RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Sellers own all of the issued and outstanding Partnership Interests; and

WHEREAS, the Buyer desires to purchase from the Sellers, and the Sellers desire to sell to the Buyer, the Partnership Interests, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale

. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing the Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Sellers, and the Sellers shall sell, convey, assign and transfer to the Buyer, the Partnership Interests, free and clear of all Liens and Permitted Liens (other than those Permitted Liens described in clauses (xii) of the definition thereof), in exchange for cash consideration in the amount of the Purchase Price.

Section 1.2 Closing

. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Partnership Interests (the “Closing”) shall take place as described in Article IX; provided, that the closing conditions set forth in Article VIII shall have been satisfied or waived in writing as provided therein at or prior to the Closing. The date on which the Closing occurs shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money

. On or before the date that is seven (7) days after the Effective Date, and in consideration of the covenants and agreements of the Sellers hereunder, the Buyer shall deposit an amount equal to $30,000,000 (together with any interest accrued thereon, the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit”) with First American Title Insurance Company, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Escrow Agent”).

If the Closing is consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then, at Closing, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit shall be delivered to the Sellers and applied to the payment of the Purchase Price. If the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated for any reason, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit shall be paid as set forth in Section 12.2 hereof.

Section 1.4 Purchase Price Allocation

. Within thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare a draft preliminary allocation of the Purchase Price and applicable liabilities among the Company and its Subsidiaries and their assets (the “Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation”) for the review and approval of the Buyer in a manner consistent with the treatment of Buyer as purchasing all of the assets of the Company pursuant to Revenue Ruling 99-6. The Sellers and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a final Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation prior to the Closing. After the Closing, the Buyer and the Sellers agree to cooperate in good faith to determine the final “Purchase Price Allocation” which shall not deviate substantially from the Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price Allocation shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code. The Buyer and the Company shall file all Tax Returns and information reports in a manner consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation.

ARTICLE II

CONSIDERATION AND MANNER OF PAYMENT

Section 2.1 Payments at Closing

(a) Closing Date Cash Payment. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an aggregate amount equal to the Closing Date Cash Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Sellers. The Sellers shall specify such account in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Payment of Sellers Indebtedness. On the Closing Date, the Sellers shall pay, through the Escrow Agent, from the Closing Date Cash Payment, the Sellers Indebtedness, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Persons or bank accounts and in the amounts specified, in the Collateral Release Letter, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit Q, as the amounts set forth therein are updated pursuant to the Make-Whole Two-Day Notices identified in the form Collateral Release Letter, which shall be completed and provided to the Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Payment of Sellers Transaction Expenses. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid on behalf of the Sellers, the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Estimated Sellers Transaction Expenses, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Persons or bank accounts and in the amounts specified by the Sellers on Schedule 2.1(c) to be provided to the Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Purchase Price Escrow Amount. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deposit an amount in cash equal to $4,000,000 (the “Purchase Price Escrow Amount”) into an escrow account (the “Purchase Price Escrow Account”) with the Escrow Agent, to be held and disbursed pursuant to that certain escrow agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Buyer, the Sellers and the Escrow Agent, substantially in the form and on terms and conditions as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Purchase Price Escrow Agreement”). The Purchase Price Escrow Amount shall be used solely to satisfy any payment obligations of the Sellers under the Purchase Price adjustments set forth in Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

(e) Payment of Company Indebtedness. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid on behalf of the Sellers, the Company Indebtedness, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Persons or bank accounts and in the amounts specified by the Sellers on Schedule 2.1(e) to be provided to the Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

Section 2.2 Adjustments to Purchase Price

(a) Adjustments to Purchase Price at the Closing.

(i) Net Working Capital. Within five (5) to ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Buyer, a certificate of GPT1 that contains a reasonable good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”). If the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital (such deficiency, the “Estimated Net Working Capital Deficit”), then the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such Estimated Net Working Capital Deficit. If the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Estimated Net Working Capital Surplus”), then the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such Estimated Net Working Capital Surplus. The Parties agree that the Net Working Capital will reflect any liability for deferred revenue that the Buyer will earn and recognize for U.S. federal income Tax purposes post-Closing.

(ii) Estimated Cash on Hand, Company Indebtedness and Sellers Transaction Expenses. Within five (5) to ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing

Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Buyer, a certificate of GPT1 that contains a reasonable good faith estimate of (A) the amount of Cash on Hand of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Cash on Hand”), (B) the amount of Company Indebtedness as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Company Indebtedness”) and (C) the amount of unpaid Sellers Transaction Expenses as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Sellers Transaction Expenses”), which estimates shall be, in all cases, reasonably acceptable to the Buyer.

(iii) Estimated Capital Expenditures. Within five (5) to ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Buyer, a certificate of GPT1 that contains a reasonable good faith estimate of the difference between (A) the amount of capital expenditures (the “Estimated Capital Expenditures Amount”) made by the Company and its Subsidiaries for the period beginning on June 30, 2017 and the last day of the most recently ended full calendar month prior to the Closing Date (the “Capital Expenditures Adjustment Period”) and (B) the applicable Capital Expenditure Target (“Capital Expenditure Target”) for such period as defined and as set forth on Schedule 2.2(a)(iii). If the Estimated Capital Expenditures Amount is less than 95% of the applicable Capital Expenditure Target, then the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the difference between (x) 95% of the applicable Capital Expenditure Target and (y) the Estimated Capital Expenditures Amount (the “Estimated Capital Expenditures Deficit”). If the Estimated Capital Expenditures Amount is greater than 105% of the applicable Capital Expenditure Target, then the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the difference between (x) the Estimated Capital Expenditures Amount and (y) 105% of the applicable Capital Expenditure Target (the “Estimated Capital Expenditures Surplus”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be made if the Estimated Capital Expenditures Amount is between (x) 95% of the applicable Capital Expenditure Target and (y) 105% of the applicable Capital Expenditure Target.

(b) Closing Date Schedule. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but no later than the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and cause the Company’s outside accountant, KPMG LLP (the “Outside Accountant”), to review, and deliver to the Buyer: (A) a combined balance sheet of the Company, its Subsidiaries and the LogCo Components, as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”), prepared in accordance with GAAP and applied on a basis consistent with that employed in the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet, and (B) a schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) setting forth a calculation of (i) the Net Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”), (ii) the Cash on Hand of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Cash on Hand”), (iii) the Company Indebtedness as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Company Indebtedness”), (iv) the unpaid Sellers Transaction Expenses as of 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Sellers Transaction Expenses”), (v) the capital expenditures of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Capital Expenditures Adjustment Period (the “Closing Date Capital Expenditures Amount”), and (vi) the amount, if any, by which the

Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Cash on Hand, Closing Date Company Indebtedness, Closing Date Sellers Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Capital Expenditures Amount is less than or greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Cash on Hand, Estimated Company Indebtedness, Estimated Sellers Transaction Expenses or Estimated Capital Expenditures Amount as the case may be. The Sellers shall cause the Outside Accountant to make available to the Buyer and its auditors all records and work papers used in preparing the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Schedule. Fifty percent (50%) of all of the expenses of the Outside Accountant shall be borne by the Buyer, and fifty percent (50%) of all of the expenses of the Outside Accountant shall be borne by the Sellers.

