1. Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and for the consideration herein stated, at the Closing, Seller agrees to sell or assign the following to Purchaser:

1.1 Sale to PCT.

a. In exchange for the Installment Sale Timberlands, delivery by PCT to MWV at Closing of an Installment Note (“Note”) in the amount of $860,000,000 that is substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 30 with such changes (i) as are required to be made pursuant to Section 3.2(d) or (e), (ii) as the Parties may otherwise reasonably agree from time to time for the purpose of assisting MWV in any securitization or other financing of the Note that MWV may enter into post-Closing and (iii) to reflect any applicable amendment to the representations, warranties, covenants or events of default in the Existing Term Loan Agreement or Existing Revolving Credit Agreement as agreed between PCT and its lenders thereunder after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date. PCT shall issue the Note on the Closing Date to

MWV or, if MWV shall elect in its sole discretion, a designee that is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of MWV. The interest rate on the Note shall be the interest rate agreed to by PCT and MWV on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Parties Agreed Rate”); provided, however, that in the event MWV and PCT are unable to agree on the interest rate for any reason, such rate shall be the interest rate determined on or prior to the Closing Date by Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs & Co., jointly, based on the all-in yield (consisting of the 10 year United States Treasury rate plus a new issue credit spread) equal to what PCT would be required to pay in a hypothetical $860,000,000 new issue debt offering of ten (10) year public unsecured bonds issued at par to large United States institutional investors (after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the transactions contemplated herein and capital structure of PCT on the Closing Date) (the “Banker Agreed Rate”).

Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any significant accounting issues identified during the preparation of such financial statements. Seller will reasonably cooperate with PCT and provide such financial information and materials as PCT may reasonably request and that are customary prior to or after Closing for PCT’s accounting purposes.

3.2 (a) From the Effective Date until one hundred thirty-five (135) days following the Closing Date, PCT shall provide, shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective officers and employees to provide, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their directors, managers, lawyers, accountants, financial advisors and other advisors to provide, any and all cooperation that is reasonably requested by MWV to assist MWV or any of its Affiliates in connection with any securitization of the Note in the bond market or bank financing in connection with which the Note is pledged as collateral (each a “Note Financing”); provided, that no such cooperation shall be required to the extent it would (i) unreasonably interfere in the conduct of the business or operations of PCT, (ii) require PCT to pay any fees or incur any out-of-pocket expenses unless MWV shall reimburse PCT for the same or (iii) in connection with any Note Financing other than with lenders in the Farm Credit System result in the disclosure of, or compel PCT to disclose, any otherwise non-public PCT Information (as defined below) during any “black out” period instituted by PCT in accordance with policies and procedures established by it in the ordinary course of business and, to the extent applicable, consistent with past practice, provided that PCT shall not be obligated to make any such disclosures to any lender in the Farm Credit System that has not executed a customary confidentiality agreement on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to PCT. Without limitation of the foregoing, such cooperation shall include, (w) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations and due diligence sessions with any potential financing sources in connection with a Note Financing and rating agencies, (x) providing reasonable and timely assistance with the preparation of materials for presentations, offering memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents prepared in connection with any Note Financing and providing customary authorization and representation letters in connection with any PCT Information included in such materials, (y) making such changes to the Note after the Closing Date as the parties thereto shall reasonably agree from time to time for the purpose of assisting MWV in any Note Financing that MWV may enter into post-Closing (including, as applicable, to conform the representations, covenants and events of default contained in the Note to the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement or Existing Term Loan Agreement, as then in effect), and (z) providing customary legal opinions and, with respect to the Note Legal Opinions, related reliance letters, in each case, for the benefit of the financing sources in connection with any Note Financing.

If the requisite majority of financing sources providing the Note Financing accept such amendment or waiver, as applicable, and MWV withholds its consent, PCT shall have the right to prepay the Note in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 4(b) thereof.

(c) Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that the aggregate Farm Credit System exposure of PCT and its Affiliates (treating undrawn borrowing commitments as being fully drawn for purposes of this provision) is less than or equal to $226,000,000 on the Closing Date. Without the prior written consent of MWV (such consent to be given or withheld in MWV’s sole discretion), until the date that is one hundred thirty-five (135) days after the Closing Date PCT, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby agrees that it shall not incur any indebtedness in, or obtain any commitments for indebtedness from, the Farm Credit System (other than the Existing Indebtedness) unless the Note shall have been financed prior to the date of determination (it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall be permitted to draw down any of the Existing Borrowing Commitments during such period).

The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the foregoing modifications shall be made in consideration of PCT’s cooperation with such securitization in accordance with Section 3.2(a) above and PC Parent’s agreeing to guarantee PCT’s obligations under the Note from and after the time such modifications are made and (ii) no securitization in the bond market shall be consummated until such modifications are in effect.

(e) To the extent MWV has not entered into a Note Financing within one hundred thirty-five (135) days of the Closing Date, MWV shall agree to modify the covenants and events of default contained in the Note to be consistent in all material respects with the covenants, events of default and other applicable provisions (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, rate, maturity and prepayment terms) contained in PCT’s most-recently-issued bonds (and related indenture, as supplemented or amended), and, if the interest rate on the Note then equals the Parties Agreed Rate, MWV shall agree to modify the interest rate on the Note to be equal to the Banker Agreed Rate effective from and after the 136^th day after the Closing Date. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the foregoing modifications shall be made in consideration of PC Parent’s agreeing to guarantee PCT’s obligations under the Note from and after the time such modifications are made and (ii) no Note Financing shall be consummated after the date that is one hundred thirty-five (135) days following the Closing Date until such modifications are in effect.

(f) In connection with any modification of the Note in accordance with Section 3.2(d) or Section 3.2(e), as applicable, PC Parent hereby agrees to absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, all obligations of PCT under the Note on terms consistent in all material respects with its guarantee of PCT’s most-recently-issued bonds (and related indenture, as supplemented or amended).

(g) Unless the interest rate on the Note equals the Banker Agreed Rate, neither MWV nor any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries shall enter into any Note Financing if in connection therewith it would receive any patronage or profit sharing distribution from the lenders thereunder.

(h) Unless the interest rate on the Note is set at the Banker Agreed Rate, if MWV or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, enters into any Note Financing in the bank market and if patronage or profit sharing distributions are payable on account of the loans to be assigned as provided below, then the terms of the definitive

documentation with respect to such financing shall prohibit the lenders thereunder from assigning their loans or commitments thereunder to any Person other than on terms (x) consistent in all material respects with those contained in the Existing Term Loan Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) (it being understood that neither MWV nor any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries shall, without PCT’s prior consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to any such assignment unless the assigning lender shall have certified to MWV or its wholly-owned Subsidiary, as applicable, that such lender has used commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the relevant assignment in a manner that would not result in a reduction in the amount of the patronage or profit sharing distributions payable on account of the loans and commitments to be assigned) or (y) with respect to which PCT shall otherwise have consented in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). MWV shall, or shall cause its wholly-owned Subsidiary (if applicable) to, deliver to PCT a copy of any certification referred to in clause (x) of the foregoing sentence.

7. Title.

(a) Subject to Section 10, CDLM LLC agree to convey or cause to be conveyed to Timberlands III, LLC (i) good and valid fee simple title to the Land and Improvements comprising the Timberlands (except where Seller’s rights are limited to surface rights only or are subject to reservations or restrictions with respect to subsurface rights, and without warranty or representation of any kind as to any wind, coal, oil and gas or minerals rights), good and valid title to the Timber, and good and valid title to the Personal Property, in each case free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, assessments, agreements, options and covenants, except for those matters set forth on Schedule 7(a) attached hereto (the “Permitted Encumbrances”) as applicable to the Timberlands, further subject to and except, in the case of Personal Property, any leases thereof which are identified in the Timberlands Contracts, and (ii) the Mineral Rights. Without limiting the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing contained in the Deeds (including any attached list of “Permitted Exceptions” therein) shall limit or otherwise affect the Permitted Encumbrances, and as between Seller and Purchaser, all Deeds shall be construed as conveying title subject to all Permitted Encumbrances as if fully set forth therein.

(b) Seller, at Seller’s expense, shall cause the Title Company to provide access to Purchaser to title commitments with respect to the real property it being understood and agreed that Seller shall have no obligation to deliver title searches or commitments with respect to any subsurface rights or the mineral estate, mineral interests or any riparian, water, or wind rights), and UCC searches (each, a “UCC Search” and collectively, “UCC Searches”) with respect to the Personal Property, such title commitments (each a “Title Commitment” and collectively, “Title Commitments”) to be issued by the Title Company, as title insurer, covering all of the Land, Improvements and Timber comprising the Timberlands, and the JV1 Properties and JV2 Properties together with copies of all deeds, surveys, plats, Tax maps and other documents referred to in the legal descriptions or the exception documents included in or referred to in such Title Commitments to the extent locatable in the public or Seller’s records (“Supporting Documentation”), which Title Commitments shall be particularly identified on Schedule 7(b) to be attached hereto upon access being provided by the Title Company. Purchaser shall have, as to each separate Title Commitment, until the later of (i) fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date, or (ii) forty (40) days following the date that Purchaser is granted access to such Title Commitment on the Title Company – hosted “ShareFile” electronic data room (the “Title Objection Period”), to deliver to Seller written notice of any matter reflected in such Title Commitment or UCC Search which is (w) an uninsurable or missing legal description, (x) with respect to the Timberlands, is a matter which, as to the tract or parcel of the Timberlands which is encumbered by such matter, would materially impair the value of such tract or parcel of Timberlands as commercial timberland or materially interfere with the operation and management of such tract or parcel of Timberlands as commercial timberland and is not a Permitted Encumbrance, (y) with respect to the JV1 Properties and JV2 Properties, a matter which would have a material adverse effect on the entitlement, operation, management or future value of any particular named development community (taken as a whole) within the applicable JV1 Property or JV2 Property and is not a Permitted Encumbrance, or (z) with respect to the

Personal Property, a matter which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Personal Property as a whole as currently used in connection with the operation and management of the Timberlands (each, a “Title Objection” and collectively, the “Title Objections”). Failure of Purchaser to deliver Title Objections within such time period shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of its right to make such Title Objections and acceptance of all exceptions and matters set forth in the respective Title Commitment or UCC Search. A Title Commitment or UCC Search shall be deemed to have been made available to, and received by, Purchaser when it is posted to the online data repository established and maintained by the Title Company for such purpose, together with all Supporting Documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without either party’s waiving its rights to assert any Title Objections or to object to or to attempt to resolve the same or agreeing to incur any cost or expense, Purchaser agrees to use its reasonable efforts to raise any objections solely with respect to legal descriptions as soon as reasonably practicable during the Title Objection Period, and Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate to try to resolve such objections with the Title Company as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

(c) Upon receipt of any Title Objection, Seller may (i) dispute the propriety of such Title Objection in accordance with Section 35 (“Title Objection Dispute”) or (ii) elect (but shall not be obligated) to attempt to cure or cause to be cured any such Title Objection at any time prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing (subject to post-closing cure rights as provided herein), and Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller is asserting a Title Objection Dispute or elects to attempt to cure the same by the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such Title Objection (which may be reasonably extended by Seller for an additional period of up to ten (10) days depending on the volume of Title Objections which are received at the same time), but in any event, prior to Closing (“Seller’s Response Period”), if Seller asserts a Title Objection Dispute, it shall reserve all of its rights to cure the subject Title Objection at or within 90 days after the Closing. Failure of Seller to respond in writing within Seller’s Response Period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to assert a Title Objection Dispute or cure such Title Objections. Any Title Objection shall be deemed to be cured for purposes of this Section 7 if Seller causes the Title Company to commit to issue a title insurance policy (each, a “Title Policy” and collectively, “Title Policies”) to Purchaser for the affected property (A) over which Title Objection the Title Company is willing to insure (without more than nominal additional cost to Purchaser or where Seller elects to pay such cost in excess of a nominal cost for Purchaser’s account), (B) against which the Title Company is willing to provide affirmative insurance (without more than nominal additional cost to Purchaser or where Seller elects to pay such cost in excess of a nominal cost for Purchaser’s account), (C) which will be extinguished upon the transfer of the property or (D) without raising such Title Objection as an exception to the title policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to cure, on or before the Closing Date, all Monetary Liens (other than those that (x) have been incurred in connection with the JV1 Properties and are set forth in the Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, or (y) are entered into prior to Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

(d) If (i) Seller does not elect to attempt to cure a Title Objection and does not assert a Title Objection Dispute by written notice to Purchaser within Seller’s Response Period, or (ii) Seller elects to attempt to cure a Title Objection but does not do so at the Closing or the Title Objection Dispute is resolved in favor of Purchaser, then Purchaser must elect by delivering written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of (A) Seller’s Response Period as to clause (i) or (B) within five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing as to clause (ii), either (x) to waive such Title Objection and proceed to the Closing, accepting title to those portions of the Timberlands or to such JV1 and JV2 Properties that are subject to such uncured Title Objection (which Title Objection shall become a Permitted Encumbrance) without adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof or (y) to exclude from the Timberlands only those portions of the Timberlands that are subject to such uncured Title Objection or Title Objections (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 13), and such Excluded Property otherwise complies with all of the provisions of Section 13 (a “Title Objection Carveout”) and proceed pursuant to Section 13 and Section 35 (if applicable) herein. Failure of Purchaser to deliver to Seller such written notice within the applicable five (5) Business Day period above shall be deemed an election of clause (x). Except for any applicable Title Objection Carveout, and the rights herein of Purchaser with respect to Title Objections to the JV1 Properties and JV2 Properties, Seller shall have no liability for electing to attempt to, but failing to cure, any Title Objection.

(e) In the event any title matter to which Purchaser has a right to object, first arises after the expiration of the Title Objection Period which was not reflected on the Title Commitments, then the following provisions will apply:

(i) Purchaser shall notify Seller of such matter in writing within ten (10) days of the earlier Purchaser’s discovery of such matter or such matter being brought to its attention by the Title Company (each, a “New Title Objection”), and failure by Purchaser to deliver such notice within such time period shall be deemed a waiver of any objection right with respect to such matter, which shall become a Permitted Encumbrance. With respect to each such New Title Objection, the same procedures for Seller to dispute the same or elect to attempt to cure the same shall apply as in subsections (c) and (d) above, except each of Seller’s periods in which to give notice or make an election shall be reduced to five (5) Business Days. Thereafter, the time periods for Purchaser to make the elections to waive the New Title Objection or to assert a Title Objection Carveout shall each be reduced to five (5) Business Days.

(ii) If such New Title Objection is a Monetary Lien, Seller shall be obligated to cure such New Title Objection on or before the Closing Date.

(f) (i) If any Title Objection with respect to any JV1 or JV2 Properties (as to which Seller does not assert a Title Objection Dispute or elect to cure the same) constitutes or results in a material adverse effect with respect to any particular named development community or project (taken as a whole) within the applicable JV1 Property or JV2 Property, as applicable, then the Title Objection Carveout shall consist of the entire named development community which contains the property subject to the Title Objection, and the parties shall proceed as provided in Section 13 and Section 35 (as applicable).

(ii) If any Title Objection with respect to any Personal Property (as to which Seller does not assert a Title Objection Dispute or elect to cure the same) constitutes or results in a material adverse effect with respect to the affected Personal Property then the Title Objection Carveout shall consist of the particular Personal Property which is subject to the Title Objection so long as it can reasonably be removed or severed from the remainder of the Personal Property without material expense; provided that Seller shall have the option to include the subject personal property within the sale to Purchaser but subject to any applicable reduction in the Purchase Price, and the parties shall proceed as provided in Section 13 and Section 35.

(g) So long as this Agreement remains in force, Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent not to be unreasonably withheld, (i) enter into any new lease, or first encumber or convey all or part of the Assets or any interest therein (provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges the existence of the Timberlands Contracts and that Seller may from time to time execute timber sale agreements, service contracts and other similar agreements necessary to continue operations in the ordinary course of business), or (ii) enter into any new agreement, including stumpage sale contracts, granting to any Person any right with respect to the Timberlands, the JV1 or JV2 Properties or Mineral Rights or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right, in the ordinary course of business without Purchaser’s consent (provided that Seller shall provide updates no less often than every two (2) weeks), (1) to enter into lease, license and concession agreements that are terminable without cause on or before the Closing, (2) to renew the Timberlands Contracts or to enter into new recreational leases substantially in the form of the existing Timberlands Contracts, provided that any such renewal or new recreational lease (A) shall be for a term of not more than twelve (12) months after the Closing, and (B) shall be terminable by the lessor thereunder upon not less than sixty (60) days prior notice, (3) to continue to manage, operate and harvest the Timberlands in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Forecasted Harvesting Plan and in accordance with Sustainable Forest Practice Standards, including entering into new contracts and agreements therefor, and road maintenance, silvicultural operations and planting, (4) in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Forecasted Harvesting Plan, enter into any new harvest contracts or extend any existing harvest contracts, in each case, having a term that expires on or before February 28, 2014, (5) to comply with all terms, conditions and provisions of, and otherwise perform, all Timberlands Contracts and Permitted Encumbrances in existence or for which application has been made or which Governmental Authorities have granted permission on the Effective Date, including all terms, conditions and requirements of development agreements, permits, entitlements and other agreements in respect of the JV1 and JV2 Properties that have been disclosed in the Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, and (6) continue to manage, operate, develop, lease and sell (consistent with Seller’s Disclosures) the JV1 Properties and JV2 Properties in the ordinary course of business and, with respect to the JV2 Properties, in accordance with the JV2 Strategic Plans (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement). To avoid any doubt, prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall not incur any debt or place any Monetary

Lien on or with respect to MWV-EED or the JV2 Subsidiaries, or the JV2 Properties without Purchaser’s consent, which may be granted or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser is aware that after Closing, Purchaser shall have the obligation to reforest such harvested areas pursuant to applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, if within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Seller elects to undertake and completes the curing of any Title Objection with respect to any Title Objection Carveout and notifies Purchaser thereof in writing, Purchaser shall purchase the Excluded Property in question from Seller (or such property shall be contributed by Seller to MWV-EED or JV1, as applicable) for cash at a price (or amount of capital contribution by Purchaser) equal to the value by which the Purchase Price was reduced (or the amount by which Purchaser’s capital contribution was reduced) because of the Title Objection Carveout (and otherwise on the terms set forth in this Agreement), provided that the Excluded Property is in substantially the same physical condition, reasonable wear and tear excluded, as it was as of the date of Closing. Subject to the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 19 (with the term “Closing Date” construed to mean the date of closing on the Excluded Property) solely to the extent such conditions remain applicable to the Excluded Property, the parties shall close the purchase and sale (or contribution) of any such Excluded Property on a date that is on or about thirty (30) days after Seller so notifies Purchaser that the cure has been completed (or on such other date as Purchaser and Seller may agree), and at such closing the parties shall take the actions (and bear the costs) with respect to the purchase and sale of such Excluded Property that would have been taken (or borne) by such party under this Agreement had the Excluded Property been included in the original Closing, and such closing thereafter shall be considered the “Closing” with respect to such Excluded Property for all purposes of this Agreement.

(i) The Parties agree that the measurement of “acre” and “acreage” as used in this Agreement for any and all purposes has been, and shall be, calculated in accordance with the GIS method, absent manifest error.

