(i) all liabilities, obligations and commitments under the Transferred Contracts and the Transferred Permits arising after the Closing Date;

(vi) all liabilities, obligations and commitments of Seller, relating to completion of the CAP (as defined in Section 3.19(b)), including all penalties assessed by any Governmental Entity to resolve Permit violations addressed by the CAP;

(vii) all liabilities, obligations and commitments arising from failure to maintain documents and records on or prior to the Closing Date required under Operating Air Permit Number 1714-AOP-R10, and any other Permit relating the regulation of air emissions;

(viii) all liabilities, obligations and commitments arising as a result of Releases of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 13.05(b)) on or prior to the Closing Date by Seller upon, into or at the Transferred Real Property;

Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller pursuant to the provisions of Article IX of claims, if any, that Seller breached its representation and warranty in Section 3.09 hereof. Such notice shall be accompanied by documentary evidence, including photographs, supporting Purchaser’s claim. The Parties will endeavor to resolve the claim as soon as practicable.

(b) The Statement. Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Statement”), setting forth Working Capital (as defined in Section 2.03(e))as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Closing Working Capital”) and a certificate of Seller that the Statement has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.03(e)). If Purchaser and Seller have not resolved Purchaser’s claim of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.09, the Statement shall not include any Inventory subject to Purchaser’s claim. Purchaser shall assist Seller in the preparation of the Statement and shall provide Seller access at all reasonable times to the personnel with knowledge of the Business, and any books and records of the Business, for such purpose. Purchaser’s independent auditors may participate in the preparation of the Statement; provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall have the primary responsibility and authority for preparing the Statement.

(c) Objections; Resolution of Disputes. During the 30-day period following Purchaser’s receipt of the Statement, Purchaser and its independent auditors shall be permitted to review the working papers relating to the Statement. The Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless Purchaser gives written notice of its disagreement with the Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Seller prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted, (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on Closing Working Capital not being calculated in accordance with this Section 2.03, (iii) be accompanied by a certificate of Purchaser that it has complied with Section 2.03(e) and (iv) be accompanied by a certificate of Purchaser’s independent auditors that they concur with each of the positions taken by Purchaser in the Notice of Disagreement. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Seller in a timely manner, then the Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser on the earlier of (A) the date Seller and Purchaser resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm (as defined below). During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. During such period Seller and its auditors shall have access to the

working papers of Purchaser’s independent auditors prepared in connection with their certification of the Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such 30-day period, Seller and Purchaser shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) for arbitration any and all matters that remain in dispute and were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement. The Accounting Firm shall be Ernst & Young or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by the parties hereto in writing. Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm within 30 days of receipt of the submission. Judgment (as defined in Section 13.05(b)) may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The cost of any arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the parties) pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of Seller’s independent auditors incurred in connection with any review of the Statement and review of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Seller, and the fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s independent auditors incurred in connection with any review of the Statement and certification of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Purchaser.

(d) Adjustment Payment. The Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount by which Inventory is less than $4,800,000 (the “WC Amount” and the Purchase Price as so decreased shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). If the Closing Date Payment is more than the Adjusted Purchase Price, Seller shall, within ten (10) business days after the Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, make payment by wire transfer in immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Purchaser such payment of the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the rate of interest from time to time announced publicly by KeyBank, as its prime rate, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365, from the Closing Date to the date of payment (the “Prime Rate”).

(e) Working Capital. For purposes of this Section 2.03, the term “Working Capital” shall be defined to mean the sum of the amounts reflected on the Balance Sheet of (i) raw material, (ii) work-in-process, (iii) finished goods, (iv) bark fuel, (v) prepaid VMI freight, and (vi) consumable materials and supplies (which materials and supplies are exclusive of any spare parts and in the total and non-adjustable amount of $525,000), calculated in the same way, using the same methods, as the line items on the Balance Sheet, subject only to adjustment in accordance with Exhibit A. WC Amount is to be calculated in the same way, using the same methods, as the line items comprising Working Capital on the Balance Sheet, whether or not doing so is in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), subject only to adjustment in accordance with Exhibit A. The foregoing principles are referred to in this Agreement as the “Balance Sheet Principles”. The adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.03 is intended to show the change in Working Capital from the date of the Balance Sheet to the Closing Date, and that such change can only be measured if the calculation is done in the same way, using the same methods, for both dates. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to whether such