(i) Protest Notice. Within thirty (30) days after the Outside Accountant’s delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Schedule to the Buyer and the Sellers, either Party’s Representative may deliver written notice (the “Protest Notice”), to the other Party, of any objections, and the basis therefor, which such Party may have to the Closing Date Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Schedule. The failure of either the Buyer and/or the Sellers to deliver such Protest Notice within the prescribed time period will constitute the Buyer and/or the Sellers’, as the case may be, irrevocable acceptance of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Schedule prepared and delivered by the Outside Accountant. If either Party delivers a Protest Notice within the prescribed time period, then the Sellers and the Buyer will use Reasonable Efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the items set forth on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Schedule, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Protest Notice. Any undisputed amount due from the Sellers to the Buyer or the Buyer to the Sellers, as the case may be (an “Interim Payment”), shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Protest Notice.

(ii) Resolution of Protest. If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Closing Date Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Schedule within thirty (30) days following the delivery of any Protest Notice, then either the Sellers or the Buyer may refer the items in dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Independent Accountant”). In such case, the Sellers and the Buyer will jointly retain the Independent Accountant and direct it to render a written report setting forth its determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Schedule, resolving any and all items in dispute (as set forth in the Protest Notice), not later than thirty (30) days after the Independent Accountant’s acceptance of its retention. The Sellers and the Buyer shall each submit to the Independent Accountant and to each other a binder setting forth their respective computations of any disputed items set forth on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Schedule and specific information, evidence and support for their respective positions as to all items in dispute. Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall have or conduct any communication, either written or oral, with the Independent Accountant regarding the items referred for determination without the other Party either being present or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication. The Independent Accountant may conduct a conference concerning the objections and disagreements between the Sellers and the Buyer, at which conference each of the Sellers and the Buyer shall have the right to (A) present its documents, materials and other evidence included in its previously provided binder and (B) have present its or their Representatives. The Sellers and the Buyer shall cause their respective Representatives to cooperate reasonably with the Independent Accountant during its engagement and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Independent Accountant, all with

the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all disputes relating to the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Schedule or the Purchase Price as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Independent Accountant shall conduct its review, resolve all disputes and, to the extent necessary, compute any disputed items set forth on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Schedule based solely on the binders submitted by the Sellers and the Buyer (not by independent review). The findings and determinations of the Independent Accountant as set forth in its written report shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either the Sellers or the Buyer, or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either the Sellers or the Buyer, in each case as presented to the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid (x) by the Sellers if the final calculation of the Purchase Price determined by the Independent Accountant is closer to the Purchase Price proposed by the Buyer than the Purchase Price proposed by the Sellers, (y) by the Buyer if the final calculation of the Purchase Price determined by the Independent Accountant is closer to the Purchase Price proposed by the Sellers than the Purchase Price proposed by the Buyer, and (z) otherwise, the Buyer and the Sellers shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of such fees and expenses.

(iii) Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any disputes regarding amounts shown in the Closing Date Balance Sheet or the Closing Schedule shall be resolved solely and exclusively as set forth in this Section 2.2(b). The scope of the disputed items to be resolved by the Independent Accountant shall be limited to whether the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Schedule were prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The findings and determinations of the Independent Accountant as set forth in its written report shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties and shall not be subject to collateral attack for any reason. The Parties shall be entitled to have a judgment entered on such written report in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Final Net Working Capital Adjustment. Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Schedule, or the failure of the Sellers or the Buyer to submit a timely Protest Notice: (A) if the Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Sellers shall cause to be paid to the Buyer the amount of such difference (taking into account any Interim Payments already made) (such deficiency, the “Closing Date Net Working Capital Deficit”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Buyer, or (B) if the Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount of such Closing Date Net Working Capital Surplus (taking into account any Interim Payments already made) (such excess, the “Closing Date Net Working Capital Surplus”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Sellers. Such payments shall include interest from and including the Closing Date, up to, but excluding, the date of payment at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, compounded annually. All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) shall be treated by all Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(d) Final Capital Expenditures Adjustment. Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Schedule,

or the failure of the Sellers or the Buyer to submit a timely Protest Notice: if substituting the Closing Date Capital Expenditures Amount for the Estimated Capital Expenditures Amount in Section 2.2(a)(iii) would have resulted in an Estimated Capital Expenditures Surplus, Estimated Capital Expenditures Deficit or no adjustment (zero) (the “Final Capital Expenditures Adjustment Amount”), the Buyer or Seller shall pay, as applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Buyer or the Seller, as applicable, an amount (taking into account any Interim Payments already made) such that the total actual Purchase Price adjustment contemplated in Section 2.2(a)(iii) with respect to the Estimated Capital Expenditures Amount and this Section 2.2(d) shall be equal to the adjustment applicable to the Final Capital Expenditures Adjustment Amount. Such payments shall include interest from and including the Closing Date, up to, but excluding, the date of payment at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, compounded annually.

(e) Final Cash on Hand, Company Indebtedness and Sellers Transaction Expenses Adjustments.

(i) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Schedule, or the failure of the Sellers or the Buyer to submit a timely Protest Notice (A) if the Closing Date Cash on Hand is less than the Estimated Cash on Hand, then, subject to Section 2.2(e)(iv) below, the Sellers shall cause to be paid to the Buyer the amount of such difference (taking into account any Interim Payments already made) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Buyer, or (B) if the Closing Date Cash on Hand is greater than the Estimated Cash on Hand, then, subject to Section 2.2(e)(iv) below, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount of such difference (taking into account any Interim Payments already made) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Sellers.

(ii) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Schedule, or the failure of the Sellers or the Buyer to submit a timely Protest Notice (A) if the Closing Date Company Indebtedness is greater than the Estimated Company Indebtedness, then, subject to Section 2.2(e)(iv) below, the Sellers shall cause to be paid to the Buyer the amount of such difference (taking into account any Interim Payments already made) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Buyer, or (B) if the Closing Date Company Indebtedness is less than the Estimated Company Indebtedness, then, subject to Section 2.2(e)(iv) below, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount of such difference (taking into account any Interim Payments already made) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Sellers.

(iii) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Schedule, or the failure of the Sellers or the Buyer to submit a timely Protest Notice (A) if the Closing Date Sellers Transaction Expenses are greater than the Estimated Sellers Transaction Expenses, then, subject to Section 2.2(e)(iv) below, the Sellers shall cause to be paid to the Buyer, the amount of such difference (taking into account any Interim Payments already made) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Buyer, or (B) if the Closing Date Sellers Transaction Expenses are less than the Estimated Sellers Transaction Expenses, then, subject to Section 2.2(e)(iv)

below, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount of such difference (taking into account any Interim Payments already made) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by the Sellers.