8. Inspection.

(a) Generally. Purchaser and its agents, representatives, employees, engineers and contractors shall have the right during the term of this Agreement prior to the Closing, upon reasonable advance notice to Seller and the opportunity for Seller to have a representative present and accompany Purchaser and its representatives, in Seller’s sole discretion, to enter upon the Assets to inspect, examine, survey and make test borings, soil bearing tests, timber cruises, soil percolation tests and other review, engineering tests or surveys which it may deem necessary or advisable and to verify the accuracy of all data and information, if any, provided by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the Assets, all to be done in a prudent and professional manner (“Purchaser’s Environmental Review”); provided, however, that Purchaser shall obtain the written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to conducting any core sampling, test borings, ground water sampling, soil sampling, surface water sampling or other invasive testing. Purchaser’s request for such written consent

shall describe with reasonable specificity the Assets to be entered and the testing to be undertaken. Seller shall have the right, in its sole discretion and expense, to obtain split samples of any test borings, soil bearing tests, soil percolation tests and other engineering tests, surveys or invasive testing which is performed. Purchaser shall share the results of any such testing, upon request from Seller. Purchaser and all contractors, representatives and agents of Purchaser who enter upon the Assets shall maintain (i) commercial general liability insurance, naming Seller as an additional insured, in an amount not less than $2,000,000, (ii) workers’ compensation insurance providing statutory benefits, (iii) employer’s liability in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per accident, $1,000,000 per employee by disease and $1,000,000 disease policy limit, (iv) auto liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit and (v) excess umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000, in each case with respect to each separate contractor, representative or agent, and, prior to any such entry upon the Assets, Purchaser shall provide Seller with written evidence of such insurance, the limits of which can be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess/umbrella coverage. Purchaser hereby agrees to and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, actions, proceedings, and damages whether arising out of personal injuries or property damage to the subject Asset or any other land or property (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from or arising out of said access, entry, inspections, examinations and tests; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be responsible for the discovery of pre-existing conditions on the Assets, but shall be solely responsible for and indemnify and hold harmless Seller against the exacerbation of any pre-existing conditions on the Assets to the extent contributed to by the negligent or intentional act or omission of Purchaser. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement or the Closing.

(b) Environmental Review. Subject to the provisions and limitations set forth in Section 8(a) above, (x) with respect to the portion of the Assets (other than the South Carolina Timberlands) covered in each Phase I Report, Purchaser will have the right at any time on or before the later of (i) thirty (30) days following receipt of each Phase I Report or (ii) fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date and (y) with respect to the South Carolina Timberlands and Specified West Virginia Timberlands, Purchaser shall have the right at any time on or before November 22, 2013 (the “Environmental Review Period”) to review and verify the information contained in those certain Phase I Environmental Site Assessments described on Schedule 8(b) (collectively, the “Phase I Reports”), which Phase I Reports have been commissioned by Seller. In the event that the Phase I Reports, Purchaser’s Environmental Review or Seller’s Disclosures attached hereto as Schedule 14 disclose the existence of an environmental matter to which Purchaser objects and which (i) would ordinarily constitute a “recognized environmental condition” under applicable ASTM environmental practices, or (ii) indicates the presence of any Hazardous Substance that presents a material risk of harm to public health or the environment, or (iii) indicates the presence of any Hazardous Substance that would be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of the appropriate Governmental Authorities and reasonably likely to result in material monetary liability or remediation costs to Purchaser (hereinafter collectively referred to as an “Environmental Condition”), Purchaser shall so notify Seller of its objections, if any, on or before expiration of the Environmental Review Period.

Purchaser may, at its sole discretion, provide Seller a prioritized schedule of sites where Purchaser has identified a possible or actual Environmental Condition and further investigation is requested or required prior to Purchaser making any decision to notify Seller of an objection regarding such sites. Seller will reasonable cooperate with Purchaser to coordinate site visits to such priority sites and Seller or Seller’s environmental consultant will accompany Purchaser or Purchaser’s environmental consultant, when practicable. If after the Environmental Review Period but before Closing Purchaser becomes aware of an Environmental Condition not disclosed by the Phase I Reports, the Purchaser’s Environmental Review or Seller’s Disclosures, Purchaser shall so notify Seller within ten (10) days of discovery of the undisclosed Environmental Condition. If Purchaser fails to give such notice to Seller within the time specified, the objection(s) shall be deemed waived by Purchaser. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to cure and remove any or all such Environmental Conditions prior to Closing, or dispute the existence of the Environmental Condition by notice to Purchaser (“Environmental Objection Dispute”) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of an Environmental Condition, and submit the matter to resolution in accordance with Section 35. If Seller is unwilling or fails to cure any such Environmental Condition by Closing, and has not asserted any Environmental Objection Dispute Purchaser may in its sole discretion: (x) waive its objection and proceed with Closing, or (y) (1) with respect to any of the Assets (specifically excluding any of the JV1 or JV2 Properties), elect to delete the portion or portions of the property affected by such Environmental Condition from the Assets conveyed by Seller or (2) with respect to the JV1 or JV2 Properties, if the Environmental Condition results in a material adverse effect with respect to the entire named development community (taken as a whole) within the applicable JV1 Property or JV2 Property, as applicable, elect to delete the entire named development community only (“Environmental Carveout”) and proceed pursuant to Section 13 and Section 35 herein. In the event Purchaser fails to provide notice of any Environmental Conditions during the Environmental Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived objection to such Environmental Conditions. Without limiting Purchaser’s other rights under this Agreement, Purchaser agrees and confirms that, subsequent to the Closing, it will not make any claims under any warranty in the Deeds with respect to any Environmental Conditions or any other environmental matters disclosed in or pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, if (i) within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Seller completes the remediation of any Environmental Condition with respect to an Environmental Carveout in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, and notifies Purchaser thereof in writing and (ii) Purchaser has not previously elected to permanently exclude the Environmental Carveout pursuant to Section 35 herein, Purchaser shall purchase the Excluded Property in question from Seller (or such property shall be contributed by Seller to MWV-EED or JV1, as applicable) for cash at a price (or amount of capital contribution by Purchaser) equal to the value by which the Purchase Price was reduced (or the amount by which Purchaser’s capital contribution was reduced) because of the Environmental Carveout (and otherwise on the terms set forth in this Agreement), provided that the Excluded Property is in substantially the same condition, reasonable wear and tear excluded and Environmental Condition remediated, as it was as of the date of Closing. Subject to the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 19 (with the term “Closing Date”

construed to mean the date of closing on the Excluded Property) solely to the extent such conditions remain applicable to the Excluded Property, the parties shall close the purchase and sale (or contribution) of any such Excluded Property on a date that is on or about thirty (30) days after Seller so notifies Purchaser that the remediation has been completed (or on such other date as Purchaser and Seller may agree), and at such closing the parties shall take the actions (and bear the costs) with respect to the purchase and sale of such Excluded Property that would have been taken (or borne) by such party under this Agreement had the Excluded Property been included in the original Closing, and such closing thereafter shall be considered the “Closing” with respect to such Excluded Property for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Access. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser and the Title Company at the Closing an affidavit in the general form set forth on Exhibit 2, certifying to Purchaser and Title Company any Historical Access information provided by Seller (the “Access Affidavit”), with respect to any tracts of land as to which the Title Company has noted a lack of legal access according to the public records. Seller and Purchaser shall work collaboratively in good faith with the Title Company to seek insured legal or Historical Access on as many of the acres as is practicable, with only nominal cost or expense to Seller.

9. HSR Act. The Parties have mutually determined in good faith that filings are not required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and its implementing rules and regulations (together, the “HSR Act and Rules”), based on the current terms of the Transactions and the current application of the HSR Act and Rules. In the event that there are changes in the terms of the Transactions, the application of the HSR Act and Rules or other circumstances such that filings will be required, the Purchaser and Seller will cooperate and coordinate to submit their respective filings and will use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period.

10. Reserved Interests; Dominant Estate and Surface Damage Provisions.

(a) At the Closing, the Deeds delivered to Timberlands III, LLC and Highland Mineral shall reserve and except in the name of Seller, its successors and assignees and designated licensees the Reserved Interests and all ArborGen Nurseries, together with all easements and rights of way provided under the Rupert Lease and the EAEC Lease (except with respect to the partial assignment thereof to Highland Mineral as provided herein) for the continued operation, management, use and exploitation thereof.

(b) At the Closing, Purchaser shall grant to Seller or its Affiliates, MWV-EED and/or JV1 certain road, drainage and other easements as are more particularly described on Schedule 10(b). At or after the Closing, Purchaser shall, following good faith negotiations by Purchaser and Seller, grant to Seller or its Affiliates, MWV-EED and/or JV1, as applicable, such other or additional easements across such of the Timberlands as are adjacent to the property which may be owned or retained by Seller or its Affiliates, or the JV1 Properties or the JV2 Properties, as applicable, as are reasonable and subject to commercially reasonable terms, taking into account location, width, allowed uses, maintenance, construction, compensation and other customary issues arising out of a proposed grant of easement rights over adjoining property.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the West Virginia Deeds and the West Virginia Mineral Rights Deeds shall provide, as covenants running with the land, that coal is the Dominant Estate vis-à-vis the Reserved Interests.

(d) “Dominant Estate” shall mean:

(i) The coal rights may be developed by any technology, process, practice or means of mining, drilling or development now known or hereafter invented or developed.

(ii) The coal owner and its coal rights lessees, in the development of the coal rights, shall have no duty to provide subjacent and lateral support for wells, pipelines and other surface facilities.

(iii) The coal owner and its coal rights lessees shall have drainage rights, dumping rights for refuse and overburden and easements and rights of way for roadways granted by the surface owner, provided there shall be no drainage, dumping or refuse permitted in areas constructed for such purposes by the Hydrocarbon owner or lessee (“Operator”) in the development of the Hydrocarbons or at existing drill sites, pipelines or surface facilities.

(iv) In the event the coal owner, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, determines that development of the Reserved Interests (1) will directly and adversely affect any active or planned underground coal operation within a marketable coal reserve with a seam exceeding twenty-four inches (24”) in height in which pillars cannot be planned in coordination with the development of the Reserved Interests, or (2) will directly and adversely impact any active surface mining operation or a planned surface mining operation for which a permit application has been filed, or (3) any surface facilities associated with such underground or surface mining operation, the coal owner shall have the following rights:

A. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Operator’s notification of a proposed well location, to prohibit drilling of such well at such location; provided, however, that the coal owner shall provide and approve another acceptable location for such proposed well as close in proximity as possible to, but no more than one thousand five hundred feet (1,500’) from, the prohibited location. Upon failure of the coal owner to notify Operator that the drilling of the well is prohibited, and providing an acceptable location of the proposed well, within said 30-day period, Operator shall have the right to assume that the proposed location is acceptable to the coal owner;

B. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Operator’s notification of a proposed pipeline location or other surface facilities such as compressor stations, meters, or other surface equipment, to prohibit installation of such pipeline or other surface facilities at such location; provided, however, that coal owner shall provide and approve another acceptable location for such proposed pipeline or other surface facilities as close in proximity as possible to the prohibited location and such alternate location shall not directly and adversely affect the Hydrocarbon operations. Upon failure of the coal owner to provide notice to Operator that the installation of the pipeline or other surface facility is prohibited, or failure to provide an acceptable location of the proposed pipeline or other surface facilities within said 30-day period, Operator shall have the right to assume that the proposed location is acceptable to coal owner.

C. To require Operator, at coal owner’s expense, to move any of its pipelines or related surface facilities which Operator constructs or places on the property herein conveyed to another location reasonably designated by coal owner as close in proximity as possible to, but no more than one thousand five hundred feet (1,500’) from, the current location.

(v) The Operator shall consult with the surface owner prior to using existing access roads owned by surface owner. The Operator shall repair any damages it causes to roads it uses on the West Virginia Lands that it did not construct. The surface owner, coal owner and other minerals owner shall have the right to use roads constructed by the Operator and shall repair any damages they cause to such roads.

(vi) The surface owner shall be entitled to damages for surface disturbance on account of Hydrocarbon operations, based solely upon the formula, and its sole remedy for surface damages, with the exception of damages arising out of violation of Environmental Laws, shall be, as set forth in subsection 10(d)(vii) below.

(vii) The Operator shall stack all timber cut for its well locations, pipelines, road right-of-ways and other operations at sites mutually agreed upon by the Operator and surface owner which timber may be subsequently removed by surface owner or its contractors and shall remain the property of surface owner. The Operator shall pay damages for all areas disturbed by well locations, pipelines, well roads and other operations according to one of the two following formulas, as applicable, such payments to be made within sixty (60) days following completion of the work:

A. Where timber stand is less than twenty-six (26) years old, Damages equals [Regeneration Stand Value] + [Lost Income]; or

B. Where timber stand is twenty-six (26) years old or older, damages equals [Lost Income] + [Actual Value of Merchantable Timber].

Where:

“Regeneration Stand Value” shall be $15 per acre multiplied by the age of the timber stand in years (Example: Two acres of 20 year-old timber = $15 x 2 x 20 = $600).

“Lost Income” shall be $3,000.00 per acre (Example: Two and one quarter acres disturbed: 2.25 acres x $3,000.00/acre = $6,750.00).

“Actual Value of Merchantable Timber” shall be determined on the basis of the board footage and species of timber cut multiplied by the price then being paid to surface owner (or other local timber operator if surface owner is not in the timber business) for timber of like kind and character. Actual Value of Merchantable Timber shall not exceed Three Thousand ($3,000) Dollars per acre (Timber Damages Cap). All values for calculating damages for cut timber and surface use, including the Timber Damages Cap, shall be adjusted on February 1, 2024, and every ten years thereafter, to reflect the cumulative annual change up or down in the Producers Price Index for Hardwood Lumber (08-12) as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for each January to January annual period during the ten years prior; provided, that, in no event shall any such ten year adjustment increase or decrease exceed twenty-four (24%) percent. In the event that the Producers Price Index for Hardwood Lumber is discontinued, all subsequent adjustments shall be made on the nearest comparable commodity price index that is then available as mutually agreed to by the Operator and surface owner.

(viii) Where coal is required by law to be left for protection of a well or wells and/or a coal mine or mines in coal seams in the lands included herein, the Operator shall pay to the coal owner a coal royalty of One Dollar ($1.00) per net ton or five percent (5%) of the average gross selling price of similar quality coal sold in the area, whichever is greater, for the estimated quantity of mineable and merchantable coal required by law to be left as a pillar for the protection of any such well, royalty to be paid at the time said pillar coal is located and by-passed by the coal mining operations; provided however, that, if any well is abandoned prior to the time that coal mining operations reach such well and the well is so plugged as to allow the mining recovery of said pillar of coal in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations of the United States Government and the State of West Virginia, then Seller shall not be obligated to pay the coal royalty herein provided on account of the drilling of such well. For the purpose of this Section, the seams of coal which shall be considered as “mineable” shall be those seams which are twenty-four inches (24”) or more in thickness.

(e) Section 10(d) shall not be interpreted to provide any rights or obligations other than those specifically set forth therein.

(f) Seller shall make any future Hydrocarbon lease subject to payment of damages to the surface owner according to the foregoing formula, and damages measured by that formula shall constitute all damages to which the surface owner shall be entitled for surface

damages on account of Hydrocarbon operations, it being understood and agreed that the surface owner requested the foregoing formula and accepts the same for itself, its successors and assigns as full compensation for such surface damages for reasonable surface use, in lieu of and in full satisfaction of any statutory or common law entitlement to damages.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that, in lieu of the rights set forth in Sections 10(d) through (f), they shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 10(g) during (1) the term of the Rupert Lease and (2) with respect to the West Virginia Lands then covered by the Rupert Lease (except to the extent any lands thereunder are also subject at that time to the EAEC Lease). The provisions of Sections 10(d) through10(f) shall apply to any part or portion of the West Virginia Lands only when the Rupert Lease no longer applies to such lands by virtue of lease termination; surrender of acreage; pursuant to the provisions of this section for failure to assign; or for any other reason. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section 10(g) shall not be included in the West Virginia Deeds and West Virginia Mineral Deeds, but that this Section 10(g) shall continue in full force and effect for the time specified and with respect to the lands covered and shall not be deemed terminated by the doctrine of merger or otherwise by virtue of its absence from the West Virginia Deeds or the West Virginia Mineral Deeds. PCT and Highland shall make any subsequent conveyance of the West Virginia Lands then covered by the Rupert Lease subject to the terms of this Section 10(g). If PCT or Highland does not make any subsequent conveyance subject hereto, the West Virginia Lands or portion thereof so conveyed shall be subject only to the provisions regarding Dominant Estate set forth in the West Virginia Deeds and the West Virginia Mineral Deeds.

(i) Seller shall reserve and continue to exercise all rights and privileges of the Lessor under the Rupert Lease, provided, however, that Seller shall permit Highland Mineral (1) to direct Seller’s actions with respect to rights of both the surface owner and the coal owner under Sections 1(C) (3) – (7), 6, 7 and 8 of the Rupert Lease, as modified and clarified in subsections 10(g)(viii)(A) – (D) below (the “Rupert Provisions”) and (2) Highland Mineral shall comply with all obligations of both the surface owner and the coal owner under the Rupert Lease, as modified and clarified in the Rupert Provisions. PCT hereby appoints Highland as its irrevocable agent and attorney-in-fact to exercise such rights and waives any claim for Losses it may accrue attributable to Seller’s reliance on Highland’s directions, acts or omissions as such agent.

(ii) If the lessee or lessees under the Rupert Lease (“Rupert Lessee”) breaches any of the Rupert Provisions and Rupert Lessee or its insurers do not pay PCT’s or Highland Mineral’s, as applicable, Losses for Rupert Lessee’s breach of those provisions, Seller shall pay such Losses (or amounts not paid by Lessee or its insurers) to PCT or Highland Mineral, as their interests appear, and Seller shall have full rights of subrogation with respect to any amounts paid to PCT or Highland Mineral. Seller shall have no responsibility for tortious acts or omissions of Lessee and shall have no responsibility for punitive damages, and Purchaser hereby waives any claim for punitive damages against Seller under any theory of tort, breach of contract, or otherwise arising out of the acts or omissions of its Lessee provided that PCT or Highland Mineral shall retain the rights to pursue such damages directly from Lessee.

(iii) Seller shall enforce the Rupert Provisions at the written request of Highland Mineral and at Highland Mineral’s expense, provided that, subject to the remaining provisions of this subsection, Highland Mineral shall have full control of any such legal actions and reserves at all times the right to choose the attorney or attorneys to perform the professional services involved in such actions. Seller shall in no event seek any relief from Rupert Lessee on behalf of Highland other than monetary damages, specific performance, injunctive relief, a declaratory judgment action, or any combination thereof, but such relief shall not interfere with continuing operations in accordance with the terms of the Rupert Lease. In no event may Highland or PCT seek to terminate or cancel the Rupert Lease or in any manner seek to obtain any relief that would interfere with continuing operations under the Rupert Lease or any portion thereof. Seller shall retain all rights under the Rupert Lease as the owner of the Hydrocarbons, and neither PCT nor Highland shall be entitled to diminish any of the rights or obligations of Seller or Rupert Lessee under the Rupert Lease.