calculation was done in accordance with the Balance Sheet Principles, and whether there were mathematical errors in the Statement, and the Accounting Firm is not authorized or permitted to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether GAAP was followed for the Balance Sheet or the Statement or as to whether the WC Amount is correct. Any items on or omissions from the Balance Sheet that are based upon errors of fact or mathematical errors or that are not in accordance with GAAP shall be retained for purposes of calculating Closing Working Capital. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Accounting Firm is not authorized or permitted to make any determination as to the accuracy of Section 3.04 or any other representation or warranty in this Agreement or as to compliance by Seller with any of its covenants in this Agreement (other than in this Section 2.03.) Any determinations by the Accounting Firm, and any work or analyses performed by the Accounting Firm, in connection with its arbitration of any dispute under this Section 2.03 shall not be admissible in evidence in any suit, action or proceeding between the parties other than to the extent necessary to enforce payment obligations under Section 2.03(d).

(f) Post-Closing Books and Records. Except for the consummation of the Closing, Purchaser and Seller agree that on the Closing Date itself the Business shall be conducted in the ordinary course in a manner substantially consistent with past practice. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall not take any actions with respect to the accounting books and records of the Business for periods occurring on or prior to Closing on which the Statement is to be based that would affect the Balance Sheet or the Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no changes shall be made in any reserve or other account existing as of the date of the Balance Sheet except as a result of events occurring after the date of the Balance Sheet and, in such event, with respect to periods occurring on or prior to Closing, only in a manner consistent with past practices of the Business. Purchaser shall cooperate in the preparation of the Statement, including providing customary certifications to Seller’s auditors. During the period of time from and after the Closing Date through the resolution of any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.03, Purchaser shall afford to Seller and any accountants, counsel or financial advisers retained by Seller in connection with any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.03 reasonable access during normal business hours to all the properties, books, contracts, personnel and records of the Business relevant to the adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.03.

Purchaser has full corporate power and authority to execute this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is, or is specified to be, a party and to consummate the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Ancillary Agreements.

Purchaser has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and prior to the Closing will have duly executed and delivered each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, and this Agreement constitutes, and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party will after the Closing constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles.

SECTION 4.03. No Conflicts or Violations; No Consents or Approvals Required.

The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which Purchaser is a party do not, and the consummation by Purchaser of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated to be consummated by it by this Agreement and such Ancillary Agreements will not conflict with, or result in any breach of or constitute a default or give rise to any right of termination or acceleration under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries under, any provision of (i) the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any material Contract to which Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound or (iii) any material Judgment or Applicable Law applicable to Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, in each case other than any such items that would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. No Consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Acquisition, other than (A) compliance with and filings under the HSR Act, (B) compliance with and filings and notifications under applicable Environmental Laws, (C) those that may be required solely by reason of Seller’s (as opposed to any third party’s) participation in the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the Ancillary Agreements, (D) compliance with and filings under the Exchange Act, and (E) those the failure of which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

There are not any Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened against Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries seeking injunctive relief prohibiting or delaying the consummation of the Acquisition.

SECTION 4.05. Availability of Funds; Solvency.

Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing will not be satisfied or that the Financing will not be available to Purchaser on a timely basis to consummate the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) As of the Closing and immediately after consummating the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser will not (i) be insolvent (either because its financial condition is such that the sum of its debts is greater than the fair value of its assets or because the present fair salable value of its assets will be less than the amount required to pay its probable liability on its debts as they become absolute and matured), (ii) have unreasonably small capital with which to

engage in its business, including the Business, or (iii) have incurred or plan to incur debts beyond its ability to repay such debts as they become absolute and matured.

The covenant set forth in this Section 5.03(b) shall terminate three years after the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.04. Best Efforts.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser shall use its best efforts to cause the Closing to occur, including taking all actions necessary to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on it or any of its affiliates with respect to the Closing.

SECTION 5.05. Antitrust Notification and Other Regulatory Filings.

(a) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall (i) file or cause to be filed as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 20 days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) all notification and report forms that may be required for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any supplemental information requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act, (ii) make such other filings as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 15 days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as are necessary under the Antitrust Laws (as defined in Section 13.05(b)) and shall promptly provide any supplemental information requested by applicable Governmental Entities relating thereto, and (iii) include in each such filing, notification and report form referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) a request for early termination or acceleration of any applicable waiting periods.

