or at such other place, time and date as may be agreed in writing between Weyerhaeuser and Plum Creek; provided, however, that if all the conditions set forth in Article VII have not been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by Law) waived by such second Business Day, then the Closing shall take place on the second Business Day after which all such conditions have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by Law) waived. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

SECTION 1.03. Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall (i) file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed and acknowledged in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, (ii) file with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington articles of merger relating to the Merger (the “Articles of Merger”), executed and acknowledged in accordance with the relevant provisions of the WBCA, and (iii) make all other filings required under the DGCL and the WBCA or by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or the Secretary of State of the State of Washington in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time that the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Articles of Merger have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington, or at such later time as Weyerhaeuser and Plum Creek shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger and the Articles of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

The bylaws of Weyerhaeuser, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

SECTION 1.06. Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation. The directors and executive officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit A.

ARTICLE II

Effect on the Capital Stock of the Constituent Entities; Exchange of Certificates

SECTION 2.01. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Weyerhaeuser, Plum Creek or any holder of any of the following securities:

(a) Cancelation of Treasury Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Plum Creek (“Plum Creek Common Stock”) that is owned by Plum Creek as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Plum Creek Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.02, each share of Plum Creek Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(a)) shall be converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive that number of fully paid and nonassessable common shares, par value $1.25 per share, of Weyerhaeuser (the “Weyerhaeuser Common Shares”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”). All such shares of Plum Creek Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Plum Creek Common Stock (each such certificate, a “Certificate”) or shares of Plum Creek Common Stock held in direct registration form (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Weyerhaeuser Common Shares to be issued or paid in consideration therefor and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled in accordance with Section 2.02, in each case, without interest. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Exchange Ratio” means 1.60. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding Weyerhaeuser Common Shares or shares of Plum Creek Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination, consolidation, subdivision, reclassification or exchange of shares, or any similar event (including any stock dividend for the purpose of distributing earnings so as to maintain qualification as a REIT or to cure any issue of qualification as a REIT) shall have occurred, then any number or amount contained herein that is based upon the number of Weyerhaeuser Common Shares or shares of Plum Creek Common Stock, as the case may be, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to Weyerhaeuser and the holders of Plum Creek Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit Weyerhaeuser or Plum Creek to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), as applicable.

SECTION 2.02. Exchange. (a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Weyerhaeuser shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Plum Creek to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Weyerhaeuser shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the former holders of Plum Creek Common Stock entitled to receive Merger Consideration under Section 2.01(b), for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, a sufficient number of Weyerhaeuser Common Shares (whether represented in certificated or non-certificated direct registration form) to issue the aggregate Merger Consideration. From time to time as needed as reasonably determined by Weyerhaeuser, Weyerhaeuser shall deposit with the Exchange Agent cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and to pay any dividends or other distributions which former holders of Plum Creek Common Stock have the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(d). All such cash and Weyerhaeuser Common Shares deposited with the Exchange Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.

(b) Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event not later than the second Business Day thereafter, Weyerhaeuser shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Plum Creek Common Stock a form of letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Weyerhaeuser may specify subject to Plum Creek’s reasonable approval, together with instructions thereto.

(c) Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange. (i) After the Effective Time, upon the surrender of a Certificate for cancelation to the Exchange Agent, together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Plum Creek Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(d). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Plum Creek Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Plum Creek, the proper number of Weyerhaeuser Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.01 and cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and in respect

of any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(d) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate (or, for Book-Entry Shares, proper evidence of such transfer) representing such Plum Creek Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration which the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares were entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.01 (and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(d)). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable under this Section 2.02(c) or under Section 2.02(d), 2.02(e) or 2.02(f).

(ii) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to each former holder of Book-Entry Shares (A) the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Plum Creek Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(f). The Weyerhaeuser Common Shares deliverable to any holder under this Section 2.02(c)(ii) shall be deemed issued to such holder on the Closing Date.

(d) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Weyerhaeuser Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the Weyerhaeuser Common Shares issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.02(f), until the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Article II. Subject to abandoned property, escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, there shall be paid to the holder of the Weyerhaeuser Common Shares issued in exchange therefor (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional Weyerhaeuser Common Share to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid with respect to such whole shares of Weyerhaeuser Common Shares and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Weyerhaeuser Common Shares.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Plum Creek Common Stock. The Weyerhaeuser Common Shares issued and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Plum Creek Common Stock (including

any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.02(f)) shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Plum Creek Common Stock, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by Plum Creek on such shares of Plum Creek Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Plum Creek Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(h), if, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented for transfer to the Surviving Corporation, Weyerhaeuser or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Weyerhaeuser Common Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of Plum Creek Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a holder of Weyerhaeuser Common Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Plum Creek Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Weyerhaeuser Common Share (after taking into account all Certificates or Book-Entry Shares surrendered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the average of the volume weighted average price per share of Weyerhaeuser Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. or, if not reported by Bloomberg, L.P., in another authoritative source mutually selected by Weyerhaeuser and Plum Creek) on each of the five consecutive trading days ending with the last complete trading day prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest or other amounts received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Plum Creek Common Stock for 12 months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Weyerhaeuser, upon demand, and any former holder of Plum Creek Common Stock who has not previously complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Weyerhaeuser for, and Weyerhaeuser shall remain liable for, payment of its claim for Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(h) No Liability. None of Weyerhaeuser, Plum Creek or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been

