RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of September 26, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), is by and among KAPSTONE KRAFT PAPER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“KapStone Kraft”), KAPSTONE CONTAINER CORPORATION, a Georgia corporation (“KapStone Container”), LONGVIEW FIBRE PAPER AND PACKAGING, INC., a Washington corporation (“Longview”), and KAPSTONE CHARLESTON KRAFT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“KapStone Charleston”, and together with KapStone Kraft, KapStone Container and Longview, the “Originators”), KAPSTONE PAPER AND PACKAGING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as servicer (the “Servicer”), and KAPSTONE RECEIVABLES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I attached hereto (or, if not defined in Exhibit I attached hereto, the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I to the Purchase Agreement).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

The Originators now own, and from time to time hereafter will own, certain Receivables. Upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from and after the Effective Date (a) KapStone Kraft wishes (i) to sell and assign to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to purchase from KapStone Kraft, all of KapStone Kraft’s right, title and interest in and to all of KapStone Kraft’s existing and future Receivables (other than Contributed Receivables), together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing and (ii) to contribute to the Buyer’s capital all of KapStone Kraft’s right, title and interest in and to all of KapStone Kraft’s existing and future Contributed Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing, and the Buyer wishes to accept such capital contributions, and (b) each other Originator wishes to sell and assign to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to purchase from such other Originator, all of each such other Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all existing and future Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing.

Each Originator and the Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales (and, solely in the case of any contribution by KapStone Kraft referenced in clause (a)(ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, true contributions) of the Receivables Assets from the Originators to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables Assets, and none of the Originators and the Buyer intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Buyer to any Originator secured by the Receivables Assets.

Immediately following its acquisition of the Receivables Assets from the Originators, the Buyer will sell or otherwise transfer undivided interests in the

Receivables to certain Purchasers pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of September 26, 2014 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Buyer, the Servicer, the purchasers from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Purchasers (together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I
Amounts and Terms

Section 1.1. Purchase and Contribution of Receivables.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Date, KapStone Kraft hereby contributes, assigns, transfers and otherwise conveys to the Buyer’s capital, without recourse to KapStone Kraft (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Buyer hereby accepts, all of KapStone Kraft’s right, title and interest in and to all of KapStone Kraft’s Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date, and all of KapStone Kraft’s right, title and interest in and to all of KapStone Kraft’s Receivables existing as of or arising after the Initial Cutoff Date through and including the Termination Date, in each case, to the extent necessary to cause the Outstanding Balance of the contributed Receivables to be equal to the Required Contributed Amount (collectively, the “Contributed Receivables”), together with all Related Security and Collections associated therewith (collectively, the “Contributed Receivables Assets”). Effective as of the Effective Date, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each of the Originators hereby sells, assigns, transfers and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Buyer hereby purchases from each Originator, all of such Originators’ right, title and interest in and to all Receivables (other than Contributed Receivables) existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date and all Receivables (other than Contributed Receivables) thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date (collectively, the “Purchased Receivables”), together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof (collectively, the “Purchased Receivables Assets”, together with the Contributed Receivables Assets, the “Receivables Assets”). In accordance with the preceding two sentences, on the Effective Date, the Buyer shall acquire all of the Originators’ right, title and interest in and to the Receivables Assets. The Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for each Receivable purchased from any Originator hereunder in accordance with Section 1.2.

(b) On each Monthly Reporting Date the Originators shall (or shall require the Servicer to) deliver to the Buyer a report in substantially the form of Exhibit IV hereto (each

such report, a “Purchase Report”) with respect to the Receivables sold and/or contributed by the Originators to the Buyer during the Calculation Period then most recently ended.

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale and/or contribution, which sale and/or contribution, as the case may be, is absolute and irrevocable and provides the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables Assets. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.3, each transfer of Receivables Assets hereunder is made without recourse to any of the Originators for losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial or credit condition of the related Obligor resulting in the inability to pay in respect of an Obligor; provided, however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by it pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and (ii) such transfer does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Originators or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables Assets or any other obligations of the Originators. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase and contribution shall constitute a true sale and/or true contribution of Receivables Assets, rather than a loan secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the Effective Date and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii), either (A) include a notation in its master data processing records relating to the Receivables to indicate that the Sold Receivables and the Contributed Receivables are “SOLD RECEIVABLES,” or (B) ▇▇▇▇ or program its customer master table so that all reports printed therefrom relating to the Receivables will contain “SOLD RECEIVABLES” in the title of such report.

