If, on the Closing Date, any such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective or a violation of applicable Law so that the Purchasers would not in fact receive all such rights (or, in the case of a Shared Contract, all of the rights thereunder to the extent related to the Business), the Sellers will cooperate in an arrangement reasonably agreed upon by the parties under which the Purchasers or a designated Subsidiary would, in compliance with applicable Law, obtain all of the benefits (or, in the case of a Shared Contract, all of the rights thereunder to the extent related to the Business) and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Contract, Permit, Record, claim, right or benefit (in each case solely to the extent such obligations and burdens constitute Assumed Liabilities), including by the Sellers subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Purchasers, or under which the Sellers would enforce, for the benefit of the Purchasers, and at the expense of the Purchasers, any and all of its rights against a third party thereto (including any Governmental Authority) associated with such Contract, Permit, Record, claim, right or benefit, and the Sellers would

-39- promptly pay to the Purchasers when received all monies received by it under any such Contract, Permit or Record or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder (or, in the case of a Shared Contract, all such monies received by the Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries under such Shared Contract to the extent related to the Business). Upon obtaining the requisite third-party consent thereto, such Contract, Permit or Record or right, if otherwise includable in the Transferred Assets or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall automatically be transferred and assigned to the Purchasers or a designee hereunder for no additional consideration pursuant to the terms of the Local Conveyance Documents (if applicable) without any further action by the Sellers, the Purchasers or any other Person. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall in no way impose upon the Sellers any obligation to incur out-of-pocket expenses in connection with obtaining consents unless the Purchaser agrees to advance such expenses to the Sellers. (c) From and after the Closing, for so long as the Sellers are parties to any Shared Contracts and provide the Purchasers any claims, rights and benefits of any such Shared Contracts pursuant to an arrangement described in Section 2.4(b), the Purchasers shall indemnify, defend and hold the Sellers and their Affiliates harmless from and against all Losses incurred or asserted as a result of the Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ post-Closing direct or indirect ownership or performance of any such Shared Contracts (to the extent related to the Business). Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price. (a) Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 2.9, Section 2.10 and, if applicable, Section 3.7, the cash purchase price for the Transferred Assets shall be $210,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). (b) LP Canada, Parent, Purchaser, and Canadian Purchaser have agreed upon a methodology for allocating the total consideration (including the Purchase Price) for the Transferred Assets as between those Transferred Assets being acquired by the Purchaser and those Transferred Assets being acquired by the Canadian Purchaser, in each case in the aggregate, and among those Transferred Assets being acquired by each Purchaser, as set forth in Section 2.5(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (the “Initial Allocation Schedule”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Allocation Schedule shall include sufficient information for the Purchasers to determine the availability of any Transfer Tax exemptions, including but not limited to the GST relief for forestry licenses under section 162 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and PST resale exemptions for Transferred Inventory and exemptions for production machinery and equipment. No later than ten (10) days before Closing, Seller shall deliver a schedule updating the Initial Allocation Schedule to take into account the financials of LP Canada and Parent as of June 30, 2022, but based on the same methodology as used in preparing the Initial Allocation Schedule (the “Closing Date Allocation Schedule”); provided, that if Purchaser disagrees that such schedule reflects the same methodology, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to ensure that an agreed upon Closing Date Allocation Schedule is prepared prior to Closing. Within sixty (60) days after the Final Net Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.10, the Parent shall deliver to Purchaser and Canadian Purchaser a schedule allocating the total consideration paid for the Transferred Assets (which includes the Purchase Price and the agreed amount of any Assumed Liabilities treated as consideration for the Transferred Assets), among the Transferred Assets, using the same methodology as used in the Initial Allocation Schedule, updated only for changes in facts (the “Post-Closing Allocation

-40- Schedule”). The Sellers and Purchaser and Canadian Purchaser agree that the intention is that the Post-Closing Allocation Schedule be in accordance and consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. (c) The Post-Closing Allocation Schedule so delivered by Parent shall not be deemed final until accepted by the Purchaser and Canadian Purchaser if the Purchaser and Canadian Purchaser deliver to the Parent, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Post-Closing Allocation Schedule, a written statement describing each objection thereto, which objections may not relate to a change in methodology from the Initial Allocation Schedule. The Purchaser, the Canadian Purchaser and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve in any disagreements (and will reflect any agreed upon changes in a revised Post-Closing Allocation Schedule). The Post-Closing Allocation Schedule, as finalized and agreed to, is the final allocation schedule (the “Final Allocation Schedule”). (d) The Closing Date Allocation Schedule shall be used for the calculation of any Transfer Taxes due to the Governmental Authority at Closing, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. (e) The parties agree to file (and cause their Subsidiaries to file) all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594 and any similar statements) in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule and agree not to take (and to cause their Subsidiaries not to take) any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, audit, examination, refund claim, or otherwise, unless required to do so by applicable Law. Each party agrees to notify the other if the IRS or any other Governmental Authority proposes any changes to any allocations made pursuant to the Final Allocation Schedule. (f) The Purchaser, the Canadian Purchaser and any other applicable withholding agent will make all payments due from the Purchaser or the Canadian Purchaser under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If the Purchaser reasonably believes that applicable Law requires any such deduction or withholding, the Purchaser will give written notice thereof to the Sellers no later than ten (10) days before the date such payment is due, and the Purchaser, the Canadian Purchaser and the Sellers will cooperate in good faith to minimize the amount of any deduction or withholding (or obtain a refund of any such deduction or withholding) including obtaining and providing, and if required, filing with the relevant Governmental Authority, any applicable documentation. Promptly after any such deduction or withholding, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers (i) the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing the payment of such deducted or withheld amount and any other evidence of such payment reasonably requested by the Sellers or (ii) other evidence of payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers. Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Closing Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held remotely by electronic delivery of executed documents at 10:00 a.m. New York time (a) on the first Business Day of the calendar

-41- month immediately following the calendar month in which all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII at the Closing) are first satisfied or waived, provided that there shall be at least three (3) Business Days between the date all such conditions are first satisfied or waived and the Closing Date or (b) at such other place or at such other time or on such other date as the Sellers and the Purchaser may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which the Closing takes place, the “Closing Date”). The Closing will be deemed effective as of 12:01 a.m. in each applicable time zone on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Effective Time”) for purposes of determining all amounts described in Section 2.9 and Section 2.10. Closing Deliveries by the Sellers. At the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser: (a) executed counterparts of (i) each Local Conveyance Document; and (ii) each other Transaction Document that is to be executed at the Closing and, in each case, to which a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, each in a form mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Sellers prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.17; (b) a receipt for the Closing Date Payment and the amount specified in Section 7.4(a) of this Agreement; (c) the executed certificate referenced in Section 8.2(a); (d) an executed certificate as to the non-foreign status of Parent pursuant to Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) of the Regulations; (e) an executed resale certificate for a transfer of Transferred Inventory in California and North Carolina; (f) an executed California Form 593, California Real Estate Withholding Statement; (g) the GST election referenced in Section 7.4, to the extent that such election is made; (h) a completed Allocation Schedule, mutually agreed with the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.5(b); (i) the executed certificate referenced in Section 6.18; and (j) evidence satisfactory to the Title Company that the North Carolina Deed of Trust has been discharged and released from record. Closing Deliveries by the Purchaser. At the Closing, the Purchaser and the Canadian Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered:

-42- (a) to Parent, for the benefit and on behalf of the Sellers in proportion with the allocation determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b), the Closing Date Payment by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Parent in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; (b) to Parent, for the benefit and on behalf of LP Canada, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Parent in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the amount specified in Section 7.4(a) of this Agreement; (c) to the Sellers, executed counterparts of (i) each Local Conveyance Document; and (ii) each other Transaction Document that is to be executed at the Closing and, in each case, to which the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party, each in a form mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Sellers prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.17; (d) the GST election, to the extent that such election is made, and any PST exemption certificates or equivalent documentation referenced in Section 7.4; and (e) to the Sellers, the certificate referenced in Section 8.1(a). Preliminary Adjustment of Purchase Price. The Sellers shall provide to the Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a written statement (the “Estimated Purchase Price Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Sellers’ good faith calculation of the estimated Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date Effective Time (the “Preliminary Net Working Capital”) calculated consistently with the illustrative calculation of Net Working Capital set forth in Section 2.9 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and consisting of only those specific line items included in Section 2.9 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and on the same basis as the Financial Statements, together with reasonable backup documentation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an itemization of each Transferred Account Receivable included in the Preliminary Net Working Capital). The Estimated Purchase Price Statement shall also set forth the Sellers’ good faith calculation of the Purchase Price payable as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with this Section 2.9. Following the delivery of the Estimated Purchase Price Statement, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, the Sellers shall provide reasonable access to the Purchaser to all workpapers and other books and records utilized by the Sellers or their Representatives in the preparation of the Estimated Purchase Price Statement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Purchaser those of its Representatives involved in the preparation of the Estimated Purchase Price Statement. Prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall promptly consider in good faith any comments of the Purchaser to the Estimated Purchase Price Statement, and the Estimated Purchase Price Statement shall be updated to reflect any changes thereto mutually agreed to by the parties; provided, that if no such mutual agreement is obtained, the Estimated Purchase Price Statement as delivered by the Sellers shall be used for purposes of the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, any failure by the Purchaser to provide any such comments shall not affect, modify or otherwise prejudice in any way the Purchaser’s rights and remedies under this Agreement. The Purchase Price shall be (i) increased by the amount, if any, that the Preliminary Net Working Capital exceeds the Baseline Net Working Capital, and (ii) decreased

-43- by the amount, if any, that the Baseline Net Working Capital exceeds the Preliminary Net Working Capital. The Estimated Purchase Price Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a senior financial officer of Parent to the effect that the Preliminary Net Working Capital has been calculated in good faith in accordance with this Section 2.9. To the extent that any foreign currency conversions are necessary in connection with the preparation of Preliminary Net Working Capital, such conversions shall be consistent with the method for conversion of foreign currency as used by Parent in preparation of its audited financial statements using the applicable exchange rate as of the date immediately prior to the date of the Estimated Purchase Price Statement. Final Net Working Capital; Adjustment of Purchase Price. (a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”) setting forth in reasonable detail its calculations of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date Effective Time (the “Final Net Working Capital”) prepared consistently with the calculation of Net Working Capital set forth on Section 2.9 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and consisting only those specific line items included in the calculation of Net Working Capital set forth on Section 2.9 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (including having the inventory amount included in the Final Net Working Capital being based on a physical inventory to be conducted, in accordance with past practice, immediately after the Closing Date Effective Time, by the Purchaser (and observed by the Sellers) at the Manufacturing Facilities) and on the same basis as the Financial Statements, together with reasonable backup documentation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an itemization of each Transferred Account Receivable included in the Final Net Working Capital). The Post-Closing Adjustment shall also set forth the Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price, determined in accordance with this Section 2.10. The Post-Closing Adjustment shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a senior financial officer of the Purchaser to the effect that the Post-Closing Adjustment has been prepared in good faith in accordance with this Section 2.10(a). To the extent that any foreign currency conversions are necessary in connection with the preparation of the Final Net Working Capital, such conversions shall be consistent with the method for conversion of foreign currency as used by Parent in the preparation of its audited financial statements using the applicable exchange rate as of the Closing Date. (b) During the forty-five (45) day period following delivery of the Post-Closing Adjustment, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, the Purchaser shall provide reasonable access to the Sellers to all workpapers and other books and records utilized by the Purchaser or its Representatives in the preparation of the Post-Closing Adjustment and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Sellers those of its Representatives involved in the preparation of the Post-Closing Adjustment. (c) If the Sellers disagree with the Purchaser’s calculation of Final Net Working Capital, the Sellers shall, within forty-five (45) days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Post-Closing Adjustment, deliver a written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to the Purchaser disagreeing with such calculation(s). The Dispute Notice will set forth the Sellers’ objections, if any, to the Post- Closing Adjustment in reasonable detail and the Sellers’ calculation of Final Net Working Capital. The Dispute Notice shall specify those items deemed to be in dispute (the “Disputed Items”), and all other matters included in the Post-Closing Adjustment delivered by the

-44- Purchaser shall be deemed to be final and binding on the parties hereto. After timely delivery of the Dispute Notice by the Sellers, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Disputed Items, and any resolution by the Sellers and the Purchaser of such Disputed Items in writing shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. (d) If any Disputed Items cannot be resolved by the parties within thirty (30) days after the Sellers deliver the Dispute Notice to the Purchaser, such Disputed Items shall be referred to the Independent Accountant. Unless otherwise agreed, not later than thirty (30) days after the referral of any Disputed Items to the Independent Accountant, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall concurrently submit written statements to the Independent Accountant (with a copy to the other party) setting forth their respective positions regarding the Disputed Items that remain in dispute. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall instruct the Independent Accountant to render its decision resolving the dispute within thirty (30) days after submission of the written statements, and during such period, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Independent Accountant during normal business hours such employees, information, books and records as may be reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant to make its final determination. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accountant (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.10 and the definitions of Net Working Capital, Preliminary Net Working Capital and Final Net Working Capital; (ii) shall limit its review to the Disputed Items submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution and not otherwise investigate matters independently; and (iii) shall further limit its review of the Disputed Items solely to whether the Post-Closing Adjustment has been prepared in accordance with this Section 2.10 or contains any mathematical or clerical error. The determination of any Disputed Items cannot, however, be in excess of, or less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, claimed for any such item in the Post-Closing Adjustment or the Dispute Notice. The Sellers and the Purchasers agree that the resolution by the Independent Accountant of any Disputed Items shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accountant hereunder shall be borne by the Sellers and the Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accountant, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accountant. The Sellers and the Purchasers agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.10 for resolving disputes with respect to Final Net Working Capital and the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes; provided, however, that the parties hereto agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accountant in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. (e) If the Final Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.10 (i) is less than the Preliminary Net Working Capital, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of such shortfall, and the Sellers shall pay, or cause to be paid, such amount to the Purchaser (on behalf of itself and the Canadian Purchaser, as applicable), as an adjustment to the Purchase Price; or (ii) is more than the Preliminary Net Working Capital, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and the Purchaser (on behalf of itself and the Canadian Purchaser, as applicable) shall pay such amount to the Sellers, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Any such payment pursuant to the preceding sentence will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account (or accounts) designated by