surrendered or transferred prior to the date on which any Merger Consideration in respect thereof would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity pursuant to applicable Law, any Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Weyerhaeuser, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Weyerhaeuser. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Weyerhaeuser; provided, however, that no investment of the Exchange Fund shall relieve Weyerhaeuser or the Exchange Agent from promptly making the payments required by this Article II, and following any losses from any such investment, Weyerhaeuser shall promptly provide additional cash funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Plum Creek Common Stock at the Effective Time in the amount of such losses, which additional funds will be deemed to be part of the Exchange Fund.

(j) Withholding Rights. Each of Weyerhaeuser and the Exchange Agent (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Article II or Section 6.04 to any holder of Plum Creek Common Stock, Plum Creek Stock Options, Plum Creek Restricted Stock Units, Plum Creek Deferred Stock Units or Plum Creek Value Management Awards such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. Amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Plum Creek Common Stock in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(k) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Weyerhaeuser, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as Weyerhaeuser may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Exchange Fund and subject to Section 2.02(h), Weyerhaeuser) shall deliver and pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any other cash deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 2.02.

ARTICLE III

Weyerhaeuser represents and warrants to Plum Creek that the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct, except (i) as set forth in the Weyerhaeuser Reporting Documents publicly available and filed with or furnished to the SEC after January 1, 2014 and at least two Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Filed Weyerhaeuser Reporting Documents”) (excluding (x) any exhibits to the Filed Weyerhaeuser Reporting Documents and (y) any disclosures in the Filed Weyerhaeuser Reporting Documents (A) in any risk factors section, (B) in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section and (C) in any other disclosures that are similarly predictive or forward-looking in nature) or (ii) as set forth in the disclosure letter delivered by Weyerhaeuser to Plum Creek prior to the execution and delivery by Weyerhaeuser of this Agreement (the “Weyerhaeuser Disclosure Letter”). The Weyerhaeuser Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in numbered and lettered sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained in this Article III, and the disclosure in any section shall be deemed to qualify other sections in this Article III to the extent (and only to the extent) that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to such other sections.

SECTION 3.01. Organization, Standing and Power. (a) Each of Weyerhaeuser and each of Weyerhaeuser’s Subsidiaries (the “Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries”) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized (in the case of good standing, to the extent such jurisdiction recognizes such concept), except, in the case of the Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries, where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Weyerhaeuser Material Adverse Effect. Each of Weyerhaeuser and each Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the ownership, operation or leasing of its properties and assets makes such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Weyerhaeuser Material Adverse Effect. Weyerhaeuser has made available to Plum Creek, prior to execution of this Agreement, true and complete copies of the articles of incorporation of Weyerhaeuser in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Weyerhaeuser Charter”) and the bylaws of Weyerhaeuser in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Weyerhaeuser By-laws”).

(b) Weyerhaeuser has not exempted any “Person” from the “Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit”, as such terms are defined in the Weyerhaeuser Charter.

SECTION 3.02. Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries. (a) All the outstanding shares of capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, each Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are wholly owned by Weyerhaeuser, by another Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary or by Weyerhaeuser and another Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary, free and clear of all pledges, liens, claims, charges, mortgages, encumbrances and security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Liens”), and free of any other restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock, voting securities or other equity interests), except for restrictions imposed by applicable securities Laws. Section 3.02(a) of the Weyerhaeuser Disclosure Letter sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, a true and complete list of the Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries, including a list of each Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary that is a “qualified REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code (a “Qualified REIT Subsidiary”) or a “taxable REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code (a “Taxable REIT Subsidiary”), together with (i) the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, as the case may be, of each Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary, (ii) the type of and percentage of interest held (including capital account balances for any entity treated as a partnership for income tax purposes from the most recently filed relevant Tax Return), directly or indirectly, by Weyerhaeuser in each Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary, (iii) the names of and the type of and percentage of interest held (including capital account balances for any entity treated as a partnership for income tax purposes from the most recently filed relevant Tax Return) by any Person other than Weyerhaeuser or a Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary in each Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary and (iv) the classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes of each Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary.

(b) Except for the capital stock and voting securities of, and other equity interests in, the Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries, neither Weyerhaeuser nor any Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, any firm, corporation, partnership, company, limited liability company, trust, joint venture, association or other entity other than ordinary course investments in publicly traded securities constituting one percent or less of a class of outstanding securities of any entity.

