ARTICLE II
PURCHASE AND SALE

2.1 Agreement to Purchase and Sell the Dopaco Stock.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey, free and clear of all Liens, the Dopaco Stock, and Purchaser shall purchase and accept the sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance to it of the Dopaco Stock.

2.2 Purchase Price.

In consideration of the purchase and sale described in Section 2.1, upon the closing thereof (the “Closing”), Purchaser shall pay to Seller in consideration of the sale of the Dopaco Stock an amount equal to Four Hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.4, and which shall be paid at the Closing in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Seller to Purchaser in writing in advance of the Closing, which Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with Exhibit E hereto. Prior to the Closing, the parties shall adjust the allocation set forth on Exhibit E to reflect the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment. Following the Closing, the parties shall further adjust the allocation set forth on Exhibit E to reflect the Final Adjustment Certificate.

2.3 Closing.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Closing shall take place on May 2, 2011 or such later date that is five Business Days subsequent to the day on which the last of the conditions precedent to Closing set forth in Article VIII shall have been either satisfied or waived by the party for whose benefit such conditions precedent exist (other than those conditions to be satisfied by certificate deliveries at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of such delivery requirements), or at some other time as the parties may agree, (the “Closing Date”) at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time at the offices of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, 919 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

2.4 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) On the date that is two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate of Dopaco US’s Chief Financial Officer, prepared in good faith in accordance with defined terms herein and based on available information setting forth its estimate of the Net Debt Amount, the Working Capital and Working Capital Adjustment and including reasonable supporting documentation for such calculations (the “Estimated Adjustment Certificate”). Without modifying the terms of this Agreement, the parties agree that Schedule 1.2 is instructive as to the manner of calculating Working Capital and the Net Debt Amount hereunder, as it reflects the inclusion and exclusion of accounts that would have been used in the calculation of Working Capital and the Net Debt Amount applying the definitions referred to herein to the extent that such calculation of Working Capital and the Net Debt Amount had been made as of the opening of business on December 26, 2010 rather than as of the opening of business on the Closing Date.

- 16 -

(b) The Estimated Adjustment Certificate shall be used by the parties to make a preliminary adjustment to the Purchase Price on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.4(c), subject to further adjustment in accordance with Section 2.4(e).

(c) In the event that the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment is a negative number, the Purchase Price shall be reduced in an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment. In the event that the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment is a positive number, the Purchase Price shall be increased in an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment, but in no event in such case shall the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Adjustment Cap”). In the event the amount of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment would have exceeded the Adjustment Cap but for the existence of the Adjustment Cap pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of such excess shall be defined as “Excess Adjustment Amount”. In the event the Net Debt Amount is a positive number, the Purchase Price shall be increased by such amount and if the Net Debt Amount is a negative number, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by such amount.

(d) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, its calculation of the Net Debt Amount, Working Capital and Working Capital Adjustment as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Adjustment Certificate”), together with a consolidated balance sheet of the Companies as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles. Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access to books, records and personnel of Seller and work papers of its accountants as reasonably necessary and within Seller’s control or possession to enable Purchaser to prepare the Closing Balance Sheet.

(e) Seller shall have 30 days from the date on which the Closing Adjustment Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet have been delivered to it to raise any objection(s) to the calculations set forth in the Closing Adjustment Certificate, on the basis that they were not prepared accurately in accordance with Section 2.4(d), by delivery of written notice to Purchaser setting forth such objection(s) in reasonable detail (the “Disputed Items”). In the event that Seller shall not deliver any such objection(s) with respect to the Closing Adjustment Certificate within such thirty-day period, then the Closing Adjustment Certificate shall be deemed final for purposes of this Section 2.4 (such final Closing Adjustment Certificate, the “Final Adjustment Certificate”). In the event that any such objection(s) are so delivered, the Closing Adjustment Certificate shall be deemed not final and Purchaser and Seller shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Disputed Items and, if they are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items within 15 Business Days of delivery of such notice, shall, five Business Days thereafter (or such earlier date as mutually agreed) designate the New York office of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the “Accountant Arbitrator” hereunder (the “Accountant Arbitrator”). The Accountant Arbitrator shall resolve all remaining Disputed Items in accordance herewith within 20 Business Days from the date of its designation. In connection with the foregoing, the Accountant Arbitrator shall be instructed to and must (i) limit its determination(s) only to the remaining Disputed Items, (ii) make its determination(s) as to each remaining Disputed Item based upon the application of this Section 2.4 and (iii) not assign a value to any remaining Disputed Item greater than the higher value for such Disputed Item claimed by either Purchaser or Seller or less than

- 17 -

the lower value for such Disputed Item claimed by Purchaser or Seller. All determinations by the Accountant Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.4, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accountant Arbitrator shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in the same proportion to which the dollar amounts of their respective positions on Disputed Items are accepted or rejected by the Accountant Arbitrator. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that any adjustment made under this Section 2.4 is and shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(f) At such time as the Closing Adjustment Certificate shall become the Final Adjustment Certificate in accordance with Section 2.4(e), the Estimated Working Capital shall be compared to the Final Working Capital and the Estimated Net Debt Amount shall be compared to the Final Net Debt Amount. In the event that the Final Working Capital shall be a number greater than the Estimated Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such difference, plus, if there was an Excess Adjustment Amount, the amount of such Excess Adjustment Amount. In the event that the Final Working Capital shall be a number less than the Estimated Working Capital, either (i) Seller shall pay Purchaser an amount equal to such difference to the extent that such difference is greater than the Excess Adjustment Amount; or (ii) if subtracting such difference from the Excess Adjustment Amount results in a positive number, Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to such positive number to Seller. In any event, if there was an Excess Adjustment Amount, Purchaser shall pay Seller interest on the Excess Adjustment Amount accruing at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum during the period commencing on the Closing Date and concluding upon the date that payment is to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(f). If the Final Net Debt Amount is a number greater than the Estimated Net Debt Amount, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such difference. If Final Net Debt Amount is a number less than the Estimated Net Debt Amount, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such difference. For the avoidance of doubt, the payments in respect of Working Capital and Net Debt contemplated by this Section 2.4(f) may be aggregated and netted against one another, if applicable, for purposes of the payments to be made between the parties. Any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) shall be made within five Business Days from the date that the Final Adjustment Certificate is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4(e), by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) if due to Purchaser, to an account designated in writing by Purchaser and (ii) if due to Seller, to an account designated in writing by Seller. Any amount so owing and not paid within such five Business Days shall begin accruing interest until paid at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum.