-45- the Purchaser or the Sellers, as the case may be, on the later of (A) the fifth (5th) Business Day after acceptance or deemed acceptance by the Sellers of the Post-Closing Adjustment (as contemplated by Section 2.10(c) above) or (B) the fifth (5th) Business Day following resolution of any Disputed Items (as contemplated by Section 2.10(c) or (d) above); provided, however, that if the parties are disputing the final calculation of the Purchase Price, to the extent part of any payment that would be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) is not in dispute, the payor shall pay the amount not in dispute on the date the payment would otherwise be due but for such dispute by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account (or accounts) designated by the recipient. All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) shall be accompanied by interest at a rate equal to the Interest Rate from the Closing Date through (but excluding) the date such payment is made. Any amounts payable by either party pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) may not be reduced by set-off against any amount(s) payable (whether at such time or in the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the recipient or any Affiliate of the recipient to the payor or any Affiliates of the payor. Any payment required pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) (but excluding any amounts properly treated as interest for U.S. Tax purposes) shall constitute a payment in respect of the Purchase Price. (f) If the delivery deadline date for the Post-Closing Adjustment or the Dispute Notice is a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable delivery deadline date shall be the immediately following Business Day. (g) Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Section 2.10 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, there is no general agreement among the parties to submit disputes under this Agreement to arbitration, it being understood that disputes with respect to the Post- Closing Adjustment shall be resolved solely in accordance with this Section 2.10 and the Independent Accountant shall serve as an expert, not as an arbitrator. Designated Transferees. At any time prior to the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser may deliver written notice to the Sellers designating one or more of the Purchaser’s Subsidiaries (whether or not existing as of the date hereof, and including the Canadian Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) as a “Subsidiary Transferee” hereunder; provided, however, that such notice shall set forth the name and jurisdiction of such Subsidiary of the Purchaser and the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities such Subsidiary will acquire at the Closing, it being understood that all of LP Canada’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets shall be purchased by the Canadian Purchaser and all of the Assumed Liabilities of LP Canada shall be assumed by the Canadian Purchaser. Upon the delivery of such notice, (i) such Subsidiary Transferee shall be deemed a “Purchaser” for all purposes of this Agreement relating to the acquisition of the applicable Transferred Assets by such Subsidiary Transferee, (ii) each reference to the Purchaser in connection therewith shall automatically be deemed to be a reference to such Subsidiary Transferee and (iii) such Subsidiary Transferee shall automatically be assigned all rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement necessary in connection with such designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such designation shall relieve the Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent not performed by such Subsidiary Transferee.

-46- ARTICLE III TRANSFER OF FIBER ASSETS AT THE FIBER TRANSFER Transfer of Fiber Assets at the Fiber Transfer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in consideration of the payment by or on behalf of the Canadian Purchaser to LP Canada of the applicable portion of the Purchase Price at the Closing and for no additional consideration, LP Canada, at the Fiber Transfer, shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver, to the Canadian Purchaser, and the Canadian Purchaser shall, at the Fiber Transfer, accept and receive from LP Canada, all of LP Canada’s right, title and interest in and to the following assets (the “Fiber Assets”), free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances: (a) the Assumed Tenures; (b) the Timber Harvesting Contracts; (c) LP Canada’s right, title and interest in the logging roads and bridges located on Crown land within the Assumed Tenures; (d) the Other Fiber Assets; and (e) all documents and written information that relates to the Assumed Tenures or any of the foregoing Fiber Assets, including inventory data (digital or otherwise), strategic plans, forest stewardship plans, operational plans engineering drawings, environmental and hydrology reports and correspondence with Governmental Authorities relating to the Assumed Tenures. Assumption of Fiber Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in consideration of the transfer of the Fiber Assets, the Canadian Purchaser, at the Fiber Transfer, shall assume, and agree to pay, perform and discharge when due, all Liabilities to the extent related to the Fiber Assets (but not related to the Closing Assets), including the Final Silviculture Liability and outstanding silviculture obligations in respect of timber harvested by the Canadian Purchaser under the Tenure Management and Fiber Supply Agreement, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing, but excluding all Excluded Liabilities (such Liabilities, the “Assumed Fiber Liabilities”); provided, that the Sellers and their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Canadian Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be responsible for, on a pro-rated basis based on the timing of the Fiber Transfer Date, any annual fees under the Assumed Tenures, payment under the Timber Harvesting Contracts and other similar amounts that otherwise would be included in the Assumed Fiber Liabilities, and only the portion of such fees, payments and similar amounts that is the responsibility of the Canadian Purchaser shall be deemed to be Assumed Fiber Liabilities (it being understood that the other portion thereof shall be deemed to be an Excluded Liability for all purposes hereunder). Nothing in this Agreement shall modify or supersede the terms of the Tenure Management and Fiber Supply Agreement.

-47- Procedures for the Transfer of Fiber Assets. LP Canada and the Canadian Purchaser shall effect on the Fiber Transfer Date the transfer or assignment of the Fiber Assets from LP Canada to the Canadian Purchaser pursuant to the Fiber Conveyance Documents. Fiber Transfer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the assignment, transfer, conveyance, delivery, acceptance and receipt of the Fiber Assets contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Fiber Transfer”) to be held remotely by electronic delivery of executed documents at 10:00 a.m. New York time (a) on the fifth Business Day following the day on which all of the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied or waived at the Fiber Transfer, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in Article IX at the Fiber Transfer) are satisfied or waived or (b) at such other place or at such other time or on such other date as LP Canada and the Purchaser may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which the Fiber Transfer takes place, the “Fiber Transfer Date”). The Fiber Transfer will be deemed effective as of 12:01 a.m. in each applicable time zone on the Fiber Transfer Date (the “Fiber Transfer Date Effective Time”) for purposes of determining all amounts described in Section 3.8 and Section 3.9. Deliveries by LP Canada at the Fiber Transfer. At the Fiber Transfer, LP Canada shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Canadian Purchaser: (a) executed counterparts of each Fiber Conveyance Document, each in a form mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Sellers prior to the Fiber Transfer Date pursuant to Section 6.17; and (b) a notice of completion to be delivered to the Minister pursuant to section 54.2(1) of the Forest Act (British Columbia). Deliveries by the Canadian Purchaser at the Fiber Transfer. At the Fiber Transfer, the Canadian Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to LP Canada: (a) executed counterparts of each Fiber Conveyance Document, each in a form mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Sellers prior to the Fiber Transfer Date pursuant to Section 6.17; and (b) a notice of completion to be delivered to the Minister pursuant to section 54.2(1) of the Forest Act (British Columbia).

-48- Adjustment of the Purchase Price for a Fiber Shortfall. (a) If, as of the Fiber Transfer Date Effective Time, a Fiber Shortfall exists and such Fiber Shortfall is the result of the actual reduction of the AAC of one or more of the Assumed Tenures (and not generally of a Timber Supply Area or otherwise) by the Minister or other applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to the Forest Act (British Columbia) for any purpose, including for the purpose of disposing of Crown land to an Aboriginal Group or entering into a license with, or increasing the license area or AAC of existing licenses of, an Aboriginal Group, or entering into BCTS licenses or entering into community forest agreements (as such terms are defined in the Forest Act (British Columbia)), or increasing the license area or AAC of such agreements, then the Sellers shall calculate and pay an amount (the “Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount”) equal to (i) (A) 15% multiplied by (B) the Purchase Price multiplied by (C) the Fiber Shortfall (rounded up to the nearest increment of 100) divided by 487,710, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of any compensation or other consideration paid or agreed to be paid by the Government of British Columbia, other applicable Governmental Authority or by Aboriginal Groups or any other recipient of all or part of the AAC comprising the Fiber Shortfall to the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof; provided, that if the aggregate amount of any compensation or other consideration paid or agreed to be paid by the Government of British Columbia, other applicable Governmental Authority or by Aboriginal Groups or any other recipient of all or part of the AAC comprising the Fiber Shortfall to the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (the “Seller Reduction Compensation Payment”) exceeds the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount, then the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount shall equal the Seller Reduction Compensation Payment. Solely for illustrative purposes, an example of the calculation of a hypothetical Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount is set forth in Section 3.7(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule. On the Fiber Transfer Date, the Sellers shall deliver reasonable supporting detail relating to its calculation of the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount to the Purchaser (including the information in the hypothetical calculation set forth in Section 3.7(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule). (b) The Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount as determined pursuant to Section 3.7(a) shall be paid by LP Canada as an adjustment to the portion of the Purchase Price applicable to the Fiber Assets, on the Fiber Transfer Date to an account designated in writing by the Purchaser. (c) If the Purchaser disagrees with the Sellers’ calculation of the Fiber Shortfall Amount and such amount so paid to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.7(b), then the Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser’s receipt of the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount, deliver a Dispute Notice to the Sellers disagreeing with such calculation. The Dispute Notice will set forth the Purchaser’s objections, if any, to the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount in reasonable detail and the Purchaser’s calculation of the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount. The Dispute Notice shall specify the Disputed Items and all other matters included in the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount delivered by the Purchaser shall be deemed to be final and binding on the parties hereto. After timely delivery of the Dispute Notice by the Sellers, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Disputed Items, and any resolution by the Sellers and the Purchaser of such Disputed Items in writing shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.

-49- (d) If any Disputed Items cannot be resolved by the parties within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser delivers the Dispute Notice to the Sellers, such Disputed Items shall be referred to the Independent Accountant. Unless otherwise agreed, not later than thirty (30) days after the referral of any Disputed Items to the Independent Accountant, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall concurrently submit written statements to the Independent Accountant (with a copy to the other party) setting forth their respective positions regarding the Disputed Items that remain in dispute. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall instruct the Independent Accountant to render its decision resolving the dispute within thirty (30) days after submission of the written statements, and during such period, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Independent Accountant during normal business hours such employees, information, books and records as may be reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant to make its final determination. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accountant (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.7 and the definitions of Fiber Shortfall and Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount; (ii) shall limit its review to the Disputed Items submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution and not otherwise investigate matters independently; and (iii) shall further limit its review of the Disputed Items solely to whether the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount has been prepared in accordance with this Section 3.7 or contains any mathematical or clerical error. The determination of any Disputed Items cannot, however, be in excess of, or less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, claimed for any such item in the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount or the Dispute Notice. The Sellers and the Purchasers agree that the resolution by the Independent Accountant of any Disputed Items shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accountant hereunder shall be borne by the Sellers and the Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accountant, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accountant. The Sellers and the Purchasers agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 3.7 for resolving disputes with respect to the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes; provided, however, that the parties hereto agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accountant in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. (e) If, following resolution of any Disputed Items pursuant to Section 3.7(c) or Section 3.7(d) above, it is determined that an additional amount is due and payable by LP Canada to the Canadian Purchaser, such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account (or accounts) designated by the Purchaser (at least two (2) Business Days prior to such payment), as the case may be, on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the resolution of such Disputed Items. All payments made pursuant to this Section 3.7(e) shall be accompanied by interest at a rate equal to the Interest Rate from the Fiber Transfer Date through (but excluding) the date such payment is made. Any amounts payable by LP Canada pursuant to this Section 3.7(e) may not be reduced by set-off against any amount(s) payable (whether at such time or in the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the Purchasers or any Affiliate of the Purchasers to the Sellers or any Affiliates of the Sellers.