SECTION 3.03. Capital Structure. (a) The authorized capital stock of Weyerhaeuser consists of 1,360,000,000 Weyerhaeuser Common Shares, 7,000,000 preferred shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Weyerhaeuser Preferred Shares”), and 40,000,000 preference shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Weyerhaeuser Preference Shares” and, together with the Weyerhaeuser Common Shares and the Weyerhaeuser Preferred Shares, the “Weyerhaeuser Capital Stock”). At the close of business on November 4, 2015, (i) 510,445,006 Weyerhaeuser Common Shares were issued and outstanding, none of which were subject to vesting or other forfeiture conditions or

repurchase by Weyerhaeuser, (ii) no Weyerhaeuser Common Shares were held in Weyerhaeuser’s treasury, (iii) no Weyerhaeuser Preferred Shares were issued and outstanding, (iv) 13,799,711 Weyerhaeuser Preference Shares of 6.375% Mandatory Convertible Preference Shares, Series A (the “Weyerhaeuser 6.375% Mandatory Convertible Preference Shares”) were issued and outstanding, (v) 20,720,285 Weyerhaeuser Common Shares were reserved and available for issuance upon conversion of outstanding Weyerhaeuser Preference Shares, (vi) no Weyerhaeuser Common Shares were reserved and available for issuance pursuant to the Weyerhaeuser’s Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “Weyerhaeuser Direct Share Purchase Plan”) and (vii) 15,021,183 Weyerhaeuser Common Shares were reserved and available for issuance pursuant to the Weyerhaeuser Stock Plans, of which (A) 12,922,116 shares were issuable upon exercise of outstanding Weyerhaeuser Stock Options, (B) 1,220,599 shares were issuable upon settlement of outstanding Weyerhaeuser Restricted Stock Units, (C) 159,111 shares were issuable upon settlement of outstanding Weyerhaeuser Deferred Stock Units and (D) 719,357 shares were issuable upon settlement of outstanding Weyerhaeuser Performance Share Units.

existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any such Person or its Representatives and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, Weyerhaeuser shall not, nor shall it authorize any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, officers or employees or any of their respective investment bankers, accountants, attorneys or other advisors, agents or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, (i) directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or facilitate any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal or (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any information with respect to, or cooperate in any way with any Person who is seeking to make or has made a Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal with respect to any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Weyerhaeuser Shareholder Approval, in response to a bona fide written Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal that the Weyerhaeuser Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Weyerhaeuser Proposal, and which Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and did not otherwise result from a material breach of the non-solicitation provisions of this Section 5.02(a), Weyerhaeuser may (and may authorize the Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to), subject to compliance with Section 5.02(c), (x) furnish information with respect to Weyerhaeuser and the Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries to the Person making such Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) (provided that all such information has previously been provided to Plum Creek or is provided to Plum Creek prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such Person) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement shall not be required to contain standstill provisions (a “Weyerhaeuser Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and (y) participate in discussions regarding the terms of such Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal and the negotiation of such terms with, and only with, the Person making such Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal (and such Person’s Representatives). Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of, or the taking of any action inconsistent with, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.02(a) by (x) any controlled Affiliate of Weyerhaeuser or (y) any other Affiliates of Weyerhaeuser or any of its or their Representatives which violation or action was known or should have been known by Weyerhaeuser, in each case shall constitute a breach of this Section 5.02(a) by Weyerhaeuser.

(b) Except as set forth below, neither the Weyerhaeuser Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in any manner adverse to Plum Creek), or propose publicly to withdraw (or modify in any manner adverse to Plum Creek), the Weyerhaeuser Recommendation or (B) adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal (any action in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Weyerhaeuser Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow Weyerhaeuser or any of its Affiliates to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, alliance agreement, partnership agreement or other similar or comparable Contract (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”) (other than a Weyerhaeuser Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) constituting or relating to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal, or requiring, or reasonably expected to cause, Weyerhaeuser to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of, or be inconsistent with, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or requiring, or reasonably expected to cause, Weyerhaeuser to fail to comply with this Agreement in any material respect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Weyerhaeuser Shareholder Approval, the Weyerhaeuser Board may make a Weyerhaeuser Adverse Recommendation Change if Weyerhaeuser receives a Superior Weyerhaeuser Proposal or the Weyerhaeuser Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that Weyerhaeuser shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Weyerhaeuser Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with a Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal or a Superior Weyerhaeuser Proposal until after the fifth Business Day following Plum Creek’s receipt of written notice (a “Weyerhaeuser Notice of Recommendation Change”) from Weyerhaeuser advising Plum Creek that the Weyerhaeuser Board intends to take such action, including the terms and conditions of any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal or Superior Weyerhaeuser Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Weyerhaeuser Board (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal or Superior Weyerhaeuser Proposal shall require a new Weyerhaeuser Notice of Recommendation Change, except that references to the five Business Day period above shall be deemed to be references to a three Business Day period). In determining whether to make a Weyerhaeuser Adverse Recommendation Change, the Weyerhaeuser Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Plum Creek in response to a Weyerhaeuser Notice of Recommendation Change or otherwise.