(iv) Highland Mineral shall promptly respond to all requests for consent by Rupert Lessee and shall not unreasonably withhold any response. Both Seller and Highland Mineral shall have the duty to act in good faith and fair dealing in exercising their rights and obligations. If Highland breaches any of the obligations of the surface owner or coal owner with which it has agreed to comply under subsection (i) above, Seller may pursue any remedies it may have for such breach. In the event the Rupert Lessee makes a claim or files a civil action claiming that Seller breached its obligations under the Rupert Lease based upon direction provided by Highland Mineral, Highland Mineral shall indemnify and defend Seller against all Losses arising from such claim.

(v) PCT hereby guarantees payment of Highland Mineral’s financial obligations under the Rupert Provisions and under subsections 10(g)(iii) and (iv).

(vi) In the event there is litigation or a binding alternate dispute resolution proceeding between Seller and Rupert Lessee relating to an alleged breach of the Rupert Provisions, PCT and Highland Mineral shall be bound by the outcome of that litigation or alternate dispute resolution proceeding, provided, that PCT or Highland Mineral, as applicable, may, at its own cost and expense, seek to intervene in the litigation or alternate dispute resolution proceeding to protect its rights and Seller will not oppose such intervention. PCT or Highland Mineral shall provide full cooperation and support in any litigation Seller might institute to recover amounts paid for breach of the Rupert Provisions. If PCT or Highland Mineral settles a claim for Losses directly with the Rupert Lessee or its insurers, it may not seek further compensation from Seller.

(vii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, only PCT shall have the right to surface damages and PCT shall, with the exception of damages arising out of the violation of Environmental Laws, be bound by the formula for such damages as established in Section 6.B.2.

(viii) The Rupert Provisions are clarified and modified only for purposes of implementing this subsection 10(g) between the Parties hereto as follows, but shall have no effect on the rights of the Lessee:

A. The provisions of Sections 6.C.1, 6.D.2 and 8.B.2 are hereby modified to provide that Seller shall provide notice to Highland Mineral within five (5) days of receipt of any requests or notices from Rupert Lessee regarding location of surface facilities, use of roads and well location proposals received from Rupert Lessee. Highland Mineral shall respond to Seller at least five (5) days prior to the date on which any response is due to Lessee.

B. The provisions of Sections 8.A., 8.A.1, 8.A.2, 8.A.3, 8A.4 and 8A.6 shall be disregarded. The language in Section 8.A.5 shall be modified and interpreted to provide that Operator shall cooperate with coal lessees to reduce, to the maximum extent practicable, the unmined coal barrier that must be left around Operator’s well bores. Operator shall provide, at no cost, as-drilled surveys of well bores for depths beginning one hundred feet (100’) above the shallowest coal formation and ending one hundred feet (100’) below the deepest coal formation. Operator also shall not unreasonably withhold any consent required or needed by a coal lessee for any governmental agency with respect to minimizing the unmined coal barrier. Operator shall not be required to waive any causes of action it may have against a coal lessee for damages to a well on account of such cooperation.

C. The language in Section 8.B.1 that “All wells shall be located so as not to interfere with the Coal Estate leases” shall be disregarded as an ambiguous reference to the specific rights set forth in the Lease.

D. The provisions of Section 8.B.1 regarding the Coal Operations Acreage Map shall be modified and interpreted to provide that Highland Mineral shall from time to time, but no later than February 1, 2018, and thereafter on each fifth (5^th) anniversary of that date (but in no event more frequently than once during any twelve (12) month period), provide Seller and Lessee a map depicting the boundaries of tracts (as defined by Highland Mineral) designated as Coal Operations Acreage, provided, that the Coal Operations Acreage designated on any such map shall never exceed one-tenth (1/10) of the Leased Premises acreage excluding Earned Acreage (as defined in the Rupert Lease) and surrendered acreage. Seller shall provide Highland Mineral with a report of Earned Acreage and surrendered acreage upon request. Highland Mineral shall cooperate in good faith to remove acreage from the map where tracts have already been mined or it has no plans to mine in the future. If Highland Mineral fails to provide an updated Coal Operations Acreage Map, Seller and its Lessee shall have no obligation to avoid drilling in a particular area except as provided in Section 8.B.2. The remainder of Section 8.B.1 are not modified by the subsection.

11. Deliveries; No Contact. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has delivered to Purchaser, and Purchaser is in receipt of, (i) Seller’s current compartment maps for each tract within the Timberlands and JV2 Property (which maps shall include aerial imagery, topographical imagery and timber type), (ii) copies of the Material Timberlands Contracts, Material JV1 Contracts, and Material JV2 Contracts (it being understood that Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of all Timberlands Contracts at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date), (iii) copies of the Limestone Lease, (iv) partially redacted copies of the Rupert Lease, the EAEC Lease and the West Virginia Paving Lease, and (v) copies of other material items related to the ownership, development and management of the Assets and those requested by Purchaser, to the extent the same are in Seller’s possession or control and are reasonably available to Seller. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall not contact or communicate with any counterparty to any Timberlands Contract, Material JV1 Contract, Material JV2 Contract, the Limestone Lease, the Rupert Lease, the EAEC Lease, the West Virginia Paving Lease or joint venture agreement with respect to the Transactions without the prior written consent of Seller as to each prospective contact, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller hereby consents to Purchaser, in cooperation with Seller if Seller desires to participate, contacting logging contractors after the Effective Date for the purpose of introducing Purchaser as a potential buyer of the Timberlands and as a potential assignee of the logging contracts. If this Agreement is terminated or if Closing does not occur, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller all information delivered to Purchaser (in whatever form) pursuant to this Agreement, provided that, to the extent such information is in electronic format, Purchaser shall delete or destroy all such information, except as may be required to comply with applicable laws and regulations or a pre-existing formal document retention policy, and promptly deliver to Seller written certification of such destruction. Purchaser shall also hold as confidential and not disclose any information learned from the Phase I Reports, the Purchaser Environmental Review, or Seller’s Disclosures.

12. Condition of Timberlands; Damage; Condemnation.

(a) Subject to the ongoing harvesting operations described in Section 12(b) below, usual and customary timberland operations, natural wear and tear, the Permitted Encumbrances, condemnation, casualty, weather and other circumstances beyond Seller’s control, Seller represents that at the Closing, the Timberlands shall be in substantially the same condition as exists on the Effective Date. Additionally, other than as described in Section 12(b) below, between the Effective Date and Closing, Seller shall not harvest or remove any timber from the Timberlands. Subject to the provisions of this Section 12, all risk of loss to the Timberlands or any part thereof prior to the Closing shall be borne by Seller.

(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller is conducting ongoing timber harvesting operations pursuant to the Forecasted Harvesting Plan, subject to variations as a result of weather or necessary substitutions so long as volume levels are consistent with the Forecasted Harvesting Plan. Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to

assign any Forecasted Harvesting Plan contracts that are not completed by the Closing to Purchaser. Further, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser is aware that after Closing, Purchaser shall have obligation to reforest such harvested areas pursuant to applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c) If at any time prior to the Closing, any material portion of the Assets (including any timber thereon) is destroyed or damaged by fire, earthquake, flood, or other casualty, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser prompt written notice of such damage along with the amount of such damage (calculated as the value of the destroyed or damaged Assets plus any costs of restoration and replanting less the salvage value of such destroyed or damaged Assets) (the “Casualty Damage Value”). If Purchaser, by delivering written notice to Seller within ten (10) days following Seller’s delivery of written notice of the damage, disputes the Casualty Damage Value reported by Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute and agree upon the Casualty Damage Value. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree as to the Casualty Damage Value on or before ten (10) days after Purchaser delivers to Seller written notice of its dispute, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 35. Any amounts in dispute shall be excluded from the Purchase Price upon the Closing and shall be distributed immediately upon resolution of any dispute in accordance with Section 35. Upon determination of the Casualty Damage Value the Parties shall proceed pursuant to Section 13.

(d) If at any time prior to the Closing, any action or proceeding is filed or threatened under which any portion of the Assets may be taken pursuant to any law, ordinance or regulation by condemnation or the right of eminent domain, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser prompt written notice thereof. In such event, Purchaser and Seller shall be required to consummate the Transactions and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price (or in the case of the JV1 and JV2 Properties, the agreed aggregate valuation of the JV1 Properties and JV2 Properties described in Section 4 hereof and PCL JV1 Contribution or PCL JV2 Contribution, as applicable, shall be adjusted) in the amount of all proceeds of any awards payable with respect to the applicable Assets. If the amount of such awards is not known or paid at the Closing, Purchaser will promptly pay over to Seller (or increase the applicable PCL JV1 or PCL JV2 Contribution) the amount of the award after the Closing.

13. Carveouts; Purchase Price Adjustments.

13.1

(a) If Seller has asserted a Title Objection Dispute or an Environmental Objection Dispute, such Disputes shall be reasonably aggregated in order to efficiently resolve the Dispute(s) pursuant to Section 35.

(b) Subject to Seller’s post-closing cure rights as provided herein, (i) upon the resolution of all Disputes referred to Section 13.1(a) (if there are any Disputes which are resolved in the favor of Purchaser), or (ii) if there are no such Disputes and Purchaser is entitled to and elects to exclude any portion of the Assets pursuant to a Title Objection Carveout (Sections 7(d) and 7(e)) or an Environmental Carveout (Section 8(b)), each of the same being referred to as a “Carveout”)), the Parties shall proceed as follows:

(i) With respect to all Assets other than the JV1 Properties, the JV2 Properties or the Personal Property, the Parties shall determine the boundaries of the Carveout so that each Carveout shall be an economically feasible and marketable parcel of commercially sufficient size and configuration, comprising not less than 40 contiguous acres (or such lesser number of acres as Seller may determine in its sole discretion), and which is legally divisible or separable from the remaining parcel or tract of which it is a part under all applicable subdivision and other laws, and (A) has access to a public road or (B) will be granted access by recordable easement or right of way from Purchaser at the Closing, in each case reasonably acceptable to Seller, in accordance with the Carveout Access Easement as provided in Section 13.1(c) below. With respect to the JV1 Properties and JV2 Properties, the Carveout shall consist of the entire named development community or project which contains the parcel or tract of land affected by the Environmental Condition or Title Objection. With respect to the Personal Property, the Carveout shall consist of the specific property affected by the Title Objection.

(ii) The Parties shall determine the value of each Carveout, which shall (A) for Assets (other than the JV1 and JV2 Properties and the Personal Property), be equal to the product of the number of acres contained within such Carveout multiplied by the per acre value of excluded property as shown on the value table attached hereto as Exhibit 41 (the “Value Table”) (provided that any disputes regarding the value of any Carveout shall be resolved in accordance with Section 35), and (B) for the JV1 and JV2 Properties, be equal to the valuations for the same set forth in the LLC Agreement (“JV Valuation Schedule”), and (C) for the Personal Property, shall be $0.

(c) At Closing, each Party shall reserve or grant, or assign or license, to the other, its successors and assigns as appropriate, such non-exclusive easements, rights of way, licenses and other rights for pedestrian, vehicular and commercial access, ingress, egress and utilities as may be required by the requesting party to access or cross any excluded portion of the Assets (including assignment or license of rights granted pursuant to existing access rights) upon such terms and conditions and in such form as are reasonably agreeable to the parties that are usual and customary in timberland transactions, but without any cost or charge therefor (other than for an equitable allocation of expenses for repair or maintenance in connection with such use) (as to each such Carveout, “Carveout Access Easement”). Without limiting the foregoing, each Carveout Access Easement with respect to an Environmental Condition (including Environmental Carveouts which are excluded from the purchase pursuant to the last sentence of Section 35) shall contain such reasonable rights of access, transportation, inspection, testing, monitoring and remediation in connection with such Environmental Carveout as are usual and customary with respect to such parcels. The Parties shall grant or reserve, or assign or

license, as the case may be, all of the same easements, rights of way, licenses and other rights (including for environmental purposes) as are applicable to Carveouts determined prior to the Closing, with respect to all Carveouts determined after the Closing, and all of the same shall be included within the term “Carveout Access Easements.”

13.2

(a) Subject to Purchaser’s termination rights under Section 20 herein, in the event the aggregate value of the Carveouts (Section 13.1(b)(ii)(A) and 13.1(b)(ii)(C)), including Carveouts resulting from the resolution of any Environmental Objection Dispute in accordance with Section 35 in favor of Purchaser) and the Casualty Damage Value (Section 12(c)) for Assets other than the JV1 Properties and JV2 Properties exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), the Purchase Price shall be reduced by such aggregate value and the Purchase Price reduction under this Section 13.2 shall be applied against the consideration paid for the affected Asset; provided that, with respect to the South Carolina Timberlands, the Five Million Dollar ($5,000,000) threshold shall not apply to the South Carolina Timberlands until the aggregate number of acres of South Carolina Timberlands excluded pursuant to an Environmental Carveout exceeds one thousand (1,000) acres. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price in the event that an Asset is excluded from the Assets being purchased in accordance with the last sentence of Section 35. Any Carveout for the Assets shall not be conveyed to Purchaser (or MWV-EED or JV1, as applicable) and shall be retained by Seller. Any Carveout for the JV1 Properties or the JV2 Properties shall result in (a) the corresponding JV1 Subsidiary or JV2 Subsidiary not being contributed pursuant to this Agreement (or the corresponding JV2 East Edisto Dorchester Property being transferred out of MWV-EED) and (b) a reduction in the PCL JV1 Contribution or PCL JV2 Contribution, as applicable, in an amount equal to the value of such excluded JV1 Property or JV2 Property as set forth in the JV Valuation Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, no Carveouts shall be considered in determining any Losses pursuant to Section 15.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on or before November 22, 2013, Purchaser shall have the right in its sole discretion to exclude from the Timberlands all of the Timberlands described on Exhibit 42 (“Specified West Virginia Timberlands”) as a result of Purchaser determining that there are or may be any environmental problems related to the Specified West Virginia Timberlands; it being understood that Seller shall not have the right to object to any such exclusion pursuant to Section 8(b) or otherwise. Upon such exclusion, the Purchase Price for the Timberlands shall be reduced by the aggregate value of the excluded Specific West Virginia Timberlands (calculated in accordance with Section 13.1(b)(ii)(A)); it being understood that the Five Million Dollar ($5,000,000) threshold set forth in Section 13.2(a) shall not be applicable. Each Party shall comply with the provisions of Section 13.1(c) with respect to any excluded Specified West Virginia Timberlands.

13.3 Post-Closing Payment. Within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing, Seller shall pay PCT an aggregate amount (the “Post-Closing Payment Amount”) of cash equal to (a) the sum of (i) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) plus (ii) the product of (x) Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) and (y) the number of Business Days from December 2, 2013 (exclusive) to the Closing Date (inclusive), less (b) an amount equal to (i) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) if on the Closing Date the interest rate on the Note is set at the Parties Agreed Rate or (ii) Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) if on the Closing Date the interest rate on the Note is set at the Banker Agreed Rate; provided that if the Post-Closing Payment Amount is a negative amount, PCT shall pay Seller an amount of cash equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Payment Amount. By way of example and not limitation, if the Closing Date is December 6, 2013 and the interest rate on the Note is set at the Parties Agreed Rate, the amount of the payment pursuant to this Section 13.3 shall be One Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000) ($2,000,000.00 + ($75,000.00 x 4) - $1,000,000.00).

13.4 Land Sales Adjustment. Exhibit 43 attached hereto lists all land sales from the Timberlands (including the applicable number of acres in each “Forest”) that have occurred or will occur between the date hereof and the Closing Date (such acres of Timberlands, the “Divested Timberlands”). The Purchase Price will be reduced at Closing by an amount equal to the acreage of the Divested Timberlands multiplied by the per acre value set forth on the Value Table for the applicable forest management unit or “Forest” in which the Divested Timberlands are located. Seller shall make no other land sales except for the Divested Timberlands.

14. Warranties, Representations, and Disclaimers.

(a) Except as otherwise disclosed in (x) the schedules attached hereto (“Seller’s Disclosures”) (for avoidance of doubt, each of the following representations and warranties is subject to and excepted by the disclosures made by Seller under Schedule 14 attached hereto) or (y) any report, schedule, form or other document filed with, or furnished to, the SEC by Seller prior to the date hereof and on or after the date on which Seller filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (but disregarding risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” or disclosure of risks set forth in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are similarly non-specific or cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), MWV, CDLM LLC and CDLM Inc., as the context requires, hereby warrant and represent to Purchaser, as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date (except in the case of any representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, in which case as of such specific date or time), that:

(c) PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED AT THE CLOSING: (i) NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR PROMISES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, HAVE BEEN OR ARE BEING MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER OR ANY OTHER PERSON WITH RESPECT TO THE ASSETS, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION; QUANTITY OR QUALITY OF TIMBER OR TIMBERLANDS, INCLUDING PROFITABILITY, AGE, CLASSES, SPECIES, MERCHANTABILITY, YIELDS, ACREAGE, AVAILABILITY, QUALITY OR QUALITY OF WATER, FUTURE FIBER GROWTH OR HARVEST, FUTURE FINANCIAL RESULTS FROM THE SALE OF FIBER GROWN ON THE PROPERTY OR FROM THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY; PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS OR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT; ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY, MARKETABILITY OR ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO ANY REAL PROPERTY OR PERSONAL PROPERTY, OR WITH RESPECT TO MINERAL ESTATES OR MINERAL RIGHTS OR INTERESTS OR RESERVATIONS THEREOF (AS TO WHICH NO WARRANTIES AS TO TITLE ARE MADE), MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; AND SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING MATTERS, AND (ii) IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED AND DOES NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR PROMISE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER OR ANY OTHER PERSON.

15. Indemnification.

(a) (i) All representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall survive for eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, subject to the further provisions hereof. All covenants and agreements made by any party in this Agreement shall survive until performed in full or the obligation to so perform shall have expired. No claim may be asserted nor may any action be commenced against any Indemnifying Party for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained herein, unless a Claim Notice is received by such Indemnifying Party prior to the date on which the representation or warranty on which such claim or action is based ceases to survive as set forth in this Section 15; provided, that any claim made by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 15 seeking to be indemnified within the time periods set forth in this Section 15 shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in the Deeds, the owner’s affidavit or the Access Affidavit or any other document delivered at Closing, all representations and warranties made by Seller or any Affiliates with respect to the ownership, title, or access of the Assets shall terminate as of the Closing Date with respect to all such Assets as to which Purchaser has received (A) a Title Commitment for a Title Policy that meets the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the issuance of which Title Policy is subject only to Purchaser’s payment of the premium therefor and Purchaser’s satisfaction of the Title Company’s other customary conditions to be satisfied by Purchaser, as to which Title Commitment Purchaser has not raised a Title Objection (or has raised a Title Objection which

has not been upheld pursuant to Section 35 or has been cured) or (B) a credit against the Purchase Price or a credit against the PCL JV1 Contribution or the PCL JV2 Contribution, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 15, with respect to any Loss in respect of any Asset which is or may be the subject of any Title Policy, the Indemnified Party shall first diligently pursue to resolution all rights and remedies thereunder (including applicable law) before it shall be entitled to obtain seek indemnity for such Loss under this Agreement or any Deed (which for the purposes of this Section 15 only shall include all deeds with respect to conveyances to Timberlands III, LLC, MWV-EED and JV1, and all other prior deeds in the chain of title with respect to any subject property executed by Seller or any Affiliate). In the event resolution has not, despite such diligent pursuit, been obtained at least three (3) months prior to expiration of the applicable Statute of Limitations the non-Indemnified Party shall enter into a standstill agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. All payments under any Title Policy with respect to such Loss shall reduce the amount of such Loss from the first dollar.