-50- (f) If the delivery deadline date for the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount or the Dispute Notice is a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable delivery deadline date shall be the immediately following Business Day. (g) Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Section 3.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, there is no general agreement among the parties to submit disputes under this Agreement to arbitration, it being understood that disputes with respect to the Fiber Shortfall Adjustment Amount shall be resolved solely in accordance with this Section 3.7 and the Independent Accountant shall serve as an expert, not as an arbitrator. (h) Other than as contemplated by Section 3.7(a), there shall be no adjustment of the Purchase Price or any amount payable by the Sellers to the Canadian Purchaser as a result of any reduction in the aggregate AAC of the Assumed Tenures that occurs before, on or after the Fiber Transfer. There shall be no adjustment of the Purchase Price or any amount payable by the Sellers to the Canadian Purchaser as a result of any event, occurrence or change with respect to the timber (including as a result of forest fires, infestation, drought, floods or ice damage, or change in Law) that occurs after the date of this Agreement that results in (i) a reduction in the value of the Assumed Tenures or the amount of timber available to harvest on the land covered by the Assumed Tenures or (ii) the inability of the Canadian Purchaser to access and harvest, or an increase in the cost to the Canadian Purchaser to access and harvest, the timber subject to the Assumed Tenures; provided, however, that if any such event, occurrence or change with respect to the timber that occurs after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Fiber Transfer Date is the result of any intentional, reckless or negligent act of, or any fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith by, any Sellers or any Affiliate thereof (or any of their respective Representatives), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.7(a) with the “Fiber Shortfall” for purposes of such calculation being the amount of the reduction of AAC of the Assumed Tenures (calculated in cubic meters and rounded up to the nearest 100) directly attributable thereto. Silviculture Adjustment of Purchase Price. The Sellers shall provide to the Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Fiber Transfer Date a written statement (the “Silviculture Statement”) setting forth the Sellers’ good faith calculation of the estimated Silviculture Liability as of the Closing Date Effective Time (the “Preliminary Silviculture Liability”) calculated consistently with the illustrative calculation of Silviculture Liability set forth in Section 3.8 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and consisting of only those specific line items included in Section 3.8 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and on the same basis as the Financial Statements. Following the delivery of the Silviculture Statement, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, the Sellers shall provide reasonable access to the Purchaser to all workpapers and other books and records utilized by the Sellers or their Representatives in the preparation of the Silviculture Statement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Purchaser those of its Representatives involved in the preparation of the Silviculture Statement. Prior to the Fiber Transfer Date, the Sellers shall promptly consider in good faith any comments of the Purchaser to the Silviculture Statement, and the Silviculture Statement shall be updated to reflect any changes thereto mutually agreed to by the parties; provided, that if no such mutual agreement is obtained, the Silviculture Statement as delivered by the Sellers shall be used for purposes of the Fiber Transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, any failure by the Purchaser to provide any such

-51- comments shall not affect, modify or otherwise prejudice in any way the Purchasers’ rights and remedies under this Agreement. If the Preliminary Silviculture Liability exceeds the Baseline Silviculture Liability, then the Sellers shall pay the amount of such difference to the Canadian Purchaser on the Fiber Transfer Date and if the Baseline Silviculture Liability exceeds the Preliminary Silviculture Liability, then the Canadian Purchaser shall pay the amount of such difference to LP Canada on the Fiber Transfer Date. The Silviculture Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a senior financial officer of Parent to the effect that the Preliminary Silviculture Liability has been calculated in good faith in accordance with this Section 3.8. To the extent that any foreign currency conversions are necessary in connection with the preparation of the Preliminary Silviculture Liability, such conversions shall be consistent with the method for conversion of foreign currency as used by Parent in preparation of its audited financial statements using the applicable exchange rate as of the date immediately prior to the date of the Silviculture Statement. Final Silviculture Liability; Adjustment of Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price. (a) Within thirty (30) days after the Fiber Transfer Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Silviculture Adjustment”) setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the Silviculture Liability as of the Closing Date Effective Time (the “Final Silviculture Liability”) prepared consistently with the calculation of the Silviculture Liability set forth on Section 3.8 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and consisting only those specific line items included in the calculation of Silviculture Liability set forth on Section 3.8 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (including the review, in accordance with past practice, by a Transferred Employee, who is a Registered Professional Forester, of the cut blocks under the Assumed Tenures immediately after the Closing Date Effective Time) and on the same basis as the Financial Statements. The Silviculture Adjustment shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a senior financial officer of the Purchaser to the effect that the Post-Closing Adjustment has been prepared in good faith in accordance with this Section 3.9. To the extent that any foreign currency conversions are necessary in connection with the preparation of the Final Silviculture Liability, such conversions shall be consistent with the method for conversion of foreign currency as used by Parent in the preparation of its audited financial statements using the applicable exchange rate as of the Fiber Transfer Date. (b) During the thirty (30) day period following delivery of the Silviculture Adjustment, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, the Purchaser shall provide reasonable access to the Sellers to all workpapers and other books and records utilized by the Purchaser or its Representatives in the preparation of the Silviculture Adjustment and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Sellers those of its Representatives involved in the preparation of the Silviculture Adjustment. (c) If the Sellers disagree with the Purchaser’s calculation of the Final Silviculture Liability, the Sellers shall, within thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Silviculture Adjustment, deliver a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser disagreeing with such calculation. The Dispute Notice will set forth the Sellers’ objections, if any, to the Silviculture Adjustment in reasonable detail and the Sellers’ calculation of the Silviculture Liability. The Dispute Notice shall specify the Disputed Items and all other matters included in the Silviculture Adjustment

-52- delivered by the Purchaser shall be deemed to be final and binding on the parties hereto. After timely delivery of the Dispute Notice by the Sellers, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Disputed Items, and any resolution by the Sellers and the Purchaser of such Disputed Items in writing shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. (d) If any Disputed Items cannot be resolved by the parties within thirty (30) days after the Sellers deliver the Dispute Notice to the Purchaser, such Disputed Items shall be referred to the Independent Accountant. Unless otherwise agreed, not later than thirty (30) days after the referral of any Disputed Items to the Independent Accountant, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall concurrently submit written statements to the Independent Accountant (with a copy to the other party) setting forth their respective positions regarding the Disputed Items that remain in dispute. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall instruct the Independent Accountant to render its decision resolving the dispute within thirty (30) days after submission of the written statements, and during such period, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Independent Accountant during normal business hours such employees, information, books and records as may be reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant to make its final determination. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accountant (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.9 and the definitions of Silviculture Liability, Preliminary Silviculture Liability and Final Silviculture Liability; (ii) shall limit its review to the Disputed Items submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution and not otherwise investigate matters independently; and (iii) shall further limit its review of the Disputed Items solely to whether the Silviculture Adjustment has been prepared in accordance with this Section 3.9 or contains any mathematical or clerical error. The determination of any Disputed Items cannot, however, be in excess of, or less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, claimed for any such item in the Silviculture Adjustment or the Dispute Notice. The Sellers and the Purchasers agree that the resolution by the Independent Accountant of any Disputed Items shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accountant hereunder shall be borne by the Sellers and the Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accountant, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accountant. The Sellers and the Purchasers agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 3.9 for resolving disputes with respect to the Final Silviculture Liability and the Silviculture Adjustment shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes; provided, however, that the parties hereto agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accountant in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. (e) If the Final Silviculture Liability as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.9 (i) is more than the Preliminary Silviculture Liability, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of such shortfall, and LP Canada shall pay, or cause to be paid, such amount to the Canadian Purchaser, as an adjustment to the portion of the Purchase Price applicable to the Fiber Assets; or (ii) is less than the Preliminary Silviculture Liability, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and the Canadian Purchaser shall pay such amount to LP Canada, as an adjustment to the portion of the Purchase Price applicable to the Fiber Assets. Any such payment pursuant to the preceding sentence will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account (or accounts) designated by the Purchaser or the

-53- Sellers (at least two (2) Business Days prior to such payment), as the case may be, on the later of (A) the fifth (5th) Business Day after acceptance or deemed acceptance by the Sellers of the Silviculture Adjustment (as contemplated by Section 3.9(c) above) or (B) the fifth (5th) Business Day following resolution of any Disputed Items (as contemplated by Section 3.9(c) or Section 3.9(d) above). All payments made pursuant to this Section 3.9(e) shall be accompanied by interest at a rate equal to the Interest Rate from the Fiber Transfer Date through (but excluding) the date such payment is made. Any amounts payable by either party pursuant to this Section 3.9(e) may not be reduced by set-off against any amount(s) payable (whether at such time or in the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the recipient or any Affiliate of the recipient to the payor or any Affiliates of the payor. (f) The determination and allocation of the total consideration (including the treatment of any payments made pursuant to Section 3.7, Section 3.8 and Section 3.9) paid for the Fiber Assets shall be as provided for in Section 2.5. (g) If the delivery deadline date for the Silviculture Adjustment or the Dispute Notice is a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable delivery deadline date shall be the immediately following Business Day. (h) Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Section 3.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, there is no general agreement among the parties to submit disputes under this Agreement to arbitration, it being understood that disputes with respect to the Silviculture Adjustment shall be resolved solely in accordance with this Section 3.9 and the Independent Accountant shall serve as an expert, not as an arbitrator.

Financial Information. (a) True, correct and complete copies of the Financial Statements have been made available to the Purchaser and are included in Section 1.80 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule. The Financial Statements were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Parent using the same basis of accounting and represent, in all material respects, the financial position and income of the Business as of the dates and for the periods covered thereby. It is understood and agreed that the Financial Statements do not include certain items such as taxes and interest and are qualified by the fact that the Business has not operated as a separate stand- alone business or entity, and therefore the Financial Statements, which were prepared solely for purposes of this Agreement, may not represent the shared services, overhead and other costs necessary for the Business to operate as a separate stand-alone business or entity. Furthermore, the Financial Statements do not contain all required statements and disclosures required by GAAP. (b) Each Seller has implemented and maintains (i) books and records reflecting its assets and liabilities that are accurate in all material respects and (ii) such internal accounting controls as are reasonably necessary (A) to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and (B) to ensure that all transactions have been accurately recorded in the accounting records of such Seller for the correct period and are reflected in the financial statements of such Seller for such period. Since January 1, 2019, no director or officer of any Seller or, to Sellers’ Knowledge, non-officer employee, external auditor, external accountant or similar authorized representative of such Seller has received or otherwise been made aware of any material complaint, allegation or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of such Seller or its internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation or claim that such Seller has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices. (c) The Business has not incurred any Liabilities of any nature whatsoever, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, or otherwise, other than (i) as reflected and specifically stated in the Financial Statements and the supporting accounting records, (ii) Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Balance Sheet Date and do not relate to any breach of Contract, violation of Law or tort claims, (iii) future obligations arising under the Transferred Contracts, the Transferred IP Agreements, Assumed Tenures and Timber Harvesting Contracts (in each case under this clause (iii), other than Liabilities arising in connection with any failure to perform, improper performance, warranty or other breach, default or violation), (iv) Excluded Liabilities of a nature that would not be required to be disclosed, reflected or reserved on a

-56- balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP; or (v) Liabilities that would not be, and would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Business. No Material Adverse Effect; Absence of Certain Developments. (a) Since the Balance Sheet Date, there has not occurred any Material Adverse Effect or Effect that, individually or in combination with any other Effect, is or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. (b) Except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, since the Balance Sheet Date, the Business has been operated in the ordinary course of business. (c) Since the Balance Sheet Date, there has not been any action, inaction or other event or occurrence that would have required Purchaser’s consent pursuant to Section 6.1 had it occurred after the date hereof. Litigation. Except as set forth in Section 4.6 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, as of the date of this Agreement, there is no Action by or against a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and specifically relating to the Business, the Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities pending or, to the Sellers’ Knowledge, threatened, that would be, or would reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Business or, would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Compliance with Laws; Governmental Orders. (a) The Sellers (and, as applicable, their Subsidiaries) are conducting, and during the past five (5) years have conducted, the Business, in all material respects, in accordance with all Laws and Governmental Orders applicable to the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, including (i) all Laws and Governmental Orders related to the harvest and export and substitution of raw logs pursuant to 16 USC § 620 et seq., 36 CFR § 223.48, and 36 CFR 223.159 et seq. and (ii) the Lacey Act, 16 USC §§3371 – 3378, and other applicable export control Laws. To the Knowledge of the Sellers, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that (with or without notice or lapse of time) would reasonably be expected to constitute or result in a violation by the Sellers of, or a failure on the part of the Sellers to comply with, any Law or any Governmental Order in connection with the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities which violation or failure to comply would reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Business. No investigation by any Governmental Authority regarding a violation of any such Law or any Governmental Order is pending or, to the Sellers’ Knowledge, threatened. (b) Section 4.7(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all outstanding Governmental Orders applicable to the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. The Sellers (and, as applicable, their Subsidiaries) are in compliance in all material respects with the terms of each such outstanding Governmental Order.

The Business conducts no business activity with any Sanctioned Person. (e) Each Seller and any Subsidiary thereof has policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Business with applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery and anti-money laundering Laws and Sanctions.

The Sellers have, and immediately after the Closing, Purchaser will have, all necessary licenses, rights, permissions and authorizations to use the material In- Licensed Intellectual Property in the manner used in or necessary for the conduct of the Business as currently conducted and as currently contemplated to be conducted in all material respects.

There has been no Action or written claim (including in the form of cease and desist letters or invitations to license) against the Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries pending or, to the Knowledge of the Sellers, threatened which, in respect of the Business, (i) alleges any infringement, misappropriation, misuse or violation of any Intellectual Property of a third party, (ii) invites such Seller or such Subsidiary to take a license under any Intellectual Property of a third party or consider the applicability of any Intellectual Property of a third party to the conduct of the Business or (iii) challenges or seeks to deny or restrict the ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any Transferred Intellectual Property or the rights of any of the Sellers or their Subsidiaries in any of the Transferred Intellectual Property. Neither a Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has filed or threatened any Action or made any written claim against any third party alleging any infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Transferred Intellectual Property in the past three (3) years.