(c) In addition to the obligations of Weyerhaeuser set forth in Sections 5.02(a) and 5.02(b), Weyerhaeuser shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day of receipt thereof by Weyerhaeuser) advise Plum Creek in writing of any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal. Weyerhaeuser shall (i) keep Plum Creek informed in all material respects of the status and details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal and (ii) provide to Plum Creek as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all written and electronic materials that describe any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal and any material amendments thereto exchanged between Weyerhaeuser or any of the Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives and any Person who describes any of the terms or conditions of any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.02 shall prohibit Weyerhaeuser from (i) complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or issuing a “stop-look-and-listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the shareholders of Weyerhaeuser if, in the good faith judgment of the Weyerhaeuser Board (after consultation with outside counsel) failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall Weyerhaeuser or the Weyerhaeuser Board or any committee thereof take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 5.02(b) and (y) that any such disclosure pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) that relates to a Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be a Weyerhaeuser Adverse Recommendation Change unless (1) the Weyerhaeuser Board expressly reaffirms the Weyerhaeuser Recommendation in such disclosure or (2) such disclosure is a “stop-look-and-listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement:

“Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal” means any proposal or offer (whether or not in writing) made by any Person or Persons other than Plum Creek or any of its Affiliates, with respect to any (i) merger, amalgamation, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination, recapitalization or similar transaction involving Weyerhaeuser or any Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary, (ii) sale, lease, contribution or other disposition, directly or indirectly (including by way of merger, amalgamation, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination, recapitalization, partnership, joint venture, sale of capital stock or

voting securities of, or other equity interests in, a Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary or otherwise) of any business or assets of Weyerhaeuser or the Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries representing 15% or more of the consolidated revenues, consolidated net income or consolidated assets of Weyerhaeuser or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or representing 15% or more of the total outstanding voting power of Weyerhaeuser, (iii) transaction in which any Person (or the stockholders of any Person) shall acquire, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership, or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, or formation of any group which beneficially owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, 15% or more of the total outstanding voting power of Weyerhaeuser or (iv) combination of the foregoing (in each case, other than the Merger). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this definition, the Granite Sale, and any proposal or offer relating thereto, shall not constitute a Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal.

“Superior Weyerhaeuser Proposal” means any binding bona fide written offer that did not result from a material breach of the non-solicitation provisions of Section 5.02(a) made by a third party or group pursuant to which such third party (or in a merger or consolidation involving such party, the stockholders of such third party) or group would acquire, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Weyerhaeuser Common Shares or all or substantially all of the assets of Weyerhaeuser and the Weyerhaeuser Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (i) on terms which the Weyerhaeuser Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of Weyerhaeuser Common Shares than the Merger, taking into account all the material terms and conditions of such offer (including the material legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal) and this Agreement (including any changes proposed by Plum Creek to the terms of this Agreement) and (ii) that is otherwise reasonably capable of being consummated on the terms proposed taking into account all material legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.

SECTION 5.03. No Solicitation by Plum Creek; Plum Creek Board Recommendation. (a) Plum Creek shall, and shall instruct its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Plum Creek Takeover Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any such Person or its Representatives and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, Plum Creek shall not, nor shall it authorize

any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives to, (i) directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or facilitate any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Plum Creek Takeover Proposal or (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any information with respect to, or cooperate in any way with any Person who is seeking to make or has made a Plum Creek Takeover Proposal with respect to any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Plum Creek Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Plum Creek Stockholder Approval, in response to a bona fide written Plum Creek Takeover Proposal that the Plum Creek Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Plum Creek Proposal, and which Plum Creek Takeover Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and did not otherwise result from a material breach of the non-solicitation provisions of this Section 5.03(a), Plum Creek may (and may authorize the Plum Creek Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to), subject to compliance with Section 5.03(c), (x) furnish information with respect to Plum Creek and the Plum Creek Subsidiaries to the Person making such Plum Creek Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) (provided that all such information has previously been provided to Weyerhaeuser or is provided to Weyerhaeuser prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such Person) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement shall not be required to contain standstill provisions (a “Plum Creek Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and (y) participate in discussions regarding the terms of such Plum Creek Takeover Proposal and the negotiation of such terms with, and only with, the Person making such Plum Creek Takeover Proposal (and such Person’s Representatives). Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of, or the taking of any action inconsistent with, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.03(a) by (x) any controlled Affiliate of Plum Creek or (y) any other Affiliates of Plum Creek or any of its or their Representatives which violation or action was known or should have been known by Plum Creek, in each case shall constitute a breach of this Section 5.03(a) by Plum Creek.

(b) Except as set forth below, neither the Plum Creek Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in any manner adverse to Weyerhaeuser), or propose publicly to withdraw (or modify in any manner adverse to Weyerhaeuser), the Plum Creek Recommendation or (B) adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal (any action in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Plum Creek Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow Plum Creek or any of its Affiliates to execute or enter into, any Acquisition Agreement (other than a Plum Creek Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) constituting