(iv) The payments under Section 2.2(e)(i) through (iii), if any, shall be aggregated and netted such that there is only one actual payment made to the Sellers or the Buyer. Any payment shall include interest from and including the Closing Date, up to, but excluding, the date of payment at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded annually.

(v) All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2(e) shall be treated by all Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 2.3 Further Adjustments to Purchase Price

. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.2 to the contrary, the following items shall not be adjusted as part of Net Working Capital calculation and adjustment set forth above, and instead the terms of this Section 2.3 shall control:

(a) Pre-Closing Adjustments.

(i) Pre-Closing Estimated Timber Harvest Adjustment. Not later than fifteen (15) days, but in no case more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide to Buyer (A) an updated harvest report (the “Estimated Harvest Report”) in the same form as the 2017-2018 Harvest Plan set forth on Schedule 2.3(a)(i) (the “2017-2018 Harvest Plan”) setting forth the harvest volumes (both actual and, as applicable, reasonably estimated by the Sellers) with respect to the Timberlands by each merchantable timber category set forth on Schedule 2.3(a)(i) during the period from March 31, 2017 through the last day of the most recently ended full calendar month prior to the Closing Date (the “Timber Adjustment Period”), and (B) Sellers’ calculation, prepared in accordance with Schedule 2.3(a)(i) to this Agreement, of the difference between the Timber Adjustment Value for the harvest volumes included in the 2017-2018 Harvest Plan during the Timber Adjustment Period less the Timber Adjustment Value for the harvest volumes included in the Estimated Harvest Report during the Timber Adjustment Period (the “Estimated Timber Adjustment Value”), together with such supporting data as Buyer may reasonably request. The Closing Date Cash Payment shall be adjusted upward or downward, as the case may be, by an amount equal to the Estimated Timber Adjustment Value, as follows: (1) the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced by the amount by which the Estimated Timber Adjustment Value is less than zero, or (2) the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be increased by the amount by which the Estimated Timber Adjustment Value is greater than zero.

(ii) Pre-Closing Land Sales Adjustment. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(a)(iv) below, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the net proceeds received by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with any Land Sales during the Timber Adjustment Period (the “Land Sales Amount”). Not later than fifteen (15) days, but in no case more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide to Buyer (A) a report of the Land Sales during the Timber Adjustment Period and the estimated aggregate dollar amount of net proceeds from all Land Sales actually received by the Company and its

Subsidiaries during the Timber Adjustment Period, together with such supporting data as Buyer may reasonably request and (B) the estimated calculation of the Land Sales Amount (“Estimated Land Sales Amount”). At Closing, the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced by the Estimated Land Sales Amount.

(iii) Pre-Closing Condemnation Adjustment. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(a)(iv) below, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any condemnation proceeds or awards received by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with any Condemnations during the Timber Adjustment Period, net of all reasonable third party costs incurred by the Sellers and/or Company to recover such proceeds (the “Condemnations Amount”). Not later than fifteen (15) days, but in no case more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall provide to the Buyer (A) a report setting forth the aggregate dollar amount of net proceeds received with respect to Condemnations during the Timber Adjustment Period, together with such supporting data as Buyer may reasonably request and (B) the estimated calculation of the Condemnations Amount (the “Estimated Condemnations Amount”).

At Closing, the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced by the Texas DOT Land Sales Amount. Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there shall be no further adjustments made to the Purchase Price for any proceeds or awards received by the Sellers or the Company in connection with the Texas DOT Land Sales. For the avoidance of doubt, any Texas DOT Land Sales that have not been closed on or before the Closing Date shall have no effect on the Purchase Price and are being disclosed by the Sellers for informational purposes only.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustments.

(i) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than the ninetieth (90^th) day after the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and shall deliver to Buyer, a harvest report (the “Actual Harvest Report”) in the same form as the Estimated Harvest Report setting forth the actual harvest volumes with respect to the Timberlands during the Timber Adjustment Period by each merchantable timber category described on Schedule 2.3(a)(i) attached hereto (the “Actual Harvest Amount”), together with such supporting data as Buyer may reasonably request. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Actual Harvest Report to deliver to Sellers written notice (a “Harvest Objection Notice”) of any objection to the calculation of any portion of such Actual Harvest Amount.

(1) If Sellers do not receive a Harvest Objection Notice from Buyer prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to Sellers’ calculation of any portion of the Actual Harvest Amount.

(2) If Buyer delivers a Harvest Objection Notice to Sellers as provided in subparagraph (a) above, then during the thirty (30) day period following receipt of such Harvest Objection Notice, Sellers and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the Actual Harvest Amount. If Sellers and Buyer agree on the calculation of such amount, then such amount shall become final and binding on the Parties. If Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree on any of the disputed calculations within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Harvest Objection Notice, the Parties shall submit outstanding matters relating to the calculation of the Actual Harvest Amount to arbitration pursuant to Section 2.3(f) of this Agreement.

(3) If the Timber Adjustment Value, as finally determined based on the Actual Harvest Amount (the “Final Timber Adjustment Value”), is less than the Estimated Timber Adjustment Value, Sellers shall cause the amount of such adjustment to be paid to Buyer in wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Buyer. If the Final Timber Adjustment Value is greater than Estimated Timber Adjustment Value, Buyer shall pay the amount of such adjustment to Sellers in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3(e) below. The amount to be paid as provided in this Section 2.3(b)(i)(3) is referred to as the “Final Timber Harvest Adjustment.”

(ii) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than the ninetieth (90^th) day after the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and shall deliver to Buyer, (i) an updated report of the Land Sales during the Timber Adjustment Period and the aggregate dollar amount of actual net proceeds from all Land Sales received by the Company and its Subsidiaries during the Timber Adjustment Period (net of all reasonable third party costs incurred by the Sellers and/or Company to recover such proceeds), together with such supporting data as Buyer may reasonably request and (ii) the final calculation of the Land Sales Amount (the “Final Land Sales Amount”). If the Final Land Sales Amount is greater than the Estimated Land Sales Amount, Sellers shall cause the amount of such adjustment to be paid to Buyer in wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Buyer. If the Final Land Sales Amount is less than Estimated Land Sales Amount, Buyer shall pay the amount of such adjustment to Sellers in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3(e) below. If the Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree on the amount of the Final Land Sales Amount within thirty (30) days following Sellers’ delivery of the Final Land Sales Amount, the Parties shall submit outstanding matters relating to the calculation of the Final Land Sales Amount to arbitration pursuant to Section 2.3(f) of this Agreement.