(b) Obligation of Seller. If the Closing occurs, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser and their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents and representatives and their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) harmless for any Loss incurred or suffered by any of them to the extent as a result of or in connection with or involving a:

(i) breach of a representation or warranty by the Seller in this Agreement, either (1) as made as of the date hereof or (2) if the Closing occurs, as hereby expressly re-made as of the Closing, including any “Closing” for an Excluded Asset, but in such event, solely with respect to, and only to the extent such representation or warranty is applicable to such Excluded Asset, (or, in the case of those representations and warranties that are made as of a particular date or period, as of such date or period); or

(ii) breach or nonperformance of any of the covenants or agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement.

(c) Obligation of Purchaser. If the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold the Seller and their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents and representatives and their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless for any Loss incurred or suffered by any of them to the extent as a result of or in connection with or involving a:

(i) breach of a representation or warranty by the Purchaser in this Agreement either (1) as made as of the date hereof or (2) if the Closing occurs, as hereby expressly re-made as of the Closing, including any “Closing” for an Excluded Asset, but in such event solely with respect to, and only to the extent such representation or warranty is applicable to such Excluded Asset, (or, in the case of those representations and warranties that are made as of a particular date or period, as of such date or period);

(ii) breach or nonperformance of any of the covenants or agreements of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; or

(iii) breach or nonperformance of any of Purchaser’s or Timberlands III, LLC’s obligations under the Timberlands Contracts, the Mineral Leases, the Kapstone FSA and the Inbound Kapstone-Supporting FSAs after the Closing, except to the extent Seller’s acts or omissions caused such breach or nonperformance.

(d) Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims.

(i) If (A) any third party institutes or asserts any proceeding that may give rise to Losses for which an Indemnifying Party may be liable for indemnification under this Section 15 (a “Third Party Claim”) or (B) any Indemnified Party shall have a claim to be indemnified by an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim” and, together with a Third Party Claim, a “Claim”), then, in each case, the Indemnified Parties shall promptly, and in any event (x) within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such Claim and (y) at all times within the survival period provided in Section 15(a), send the Indemnifying Parties a written notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such Claim, the facts and circumstances on which the asserted Claim is based, and a good faith estimate of the related actual or potential Losses (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of 15(a), the failure to notify or delay in notifying an Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 15, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced as a result thereof.

(ii) In the case of a Third Party Claim, except pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 15(d)(ii), the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right at any time upon written notice to the Indemnified Parties to conduct and control at its expense and through counsel of its own choosing the defense against such Third Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Parties elect to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, (A) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Parties and its attorneys in such defense and (B) the Indemnifying Parties will not be liable to the Indemnified Parties for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof. In any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at its own expense unless (x) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party mutually agree to the retention of such counsel, or (y) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interests between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then in all such cases of clauses (x) and (y), the Indemnifying Party shall pay, promptly as statements therefor are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees of more than one separate counsel (plus one separate local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for the Indemnified Parties. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim or cease to defend against such Third Party Claim,

if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, (A) injunctive or other equitable relief could be imposed against the Indemnified Parties (or in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, MWV-EED or any of its Subsidiaries), (B) such settlement or cessation would (or would reasonably be likely to) lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party (or in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, MWV-EED or any of its Subsidiaries) for which the Indemnified Parties are not entitled to indemnification hereunder, or (C) such settlement or cessation could include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. Provided that an Indemnified Party has given the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice of a Third Party Claim as required hereunder, unless an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any final determination with respect to such Third Party Claim prior to such assumption; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not agree to any settlement without the consent of the Indemnifying Person (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Parties by providing records and information on a timely basis that are reasonably relevant to any Third Party Claim, and shall in good faith regularly consult with counsel for the other Parties and include such counsel in relevant conferences and proceedings to the extent requested by such counsel.

(e) If, following the date hereof but prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser obtains actual knowledge of any fact, circumstance or information that would cause one or more of the representations and warranties made by Seller to be inaccurate as of the date made or as of the Closing Date, to the extent that Purchaser, upon actually determining the presence of such inaccuracy, does not, within five (5) Business Days, provide Seller with notice of such fact, circumstance or information, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not have any right or remedy after the Closing with respect to such inaccuracy and shall be deemed to have waived its rights to indemnification in respect thereof. Provided, however, that this Paragraph shall be inoperable as to any changes or updates to Seller’s Disclosures, whether or not Purchaser had actual, imputed or implied knowledge of such changes or updates.

(f) Each of the indemnification obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Section 15 is subject to the following limitations:

(i) An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 15(b)(i) or Section 15(c)(i), unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses which may be recovered from the applicable Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement equals or exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and then only for the amount of such Losses with respect to such matters in excess of such amount, up to an aggregate maximum amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price; provided that the limitations set forth in this subclause shall not apply to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(c).

(ii) The amount of any Loss shall be reduced by any amount received by the Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) with respect thereto under any third party insurance coverage (including any Title Policy) or from any other person (excluding an Affiliate of the Indemnified Party) alleged to be responsible therefore, net of any expense incurred by the Indemnified Party in collecting such amount. Any Indemnified Party that makes a claim for indemnification under this Section 15 shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, to collect any amount available under any such insurance coverage and from any such other person alleged to have responsibility. If an Indemnified Party (or an affiliate) receives an amount under insurance coverage or from such other person with respect to a Loss at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 15, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expense incurred by the Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

(g) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any document to be delivered at Closing, including the Deeds, from and after the Closing each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that its respective sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all Claims against the other Parties and their Affiliates with respect to any and all matters arising under or by reason of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 15 and shall be in lieu of any rights the Parties may have under applicable law with respect thereto, except in the case of any Loss suffered as a result of or in connection with a Party’s fraud or intentional, knowing or willful misstatement or breach. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, a Loss suffered by Party as a result of another Party’s fraud or intentional, knowing or willful misstatement or breach of a representation or warranty by Seller set forth in Section 14 shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 15(f) herein.

16. No Brokerage Commission. Other than with respect to the services of Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Goldman Sachs & Co., Seller warrants and represents to Purchaser that Seller has not incurred any liability for any brokerage fee or commission in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, and the payment of Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Goldman Sachs & Co., shall be the sole obligation of Seller. Purchaser warrants and represents to Seller that Purchaser has not incurred any liability for any brokerage fee or commission in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions. Seller and Purchaser each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other from any and all damage, loss, liability, expense and claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising with respect to any such fee or commission which may be suffered by the indemnified Party by reason of any action or agreement of the indemnifying Party. This Section 16 shall survive the termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement.

17. Employees and Benefit Plans.

17.1. Employee Offers and Related Matters.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Seller shall pay to each Transitioning Employee all accrued compensation due to them through the close of business on the Closing Date.

(b) Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to make the Timberland Employees available for interview with Purchaser at mutually agreeable times and locations; provided that Purchaser agrees that such interviews shall not interfere unreasonably with the operation of Seller’s business. In addition to those positions that Purchaser establishes to oversee the Assets, Purchaser agrees to consider Seller’s Timberland Employees for any open positions within the company, and to offer employees the same relocation benefits it would offer to any new hire of Purchaser. Purchaser shall extend written offers of employment not less than fifteen (15) days before Closing to each of the Timberland Employees it intends to hire. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees that the aggregate number of Timberland Employees to whom Purchaser shall extend offers of employment under this Section 17.1(b) shall be no less than twenty-three (23) Timberland Employees. Each offer of employment contemplated by this Section 17.1(b) shall: (i) be contingent upon such Timberland Employee’s passing Purchaser’s mandatory applicant substance abuse test and background check, (ii) be effective subject to and as of the Closing, (iii) provide for a base salary or wage no less favorable than the base salary or wage provided to such Timberland Employee immediately prior to the Closing, and (iv) provide for employee benefits that are substantially comparable to the employee benefits provided to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Those Timberland Employees who accept an offer of employment with Purchaser and who subsequently pass Purchaser’s mandatory applicant substance abuse test are referred to as “Transitioning Employees.” Those Timberland Employees who do not accept such offers of employment, or who accept such offers but who subsequently fail Purchaser’s mandatory applicant substance abuse test, are referred to as “Nontransitioning Employees.” Purchaser agrees that it will conduct all mandatory applicant substance abuse tests and background checks and determine whether any tested employees fail prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser further agrees that, during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing, each Transitioning Employee who remains employed by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries shall be provided with a base salary or wage no less favorable than the base salary or wage provided to such Timberland Employee immediately prior to Closing and employee benefits that are substantially comparable to the employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser.

(c) Effective from and after the first day after Closing, Purchaser shall assume and become solely responsible for any and all liabilities with respect to the employment or termination of employment of Transitioning Employees, including any liabilities relating to or arising in connection with any actual or constructive termination of any such Transitioning Employee’s employment by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries after the Closing. Purchaser agrees

that it will not take any action with respect to Transitioning Employees that would cause Seller to incur any liability under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended (“WARN”) or any similar applicable federal or state law or regulation. From and after the Closing, Seller shall remain solely responsible for any and all liabilities for: (i) accrued but unpaid salaries, wages, vacation or sick pay, deferred compensation or other similar payroll items arising as a result of services rendered by any Timberland Employee to Seller at any time prior to the Closing; and (ii) for any actions taken by Seller at any time prior to the Closing with respect to any Timberland Employee or with respect to any employee benefits plans sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Seller in respect of such Timberland Employee. Each Transitioning Employee will be credited with his or her years of employment service with Seller for purposes of determining eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual under the applicable employee benefit plans of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries; provided that such service shall not be credited for purposes of benefit accrual under any final average pay defined benefit pension plan or where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, during the twelve-month period following the Closing, each Transitioning Employee who suffers a termination of employment shall receive severance benefits from Purchaser or its Subsidiaries that are no less favorable than those provided to such Transitioning Employee immediately prior to the Closing, taking into account service with Seller and its Affiliates prior to the Closing and Purchaser and its Affiliates following the Closing.

(d) From and after the Closing, Seller shall remain solely responsible for any and all liabilities with respect to the Nontransitioning Employees for all claims arising under WARN, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reorganization Act, as amended (“COBRA”), disability plans sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Seller in respect of such Nontransitioning Employees, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, as amended, or retirement plans sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Seller in respect of such Nontransitioning Employees. From and after the Closing, Seller also shall remain solely responsible for: (i) disability benefits payable under any disability benefit plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Seller to those Timberland Employees who, on the Closing Date, are on long or short-term disability status and are entitled to benefits under such plans; and (ii) post-retirement health and life insurance benefits payable under the terms of any plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Seller that provides such post-retirement benefits to former employees of Seller and their eligible spouses and dependents who, on the Closing Date, are receiving such post-retirement benefits under such plan.

(e) For two (2) years after the date hereof, Seller shall not directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, recruit, offer employment to, employ (including employment as a consultant), lure or entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any Transitioning Employee or an employee of Purchaser or any Subsidiary of Purchaser to leave the employ of Purchaser unless such person’s employment has been terminated by the Purchaser or the applicable Subsidiary thereof; provided, however, that Seller and their Subsidiaries shall not be prohibited from: (i) soliciting or hiring any Transitioning Employee whose employment with Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary has been terminated at

least thirty (30) days prior to the initiation of such employment discussions; or (ii) from hiring a Transitioning Employee who responds to a public job announcement, including through a bona fide search firm (but only so long as not specifically directed at such individuals), it being agreed that any such public job announcement shall not violate the terms of this Section 17.1(e).

17.2. Retirement Plans.

(a) Pre-Closing/Post-Closing Allocation. Subject to the balance of this Section 17, Seller will retain all liability and responsibility for the disposition of interests under the Seller 401(k) Plan (“Investment Plan”) and the Seller pension plan (“Retirement Plan”) with respect to those Transitioning Employees or their beneficiaries who, as of the Closing Date, are participants in the Investment Plan or Retirement Plan, as applicable. Effective as of the Closing, Transitioning Employees shall cease to be active participants in the Investment Plan and the Retirement Plan and no Transitioning Employee will be eligible to make any contributions to the Investment Plan or accrue benefits under the Retirement Plan and Seller will not be obligated to make any contribution with respect to any such participant in the Investment Plan on or after the Closing Date.

(b) Purchaser’s Plans.

(i) Defined Benefit Retirement Plans. Purchaser agrees that, (A) effective as of the first day after the Closing Date, Transitioning Employees shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s defined benefit plan(s) on the same basis as the Purchaser’s similarly situated employees are then eligible to participate, and (B) Purchaser shall recognize under each of Purchaser’s defined benefit plans all the Transitioning Employee’s service with Seller completed prior to the Closing for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting under each such plan, but not for purposes of determining the amount of benefit accrual under the plan.

(ii) Defined Contribution Plans. Purchaser agrees that, effective as of the first day of the month after their hire, Transitioning Employees shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s existing Purchaser defined contribution plans on the same basis as Purchaser’s similarly situated employees are then eligible to participate.

17.3. Welfare Plans.

(a) Seller’s Plans. Seller shall remain solely responsible for liabilities for any claims incurred under the health insurance plans of Seller and its Affiliates by any Transitioning Employees and his or her eligible dependents through the end of the month in which the Closing occurs, and, if the Closing occurs in November 2013, Seller shall continue, through December 31, 2013, to provide health insurance under the health insurance plans of Seller and its Affiliates to the Transitioning Employees and their eligible dependents and, no later than five Business Days following receipt of a written invoice therefor, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for 102% of the December 2013 health insurance premiums corresponding to

such Transitioning Employees. From and after the Closing, Seller shall remain solely responsible for liabilities for claims of the Transitioning Employees and their eligible dependents incurred prior to the Closing under those plans that are disability, accident or life insurance plans, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all such liabilities for claims incurred by any Transitioning Employee or his or her eligible dependents after the Closing, except as noted in the immediately preceding sentence. If (i) the Closing occurs in a month other than November, 2013, then from and after the first day of the month following the month in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all liabilities for any claims incurred under the health insurance plans of Purchaser and its Affiliates incurred by any Transitioning Employee or his or her eligible dependents on or after the first day of the month following the month in which the Closing occurs. If Closing occurs in November 2013, then, from and after January 1, 2014, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all liabilities for any claims incurred under the health insurance plans of Purchaser and its Affiliates incurred by any Transitioning Employee or his or her eligible dependents on or after January 1, 2014. For the purposes of this Section 17.3, a claim for health benefits shall be deemed to have been incurred when the services that are the subject of such claim are rendered and a claim for disability, accident or life insurance shall be deemed to have been incurred when the last event giving rise to such claim occurs. This Section 17.3(a) shall not be construed to require Purchaser to provide health, disability, accident or life insurance plans that are the same or similar to plans that Seller currently provides to the Timberland Employees.

(b) Purchaser’s Plans. Effective from and after the Closing (or, in the case of health insurance plans, the first day of the month following the month in which the Closing occurs if the Closing occurs in a month other than November 2013, or if the Closing occurs in November 2013, from and after January 1, 2014), Purchaser shall cause each Transitioning Employee and his or her eligible dependents to become eligible to participate immediately in each employee welfare benefit plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries and each other benefit arrangement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser for the benefit of similarly situated employees of Purchaser (“Purchaser Health and Welfare Plans”). For purposes of each Purchaser Health and Welfare Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Transitioning Employee, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions, other than the pre-existing condition exclusion for transplants, and actively-at-work requirements of such plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents (“Seller Health and Welfare Plans”) in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Seller Health and Welfare Plans ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding Purchaser Health and Welfare Plan begins to be taken into account under such Purchaser Health and Welfare Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Purchaser Health and Welfare Plan. In

addition, provided that Seller currently provides long term disability to the Timberland Employees, Purchaser agrees to ensure that Purchaser’s Long Term Disability Plan recognizes each Transitioning Employee’s years of employment service with Seller to the extent permitted by such Long Term Disability Plan.

(c) Cooperation of Parties to Ensure Coverage. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in ensuring that welfare benefit coverage for Transitioning Employees and their eligible dependents on and prior to the Closing is coordinated with such coverage provided after the Closing.

17.4. Amendment and Modification of Plans. Except as expressly provided in Sections 17.2 and 17.3, nothing contained in this Section 17 or any other provision of this Agreement shall limit the rights of Purchaser or Seller to amend, modify or terminate from time to time or at any time any of their respective benefit plans, or confer on any third party, including, but not limited to, any Transitioning Employee, any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions herein.

17.5. Worker’s Compensation. From and after the Closing: (a) Seller shall remain solely responsible for all workers’ compensation claims of any Nontransitioning Employees and for workers’ compensation claims of any Transitioning Employees that are based on any accident that occurred or injury that was documented prior to Closing, and (b) Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all workers’ compensation claims of any Transitioning Employees that are based on any accident that occurred or injury that occurred on or after Closing.

18. Taxes; Expenses; Prorations.

(a) Ad valorem real property Taxes on the Assets and special assessments, as well as revenue, rents, royalties, prepaid royalties/minimum royalties, and deposits under the Timberlands Contracts, Mineral Leases and Kapstone FSAs to the extent such Timberlands Contracts, Mineral Leases and Kapstone FSAs affect the Assets, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, credited to Purchaser, or, with respect to those items set forth on Exhibit 46, credit to Seller, as appropriate. If actual Tax bills for the Taxable year of the Closing are not available, said Taxes shall be prorated based on Tax bills for the previous Taxable year and the Parties agree to cause a re-proration of said Taxes upon the receipt of Tax bills for the taxable year of the Closing. If any portion of the Assets is not designated by a separate Tax parcel, said Taxes shall be adjusted to an amount bearing the same relationship to the total Tax bill which the acreage contained within the applicable portion of the Assets bears to the acreage contained within the property included within said Tax bill. Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to cause all real property Taxes on the Assets to be paid (and to reimburse the appropriate Party making such payments, as applicable), to the extent subdivisions or changes of ownership are not reflected on future real property Tax bills. Any “rollback” Taxes assessed against the Assets as a result of Purchaser’s change in the use of the Assets or failure to maintain the Timberlands in any property Tax reduction program shall be paid by Purchaser within thirty (30) days of final determination thereof.

(b) Purchaser shall pay (or, to the extent required to be paid by Seller, shall promptly reimburse Seller) (i) one-half (1/2) of all costs in connection with the recording of the Deeds (other than the South Carolina deed recording fee, if any, imposed pursuant to Title 12 Section 24 of the South Carolina Code that may be applicable to the Transactions, which shall be Seller’s responsibility), (ii) one-half (1/2) of the Virginia grantee/buyer Tax imposed pursuant to Va. Code Ann. Sec. 58.1, (iii) all costs of purchasing any Title Policy and any endorsements thereto, including any coordination fees of the Title Company in connection therewith, (iv) all costs of Purchaser’s due diligence, (v) all costs of Purchaser’s legal representation, and (vi) one-half (1/2) of any other Transfer Taxes (including any Transfer Taxes imposed in respect of the transactions described in Section 4 hereof).