Each of Seller and Purchaser shall furnish to the other copies of any notification and report forms it shall file and such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC, the DOJ and any other applicable Governmental Entity and shall comply with any such inquiry or request as promptly as practicable. Each party shall use its best efforts to obtain clearance required under the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as promptly as practicable.

(b) Seller and Purchaser shall use their best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Law as soon as practicable. Seller and Purchaser shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any such waiting period or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Entity to delay or not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to be consummated on the Closing Date, except with the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Seller and Purchaser shall not have any substantive contact with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing or proceeding contemplated by this Section 5.05 unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to participate. If any Antitrust Proceeding (as defined in Section 13.05(d)) is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements under any Antitrust Law, Seller and Purchaser shall use their best efforts to resolve (and to avoid the institution of) any such Antitrust Proceeding. If, notwithstanding such best efforts, any such Antitrust proceeding is instituted, Seller and Purchaser shall further use their best efforts to contest such Antitrust Proceeding until each such Antitrust Proceeding is resolved pursuant to a settlement or a final nonappealable court order.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.05, “best efforts” of Purchaser and Seller shall not include selling, holding separate or otherwise disposing of, any of the Transferred Assets or the Business or any assets or business of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on or after the Closing, including agreeing with any Governmental Entity to take any such action.

From time to time, as and when requested by any party, each party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, in the case of Seller, executing and delivering to Purchaser such assignments, deeds, bills of sale, consents and other instruments as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request as necessary or desirable for such purpose.

SECTION 5.07. Insurance Matters.

(a) Seller shall keep all insurance policies currently maintained with respect to the Transferred Assets (the “Seller Insurance Policies”), or suitable replacements therefor, in full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date. Purchaser acknowledges that any and all Seller Insurance Policies are owned and maintained by Seller and its affiliates (and not the Business) and are Excluded Assets. Purchaser will not have any rights under the Seller Insurance Policies from and after the Closing.

(b) In the event that prior to the Closing any Transferred Asset suffers any damage, destruction or other casualty loss, Seller shall surrender to Purchaser after the Closing Date (i) all insurance proceeds received by the Seller with respect to such damage, destruction or loss, less any proceeds applied to the physical restoration of such asset, and (ii) all rights of Seller with respect to any causes of action, whether or not litigation has commenced as of the Closing Date, in connection with such damage, destruction or loss. Seller shall make available to Purchaser the benefits of any Seller

Insurance Policy covering the Transferred Assets with respect to insured events or occurrences prior to the Closing (whether or not claims relating to such events or occurrences are made prior to or after the Closing Date); provided, however, that the benefits of such insurance shall be subject to (and recovery thereon shall be reduced by the amount of) any applicable deductibles and co-payment provisions or any payment or reimbursement obligations of Seller in respect thereof. Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser all insurance proceeds relating to the Transferred Assets received by Seller under any Seller Insurance Policy.

SECTION 5.08. No Solicitation of Other Bids.

(a) Seller shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its affiliates or any of its or their representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, initiate, facilitate or continue inquiries regarding an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any person concerning a possible Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreements or other instruments (whether or not binding or contingent) regarding an Acquisition Proposal. Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its affiliates and all of its and their representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, and shall not commence, or permit to be commenced, any discussions or negotiations with any persons with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes hereof, "Acquisition Proposal" means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person (other than Purchaser or any of its affiliates) relating to the direct or indirect disposition, whether by sale, merger or otherwise, of all or any portion of the Business or the Transferred Assets.

(b) In addition to the other obligations under this Section 5.08, Seller shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days after receipt thereof by Seller or its Representatives) advise Purchaser orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the person making the same.

(c) Seller agrees that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 5.08 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Purchaser.

SECTION 5.09. Notice of Certain Events.

(a) From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of:

(i) any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (A) has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Effect, (B) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder not being true and correct or (C) has resulted in, or could

SECTION 6.01. Continuation of Employment; Purchaser Benefit Plans.