(iii) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than the ninetieth (90^th) day after the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and shall deliver to Buyer, (i) a report setting forth the aggregate dollar amount of all proceeds actually received with respect to Condemnations during the Timber Adjustment Period (net of all reasonable third party costs incurred by the Sellers and/or Company to recover such proceeds), together with such supporting data as Buyer may reasonably request and (ii) the final calculation of the Condemnations Amount (the “Final Condemnations Amount”). If the Final

Condemnations Amount is greater than the Estimated Condemnations Amount, Sellers shall cause the amount of such adjustment to be paid to Buyer in wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Buyer. If the Final Condemnations Amount is less than Estimated Condemnations Amount, Buyer shall pay the amount of such adjustment to Sellers in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3(e) below. If the Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree on the amount of the Final Condemnations Amount within thirty (30) days following Sellers’ delivery of the Final Condemnations Amount, the Parties shall submit outstanding matters relating to the calculation of the Final Condemnations Amount to arbitration pursuant to Section 2.3(f) of this Agreement.

(i) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Sellers shall promptly give notice to Buyer upon obtaining knowledge of any Casualty Loss occurring during the Timber Adjustment Period, together with (a) a written estimate of the volumes of Timberlands affected by such Casualty Loss (both actual and, as applicable, reasonably estimated by Seller) by each merchantable timber category set forth on Schedule 2.3(a)(i) and (b) Sellers’ calculation, prepared in accordance with Schedule 2.3(a)(i) to this Agreement, of the Timber Adjustment Value associated with such Casualty Loss, together with such supporting data as Buyer may reasonably request. Additionally, Buyer shall have until the forty-fifth (45^th) day after the Closing Date to deliver to Sellers written notice of any Casualty Loss that occurred during the Timber Adjustment Period but was not identified by Sellers in accordance with the previous sentence of this Section 2.3(c)(i), together with (a) a written estimate of the volumes of Timberlands affected by such Casualty Loss (both actual and, as applicable, reasonably estimated by Buyer) by each merchantable timber category set forth on Schedule 2.3(a)(i) and (b) Buyer’s calculation, prepared in accordance with Schedule 2.3(a)(i) to this Agreement, of the Timber Adjustment Value associated with such Casualty Loss. If Sellers do not receive notice of such Casualty Loss from Buyer prior to the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its rights to receive an adjustment to the Closing Date Cash Payment in respect of any such Casualty Loss pursuant to this Section 2.3(c), apart from any adjustment to the Closing Date Cash Payment for any portion of such Casualty Loss that was identified by Sellers prior to the Closing pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.3(c)(i). For the purpose of determining the Timber Adjustment Value of the damaged or lost timber resulting from a Casualty Loss, the Timber Adjustment Value for such damaged or lost timber shall be net of the salvage value of such timber to the Buyer after deducting the cost of harvesting and delivering such timber.

(ii) If prior to or after Closing, the Sellers or Buyer provides notice of any Casualty Loss occurring during the Timber Adjustment Period, and either Buyer or the Sellers estimate the aggregate Timber Adjustment Value resulting from Casualty Losses exceeds $5,000,000 (the “Casualty Loss Threshold”), then the Sellers and Buyer shall meet to agree on Timber Adjustment Value.

(iii) If it is determined in accordance with this Section 2.3(c), that the aggregate Timber Adjustment Value resulting from Casualty Losses identified in accordance with subsection (i) above exceeds the Casualty Loss Threshold, then (x) if prior to the Closing Date, the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced by the aggregate Timber

Adjustment Value arising from all such Casualty Losses, without regard to the Casualty Loss Threshold and (y) if after Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause to be paid to the Buyer the aggregate Timber Adjustment Value arising from all such Casualty Losses, without regard to the Casualty Loss Threshold amount (in each case, the “Final Casualty Losses Amount”).

(iv) If it is determined in accordance with this Section 2.3(c), that the aggregate Timber Adjustment Value in connection with Casualty Losses identified in accordance with Section 2.3(c)(i) is less than the Casualty Loss Threshold, no reduction in the Closing Date Cash Payment will be made on account of such Casualty Loss and if applicable, no adjustment or payment shall be made by Sellers to Buyer after the Closing Date.

(v) If the Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree on the Timber Adjustment Value resulting from Casualty Losses prior to Closing and Buyer’s position is that Timber Adjustment Value is greater than the Casualty Loss Threshold, the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced by the amount on which the Parties agree and, following the Closing, the Parties shall submit outstanding matters relating to the calculation of the Timber Adjustment Value arising from Casualty Losses for resolution pursuant to Section 2.3(f) of this Agreement. If Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree on the Timber Adjustment Value with respect to any Casualty Losses first disclosed after Closing within forty-five (45) days of delivery of such notice of Casualty Loss, Sellers and Buyer will refer the matter for resolution as provided in Section 2.3(f).

(d) Pursuant to Section 6.8, if applicable, the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced by the Final ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages Amount.

(e) Payment of any amounts due to a Party following the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 2.3, shall be made by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, to the other Party in United States dollars within thirty (30) days following the date of final determination of the applicable adjustment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, by notice to the other Party. Any payment shall include interest from and including the Closing Date, up to, but excluding, the date of payment at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded annually.

(f) All disputes between the Parties and/or their respective Representatives involving or relating to any adjustments to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.3 shall (i) not delay the Closing and (ii) after the Closing, the Sellers and Buyer will refer the matter to a Forestry Consultant, and each will, within three (3) Business Days after such referral, submit to the Forestry Consultant their respective calculations of the Actual Harvest Amount, the Final Land Sales Amount, the Timber Adjustment Value, the Final Casualty Losses Amount, or the Final ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages Amount, as applicable. Within thirty (30) days of such submissions, the Forestry Consultant shall determine the fair market value of the harvested, damaged, lost or sold timber and Timberlands, in accordance with this Section 2.3 and shall select the amount submitted by the Sellers, the amount submitted by the Buyer or any amount in the range between such amounts as being most representative of the fair market value of such harvested, damaged, lost or sold timber or lands, and the amount so determined by the Forestry Consultant shall be final and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Forestry Consultant in connection with the dispute resolution procedure set forth herein shall be borne in inverse proportion to the extent the final determination by the Forestry Consultant is in agreement with the submission of each Party.

Section 2.4 Manner of Settlement

(a) From and after the Closing Date and until the final determination of all adjustments to the Purchase Price contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, Buyer and Sellers shall make available to one another during normal business hours, the Company/Property Documents, as either of them may reasonably request in connection with the computation of such adjustment, the involvement of either of them in any dispute regarding any adjustment, and the resolution of any such dispute.

(b) The Purchase Price Escrow Account and the Liquid Assets held by the Sellers pursuant to Section 11.12, shall collectively be the sole and exclusive source for the satisfaction of all payment obligations of the Sellers under and pursuant to Section 2.3. All payments made pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be treated by all Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(c) Any payments to be made by Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 shall be made first from the Purchase Price Escrow Account, and if the funds held in the Purchase Price Escrow Account are insufficient to make such payments, from the Liquid Assets held by the Sellers pursuant to Section 11.12.