(g) Notwithstanding the existence of Disputed Items, if other aspects of the calculation of Working Capital or Net Debt are undisputed, payment shall be made between the parties with respect to such items as soon as practicable and the payment mechanisms in Section 2.4(f) shall be adjusted to reflect such earlier payments.

2.5 Withholding.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) each payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made net of any Taxes required by applicable Law to be deducted or withheld from such payment and (b) any amounts deducted or withheld from any such payment shall be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid. The party

- 18 -

making any such deduction or withholding shall furnish to the other party official receipts (or copies thereof) evidencing the payment of any such Taxes. If either Purchaser or Seller becomes aware that any amount is required to be so deducted or withheld, it shall promptly provide notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount is deducted or withheld from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement and Seller receives less than five (5) days notice prior to the making of such deduction or withholding, then, to the extent permitted by Law, any such deduction or withholding shall not be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority earlier than the date that is five (5) days after Seller received notice of such deduction or withholding and Seller shall be entitled to raise any objection with respect to such deduction or withholding during such period.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS

5.1 Conduct of Business of the Companies.

During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause each Company to conduct its business and operations only according to its ordinary and usual course of business as presently conducted and shall, without relieving Purchaser of Customer Risk as provided elsewhere herein, cause each Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to maintain intact the Business and relations with customers, suppliers and others material to the ongoing conduct of the Business. Pending the Closing Date and except as may be first approved in writing by Purchaser or as is otherwise permitted or required by this Agreement, Seller will not and Seller will not cause or allow any Company to take any action which if it had been taken after the Balance Sheet Date (or, as specified in Section 3.20, September 30, 2010) and prior to the date hereof would have resulted in a misrepresentation or breach of warranty under Article III of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it shall not be a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant herein if Seller or any of the Companies take any action otherwise prohibited by this Section 5.1 without Purchaser’s consent if such action is reasonably determined by Seller to be necessary in the interest of health or safety in circumstances in which Seller could not reasonably obtain Purchaser’s prior approval, or if such action is set forth in Schedule 5.1. The parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing covenants are subject in each case to Section 5.7 hereof.

5.2 Coordination.

After the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to discuss, from time to time and as reasonably requested by Purchaser, the ongoing operations and business of the Companies, subject in each instance to compliance with applicable Law as advised by each party’s respective legal counsel.

5.4 Confidentiality; Announcements.

5.4.1 In replacement of that certain confidentiality agreement entered into between Cascades Inc. and Rank Group Limited, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, including Purchaser, dated as of October 20, 2010, which confidentiality agreement shall terminate upon the execution and delivery hereof, without, however, affecting any rights or obligations of the parties accruing prior to such termination, Purchaser agrees that it shall, and shall cause its employees, officers, directors and Affiliates to, keep confidential all information (whether written or otherwise) provided to it by Seller or Seller’s agents and representatives, except that Purchaser may provide such information to its financial advisors, potential financing sources, legal counsel and other advisors and consultants assisting Purchaser, provided that such advisors, counsel and consultants agree to become bound by the terms of this Section 5.4. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, Purchaser shall return to Seller all information provided to it by or on behalf of Seller or shall provide Seller with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that Purchaser has destroyed such information. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 5.4 shall not extend to information which (a) has been in the possession of or known by Purchaser on a non-confidential basis prior to the receipt thereof from Seller or its agents or representatives, (b) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Purchaser or its agents or representatives, (c) has become available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a third party not prohibited from making such disclosure to Purchaser, or (d) is required to be disclosed to comply with any applicable Law, provided that before Purchaser makes such disclosure Purchaser use commercially reasonable efforts to give Seller prompt notice of the requirement or request for disclosure and use commercially reasonable efforts to secure or cooperate with Seller in securing a protective order or other arrangement to limit disclosure of such confidential information only to parties agreeing to be bound by the terms of the protective order or other arrangement.

- 41 -

obligations, in which case the issuing party shall provide the other party, in writing, no less than one Business Day prior to such proposed statement, the content of the proposed statement and an opportunity to comment on the statement.

5.5 Hart-Scott-Rodino; Competition Act.

Seller and Purchaser shall promptly make, or cause to make, such filings as are required under the HSR Act and Competition Act and shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) furnish the other party hereto such information and cooperation as may reasonably be requested by such party in connection with the preparation and submission of such filings under the foregoing. Seller and Purchaser shall promptly keep each other informed of any developments with the Canadian Competition Bureau and provide the other and its legal counsel with an opportunity to provide comments on draft correspondence to the Canadian Competition Bureau and on the proposed responses to any requests for information from the Canadian Competition Bureau. Seller and Purchaser shall each use their commercially reasonable efforts to resist any assertion that the Transactions constitute a violation of federal, state or provincial antitrust Laws and shall seek early termination of any waiting periods under the HSR Act, and shall seek the appropriate orders or approvals in order to consummate the Transactions.