or relating to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal, or requiring, or reasonably expected to cause, Plum Creek to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of, or be inconsistent with, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or requiring, or reasonably expected to cause, Plum Creek to fail to comply with this Agreement in any material respect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Plum Creek Stockholder Approval, the Plum Creek Board may make a Plum Creek Adverse Recommendation Change if Plum Creek receives a Superior Plum Creek Proposal or the Plum Creek Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that Plum Creek shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Plum Creek Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with a Plum Creek Takeover Proposal or a Superior Plum Creek Proposal until after the fifth Business Day following Weyerhaeuser’s receipt of written notice (a “Plum Creek Notice of Recommendation Change”) from Plum Creek advising Weyerhaeuser that the Plum Creek Board intends to take such action, including the terms and conditions of any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal or Superior Plum Creek Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Plum Creek Board (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Plum Creek Takeover Proposal or Superior Plum Creek Proposal shall require a new Plum Creek Notice of Recommendation Change, except that references to the five Business Day period above shall be deemed to be references to a three Business Day period). In determining whether to make a Plum Creek Adverse Recommendation Change, the Plum Creek Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Weyerhaeuser in response to a Plum Creek Notice of Recommendation Change or otherwise.

(c) In addition to the obligations of Plum Creek set forth in Sections 5.03(a) and 5.03(b), Plum Creek shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day of receipt thereof by Plum Creek) advise Weyerhaeuser in writing of any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Plum Creek Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Plum Creek Takeover Proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Plum Creek Takeover Proposal. Plum Creek shall (i) keep Weyerhaeuser informed in all material respects of the status and details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal and (ii) provide to Weyerhaeuser as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all written and electronic materials that describe any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal and any material amendments thereto exchanged between Plum Creek or any of the Plum Creek Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives and any Person who describes any of the terms or conditions of any Plum Creek Takeover Proposal.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall prohibit Plum Creek from (i) complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or issuing a “stop-look-and-listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of Plum Creek if, in the good faith judgment of the Plum Creek Board (after consultation with outside counsel) failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall Plum Creek or the Plum Creek Board or any committee thereof take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 5.03(b) and (y) that any such disclosure pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) that relates to a Plum Creek Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be a Plum Creek Adverse Recommendation Change unless (1) the Plum Creek Board expressly reaffirms the Plum Creek Recommendation in such disclosure or (2) such disclosure is a “stop-look-and-listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement:

“Plum Creek Takeover Proposal” means any proposal or offer (whether or not in writing) made by any Person or Persons other than Weyerhaeuser or any of its Affiliates, with respect to any (i) merger, amalgamation, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary, (ii) sale, lease, contribution or other disposition, directly or indirectly (including by way of merger, amalgamation, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination, recapitalization, partnership, joint venture, sale of capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, a Plum Creek Subsidiary or otherwise) of any business or assets of Plum Creek or the Plum Creek Subsidiaries representing 15% or more of the consolidated revenues, consolidated net income or consolidated assets of Plum Creek or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or representing 15% or more of the total outstanding voting power of Plum Creek, (iii) transaction in which any Person (or the stockholders of any Person) shall acquire, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership, or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, or formation of any group which beneficially owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, 15% or more of the total outstanding voting power of Plum Creek or (iv) combination of the foregoing (in each case, other than the Merger).

“Superior Plum Creek Proposal” means any binding bona fide written offer that did not result from a material breach of the non-solicitation provisions of Section 5.03(a) made by a third party or group pursuant to which such third party (or in a merger or consolidation involving such party, the stockholders of such third party) or group would acquire, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Plum Creek Common Stock or all or substantially all of the assets of Plum

Creek and the Plum Creek Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (i) on terms which the Plum Creek Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of Plum Creek Common Stock than the Merger, taking into account all the material terms and conditions of such offer (including the material legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal) and this Agreement (including any changes proposed by Weyerhaeuser to the terms of this Agreement) and (ii) that is otherwise reasonably capable of being consummated on the terms proposed taking into account all material legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.

Each of Weyerhaeuser and Plum Creek shall also take any other action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws in connection with the Merger and the issuance of the Merger Consideration.

(b) If prior to the Effective Time, any event occurs with respect to Weyerhaeuser or any Weyerhaeuser Subsidiary, or any change occurs with respect to other information supplied by Weyerhaeuser for inclusion in the Joint Proxy Statement or the Form S-4, which is required to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Joint Proxy Statement or the Form S-4, Weyerhaeuser shall promptly notify Plum Creek of such event, and Weyerhaeuser and Plum Creek shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment or supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 and, as required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to Weyerhaeuser’s shareholders and Plum Creek’s stockholders.

Except as expressly contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, Weyerhaeuser agrees that its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to Weyerhaeuser of any Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal or by the making of any Weyerhaeuser Adverse Recommendation Change by the Weyerhaeuser Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Weyerhaeuser reasonably believes, after consulting with its outside counsel and Plum Creek, that (i) it is necessary to postpone or adjourn the Weyerhaeuser Shareholders Meeting to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement is provided to the shareholders of Weyerhaeuser within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Weyerhaeuser Shareholders Meeting or (ii) (A) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Weyerhaeuser Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, or (B) it will not have sufficient Weyerhaeuser Common Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Weyerhaeuser Shareholders Meeting, then Weyerhaeuser, after consultation with Plum Creek, may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Weyerhaeuser Shareholders Meeting, as long as, in the case of any postponement or adjournment under clause (ii) of this sentence, the date of the Weyerhaeuser Shareholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days.

