controlling Party with an opportunity to (A) attend any meetings with any Governmental Entity; (B) review any documents or records relating to such Responsive Action in the Controlling Party’s control that the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably request; and (C) monitor the performance of such Responsive Action and, in the case of any intrusive investigation or cleanup, and at Non-Controlling Party’s reasonable request and expense, take split samples; provided, however, that, if Purchaser is the Controlling Party, with respect to any such Environmental Indemnity Claim that could reasonably be expected to result in Loss such that Seller’s obligation under Section 10.01(a)(ii)(A), Section 10.01(a)(iii) (except with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the Seller Fundamental Representations) or Section 10.01(a)(iv) would exceed on a cumulative basis $36,000,000, Purchaser shall not, except as required by Law, conduct, agree to, or enter any settlement or order or make any reporting to any Governmental Entity with respect to any Responsive Action (including the selection of consultants, development and selection of a scope of work, any submissions to any Governmental Entity) without the prior written consent of the Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c)
    Any Responsive Action taken in connection with any Environmental Indemnity Claim shall be conducted in a workmanlike manner, using commercially reasonable and cost effective practices, standards and methods from an engineering standpoint.

SECTION 11.01.
    Survival of Representations and Warranties and Agreements.

(e)
    The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (other than the Ancillary Agreements) shall survive the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, except that (i) the Purchaser Fundamental Representations and the Seller Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by Law, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.11 shall survive until the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.06 and Section 4.07 shall survive the Closing until 60 days following the expiration of all relevant statutes of limitations (giving effect to any extensions or waivers thereof). The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the shorter period explicitly specified therein, provided, however, that none of the agreements or covenants set forth in Sections 5.02, 6.03 or 6.04, or any claim with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing Date, and all parties shall be released from all obligations and Liabilities with respect thereto, including with respect to any breach thereof, effective as of the Closing. No claim for indemnification may be brought with respect to a breach of Section 5.01 or Section 6.18 after the first anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, any breach or inaccuracy of representation or warranty or breach of covenant or agreement, in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentences, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnification shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnification may be sought prior to such time.

(f)
    Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Purchaser Indemnitees under Section 10.01(a)(iv) for Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities unless Seller is provided notice asserting a claim for indemnification for such Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Such obligation shall not terminate with respect to the Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities as to which Purchaser Indemnitees provides such notice prior to such time.
