(a) cause any of the representations or warranties of such Party contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or at the Effective Time if such failure to be true or accurate would cause any condition in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.3(a) not to be satisfied; or

Neither Party may exercise its rights to terminate this Agreement, pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(v), with respect to termination by West Fraser or pursuant to Section 8.2(d)(iv) with respect to termination by Norbord, unless such Party has delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the Party is asserting as the basis for the non-fulfilment of the applicable condition or for the applicable termination right, as the case may be.

(ii) the Norbord Board shall review any offer made by West Fraser under this Section 7.4(b) to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in good faith and in a manner consistent with the fiduciary duties of the Norbord Board in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal; and

(iii) Norbord shall negotiate with West Fraser in good faith and in a manner consistent with the fiduciary duties of the Norbord Board to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable West Fraser to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms.

If the Norbord Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal as compared to the proposed amendments to the terms of this Agreement, Norbord shall promptly so advise West Fraser and the Parties shall amend this Agreement to reflect such offer made by West Fraser, and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing, including promptly re-affirming the Norbord Board Recommendation to the Norbord Shareholders.

(c) Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Norbord Shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 7.4, and West Fraser shall be afforded a new three Business Day West Fraser Matching Period from the later of (i) the date on which West Fraser received the Norbord Superior Proposal Notice with respect to the new Superior Proposal from Norbord, and (ii) the date on which West Fraser received a copy of the documentation referred to in Section 7.4(a)(iii) above with respect to such new Superior Proposal.

Norbord shall make all reasonable amendments to such press release as requested by West Fraser and its counsel.

(e) If Norbord provides a Norbord Superior Proposal Notice to West Fraser on a date that is less than seven Business Days before the Norbord Meeting, Norbord shall be entitled to, and shall upon request from West Fraser, postpone such Norbord Meeting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a date specified by West Fraser that is not more than seven Business Days after the scheduled date of the Norbord Meeting.

(i) the West Fraser Board first determines in good faith, after consultation with its non-related financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal (disregarding any due diligence or access condition) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to engage in such discussions or negotiations or to provide such access or disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties;

(v) West Fraser promptly provides Norbord with:

(A) written notice stating West Fraser’s intention to participate in such discussions or negotiations and to provide such access and disclosure and that the West Fraser Board has determined that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, together with

(ii) West Fraser has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under this Article 7 in all material respects;

(iii) West Fraser has delivered to Norbord a written notice of the determination of the West Fraser Board that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the West Fraser Board to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (the “West Fraser Superior Proposal Notice”), which West Fraser Superior Proposal Notice will set forth the determinations of the West Fraser Board regarding the value and financial terms that the West Fraser Board, in consultation with its non-related financial advisor and West Fraser’s outside legal counsel, has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such West Fraser Superior Proposal;

(B) the failure of the West Fraser Board to recommend that West Fraser enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; and

(viii) prior to or concurrently with entering into such definitive agreement West Fraser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(iv) and pays to Norbord the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(ii).

(b) During the Norbord Matching Period, or such longer period as West Fraser may approve in writing for such purpose:

(iii) West Fraser shall negotiate with Norbord in good faith and in a manner consistent with the fiduciary duties of the West Fraser Board to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable Norbord to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms.

(c) West Fraser agrees that it shall cause Norbord to honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of Indemnified Parties, and acknowledges that such rights shall survive the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Date.

(e) Subject to the last sentence of Section 8.3(d), nothing in this Section 8.4 shall preclude a Party from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any such covenants or agreement, and any requirement for securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunction or specific performance is hereby being waived.

In any case where the aggregate number of West Fraser Shares to be issued to a Shareholder or a Qualifying Holdco Shareholder as Consideration or Holdco Share Consideration under this Plan of Arrangement would result in a fraction of a West Fraser Share being issuable, then the number of West Fraser Shares to be issued to such Shareholder or Qualifying Holdco Shareholder shall be rounded down to the closest whole number and, in lieu of the issuance of a fractional West Fraser Share thereof, West Fraser will pay to each such holder a cash payment (rounded down to the nearest cent) determined by reference to the volume-weighted average trading price of West Fraser Shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date.