Section 1.2. Payment for the Purchase.

(a) The Purchase Price for each Purchased Receivable shall become owing in full by the Buyer to the applicable Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable comes into existence and shall be paid not later than the next Payment Date as follows:

(i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to the Servicer, for the account of the applicable Originators, in immediately available funds, to the extent of Available Cash on such Payment Date, in the following order:

first, the Purchase Price for the Receivables sold by each Originator hereunder; and

second, to reduce the principal amount outstanding under each Originator’s Subordinated Note to a balance not less than zero;

(ii) to the extent that any portion of the Purchase Price owing to an Originator remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under such Originator’s Subordinated Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the remaining unpaid

portion of such Purchase Price, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(b); and

(iii) to the extent that the Buyer is entitled to any Purchase Price Credit pursuant to Section 1.3 in respect of Receivables sold by an Originator and the amount of such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Purchase Price that would have been owed by such Buyer to such Originator under clause (i) above without taking such Purchase Price Credit into account for purposes of the calculation of such price, the principal amount outstanding under such Originator’s Subordinated Note shall be automatically decreased (to a balance not less than zero).

(b) To the extent that the Buyer does not have sufficient Available Cash to pay in full the Purchase Price for all Receivables purchased on any Payment Date in cash, each Originator agrees to advance a Subordinated Loan in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price of all Purchased Receivables sold by such Originator remaining following the payments specified in clause (a)(i) above and (B) the maximum loan (each such loan, a “Subordinated Loan”) that could be borrowed by the Buyer from the applicable Originator without rendering the Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. Each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by the Buyer prior to the Termination Date. Each Subordinated Loan shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of a Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from Available Cash. Each Originator is hereby authorized by the Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of the Buyer thereunder. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each Subordinated Note to reflect the increases, payments and reductions made in respect of such Subordinated Note pursuant to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.3, and the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each Subordinated Note at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to ▇▇▇▇ its Subordinated Note “CANCELED” and to return such Subordinated Note to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Termination Date.

(c) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable purchased after the date hereof shall be due and payable by the Buyer to the applicable Originator on the Payment Date therefor, a precise reconciliation of the Purchase Prices between Buyer and each Originator shall be effected on a Monthly Settlement Date with respect to all Receivables sold or contributed during the Calculation Period most recently ended prior to such Monthly Settlement Date and based on the information contained in the Purchase Report delivered pursuant to Section 1.1(b) above. Although such reconciliation shall be effected on Monthly Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the principal balance of each Subordinated Note and any contribution of capital by KapStone Kraft to the Buyer made pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the

date that the Purchase Price is due and payable; provided that the interest due and owing on each Subordinated Note on any Monthly Settlement Date shall continue to be calculated based on the principal amount outstanding as of the prior Monthly Settlement Date. On each Monthly Settlement Date, each Originator shall determine the net increase or the net reduction in the outstanding principal amount of its Subordinated Note and, in the case of KapStone Kraft, the amount of any capital contributions occurring during the immediately preceding calendar month and shall account for such net increase or net reduction in its books and records.

Section 1.3. Purchase Price Credit Adjustments.

If on any day:

(a) the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable originated by any Originator is:

(i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected or returned goods or services, any cash discount or any adjustment or otherwise by such Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or

(ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or

(iii) reduced on account of the obligation of such Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(iv) less than the amount included in the calculations in any Purchase Report, or

