The Closing Balance Sheets shall be prepared according to Brazilian GAAP under the corporate law method, on a basis consistent with that which has been used by SELLER in preparation of the Guaíba Pro Forma Balance Sheet and ARG Balance Sheet, except for the rules set forth in Section 3.2.1.2 hereunder. The Closing Balance Sheets shall be reviewed by PriceWaterhouseCoopers of Rio Grande do Sul to be hired by the PURCHASER.

3.2.1.1 The Parties hereby agree that within 48 hours from the Closing Date, PURCHASER and PURCHASER’s independent accounting firm shall perform physical counting of the Inventories and SELLER will be authorized to be present at that exercise.

3.2.1.2 The Parties hereby agree that the following rules must be observed for purposes of evaluating the Inventories (regardless that they deviate from Brazilian GAAP):

(i)

pulp finished products must be valued at US$500/ton at mill site or US$512/ton at Rio Grande Port; and

(ii)

paper finished products must be valued at US$900/ton at mill site.

3.2.2 Within 10 (ten) calendar days following receipt of the Closing Balance Sheets, SELLER shall inform PURCHASER whether SELLER agrees or not with the Closing Balance Sheets based on the SELLER’s independent accounting firm opinion. In the absence of such communication it shall be deemed for all legal purposes that SELLER agrees with the Closing Balance Sheets.

3.2.3 If SELLER agrees with the Closing Balance Sheets, PURCHASER and SELLER shall settle any difference found. If the Closing Working Capital in the Closing Balance Sheets exceeds the Agreed Working Capital, PURCHASER shall pay or cause to be paid an additional amount to SELLER equal to such excess. If the Closing Working Capital in the Closing Balance Sheets is lower than the Agreed Working Capital, SELLER shall restitute or cause to be restituted an amount to PURCHASER equal to such difference. In each case, the amount of such difference shall be referred to as the “Working Capital Price Adjustment”.

3.2.4 The Working Capital Price Adjustment shall be paid within 10 (ten) calendar days following SELLER’s notice to PURCHASER stating its agreement with the Closing Balance Sheets or upon such 10 (ten) calendar days if no objection is received by PURCHASER. Payment will be made in Reais in Brazil in immediately available funds, pursuant to reasonable payment instructions to be furnished by one Party to the other not less than 3 days prior to the date on which the Working Capital Price Adjustment is due. Any payment made in respect of the Working Capital Price Adjustment shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price for all tax purposes, and each Party shall bear with any and all tax consequences arising out of such adjustment.

3.2.5 If SELLER does not agree with the Closing Balance Sheets, PURCHASER, PURCHASER’s independent accounting firm, SELLER and SELLER’s independent accounting firm shall try to come to an amicable agreement for the matter in 7 (seven) Business Days following SELLER’s notice to PURCHASER stating its disagreement with the Closing Balance Sheets. If they do not reach an acceptable agreement within such timeframe, then the matter shall be referred to an independent accounting firm selected by SELLER from a list of 3 firms indicated by PURCHASER (“Third Independent Accountants”) which will resolve the differences – and only the differences – between PURCHASER’s accounting and SELLER’s accounting, and issue a report reflecting the Third Independent Accountants’ calculation of Closing Working Capital within 3 weeks of the date the Third Independent Accountants were engaged. Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Third Independent Accountants, an engagement letter containing reasonable terms. The cost of such review and report prepared by the Third Independent Accountants will be borne by PURCHASER and SELLER in the proportion of the difference between the amount claimed by the relevant Party as the applicable Closing Working Capital and the actual Closing Working Capital calculated by the Third Independent Accountants. The Third Independent Accountants’ calculation of the Closing Working Capital shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto, even if provided by the Third Independent Accountants later than within the term mentioned above (3 weeks from engagement). Immediately upon release of the Third Independent Accountants’ report, Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 above shall apply for purposes of calculation and payment of any Working Capital Price Adjustment.

Upon signing of this Agreement, SELLER shall not harvest (i) any standing forest not included in the Program, that is located closer to the Guaíba mill than the weighted average distance indicated in the Program, nor (ii) any standing forest younger than 7 years old (“Premature”).

3.3.2.2 If in the assessment mentioned in Section 3.3.2.1 above PURCHASER verifies that Premature forest has been harvested between June 1^st, 2009 and Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the difference between the actual transport cost as stated in Schedule 3.3.2 of the volume of Premature forest harvested and the transport cost considering the average distance of 80 km to the mill.