Joint Proxy Statement to be mailed to Plum Creek’s stockholders and (y) to hold the Plum Creek Stockholders Meeting as soon as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with applicable Law, the Plum Creek Charter and the Plum Creek By-laws. Plum Creek shall, through the Plum Creek Board, recommend to its stockholders that they give the Plum Creek Stockholder Approval, shall include such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement and shall use reasonable best efforts to solicit the Plum Creek Stockholder Approval, except to the extent that the Plum Creek Board has made a Plum Creek Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.03(b).

All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement dated May 29, 2015 between Weyerhaeuser and Plum Creek (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

SECTION 6.03. Required Actions. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably possible, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting Section 6.03(a), Weyerhaeuser and the Weyerhaeuser Board and Plum Creek and the Plum Creek Board, as the case may be, shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to (x) take all action reasonably appropriate to ensure that no takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement and (y) if any takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, take all action reasonably appropriate to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) make or cause to be made, in consultation and cooperation with the other and as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all necessary registrations, declarations, notices, applications and filings relating to the Merger with other Governmental Entities under any foreign antitrust, competition, foreign investment, trade regulation or similar Laws;

(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the other all assistance, cooperation and information required for any such registration, declaration, notice, application or filing and in order to achieve the effects set forth in Section 6.03(c);

(iii) give the other reasonable prior notice of any such registration, declaration, notice, application or filing and, to the extent reasonably practicable, of any communication with any Governmental Entity regarding the Merger (including with respect to any of the actions referred to in this Section 6.03(c)), and permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of, and secure the participation of, the other in connection with any such registration, declaration, notice, filing, application or communication;

(iv) use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable under the circumstances to any inquiries received from any Governmental Entity or any other authority enforcing applicable antitrust, competition, foreign investment, trade regulation or similar Laws for information or documentation in connection with antitrust, competition, foreign investment, trade regulation or similar matters and not enter into any agreement with such Governmental Entities or other authorities not to consummate any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and

SECTION 6.04. Equity Awards. (a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Plum Creek Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions (including obtaining any required consents) as may be required to effect the following:

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Weyerhaeuser shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the Weyerhaeuser Common Shares subject to the Plum Creek Stock Options, Plum Creek Restricted Stock Units, Plum Creek Deferred Stock Units and Post-2014 Value Management Awards and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Plum Creek Stock Options, Plum Creek Restricted Stock Units, Plum Creek Deferred Stock Units and Post-2014 Value Management Awards remain outstanding.

(e) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, Plum Creek shall take all actions necessary to ensure that, as of the Effective Time, no Plum Creek Personnel or any other current or former participant in any Plum Creek Stock Plan, any Plum Creek Benefit Plan or any Plum Creek Benefit Agreement (including any current or former participant in the Amended and Restated Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc.

SECTION 6.05. Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance. (a) From and after the Effective Time, Weyerhaeuser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and shall promptly advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law) each former and present director or officer of Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary, as the case may be (the “Plum Creek Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any suit, action or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Plum Creek Indemnified Party is or was an officer or director of Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary as a director or officer of another Person, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time as provided in Plum Creek’s or such Plum Creek Subsidiary’s respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) as in effect on the date of this Agreement and any indemnification or other similar agreements of Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement and a true and

complete copy of which has been made available to Weyerhaeuser prior to the date of this Agreement, shall be assumed by Weyerhaeuser in the Merger, without further action as of the Effective Time, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(b) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each case the Surviving Corporation shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05 contemporaneous with the closing of any such consolidation, merger, transfer or conveyance.

(c) On or prior to the Effective Time, Weyerhaeuser shall purchase a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the six-year period from and after the Effective Time for Plum Creek and its current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by Plum Creek from a carrier with comparable or better credit rating to Plum Creek’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier on terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by Plum Creek as of the date of this Agreement with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, except that in no event shall Weyerhaeuser be required to pay with respect to such “tail” policy more than $1,800,000 (the “Maximum Amount”). If Weyerhaeuser is unable to obtain the “tail” policy described in the immediately preceding sentence as of the Effective Time, Weyerhaeuser shall obtain an insurance and indemnification policy (from an insurance carrier with comparable or better credit rating as the current insurer) that provides directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for events, acts and omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time for an aggregate period of no less than six years from the Effective Time that is not materially less favorable than Plum Creek’s existing policy or, if such coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that in no event shall Weyerhaeuser be required to expend for such policies an amount greater than the Maximum Amount.

(d) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, the charter and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitations on liability of directors and officers than are set forth in the charter or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of Plum Creek and the Plum Creek Subsidiaries, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were Plum Creek Indemnified Parties, unless such modification shall be required by Law and then only to the extent required by Law.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.05 (i) shall survive consummation of the Merger, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Plum Creek Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his and her representatives and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that each Plum Creek Indemnified Party may have by contract or otherwise, including under the terms of the respective charters or bylaws or comparable organizational documents of Plum Creek and the Plum Creek Subsidiaries.