(a) General. (i) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Transferred Employee” shall refer to each Business Employee to whom Purchaser extends offers of employment as of the Closing Date as set forth in Schedule 6.01 and each Business Employee whose employment transfers from Seller to Purchaser by operation of law as of the Closing. At Closing, all Transferred Employees shall be hired by and become employees of Purchaser. Seller shall terminate the employment of the Transferred

Employees immediately thereafter. No later than seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date (the “Notice Date”) , the Purchaser shall notify the Transferred Employees that immediately upon the Closing on the Closing Date, the Transferred Employees shall become employed by the Purchaser on an “at will” basis. On the Notice Date, Seller shall deliver a notice of termination to all Transferred Employees (the “Termination Notice”) to be immediately effective after Closing. The Parties shall coordinate such that the Termination Notice and the notice of hire are delivered simultaneously to each Transferred Employee. On the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate any existing employment agreement or arrangements between the Seller and the Transferred Employees, without any liability to the Purchaser on or following the Closing. All employees of Seller who are not Transferred Employees shall remain employees of the Seller.

(ii) Seller agrees to (A) not make offers of employment to any Transferred Employee in any business of Seller’s affiliates included in the Excluded Assets prior to the Closing Date and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, (B) encourage all Transferred Employees to accept offers of employment with Purchaser, and (C) at Purchaser’s request, enter into retention agreements with such Transferred Employees as Purchaser may designate, it being understood that all liabilities and obligations of Seller under such retention agreements shall be assumed by Purchaser at Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions of this Section 6.01(a)(ii)(A) shall not prohibit Seller from (x) conducting any general solicitations for employment, such as any newspaper or Internet help wanted advertisement, directly or through any agent (including placement and recruiting agencies) that is not directed at such Transferred Persons, or (y) hiring any such Transferred Person whose employment with Purchaser has ceased at least one month prior to such time.

(b) Prior Service Credit. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall give or cause to be given each Transferred Employee full credit for all purposes under any employee benefit plans and arrangements provided, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser and its affiliates, for such Transferred Employee’s service with Seller and its subsidiaries, and with any predecessor employer, to the same extent recognized by Seller and its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent such credit would result in duplication of benefits for the same period of service; provided, however, that (i) such credit shall be given pursuant to payroll or plan records, at the election of Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion; and (ii) such service crediting shall be permitted and consistent with Purchaser's defined contribution retirement plan.

(c) No Assumption of Liabilities. Seller shall remain solely responsible for the satisfaction of all claims for medical, dental, life insurance, health accident or disability benefits brought by or in respect of current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors or consultants of the Business or the spouses, dependents or beneficiaries thereof, which claims relate to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller also shall remain solely responsible for all worker's compensation claims of any current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors or consultants of the Business which relate to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, all such amounts to the appropriate persons as and when due.

(d) Eligibility for Purchaser Benefit Plans. Each employee of the Business who becomes employed by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement shall be eligible to receive the salary and benefits maintained for employees of Purchaser on substantially similar terms and conditions in the aggregate as are provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser.

With respect to each of Purchaser’s benefit plans that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA (a “Purchaser Welfare Plan”), Purchaser shall use its best efforts (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Transferred Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries under the Purchaser Welfare Plans to the extent waived under the applicable corresponding Seller Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) provide each Business Employee and his or her eligible dependents and beneficiaries with credit under Purchaser Welfare Plans for any co-payments and deductibles paid under corresponding Seller Benefit Plans prior to the Closing in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any Purchaser Welfare Plans in which the Transferred Employees participate.

SECTION 6.02. Accrued Vacation.

For purposes of determining the number of vacation days to which each Transferred Employee shall be entitled, Purchaser shall assume and honor all vacation days accrued or earned but not yet taken by such Transferred Employee as of the Closing Date. To the extent that a Transferred Employee is entitled under any Applicable Law or any policy of Seller or any of its respective subsidiaries to be paid for any vacation days accrued or earned but not yet taken by such Transferred Employee as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume the liability for such vacation days.

SECTION 6.03. WARN Act.

Purchaser shall bear any and all obligations and liability under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended (the “WARN Act”) resulting from employment losses pursuant to Section 6.01. Seller agrees, with respect to Business employees, to cooperate with Purchaser regarding the provision of any required notice under the WARN Act, and any similar federal, state or local law or regulation, and to otherwise comply with the WARN Act and any such other similar law or regulation with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting Business Employees (including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and occurring from and after the Closing. Seller shall notify Purchaser of any layoffs of any Business Employees in the 90-day period prior to the Closing.