5.6 Insurance Cooperation.

(a) Inasmuch as all insurance coverage with respect to the Business is maintained by the parent company of Seller and such coverage (the “Parent Insurance”) will not continue subsequent to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall make arrangements to have similar coverage provided through its own insurance policies as of the Closing Date, and Seller shall provide reasonable cooperation to Purchaser in such regard.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.6(a), Seller agrees that it or one of its Affiliates, shall, with respect to any incident from which a liability of a Company arises or that relates to any damage, impairment or loss of an asset of a Company, that is potentially covered by a Parent Insurance policy in effect prior to the Closing Date, (i) report such incident to the appropriate insurer as promptly as practicable and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Parent Insurance policy after such incident is reported to Seller, (ii) include Purchaser on material correspondence and possible litigation proceedings relating to such incident and (iii) instruct that such proceeds are paid directly to the injured party in settlement of any claims relating to such incident, rather than to Seller or one of its Affiliates, or, if such proceeds are received by Seller or any of its Affiliates, pay such proceeds over to the Company subject to such claim; provided that Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly of any potential claim, shall cooperate in the investigation and pursuit of any claim, shall have the right to effectively associate in the pursuit of any claim, including but not limited to the ability to withhold its consent to any proposed claim settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) and shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the foregoing. From time to time (but for no longer than five years following the Closing), Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser upon reasonable notice and with any out-of-pocket costs borne by Purchaser to provide Purchaser with historical insurance claims information regarding the Business (including workers compensation

- 42 -

experience) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Purchaser and its subsidiaries to establish loss experience in establishing new insurance arrangements with new carriers.

Prior to the Closing, and subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence, Seller shall cause all intercompany receivables and payables outstanding between any Company, on the one hand, and Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Companies), on the other hand, to be satisfied and paid in full such that such intercompany receivables and payables are no longer outstanding as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, provided that this shall not apply to any receivables or payables incurred in the ordinary course of business between any Company, on the one hand, and Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Companies), on the other hand, on account of (and only on account of) (i) waste paper sales by any Company, and boxboard and corrugated box purchases by any Company, or (ii) payments by any Company to Seller on account of workers compensation claims, all of which obligations contained in clauses (i) and (ii) shall survive the Closing and be paid in the ordinary course of business. For the avoidance of doubt, accrued auditing fees shall be terminated prior to the opening of Business on the Closing Date.

5.10 Exclusivity.

Seller agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that from the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the date that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article IX, each such Person shall not, and shall instruct its agents, representatives and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (a) make available any non-public information to any third party (including via access to any data room or other records), other than Purchaser, or their agents, representatives and Affiliates with respect to the Business in connection with any Competing Business Transaction, (b) solicit, facilitate, initiate, respond to or encourage proposals, offers or inquiries from a third party, other than Purchaser, with respect to any Competing Business Transaction, (c) solicit, facilitate, initiate, respond to or participate in any negotiations or discussions with any third party, other than Purchaser, or its agents, representatives and Affiliates with respect to any Competing Business Transaction, or (d) enter into a letter of intent or other agreement or arrangement with a third party, other than Purchaser, with respect to any Competing Business Transaction.

(d) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 60 days following the Closing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in any way reasonably requested by Purchaser to assist with the preparation and delivery to Purchaser at Purchaser’s expense of audited financial statements of the Companies prepared in accordance with GAAP for the period December 27, 2010 through and including the Closing Date, which financial statements shall comply with Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, and which shall be accompanied by a report and opinion of PwC, or an other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, which report and opinion shall not be subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit.

- 46 -

(e) If requested by Purchaser at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish Purchaser and its financing sources as promptly as practicable (with any out of pocket third party expenses borne by Purchaser) with financial or other pertinent information regarding the Companies as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, including financial data, audit reports, management representation letters and other information regarding the Companies of the type that would be required (A) to enable Purchaser to prepare any schedule describing the material qualitative and quantitative differences between the GAAP financial statements referred to in this Section 5.13 and financial statements as of the same dates and for the same periods prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards or (B) by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act for a registered public offering of non-convertible debt securities, to the extent the same is of the type and form customarily included in an offering memorandum for private placements of non-convertible high-yield bonds under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, or to receive from PwC (and any other accountant to the extent financial statements audited or reviewed by such accountants are or would be included in such offering memorandum) customary “comfort” (including “negative assurance” comfort), together with drafts of customary comfort letters that such independent accountants are prepared to deliver, with respect to the financial statements described in sections (a) and (b) above.

5.14 Use of “Dopaco” Name.

Seller covenants and agrees that from and following the Closing Date it shall not, directly or indirectly, use or do business under or permit any of its respective Affiliates to use or do business under the name “Dopaco” or any name or trademark confusingly similar to “Dopaco”, and, to the extent that either Dopaco LP or Dopaco Pacific is in existence following the Subsidiary Disposition, Seller shall cause the name of such entity to be changed in order to eliminate the word “Dopaco” therefrom.

5.15 Workers Compensation Claims.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.6 hereof:

5.15.1 Subsequent to the Closing Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts in defending and otherwise dealing with any workers compensation obligations of any of the Companies arising from a pre-Closing occurrence, using a standard of care consistent with the Companies’ past practices that a reasonable person would utilize in the absence of any indemnification by a third party with respect thereto, and Seller shall have a right of consultation with respect to all of the foregoing; and

5.15.2 Subsequent to the Closing, but subject to the next sentence, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Companies to (i) with respect to all workers compensation clams arising out of occurrences prior to November 1, 2007, pay Zurich Insurance Company amounts billed by such insurance company with respect thereto, and (ii) with respect to all workers compensation clams arising out of occurrences on or subsequent to November 1, 2007 and prior to the Closing Date, pay Seller amounts billed by Seller with respect thereto, in each case contemplated in clauses (i) and (ii) in the ordinary course of business consistent with the

- 47 -

past practices of the Companies. Seller shall reimburse the Companies for all amounts paid by them as contemplated in clauses (i) and (ii) in excess of an aggregate amount of $1,879,113.50, such reimbursement to be made within thirty days subsequent to the issuance to Seller by the Companies of a monthly invoice therefor, and, from and after such time as Seller is obligated to make such reimbursement payments, Seller shall cease sending invoices referred in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence and the Companies shall have no payment obligation under such clause (ii). At such time following the Closing as any of the Companies, on the one hand, or Seller or one of its Affiliates, on the other, shall receive the return of any workers compensation deposit with respect to a workers compensation insurance policy in effect prior to the Closing, the receiving party (or its Affiliate) shall remit to the other party hereunder one-half (1/2) of the amount of such deposit.