SECTION 6.06. Fees and Expenses. (a) Except as provided below, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

For the purposes of Section 6.06(b)(ii)(C) only, the term “Plum Creek Takeover Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.03(e) except that all references to “15%” therein shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

Any Plum Creek Termination Fee due under this Section 6.06(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds (x) in the case of clause (i) above, on the second Business Day immediately following the date of termination of this Agreement and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, on the second Business Day following the consummation of such Plum Creek Takeover Proposal.

For the purposes of Section 6.06(c)(ii)(C) only, the term “Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.02(e) except that all references to “15%” therein shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

Any Weyerhaeuser Termination Fee due under this Section 6.06(c) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds (x) in the case of clause (i) above, on the second Business Day immediately following the date of termination of this Agreement and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, on the second Business Day following the consummation of such Weyerhaeuser Takeover Proposal.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by either Weyerhaeuser or Plum Creek pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iv), then Plum Creek shall pay to Weyerhaeuser all of the reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Weyerhaeuser or its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement up to a maximum of

In the event any Plum Creek Termination Fee is payable after the time Plum Creek pays any Plum Creek Expense Reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.06(d), the amount of the Plum Creek Termination Fee payable by Plum Creek shall be reduced by such Plum Creek Expense Reimbursement amount actually paid to Weyerhaeuser.

(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by either Weyerhaeuser or Plum Creek pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iii), then Weyerhaeuser shall pay to Plum Creek all of the reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Plum Creek or its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement up to a maximum of $40,000,000 (the “Weyerhaeuser Expense Reimbursement”).

In the event any Weyerhaeuser Termination Fee is payable after the time Weyerhaeuser pays any Weyerhaeuser Expense Reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.06(e), the amount of the Weyerhaeuser Termination Fee payable by Weyerhaeuser shall be reduced by such Weyerhaeuser Expense Reimbursement amount actually paid to Plum Creek.

(f) Weyerhaeuser and Plum Creek acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Sections 6.06(b), 6.06(c), 6.06(d) and 6.06(e) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither Plum Creek nor Weyerhaeuser would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Weyerhaeuser fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to Section 6.06(c) or 6.06(e) or Plum Creek fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to Section 6.06(b) or 6.06(d), and, in order to obtain such payment, the Person owed such payment commences a suit, action or other proceeding that results in a Judgment in its favor for such payment, the Person owing such payment shall pay to the Person owed such payment its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, action or other proceeding, together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. In no event shall either party be obligated to pay more than one termination fee pursuant to this Section 6.06. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Weyerhaeuser

Termination Fee or the Plum Creek Termination Fee is payable and actually paid to Weyerhaeuser or Plum Creek in accordance with this Section 6.06, payment of such Weyerhaeuser Termination Fee or Plum Creek Termination Fee, as applicable, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the non-terminating party and its Affiliates against any other party or such other party’s Affiliates and other Representatives, for any loss or damage based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.06(g) shall apply with respect to the payment of the Termination Payment required to be made hereunder:

(i) If either Weyerhaeuser or Plum Creek, as applicable, (the “Termination Payor”) is required to pay the other (the “Termination Payee”) the Weyerhaeuser Termination Fee or the Plum Creek Termination Fee, as applicable, (the “Termination Payment”), such Termination Payment shall be paid into escrow on the date such Termination Payment is required to be paid by the Termination Payor pursuant to this Agreement by wire transfer of same-day funds to an escrow account designated in accordance with this Section 6.06(g). In the event that the Termination Payor is obligated to pay the Termination Payee the Termination Payment, the amount payable to the Termination Payee in any tax year of the Termination Payee shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the Termination Payment payable to the Termination Payee and (B) the sum of (1) the maximum amount that can be paid to the Termination Payee without causing the Termination Payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code for the relevant tax year, determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Section 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”) and the Termination Payee has $1,000,000 of income from unknown sources during such year which is not Qualifying Income (in addition to any known or anticipated income which is not Qualifying Income), in each case, as determined by the Termination Payee’s independent accountants, plus (2) in the event the Termination Payee receives either (x) a letter from the Termination Payee’s counsel indicating that the Termination Payee has received a ruling from the IRS as described below in this Section 6.06(g) or (y) an opinion from the Termination Payee’s outside counsel as described below in this Section 6.06(g), an amount equal to the excess of the Termination Payment less the amount payable under clause (1) above.