SECTION 9.04. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Third Party Claims. If any party (the “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding or the assertion of any claim by a third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment for which indemnity may be sought under Section 9.02 or 9.03 (a “Third Party Claim”), and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party will have 30 days from receipt of any such notice of a Third Party Claim to give notice to assume the defense thereof. Prior to and during such 30 day period, the Indemnified Party may take actions it deems necessary in its reasonable discretion to preserve all defenses available regarding the Third Party Claim, the costs of which, including the incurrence of reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. If notice to the effect set forth in the immediately preceding sentence is given by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, further, however, that in the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim it shall actively pursue such defense in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 30 days of receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted will have the right to assume the defense thereof, at its sole cost and expense, upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party. In any event, if the Indemnifying Party at any time agrees to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel incurred prior to the time of the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of such defense. So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that in the event such Third Party Claim results in a Loss paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.02 or 9.03, such Loss shall include the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred in the participation of such defense, except to the extent such legal fees and expenses shall have been incurred by the Indemnified Party following the receipt of written acknowledgment from the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party under Section 9.02 or 9.03 in connection with such Third Party Claim and shall assume defense of the Third Party Claim (in which case such legal fees and expenses shall be borne solely by the Indemnified Party), (ii) except during any period when the Indemnifying Party has not assumed defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or, at any time, enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not (A) admit to any wrongdoing or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement (x) with

any of the Indemnified Party’s current customers or suppliers, (y) that provides for relief other than money damages or (z) that provides for money damages if the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in writing that it shall be responsible for such money damages, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The parties will use their reasonable best efforts to minimize Losses from Third Party Claims and will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The parties will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

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

SECTION 9.05. Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary:

(i) Seller shall not be responsible, pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.02, for any Losses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnitee arising out of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller herein unless a claim therefor is asserted in writing within 24 months after the Closing Date (except that in the case of a breach of an Inventory Representation, such claim must be asserted in writing within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, in the case of a breach of an Environmental Representation, such claim must be asserted in writing within five (5) years after the Closing Date, and in the case of a breach of a Fundamental Representation, and in the case of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 12.08, Article X and Article XI, such claim must be asserted in writing prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations);

(ii) Seller shall not be liable, pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.02, for Losses suffered by Purchaser Indemnitees unless the aggregate of all Losses suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitees as a result of the matters described in such clauses exceeds an amount equal to 1% of the Adjusted Purchase Price, and then only to the extent of any such excess; provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification arising out of a breach of any

Fundamental Representation or any covenant in Section 12.08, Article X or Article XI;

(iii) the aggregate liability of Seller hereunder, pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 9.02, for Losses suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitees as a result of matters described in such clauses shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Adjusted Purchase Price; provided, however, that this clause (iii) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification arising out of a breach of any Fundamental Representation or any covenant in Section 12.08, Article X or Article XI;

(iv) neither party hereto shall be liable to the others for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages claimed by such other party resulting from such first party’s breach of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder;

(v) Seller shall have no obligations under clause (i) of Section 9.02 with respect to any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.19 to the extent any Losses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnitee arising out of such breach are (A) result from conditions contributed to or exacerbated by any Purchaser Indemnitee, but only to the extent the condition was contributed to or exacerbated by such Purchaser Indemnitee, and (B) result from any change in use of any Transferred Real Property, but only to the extent the condition resulted from such change; and

(vi) Seller shall not, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees or any other person with respect to any matter to the extent that such matter was reflected in the calculation of the adjustment to the Closing Date Payment, if any, pursuant to Section 2.03(d).

SECTION 9.06. Calculation of Indemnity Payments.

The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies, net of any recovery costs, or underground storage tank reimbursement programs, with respect to such Loss and shall be (a) increased to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (b) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such indemnified amount.

SECTION 9.07. Payments; Environmental Escrow Amounts.

(a) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within five (5) business days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such five (5) business day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the Prime

Rate plus 2%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365/366 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

(c) Transfer Taxes. Each Party shall pay 50% of all Transfer Taxes applicable to the conveyance and transfer from Seller to Purchaser of the Transferred Assets and any other transfer or documentary Taxes or any filing or recording fees applicable to such conveyance and transfer.

SECTION 11.01. Agreement Not To Compete.