(c) Seller shall pay (or, to the extent required to be paid by Purchaser, shall promptly reimburse Purchaser) (i) one-half (1/2) of all costs in connection with the recording of the Deeds (other than the South Carolina deed recording fee, if any, imposed pursuant to Title 12 Section 24 of the South Carolina Code that may be applicable to the Transactions, which shall be Seller’s responsibility), (ii) all costs of searching title and producing the Title Commitments, (iii) one-half (1/2) of the Virginia grantee/buyer Tax imposed pursuant to Va. Code Ann. Sec. 58.1, (iv) one-half (1/2) of any other Transfer Taxes (including any Transfer Taxes imposed in respect of the transactions described in Section 4 hereof), (iv) all costs of the Phase I Reports (including the cost of relevant portions of previous reports that were updated to produce the Phase I Reports), (v) all costs of Seller’s legal representation, and (vi) any “rollback” Taxes that may be due on transfer of the Timberlands except those that are Purchaser’s responsibility under Section 18(a) above.

(d) Except as set forth in this Agreement, all other costs shall be borne by the Party incurring them.

19. Closing Conditions.

(a) The obligations of each of Seller and Purchaser to consummate the Transactions shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver, on or before the Closing Date, of the following condition:

(i) There shall be no injunction, restraining order or decree of any nature of any court or Governmental Authority that is in effect that restrains or prohibits the consummation of the Transactions.

(ii) In the event that a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction notifies the Parties in writing that it has determined that filings are required under the HSR Act and Rules with respect to the Transactions, (A) the Parties shall promptly (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice) submit their respective filings (including a notification and report form under the HSR Act and Rules with respect to the Transactions) in accordance with Section 9, (B) each of the Parties shall seek early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act

and (C) the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond to any request for additional information or documentary material made by any such Governmental Authority and to cause all waiting periods applicable under the HSR Act and Rules to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date and to resist in good faith, at each of their respective cost and expense (including the institution or defense of legal proceedings), any assertion that the Transactions constitute a violation of any antitrust laws, all to the end of expediting consummation of the Transactions. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall consult with the other prior to any meetings, by telephone or in person, with the staff of the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, and each of Purchaser and Seller shall have the right to have a representative present at any such meeting. In the event any waiting period applicable under the HSR Act and Rules has not expired or been terminated by the Closing Date, the Closing Date shall be five (5) days following expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and Rules, but no later than the Outside Closing Date.

(ii) Seller’s timely performance of and compliance with, in all material respects, each and every term, condition, covenant, agreement, restriction and obligation to be performed and complied with by Seller under this Agreement, including the delivery of the Seller’s Closing Documents;

(iii) Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser dated as of the Closing Date and signed by a duly authorized officer of Seller to the effect that the conditions set forth in Sections 19(b)(i) and 19(b)(ii) have been satisfied; and

(iv) Purchaser’s receipt of a binding Title Commitment from the Title Company to issue Title Policies, endorsed with forms ALTA 15 and ALTA 15.1 (Non-Imputation), as appropriate, (subject only to Purchaser’s payment of the premiums therefor and satisfaction of any Purchaser obligations under the Title Commitment) insuring (A) Purchaser’s title to the Timberlands, and (B) the appropriate title-holding entity’s title to the JV1 and JV2 Properties, in each case following the Closing, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances (and excluding in all events insurance as to the Reserved Interests, Mineral Rights, riparian and water rights or similar rights or interests in connection therewith).

20. Default; Remedies; Termination.

(a) The Parties agree that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek equitable relief including injunctive relief and specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other remedies to which they are entitled at law or equity, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. Each Party hereby waives any requirement of any posting of bond.

(b) This Agreement and the Transactions may be terminated, at any time prior to the Closing Date (the date of any such termination, the “Termination Date”), at the terminating Party’s option and, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, as its sole remedy, in the following circumstances:

(i) by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;

(ii) by Purchaser, if the Transactions have not been consummated on or before the Outside Closing Date; provided that Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 20(b)(ii) if Purchaser’s breach of any obligation, representation or warranty under this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the Transactions on or prior to such date;

(iii) by Seller, if the Transactions have not been consummated on or before Outside Closing Date; provided that Seller shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 20(b)(ii) if Seller’s breach of any obligation, representation or warranty under this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the Transactions on or prior to such date;

(v) by Seller, if Purchaser has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Purchaser has become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 19(a) or Section 19(c), as the case may be, could not be satisfied as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 20(b)(v) unless any such breach or failure to be true has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice by Seller to Purchaser informing Purchaser of such breach or failure to be true, except that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured prior to the Outside Closing Date; and, provided, further that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 20(b)(v) if Seller is then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect;

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 20, no Party shall be liable to the other Parties for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages suffered by such other Parties, including lost revenues or lost profits, whether arising in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, breach of statutory duty or otherwise, and regardless of any notice of the possibility of such damages.

21. No Solicitation. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement for any reason Seller, except as permitted under the terms of this Agreement (including Section 7(g)), shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) initiate, solicit or encourage any proposal or offer from any person (other than Purchaser or its Affiliates) relating to the sale or transfer of any Assets, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, except for the sales and dispositions expressly set forth on Schedules 12(b) or 14; (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations or enter into any agreement with any person (other than Purchaser or its Affiliates) relating to any sale or transfer of any Assets, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, except for the sales and dispositions expressly set forth on Schedules 12(b) or 14; (c) accept any proposal or offer from any person

22. Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, neither Party shall assign its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Party, given or withheld in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller or Purchaser shall have the right to assign their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement to any party controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Seller or Purchaser, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Seller or Purchaser of any liability hereunder or be reasonably likely to prevent, delay or impede Closing; provided that, without the prior consent of Seller, PCT shall not have the right to assign to any Person (including any Affiliate of PCT) its obligation hereunder to issue the Note.

23. No Waiver. Except as specifically set forth herein, no action or failure to act by any Party shall constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded to such Party under this Agreement, nor shall any such action or failure to act constitute an approval of or acquiescence in any breach of this Agreement except as may be specifically agreed in writing.

24. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including validity, construction, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflicts of law to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of (a) the state courts of the State of Delaware and (b) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware in connection with any proceeding arising out of or relating hereto or the Transactions, and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such proceeding shall be heard and determined in such state or federal court. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives (and agrees not to plead or claim) any objection to the laying of venue of any proceeding arising out of or relating hereto or the Transactions in the (A) the state courts of the State of Delaware, or (B) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The Parties hereto further agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that final and non-appealable judgment against any of them in any proceeding contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment. Each Party agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such person’s respective address set forth in Section 25 shall be effective service of process for any proceeding with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 24. To the extent that any Party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each Party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder.

25. Notice. Any and all notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be made or given in writing and shall be delivered in person or sent by postage, pre-paid, United States Mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by a recognized overnight carrier, or by facsimile or e-mail, to the other Party at the addresses set forth below, and such address as may be furnished by notice in accordance with this Section 25; provided, however, if any delivery is made by facsimile or e-mail, such delivery shall be deemed delivered only if the Party giving such notice obtains a confirmation of receipt or also delivers such notice by hand delivery, United States mail or recognized overnight carrier for next day delivery. All notices shall be deemed given and effective upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the confirmed facsimile or e-mail transmission or hand delivery of such notice to the address for notices; (ii) one Business Day after the deposit of such notice with an overnight courier service by the time deadline for next day delivery addressed to the address for notices; or (iii) three Business Days after depositing the notice in the United States mail.

Purchaser and Seller agree that the terms and conditions of the Transactions are to remain confidential, except that either Party and its Affiliates may disclose the terms and provisions of this Agreement (i) to the extent that such Party or any of its Affiliates is required by applicable law (including the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC or any stock exchange) to make public disclosure, or (ii) in any legal proceeding, including any audit, to the extent necessary to enforce any rights under this Agreement, provided that, in either case, the disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with

prior notice of such disclosure and the content thereof. No press releases or public statements concerning this Agreement or the Transactions will be made by any party without the prior written approval of all parties. This Section 34 shall survive any termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement or the Closing.

35. Dispute Resolution. If Seller asserts a Title Objection Dispute or an Environmental Objection Dispute, or if Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree as to size, configuration and other parameters of the Carveout, or any Carveout with respect to the Personal Property, the values of the Value Table, the value of a Title Objection Carveout under Section 7, the value of an Environmental Carveout under Section 8(b), the Casualty Damage Value under Section 12(b), or the value of a material adverse effect with respect to determination of a Title Objection Carveout with respect to a JV1 Property or a JV2 Property or the Personal Property (collectively, “Disputed Matter”), then either of Seller or Purchaser shall have the right to invoke the procedures of this Section 35 by delivering written notice to the other Party promptly after the event giving rise to such dispute or disagreement. Seller and Purchaser each shall appoint an independent forestry consultant (who shall be an independent appraiser with experience in commercial timberlands, minerals and forestland development property) within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of such written notice, each of which may be a consultant previously engaged by the appointing Party so long as the appointing Party or the appraiser discloses to the other Party, with such notice of appointment, all material relationships, affiliations and business dealings that such proposed forestry consultant currently has or has had during the three (3) year period prior to the date hereof with Purchaser, Seller and each of their respective Affiliates, and such two consultants will in turn select a third independent forestry consultant (subject to the same qualification and disclosure requirements) within five (5) Business Days to act with them in a panel to determine whether the Title Objection or Environmental Condition has merit, and/or the disposition of any other Disputed Matter; provided, however, if prior to the rendition of the determination by the panel, if (a) with respect to any Title Objection, the Title Company has removed any matter which is the subject of the Title Objection, and/or (b) with respect to any Environmental Condition, the Environmental Condition has been remediated to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction and the environmental consultant responsible for the Phase I which disclosed such Environmental Condition has certified as to such remediation, in any such event such Dispute shall not be subject to the review or determination of the panel. The panel shall make its determination based on the particular relevant provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Title Commitment and/or Phase I, the materials submitted by the parties hereunder and such other materials that the panel may deem to be relevant to its determination as described above. A majority of the panel of consultants will reach a binding decision within thirty (30) days following the selection of the third consultant, and the decision of the panel of consultants will be binding on the Parties and final and non-appealable. Seller and Purchaser will each bear the cost of its respective consultant and one-half (1/2) of the cost of the third consultant, and shall otherwise bear their own costs and expenses of dispute resolution. In accordance with Section 6(a), unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise the Closing shall not take place until at least ten (10) Business Days after the panel’s final determination of all Disputed Matters (other than those related to the South Carolina Timberlands) before the panel or the Outside Date, whichever is earlier. If there are any Disputed Matters which are not finally resolved at the

Closing, the Parties shall work diligently and in good faith to pursue such Disputed Matters to a final resolution as promptly as possible after the Closing, and after such resolution, the Parties shall promptly make all adjustments, payments, contributions or take such other action in good faith as is provided herein or as may be necessary to implement such resolution; provided, however, that if such disputed matter pertains to a Carveout, such Carveout, as reasonably proposed by Purchaser, shall be excluded from the Assets conveyed at Closing until such Disputed Matter is finally resolved. In the event the Disputed Matter involves an Environmental Carveout, upon resolution of the Disputed Matter in favor of Seller, Purchaser shall have the election, within five (5) Business Days, to either (a) include the Environmental Carveout in the Assets being purchased or (b) exclude the Environmental Carveout (as determined (including the configuration of the parcel) in such final resolution) from the Assets being purchased (and from the applicable Deed), but in such event the Purchase Price shall not be reduced and the value of the Environmental Carveout shall not be counted as a Loss for the purposes of Paragraph 15(f)(i); provided that, in the event Purchaser fails to make the election within said five (5) Business Days, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected subclause (b).

36. Business Days. If any date set forth in this Agreement for the performance of any obligation by any Party, or for the delivery of any instrument or notice as herein provided, should occur on a non-Business Day, the compliance with such obligation or delivery shall be deemed acceptable on the next Business Day.

37. Tax Allocation. The Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code among the Timberlands, minerals, Timberlands Contracts, and the Personal Property using the methodology mutually approved by Seller and Purchaser in the manner set forth in this Section 37, provided that such allocation methodology shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with (a) the allocation set forth in Section 2.1, (b) the Value Table (other than the per acre values set forth therein) and (c) Exhibit 48 (the “Allocation Framework”). No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an allocation of the Purchase Price among the Timberlands, minerals, Timberlands Contracts, and Personal Property, which allocation shall be reasonable, based on fair market values, consistent with the Code, shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with the Allocation Framework and to the extent relating to the portion of the Purchase Price paid for the Timberlands, set forth an allocation between the Installment Sale Timberlands and the Non-Installment Sale Timberlands (the “Proposed Allocation”). No later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall endeavor to agree on the Proposed Allocation. In the event that Seller and Purchaser have not so agreed by such date Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If Purchaser and Seller fail to agree on such allocation before the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days following the Closing Date, such allocation shall be determined, within a reasonable time and in a manner that incorporates, reflects and is consistent with the Allocation Framework, by an independent, nationally recognized firm of accountants mutually selected by the Parties. The allocation of the total consideration, as agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller or determined by a firm of accountants under this Section 37, (the “Final Allocation”) shall be final and binding upon the Parties. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall bear all fees and costs incurred by it in connection with the

determination of the allocation of the total consideration, except that the Parties shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of such accounting firm. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, (a) Seller and Purchaser agree to prepare and file an IRS Form 8594 for or such other form or statement as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation, and any comparable state or local income Tax form, in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation, (b) Seller and Purchaser shall adhere to the Final Allocation for all Tax-related purposes including any federal, foreign, state, county or local income and franchise Tax Return filed by them after the Closing Date, including the determination by Seller of Taxable gain or loss on the sale and the determination by Purchaser of its Tax basis with respect to same, and (c) neither Purchaser nor Seller shall file any Tax Return or, in a judicial or administrative proceeding, assert or maintain any Tax reporting position that is inconsistent with this Agreement or the Final Allocation agreed to in accordance with this Agreement.

38. Interpretation. Seller and Purchaser have reviewed this Agreement and each party has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel with respect to the terms hereof and has done so to the extent that such party desired. No stricter construction or interpretation of the terms hereof shall be applied against either party as the drafter hereof. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” All references to “$” shall mean U.S. dollars.

39. Third Party Rights. Except as expressly provided for herein, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any Person that is not a Party or the successor or permitted assignee of a Party.

40. Consents; Releases.

(a) Seller and Purchaser agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the applicable counterparties under the Timberlands Contracts and the Mineral Leases any required consents to such assignment or transfer to Timberlands III, LLC or Purchaser, as applicable, on or before the Closing Date; provided that neither Seller, Purchaser nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain such authorizations, approvals, consents, negative clearances or waivers; and provided, further, that neither Seller, Purchaser nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to incur any monetary obligations or expenditures to the parties whose consent is requested in connection with the utilization of its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consents.

(b) If any consent contemplated by Section 40(a) is not obtained as of the Closing notwithstanding the Parties’ use of commercially reasonable efforts as required thereunder, (i) Seller or its applicable Affiliate shall continue to be bound by such arrangement and, unless not permitted by the terms thereof or by law, Purchaser shall, as agent or subcontractor for Seller or such applicable Affiliate, as applicable, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations under the applicable Timberlands Contract or Mineral Lease that

Purchaser would have been responsible for if such Timberlands Contract or Mineral Lease would have been assigned to Timberlands III, LLC or Purchaser, as applicable, as of the Closing, and (ii) Seller and each of its applicable Affiliates, without further consideration, shall pay and remit to Purchaser, promptly all money, rights and other consideration received by it in respect of Purchaser’s performance as agent or subcontractor for Seller or its applicable Subsidiary.

(c) If any consent contemplated by Section 40(a) is not obtained as of the Closing notwithstanding the Parties’ use of commercially reasonable efforts as required hereunder, the Parties shall continue for up to one (1) year after the Closing to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the related consents that could not be obtained prior to the Closing, and, if such a consent is obtained, Seller shall assign to Timberlands III, LLC or Purchaser, as applicable, and Timberlands III, LLC or Purchaser, as applicable, shall assume, the applicable Timberlands Contract or Mineral Lease pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Each of Seller and Purchaser, at the request of the other Party, from the date hereof through the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing, shall reasonably cooperate with the requesting Party’s efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, in writing the unconditional release of Seller and its applicable Subsidiaries that are parties to any Timberlands Contracts, so that, from and after the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for any liabilities or obligations under the Timberlands Contracts that Timberlands III, LLC or Purchaser, as applicable, has assumed pursuant this Agreement; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Purchaser (nor any of their respective Subsidiaries) shall be obligated to pay any consideration or grant any concession or agree to any material amendment to any such Timberlands Contracts in order to obtain any such release. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the requesting Party shall pay all reasonable out of pocket costs by the Purchaser, and all costs of Seller, incurred in obtaining any such release, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees.

41. Further Assurances. From time to time following the Closing Date, as and when requested by any Party hereto and at such Party’s expense, any other Party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that none of the foregoing shall expand or increase or diminish or decrease any representations, warranties or other liabilities of the requested Party expressly provided under this Agreement, nor further decrease or increase any limitations, restrictions or disclaimers for the benefit of the requested Party, as expressly provided under this Agreement.

42. Post-Closing Deeds. The Parties acknowledge that certain title clean-up efforts and activities may be necessary after consummation of the Transactions to correct, supplement, and provide missing or incomplete legal descriptions in the Deeds. The Parties agree as follows:

42.1. New Legal Descriptions. Purchaser will have a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing (the “Clean-Up Period”) within which to:

(a) Identify (i) scriveners’ errors in the legal descriptions which were attached to the Deeds delivered by Seller at the Closing, (ii) circumstances where such legal descriptions contain text previously determined to be illegible (but now the Purchaser has access to a legible version), or (iii) circumstances where legal descriptions could not be tied to any currently existing boundaries or natural features (but now Purchaser has access to a legal that can be tied to existing boundaries or natural features), and draft corrected legal descriptions and prepare quitclaim deeds for execution by the appropriate Seller.

(b) Locate surveys and/or plats (provided such surveys and/or plats were prepared by a licensed surveyor in accordance with applicable ALTA/ACSM standards for land surveys or are otherwise mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller), or prepare new surveys (provided such new surveys are prepared by a licensed surveyor in accordance with the applicable ALTA/ACSM standards for land surveys and are certified to the appropriate Seller), which more clearly describe and/or delineate portions of Timberlands conveyed or intended to be conveyed (depicted within those certain GIS shape files made available to Purchaser on October 22, 2013 and identified as “AL-GA Timberland Shapefile Acres 2013-10-17.pdf”, “SC Timberland Shapefile Acres 2013-10-22.pdf”, “VA Timberland Shapefile Acres 2013-10-17.pdf” and “WV Timberland Shapefile Acres 2013-10-22.pdf” on Exhibit 22) and attached hereto by the Deeds, prepare legal descriptions based on such plats or surveys and prepare quitclaim deeds for execution by the appropriate Seller; and

(c) Prepare legal descriptions which describe portions of the Timberlands depicted on the GIS shape files described in Section 42.1(b) as to which no legal description was included within any Deed, and quitclaim deeds for execution by the appropriate Seller.