5.16 Blended Contracts.

With respect to the contracts referred to in clause (s) of Section 3.10.1, unless otherwise agreed, each of the parties hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain prior to the Closing from the counterparty to each such contract (A) a new separate contract with one of the Companies for the portion of the goods or services purchased from or supplied to the Business under such contract, and (B) a new separate contract with Seller or one of its Affiliates for the portion of the goods or services purchased from or supplied to the continuing business of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Companies), in each case upon terms and conditions substantially similar to the existing contracts or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller, and (ii) terminate the existing contracts referred to in clause (s) of Section 3.10.1.

5.17 Release and Substitution.

Following the date hereof, each of Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate together and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the counterparties to each of the agreements listed on Schedule 5.17 to release Cascades Inc. as a party to such agreement (including with respect to all of its responsibilities and obligations thereunder) and to substitute Purchaser in lieu of Cascades Inc. as a party thereto (the “Release and Substitution”).

5.18 Employee Benefits.

5.18.1 Non-Union Employees. For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, except as may otherwise be agreed with any particular employee with respect to such employee, Purchaser shall cause the Companies to provide to each employee of the Companies who is not represented by a union or labor organization (each, a “Non-Union Employee”) compensation and employee benefits (but excluding any compensation triggered in whole or in part by the consummation of the Transactions) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the compensation and employee benefits provided to such Non-Union Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Subject to the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Companies from amending or terminating any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement following the Closing Date to the extent permitted under applicable Law. With respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy or arrangement maintained by the Companies following the Closing Date which is not a Company Plan and in which Non-Union Employees participate (the “Purchaser Plans”), for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and

- 48 -

entitlement to benefits with respect to such Purchaser Plans service with the Companies (or predecessor employers to the extent the Companies provide past service credit) shall be treated as service with the Companies; provided however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Such service also shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods or evidence of insurability requirements. Each of the Purchaser Plans shall waive pre-existing condition limitations to the extent waived or not applicable under the corresponding Company Plan. Non-Union Employees shall be given credit under the applicable Purchaser Plans for amounts paid prior to the Closing Date during the year in which the Closing Date occurs under a corresponding Company Plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchaser Plan.

5.18.2 Continuing Company Plans. As of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Companies to honor in accordance with their terms the employment, employment termination, severance and other compensation agreements, plans and arrangements (collectively, the “Continuing Company Plans”), in each case existing immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement; provided, however, that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.18.1, nothing herein shall prevent Purchaser from amending or terminating any Continuing Company Plan to the extent permitted under applicable Law.

5.18.3 Union Employees. With respect to employees of the Companies who are represented by a union or labor organization (the “Union Employees”), Purchaser agrees to cause the Companies to assume and honor all existing collective bargaining agreements between the Companies and a labor union or labor organization and provide such Union Employees with compensation and benefits as set forth in such collective bargaining agreements.

5.18.4 Assumption of Certain Post-Employment Health Insurance Benefit Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to assume all Liabilities and, if any, Taxes, arising as a result of the provisions contained in Paragraph 3 of the R. Cauffman Employment Agreement Amendment No. 2 entitled “Extension of Post-Employment Health Insurance Benefit”, it being understood that all other Liabilities and, if any, Taxes, under or in respect of the R. Cauffman Employment Agreement, including with respect to Liabilities and, if any, Taxes, associated with health insurance benefits as in existence prior to such Amendment No. 2, are not being assumed hereunder, but shall in all respects remain the responsibility of one or more of the Companies. The foregoing Post-Employment Health Insurance Benefit shall be provided by one or more of the Companies pursuant to such Amendment No. 2, and the Liabilities and, if any, Taxes, assumed hereunder with respect thereto shall be invoiced to Seller by one or more of the Companies and Seller shall promptly pay each such invoice.

ARTICLE VI
TAX MATTERS

6.1 Post Closing Elections.

At Seller’s request, Purchaser shall cause any of Dopaco US, the Dopaco US Subsidiaries and Dopaco Canada to make and/or join with Seller in making any Tax elections (including with regard to Dopaco Canada, an election relating to the covenant not to compete contained in Section 5.9) after the Closing Date that may relate to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date if the making of such election does not have an adverse impact on Purchaser, any Company or any of their Affiliates for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date. Furthermore, Purchaser shall not make any election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the Companies without Seller’s prior written consent. At Purchaser’s request, Seller shall make (or cause its Affiliates to make) and/or join with Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) in making any Tax elections if the making of such election does not have an adverse impact on Seller (or any of its Affiliates, including any Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period).