(b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1(h)(ii), Section 2.1(i), Section 2.1(j), Section 2.1(p), Section 2.1(q), Section 2.1(r) or Section 2.1(s) is not true when made or deemed made with respect to any Receivable,

then, in such event, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder equal to (A) in the case of clauses (a)(i)-(iv) above, the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (b) above, in the amount of the Purchase Price paid for such Receivable less Collections received by the Buyer thereon. If, on any day prior to the Termination Date, the Purchase Price Credit due from any Originator exceeds the Purchase Price payable to such Originator on such day, the excess amount may be credited against the Purchase Price payable to such Originator on one or more subsequent days; provided, however, that (1) if any portion of a Purchase Price Credit remains unrealized on the Termination Date, it shall be payable by the applicable Originator in cash on the Termination Date; (2) if any of the events described in clauses (a)(iv)-(iv) or (b) above occurs after the Termination Date, the resulting Purchase Price Credit shall be paid in cash on the date of occurrence; (3) no Purchase Price

Credit shall include any amount to the extent the same represents losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial or credit condition of the related Obligor resulting in the inability to pay in respect of an Obligor; and (4) Purchase Price Credits owing from KapStone Kraft relating to Contributed Receivables shall be reflected solely as reductions of KapStone Kraft’s equity in Buyer.

Section 1.4. Payments and Computations, Etc.

All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to an account of the Servicer, for the account of the applicable Originators, designated from time to time by the Servicer or as otherwise directed by the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay funds so received to the applicable Originator entitled thereto, in cash or by way of credit to the appropriate intercompany account. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, interest accrued at the Default Rate in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, if the Default Rate is calculated by reference to the prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate, 365 or 366 days) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

Section 1.5. Transfer of Records.

In connection with any sale or contribution of Receivables hereunder, each Originator hereby contributes, sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Buyer all of its right and title to and interest in the Records relating to the Receivables sold or contributed hereunder, but solely to the extent related to the such Receivables, without the need for any further documentation in connection with such sale or contribution. In connection with such transfer, each Originator hereby grants to each of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Originator to account for the Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Receivables, whether such software is owned by the applicable Originator or is owned by others and used by any Originator under license agreements with respect thereto; provided, however, that so long as the Records maintained in any software the license or sublicense of which hereunder would require the consent of the applicable licensor can be exported to Excel, such software (the “Excluded Software”) shall not be included in the license granted in this Section 1.5(a). The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), and shall automatically terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

Section 1.6. Characterization.

If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1(c), any transfer by any Originator to the Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized in any manner other than a true sale or true contribution or such transfer for any reason shall be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the applicable UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each transfer shall constitute a true sale or true contribution and absolute assignment thereof, each of the Originators hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables Assets and all proceeds thereof, whether existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date or thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date (collectively, the “Originator Collateral”), to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made by the Buyer to each Originator in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the Purchased Receivables originated by such Originator (and, in the case of KapStone Kraft, the Purchase Price that would have been payable for its Contributed Receivables had they not been contributed to the Buyer’s capital), together with all other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest, each of the Originators hereby represents and warrants, is valid, duly perfected and prior to all Adverse Claims. The Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

Article II

(i) Perfection.

(i) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in all right, title and interest of such Originator in the Originator Collateral of such Originator in favor of the Buyer, which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from such Originator.

(ii) There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Buyer’s ownership interest and security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Originator Collateral of such Originator.

(j) Liens. Other than the security interest granted to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the security interest that secures the Senior Credit Agreement which is released simultaneously with each sale or contribution hereunder, none of the Originators has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest or other Adverse Claim in, or otherwise conveyed, any of the Originator Collateral, other than Permitted Liens.

(r) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable originated by such Originator is effective to create, and has created, a valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(s) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable originated by such Originator that is identified as an Eligible Receivable on any Purchase Report was an Eligible Receivable on the date it was acquired from such Originator hereunder, and the Outstanding Balance of each such Eligible Receivable as of the end of the Calculation Period covered by such Purchase Report was accurately set forth on such Purchase Report.

(t) Accounting. In its stand-alone financial statements and unconsolidated worksheets, such Originator accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as true sales of the Receivables to the Buyer and/or as contributions of the Receivables to the Buyer’s equity capital and not as loans secured thereby.

(u) No Material Adverse Effect. Since June 30, 2014, no event, change or condition has occurred that (individually or in the aggregate) has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) No Termination Event. No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists, or could result from any sale or contribution hereunder or from the application of the proceeds therefrom, that constitutes a Termination Event.