Section 2.5 Withholding

. The Buyer and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other provision of applicable Tax Law. Such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made. The Buyer and the Escrow Agent are not aware of any requirements to deduct or withhold any amount from any consideration payable to the Sellers or on behalf of the Sellers.

Schedule 6.8 sets forth the agreed upon Estimated Remediation Cost (as defined below) for each item of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages.

(b) Within five (5) to ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a written report (the “Remediation Report”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, (i) all items of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages which have been fully remediated in accordance with the standard remediation set forth on Schedule 6.8, (ii) any items of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages which have not been fully remediated in accordance with the standard of remediation set forth on Schedule 6.8 and (iii) the estimated cost to complete the remediation of any item of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages which have not been fully remediated (the “Estimated Remediation Cost”).

The Parties shall use the Estimated Remediation Cost set forth in Schedule 6.8 for any items for which remediation has not commenced and as the basis for determining the remaining Estimated Remediation Cost for any items that remediation has commenced but not completed.

(c) Within twenty-one (21) days after delivery of the Remediation Report, the Buyer may deliver written notice to the Sellers (a “Remediation Protest Notice”) of any objections, and the basis therefor, which the Buyer may have to the Remediation Report. The failure of the Buyer to deliver such Remediation Protest Notice within the prescribed time period will constitute the Buyer’s irrevocable acceptance of the Remediation Report delivered by the Sellers. If Buyer delivers a Remediation Protest Notice within the prescribed time period, then the Buyer and the Sellers will use Reasonable Efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the items identified in the Remediation Protest Notice, within three (3) days after delivery of the Remediation Protest Notice.

(d) If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Remediation Report within three (3) days following the delivery of a Remediation Protest Notice, then the Buyer and the Sellers will refer the items in dispute to a Forestry Consultant. Within fifteen (15) days of such submission to a Forestry Consultant, the Forestry Consultant shall conclusively resolve any unresolved disputes regarding the Remediation Report, including, without limitation, (i) a determination as to whether or not any item of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages has been fully remediated in accordance with the standard of remediation set forth on Schedule 6.8, and (ii) a determination of the accuracy of, or any necessary adjustments to, the Estimated Remediation Cost provided by the Sellers with respect to any item of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages that is determined to not have been fully remediated. The costs and expenses of the Forestry Consultant in connection with the dispute resolution procedure set forth herein shall be paid (x) by the Sellers if the final calculation of the Estimated Remediation Cost determined by the Forestry Consultant is closer to the Estimated Remediation Cost proposed by the Buyer than the Estimated Remediation Cost proposed by the Sellers, (y) by the Buyer if the final calculation of the Estimated Remediation Cost determined by the Forestry Consultant is closer to the Estimated Remediation Cost proposed by the Sellers than the Estimated Remediation Cost proposed by the Buyer, and (z) otherwise, the Buyer and the Sellers shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of such fees and expenses.

(e) To the extent that any item of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages, as set forth on Schedule 6.8, has not been fully remediated in accordance with the standard of remediation set forth on Schedule 6.8 as of the Closing (as definitively determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.8(b) through Section 6.8(d) above), the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced by the Estimated Remediation Cost assigned to such item of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages (as definitively determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.8(b) through Section 6.8(d) above) (the “Final ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Damages Amount”).

Section 6.9 Assignment of Contracts

(b) To the extent that any LogCo Assignments require the consent of a third Person under any LogCo Agreement, and such consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful. Upon the request of the Buyer, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing Date to obtain, or cause such LogCo LLC to obtain, such required consents as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any such attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair the Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or any of the LogCo Agreements so that the Buyer will not receive the benefit of all such rights following the Closing, the Sellers, shall after the Closing Date act as the Buyer’s agent, if legally permissible, in a commercially reasonable manner to obtain the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate with the Buyer to provide such benefits to the Buyer; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.9(b) to the contrary, (a) the Buyer shall pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment of such benefits to the extent the Buyer, the Company or the Subsidiaries would have been responsible therefor if such consent or approval had been obtained, (b) neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall be obligated to pay any fees, costs or consideration, or incur any liability that is not otherwise reimbursed by the Buyer, to any Person from whom any such consent is requested, (b) the Sellers shall not be obligated to file or make any claim or institute legal proceedings against any third party and (c) the Seller shall not be obligated to enter into any alternative arrangements that would result in a breach of any LogCo Agreement or not permissible by Law.

Section 7.4 Actions with Respect to Financing

(a) The Buyer and its Affiliates will use Reasonable Efforts to perform all obligations required to be performed by them in accordance with and pursuant to the Commitment Letters delivered pursuant to Section 5.7. The Buyer and its Affiliates will maintain the same in full force and effect, and, except as permitted by Section 7.4(d), will not amend, terminate or waive any provisions under such Commitment Letters without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Buyer and its Affiliates agree that if any counterparty to any such Commitment Letter is in breach of, or fails to perform, its obligations thereunder, then the Buyer and its Affiliates will promptly notify the Sellers of such breach or failure, and will use Reasonable Efforts to take actions necessary to enforce their rights under such Commitment Letters in the event of a breach by any financing source or the occurrence of any other event or

condition that impedes or delays or would reasonably be expected to impede or delay the Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Buyer nor its Affiliates shall be required to seek specific enforcement of or commence or prosecute any Legal Proceedings to enforce the Debt Financing Sources’ obligations set forth in, the Debt Commitment Letter.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (x) Buyer shall not permit, without the prior written consent of the Sellers, any amendment or

modification to be made to, or any termination, rescission or withdrawal of, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Parent Equity Commitment Letter or any External Equity Commitment Letter and (y) Buyer shall not permit (including by amendment, waiver or otherwise) or consent to, without the prior written consent of the Sellers, any assignment, reduction or novation of any commitment of Parent or any External Equity Financing Source under the Parent Equity Commitment Letter or any External Equity Commitment Letter.

The Buyer acknowledges receipt and approval of the Approved Title Commitments and the exceptions expressly set forth therein, subject to Seller’s obligation to cure certain title exception matters set forth on attached Schedule 7.6 (“Schedule 7.6 Title Exceptions”). Prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall remove or cure the Schedule 7.6 Title Exceptions to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction; provided, however, the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event the Sellers failure to remove or cure any Schedule 7.6 Title Exceptions shall be as set forth in Section 7.6(d) below. Any Schedule 7.6 Title Exceptions the Sellers have failed to remove or cure by the Closing Date shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Uncured Schedule 7.6 Title Exception”.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use Reasonable Efforts to cause to be delivered to Buyer the Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Commitments. Buyer shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of any Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Commitment to object to any Title Failure set forth therein. If the Buyer fails to object to any Title Failures set forth in a Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Commitment (other than Monetary Liens) within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Commitment shall be deemed approved by Buyer and all such matters set forth therein shall be deemed Permitted Liens. Any such objection to a Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Commitment timely submitted by Buyer is referred to herein as a “Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Failure”. A Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Commitment approved or deemed approved by Buyer hereunder shall thereafter be deemed to be an Approved Title Commitment for all purposes under this Agreement. The Sellers shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Buyer’s objections to give the Buyer: (i) notice that the Sellers will cause such objectionable Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Failures to be removed or cured on or before the Closing Date; or (ii) notice that the Sellers elect not to cause such Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Failure to be removed or cured. Any Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Failures that the Sellers have elected not to remove or cure or which Sellers, after electing to remove or cure, fail to remove or cure by the Closing Date, shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Uncured Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Failure”.