6.2 Post Closing Transactions.

Purchaser and Seller agree to report all transactions engaged in by Dopaco US or the Dopaco US Subsidiaries not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing on Purchaser’s federal Income Tax Return to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B), and Purchaser agrees to provide written notice to Seller describing any such transactions within 30 days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller for any additional U.S. federal and applicable state Income Tax owed by Seller (including any additional U.S. federal and applicable state Income Tax imposed on Seller as a result of any payment described in this Section 6.2) resulting from any transaction engaged in by Dopaco US or the Dopaco US Subsidiaries not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing (taking into account any investment adjustment or similar item that results from such transaction or payment) other than any action contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent any amount for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to this Section 6.2 is required to be paid after the Closing (including estimated Taxes), Purchaser shall pay such amount to Seller upon the later of (i) two (2) days following notice by Seller that such amount is or will be due and (ii) one (1) day before such amount is due to a Taxing Authority.

6.3 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

6.3.1 To the extent permitted by Law, Seller shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, in a manner consistent with the Companies’ past practices, all Tax Returns for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided under this Article VI, Seller and Purchaser agree to allocate all items accruing through the Closing Date to Dopaco US’s and the Dopaco US Subsidiaries’ taxable period ending on the Closing Date pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1) (and not pursuant to the “next day” rule under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or pursuant to the ratable allocation method under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) or 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iii)). To the extent allowable under

- 50 -

applicable Tax Law and except as otherwise provided under this Article VI, the parties will apply the same (or substantially the same) principles in allocating items of income and deduction for any similar state or local “consolidated”, “unitary”, or “combined” Income Tax Returns for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall make or cause to be made (and shall not make and shall cause not to be made, as applicable) Tax elections (including on a protective basis) so that none of the Companies shall suffer any reduction in tax basis or other attributes pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36. Seller shall not make (and shall cause not to be made) any election under Section 108(i) of the Code (or any similar provision under state, local or foreign Law) that applies to any income or deduction realized by any the Companies prior to the Closing.

6.3.2 Purchaser shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, in a manner consistent with the Companies’ past practices, all Tax Returns for any Straddle Period.

6.3.3 Each of Seller and Purchaser shall, with respect to any Tax Return which such party is responsible hereunder for preparing and filing, or causing to be prepared and filed, make such Tax Return and related work papers available for review by the other party if the Tax Return is with respect to Taxes for which the other party or one of its Affiliates may be liable hereunder or under applicable Law. The filing party shall use its reasonable efforts to make Tax Returns available for review as required under this Section 6.3 at least thirty (30) days in advance of the due date for filing such Tax Returns to provide the non-filing party with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Tax Returns and have such Tax Returns modified before filing. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its employees to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns. The parties shall retain all such Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all material records and other documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, including any extension thereof, of the Tax period to which such Tax Returns and other documents and information relate. Each party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided. If the non-filing party objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify the party responsible for the preparation of such Tax Return in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. In the event of any disagreement that can not be resolved by the parties, such disagreement shall be resolved by an accounting firm of international reputation mutually agreeable to Seller and Purchaser (the “Tax Arbitrator”), and any such determination by the Tax Arbitrator shall be final. The fees and expenses of the Tax Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. If the Tax Arbitrator does not resolve any differences between Seller and Purchaser with respect to such Tax Return at least five days prior to the due date therefor, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by the party preparing such Tax Return and amended to reflect the Tax Arbitrator’s resolution.

- 51 -

6.4 Transfer Taxes.

All sales, use, transfer, documentary, stamp, registration, value added and other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the transfer of the Dopaco Stock to Purchaser shall be borne and paid by Purchaser when due. Purchaser shall, at its own expense, prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed with respect to any such Taxes.

6.5 Tax Indemnity.

From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Companies) and hold them harmless from and against all Covered Taxes and related Losses (other than any Covered Taxes actually included in Final Working Capital). Purchaser and Seller agree that the Companies shall be deemed, for the purpose of Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.5, not to have the benefit of any net operating loss, net capital loss or other Tax attribute, credit or benefit that is attributable to, arises from or relates to any Post-Closing Tax Period. To the extent any amount for which Seller is responsible pursuant to this Section 6.5 is required to be paid after Closing (including estimated Taxes), Seller shall pay such amount to Purchaser upon the later of (i) two (2) days following notice by Purchaser that such amount is or will be due and (ii) one (1) day before such amount is due to a Taxing Authority. The indemnification made pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall not be subject to the limitations on indemnification contained in Section 7.1.1.

6.6 Apportionment.

For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in the case of any real and personal property Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date.

6.7 Refunds.

If Purchaser or any of the Companies receives a refund (or a credit of Taxes paid in lieu of a refund) of Covered Taxes (other than to the extent such refund or credit results from the carryback of a Tax attribute relating to a Post-Closing Tax Period or the extent such refund was included in Final Working Capital), Purchaser will pay to Seller, within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such refund, an amount equal to such refund less any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such refund and less any Taxes incurred by Purchaser, its Affiliates, or any of the Companies in connection with the receipt of such refund. If Seller or any of its Affiliates receives a refund (or a credit of Taxes paid in lieu of a refund) (i) of or with respect to the any of the Companies other than in respect of Covered Taxes, (ii) attributable to the carryback of a Tax attribute relating to a Post-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) that was actually included in Final Working Capital, Seller will pay to Purchaser, within thirty

- 52 -

(30) days following the receipt of such refund, an amount equal to such refund less its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such refund and less any Taxes incurred by it or its Affiliates in connection with the receipt of such refund.