42.2. Instruments of Conveyance. Seller agrees promptly to execute and deliver to Purchaser all of the deeds contemplated by Section 42.1, subject to Seller’s reasonable review and approval of the form of the deeds and the legal descriptions attached to such deeds (and at Seller’s request, Purchaser agrees to provide all surveys, legal descriptions and other title property materials in Purchaser’s possession if Seller wishes to review the same). If a dispute arises with respect to either the right of Purchaser to request any such deed, the form of any proposed deed or the accuracy of any proposed legal description, then such dispute will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 35 herein. For the avoidance of doubt, all deeds shall be quitclaim deeds given without additional consideration and without warranty or representation of any kind by Seller.

42.3. Recordation Fees and Transfer Taxes and All Other Expenses. Purchaser will be solely responsible for preparation and recording of all of the deeds contemplated by Section 42.1 following delivery by Seller. The Purchaser and Seller will each pay one-half of all Transfer Taxes (if any) which may be payable in connection with the recordation of such deeds, it being acknowledged and agreed that all deeds shall be given without additional consideration.

42.4. Further Cooperation. Each Party agrees to reasonably cooperate in good faith with the other Parties to facilitate the investigation and research which may be reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation and execution of the legal descriptions contemplated by Section 43.1 hereof, which cooperation will include, without limitation, making then-current employees of such Party with relevant knowledge and/or experience reasonably available and to provide the other Parties with access to such Party’s relevant records supporting documentation and files, to the extent then in such Parties’ possession, to the extent related to the subject matter of this Section 42. Except for sharing of Transfer Taxes (if any) as provided in Section 42.3, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with Sections 42.1 and 42.2 and this Section 42.4 (other than Seller’s costs incurred in the review of any requested title materials and the quitclaim deeds), and shall promptly reimburse Seller for all copying costs and other expenses incurred by Seller in Purchaser’s review of Seller’s records.

42.5. Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the provisions of this Section 42 shall modify, waive or otherwise affect (a)the closing of any of the Transactions, or (b) any of the provisions of Section 7, including without limitation any waiver of any Purchaser’s Title Objections or any Disputed Matters resolved pursuant to Section 35, and Purchaser shall not have the right to make any claim under or with respect to any of the Deeds based on any matters referred to or contemplated in this Section 42, including the quitclaim deeds.

43. Guaranty.

(a) PC Parent, as primary obligor and not merely a surety, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the following payment obligations of the Purchaser arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”):

(i) The obligation to pay the Purchase Price at Closing;

(ii) The indemnification obligations, including for breaches of representations and warranties contained in Section 14(b), and for Losses suffered as a result of or in connection any Purchaser’s fraud or knowing, willful or intentional misstatements or breaches;

(iii) The payment of taxes, expenses and prorations pursuant to Section 18; and

(iv) PCL’s obligation to make the capital contributions to MWV-EED pursuant to Sections 6(c)(viii) and (ix).

(b) PC Parent hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance of the guaranty set forth in this Section 43 (the “Guaranty”) and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of any Guaranteed Obligations incurred, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, and all suretyship defenses. The liability of PC Parent hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the release or discharge of the Purchaser in any creditors’, receivership, bankruptcy, or other proceedings, (ii) the impairment, limitation, or modification of the liability of the Purchaser in bankruptcy, (iii) any disability or other defense of the Purchaser, (iv) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the Purchaser, (v) the existence of any claim, set off or other right that PC Parent may have at any time against MWV, CDLM LLC or CDLM Inc., whether in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation or otherwise, (vi) the failure or delay on the part of MWV to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Purchaser; (vii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement; (viii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of PC Parent or the Purchaser; or (ix) the adequacy of any other means MWV may have of obtaining payment related to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, PC Parent hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by MWV. MWV shall not have any obligation first to exhaust or pursue its remedies against the Purchaser before having the right to proceed against PC Parent hereunder.

(c) The Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and not of collectability. The Guaranty is a continuing one and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment and satisfaction in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. If at any time payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned by Seller upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of PC Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, PC Parent’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated upon such restoration or return being made by Seller, all as though such payment had not been made. PC Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Transactions. Subject to the restrictions on assignment in Section 43(d) the Guaranty shall bind and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties’ respective successors and assigns.

(d) PC Parent may not assign any right or delegate any obligation under this Section 43 without the express prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that assignment or delegation by PC Parent to one or more of its controlled affiliates is permissible, so long as PC Parent remains obligated under the Guaranty to Seller. For purposes of this Section 43(d), an entity is a “controlled affiliate” of PC Parent if PC Parent owns, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of, or other ownership interest in, such entity. The foregoing notwithstanding, PC Parent shall cause any entity that merges or consolidates with or into PC Parent, or that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of PC Parent, to assume all liabilities and obligations of PC Parent under the Guaranty.

(e) The Guaranty may not be changed, modified, discharged or terminated in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Seller. Any waiver by Seller, or the giving of any consent or the granting of any indulgences or extensions of time to the Purchaser, to all of which PC Parent hereby consents, may be done without notice to PC Parent and without releasing the obligations of PC Parent hereunder.

(f) Without limiting the foregoing, PC Parent shall not have the right hereunder to, and waives and relinquishes any right which it might otherwise have, to offset or credit against any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount of any Losses or any other obligation, claim, payment or other liability of Seller or any Affiliates to Purchaser under this Agreement or otherwise.

(i) Throughout the course of a Fiscal Year and at such times specified by the Managing Member pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(ii), the Class A Members may be requested to make Additional Capital Contributions with respect to a JV1 Project (“Additional Class A Capital Contributions”) in cash to the Company and such Additional Class A Capital Contributions shall be in accordance with their Class A Percentage Interests; provided that the Class A Members shall be required to make all Additional Class A Capital Contributions requested by the Managing Member with respect to Company Administrative Expenses pursuant to Section 4.5(c) in accordance with their respective Class A Percentage Interests.

-20-

(ii) In the event the Managing Member determines to request that the Class A Members make an Additional Capital Contribution to the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(i), the Managing Member shall issue a notice to all of the Class A Members setting forth the amount of the Additional Capital Contribution requested from each Class A Member (the “Class A Requested Amount”). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that all Additional Capital Contributions received by the Company from a Class A Member pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall be allocated solely to the business and operations of JV1.

(i) Throughout the course of a Fiscal Year and at such times specified by the Managing Member pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(ii), the Class B Members shall make Additional Capital Contributions with respect to an approved JV2 Project or with respect to forestry operations related to the JV2 Assets (“Additional Class B Capital Contributions”) in cash to the Company to the extent such Capital Contributions (A) constitute Plan Designated Project Contributions and do not result in any Performance Threshold not being met, (B) do not exceed the total expenses set forth in Exhibit A-3 with respect to the corresponding Fiscal Year or (C) were previously approved by the JV2 Board pursuant to Section 4.8(c), and such Additional Capital Contributions shall be in accordance with their respective Class B Percentage Interests (in each case, a “Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital Contribution”).

(ii) In the event the Class B Members are required to make an Additional Capital Contribution that qualifies as a Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital Contribution to the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(i), the Managing Member shall issue a notice to all of the Class B Members (the “Class B Contribution Notice”) setting forth the amount of the Additional Capital Contribution required from each Class B Member (the “Class B Requested Amount”). Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of the delivery of a Class B Contribution Notice (the “Class B Contribution Deadline”), each Class B Member shall pay to the Company the Class B Member’s Class B Requested Amount in cash; provided, however, with respect to any particular Fiscal Year, unless otherwise expressly set forth in the applicable JV2 Annual Plan or as otherwise agreed to by the Class B Members, (A) on or before January 2 of the applicable calendar year, the Class B Requested Amounts shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital Contribution and (B) on or before July 1 of the applicable calendar year, the Class B Requested Amounts shall not exceed the remaining portion of the Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital Contribution that had not been previously requested by the Managing Member pursuant to subclause (A).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that during a Fiscal Year the Managing Member requests that a Class B Member make an Additional Capital Contribution that does not qualify as a Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital Contribution (a “Non-Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital Contribution”), such Class B Member, in its sole discretion, may, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, elect to make all or a portion of the Non-Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital Contribution. If the Class B Member elects to make all or a portion of the Non-Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital Contribution, the contributing Class B Member’s Percentage Interests with respect to the Class B Subordinated Preferred Membership Interests shall be adjusted to equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of the Non-Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital

-21-

Contribution made by the Class B Member and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all Non-Pre-Approved Class B Additional Capital Contributions made by any Class B Member.

(iv) To the extent the Managing Member reasonably determines that it is in the best interests of a particular JV2 Project to accelerate certain expenditures with respect to the applicable JV2 Project to the Calendar Year immediately preceding the Calendar Year in which the expenditures were originally contemplated under the applicable JV2 Strategic Plan then in effect, subject to the limitations set forth in the last sentence of this Section 3.2(c)(iv), the Managing Member may give notice (“Accelerated Expense Notice”) to the Class B Members specifying (A) the amount of such capital expenditures (the “Accelerated Expense”), (B) the reasons for the determination of the Managing Member to so accelerate such expenditures, and (C) a reasonable description of the Accelerated Expense including designation of the line item in the JV2 Strategic Plan to which the Accelerated Expense relates. The parties acknowledge and agree that Accelerated Expense Notices are intended to accommodate expenses occurring in advance of projections as a result of accelerated sales velocity or accelerated entitlement activities and are not intended to apply to real estate taxes or other periodic expenses tied to a particular Calendar Year. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 3.2(c)(iv) to the contrary, the Managing Member may give an Accelerated Expense Notice only once with respect to any JV2 Project (which notice must be given on or before November 1 of the current Calendar Year) with Accelerated Expenses set forth in such Accelerated Expense Notice not to exceed one hundred percent (100%) of (x) the applicable line item or line items of Total Expenses for said JV2 Project for the originally budgeted Calendar Year, and (y) the Total Expenses for said JV2 Project for the originally budgeted Calendar Year.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that all Additional Capital Contributions received by the Company from a Class B Member pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be allocated solely to the prospective business and operations of the JV2 Assets.

(d) Failure to Make Capital Contributions by a Class A Member.

(i) In the event that any Class A Member elects not to contribute the Class A Member’s Requested Amount under Section 3.2(b) (a “Non-Contributing Class A Member”), then as its and the Company’s exclusive remedy (other than with respect to Requested Amounts that relate to Company Administrative Expenses pursuant to Section 4.5(c)), the other Class A Member (the “Contributing Class A Member”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make a Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to all or a portion of the Additional Class A Capital Contribution which the Non-Contributing Class A Member elected not to make (the “Class A Covering Contribution”), and to cause dilution of the Non-Contributing Class A Member’s Membership Interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(d)(ii). Such right shall be exercised by written notice to the Non-Contributing Class A Member of the amount being contributed by the Contributing Class A Member.

(ii) If, with respect to any Additional Class A Capital Contribution with respect to a JV1 Project, there is a Non-Contributing Class A Member, then the Percentage Interests of the Class A Members shall be adjusted such that the Class A Percentage Interests of the Contributing Class A Member shall be increased to equal a fraction, the numerator of which

-22-

is the aggregate Class A Capital Contributions of the Contributing Class A Member (including the Additional Class A Capital Contribution) and the denominator of which is the aggregate Class A Capital Contribution of all Class A Members (and the Non-Contributing Class A Member’s Class A Percentage Interests shall be reduced accordingly). If the Contributing Class A Member elects to make the Class A Covering Contribution, the Class A Percentage Interests of the Contributing Class A Member shall be further increased to equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Class A Capital Contributions of the Contributing Class A Member (including the Class A Covering Contribution) and the denominator of which is the aggregate Class A Capital Contributions of all Class A Members (and the Non-Contributing Class A Member’s Class A Percentage Interests shall be reduced accordingly).

(iii) The Capital Contributions and Class A Percentage Interests set forth next to each Class A Member’s name on Exhibit A shall be updated to reflect any Additional Capital Contributions or Class A Covering Contributions made pursuant to this Section 3.2(d).

(e) Failure to Make Capital Contributions by a Class B Member.

(i) In the event that any Class B Member shall fail to contribute the Member’s Requested Amount under Section 3.2(c)(ii) as of the applicable Class B Contribution Deadline (a “Non-Contributing Class B Member”), then, as to each such default, the other Class B Member (the “Contributing Class B Member”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to (x) make a Capital Contribution (the “Class B Default Contribution”) to the Company in an amount equal to all or a portion of the Additional Capital Contribution that the Non-Contributing Class B Member failed to make (the “Class B Deficiency Amount”) in exchange for Class B Senior Preferred Membership Interests in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(c)(iii), or (y) advance directly to the Company the Class B Deficiency Amount as a loan to the Company as provided in Section 3.2(e)(iii). Such right shall be exercised by written notice to the Non-Contributing Class B Member of the amount being contributed by the Contributing Class B Member.

(ii) If, with respect to any Additional Capital Contribution, there is a Non-Contributing Class B Member after the expiration of the applicable Class B Contribution Deadline, then the Class B Percentage Interests of the Class B Members shall be adjusted, effective as of the expiration of said Class B Contribution Deadline, such that the Class B Percentage Interests of the Contributing Class B Member shall be increased to equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Class B Capital Contributions of the Contributing Class B Member (including the Additional Class B Capital Contribution, but excluding any Additional Class B Capital Contributions for which a Class B Member received Class B Senior Preferred Membership Interests or Class B Subordinated Membership Interests) and the denominator of which is the aggregate Class B Capital Contribution of all Class B Members (excluding any Additional Class B Capital Contributions for which a Class B Member received Class B Senior Preferred Membership Interests or Class B Subordinated Preferred Membership Interests), and the Non-Contributing Class B Member’s Percentage Interests shall be reduced accordingly).

(iii) If the Contributing Class B Member elects to make a loan to the Company, the Class B Senior Preferred Amount so advanced shall be directly advanced to the

-23-

Company as a loan (a “Class B Deficit Loan”) due and payable upon demand and bearing interest at the rate equal to eight (8) percentage points above the rate of interest publicly announced by [—] from time to time as its “Prime Rate” of interest (the “Prime Rate”).

At the Annual Planning Meeting, with respect to each JV2 Annual Plan, the JV2 Board may either (x) approve the Proposed JV2 Annual Plan or (y) approve an alternative JV2 Annual Plan that incorporates proposed modifications and amendments (an “Alternative JV2 Annual Plan”); provided that approval of a Proposed JV2 Annual Plan or an Alternative JV2 Annual Plan shall require approval by at least a majority of all JV2 Directors present at a duly convened meeting and entitled to vote thereon, with each JV2 Director having one (1) vote and with at least one (1) Plum JV2 Director voting in favor of the approval of such action.

The parties acknowledge and agree that (x) Carryover Revenues, if any, shall be taken into account when determining whether a JV2 Project met any revenue-related Performance Thresholds during the current Calendar Year, and (y) Accelerated Expenses, if any, and Carryover Expenses, if any, shall be taken into account when determining whether a JV2 Project met any expense-related Performance Thresholds during the current Calendar Year.

(iii) The parties acknowledge and agree that to the extent (x) the actual performance of a JV2 Project did not meet one or more of the Performance Thresholds, or (y) the JV2 Board has approved an Alternative JV2 Annual Plan, then, in each such case, the JV2 Strategic Plan then in effect for the applicable JV2 Project shall no longer be in effect and MWV and Plum shall engage in good faith negotiations in accordance with Section 14.2(c) with respect to the approval of a new JV2 Strategic Plan (an “Alternative JV2 Strategic Plan”) that, upon such approval, shall replace the previous JV2 Strategic Plan with respect to the applicable JV2 Project; provided that if MWV and Plum are not able to so agree upon and mutually approve a new JV2 Strategic Plan within the Internal Discussion Timeframes in their respective sole discretion, then either MWV or Plum may initiate, or cause the initiation of, the buy/sell procedure set forth in Section 14.1 solely with respect to the applicable JV2 Project, it being understood that the initiation of the buy/sell procedures set forth in Section 14.1 is not subject to and does not require the Arbitration process set forth in Section 14.2(d).

(iv) The parties acknowledge and agree that, at all times during the course of the planning process set forth in this Section 4.8(b), the JV2 Directors shall discuss with each other and with the Managing Member (and the Managing Member and each JV2 Director shall consider in good faith) any modifications proposed by any JV2 Director with respect to any of the Proposed JV2 Annual Plans, including those based on the existing or projected conditions (economic, real estate or otherwise) in the markets in which JV2 operates, or the actual or projected results for JV2’s operations; provided, however, that the determination of any JV2 Director to approve any such proposed modification shall be in the sole discretion of such JV2 Director.

(i) Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).

-43-

(ii) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).

This Section 7.2(a)(ii) is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith;

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions as described in subparagraphs (4), (5) or (6) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), such Member shall be allocated items of Company income or gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.2(a)(iii) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 7 have been tentatively made as if this Section 7.2(a)(iii) were not in this Agreement. This Section 7.2(a)(iii) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith;

(iv) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount such Member is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (2) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.2(a)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 8 have been tentatively made as if Section 7.2(a)(iii) and this Section 7.2(a)(iv) were not in this Agreement;

(v) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes of any JV1 Asset or JV2 Asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s Membership Interest, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Member to whom such distribution was made in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies;

-44-

(vi) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests;

(vii) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions relate in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i); and

(viii) Loss Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, allocations of Losses or items of expense or deductions pursuant to Section 7.1 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit). In the event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits (or an increase in any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit) as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 7.1, the limitation set forth in this Section 7.2(a)(viii) shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis and Losses not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the positive balances in such other Members’ respective Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Member under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(b) Unwind of Special Allocations. Allocations provided for above in Section 7.2(a) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to cause allocations of Company items to be respected under Treasury Regulations, but may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate Profit and Loss or make Company distributions. Accordingly, subject to the Regulatory Allocations, the Company is directed to reallocate items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit among the Members so as to offset and eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations as quickly as possible consistently with Treasury Regulations, and cause the respective Capital Account balances of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Profit and Loss and items thereof had been allocated without regard to the Regulatory Allocations.

Section 7.3 Tax Allocations.

(a) In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, (i) each item of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its initial Book Value using the method specified in Exhibit D or to the extent not covered by Exhibit D, the method selected by the Managing Member with the approval of the Members; and (ii) in the event the Book Value of any JV1 Asset or JV2 Asset is adjusted pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Book Value,”

-45-

subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value using the method set forth in Exhibit D or to the extent not covered by Exhibit D, the method selected by the Managing Member with the approval of the Members.

(b) the sale, exchange or other disposition or distribution of all or substantially all of the JV1 Assets and JV2 Assets;

(c) upon the written election of a Member made within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to the other Member; or

Section 9.4 Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidating Trustee shall immediately commence to wind up the Company’s affairs; provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the normal losses attendant upon a liquidation. The Members shall continue to share Profits and Losses during liquidation in the same proportions, as specified in Article 7, as before liquidation. Each Member shall pay to the Company all amounts then owing by such Person to the Company. The proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed, as realized, in the following order and priority:

(a) First, to the payment of the expenses of liquidation;

(b) Second, to the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidating Trustee reasonably determines to be necessary or desirable for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities, expenses or other obligations of the Company;

(d) Fourth, to the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company owed to any Members; and

(e) Fifth, to the Members who have positive Aggregate Capital Account balances, after taking into account adjustments for all distributions of JV1 Distributable Cash and JV2 Distributable Cash (but not for distributions pursuant to this Section 9.4(e)) and all allocations of Profits and Losses for the Company’s taxable year during which liquidation occurs, in an amount sufficient to satisfy such adjusted Aggregate Capital Account balances; provided that, solely for purposes of this Section 9.4(e), CDLM’s Capital Account with respect to its Class A Membership Interests shall reflect any necessary adjustments made pursuant to Section 8.1(h)(ii).