(a) Seller understands that Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the Business to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 11.01 and, therefore, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, engage in activities or businesses, or establish any new businesses, within North America that are substantially in competition with the Business as presently conducted (“Competitive Activities”), including (i) selling goods or services of the type sold by the Business, except that if any goods or services were not sold by the Business during the period of time that it was owned by Seller and are not sold by the Business at the time of the Closing (collectively, “Permitted Goods and Services”), Seller may sell any Permitted Goods and Services notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, (ii) soliciting any customer or prospective customer of the Business to purchase any goods or services sold by the Business, other than Permitted Goods and Services, from anyone other than Purchaser and its affiliates, and (iii) assisting any person in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by clause (i) above; and

(b) Section 11.01(a) shall be deemed not breached as a result of the ownership by Seller or any of its affiliates of: (i) any securities (other than 5% or more of any class of stock having general voting power in the election of directors) of a person engaged, directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities; or (ii) a person that engages, directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities if such Competitive Activities account for less than 10% of such person’s consolidated annual revenues.

Additional Agreements

SECTION 12.01. Publicity.

No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be issued by a party without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the rules or regulations of any United States securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; provided, however, that each of the parties may make internal announcements to their respective employees that are consistent with the parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement after reasonable prior notice to and consultation with the other.

SECTION 12.02. No Use of Certain Retained Names.

Purchaser shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, promptly, and in any event (a) within 30 days after the Closing, make all necessary filings and take all other necessary actions to discontinue any references to the Retained Names, (b) within 90 days after the Closing, to revise print advertising, product labeling and all other information or other materials, including any Internet or other electronic communications vehicles, to delete all references to the Retained Names and (c) within 90 days after the Closing, to change signage and stationery and otherwise discontinue use of the Retained Names; provided, however, that for a period of three months following the Closing Date, Purchaser may continue to distribute product literature that uses any Retained Names and distribute products with labeling or packaging that uses any Retained Names to the extent that such product literature and labeling or packaging exists on the Closing Date. In no event shall Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries use any Retained Names after the Closing in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such Retained Names by Seller during the 90-day period preceding the Closing. With respect to the Transferred Inventory, Purchaser may continue to sell such Transferred Inventory, notwithstanding that it or its labeling or packaging bears one or more of the Retained Names, for a reasonable time after the Closing (not to exceed three months). None of the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02 shall be construed to obligate Purchaser to require any wholesaler, retailer or other merchant or customers of the Business to conduct themselves in accordance therewith.

SECTION 12.03. Support Services.

Purchaser acknowledges that, as of the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to provide any support or other services to Purchaser or the Business other than those services expressly required to be provided pursuant to the Transitional Services Agreement and the Fiber Supply Agreement, which agreements shall be entered into by Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing.

SECTION 12.04. Post-Closing Information.

Following the Closing for so long as such information is retained by a party (which shall be for a period of at least three years), upon reasonable written notice, each party shall afford or cause to be afforded to the other party and its agents, representatives and auditors reasonable access to the personnel, properties, books, systems, Contracts and records (including financial and other Tax records) relating to the Business for any reasonable business purpose, including in respect of litigation, insurance matters, preparation of Tax returns and financial reporting of such party and its affiliates, including by, as and when reasonably requested by the other party, providing copies of any the foregoing books, systems, Contracts and records (including financial and other Tax records) relating to the Business to the other party; provided, that the party requesting such access agrees to reimburse the other party promptly for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party will not be required to disclose any information (i) which such party is prohibited from disclosing by a confidentiality agreement with a third party if such party has used reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of the third party to such disclosure (it being understood that no party shall be obligated to pay any consideration to any third party from whom such consent is requested), and (ii) which would constitute privileged attorney-client communications or attorney work product, the transfer of which or the provision of access to which would constitute a waiver of any such privilege. If any material is withheld by a party pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such party shall inform the other party as to the general nature of what is being withheld. Seller may redact such portions of such books and records that do not relate to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business.

SECTION 12.05. Records.

Purchaser recognizes that certain records may contain information relating to subsidiaries, divisions or businesses of Seller and its affiliates other than the Business and that Seller may retain copies thereof.

SECTION 12.06. Bulk Transfer Laws.

Purchaser and Seller each hereby waives compliance with the provisions of any so-called “bulk transfer laws” of any jurisdiction in connection with the Acquisition.

SECTION 12.07. Refunds and Remittances.