6.8 Settlement of Deficiencies and Adjustments.

If any Taxing Authority issues to Purchaser, any Company or any of their Affiliates a notice of deficiency or any other type of proposed adjustment of Taxes of a Company that could give rise to Covered Taxes, Purchaser shall notify Seller within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of the notice of deficiency or other proposed adjustment, provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided pursuant to Section 6.5 except to the extent Seller shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. If any Taxing Authority issues to Seller or any of its Affiliates a notice of deficiency or any other type of proposed adjustment that could give rise to any Taxes payable by any of the Companies or any payment required by Section 6.2 or 6.5, Seller shall notify Purchaser within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of the notice of deficiency or other proposed adjustment provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided pursuant to Section 6.2 except to the extent Purchaser shall have actually been prejudiced as a result of such failure. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) Seller (at its own expense) shall control any Tax Proceeding to the extent such Tax Proceeding relates to a Tax Return described in Section 6.3.1 and (ii) Purchaser (at its own expense) shall control any Tax Proceeding that is not described in clause (i). In the case of any Tax Proceeding relating to a Tax Return described in Section 6.3.1 or Section 6.3.2, the party controlling such Tax Proceeding shall (to the extent related to a Company) (i) notify the other party of significant developments with respect to such Tax Proceeding and keep the other party reasonably informed and consult with the other party as to the resolution of any issue that would materially affect such other party, (ii) give to the other party a copy of any Tax adjustment proposed in writing with respect to such Tax Proceeding and copies of any other written correspondence with the relevant Tax authority relating to such Tax Proceeding, (iii) not settle or compromise any issue without the consent of such other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (iv) otherwise permit the other party to participate in all aspects of such Tax Proceeding, at such other party’s own expense.

6.9 Cooperation and Exchange of Information.

Seller and Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return, amended return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes or in conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant Tax Returns, together with accompanying schedules and related workpapers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by taxing authorities and records concerning the ownership and tax basis of property, which either party may possess. Each party shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other for any reasonable out of pocket costs incurred in providing any return, document or other written information, and shall compensate the other for any reasonable costs (excluding wages and salaries) of making employees available, upon receipt of

- 53 -

reasonable documentation of such costs. Any information obtained under this Section 6.9 shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of returns or claims for refund or in conducting any audit or other proceeding. Purchaser and Seller further agree, upon request and at the cost of the requesting party, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

6.10 Termination of Prior Tax Sharing Agreement; Powers of Attorney.

Seller shall cause, effective as of the Closing, all tax sharing, tax allocation or other similar agreements, whether or not written, to which Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Companies, on the other hand, is a party to be terminated and the Companies to have no further rights or obligations thereunder. Except as provided on Schedule 6.10, Seller shall cause any and all existing powers of attorney with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns to which any the Companies is a party to be terminated as of the Closing.

6.11 Tax Covenant.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Seller will not and will not permit any of the Companies to make or change any material Tax election, change any annual Tax accounting period, adopt or change any method of Tax accounting, amend any material Tax Returns or file any claims for material Tax refunds, enter into any material closing agreement, settle any material Tax claim, audit or assessment or surrender any right to claim a material Tax refund, offset or other reduction in Tax liability, in each case, with respect to any of the Companies, provided that, with respect to the audit of Seller’s U.S. consolidated tax group that is ongoing as of the date of this Agreement and to the extent that such audit relates to any of the Companies, Seller may settle such audit with Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.12 Coordination; Survival Period.

In the event of a conflict between a provision in Article VI and a provision in Article VII, the provision in Article VI shall control. Furthermore, (i) Purchaser shall be entitled to make any claim for Covered Taxes or a breach of a representation or warranty under Section 3.13 (Taxes), 3.24 (No Foreign Person) or 3.25 (Taxable Canadian Properties) exclusively in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI and not under Article VII, and (ii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.13 (Taxes), 3.24 (No Foreign Person) and 3.25 (Taxable Canadian Properties) shall survive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations for all Covered Taxes. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any breach of representation or warranty under Section 3.13, 3.24 or 3.25 in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article VI shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.

- 54 -

6.13 Treatment of Tax Indemnity Payments.

It is the intent of the parties that amounts paid under this Article VI shall represent an adjustment to the Purchase Price and (to the extent permitted by Law) the parties will report such payments consistent with such intent.

ARTICLE VII

7.1 Indemnification of Purchaser.

Seller hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, members, managers, employees, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (individually, and collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) against and in respect of any and all losses, liabilities, damages, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, orders, assessments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, costs or deficiencies, including, without limitation, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys fees and costs, including the cost of seeking to enforce the indemnity provisions hereof, whether or not arising from a third party claim, (collectively, “Losses”), caused by or resulting or arising from, or otherwise with respect to, (i) any inaccuracy in or any breach of any of Seller’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument or other document delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) any breach of or any failure to perform or comply with any of Seller’s covenants contained in this Agreement, (iii) any liability or obligation of any Company, whether asserted prior to or following the Closing, arising from any act or omission prior to the Closing that did not occur as part of, or in a manner reasonably related to, the conduct of the Business, (iv) any liability or obligation arising in connection with the Specified Litigation or otherwise arising under Environmental Requirements in connection with properties or facilities formerly owned, leased or used in connection with the Business, and (v) any liability or obligation arising in connection with the Specified Dispute; provided, however, that in each case Losses shall be calculated net of any indemnification recovered from third parties and insurance proceeds.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to a claim for indemnification under clause (i) of Section 7.1: (i) until such time as the aggregate of all amounts otherwise indemnifiable exceeds an aggregate threshold amount hereunder of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Basket Amount”), at which time all such amounts shall be indemnifiable hereunder, excluding the Basket Amount, up to an aggregate maximum indemnity amount hereunder of Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000) (the “General Indemnity Cap”), except that the foregoing limitations shall not apply (A) to claims respecting the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Approval of Agreement and Transaction), 3.2 (Seller’s Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligation; No Conflicts or Restrictions), 3.3 (The Companies’ Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligation; No Conflicts or Restrictions), 3.5 (Capital Structure; No Liens), 3.11 (No Governmental Authority Restrictions); and 3.21 (No Investment Banker’s, Broker’s or Finder’s Fees) for which, however, in no event shall Seller’s obligations for indemnification with respect to the representations and warranties

- 55 -

identified in this Section 7.1.1(i)(A) exceed the Purchase Price, or (B) to claims for fraud; and (ii) unless such claim is asserted in writing on or prior to the date on which the survival of the representation or warranty at issue expires pursuant to Section 7.4 (the “Survival Expiration Date”).