(c) Prior to the Closing Date and specifically excluding the Second Stage Corrective Deed Properties (which is addressed in subparagraph (b) above), the Buyer shall have the limited right to review and notify the Sellers of New Title Exceptions. The term “New Title Exceptions” shall mean (x) any exceptions, encumbrances or requirements not expressly set forth in the Approved Title Commitments, (y) any exceptions, encumbrances or requirements set forth in any Main Stage Corrective Deed Title Commitment or identified by the Title Company in connection with any Additional Search Parcels or (z) any deletion and/or adverse modification to the legal descriptions of the Timberlands (or the Company’s interest therein) set forth on Schedule A to the Approved Title Commitments by the Title Company, including any Title Failure, where the same was shown as owned by the Company or the Subsidiaries in the GIS shape files made available to the Buyer on or before the Effective Date; provided however, the term “New Title Exceptions” shall specifically exclude (and the Buyer shall have no right to object to) title matters which are (i) the result of the Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ acts, (ii) are already exceptions or encumbrances to title set forth in the Approved Title Commitments, (iii) were entered into by or on behalf of the Company in the Ordinary Course of Business or are otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement, (iv) are title exceptions set forth in any title report or examiner’s search/report for any Main Stage Corrective Deed Properties or any Additional Search Parcels received prior to the Effective Date, (v) are included in the definition of Permitted Liens other than as defined in clauses (ii), (iii), (ix) (provided, however, in no event shall the foregoing be deemed to override the Buyer’s ability to object to any title matters arising in connection with clause (xvi) of such definition), (xiii), (xvii)-(xx) and (xxii) in the definition thereof. If the Buyer fails to object to any New Title Exception (other than Monetary Liens) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such revised Initial Title Commitment, the New Title Exception shall be deemed waived by the Buyer

and such New Title Exceptions shall be deemed to be Permitted Liens. The Sellers shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Buyer’s objections to give the Buyer: A) notice that the Sellers will cause such objectionable New Title Exceptions to be removed or cured on or before the Closing Date; or (B) notice that the Sellers elect not to cause such New Title Exception to be removed or cured. Any New Title Exceptions that the Sellers have elected not to remove or cure or which Seller, after electing to remove or cure, fails to remove or cure by the Closing Date, shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Uncured New Title Exception”.

(d) At Closing, the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any Uncured Schedule 7.6 Title Exception, Uncured Second Stage Corrective Deed Title Failure and/or Uncured New Title Exception (collectively, the “Uncured Title Exceptions”) shall be as follows: (x) if the Uncured Title Exceptions have in the aggregate, a four million dollars ($4,000,000) or more adverse monetary impact on the Company any of the Subsidiaries or the Timberlands (“Title Basket”), the Closing Date Cash Payment shall be reduced by the amount of the adverse monetary impact of such Uncured Title Exceptions without reduction for the Title Basket; and (y) if the adverse monetary impact of such Uncured Title Exceptions do not exceed the Title Basket, then the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted all of the Uncured Title Exceptions and such Uncured Title Exceptions shall be deemed Permitted Liens and the Parties shall proceed with the Closing. All disputes between the Parties and/or their respective Representatives involving or relating to whether the Uncured Title Exceptions exceeds or does not exceed the Title Basket shall be referred to a Forestry Consultant. Each Party will, at a mutually agreed time within three days after such referral, submit to the Forestry Consultant their respective calculations of the adverse monetary impact of the Uncured Title Exceptions; provided, however, in the event of any Title Failure, the parties stipulate and agree that the adverse monetary impact of such Title Failure shall be equal to the Agreed Land Acre Value of the tract of Timberlands subject to such Title Failure. Within thirty (30) days of such submissions, the Forestry Consultant shall determine the fair adverse monetary impact of the Uncured Title Exceptions in accordance with this Section 7.6(d) and shall select any amount between the Sellers’ and Buyer’s submissions as being most representative of the adverse monetary impact, and the amount so determined by the Forestry Consultant shall be final and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Forestry Consultant in connection with the dispute resolution procedure set forth herein shall be borne in inverse proportion to the extent the final determination by the Forestry Consultant is in agreement with the submission of each Party.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without further notice of objection by Buyer, Seller shall be obligated to cure, on or before the Closing Date, all Monetary Liens. In no event shall Buyer be obligated to object to any Monetary Liens, and Seller shall be required to cure all such Monetary Liens on or prior to Closing.

Section 7.7 Supply Agreements

. Buyer hereby agrees to (a) provide Sellers, IP and GP with all information required by the proposed Caddo Supply Agreements and the Original Master Stumpage Agreements in connection with the request for the consent to the assignment and assumption of the Caddo Supply Agreements, including, without limitation, the identity of creditworthy entities (that have the financial and operational resources and capacity to meet the obligations under the Caddo Supply Agreements) that Buyer proposes to substitute for Sellers and Sellers’ affiliates under the

Caddo Supply Agreements and (b) enter into new master stumpage agreements substantially similar to the Original Master Stumpage Agreements with creditworthy entities (that have the financial and operational resources and capacity to meet the obligations under the new master stumpage agreements) (the “New Stumpage Agreements”). Buyer shall exercise Reasonable Efforts to (x) provide such information as IP and/or GP may reasonably request or require, (y) satisfy the requirements and conditions of Caddo Supply Agreements with respect to the assignment and assumption of the Caddo Supply Agreements, and (z) cause the completion of the assignment and assumption of the Caddo Supply Agreements.

(b) If the Limited Phase II Report does not identify any exceedance of the TRRP PCL, then the Parties shall proceed with the Closing without any reduction in price or credit to Buyer or any remediation obligation, relating to the Former Jasper Truck Shop Landfill.

(c) If the Limited Phase II Report does identify any exceedance of the TRRP PCL, but does not recommend an Expanded Phase II Investigation, then:

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim, to conduct, at its expense, the defense against such Third Party Claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party, with legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnified Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does elect to conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise and settle the Third Party Claim only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim or cease to defend against such Third Party Claim, unless pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, (i) no injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, (ii) does not contain any admission of liability or wrongdoing and (iii) no liability or financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party is imposed or created and each claimant or plaintiff in such Third Party Claim has given to the Indemnified Party an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim.