After the Closing, if Seller or any of its affiliates receives any refund or other amount which is a Transferred Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Seller promptly shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to Purchaser at the address set forth in Section 13.04. After the Closing, if Purchaser or any of its affiliates receives any refund or other amount which

is an Excluded Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Seller or any of its affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser promptly shall remit or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to Seller at the address set forth in Section 13.04. After the Closing, if Purchaser or any of its affiliates receives any refund or other amount which is related to claims (including workers’ compensation), litigation or other matters for which Seller is responsible hereunder, and which amount is not a Transferred Asset, or is otherwise properly due and owing to Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser promptly shall remit, or cause to be remitted, such amount to Seller at the address set forth in Section 13.04. After the Closing, if Seller or any of its affiliates receives any refund or other amount which is related to claims (including workers’ compensation), litigation or other matters for which Purchaser is responsible hereunder, and which amount is not an Excluded Asset, or is otherwise properly due and owing to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Seller promptly shall remit, or cause to be remitted, such amount to Purchaser at the address set forth in Section 13.04.

SECTION 12.08. Environmental Matters.

(a) Seller agrees, at its sole expense, to use its best efforts to cause the rough ash storage pile existing at the Facility on the Closing Date to be removed as soon as practicable, and in no event later than after the first anniversary of the Closing Date. Purchaser acknowledges that in furtherance of Seller’s covenant in this Section 12.08(a), Seller has entered into a Rough Ash Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November 29, 2018 (“Ash Agreement”) with AA Land & Timber, Inc. (“AA Land”). Seller shall assign the Ash Agreement to Purchaser at Closing and Purchaser shall make all payments due to AA Land under the Ash Agreement for removal of the volume of ash present as of the Closing Date, as determined by measurements taken by Purchaser and Seller as of such date, and Purchaser shall make claims for amounts paid against the Environmental Escrow Amount (Seller shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent to payment of such amounts by the Escrow Agent). Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of any default under the Ash Agreement and Seller shall have the right to cause such default to be cured or, in the alternative, to direct Purchaser to terminate the Ash Agreement, in which event Seller shall remove remaining rough ash in an amount equal to the volume of ash determined by measurements taken by Purchaser and Seller as of the Closing Date, less the volume of ash removed by AA Land prior to the default under the Ash Agreement.

(b) Seller agrees, at its sole expense, to cause a sufficient amount of the ash deposits, ash plumes and other similar contamination as described in the Phase II Environmental Assessment dated December, 2018 by SLR International Consultants to be removed in order to bring such deposits in compliance with the Arkansas State Plant Board Registration for Soil Amendment Products for the year 2018-2019 (“Soil Amendment”). Such ash shall be removed as soon as practicable and in no event later than the first anniversary after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall afford to Seller and its employees and other representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable prior notice during agreed upon hours, to the portions of the Facility containing the aforementioned ash and other contaminant deposits for the purpose of implementing the Soil Amendment, subject to Purchaser’s right to revoke access on a temporary, emergency basis. Purchaser shall not deposit any materials any ash deposits, ash piles and ash plumes existing on the Transferred Property on the Closing Date, including, without limitation, ash, prior to satisfaction by Seller of its obligations under this Section 12.08(b).

(c) Seller agrees, prior to and following Closing, at its sole expense, to perform the actions described in the CAP and to cause the CAP to be fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality to permit such CAP to closed and to permit the Facility to meet applicable effluent standards, as soon as practicable and in no event later than one year following the Closing Date. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that in furtherance of the foregoing, Seller intends to (i) install upgraded level controls on the wet ash conveyor at the Facility to prevent overflow of water and ash, (ii) repurpose the existing squeeze water tank to hold collected process waters for re-use as make-up water for the Facility’s ash quench and refiner cooling systems, including the installation of a pump system, additional piping and electrical runs, to create a recycle loop for several small process water streams, and (iii) wetting the ESP ash in a spray box before it drops into roll-offs in an effort to decrease required housekeeping efforts by keeping fine dust in the hoppers. In the event the foregoing actions fail to close the CAP, Seller agrees, at its sole expense, to undertake such further actions as Seller, following consultation with Purchaser, deems reasonably necessary to close the CAP. Purchaser agreed to use best management practices to manage wastewater at the Facility, including the processes that are subject to the CAP. If the NPDES Permit is not renewed prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate in the Permit renewal process to facilitate closure of the CAP, including without limitation, seeking modification of any effluent limits in the renewed permit.