(x) Compliance with Senior Credit Agreement. After giving effect to each sale and, as applicable, contribution of Receivables by such Originator hereunder, such Originator is in compliance with Section 7.05(b)(iv)(B) of the Senior Credit Agreement (or any successor provision applicable to any securitization of its Receivables).

The Buyer’s obligation to pay for any Purchased Receivable or accept the contribution of any Contributed Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be subject to the conditions precedent that: (a) the Facility Termination Date shall not have occurred under the Purchase Agreement; and (b) on the date such Receivable came into existence, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of the proceeds of any payment for such Receivable shall be deemed a representation and warranty by each of the Originators that such statements are then true):

(i) the representations and warranties set forth in Article II are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date such Receivable came into existence as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); and

(ii) no Termination Event is continuing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions precedent, upon payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivable (whether by payment of cash, through an increase in the amounts outstanding under a Subordinated Note, by offset of amounts owed to the Buyer and/or by offset of capital contributions), title to such Receivable and the other related Receivables Assets shall vest in the Buyer, whether or not the conditions precedent to the Buyer’s obligation to pay for such Receivable were in fact satisfied. The failure of any of the Originators to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent, however, shall give rise to a right of the Buyer to rescind the related purchase and direct the applicable Originator to pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Purchase Price payment that shall have been made with respect to any Receivables related thereto.

Article IV

Covenants

Section 4.1. Affirmative Covenants of Each of the Originators.

rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its organization, and qualify and remain qualified in good standing as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction where its business is conducted, except where the failure to do so would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided that such Originator may liquidate or dissolve if it is determined in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution is in its best interests and is not materially disadvantageous to the Buyer or its assigns, and such Originator’s assets and property (including revenues) are transferred to another Originator.

(d) Audits. Each of the Originators will, from time to time during regular business hours as reasonably requested by the Buyer (or the Administrative Agent), upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice and at its sole cost, permit the Buyer (and the Administrative Agent) or their respective agents or representatives (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all Records in its possession or under its control relating to the Receivables and the Related Security, including, without limitation, the related Invoices and Contracts, and (ii) to visit its offices and properties for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause (i) above, and to discuss matters relating to its financial condition or the Receivables and the Related Security or its performance under any of the Transaction Documents or its performance under the Contracts and, in each case, with any of its officers or employees having knowledge of such matters (each such visit, a “Review”); provided that, so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Originators shall only be responsible for the costs and expenses of one (1) such Review in any one Contract Year.

(e) Keeping and Marking of Records and Books.

(i) Each of the Originators will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing Receivables in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Receivables (including, without limitation, records adequate to permit the immediate identification of each new Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Receivable). Each of the Originators will give the Buyer (or its assigns) notice of any change in the administrative and operating procedures referred to in the previous sentence.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) Separateness. Such Originator acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Performance Guarantor, any of the Originators and any of their Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, such Originator will not take any action inconsistent with the “separateness covenants” set forth in Section 5.1(i) of the Purchase Agreement.

(i) Collections. In the event any payments relating to Receivables Assets are remitted directly to such Originator, it will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within one (1) Business Day following identification thereof and, at all times prior to such remittance, it will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held for the exclusive benefit of the Buyer and its assigns.

(c) Modifications to Contracts. Except as otherwise permitted in its capacity as Servicer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, it will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the payment terms of any Receivable or any Contract related to such Receivable in any material respect other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(vi) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time by any Originator or any of its Affiliates with other funds;

(vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of any sale hereunder, the ownership of the Receivables or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(viii) any Event of Bankruptcy with respect to any Originator or the Performance Guarantor;

(ix) any failure to vest in the Buyer legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, the Receivables and the Collections, and all of any Originators’ right, title and interest in the Related Security associated with the Receivables, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents);

(x) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable Laws with respect to any Originator Collateral with respect thereto, and the proceeds of any thereof, whether at the time of its acquisition or at any subsequent time, except to the extent such failure or delay is caused by the Buyer or its assigns;