3.3 Deemed Fully Paid and Non-Assessable Shares

All West Fraser Shares issued pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be validly issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable shares for all purposes of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

A - 9 ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT

3.4 Adjustments to the Consideration

All calculations and determinations made by West Fraser, Norbord or the Depositary, as applicable, for the purposes of this Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement shall be conclusive, final, and binding.

(a) Each registered Shareholder may exercise rights of dissent (“Dissent Rights”) with respect to Norbord Shares held by such Shareholder pursuant to Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and this section 4.1(a); provided that notwithstanding subsection 190(5) of the CBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution must be received by Norbord not later than 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two Business Days immediately preceding the date of the Special Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time). Dissenting Shareholders who:

(ii) are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid by Norbord fair value for their Dissent Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement in respect of those Norbord Shares on the same basis as a non-dissenting Shareholder and shall be entitled to receive only the Consideration that such non-dissenting Shareholders are entitled to receive, on the basis set forth in Section 3.1(f).

(b) In no event shall West Fraser or Norbord or any other person be required to recognize a Dissenting Shareholder as a registered or beneficial owner of Norbord Shares or any interest therein (other than the rights set out in this Section 4.1) at or after the Effective Time of Section 3.1(d) or 3.1(f) as applicable, and at the Effective Time of Section 3.1(d) or 3.1(f), as applicable, the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the central securities register of Norbord as at such Effective Time.

(a) Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Time, West Fraser shall deliver or arrange to be delivered to the Depositary the Consideration.

(b) Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Qualifying Holdco Shares or Norbord Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(e) or 3.1(f), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Qualifying Holdco Shareholder or the Shareholder represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such Qualifying Holdco Shareholder or Shareholder, the Holdco Share Consideration or the Consideration, as applicable, which such Shareholder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Qualifying Holdco Shares or Norbord Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.1(g), and any certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 5.1, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Qualifying Holdco Shares or Norbord Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(e) and Section 3.1(f), respectively, shall be deemed after the Effective Time of Section 3.1(e) and Section 3.1(f), respectively, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Holdco Share Consideration or the Consideration (as applicable) to which the holder is entitled to receive in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in this Section 5.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.1(g). Any such certificate formerly representing Norbord Shares or Qualifying Holdco Shares not duly surrendered on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former holder of Norbord Shares or Qualifying Holdco Shares of any kind or nature against or in Norbord or West Fraser.

A - 11 ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT

(e) In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Norbord Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(f) shall have 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, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Consideration deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such cash is to be delivered shall as a condition precedent to the delivery of such cash, give a bond satisfactory to West Fraser and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as West Fraser may direct, or otherwise indemnify West Fraser and Norbord in a manner satisfactory to West Fraser and Norbord, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against West Fraser and Norbord with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f) On the Effective Date, Norbord shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, to each holder of Incentive Securities, as reflected on the register maintained by or on behalf of Norbord in respect of such Incentive Securities, a cheque representing the cash payment, if any, which such holder of Incentive Securities has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such Incentive Security, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.1(h) hereof.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld, deducted and remitted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.

All such documents and information comprising the Norbord Public Disclosure Record, as of their respective dates (or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment), (1) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or

Norbord has designed and maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in NI 52-109) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Since December 31, 2019, there has been no change in Norbord’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Norbord’s internal control over financial reporting. Such internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. To the knowledge of Norbord, as of the date of this Agreement, (i) there are no material weaknesses in, the internal controls over financial reporting of Norbord that could reasonably be expected to lead management to conclude that such internal controls over financial reporting are not effective, and (ii) there is no fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the internal control over financial reporting of Norbord.

No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

10.8 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or other agreements, express or implied, collateral, statutory or otherwise, between the parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. The parties have not relied and are not relying on any other information, discussion or understanding in entering into and completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.9 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce more than one counterpart.