Each Party hereby waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Article XI for any Losses relating to any matter to the extent that (i) there is included in the Latest Balance Sheet a specific liability or reserve relating to such matter, if and to the extent that the applicability of any liability or reserve to a particular representation or warranty made herein is readily apparent; (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have otherwise been compensated for such matter pursuant to the Purchase Price adjustment under Section 2.2 hereof; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have otherwise been compensated for such matter pursuant to, or the Loss was taken into account under, any other provision of this Agreement, so as to avoid duplication or “double counting” of the same Loss; or (iv) such Losses are consequential, indirect, incidental or punitive damages;; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit a Person’s ability to recover any such Losses (A) to the extent paid in connection with a Third Party Claim or (B) to the extent permitted by clause (vi); or (vi) such Losses are based upon any multiplier of profits, earnings, or cash flow, including, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation or amortization or any other valuation metric; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit a Person’s ability to recover any such Losses in connection with an inaccuracy in or breach of Section 3.8 (Financial Statements) hereof.

(c) The Indemnified Parties shall take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take, Reasonable Efforts to mitigate and otherwise minimize their Losses to the extent reasonably practicable upon and after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses.

(d) If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against such third party as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from such third party the amount of such indemnification payment.

Section 11.8 Limitation on Indemnification

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be liable hereunder to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 11.3(a) or Section 11.4(a) as a result of any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company or the Sellers as set forth in Article III or Article IV or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a), if with respect to any individual item of Loss, such item is less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (each, a “Minor Claim”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be liable hereunder to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 11.3(a) or Section 11.4(a) as a result of any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company or the Sellers as set forth in Article III or Article IV or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a), except to the extent that the Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties as a result of such breaches shall exceed in the aggregate Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and then only to the extent of such excess (the “Deductible”), provided, however, in no case will any Minor Claims be included or considered as Losses for purposes of calculating or administering the Deductible.

(c) The aggregate amount required to be paid by (i) the Sellers pursuant to Section 11.3(a) and Section 11.4(a) as a result of any breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company or the Sellers as set forth in Article III or Article IV or in any certificate delivered by the Company or Sellers pursuant to Section 8.2(a), or (ii) the Buyer pursuant to Section 11.5(a) as a result of any breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Buyer as set forth in Article V or in any certificate delivered by the Buyer pursuant to Section 8.3(a), shall not exceed in the aggregate Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) (the “Cap Amount”).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 11.8(a), 11.8(b) and 11.8(c) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.1 (Organization and Qualification), Section 3.2 (Authorization; Enforceability), Section 3.4 (Capitalization), Section 3.11 (Taxes), Section 4.1 (Organization; Authorization; Enforceability), and Section 4.2 (Title to Partnership Interests).

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if on or before the Effective Date, the Buyer has Knowledge of any fact, event, circumstance or information that would cause or establish one or more of the representations and warranties made by any Indemnifying Party in this Agreement, or in any document delivered in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to be inaccurate, erroneous, untrue, incorrect or incomplete, in whole or part, as of the date made, then the Buyer (or any Indemnified Party claiming through Buyer) shall have no right to assert any claim for indemnification hereunder or to seek any remedy after the Closing with respect to such inaccuracy, error, falsity, mistake or omission or any such breach of representations and warranties and shall be deemed to have waived its rights to indemnification hereunder for Losses in respect thereof.

(f) Except as provided in Section 11.3, no claim shall be brought or maintained by the Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, equity holder or employee (present or former) of the Sellers, or any officer, director or employee (present or former) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company or the Sellers set forth or contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder, except to the extent that the same shall have been the result of fraud or criminal conduct by any such Person (and in the event of such fraud or criminal conduct, such recourse shall be brought or granted solely against the Person or Persons committing such fraud or criminal conduct).

(g) The Buyer, the Company, their Subsidiaries and their respective successors and permitted assigns, hereby waive any right to seek contribution or other recovery from any officer, director, equityholder or employee (present or former) of the Sellers, or any officer, director or employee (present or former) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that any of them may now or in the future have under any Environmental Law. The Buyer, the Company, their Subsidiaries and their respective successors and permitted assigns hereby release all officers, directors, equityholders and employees (present or former) of the Sellers, and all officers, directors or employees (present or former) of the Company and its Subsidiaries from any and all such claims, demands and causes of action that any of them may now or in the future have under such Environmental Law.

(h) Any payments made pursuant to Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 shall constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by all Parties on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law.

Section 11.9 Exclusion of Other Remedies

. The Parties agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the indemnification or reimbursement obligations of the Parties set forth in this Article XI shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for any Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of the matters set forth in this Agreement and the Other Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby other than to the extent expressly set forth in Section 4 of the Employee Matters Agreement. The provisions of this Section 11.9 will not, however, prevent or limit a cause of action (a) on account of fraud or criminal conduct, (b) under Section 2.2(b) to enforce any decision or determination of the Independent Accountant or under Section 2.3(f) to enforce any determination of any arbitration conducted pursuant to such section, or (c) under Section 14.16 to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of any covenants set forth in this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including to enforce the provisions of Section 7.4 (subject to the limitations contained therein). Nothing in this Section 11.9 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of, any Party’s fraudulent or criminal conduct.

Section 11.10 Limitations on Liability

. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, general or limited partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any Party hereto or of any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any Party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim or action based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether based on contract, tort or strict liability or other theory, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any applicable Law or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of any Party or other Person or otherwise.

Section 11.11 Tax Matters

(a) Tax Return Filing—Pass-Through Income Tax Returns. Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared, at their cost and expense, all Pass-Through Income Tax Returns (including the Pass-Through Income Tax Returns for the Company taxable year ending on the Closing Date), in each case, for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (such Tax Returns, the “Seller Returns”). Sellers shall timely file all Seller Returns prepared pursuant to this Section 11.11(a).

(b) Tax Return Filing—Other Returns. Buyer shall, at its cost and expense, prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed (taking into account all extensions of time to file), all Tax Returns (excluding Seller Returns) of the Company and its Subsidiaries for Tax periods ending on or before or that include the Closing Date, in each case, the due date of which (taking into account extensions of time to file) is after the Closing Date but only if not filed by the Company prior to the Closing (such Tax Returns, the “Buyer Returns”). All Buyer Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent with the past procedures and practices and accounting methods of the Company, unless otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law and so long as such positions are “more likely than not” (or at a higher confidence level) to be sustained if audited. Buyer shall cause the Company to timely file (taking into account all extensions of time to file) all Buyer Returns prepared pursuant to this Section 11.11(b).

(c) Cooperation. The Buyer, the Company and the Sellers shall cooperate in good faith, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 11.11 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes and the computation and verification of any amounts paid or payable under this Agreement (including any supporting work papers, schedules and documents). Such cooperation shall include (upon the other Party’s request) the

provision of records and information within such Party’s control which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(d) Tax Treatment. The Buyer, the Sellers and the Company intend that for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes the acquisition of the Partnership Interests pursuant to this Agreement be treated as in the manner provided in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 99-6, Situation 2 and agree to file all income Tax Returns consistent with such intent. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Buyer and the Sellers shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, take any position inconsistent with the form of the transactions set forth in this Agreement in any filing made by each such Party with any Taxing Authority.