-50-

Unless otherwise directed by both of the Members, the JV1 Assets and the JV2 Assets shall be sold and, in connection with such sale, the Liquidating Trustee shall arrange for such JV1 Assets and JV2 Assets to be sold as promptly as possible; provided that such sale is conducted in a business-like and commercially reasonable manner.

(b) For purposes of making the liquidating distributions required by Section 9.4, the Liquidating Trustee shall sell all of the JV1 Assets and JV2 Assets and distribute the proceeds therefrom. With the prior written consent of all Members, the JV1 Assets and the JV2 Assets may be distributed in kind to the Members, in which case (i) the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted to reflect the amount, if any, of unrealized gain or loss with respect to such JV1 Assets and JV2 Assets, as though such JV1 Assets and JV2 Assets had been sold for their fair market value (determined in good faith jointly by the Members) and any gain or loss allocated among the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) such JV1 Assets and JV2 Assets shall be distributed in such a manner that each Member will receive such Member’s proportionate interest in such assets available for such distribution; that is to say, each Member shall receive an interest, corresponding to the proportion to which such Member is entitled pursuant to Section 9.4, in real estate and leaseholds and other properties, as nearly as practicable, and in connection therewith the Liquidating Trustee shall avoid, to the maximum extent possible, the distribution of undivided interests in the same asset among the Members.

Section 9.7 Claims of the Members. Except as otherwise permitted herein, the Members shall look solely to the JV1 Assets and the JV2 Assets for the return of their Capital Contributions and Capital Account balances; provided that the Class A Members shall look solely to the JV1 Assets and the Class B Members shall look solely to the JV2 Assets, and if the JV1 Assets and the JV2 Assets remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions or Capital Account balances, then subject to the provisions of Section 18-607 of the Act, the Members shall have no recourse against the Company, the JV2 Project Subsidiaries, JV1, any Subsidiary of JV1, the JV1 Board, the JV2 Board, any individual JV1 Director, any individual JV2 Director, the Managing Member or other Member or any other Person. No Member with a negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Company or to the other Members or to any creditor or other Person to restore such negative balance upon dissolution or termination of the Company or otherwise.

(iii) If the Members are unable through negotiation to resolve a dispute that relates to any Requested Election or to a change of a policy, method, election or other determination set forth on Exhibit D, and in each case such dispute does not involve an issue related to the proper interpretation of applicable law, such dispute shall be resolved by an

The Class A Members shall take such other necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation or such Class A Sale reasonably requested by the CDLM Class A Selling Parties or the Company.

(i) If CDLM and/or one or more of its Affiliates (the “Transferring Class A CDLM Members”) proposes to Transfer (other than to an Affiliate of CDLM), pursuant to a bona fide binding written commitment from a third party (a “Proposed Class A Transferee”) all of its Class A Membership Interests, then the Transferring Class A CDLM Members shall provide promptly (but in any event no later than thirty (30) days prior to such proposed Transfer)

The Non-Initiating Class A Members shall have the right to Transfer all of their respective Class A Membership Interests to the Proposed Class A Transferee on the same terms, purchase price and conditions as the Transferring Class A CDLM Members (the “Class A Tag-Along Right”); provided that, in the event a Non-Initiating Class A Member elects to exercise its Class A Tag-Along Right, the Non-Initiating Class A Member must respond in writing within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Class A Tag-Along Notice from the Transferring Class A CDLM Members, which written response shall include an irrevocable commitment to Transfer as promptly as practicable all of its Class A Membership Interests on the same terms, purchase price and conditions as the Transferring Class A CDLM Members, as set forth in such Class A Tag-Along Notice. The irrevocable commitment to Transfer such Class A Membership Interests will be conditioned upon the absence of any injunction, order, law, regulation or similar matter that prohibits the consummation of such Transfer and the receipt of all regulatory or governmental approvals that shall be required for the applicable Class A Member to Transfer such Class A Membership Interests.

(ii) A sale to a Proposed Class A Transferee pursuant to this Section 11.1(c) shall only be consummated if the Proposed Class A Transferee shall purchase, within sixty (60) days of the date of the Class A Tag-Along Notice, concurrently with and on the same terms and conditions and at the same price as the Transferring Class A CDLM Members’ Class A Membership Interests, all of each of the Transferring Class A CDLM Members’ and the Non-Initiating Class A Members’ Class A Membership Interests with respect to such sale. The Non-Initiating Class A Members electing to Transfer their respective Class A Membership Interests agree to cooperate in consummating such a Transfer, including, by becoming a party to the sales agreement and all other appropriate related agreements, delivering, at the consummation of such Transfer, certificates and other instruments for such Class A Membership Interests (if any) duly endorsed for transfer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, and voting or consenting in favor of such transaction (to the extent a vote or consent is required) and taking any other necessary or appropriate action in furtherance thereof, including the execution and delivery of any other appropriate agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents.

(iii) Notwithstanding any election or participation by the Non-Initiating Class A Members hereunder, the Transferring Class A CDLM Members shall at all times have exclusive authority, in its sole discretion, to control, or to abandon, the Transfer process, and shall have no liability to the Non-Initiating Class A Members of any kind in the event that a proposed Transfer is abandoned or produces a smaller amount of net proceeds than anticipated.

Section 11.2 Transfer of Class B Membership Interests.

(a) Restriction on Transfer by Class B Members. At no time shall any Class B Member Transfer or offer to Transfer all or any portion of its Class B Membership Interests at any time prior to the seventh (7th) anniversary of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time, upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Company and the other Class B Members, a Class B Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Class B Membership Interests to (i) a non-Affiliated, existing Class B Member or an Affiliate thereof, (ii) a wholly-owned Affiliate of such Class B Member, (iii) a non-wholly-owned Affiliate of such

-57-

Class B Member so long as the transferring Class B Member retains both management and voting control of said Affiliate, or (iv) any successor entity of such Class B Member (each, a “Permitted Class B Transferee”); provided, however, that, with respect to Transfers under subsections (ii), (iii) and (iv), the transferring Class B Member shall nonetheless remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder. From and after the removal of CDLM as Managing Member pursuant to Section 4.6(a) or Section 4.6(c), Plum shall have the right to Transfer all of its Class B Membership Interests to a third party in a single arm’s length transaction and in connection therewith may exercise the Class B Drag-Along Rights described in Section 11.2(b).

(b) Class B Drag-Along Rights.

(i) If at any time following the removal of CDLM as Managing Member pursuant to the Section 4.6(a) or Section 4.6(c), Plum and/or one or more of its Affiliates (the “Plum Class B Selling Parties”) receives an offer that the Plum Class B Selling Parties desire to accept (a “Class B Offer”) from a third party to purchase, in a single arm’s length transaction (the “Class B Sale”), all of the outstanding Class B Membership Interests of Plum Selling Parties, then the Plum Class B Selling Parties shall have the right to require the other Class B Members to sell all (but not less than all) of their Class B Membership Interests in such transaction, on the same terms and conditions, and for the same consideration, as set forth in such Class B Offer (the “Class B Drag-Along Right”). The Plum Class B Selling Parties may exercise the Class B Drag-Along Right by giving each other Class B Member written notice (the “Class B Drag-Along Notice”) of any such Class B Offer and of the Plum Class B Selling Parties’ intention to exercise the Class B Drag-Along Right, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such transaction shall be consummated, including the terms and conditions thereof, and each shall have the obligation to sell its outstanding Class B Membership Interests in accordance with the instruction set forth in the Class B Drag-Along Notice.

(ii) Following receipt of a duly delivered Class B Drag-Along Notice, each such Class B Member shall vote for, consent to and raise no objections to, nor bring a claim against any of Plum, the Company or its Affiliates, or contest or seek to enjoin the Class B Sale, or seek appraisal, dissenter or other such similar rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if such Class B Sale is structured as: (x) a merger or consolidation, each other Class B Member shall waive any dissenter rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation; or (y) a sale of Class B Membership Interests, each other Class B Member shall (A) agree to sell its outstanding Class B Membership Interests on the terms and conditions of a Class B Sale approved by Plum and for the same consideration, (B) only be required to provide representations and warranties that such Class B Member has title to the Class B Membership Interests owned by it and subject to the Class B Sale, free and clear of any Encumbrances, and that it has the power and authority to sell such Class B Membership Interests, (C) only be required to sign such stock powers and other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Plum Class B Selling Parties and/or the Company or the third party purchaser, as applicable, with respect to the transfer thereof, and (D) not be obligated to enter into any non-compete, client non-solicitation or other post-closing covenant that restricts its activities in any way. The Class B Members shall take such other necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation or such Class B Sale reasonably requested by the Plum Class B Selling Parties or the Company.

Section 11.3 Transfers in General.

(a) Substitute Members. Any Person who is a transferee of any portion of a Member’s Membership Interests pursuant to this Article 11 (other than Section 11.3(c)), shall become a substitute Member; provided that such Person shall not be admitted as a Member, and such Transfer shall not be effective, until the time such Person executes a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of the transferor with respect to the transferred Membership Interests under this Agreement.

(b) Distribution Entitlement. For purposes of receiving distributions, a Transfer of Membership Interests in accordance with this Article 11 shall be effective on the first day of the month following the day on which the requirements of this Article 11 have been satisfied, or at such earlier time as the Managing Member reasonably determines. Distributions made after the effective date shall be made to the transferee of such Membership Interests.

(c) Transfers in Violation. No Transfer of Membership Interests, or any part thereof, that is in violation of this Article 11, shall be valid or effective against, or shall bind, the Company, and neither the Company nor the Members shall recognize the same for the purpose of making allocations, distributions or other payments pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Membership Interests or part thereof. Neither the Company nor the non-transferring Members shall incur any liability as a result of refusing to make any such distributions to the transferee of any such invalid Transfer, or any other Person, and no such purported transferee shall have any right to receive allocations or payments of any Profits or Losses or distributions. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) any Transfer, as a whole or in part, of Membership Interests shall be prohibited if, in the reasonable opinion of the Managing Member such Transfer poses a material risk that the Company would be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; and (ii) a Member may not Transfer all or any part of such Person’s Membership Interests if such Transfer would jeopardize the status of the Company as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or would violate any provision of Federal or state securities or blue sky laws or breach the conditions to any exemption from registration of the Membership Interests under any such laws or breach any undertaking or agreement of a Member entered into pursuant to such laws or in connection with obtaining an exemption thereunder.

Section 11.4 Additional Members.

(a) With the prior written consent of all of the Members of the Company, the Managing Member shall have the power to admit one or more additional Members; provided that any such additional Member shall have executed such documents as the Managing Member may reasonably require as appropriate for effecting such admission.

(b) The admission of any Person as an additional Member shall be conditioned upon such Person’s written acceptance and adoption of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

-59-

(c) Additional Members shall not be entitled to any retroactive allocation of the Company’s income, gains, losses, deductions, credits or other items; provided, however, that, subject to the restrictions of Section 706(d) of the Code, additional Members shall be entitled to their respective share of the Company’s income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other items arising under contracts entered into before the effective date of the issuance of any Additional Members to the extent that such income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other items arise after such effective date. To the extent consistent with Section 706(d) of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company’s books may be closed at the time additional Members are admitted (as though the Company’s tax year had ended) or the Company may credit to the additional Members’ pro rata allocations of the Company’s income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and items for that portion of the Company’s Fiscal Year after the effective date of the admission of the additional Members.

Section 11.5 East Edisto Assets Right of First Offer. In the event that the Managing Member determines to cause the Company to Transfer any undeveloped parcels of rural and recreational land within the East Edisto North and East Edisto South Plantation Districts JV2 Projects consisting of at least 2,500 contiguous acres to a third party for rural or recreational use or for the purpose of harvesting timber and the same is expressly authorized in the applicable JV2 Strategic Plan or applicable JV2 Annual Plan, the Managing Member shall submit a written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to Plum notifying Plum of its desire to cause the Company or the applicable JV2 Project Subsidiary to Transfer the specified parcels of land that are set forth in the Sale Notice (the “Specified East Edisto Assets”) and setting forth the material economic terms and other material terms that the Managing Member would be willing to accept for a sale of the Specified Timberlands Asset (the “Specified Terms”). Within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Offer Period”), Plum may provide the Managing Member with a written offer (the “Purchase Offer”) setting forth a proposed cash purchase price and general terms and conditions upon which Plum would be willing to acquire all of the Specified East Edisto Assets. For thirty (30) days following the Managing Member’s receipt of the Purchase Offer, (the “Negotiation Period”), the Managing Member and Plum shall negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement for the sale of the Specified East Edisto Asset to Plum. If (a) Plum does not provide a Purchase Offer during the Offer Period or (b) a binding agreement for a sale of the Specified East Edisto Assets is not reached by the end of the Negotiation Period, for a period of one (1) year following the termination of the Negotiation Period, the Company may sell, transfer or dispose of (or enter into a binding agreement to sell, transfer or dispose of) the Specified East Edisto Asset to a third party at a price that is at least 90% of the purchase price set forth in the Specified Terms and under transaction terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company than the terms of the proposed transaction as set forth in the Specified Terms, and, if such sale is consummated, Plum shall have no further rights under this Section 11.5 with regards to the Specified East Edisto Assets. If (i) at the end of such one (1)-year period, a binding agreement for a sale of the Specified East Edisto Assets has not been reached or (ii) such a binding agreement has been reached and is terminated prior to its consummation, the Company shall not sell, transfer or dispose of, or negotiate to sell, transfer or dispose of, any Specified East Edisto Assets without first complying with the procedures set forth in this Section 11.5.

EXIT STRATEGY

Section 12.1 JV1 Exit Strategy.

(a) Exit Strategy Election. At any time after the seventh (7th) anniversary of the date hereof, in its sole and absolute discretion, CDLM may, in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.1, elect to either (i) liquidate, dissolve and wind-up the business and affairs of JV1 and its Subsidiaries or (ii) purchase for cash all of the Class A Membership Interests then held by Plum or any of its Affiliates at a price equal to the fair market value of such Class A Membership Interests.

(b) Liquidation of JV1.

(i) In the event that CDLM elects to liquidate, dissolve and wind-up of the business and affairs of JV1 and its Subsidiaries, CDLM shall promptly provide Plum with notice of such election and shall immediately commence to wind up the affairs of JV1 and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of JV1 and its Subsidiaries and the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Class A Members to minimize the normal losses attendant upon a liquidation. The Class A Members shall continue to share JV1 Profits and JV1 Losses during liquidation in the same proportions, as specified in Article 7, as before liquidation. Each Class A Member shall repay to the Company any loans then owing by such Person to the Company. The proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed, as realized, in the following order and priority:

A. First, to the payment of the expenses of liquidation;

B. Second, to the setting up of any reserves which CDLM reasonably determines to be necessary or desirable for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities, expenses or other obligations of JV1 or any of its Subsidiaries;

C. Third, to the payment of the debts and liabilities of JV1 and its Subsidiaries, other than debts and liabilities to any Class A Member;

D. Fourth, to the payment of the debts and liabilities of JV1 and its Subsidiaries owed to any Class A Members; and

E. Fifth, to the Members in accordance with Section 8.1(b).

(ii) Upon the liquidation of JV1 and its Subsidiaries, any liquidating distributions shall be made in accordance with this Section 12.1(b). Liquidation proceeds shall be paid within sixty (60) days of the end of the taxable year (or, if later, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of the liquidation). For purposes of making the liquidating distributions required by this Section 12.1(b), the Managing Member shall sell all of the assets of JV1 and its Subsidiaries and distribute the proceeds therefrom. With the prior written consent of the Class A Members, the Managing Member may distribute a portion of the assets of JV1 and its Subsidiaries in kind. If any assets of JV1 and its Subsidiaries are to be so distributed in kind

-61-

to the Class A Members, (i) the Capital Accounts of the Class A Members shall be adjusted to reflect the amount, if any, of unrealized gain or loss with respect to such assets, as though such assets had been sold for their fair market value (determined in good faith by the JV1 Directors with at least one (1) Plum JV1 Director in concurrence therewith) and any gain or loss allocated among the Class A Members in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) such assets shall be distributed in such a manner that each Class A Member will receive such Class A Member’s proportionate interest in such assets available for such distribution; that is to say, each Class A Member shall receive an interest, corresponding to the proportion to which such Class A Member is entitled pursuant to this Section 12.1(b), in real estate and leaseholds and other properties, as nearly as practicable, and in connection therewith Managing Member shall in good faith endeavor to distribute fee simple interests in the individual assets to the Class A Members in accordance with their respective Class A Percentage Interests so as to avoid to the maximum extent possible the distribution of undivided interests in the same asset among the Class A Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Managing Member shall liquidate JV1 promptly upon the sale of all of the JV1 Projects in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.1(b), it being understood and agreed that said liquidation shall proceed even if there remain any JV2 Assets.

(i) In the event that CDLM elects to purchase for cash all of Plum’s Class A Membership Interests pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(ii) at a price equal to the fair market value of such Class A Membership Interests, CDLM shall deliver a written notice (a “Purchase Notice”) to Plum indicating (A) that it has elected to exercise its right to purchase Plum’s Class A Membership Interests pursuant to this Section 12.1, (B) its good faith determination of the proposed fair market value of Plum’s Class A Membership Interests (the “Proposed Fair Market Value”), and (C) in reasonable detail, the assumptions and calculations used by CDLM to determine such Proposed Fair Market Value. If within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Proposed Fair Market Value, Plum does not give a written notice of dispute regarding the Proposed Fair Market Value (a “Fair Market Value Dispute Notice”) to CDLM, the Class A Members agree that the final determination of the fair market value of Plum’s Class A Membership Interests for purposes of this Section 12.1(c) (the “Final Determination”) shall be equal to the Proposed Fair Market Value. The Fair Market Value Dispute Notice shall state the view of Plum as to the fair market value of its Class A Membership Interests (the “Response Fair Market Value”), together with the information set forth in clause (C) above supporting such view. If Plum gives a Fair Market Value Dispute Notice within such thirty (30) day period, the Class A Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute during the fifteen (15) day period commencing on the date CDLM receives the Fair Market Value Dispute Notice and if the Class A Members agree during said fifteen (15) day period on the fair market value of Plum’s Class A Membership Interest, then said fair market Value shall be the Final Determination for purposes of this Section 12.1(c).