In the event that any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives determines (with the advice of counsel) that the disclosure of any information relating to the Business is required by any applicable Law or Governmental Order, the applicable Seller shall (A) to the extent permissible by such applicable Law or Governmental Order, provide the Purchaser with prompt written notice of such requirement, (B) disclose (and cause their Affiliates and Representatives to disclose) only that information that such Seller determines (with the advice of counsel) is required by such applicable Law or Governmental Order to be disclosed and (C) use reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such information, including by, at the Purchaser’s request and expense, reasonably cooperating with the Purchaser to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. Third-Party Consents. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required to effect the transactions described in this Agreement and to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII and the conditions to the Fiber Transfer in Article IX and (b) provide all notices required under any Material Contract. Such consents, approvals, waivers and notices shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser. Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents. (a) Each of the Purchaser and each Seller and their respective Affiliates shall use its reasonable best efforts to, (i) promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (ii) cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals; and (iii) provide such other information to any Governmental Authority as such Governmental Authority may reasonably request in connection herewith. Each party hereto agrees to, and shall cause its respective Affiliates, as applicable, to make as promptly as reasonably practicable, (A) but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, its respective filing, if necessary, pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act, (B) but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) its respective filing with the Commissioner of a notification pursuant to Part IX of the Competition Act in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) a request that an ARC be issued and, if the Commissioner is unwilling to issue an ARC, a request that a No Action Letter be issued, and to supply as

-85- promptly as reasonably practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the Competition Act; and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, their respective filings and notifications, if any, pursuant to any other applicable Antitrust Law in the jurisdictions set forth on Section 8.1(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be reasonably requested pursuant to the applicable antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law; and (C) but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, a filing with the Minister of a notice of intended disposition signed by LP Canada and the Purchaser requesting the Minister’s approval pursuant to section 54(2)(a) of the Forest Act (British Columbia) of the transfer of the Assumed Tenures and related road permits to the Purchaser as contemplated herein. The Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay all filing fees required by applicable Law to be paid to any Governmental Authority in order to obtain any such authorizations, consents, orders or approvals, including the HSR Act and the Competition Act. (b) Without limiting the generality of the Purchaser’s undertaking pursuant to Section 6.5(a), but subject to Section 6.5(c), the Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law or national security Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents prior to the Termination Date, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, mitigation agreements, letters of assurance or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, licensing or other disposition of the Transferred Assets to be acquired by it pursuant hereto, and the entrance into such other arrangements, as are necessary in order to avoid the entry of, and the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, in each case under any Antitrust Law or national security Law, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents. (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require, or be construed to require, (i) the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to (and the Sellers shall not, and shall cause each of their relevant Affiliates not to, take any of the actions described in clauses (A)-(E) below without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except that the Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, take any such action requested by the Purchaser to the extent such action relates to the Business and the Transferred Assets (and not any other business of the Sellers) and is conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing), agree to (A) any sale, divestiture, license or other disposition (by consent decree, hold separate order, mitigation agreement, letter of assurance or otherwise) of any capital stock, businesses, assets (tangible or intangible), properties or other interests of the Purchaser, the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Transferred Assets), (B) the imposition of any limitation, restriction or condition on the ability of the Purchaser, the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates to conduct their respective businesses (including the Business) or own, acquire, hold or exercise rights of ownership of any capital stock, businesses, assets (tangible or intangible),

-86- properties or other interests (including the Transferred Assets), (C) the imposition of any limitation, restriction or condition on the Purchaser, the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates under any Antitrust Law or national security Law, (D) any modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or (E) take any other action, in each case unless such action affects only the Business and the Transferred Assets (and not any other business or assets of Purchaser, Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates) and such action would not reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Transferred Assets (including the Assumed Tenures and Fiber Assets) or the Business or on the benefits that Purchaser reasonably anticipates from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any action described in clause (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) above to which the Purchaser is not required to agree, a “Burdensome Condition”), or (ii) the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to litigate with or otherwise participate in any Action with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining any consent pursuant to this Agreement. (d) Each party shall not extend or consent to any extension of any applicable waiting or review period or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority to not consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, except upon the prior consent of the other party. Each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other party of any substantive communication it or any of its Representatives receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed substantive communication by such party to any Governmental Authority. None of the parties to this Agreement shall, or shall permit its outside counsel to, be present or participate in any substantive call, discussion or meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of an investigation), litigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance, and unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such call, discussion or meeting. Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party hereto may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Each party to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its outside counsel, to provide the other party’s outside counsel with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between the parties or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business and competitively sensitive information; (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Law; and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Sellers shall, except where prohibited by applicable Law, work cooperatively in determining the strategy for dealing with any Governmental Authority regarding the application of any Antitrust Laws to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (e) Except as permitted pursuant to this Section 6.5, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any transaction, or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that would reasonably be expected to make it materially more difficult, or to materially increase the time required, to (i) obtain the expiration or

-87- termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, or any other applicable Antitrust Law, applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; (ii) obtain Competition Act Approval; (iii) avoid the entry of, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents; or (iv) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Retained Names and Marks. (a) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that all right, title and interest in and to the “LP” and “LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORPORATION” names and the Louisiana-Pacific or LP logo, together with all Trademarks owned by the Sellers and set forth on Section 6.6 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and any other Trademarks owned by the Sellers and included in the Excluded Assets (collectively, the “Retained Names and Marks”), are owned solely by the Sellers or their Subsidiaries, and that, except as expressly provided in this Section 6.6, any and all right of the Business to use the Retained Names and Marks shall terminate as of the Closing and shall immediately revert to the Sellers, along with any and all Goodwill associated therewith. The Purchaser further acknowledges that neither the Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries is acquiring any rights on or after the Closing Date, to use the Retained Names and Marks, except as provided in Section 6.6(b). (b) The Purchaser shall, for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, be entitled to use the Retained Names and Marks, solely in connection with the operation of the Business as operated immediately prior to the Closing Date, after which period the Purchaser shall remove or obliterate all Retained Names and Marks set forth on Section 6.6 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules or in respect of which Sellers provide reasonable notice to Purchaser that are visible on the Transferred Assets and on any other assets and materials under the control or possession of the Purchaser that contain such Retained Names and Marks, it being understood that (i) the Purchaser shall not be required to cease using, or be required to remove, conceal, cover, redact or replace Retained Names and Marks from existing stocks of signs, letterheads, labels, office forms, invoice stock and other documents and materials or any Transferred IT Assets or Transferred Software, in each case, that are used solely for internal purposes for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; (ii) the Purchaser shall have the right to use the Retained Names and Marks in connection with the sale of any existing inventory of products of the Business bearing such Retained Names and Marks (“Existing Stock”) for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; and (iii) nothing herein shall prevent, restrict or otherwise limit the Purchaser from (A) stating the historical relationship between the Business and the Sellers for informational purposes (and in a non-trademark manner) or otherwise using the Retained Names and Marks in a descriptive, factually accurate manner, or (B) making any use of the Retained Names and Marks that (x) would constitute “fair use” or otherwise not be prohibited under applicable Law if such use were made by a third party, or (y) is otherwise required under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all such public-facing materials bearing the Retained Names and Marks and used in connection with the sale of Existing Stock hereunder following the Closing

-88- shall, to the extent practicable, display a notice, in a format reasonably acceptable to the Sellers, indicating that the Business (i) was formerly owned by the Sellers; and (ii) is now owned and operated by the Purchaser. (c) Except as expressly provided in this Section 6.6, no other right to use the Retained Names and Marks is granted hereunder by the Sellers to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates whether by implication or otherwise, and nothing hereunder permits the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to use the Retained Names and Marks in any manner other than as permitted above. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all uses of the Retained Names and Marks provided in this Section 6.6 shall be only with respect to goods and services of a level of quality similar to the quality of goods and services with respect to which the Retained Names and Marks were used in the Business prior to the Closing. Any and all Goodwill generated by the use of the Retained Names and Marks under this Section 6.6 shall inure solely to the benefit of the Sellers. In no event shall the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates use the Retained Names and Marks hereunder in any manner that may reasonably be expected to damage or tarnish the reputation of the Sellers or the Goodwill associated with the Retained Names and Marks. (d) The Purchaser agrees that the Sellers shall have no responsibility for claims by third parties arising out of, or relating to, the use by the Purchaser and its Affiliates of any Retained Names and Marks after the Closing Date. In addition to any and all other available remedies, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all such claims that may arise out of the use of the Retained Names and Marks set forth on Section 6.6 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules or in respect of which Sellers provide reasonable notice to Purchaser by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in violation of or outside the scope permitted by this Section 6.6. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.6, the Sellers, in addition to any other remedies available to them, shall be entitled to seek a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order or other equivalent relief restraining the Purchaser and any of its Affiliates from any such breach or threatened breach. Other Intellectual Property Matters. (a) Promptly following the Closing Date (but in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date), the Sellers shall, and shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, in each case, to the extent in the possession or control of a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and not already located within the Manufacturing Facilities, true, correct and complete copies of original registration certificates, ribbon copies and litigation or prosecution files and dockets relating to each item of Registered Intellectual Property. (b) Promptly following the Closing Date (but in any event within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date), the Sellers shall, and shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, in each case, to the extent in the possession or control of a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and not already located within the Manufacturing Facilities, embodiments of all Transferred Intellectual Property, including the Transferred Software and Trade Secrets included therein, together with any documentation, data and

-89- information for each of the foregoing items. Without limiting the foregoing, if, during or following the foregoing ninety (90) day period, Purchaser identifies any of the foregoing items that should have been delivered to Purchaser, the applicable Seller shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, such item to the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Sellers nor any of their Subsidiaries shall have any obligation to create and/or develop any embodiments of Transferred Intellectual Property that are not already in existence as of the Closing Date. (c) As of and following the Closing, Sellers and their Subsidiaries (i) shall not use any Transferred Intellectual Property (except to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 6.7(d)) and (ii) shall protect the confidentiality of any Trade Secrets included in the Transferred Intellectual Property in a manner consistent with how the Sellers and their Subsidiaries protect similar Trade Secrets owned by the Sellers or one of their Subsidiaries, but shall take no less than reasonable care, including by entering into written confidentiality agreements as applicable. None of the Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries shall interfere with the Purchaser’s efforts to apply for, register, defend or enforce registrations for, and rights in, the Transferred Intellectual Property worldwide. (d) The Purchaser hereby grants to the Sellers a non-exclusive, perpetual, fully paid- up, non-sublicensable (other than to (i) Sellers’ Affiliates and (ii) its and their service providers solely for the provision of services to the Sellers’ retained businesses), non-transferrable (other than in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Sellers’ retained businesses), license to use (subject to Section 6.7(c)) any Transferred Intellectual Property (excluding any Trademarks) used in the Sellers’ retained businesses as of the Closing solely in the field of the Sellers’ retained businesses in which such Transferred Intellectual Property was used as of the Closing and natural evolutions thereof (but in any event, outside the field of the Business and natural evolutions thereof). The Sellers hereby grant to the Purchaser a non- exclusive, fully paid-up, non-sublicensable (other than to (i) the Purchaser’s Affiliates and (ii) its and their service providers solely for the provision of services to the Business), non-transferrable (other than in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Business), license to use all Intellectual Property used in the Business as of the Closing, excluding Transferred Intellectual Property and In-Licensed Intellectual Property, solely in the field of the Business and natural evolutions thereof. (e) Prior to Closing, the Sellers shall, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonably efforts to promptly (i) obtain a release, in a form reasonably approved by Purchaser, with respect to the security interest in favor of Bank of America, N.A. that is currently on record against the Trademark set forth on Section 4.8(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) file such release with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, and if such release has not been obtained or filed as of Closing, Sellers shall, after the Closing, use commercially reasonably efforts to promptly obtain or file such release. Insurance. (a) From and after the Closing Date, the Closing Assets and the Business (other than with respect to the Fiber Assets) shall cease to be insured by the Sellers’ insurance policies or by any of its self-insured programs.

-90- (b) From and after the Fiber Transfer Date, the Fiber Assets and the Business related to the Fiber Assets shall cease to be insured by the Sellers’ insurance policies or by any of its self-insured programs. (c) For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 6.8(d), the Sellers shall retain all rights to control their insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of their insurance policies and programs notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Liabilities of the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Business and the Purchaser covering all periods and agrees not to seek, through any means, to benefit from the Sellers’ insurance policies that may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the Business or the Transferred Assets prior to the Closing; provided, that this Section 6.7 shall not be construed to limit the Purchaser’s rights to indemnification by the Sellers granted under this Agreement. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7, in the event that, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, there shall occur any material damage, theft or similar loss with respect to any Closing Asset, or between the date of this Agreement and the Fiber Transfer Date, there shall occur any material damage, theft or loss with respect to any Fiber Asset, then (i) the Sellers shall promptly give notice to the Purchaser thereof, including the Sellers’ estimate of the amount of casualty insurance (if any) payable in respect thereof, and (ii) at the Purchaser’s request (which request may be made prior to or after the Closing or the Fiber Transfer), the Sellers and their Affiliates shall (A) use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly collect any amounts due under any relevant existing insurance policies in connection therewith and (B) remit such amounts to the Purchaser on the Closing Date or (if collected after the Closing Date) promptly following receipt thereof. The Sellers shall have no obligation to obtain insurance coverage in addition to the coverage that exists on the date hereof. Employees. (a) With respect to Represented Employees, the Purchaser acknowledges that, as of the Closing, the Canadian Purchaser will be the successor employer to LP Canada under the Labour Relations Code (British Columbia) including being bound by all Labor Agreements and Union Benefit Plans. (b) Except as set forth in Section 1.20(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, with respect to Business Employees that are not Represented Employees (the “Non-Union Business Employees”), prior to and effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to each Non-Union Business Employee who (i) is actively employed on such date or is absent from employment on such date, including absence due to vacation, temporary illness or quarantine (the “Current Employees”) or (ii) (A) is absent from work due to an authorized leave of absence (including a leave of absence due to a short-term or long-term disability, workers’ compensation or a leave required under applicable Law) and (B) has the right to return to employment following expiration of such absence under applicable Law, effective as of the expiration of the leave (the “Leave Employees” and, together with the Current Employees, the “Closing Date Employees”); provided, that, solely with respect to Leave Employees who reside and work in the United States (“US Leave Employees”), such US Leave