(e) Indemnified Taxes; Tax Claims. Sellers shall indemnify Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries upon demand for any Indemnified Taxes. If, after the Closing Date, any Taxing Authority issues to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries a written notice of its intent to audit, examine or conduct an audit, examination, or other proceeding, in each case with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Tax Claim”), Buyer will give prompt notice to Sellers of such Tax Claim following receipt; provided, however, that no failure or delay by Buyer to provide such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of Sellers hereunder, except and only to the extent that Sellers are materially prejudiced in their defense of such matter by such failure or delay.

(i) In the case of a Tax Claim with respect to a Pass-Through Income Tax Return of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Sellers shall represent and defend the Company at Sellers’ sole cost and expense. The Sellers will not permit the Company or its partnership representative to make an election pursuant to Section 1101(g)(4) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 or Treasury Regulations Section 301.9100-22T to apply the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures in the case of any audit of any taxable year of the Company beginning before January 1, 2018, and in the case of any Tax audit of the Company’s taxable year ending on the Closing Date, the Company or its partnership representative shall elect under Section 6226 of the Code and any Treasury Regulations or other IRS Guidance thereunder (and take all other actions necessary under the Code and any Treasury Regulations or other IRS Guidance to make such election effective) to not apply Section 6225 of the Code and to have each partner of the Company (in the year under audit) take into account its share of any adjustments.

(ii) In the case of a Tax Claim solely with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, other than with respect to a Pass-Through Income Tax Return of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Sellers will have the option, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, to elect to control such Tax Claim; provided that Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, will have the right to participate in any such Tax Claim and that Sellers (1) will keep Buyer reasonably informed concerning the progress of any such Tax Claim, and (2) will provide Buyer copies of all correspondence and other documents relevant to any such Tax Claim. Sellers agree not to settle such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iii) Buyer shall have the right to control any Tax Claim that is not described in the foregoing paragraphs (i) and (ii), including any Tax Claim described in paragraph (ii) that Sellers do not elect to control, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of such Tax Claim, pursuant to this Section 11.11(e) (each, a “Buyer’s Tax Claim”).

Section 11.12 Liquidity Covenant

. To ensure that Sellers have sufficient available funding in order to ensure that Sellers meet their indemnification payment obligations as and when arising pursuant to this Article XI, CP Parent LP agrees to continuously maintain Liquid Assets having a market value of at least $30,000,000 (“Liquid Assets Threshold”) for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing Date (“Liquid Assets Threshold Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (i) the Liquid Assets Threshold shall be reduced dollar for dollar for any amounts paid to the Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to this Article XI and (ii) if any Buyer Indemnified Party has made a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI that has not been finally resolved during the Liquid Assets Threshold Period, solely for such claim(s), the Liquid Assets Threshold Period shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after the final resolution of such claim(s) and the Liquid Assets Threshold shall be reduced to an amount reasonably necessary to fully pay such claim(s), if necessary. The Sellers shall direct the financial institution in which the cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable securities are maintained to deliver to the Buyer monthly bank statements verifying CP Parent LP’s compliance with this Section 11.12 for so long as CP Parent LP remains subject to the requirements of this Section 11.12. This Section 11.12 shall automatically terminate on the expiration of the Liquid Assets Threshold Period (as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.12).

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 12.1(f) hereof (or pursuant to Section 12.1(b) in the event that such termination is deemed a termination under Section 12.1(f) pursuant to the proviso to Section 12.1(f)), the Sellers shall be entitled to draw $5,000,000 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Escrow Agreement (the “Second Termination Fee”, and together with the First Termination Fee, as applicable, the “Applicable Termination Fee”) and, simultaneously with the Sellers receiving the Second Termination Fee, the Sellers shall cause the Escrow Agent to return the remaining amount of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit to the Buyer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the Sellers and the Company (on behalf of itself and each of its former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees and Representatives) hereby waives any rights or claims (including any claims to specific performance) against any Debt Financing Source or any of its Affiliates and any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees or Representatives (collectively, including the Debt Financing Sources, the “Debt Financing Source Related Parties”) in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and each of the Sellers and the Company (on behalf of itself and each of its former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees and Representatives) agrees not to commence (and if commenced, agrees to dismiss or otherwise terminate and not to assist) any dispute, suit, claim, litigation, investigation, proceeding or other action against any Debt Financing Source Related Party in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is agreed that no Debt Financing Source Related Party shall have any liability for any Loss to any of the Sellers or the Company (or any of its former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees and Representatives) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.2(f) shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing Agreements.

(v) the Sellers have notified the Buyer in writing that all conditions set forth in Section 8.3 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied by action taken at the Closing (each of which is then capable of being satisfied)) or that the Sellers are waiving any such unsatisfied conditions for the purpose of consummating the Closing, and the Sellers are ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing, Parent Equity Financing and External Equity Financings are funded.

(c) In no event shall the exercise of the Company’s and Sellers right to pursue a grant of specific performance pursuant to this Section 14.17 reduce, restrict or otherwise limit the Sellers’ right to terminate this Agreement and receive payment of the Applicable Termination Fee; provided that under no circumstance shall the Sellers be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 14.17(b) (to the extent the Closing actually occurs) and any payment of the Applicable Termination Fee.

Section 14.18 Non-Solicitation

. Commencing upon the Effective Date, and terminating on the date that is the one year anniversary of either the Closing Date or the earlier date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Buyer will not, without the prior written consent of CG, directly or indirectly, for itself or any other person or entity, employ or retain, or knowingly solicit or seek to employ or retain, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any individual who is now employed by the Sellers or CG or who becomes employed by the Sellers or CG between the date hereof and the Closing Date (each, a “CG Employee”); provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit general solicitations through newspapers, trade journals, or similar media or through search firms or recruiters (provided that such search firms or recruiters shall be instructed by the Buyer not to solicit any CG Employee), so long as any such general solicitations are not specifically directed at any CG Employee who responds to such a general solicitation or who otherwise seeks employment with Buyer without solicitation by the Buyer; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Buyer from hiring any person that was previously a CG Employee, but is no longer employed by CG. Notwithstanding the foregoing to

the contrary, within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Sellers and/or CG shall provide written notice to the Buyer of any CG Employee that the Sellers and/or CG determine to be exempt from the restriction in this Section 14.18, in which event the restriction of this Section 14.18 shall not apply to such CG Employee; provided, however, there shall be no obligation or requirement that such CG Employee be hired or employed by the Buyer, and in no event may any CG Employee be hired by the Buyer or its Affiliate prior to Closing.