7.2 Indemnification of Seller.

Purchaser hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, members, managers, employees, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (individually, and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against and in respect of any and all Losses caused by or resulting or arising from, or otherwise with respect to, (i) any inaccuracy in or any breach of any of Purchaser’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument or other document delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) any breach of or any failure to perform or comply with any of Purchaser’s covenants contained in this Agreement, and (iii) any Losses resulting from the inability to obtain any Release and Substitution.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to a claim for indemnification hereunder under clause (i) of Section 7.2 (i) until such time as the aggregate of all amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder exceeds the Basket Amount, at which time all such amounts shall be indemnifiable hereunder, excluding the Basket Amount, up to the General Indemnity Cap, except that the foregoing limitations shall not apply (A) to claims respecting breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 (Approval of Agreement and Transaction), 4.2 (Purchaser’s Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligation; No Conflicts or Restrictions), 4.3 (No Governmental Authority Restrictions) and 4.4 (No Investment Banker’s, Broker’s or Finder’s Fees), for which, however, in no event shall Purchaser’s obligations for indemnification with respect to the representations and warranties identified in this Section 7.2.1(i)(A) exceed the Purchase Price, or (B) to claims for fraud; and (ii) unless such claim is asserted in writing on or prior to the Survival Expiration Date.

7.3 Indemnification Procedure.

All claims for indemnification under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 7.3:

7.3.1 In the event that any claim for which a party (the “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable to the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) hereunder (a “Claim”) is asserted against an Indemnified Party by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness (but subject to Section 7.3.3) notify the Indemnifying Party of such Claim, specifying the nature of such Claim and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim) (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Claim and (ii) whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at

- 56 -

the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend against such Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or defended by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the defense and employ separate counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, of any Claim in which the parties (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable, in such action or substantially similar but related actions, for the fees and expenses of one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party, in the circumstances contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence, may not settle any Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement the Indemnified Party may do so at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the Indemnified Party, without waiving any rights against the Indemnifying Party, may settle or defend against any such Claim in the Indemnified Party’s sole discretion and, if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is responsible therefor under this Article VII, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party the amount of any settlement or judgment and all indemnifiable costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party has defended or settled any such Claim and it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not responsible therefor under this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of the judgment or settlement paid by the Indemnifying Party and all defense costs, including reasonable attorneys fees. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any Claim, shall consent to entry of any judgment or order, interim or otherwise, or enter into any settlement that (i) would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party, (ii) does not contain, as an unconditional term thereof, the release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Claim or such Claim is not dismissed against the Indemnified Party with prejudice and without the imposition of any financial or other obligation on the Indemnified Party or (iii) admits the liability or fault of the Indemnified Party.

7.3.2 In the event the Indemnified Party should have a Claim against the Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness (but subject to Section 7.3.3) send a Claim Notice with respect to such claim to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party accepts or disputes such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party disputes any such Claim and the parties thereto are unable to resolve the dispute within

- 57 -

twenty (20) days, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the resolution procedures set forth in Section 10.6 hereof.

7.3.3 Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Indemnified Party from making a Claim hereunder for contingent Claims provided the Claim Notice sets forth the specific basis for any such contingent Claim to the extent then feasible and the Indemnified Party has reasonable grounds to believe that such a Claim may be made, and the Indemnified Party sets forth with reasonable detail the basis for such belief, provided that if no such Claim is in fact made within one year after the contingent Claim relating thereto is made, such Claim shall not be qualified for indemnification hereunder (it being agreed that this proviso shall not apply with respect to any Claim arising from a third party Claim that remains unresolved as of such one year anniversary date). The Indemnified Party’s failure to give reasonably prompt notice under Section 7.3.1 or 7.3.2 to the Indemnifying Party of any actual, threatened or contingent Claim which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

7.3.4 In connection with any Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonable access to the books, records and assets of the Indemnified Party which relate to the act, omission or occurrence giving rise to such Claim and the right, upon prior notice during normal business hours, to interview any appropriate personnel of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto and the Indemnified Party otherwise shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party (and with its insurance company, if applicable) in defending a Claim, provided that the provisions of this Section 7.3.4 shall not govern in the event of a Claim being asserted directly between an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party.

7.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

The representations and warranties of the parties contained herein shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing Date and shall not survive beyond such period, provided that the representations and warranties set forth in (i) Section 3.22 (Environmental Matters) shall survive for a period of thirty six (36) months after the Closing Date and shall not survive beyond such period, and (ii) Section 3.1 (Approval of Agreement and Transaction), 3.2 (Seller’s Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligation; No Conflicts or Restrictions), 3.3 (The Companies’ Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligation; No Conflicts or Restrictions), 3.5 (Capital Structure; No Liens), 3.11 (No Governmental Authority Restrictions), 3.18 (Employee Benefits) 3.21 (No Investment Banker’s, Broker’s or Finder’s Fees), 4.2 (Purchaser’s Existence and Good Standing; Authority; Binding Obligation; No Conflicts or Restrictions), 4.3 (No Governmental Authority Restrictions) and 4.4 (No Investment Banker’s, Broker’s or Finder’s Fees) shall survive until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and shall not survive beyond such period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the survival of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.13 (Taxes), 3.24 (No Foreign Person) and 3.25 (Taxable Canadian Properties) shall be governed by Section 6.12.

- 58 -

7.5 Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

It is the intent of the parties that amounts paid under this Article VII shall represent an adjustment to the Purchase Price and (to the extent permitted by Law) the parties will report such payments consistent with such intent.