-91- Employee is able to return to work as of such expiration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a US Leave Employee’s leave period shall have expired and such US Leave Employee shall have returned to active employment status within six (6) months of the Closing Date or such longer period as is required by applicable Law in order for Purchaser to be required to extend an offer of employment to such US Leave Employee pursuant to this Section 6.9(b). All such offers of employment to (1) Current Employees shall provide for employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser to commence effective as of 12:00 a.m., local time, on the day immediately following the Closing Date and (2) Leave Employees shall provide for employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser to commence at 12:00 a.m., local time, on the day immediately following the expiration of such Leave Employees’ authorized leave. All such offers of employment shall be made consistent with the requirements of Section 6.9(c) and otherwise in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 6.9; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary each such offer shall, as permitted by applicable Law, be subject to such Non-Union Business Employee’s completion of the Purchaser’s background checks and other onboarding processes consistent with the Purchaser’s customary practice. More specifically, with respect to Closing Date Employees who reside and work in Canada (the “Canadian Closing Date Employees”), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to offer each Canadian Closing Date Employee, at least seven (7) Business Days in advance of the Closing Date, terms and conditions of employment that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Canadian Closing Date Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, including employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the employee benefits (including but not limited to any tax qualified retirement or savings plan but excluding any equity or equity based incentive, retiree medical or defined benefit pension benefits) provided or made available by the Sellers and their Subsidiaries to such Canadian Closing Date Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. Each Closing Date Employee who accepts an offer of employment from the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and commences employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser and each Represented Employee employed by any of the Sellers immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”; provided, however, that a Leave Employee shall be treated as a Transferred Employee upon the expiration of the Leave Employee’s authorized leave. A Current Employee who arrives at his or her then applicable place of employment in the Business on the first Business Day immediately following the Closing Date shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have accepted the offer from the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates. Offers pursuant to this Section 6.9(b) to Non-Union Business Employees who reside and work in the United States shall, at the Sellers’ request, make employment contingent upon such Transferred Employees’ waiver of any and all claims and rights to severance in connection with the transfer of employment that such Transferred Employees may have against the Sellers or their Affiliates. The date a Transferred Employee commences, or is deemed to commence, employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser shall be referred to herein as the “Transfer Date.” With respect to any Non-Union Business Employees who reside and work in the United States set forth on Section 1.20(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule who decline an offer of employment from the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 6.9(b), the Sellers shall terminate the employment of such Non-Union Business Employee effective as of the Closing and the Sellers shall not be permitted to rehire any such Non-Union Business Employee for the one (1) year period following the Closing Date or, with respect to a Leave Employee the one (1) year period following the expiration of such Leave Employee’s authorized leave.

-92- (c) With respect to Transferred Employees who are not Represented Employees and who reside and work in the United States (the “US Non-Union Transferred Employees”), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide each US Non-Union Transferred Employee (solely to the extent such US Non-Union Transferred Employees remain employed by the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates) (i) for the one-year period immediately following the Closing Date, an annual base salary (or in case of an hourly employee, a base hourly wage rate) and annual target cash bonus incentive opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such US Non-Union Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2022, employee benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, to the employee benefits (including any tax qualified retirement or savings plan covering such Non-Union Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, but excluding any equity or equity based incentive, retiree medical or defined benefit pension benefits) provided or made available by the Sellers and their Subsidiaries to such US Non-Union Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, that the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to provide any defined benefit retirement benefits to or in respect of any US Non-Union Transferring Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contemplated by this Agreement shall be construed as requiring either the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment of any US Non-Union Transferred Employee for any period on or after the Closing Date. With respect to Transferred Employees who are not Represented Employees and who reside and work in Canada (the “Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees”), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2022 (solely to the extent such Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees remain employed by the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates) provide each Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employee with terms and conditions of employment that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, including employee benefits (including but not limited to any tax qualified retirement or savings plan, but excluding any equity or equity based incentive, retiree medical or defined benefit pension benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the benefits provided or made available by the Sellers and their Subsidiaries to such Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees immediately prior the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contemplated by this Agreement shall be construed as requiring either the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment of any Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employee for any period on or after the Closing Date. (d) With respect to each US Non-Union Transferred Employee and each Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employee (together, the “Non-Union Transferred Employees”), for the one-year period immediately following the Closing Date, the Purchaser or its Affiliates shall provide severance benefits to each Non-Union Transferred Employee equal to, and on the same terms and conditions as, the severance benefits applicable to such Non-Union Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, as set forth on Section 6.9(d) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, after taking into account any service that such Non-Union Transferred Employee has with the Purchaser or its Affiliates as of the date of such termination of employment, including, for the avoidance of doubt, service credited under Section 6.9(f). (e) With respect to the Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees and the Canadian Union Transferred Employees, if required, the Sellers agree to provide the Purchaser

-93- with certain transition services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services”). The nature, duration, and price of the Transition Services shall be negotiated in good faith and agreed to by the Parties and will include, subject to third-party consent, the provision of payroll services (which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, the making of employer and employee contributions to the Union Benefit Plans in respect of the Canadian Union Transferred Employees) and, with respect to the Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees, benefits under the Seller Benefit Plans, to ensure continuity of compensation and benefits for the Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees and the Canadian Union Transferred Employees who are continuing their employment with the Purchaser on the Transfer Date. The Purchasers will use their reasonable best efforts to establish: (i) payroll services for the Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees and the Canadian Union Transferred Employees and (ii) Purchaser Benefit Plans for the Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees prior to Closing such that the Purchaser will be and remain in compliance with its obligations vis-à-vis the Canadian Non- Union Transferred Employees and Canadian Union Transferred Employees pursuant to Section 6.9(b) and Section 6.9(c) in respect of the terms and conditions of employment. The parties will cooperate in good faith prior to Closing to ensure continuity of compensation and benefits for the Canadian Non-Union Transferred Employees and the Canadian Union Transferred Employees who are continuing their employment with the Canadian Purchaser on the Transfer Date. (f) Except as provided for in the Transition Services Agreement, the Non-Union Transferred Employees shall cease to accrue further benefits under the Seller Benefit Plans as of the Transfer Date. With respect to each Non-Union Transferred Employee, effective from and after the Transfer Date, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) recognize, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals (except under a defined benefit plan) under the Purchaser Benefit Plans to which such Non-Union Transferred Employee is participating and for purposes of eligibility for and calculation of vacation, sick days and severance benefits under all plans, programs and arrangements established or maintained by the Purchaser or its Affiliates in which such Non-Union Transferred Employee participates, service with the Sellers and their Subsidiaries prior to the Transfer Date to the same extent such service was recognized under comparable Seller Benefit Plans, except as would result in the duplication of benefits, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under all employee health and other welfare benefit plans established or maintained by the Purchaser or its Affiliates in which such Non- Union Transferred Employee participates, and (B) provide full credit for any co-payments, deductibles or similar payments made or incurred by such Non-Union Transferred Employee prior to the Transfer Date under the corresponding Seller Benefit Plan (if any), covering such Non-Union Transferred Employee with respect to all employee health and other welfare benefit plans established or operated by the Purchaser or its Affiliates in which such Non-Union Transferred Employees participates (other than flexible spending accounts) for the plan year in which the Transfer Date occurs. (g) The Sellers shall pay to each US Non-Union Transferred Employee of the Manufacturing Facility in Red Bluff, California, or who is otherwise a resident of the State of California, an amount equal to the balance of such US Non-Union Transferred Employee’s accrued and unused paid time off (which, for clarity, only includes vacation for any Business Employees in California) (“PTO Balance”) as of the Transfer Date. Effective as of the Transfer Date and other than the PTO Balance, the Purchaser shall assume, honor, pay and perform all

-94- obligations of the Seller and its Affiliates for all accrued but unused paid time off with respect to each Non-Union Transferred Employee to the extent such accrued but unused paid time off is treated as Indebtedness for purposes hereof. (h) As of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall permit each Non-Union Transferred Employee who was eligible to participate in a defined contribution plan sponsored by the Sellers or one of their Subsidiaries that is intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) to elect to rollover to a defined contribution plan sponsored by the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates that is intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”), each such Non-Union Transferred Employee’s account balance when distributed from the Seller 401(k) Plan, including, to the extent permitted by the terms of Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan, any outstanding participant loans from the Seller 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall take any action necessary to ensure that the accounts of each Transferred Employee under any Seller 401(k) Plan shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable. (i) The Sellers agree to provide any required notice under, and otherwise comply with, the WARN Act with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” or group termination or similar event affecting Business Employees (including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) and occurring on or prior to the Closing. The Purchaser agrees to provide any required notice under, and otherwise comply with, the WARN Act with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” or group termination or similar event affecting Transferred Employees and occurring after the Closing. (j) The Sellers shall retain all liability for any compensation under the Sellers’ annual incentive compensation and short-term bonus programs (collectively, “Sellers’ Annual Incentive Programs”) that accrues in the period prior to the Closing Date and, notwithstanding the terms and conditions of the Sellers’ Annual Incentive Programs, shall pay each Transferred Employee that participates in any of Sellers’ Annual Incentive Programs an incentive compensation or bonus amount, as applicable, (which, with respect to any such incentive compensation or bonus that consists of profit sharing, on a pro rata basis), as reasonably determined by the Sellers consistent with the terms of such Annual Incentive Programs and any accruals thereunder, in respect of the period through the Closing Date. With respect to any payment due pursuant to this Section 6.9(j), the Sellers shall make such payment to the Transferred Employee on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date. (k) Nothing in this Section 6.9, express or implied, shall (i) confer upon any Business Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement, (ii) be construed to prevent the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from terminating or modifying to any extent or in any respect any Purchaser Benefit Plan, (iii) amend, or be deemed to amend, any Plan (including any Purchaser Benefit Plan) or (iv) constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any Plan. (l) After the Closing Date, the Sellers and their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall cooperate in good faith with each other to provide such information regarding the Business Employees on an ongoing basis as may be

-95- reasonably necessary to facilitate and implement the intent of this Section 6.9, including determinations of eligibility for, and payments of benefits to, such employees and their spouses, dependents and beneficiaries, as applicable. The Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not disseminate any communications about employment to the Business Employees prior to the Closing Date without the prior written approval of the Sellers, and the Sellers shall not disseminate any such communications about employment offers without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which approval in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent either party from making any and all public disclosures legally required to comply with any applicable Laws; provided, that, each party shall provide the other party with advance notice as to the form and content of any such disclosures. Privileged Matters. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, Fasken ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ DuMoulin LLP and any other legal counsel currently representing the Sellers or any of their Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (each, “LP Counsel”) has acted as counsel to the Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The following provisions apply to the attorney-client relationship between (a) the Sellers and LP Counsel prior to Closing and (b) the Sellers and LP Counsel following Closing. The Purchaser agrees that (i) it will not seek to disqualify LP Counsel from acting and continuing to act as counsel to the Sellers either in the event of a dispute hereunder or in the course of the defense or prosecution of any claim relating to the transactions contemplated herein because of LP Counsel’s representation of the Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated herein; and (ii) the Sellers have a reasonable expectation of privacy with respect to the Sellers’ communications (including any e-mail communications using the Sellers’ e-mail systems) with LP Counsel to the extent such communications concern the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. The parties furthermore agree that for the purposes of the attorney- client privilege, any communications between LP Counsel and the Sellers that were made in the course of negotiating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement or that may be relevant to any claims for indemnification under this Agreement or any other dispute arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (“Protected Communications”) shall be deemed privileged communications of the Sellers for the purposes of such claims or disputes, and to the extent that they may not be considered as such at law, the parties hereto agree to contractually treat such Protected Communications as if they were privileged communications of the Sellers. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that any inadvertent disclosure to, or access by, the Purchaser of any Protected Communications will not prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of any claim of such privilege or protection by the Sellers regarding the Protected Communications. Upon becoming aware of the inadvertent disclosure, the Purchaser shall promptly return to the Sellers the inadvertently disclosed information that may be subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product protection.