(ii) To secure the Termination Payor’s obligation to pay these amounts, the Termination Payor shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the Termination Payment with a nationally recognized escrow agent selected by the Termination Payor on such terms (subject to this Section 6.06(g)) as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Termination Payor, the Termination Payee and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow of the Termination Payment pursuant to this Section 6.06(g) shall be made at the time the Termination Payor is obligated to pay the

Termination Payee such amount pursuant to Section 6.06 by wire transfer. The escrow agreement shall provide that the Termination Payment in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to the Termination Payee unless the escrow agent receives any one or combination of the following: (A) a letter from the Termination Payee’s independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to the Termination Payee without causing the Termination Payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(2)(3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income and the Termination Payee has $1,000,000 of income from unknown sources during such year which is not Qualifying Income (in addition to any known or anticipated income which is not Qualifying Income), in which case the escrow agent shall release such amount to the Termination Payee, or (B) a letter from the Termination Payee’s counsel indicating that (1) the Termination Payee received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by the Termination Payee of the Termination Payment would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code or (2) the Termination Payee’s outside counsel has rendered a legal opinion to the effect that the receipt by the Termination Payee of the Termination Payment should either constitute Qualifying Income or should be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of the Termination Payment to the Termination Payee. The Termination Payor agrees to amend this Section 6.06(g) at the reasonable request of the Termination Payee in order to (x) maximize the portion of the Termination Payment that may be distributed to the Termination Payee hereunder without causing the Termination Payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code or (y) assist the Termination Payee in obtaining a favorable ruling or legal opinion from its outside counsel, in each case, as described in this Section 6.06(g). Any amount of the Termination Payment that remains unpaid as of the end of a taxable year shall be paid as soon as possible during the following taxable year, subject to the foregoing limitations of this Section 6.06(g).

For United States Federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that (a) the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, (b) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code and (c) with respect to the Merger, Weyerhaeuser and Plum Creek will each be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code (the qualifications and other matters referred to in clauses (a) through (c), collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties shall cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to cause the Intended Tax Treatment to be obtained, including (i) refraining from any action that such party knows is reasonably likely to prevent the Intended Tax Treatment, (ii) executing such amendments to this Agreement as may be reasonably required in order to obtain the Intended Tax Treatment (it being understood

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) none of Plum Creek nor any of the Plum Creek Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives shall be required to take or permit the taking of any action that would (i) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary, (ii) cause any director, officer or other employee of Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary to incur any personal liability (it being understood that this clause (ii) shall not excuse any such director, officer or other employee from delivering customary certificates, legal opinions or other customary closing documents reasonably requested by Weyerhaeuser), (iii) conflict with the organizational documents of Plum Creek or any Laws, (iv) result in the contravention of, or a violation or breach of, or a default (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) under, this Agreement or any material Contract to which Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary is a party or (v) provide access to or disclose information that Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary reasonably determines is subject to any attorney-client privilege of Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary (provided that Plum Creek shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege); (y) none of Plum Creek nor any of the Plum Creek Subsidiaries shall be required to prepare separate financial statements for any Plum Creek Subsidiary or change any fiscal period and (z) no obligation of Plum Creek or any Plum Creek Subsidiary under any agreement, certificate, document or instrument provided in connection with the Financing shall be effective prior to the Effective Time.

SECTION 9.05. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or by public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or such party waives its rights under this Section 9.05 with respect thereto. Upon any determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Plum Creek acknowledges that it is not executing or authorizing the execution of this Agreement in reliance upon any such representation or warranty not explicitly set forth in Article III. Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article IV, Weyerhaeuser acknowledges that none of Plum Creek, the Plum Creek Subsidiaries or any other Person on behalf of Plum Creek makes any other express or implied representation or warranty in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Weyerhaeuser acknowledges that it is not executing or authorizing the execution of this Agreement in reliance upon any such representation or warranty not explicitly set forth in Article IV.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) in the event of Weyerhaeuser’s fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of this Agreement, damages to Plum Creek shall include, to the extent proven, the loss of the benefit of the bargain to Plum Creek and Plum Creek’s stockholders and (ii) in the event of Plum Creek’s fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation or

intentional breach of this Agreement, damages to Weyerhaeuser shall include, to the extent proven, the loss of the benefit of the bargain to Weyerhaeuser and Weyerhaeuser’s shareholders.

SECTION 9.08. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER ANY APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

SECTION 9.09. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the two immediately preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

SECTION 9.10. Specific Enforcement; Consent to Jurisdiction. (a) The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 9.10(b), without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.

(b) Each of the parties (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any Delaware state court or any federal court located in the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than any Delaware state court or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware.

SECTION 9.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any action, suit or other proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 9.11.

EXHIBIT B

Bylaw Amendment

Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc.

The Amended and Restated By-Laws of Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc., as previously amended on February 7, 2007, February 5, 2008, February 9, 2010 and February 8, 2011 (the “By-Laws”) are hereby amended, effective [●], 2015, as set forth below.

Article VII of the By-Laws is hereby amended by adding the following section:

Article VII

General Provisions

Section 7.5. Forum for Adjudication of Certain Disputes. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Corporation arising out of or relating to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such case, unless the Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 7.5 of Article VII. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of this Section 7.5 of Article VII is filed in a court other than the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware

(or any other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) (a “Foreign Action”) by or in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce this Section 7.5 of Article VII and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder. The existence of any prior Alternative Forum Consent shall not act as a waiver of the Corporation’s ongoing consent right as set forth above in this Section 7.5 of Article VII with respect to any current or future actions or claims.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER Dated as of November 6, 2015, Between WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY and PLUM CREEK TIMBER COMPANY, INC.