7.6 Sole and Exclusive Remedy.

Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree (on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates) that from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for monetary relief relating to or arising out of the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the provisions of Article VI and this Article VII.

10.2 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement together with each Schedule and Exhibit, and the other agreements and documents executed and delivered in connection herewith and therewith,

- 64 -

constitutes the entire agreement by and among the parties concerning the purchase of the Dopaco Stock by Purchaser and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, to the extent they have related in any way to the subject matter hereof. Information disclosed in a Schedule of Seller annexed hereto shall constitute a disclosure for the specific section referenced therein and any other section hereof to the extent the applicability of such cross reference is reasonably apparent. Any and all duties and obligations which Seller may have to Purchaser or which Purchaser may have to Seller with respect to or in connection with this Agreement, or the Transactions are limited to those set forth in or entered into in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Neither the duties nor obligations of any party, nor the rights of any party hereto, shall be expanded beyond the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the Transactions on the basis of any legal or equitable principle or on any other basis whatsoever. Neither any equitable nor legal principle nor any implied obligation of good faith or fair dealing nor any other matter requires any party hereto to incur, suffer or perform any act, condition or obligation contrary, or in addition, to the terms of this Agreement, whether or not existing and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable.

10.3 Amendments and Modifications.

This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the parties hereto. This Agreement (or any provision hereof) may not be waived except pursuant to a writing executed by the waiving party. The representations and warranties of the Seller on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, that are contained in this Agreement (as brought down on the applicable Closing Date) shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be (including but not limited to by any of their advisors, consultants or representatives), or by reason of the fact that the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, or any of their respective advisors, consultants or representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate; provided that if Purchaser or Seller asserts a post-Closing claim for fraud as contemplated by Article VII, this sentence shall be disregarded for purposes of allowing Seller to defend such claim.

10.4 Successors and Assigns.

All the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No party may assign any of its rights, benefits, interests or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, in the case of Purchaser, and Purchaser, in the case of Seller, provided that Purchaser may designate one or more of its Affiliates to purchase the Dopaco Stock (any such designated person, a “Purchasing Entity”) or assign to them any other rights or obligations contained herein, provided further that Purchaser will remain liable for the obligations so assigned. Each Purchasing Entity will be deemed Purchaser in respect of such Dopaco Stock and (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) any such Dopaco Stock will be transferred by Seller directly to such Purchasing Entity and each Purchasing Entity shall pay the portion of the Purchase Price to Seller that corresponds to the allocation to such Dopaco Stock contemplated under Section 2.2 (as adjusted by Section 2.4).

- 65 -

Appropriate reconciliation payments shall be made between the relevant Purchasing Entity and Seller to reflect the final adjusted Purchase Price.

10.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries; Binding Effect.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including, without limitation, Article VII), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns or any Purchasing Entity designated by Purchaser in accordance with Section 10.4, any rights, remedies, obligations, or Liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, provided that, to the extent reasonably permitted, Purchaser shall act as agent for any Purchasing Entity in connection with its enforcement of any rights hereunder. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, permitted assigns and any Purchasing Entity designated by Purchaser in accordance with Section 10.4.

10.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the Law of the conflicts of law of such State. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any civil action concerning any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated by, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the breach hereof, unless such court would not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, in which event the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.

10.7 Specific Performance.

Each of Purchaser and Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Seller would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by Purchaser of its obligations to close the Transactions (or any other of its obligations) hereunder (a “Purchaser Breach”), and Purchaser would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by Seller of its obligations to close the Transactions (or any other of its obligations) hereunder (a “Seller Breach”); (b) monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for Seller, in the event of a Purchaser Breach, or Purchaser, in the event of a Seller Breach; and (c) Seller, in the event of a Purchaser Breach, and Purchaser, in the event of a Seller Breach, shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief with respect thereto (without posting of a bond), in addition to any other remedy that it may have in equity or at law.

10.8 Severability.

If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable Law, such provision or provisions shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision or provisions were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

- 66 -

10.9 Titles and Subtitles.

The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

10.10 Expenses.

Except as the parties may otherwise agree in writing or as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser and Seller shall bear their own respective fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (whether consummated or not). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) none of such expenses or any other fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with a contemplated sale of the Companies shall be an obligation of any of the Companies at or subsequent to the Closing (other than any fees, costs or expenses of Purchaser that Purchaser may transfer to the Companies at or subsequent to the Closing) and Seller shall retain and discharge all such amounts, and (ii) this Section 10.10 shall not apply to Transfer Taxes, which are governed under Section 6.4.

10.11 Counterpart; Facsimile or PDF Signatures.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or PDF, and such facsimile and PDF signatures shall be treated as original signatures for all applicable purposes.

10.12 Guarantee.

Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment and the performance of all of Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement (the “Obligations”). The Obligations under this guaranty are absolute and unconditional, are not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction, abatement or defense based upon any claim Seller may have against Purchaser (other than those that would be available to Seller hereunder if a claim had been asserted against Seller rather than Guarantor), and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to (i) any agreement or modification to any of the terms of this Agreement; (ii) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver by Purchaser of any right, power, privilege or remedy under or in respect of this Agreement; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or the like of Seller or Guarantor at any time or (iv) absence of any notice to, or knowledge by, Guarantor of the existence or occurrence of any of the matters or events set forth in the foregoing subdivisions (i) through (iii). Guarantor unconditionally waives (i) any and all notice of default, non-performance or non-payment by Seller, in each case, to the extent notice of same has been provided to Seller in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve intact any rights of Purchaser against Guarantor, including, without limitation, any demand, presentment or protest, or proof of notice of non-payment under this Agreement, and (iii) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by Purchaser of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred in this Agreement or otherwise.