-96- Further Action. From time to time after the Closing or Fiber Transfer Date, as the case may be, without additional consideration, each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such other action as may be necessary or is reasonably requested by the other party hereto to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon reasonable request of a party hereto, the other party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further assurances, deeds, assignments, consequences, powers of attorney and other instruments and papers as may be required for the transfer to the Purchaser ownership of the Transferred Assets, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, and the assumption by the Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities, as contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Misdirected Payments; Wrong Pockets. If a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, after the Closing Date receives (a) any funds properly belonging to the other party or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, as applicable, including under any Shared Contract, the receiving party will promptly so advise such other party and will promptly deliver such funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by such other party (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that there is no right of offset with respect to such funds, whether in connection with a dispute under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise) or (b) mail, courier package, facsimile transmission, purchase order, invoice, service request or other document intended for or otherwise the property of the other party or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, as applicable, the receiving party will promptly so advise such other party and will promptly deliver such received item to such other party. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall have the right and authority to collect for its own account all receivables and other related items that are included in the Transferred Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event that the Purchaser, any of the Purchaser’s Affiliates, any Seller or any Subsidiary of a Seller discovers following the Closing that (a) any Transferred Asset was inadvertently not transferred and delivered to the Purchaser at the Closing, the applicable Seller shall promptly transfer and deliver such Transferred Asset to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) any Excluded Asset was inadvertently transferred to the Purchaser at the Closing, the Purchaser shall promptly transfer such Excluded Asset back to the applicable Seller. RWI Policy. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof may obtain, at the Purchaser’s sole expense, a representation and warranty insurance policy (a “RWI Policy”). To the extent the Purchaser obtains an RWI Policy, any such RWI Policy shall include a provision whereby the insurer expressly waives, and irrevocably agrees not to pursue (subject to a customary exception for Fraud), directly or indirectly, any subrogation rights against the Sellers or any direct or indirect shareholder, member, director, officer or partner (or the functional equivalent of any such position) or employee of the Sellers with respect to any claim

-97- made by any insured thereunder and such Persons shall be express third party beneficiaries of such provision. The Purchaser shall not waive, amend, modify or otherwise revise this subrogation provision under the RWI Policy, or allow such provision to be waived, amended, modified or otherwise revised by any other Person, in each case, without the Sellers’ prior written consent, which the Sellers may grant or withhold in their sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser or its Affiliate obtaining the RWI Policy is not a condition to the Closing. Replacement of Security. (a) The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace as of the Fiber Transfer Date all existing security deposits/bonds, letters of credit and Tenure Deposits in the name of the Sellers relating exclusively to the Business, (i) listed in Section 6.14 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedules or (ii) entered into by the Sellers between the date hereof and the Fiber Transfer Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with prior written notice to the Purchaser (collectively (i) and (ii), the “Security Bonds”). The Sellers shall provide all reasonable cooperation requested by the Purchaser in connection therewith. (b) With respect to any Security Bonds which cannot be replaced by the Purchaser using commercially reasonable efforts at the Fiber Transfer (collectively, “Nominated Security Bonds”), notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Nominated Security Bonds shall not be replaced; and from the Fiber Transfer Date until such time as their replacement is possible: (i) the Purchaser shall apply for and use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Nominated Security Bonds, at its sole cost and expense, as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Sellers shall provide all reasonable cooperation requested by the Purchaser in connection therewith; (ii) the Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay, satisfy, discharge, assume, perform and fulfill in a timely manner any and all liabilities and obligations arising and accruing after the Fiber Transfer Date in connection with the Nominated Security Bonds, including to pay the fees relating thereto and other related costs incurred by the Sellers to maintain the Nominated Security Bonds after the Fiber Transfer Date, in each case solely to the extent such liabilities and obligations constitute Assumed Fiber Liabilities; (iii) the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Sellers harmless from and against any Losses suffered or incurred after the Closing to the extent related to the Nominated Security Bonds remaining in place after the Fiber Transfer Date, unless such Losses constitute Excluded Liabilities; and (iv) the holding as agent by the Sellers of any of the Nominated Security Bonds shall not create a relationship of association, partnership or joint venture between the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand.

-98- Notification of Certain Matters. (a) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Sellers shall promptly notify the Purchaser of (i)) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; (iii) any Action commenced or threatened against any Seller or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; (iv) any failure of any Seller to comply in all material respects with any of its covenants or agreements hereunder; or (v) the occurrence of any event that could result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or Article IX becoming incapable of being satisfied or that is otherwise materially adverse to the Business; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice by any Seller and the information or knowledge obtained by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.15 shall not (A) operate as a waiver or affect or be deemed to affect or modify any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Closing in Article VIII or consummate the Fiber Transfer in Article IX or otherwise prejudice in any way the rights and remedies of the Purchaser hereunder, including pursuant to Article X, (B) be deemed to affect or modify the Purchaser’s reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by any Seller in this Agreement or (C) be deemed to amend or supplement the Sellers Disclosure Schedule or prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant by any Seller. (b) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Sellers of (i) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; (iii) any Action commenced or threatened against the Purchaser or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; (iv) any failure of the Purchaser to comply in all material respects with any of its covenants or agreements hereunder; or (v) the occurrence of any event that could result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or Article IX becoming incapable of being satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice by the Purchaser and the information or knowledge obtained by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.15 shall not (A) operate as a waiver or affect or be deemed to affect or modify any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Closing in Article VIII or consummate the Fiber Transfer in Article IX or otherwise prejudice in any way the rights and remedies of the Sellers hereunder, including pursuant to Article X, (B) be deemed to affect or modify the Sellers’ reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or (C) prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant by the Purchaser. Forest Certifications. (a) Prior to and after the Closing, the Sellers shall cooperate with the Purchaser and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Purchaser, as and when reasonably requested by

-99- Purchaser and at the Purchaser’s expense, in facilitating and effecting the 90-day grace period with respect to each of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative certificates Nos. CERT-0136961, CERT-0136962, and CERT-0136968 (“SFI Certificates”) and the re-certification of the SFI Certificates in order to enable the Purchaser to benefit from and hold the SFI Certificates. (b) In the event that the Purchaser is required or desires to transfer or re-certify the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification certificate No. CERT-0136969 (“PEFC Certificate”), the Sellers, prior to and after the Closing, shall cooperate with the Purchaser and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s expense, as and when reasonably requested by the Purchaser, in facilitating and effecting such transfer or recertification of the PEFC Certificate. Negotiation of Other Documentation. Promptly following execution of this Agreement (and in any event prior to the Closing Date or, solely with respect to the Fiber Conveyance Documents, the Fiber Transfer Date), the Purchaser and the Sellers will prepare drafts of, negotiate in good faith, and mutually agree on the form of each of the definitive Transaction Documents (other than this Agreement and the Tenure Management and Fiber Supply Agreement). Notice of Known Liabilities as of the Closing Date. On the Closing Date (but prior to the Closing), the Sellers shall deliver a certificate of the Sellers signed by a duly authorized representative thereof dated as of the Closing Date describing in reasonable detail, and accompanied by reasonable backup documentation, all matters that are not in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule as of the date of this Agreement that, to Sellers’ Knowledge, (a) constitute a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Sellers in Article IV on and as of the date of this Agreement (except to the extent such representation or warranty was, by its terms, made as of a specific date, in which case on and as of such date) or (b) would constitute a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Sellers of Article IV as of the Closing Date if such representation or warranty were made on and as of the Closing Date (it being understood that for purposes of this clause (b) all such representations and warranties that, by their terms, were made as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made on and as of the Closing Date notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such representations and warranties, but all such representations that, by their terms, were made as of a date earlier than the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on and as of such date and not as of the Closing Date); provided, that for all purposes of this Section 6.18, all materiality, Material Adverse Effect and similar qualifiers in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded; provided, further, that the Sellers shall not be required to describe on such certificate any matter that constitutes, for purposes of the foregoing clause (b), a breach of a representation and warranty in the first sentence of Section 4.8(a), Section 4.10(a), Section 4.10(b), the first sentence of Section 4.10(c), Section 4.11(a), Section 4.13(a) or Section 4.13(b), in each case which breach consists solely of an inaccuracy as of the Closing Date in the lists required by such representations and warranties to be set forth in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, which inaccuracy is not the result of any breach by the Sellers of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement. No information or knowledge obtained by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.18 or the certificate required to be delivered pursuant hereto shall operate as a

-100- waiver or affect or be deemed to adversely affect or modify any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Closing in Article VIII or consummate the Fiber Transfer in Article IX or otherwise prejudice in any way the rights and remedies of the Purchaser hereunder, including pursuant to Article X, (ii) be deemed to affect or modify the Purchaser’s reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by any Seller in this Agreement or (iii) be deemed to amend or supplement the Sellers Disclosure Schedule or prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant by any Seller. ARTICLE VII TAX MATTERS Sales Taxes and Non-Income Taxes. (a) Sales Taxes. Consistent with section 222.1 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) (and subject to the requirements therein), the obligation to remit or otherwise account to the relevant Taxing Authority for all sales, use, excise and similar Taxes, excluding all Transfer Taxes, imposed with respect to sales made by the Business (“Sales Taxes”), including in respect of the Transferred Accounts Receivables, shall belong to the party that issued the invoice to the customer. (b) Non-Income Taxes. For all purposes of this Agreement, the portion of any Straddle Period Non-Income Tax that is allocable to the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period will be determined as follows: based on the amount of such Taxes due and payable for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period through the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the applicable Straddle Period. To the extent permitted by applicable Law or administrative practice, Sellers will cause any Tax period in respect of Non-Income Taxes that would otherwise be a Straddle Period to end on the Closing Date and the Purchaser and the Canadian Purchaser will cooperate and not take any position inconsistent therewith. (c) Tax Returns for Straddle Period Non-Income Taxes. All Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of Non-Income Taxes for any Straddle Period will be prepared and filed by Sellers if due on or prior to the Closing Date and will be prepared and filed by the Purchaser or the Canadian Purchaser, as applicable, if due after the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns prepared and filed by the Sellers or the Purchaser or Canadian Purchaser will be prepared in accordance with past practices except to the extent different treatment is required by an intervening change in Law. Cooperation. The Purchaser and the Sellers agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Business relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the other, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and

-101- records prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and, if the other party so requests, allow the other party to take possession of such books and records. Tax Contests. (a) If any party to this Agreement receives written notice of a proposed or actual inquiry, claim, assessment, audit, action, suit, court proceeding, litigation, investigation or other dispute with any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes (a “Tax Contest”) relating to Taxes that are or may be another party’s responsibility under this Agreement, the party receiving such written notice shall, within ten (10) days following receipt of such written notice, provide written notice of such Tax Contest to the other party; provided, however, that no failure to give the written notice provided for in this Section 7.3 shall relieve any party of any liability hereunder except to the extent that such party is prejudiced by such failure. (b) The Sellers shall control any Tax Contest that involves Taxes for which Sellers are solely responsible (under Law and this Agreement), and the Purchaser and Canadian Purchaser shall control any Tax Contest relating to Taxes for which the Purchaser or Canadian Purchaser is solely responsible (under Law and this Agreement). If the Sellers are controlling a Tax Contest pursuant to the previous sentence, and the Tax Contest involves any Transferred Asset, any Assumed Liability or the Business and the positions taken during such Tax Contest or the terms of the settlement or disposition of such Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to impact the Purchaser or Canadian Purchaser with respect to Taxes arising out of or relating to the ownership or use of the Transferred Assets or the operation of the Business during any Post- Closing Tax Period, the Purchaser shall be allowed to participate in such proceeding (at its own cost and expense) and the Sellers shall consult with the Purchaser in good faith prior to settling or disposing of such Tax Contest. If the Purchaser or Canadian Purchaser is controlling a Tax Contest pursuant to the sentence preceding the previous sentence, and the Tax Contest involves any Transferred Asset, any Assumed Liability or the Business and the positions taken during such Tax Contest or the terms of the settlement or disposition of such Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to result in an assertion by a Governmental Authority that the Sellers owe additional Taxes arising out of or relating to the ownership or use of the Transferred Assets or the operation of the Business during any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the relevant Seller shall be allowed to participate in such proceeding (at its own cost and expense) and the Purchaser shall consult with such Seller in good faith prior to settling or disposing of such Tax Contest. If a Tax Contest involves Taxes for which both the Purchaser or the Canadian Purchaser, on the one hand, and one or more of the Sellers, on the other hand, could be liable, the parties will cooperate in good faith to divide the Tax Contest in accordance with the Taxes for which the Purchasers and such Sellers are responsible, and if it is not possible to so divide such Tax Contest, the parties will cooperate in good faith to jointly handle the Tax Contest. Transfer Taxes. (a) Notwithstanding Section 7.1, any Transfer Taxes shall be borne and paid by the Purchaser and Canadian Purchaser, on a joint and several basis. They shall initially be determined by reference to the Closing Date Allocation Schedule. The Purchasers and the Sellers agree to (i) cooperate in the execution and delivery of all instruments and certificates necessary to enable the appropriate party to file any Tax Returns relating to the Transfer Taxes

-102- and (ii) cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to mitigate any Transfer Taxes. All necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Transfer Taxes shall be filed by the party primarily or customarily responsible under the applicable Law for filing such Tax Returns. The Purchasers and the Sellers shall cooperate with each other in order to prepare such Tax Returns, ensure that the payments of Transfer Taxes are funded and borne in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.4 and minimize applicable Transfer Taxes in a manner that is mutually agreeable and in compliance with applicable Law, including by timely signing and delivering (or causing to be timely signed and delivered) such certificates or forms as appropriate to establish any available exemption from (or otherwise reduce) any such Transfer Taxes (including any exemption for transfer of a going concern). For greater certainty, all Transfer Taxes payable by the Purchaser or the Canadian Purchaser and collectable by Parent or LP Canada shall be remitted to Parent or LP Canada, respectively, concurrently with the payment of consideration on which such Transfer Taxes are calculated , or, if applicable, within ten (10) days of the Final Allocation Schedule, if as a result of such Final Allocation Schedule, additional Transfer Taxes are required to be paid. Any refunds of Transfer Taxes (or credit or reimbursement for overpayment of Transfer Taxes), including any interest actually received (or credited) with respect thereto, from the applicable taxing authorities shall belong to Purchaser or the Canadian Purchaser, as applicable, and, if received by (or credited to) any Seller, an amount equal to such refund shall be paid, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such receipt and any net Tax costs incurred or accrued on account of the receipt of such refund, the incurrence of such out-of-pocket costs and the payment of such amount to Purchaser or Canadian Purchaser by such Seller to Purchaser or Canadian Purchaser, as applicable, within twenty (20) days after such Seller receives such refund (or is credited with such over payment); provided, that no amount that is credited to any Seller shall belong to Purchaser or the Canadian Purchaser, as applicable, unless such credit either results in a refund or is actually used to offset Taxes otherwise payable by Sellers or any of their Affiliates. (b) At the Closing, if LP Canada and the Canadian Purchaser each deem it is available, LP Canada and the Canadian Purchaser shall execute jointly an election under section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) to relieve the sale of such Transferred Assets being sold by LP Canada from GST. If it is deemed available, the Canadian Purchaser shall file such election no later than the filing date for its GST return for the reporting period in which the Closing Date occurs. The Purchaser and Canadian Purchaser shall, at all times, jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless LP Canada, its directors, officers, and employees against and in respect of any and all Transfer Taxes, including any penalties and interest, assessed by any Governmental Authority in the event that such GST election or other Transfer Taxes exemption (including any non-collection of Transfer Taxes) was inapplicable, invalid, or not properly made. In the event that the amount of GST that was collected at Closing is less than it should have been, this indemnity shall cover the additional GST and interest or penalties, assessed by any Governmental Authority, so long as the interest and penalties were not due to the Sellers’ erroneous delay in payment of such amounts after they were collected from the Purchasers Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, this indemnity shall survive the Closing Date in perpetuity and shall not be subject to any thresholds, caps or similar restrictions. (c) The Canadian Purchaser may provide any purchase exemption certificates (or the equivalent where required) to the Sellers claiming exemption from PST for any Transferred

-103- Assets that are purchased solely for resale, or for production machinery and equipment that is validly exempt from PST upon the provision of such certificate or equivalent. (d) No later than ten (10) days prior to Closing, the Canadian Purchaser shall provide to the Sellers its registration number for GST and PST purposes. Bulk Sales. The Purchaser and the Sellers hereby mutually agree to waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk transfer or sales Laws, to the extent applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, except that LP Canada shall request a clearance certificate pursuant to section 187 of the Provincial Sales Tax Act (British Columbia) within five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, or on a date that reasonably predates the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the receipt of such clearance certificate by LP Canada or the Purchaser shall not be a condition precedent to the Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Acquisition. The Purchaser and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any and all Liabilities arising out of the failure of the Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries to comply with the requirements and provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction, or the failure to timely obtain such clearance certificate, shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities for all purposes under this Agreement. Canadian Income Tax Elections. (a) Section 22 Tax Election. If available, the Canadian Purchaser and LP Canada shall elect jointly in the prescribed form under section 22 of the Tax Act, section 184 of the Taxation Act (Québec), if applicable, and the corresponding provisions of any other applicable Tax statute as to the sale by LP Canada of its Transferred Accounts Receivable and designate in such election an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Transferred Accounts Receivable pursuant to Section 2.5(b). This election, or these elections, shall be made within the time prescribed for such elections. (b) Subsection 20(24) Tax Election. The Canadian Purchaser and LP Canada shall, if applicable, jointly execute and file an election under subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act in the manner required by subsection 20(25) of the Tax Act and under the equivalent or corresponding provisions of any other applicable provincial or territorial statute, in the prescribed forms and within the time period permitted under the Tax Act and under any other applicable provincial or territorial statute, as to such amount paid by LP Canada to the Canadian Purchaser for assuming future obligations. In this regard, the Canadian Purchaser and LP Canada acknowledge that a portion of the Transferred Assets transferred by LP Canada pursuant to this Agreement and having a value equal to the amount elected under subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act and the equivalent provisions of any applicable provincial or territorial statute, is being transferred by LP Canada as a payment for the assumption of such future obligations by the Canadian Purchaser. (c) Section 56.4 Election. The Parties shall make, and LP Canada shall file, any election or amended election in prescribed form (or such other form as LP Canada may reasonably request) and within the prescribed time limits pursuant to subsection 56.4(7) of the

-104- Tax Act, and any analogous provision of provincial or territorial Tax legislation. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the amount that can reasonably be regarded as being consideration for the restrictive covenants referenced in Article XII will be included by LP Canada in computing a “goodwill amount” of LP Canada (within the meaning of the Tax Act), (b) such covenants can reasonably be regarded as necessary to maintain or preserve the fair market value of the benefit of the expenditure derived from such goodwill amount, (c) no proceeds are received or will be receivable as consideration for granting such restrictive covenants and (d) it is intended that subsections 56.4(5) and (7) of the Tax Act, and any analogous provision of provincial or territorial Tax legislation, apply with respect to the restrictive covenants referenced in Article XII.

Each of the covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement, any Conveyance Document or any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of a party pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (together with any right to assert a claim under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, as applicable) until the later of the expiration of (i) its term and (ii) the applicable statute of limitations.

-108- (b) the Assumed Liabilities and, solely from and after the Fiber Transfer, the Assumed Fiber Liabilities. Limitations on Indemnification. (a) No claim for indemnification under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 may be asserted nor may any Action be commenced against an Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim unless written notice of such claim or Action is received by such Indemnifying Party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or Action on or prior to the date on which the covenant or agreement on which such claim or Action (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party) is based ceases to survive, if any, as set forth in Section 10.1. (b) For all purposes of this Article X, but subject to Section 10.7, “Losses” shall be calculated net of (i) any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses or any of the events, conditions, facts or circumstances resulting in or relating to such Losses, net of any deductible, reimbursement obligation or reasonable and documented costs of collection (“Third- Party Payments”); and (ii) any accruals or reserves included in Final Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.10. Any Third-Party Payment recovered by the Indemnified Party, subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the indemnification payment made. (c) Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses. No party hereto shall be entitled to any payment, adjustment or indemnification more than once with respect to the same Loss. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Parties shall not be limited by the fact that any Indemnified Party (i) had actual or constructive knowledge (regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained through such Indemnified Party’s own investigation or through disclosure by the Indemnifying Party, its Representatives or any other Person) of any breach, event or circumstance, whether before or after the Closing, or (ii) waived any breach of representation or warranty or compliance with any covenant, agreement or obligation. (e) With respect to any indemnification claim hereunder for which the Sellers, as the Indemnifying Party, may be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (including under Article VII (Tax Matters) and this Article X (Indemnification)), the Indemnified Party shall first seek to recover all Losses from the RWI Policy to the extent that it would reasonably be expected that the RWI Policy would provide coverage (excluding any retention) for the amount of such Losses; provided, that nothing in this Section 10.4(e) shall restrict the right of the Indemnified Party to submit a Claim Notice or any other notice under Section 10.5.

-109- (f) The aggregate liability of the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, for Losses to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, respectively, under this Agreement shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price. Notice of Loss; Third-Party Claims. (a) An Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice in reasonable detail of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given, or is reasonably expected to give, rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (such notice, a “Claim Notice”), stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that any such Claim Notice need only specify such information to the knowledge of the Indemnified Party as of the date of such Claim Notice and shall not limit or prejudice any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party on the basis of any limitations on the information included in such Claim Notice, including any such limitations made in good faith to preserve the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other privilege; provided, further, that failure to promptly provide such Claim Notice shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is adversely prejudiced thereby. (b) Subject to Section 10.4(e), if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice from a third party of any Action, audit, demand or assessment against it (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), which could give rise to a claim for Loss under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice in reasonable detail of such Third-Party Claim, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises, together with copies of all notices and documents served on or received by the Indemnified Party and its Representatives in respect thereof. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 10.5(b) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is adversely prejudiced thereby; or (ii) to the extent expenses are incurred during the period in which notice was not provided which expenses would not have been incurred had the notice been timely given. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of any Third-Party Claim (i) that seeks any injunctive or other equitable relief or involves any criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, (A) that has been brought by or on behalf of any customer or supplier of the Business or (B) in respect of which an Indemnified Party is seeking recovery from the RWI Policy if the insurer has assumed or is controlling the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake any such defense against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s

-110- control relating thereto (or in the possession or control of any of its Representatives) as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party or its counsel. The Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim (i) (A) for which it obtains a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Parties from all Liabilities in respect of such Third-Party Claim, and (B) the settlement of which does not involve any relief other than money damages which will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) the settlement of which the Indemnified Party consents to in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 10.5 shall not apply to any Tax Contest or other Third-Party Claim in respect of Taxes which shall be governed exclusively by Article VII. Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that following the Closing (a) except for the matters covered by Section 2.10, Section 3.9, any rights of the Purchaser under any RWI Policy, and other than as provided in Section 13.12 or as contemplated by any other Transaction Document (other than the Conveyance Documents), (i) the indemnification provisions in Article VII and this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto for any Losses (including any such Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise, including under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, the Environmental Management Act of British Columbia, or any other Environmental Laws) that a party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement or any Conveyance Document; (ii) none of the parties hereto may bring a claim under any Conveyance Document other than pursuant to this Article X; and (iii) any and all claims arising out of, or in connection with, the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Business or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement must be brought under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Transaction Document shall give rise to any right on the part of any party hereto or thereto, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, to rescind this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Acquisition. Any RWI Policy obtained by the Purchaser shall be the exclusive remedy and exclusive source of recovery for the Purchaser in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty by the Sellers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit (i) the rights or remedies of any party hereto following the Closing Date based upon or in connection with Fraud committed by any other party hereto in making such party’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any schedule, exhibit or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the right of any party hereto to bring claims based on Fraud against another party hereto in connection with such other party’s making of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any schedule, exhibit or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement at any time following the Closing Date (which right shall

-111- survive until the latest time permitted by applicable Law). Any claim under the Tenure Management and Fiber Supply Agreement, the OSB Purchase Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement shall be brought under, and pursuant to the terms of, those agreements, and nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or modify the rights or remedies of any party to any such agreement under such agreement. Further Environmental Provisions. (a) With respect to any Remedial Action at any Manufacturing Facility, Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property necessary to satisfy the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Section 10.2 for any Seller Environmental Liabilities: (i) the Purchaser shall conduct and control the Remedial Action and related activities; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall provide copies of all material documents, including all material correspondence with Governmental Authorities, with respect to such Remedial Action to the Sellers, including providing the Sellers copies of any material submissions to any Governmental Authority in advance of their submission for the Sellers’ review and comment, any such comment to be considered in good faith by the Purchaser; and (ii) the Sellers shall only be liable for their share of the costs incurred to the extent such Remedial Action is conducted in the most cost-effective manner appropriate for the subject site (“Most Cost-Effective Manner”). The Most Cost-Effective Manner shall incorporate (A) the least stringent clean-up standards that, based upon the use classification as of the Closing (industrial, commercial or other) of the subject site, are allowed under applicable Environmental Law; and (B) the least costly methods that are allowed under applicable Environmental Law and that are approved by or otherwise acceptable to applicable Governmental Authorities to achieve such standards, including the use of engineering and institutional controls to eliminate or minimize actual or potential exposure pathways; provided, that (1) such engineering or institutional controls do not materially and adversely affect the use of the subject site or require any future material costs unless Sellers are liable for such costs and (2) subject to subclause (1), Purchaser shall be liable for the operation and maintenance costs incurred with respect to such engineering or institutional controls subsequent to their implementation or installation, provided that, Sellers shall remain responsible for any monitoring of any Hazardous Materials remaining in groundwater subsequent to the removal of the source of the Hazardous Materials until such monitoring is no longer required under Environmental Law or by a Governmental Authority. (b) With respect to any action (other than any such action that is a Remedial Action) to correct a violation of or noncompliance with any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit that is required to satisfy the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Section 10.2 for any Seller Environmental Liabilities: (i) the Purchaser shall control and complete the conduct of such corrective action in the Most Cost-Effective Manner; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall consult with the Sellers in connection with undertaking the corrective action, shall

-112- provide the Sellers with copies of all material correspondence submitted to and received from any Governmental Authority relating to the corrective action or to the associated violation or noncompliance, shall provide the Sellers with reasonable opportunity to provide comments to any material submissions to any Governmental Authority with respect thereto, including to any corrective action plans or proposals, and the Purchaser shall in good faith consider any such comments in connection with such submission; and (ii) the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide the Sellers with reasonable notice of all planned substantive meetings and telephone conferences with the applicable Governmental Authority, and the Sellers and their Representatives shall have the right to attend and participate in such meetings and telephone conferences. (iii) the Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party for capital costs incurred in connection with the implementation of a corrective action that are in excess of the least cost required to achieve compliance with any applicable Environmental Law or Environmental Permit in effect as of the Closing, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Sellers shall under no circumstances be responsible for any incremental costs related to an action that is required or recommended pursuant to any internal standards, policies or guidelines of the Sellers or the Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the extent that such corrective action exceeds the minimum requirements of any such Environmental Law or Environmental Permit; provided, however, that the corrective action (A) shall not materially and adversely affect the use of the subject site or require any material increase in future operating costs unless Sellers are liable for such costs and (B) shall be sufficient to allow the Purchaser to operate in a manner and at a level of production that is consistent with the subject Manufacturing Facility’s full operating capacity; (iv) the Sellers shall under no circumstances be responsible for any costs related to compliance with any changes to Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits subsequent to the Closing, including any operating costs related to any capital upgrade or improvements made as, or in connection with any changes to such Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits after Closing; (v) the Sellers shall under no circumstances be responsible for any removal, abatement, encapsulation or maintenance of any Hazardous Materials included in any building material or equipment, including any such Hazardous Materials discovered, encountered or disturbed pursuant to any demolition, renovation or construction, subsequent to the Closing; and (vi) for the sake of clarity, the parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding this Section 10.7, Section 10.5 sets forth the procedures pursuant to which any Third-Party Claim (other than as related to a Remedial Action or a corrective action under this Section 10.7) is addressed. (c) With respect to the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Section 10.2 for any Seller Environmental Liabilities, the Sellers shall not be responsible for Losses to the extent they are (i) increased by any act or omission of or Release of Hazardous Materials or violations

-113- of or non-compliance with Environmental Law or Environmental Permits by the Purchaser or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives subsequent to the Closing; (ii) incremental costs or expenses arising from changes in Environmental Law or Environmental Permits coming into effect subsequent to the Closing; (iii) caused, triggered or increased by any change in use classification of a subject Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property, subsequent to the Closing from industrial to commercial or residential or from commercial to residential or otherwise; (iv) caused, triggered or increased by any decommissioning, closure or shutdown of a facility; or (v) caused, triggered or increased by any sampling and analysis of soil or groundwater at any Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property conducted subsequent to the Closing or by any voluntary disclosure of information after Closing with respect to the presence of Hazardous Materials at any Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property, in each case by or on behalf of the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates unless such sampling and analysis or disclosure is (A) required to comply with Environmental Law, an Environmental Permit or Governmental Order or required or at the written, unsolicited request of by a Governmental Authority; (B) necessary or reasonably advisable to be conducted in response to a Third-Party Claim; or (C) necessary or reasonably advisable to prevent or mitigate an imminent and substantial threat to human health or the environment. (d) The Purchaser acknowledges that its sole and exclusive remedy against the Sellers or any Subsidiary of the Sellers for any Losses or Liabilities relating to Seller Environmental Liabilities, is under Section 10.2(c) for Excluded Liabilities that are Seller Environmental Liabilities, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.7. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries shall be liable for any claim for indemnification (x) for any Seller Environmental Liabilities (solely to the extent that such Seller Environmental Liability relates to (i) the presence of any Hazardous Materials at, in or on or (ii) any violation of or noncompliance with Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits by the Sellers at, in each case, any Manufacturing Facility, Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property) that is made after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) for any other Seller Environmental Liabilities that is made after the twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that, in each case, any written claim made with reasonable technical and legal specificity by the Purchaser prior to the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing Date or twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Closing Date, as applicable, shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved. No Losses may be claimed under Section 10.2 for any Excluded Liability that is a Seller Environmental Liability (solely to the extent that such Seller Environmental Liability relates to (i) the presence of any Hazardous Materials at, in or on or (ii) any violation of or noncompliance with Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits by the Sellers at, in each case, any Manufacturing Facility, Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses relating to such Seller Environmental Liabilities exceeds $200,000 (excluding, in each case, any individual claim resulting in losses in an amount of $75,000 or less), whereupon the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of such Losses in excess of such amount. The maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Sellers arising out of or resulting from Seller Environmental Liabilities shall be an amount equal to 15% of the Purchase Price.

-114- Canadian Sales Taxes. All references in this Article X to Losses shall exclude the GST and any applicable provincial Tax to the extent that input Tax credits (or similar credits or refunds) are available therefor. If the Parties, acting reasonably, determine that any payment (the “Payment”) made pursuant to this Article X is subject to GST or is deemed by the Excise Tax Act (Canada) (or any applicable provincial Law) to be inclusive of GST, or is subject to any other sales Taxes, the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay to the Indemnified Party, in addition to the Payment, the GST or other sales Taxes payable in connection with such Payment or, in the case of GST or other sales Taxes deemed to be included in such Payment, the Indemnifying Party agrees to increase the amount of the Payment to take into consideration the GST or other sales Taxes deemed to be included in the Payment, such that the net amount received by the Indemnified Party, after remittance of such GST or other sales Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Authority, is equal to the amount that would have been received by the Indemnified Party if no GST or other sales Taxes was deemed to be included. Adjustment to Purchase Price. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law. ARTICLE XI TERMINATION Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by either the Sellers, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, if the Closing shall not have occurred by the six-month anniversary of the date hereof (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(a) shall not be available to any party hereto whose material breach or failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement shall have been the proximate cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; provided, further, however, that if prior to the Termination Date, all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied or waived, as applicable (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied or waived at the Closing), except for the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b) or, solely with respect to the Antitrust Laws of a jurisdiction identified on Section 8.1(b) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, Section 8.2(b), either the Purchaser or Parent may extend the Termination Date to a date that is three (3) months after the Termination Date (and if so extended, such later date being the Termination Date) by providing written notice of such extension not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Termination Date; (b) by either the Sellers, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, in the event that any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America or Canada shall have enacted, promulgated or issued a Law or Governmental Order that permanently enjoins or materially prohibits the consummation of the purchase of the Transferred Assets contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and such Law or

-115- Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(b) shall not be available to any party hereto whose material breach of this Agreement or failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement shall have been the proximate cause of the issuance of such Law or Governmental Order; (c) by the Sellers, if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) shall have occurred that would, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, cause the condition set forth in Section 8.1(a) not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured, or is incapable of being cured, within 30 days (but no later than the Termination Date) of receipt by the Purchaser of written notice from the Sellers of such breach; provided, however, that no Seller is then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) not to be satisfied; (d) by the Purchaser, if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) shall have occurred that would, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, cause the condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured, or is incapable of being cured, within 30 days (but no later than the Termination Date) of receipt by the Sellers of written notice from the Purchaser of such breach; provided, however, that the Purchaser is not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a) not to be satisfied; or (e) by the mutual written consent of the Sellers and the Purchaser. Any termination pursuant to this Section 11.1 (other than a termination pursuant to Section 11.1(d)) shall be effected by written notice from the party so terminating to the other party, which notice shall specify the Section hereof pursuant to which this Agreement is being terminated. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect and there shall be no Liability on the part of any party hereto or any of their respective Representatives; provided, however, that (i) Section 6.3, the last sentence of Section 6.5(a), this Section 11.2 and Article XIII and the related definitional provisions set forth in Article I shall survive any such termination; and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from Liability for any Intentional Breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination. ARTICLE XII RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS Non-Competition. The Sellers shall not, and shall cause their respective present and future Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent may be withheld for any

-116- reason), for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, as an advisor, manager, consultant, broker, owner or equity holder (other than as an equity holder of less than five percent of the issued and outstanding shares of a publicly traded company) or otherwise: (a) engage in or compete with the Business anywhere in the United States or Canada (the “Restricted Area”), (b) own any equity interest in, or operate, control or participate in the operations or control of (including as a joint venture partner, agent, representative, consultant or lender) any Person that directly or indirectly engages in or competes with the Business in the Restricted Area, (c) solicit any Person that was a customer of the Business as of or prior to the Closing in respect of any matter relating to the Business, (d) intentionally interfere with the business relationships between the Business and any of its customers or suppliers or (e) facilitate or assist any other Person with respect to any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.1 will not restrict the Sellers or any Subsidiary thereof from performing their obligations under the other Transaction Documents. Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Sellers shall not, and shall cause their respective present and future Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent may be withheld for any reason), for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date, for themselves or on behalf of any other Person, directly or indirectly hire or solicit for employment any management-level employee, maintenance staff or factory engineer, in each case that is a Transferred Employee (each, a “Covered Employee”) or induce or attempt to induce or encourage any Covered Employee to leave his or her employment with the Business; provided, however, that the foregoing will not prevent the Sellers or their Subsidiaries from (a) engaging in general solicitations to the public or general advertising not targeted at employees of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or (b) hiring any individual whose employment with the Purchaser and its Affiliates has been terminated by the Purchaser or such Affiliate following the Closing Date. Acknowledgments; Enforcement. (a) The Sellers acknowledges that, in view of the nature of the businesses of the Purchaser and the business objectives of the Purchaser in acquiring the Business, and the consideration paid to the Sellers hereunder, the restrictions and covenants contained or referenced in this Article XII are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Purchaser and that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable injury to the Purchaser, the Business and their Affiliates for which damages may not be an adequate remedy. The Sellers therefore acknowledge that, if any such restrictions or covenants are violated, the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek preliminary and injunctive relief against the violating party as well to an equitable accounting of earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation without the posting of any bond or deposit with any Governmental Authority. (b) If, at the time of enforcement of any covenant contained in this Article XII, a court or other Governmental Authority shall hold that the duration, scope or geographic restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or geographic area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or geographic area and that the court or other

-117- Governmental Authority shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and geographic area permitted by Law. (c) In the event that either of the Sellers or any of their 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 other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the applicable Seller or successor or assign shall cause proper provision to be made so that such successor or assign shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Article XII. (d) The Purchaser and the Sellers acknowledge that (i) the covenants set forth in this Article XII are an essential element of this Agreement and that, but for these covenants, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and (ii) this Article XII constitutes an independent covenant and shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document contemplated by this Agreement. ARTICLE XIII GENERAL PROVISIONS Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial and other advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be borne by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Sellers Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the information and disclosures contained in any Section or subsection of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule corresponding to any Section or subsection of Article IV of this Agreement shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each other Section or subsection of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule corresponding to a Section or subsection of Article IV of this Agreement as though fully set forth in such other Section or subsection to the extent the relevance of such information to such other Section or subsection is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure without independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed, notwithstanding the omission of a reference or a cross-reference with respect thereto. Certain items and matters (other than matters required by a particular representation or warranty to be included in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule) are listed in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule for informational purposes only and may not be required to be listed therein by the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the listing of items or matters in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to broaden, or otherwise expand the scope of, the representations and warranties or covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. No reference to, or disclosure of, any item or matter in any Section of this Agreement or any Section of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or matter is

-118- material or that such item or matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement or in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (other than any matters required by a particular representation, warranty or covenant to be included in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule). Without limiting the foregoing, no reference to, or disclosure of, a possible breach or violation of any contract or agreement, Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication to any third party that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, disclosures and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at the earliest of the date (a) when delivered personally, by messenger or by overnight delivery service by a recognized commercial carrier to an officer of the other party, (b) when received if mailed by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (c) when received via electronic mail, in all cases addressed to the person for whom it is intended at the address set forth below or to such other address as the applicable party shall have designated by notice in writing to the other parties in the manner provided by this Section 13.3: if to the Sellers: Louisiana-Pacific Corporation ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Telephone: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Email: ▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ Louisiana-Pacific Canada Ltd. c/o Louisiana-Pacific Corporation ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Telephone: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Email: ▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇

None of the parties to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or otherwise communicate with any news media regarding this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby without the prior written consent of the other party, unless such press release or public announcement is required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, in which case the parties to this Agreement shall, to the extent practicable, consult with each other as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication; provided, however, that the prior written consent of the other party shall not be required hereunder with respect to any press release, public announcement or communication that is substantially similar to (and contains no information concerning this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby that was not included in) a press release, public announcement or communication previously issued with the prior written consent of such other party.

-120- Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is declared invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Governmental Authority, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Except as provided in Section 12.3, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Sellers Disclosure Schedules, the other Transaction Documents and any other certificates or instruments delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No Setoff. Obligations under this Agreement, including Article X, shall not be netted, recouped or set off against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under this Agreement, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of Law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or set off against obligations under this Agreement, whether arising under the Agreement, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of Law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment. Assignment. Subject to Section 2.11, this Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of the Sellers or the Purchaser (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Sellers or the Purchaser), as the case may be, and any attempted assignment that is not in accordance with this Section 13.8 shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentences of this Section 13.8, this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Sellers and the Purchaser that expressly references the Section of this Agreement to be amended; or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 13.10.

-121- Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant to this Agreement; or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or conditions to such obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise of any other right hereunder. Any waiver of any term or condition hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or as a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent provided in Article VII or Article X (the provisions of which shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties) and Section 13.18 (the provisions of which shall inure to the benefit of the Non-Recourse Persons), this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, only the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to, or shall confer upon, any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or terminated, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived, in accordance with the terms hereof without the consent of any Person other than the parties hereto. Remedies. Without limiting Section 10.6, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties agree that irreparable harm for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not fully and timely perform their respective obligations under or in connection with this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including the Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if it is required to do so hereunder), in each case without proof of damages and without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this

-122- Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Governing Law. (a) This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any other principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. (b) Except as provided in Section 2.10 and Section 3.9, each party hereto agrees that it shall bring any and all Actions in respect of any claim arising out of, related to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or the relationship between the parties hereto, whether in tort or contract or at law or in equity, exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery in New Castle County, Delaware or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and in each case, appellate courts therefrom, and consistent with the foregoing, each of the parties hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court for the purpose of any Action, directly or indirectly, arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement brought by any party hereto; (ii) agrees that service of process will be validly effected by sending notice in accordance with Section 13.3; (iii) irrevocably waives and releases, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in or with respect to any such Action, any claim, whether actual or potential, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, based upon past or future events, now existing or coming into existence in the future, that (A) such Action is not subject to the subject matter jurisdiction of such above-named courts; (B) its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution in the State of Delaware; (C) such Action is brought in an inconvenient forum; (D) that the venue of such Action is improper; or (E) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of such above-named courts; and (iv) agrees not to move to transfer any such Action to a court other than any of the above-named courts. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR LIABILITY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR LIABILITY, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE

-123- MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 13.14; (C) UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; AND (D) MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement or any Transaction Document transmitted by email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original executed copy of this Agreement or such Transaction Document for all purposes. Mutual Drafting. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement; accordingly, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted collectively by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. Interpretation and Rules of Construction. (a) In this Agreement, except to the extent otherwise provided or that the context otherwise requires: (i) when a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference is to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement; (ii) the table of contents and headings for this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (iii) whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iv) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (v) all terms defined in this Agreement have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other instrument delivered or made available pursuant hereto, unless otherwise defined therein;

If the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day; (xii) references to sums of money are expressed in lawful currency of the United States of America, and “$” refers to U.S. dollars; (xiii) whenever the context requires, any pronoun used herein shall include the form corresponding to the appropriate gender identity or expression; (xiv) “any” shall mean “any and all”; (xv) reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended, supplemented and modified in effect from time to time in accordance with its terms; and (xvi) “ordinary course of business” shall mean “ordinary course of business consistent with past practice”.