(ii) If the Class A Members do not agree upon the fair market value of Plum’s Class A Membership Interests within such fifteen (15) day period, the Class A Members shall appoint a mutually acceptable, nationally recognized appraiser with Master Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) certification (the “Appraiser”) to conduct an independent evaluation to determine the fair market value of Plum’s Class A Membership Interests, which shall be determined no later than thirty (30) Business Days after such appointment (the “Third Party

-62-

Determination”); provided that if the Class A Members are unable to agree upon an appraiser with MAI certification to serve as the Appraiser, each Class A Member shall appoint an appraiser with MAI certification and such appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser with MAI certification who shall serve as the Appraiser. The Class A Members shall be equally responsible for the fees of the Appraiser. The Third Party Determination shall be an amount between or equal to the (i) Proposed Fair Market Value and (ii) Response Fair Market Value. In connection with the Third Party Determination, the Appraiser shall have access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel necessary to make such determination. Each Class A Member and its Representatives shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Appraiser any material such Class A Member deems relevant to the Proposed Fair Market Value or Response Fair Market Value, as applicable, and shall make itself available to discuss the matter with the Appraiser at the request of the Appraiser; provided that any material presented to or by the Appraiser shall be at the same time made available in the same form and substance to the other Class A Member. The Third Party Determination shall be the Final Determination and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Class A Members.

(iii) Within thirty (30) Business Days following the Final Determination, CDLM shall purchase, and Plum shall sell, all of Plum’s Class A Membership Interests in exchange for the consideration per share, based on the fair market value set forth in such Final Determination. The foregoing sale shall be promptly completed, but in no event later than sixty (60) days from the date of the Final Determination; provided that if the sale of such Class A Membership Interests is subject to any prior regulatory approval, the time period during which such sale must be consummated shall be extended solely for such purposes until the expiration of five (5) Business Days after all such approvals have been received.

(b) Upon the seventh (7th) anniversary of the date hereof, the Managing Member shall immediately commence to wind up the affairs of the Company that relate to the JV2 Assets (including the JV2 Project Subsidiaries); provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the JV2 Assets and the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Class B Members to minimize the normal losses attendant upon a liquidation; provided, further, that the Class B Members shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that such liquidation is undertaken in a tax efficient manner. The Class B Members shall continue to share JV2 Profits and JV2 Losses during liquidation in the same proportions, as specified in Article 7, as before liquidation.

If any JV2 Assets are to be so distributed in kind to the Class B Members, the Class B Senior Preferred Members or the Class B Subordinated Preferred Members, (i) the Capital Accounts of the Class B Members, the Class B Senior Preferred Members and the Class B Subordinated Preferred Members shall be adjusted to reflect the amount, if any, of unrealized gain or loss with respect to such assets, as though such assets had been sold for their fair market value (determined in good faith by the JV2 Directors with at least one (1) Plum JV2 Director in concurrence therewith) and any gain or loss allocated among the Class B Members, the Class B Senior Preferred Members and the Class B Subordinated Preferred Members in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) such assets shall be distributed in such a manner that each Class B Member, Class B Senior Preferred Member and Class B Subordinated Preferred Member will receive such Class B Member’s, Class B Senior Preferred Member’s or Class B Subordinated Preferred Member’s proportionate interest in such assets available for such distribution; that is to say, each Class B Member, Class B Senior Preferred Member and Class B Subordinated Preferred Member shall receive an interest, corresponding to the proportion to which such Class B Member, Class B Senior Preferred Member and Class B Subordinated Preferred Member is entitled pursuant to Section 12.2(b), in real estate and leaseholds and other properties, as nearly as practicable, and in connection therewith Managing Member shall in good faith endeavor to distribute fee simple interests in the individual assets to the Class B Members in accordance with their respective Class B Percentage Interests so as to avoid to the maximum extent possible the distribution of undivided interests in the same asset among the Class B Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member shall liquidate the business and affairs of the Company that relate to the JV2 Assets (including the JV2 Project Subsidiaries) promptly upon the sale of all of the JV2 Projects in accordance with the terms of Section 12(b) and this Section 12.2(c), it being understood and agreed that said liquidation shall proceed even if there remain any JV1 Assets.

With respect to any Buy/Sell Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 12.2(d), the buy/sell procedures shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.1(c)-(e).

Section 12.3 Cooperation on Exit. In the event that CDLM elects to liquidate JV1 or to purchase for cash all of the Class A Membership Interests then held by Plum or any of its Affiliates, in each case pursuant to Section 12.1, and prior to the Managing Member commencing to liquidate, dissolve and wind up the business and affairs of the Company that relate to the JV2 Assets (including the JV2 Project Subsidiaries) pursuant to Section 12.2, the parties shall work together in good faith to structure such purchase or liquidation, as the case may be, in a manner that is as tax efficient to the parties as possible.

(a) In the event that (i) the JV2 Board does not approve a Class B Major Decision set forth in subclause (x), (xi) or (xiv) through (xvii) of Section 4.8(c), (ii) the Company or the Managing Member has undertaken an action that constitutes a Class B Major Decision set forth in subclause (x), (xi) or (xiv)-(xvii) of Section 4.8(c) without the prior receipt of the required approval of the JV2 Board and fails to cure the breach or rescind the actions which caused the breach, in either case, to the reasonable satisfaction of Plum within ten (10) days of MWV’s receipt of a written notice from Plum (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances pertaining thereto and the basis for Plum’s allegation that the Company has breached Section 4.8(c)), (iii) the JV2 Board fails to approve a JV2 Annual Plan for a particular JV2 Project as set forth in Section 4.8(b)(ii), or (iv) the JV2 Board fails to approve an Alternative JV2 Strategic Plan for a particular JV2 Project as set forth in Section 4.8(b)(iii) (each of the foregoing a “Buy/Sell Trigger Event”), then either Class B Member (the Class B Member delivering the notice, the “Triggering Party”) may deliver a non-binding written notice (a “Buy/Sell Intent Notice”) to the other Class B Member (the “Reviewing Party”) indicating that it desires to initiate the buy/sell procedure set forth in this Section 14.1.

(b) If a Buy/Sell Trigger Event occurs and the Class B Members fail to reach a binding resolution of the differences that led to the receipt of such Buy/Sell Intent Notice, no less than five (5) Business Days and no more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the delivery of such Buy/Sell Intent Notice (the “Resolution Period”) the Triggering Party may initiate the Buy/Sell procedure set forth in this Section 14.1. If the Triggering Party does not initiate the Buy/Sell procedure within fifteen (15) Business Days of the delivery of the Buy/Sell Intent Notice, then the Reviewing Party may initiate the Buy/Sell procedure set forth in this Section 14.1 within the next five (5) Business Days, in which event for purposes of the buy/sell procedure the Reviewing Party under Section 14.1(a) will be deemed the Triggering Party for purposes of Section 14.1(c) and the Triggering Party under Section 14.1(a) will be deemed the Reviewing Party for purposes of Section 14.1(c). If neither Class B Member shall have initiated the Buy/Sell Notice in this Section 14.1 by the twentieth (20th) Business Day after delivery of the Buy/Sell Intent Notice, then such Buy/Sell Intent Notice shall be void and have no further force and effect, but any Class B Member shall be entitled to send a new Buy/Sell Intent Notice in accordance with the procedures of this Section 14.1.

(i) The Triggering Party shall initiate the buy/sell procedure with respect to the applicable JV2 Project by sending a notice to the Reviewing Party (the “Buy/Sell Notice”) which shall: (A) be in writing and be signed by the Triggering Party; and (B) specify a

-68-

cash purchase price (the “Buy/Sell Purchase Price”) at which the Triggering Party shall choose to either (x) purchase from Reviewing Party, in cash, all, but not part of, of the applicable JV2 Project (the “Buy Offer”), or (y) sell to the Reviewing Party for cash all, but not part of, the applicable JV2 Project (the “Sell Offer”), in either case on the terms and conditions set forth below and subject to the provisions of this Section 14.1.

(ii) Within twenty (20) Business Days after the Reviewing Party receives the Buy/Sell Notice (the “Election Period”), the Reviewing Party must provide written notice to the Triggering Party (an “Election Notice”), which Election Notice must indicate either that (A) the Reviewing Party accepts the offer contained in the Buy/Sell Notice or (B)(x) if the Buy/Sell Notice contained a Buy Offer, the Reviewing Party rejects the Buy Offer and agrees to purchase from the Triggering Party all, but not part of, the applicable JV2 Project or (y) if the Buy/Sell Notice contained a Sell Offer, the Reviewing Party rejects the Sell Offer and agrees to sell to the Triggering Party all, but not part of, the applicable JV2 Project for a cash purchase price equal to the Buy/Sell Purchase Price.

(iii) If the Reviewing Party fails to give an Election Notice within the required twenty (20) Business Day period, then the Reviewing Party shall be deemed to have accepted the Triggering Party’s offer contained in the Buy/Sell Notice.

(iv) In the event of any Buy Offer, the Triggering Party must include with the Buy/Sell Notice evidence reasonably acceptable to the Reviewing Party of its ability to finance the proposed acquisition.

(d) Sales Procedure. A purchase and sale of a JV2 Project in accordance with this Section 14.1 shall be accomplished in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) The proceeds that the selling Class B Member (the “Selling Party”) with respect to the sale of the JV2 Project shall be payable solely in cash and shall be equal to (A) the amount that would be distributable to the Selling Party by the Company if the Company or the applicable JV2 Project Subsidiary had sold the applicable JV2 Project for a price equal to the Buy/Sell Purchase Price and disbursed such proceeds to the Company for distribution to the Members in accordance with Sections 8.1(b) and (d).

(ii) The sale shall be consummated at a closing held on the Buy/Sell Transfer Date at such location as may be designated in writing by the purchasing Class B Member (the “Purchasing Party”). As used herein, the “Buy/Sell Transfer Date” means the date that is no later than thirty (30) Business Days after the expiration of the Election Period, or such other day as the Members may agree; provided, however, that, if the sale of such JV2 Project is subject to any prior regulatory approval, the time period during which such sale may be consummated shall be extended solely for such purposes until the expiration of five (5) days after all such approvals shall have been received, but in no event shall such period be extended for more than ninety (90) Business Days from the expiration of the Election Period.

(e) If for any reason the Purchasing Party fails to close as aforesaid, in addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement or at law or in equity by reason thereof, the Selling Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Purchasing

-69-

Party given within thirty (30) Business Days of the date set for the Buy/Sell Transfer Date, to purchase under this Section 14.1 the applicable JV2 Project. If the Selling Party exercises such option, the purchase price used for the purposes of this Section 14.2(e) shall be ninety percent (90%) of the Buy/Sell Purchase Price.

Section 14.2 Major Decision Dispute.

(a) In the event of any dispute regarding whether a particular action or proposed action by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries constitutes a Class A Major Decision or a Class B Major Decision (a “Major Decision Dispute”), the parties agree that any such Major Decision Dispute shall be resolved by expedited arbitration set forth in Section 14.2(d) (“Arbitration”), the result of which shall be binding upon the Class A Members or Class B Members, as applicable.

(b) Prior to initiating an Arbitration proceeding, a Class A Member or Class B Member, as applicable, first must send a written notice to the other Class A Member or Class B Member, as applicable, (i) describing the Major Decision Dispute; and (ii) requesting attempted resolution of the Major Decision Dispute by good faith negotiations in accordance with Section 14.2(c).

(c) A senior executive officer of the ultimate parent companies of each Class A Member or Class B Member, as applicable, shall designate a group of no more than three individuals to participate in good faith negotiations with a like group designated by the other Member aimed at resolving the Major Decision Dispute. The respective groups shall meet to conduct good faith negotiations during the fifteen (15) Business Day period following receipt of the notice (such period, as it may be extended by mutual written consent, being the “Designees Discussion Period”). By mutual written consent, the parties may extend the fifteen (15) Business Day period for conducting such negotiations. If the Members fail to resolve the Major Decision Dispute within the Designees Discussion Period, then such senior executive officers of the ultimate parent companies of each Class A Member or Class B Member, as applicable, shall review such Major Decision Dispute, and shall conduct good faith negotiations with respect to such Dispute within the five (5) Business Days following the end of the Designees Discussion Period. If the Major Decision Dispute is not resolved within said five (5) Business Day period after the end of the Designees Discussion Period (the “Discussion Period”), rather Member may initiate an Arbitration proceeding as provided in Section 14.2(d) (all such timeframes set forth in this Section 14.2(c), the “Internal Discussion Timeframes”).

(d) In the event that a Major Decision Dispute is not resolved within the Internal Discussion Timeframes in accordance with Section 14.2(c), if requested by either Class A Member or Class B Member, as applicable, shall mutually request an expedited arbitration which shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”) insofar as such Rules are not inconsistent with the provisions expressly set forth in this Agreement, unless the Members mutually agree otherwise, and pursuant to the following procedures:

(i) The arbitration, which shall take place in New York, New York, shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, who shall be selected by the mutual agreement of the

-70-

Class A Members or Class B Members, as applicable, within fourteen (14) days of the end of the Discussion Period. If the Class A Members or the Class B Members, as applicable, are unable to mutually agree on an arbitrator, the Class A Members or the Class B Members, as applicable, shall request the American Arbitration Association to appoint an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of such request.

(ii) The proceedings before the arbitrator shall be held within thirty (30) days of selection of the arbitrator in accordance with Section 14.2(d)(i).

(iii) The arbitrator shall render a decision within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the proceedings, which decision shall be conclusive and binding upon the Class A Members or Class B Members, as applicable, and judgment upon the same may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(iv) The existence and resolution of the arbitrator shall be kept confidential by the Members in the same manner that Confidential Information is kept confidential pursuant to Section 15.17.

(v) The Members shall bear their own costs incurred in connection with the Arbitration and share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the costs of administration. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, any dispute or arbitration during the term of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from its obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Members acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration provisions of this Section 14.2(d) are intended to resolve a dispute as to whether a particular decision or determination constitutes a Class A Major Decision or Class B Major Decision, and are not intended to resolve the actual Class A Major Decision or Class B Major Decision itself.

(i) maintain an interest or manage (x) any of the initial JV1 Projects and any of the JV2 Projects (other than the East Edisto North and East Edisto South JV2 Projects) or (y) any of the JV2 Projects that a MWV Restricted Entity may acquire pursuant Sections 14.1 (collectively, the “Excluded Projects”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, management of an Excluded Project shall include the ability to acquire contiguous parcels of land, if in the reasonable judgment of the MWV Restricted Entity, such acquisitions will enhance the value of the Excluded Projects;

(ii) maintain an interest or manage any future development projects where a MWV Restricted Entity invests in infrastructure to subdivide and/or improve residential lots, except to the extent that such a development project would offer product that is substantially the same as the JV2 Projects that are then platted and for sale or under construction;

(iii) own or hold up to 10% of the outstanding securities of any entity whose securities are listed and traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or market that maintains an interest or manages a Restricted Development Opportunity;

(iv) merge, consolidate or otherwise engage in a business combination with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets or businesses to, any Person that is not an Affiliate of any MWV Restricted Entity who holds an interest in a Restricted Development

-75-

Opportunity and continues to operate such existing Restricted Development Opportunity, and, upon the consummation of such a permitted transaction, the restrictions set forth in this Section 15.19 shall immediately terminate and be of no further effect with respect to said Restricted Development Opportunity; and

(v) purchase or acquire (through merger, stock purchase or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or otherwise) any entity that holds an interest in a Restricted Development Opportunity and continue to operate such existing Restricted Development Opportunities; provided, that if, in the last completed fiscal quarter prior to the consummation of the purchase or acquisition, the aggregate consolidated net asset value of such Restricted Development Opportunities exceeded twenty five percent (25%) of such acquired entity’s total net asset value over the same period, then the acquiring MWV Restricted Entity shall commence as promptly as practicable a process to sell all or a portion of such Restricted Development Opportunities to an un-Affiliated third party and shall use reasonable best efforts to complete such sale within twenty-four (24) months of such consummation of the purchase or acquisition, such that the net asset value of the acquired entity attributable to the Restricted Development Opportunities does not exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the total net asset value of the acquired entity.

Exhibit 30

INSTALLMENT NOTE


$860,000,000.00		[INSERT CLOSING DATE], 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PLUM CREEK TIMBERLANDS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), hereby executes this installment note (“Installment Note”) and promises to pay to the order of [ ], a [STATE] [FORM OF ENTITY] or its permitted assignees (“Holder”),¹ the principal sum of Eight Hundred and Sixty Million and no/100ths Dollars ($860,000,000) (“Principal Sum”) together with interest at the rate set forth in Section 1 below. This Installment Note will be unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Borrower and will rank equally with all of the Borrower’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article 4 of Appendix A to this Installment Note, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Appendix A”); for the avoidance of doubt, the term “Installment Note” shall refer collectively to this installment note and Appendix A.

1. Interest.

(a) Subject to Section 19 below and the remainder of this Section 1, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest from the date hereof until paid in full at a fixed rate per annum equal to %² (the “Interest Rate”)

(b) Interest at the rate or rates provided herein shall be payable on each Payment Date (defined below). All interest payable under the terms of this Installment Note shall be calculated on the basis of twelve (12) 30-day months in a 360-day year.

(c) If any amount of the Principal Sum is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum at all times equal to the interest rate then in effect plus two percent (2%) (the “Default Rate”) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Upon the request of Holder, if any amount (other than the Principal Sum) payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Upon the request of Holder, while any other Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the obligations owing under this Installment Note (including the Principal Sum) at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand.

¹	To be determined at Closing and subject to MWV’s sole discretion in the Purchase Agreement (as long as Holder at Closing is either MWV or a wholly-owned Subsidiary designated by MWV).

²	To be inserted at Closing consistent with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

2. Payments and Maturity.

(a) Interest on the unpaid Principal Sum shall be due and payable semi-annually, on the first day of each May and November (each a “Payment Date”), commencing on May 1, 2014, and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter through and until the Maturity Date.

(b) The entire unpaid Principal Sum, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall mature and be due and payable in full on [INSERT DATE THAT IS 10^THANNIVERSARY OF CLOSING] (“Original Maturity Date” and as extended with respect to all or a portion of the Principal Sum in accordance with the remainder of this paragraph, the “Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding the Original Maturity Date, if (i) at least 180 days prior to the Original Maturity Date, Holder provides written notice to the Borrower of Holder’s request to extend the Original Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion not less than $200,000,000 of the Principal Sum (an “Extension Request”), and (ii) Borrower consents in writing to such Extension Request, such consent to be given or withheld, subject to the second succeeding sentence, in Borrower’s sole discretion, then, with respect to the Principal Sum or, if applicable, the portion of the Principal Sum specified in the Extension Request or an amount otherwise consented to by Borrower, the Original Maturity Date shall automatically be extended to the date so requested by Holder or, if earlier, at Borrower’s election, the expected Maturity Date of any Refinancing Indebtedness (as defined below). For all purposes hereunder, such date shall thereafter be the “Maturity Date” with respect to the Principal Sum or applicable portion thereof, as the case may be, provided that any portion of the Principal Sum as to which the Original Maturity Date has not been extended as provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall remain due and payable on the Original Maturity Date. The Borrower agrees that it shall consent to an Extension Request if (i) at the time of the Extension Request the Borrower intends to refinance all or a portion not less than $200,000,000 of this Installment Note on or prior to the Original Maturity Date with the proceeds of new indebtedness for borrowed money (including, without limitation, indebtedness evidenced by bonds, notes or similar Instruments or advanced under a bank credit facility) that has a term greater than or equal to 5 years from its issuance (“Refinancing Indebtedness”) (it being understood that the requirement that the Borrower consent to such Extension Request shall only apply to an amount of the Principal Sum equal to the amount of the contemplated Refinancing Indebtedness) and (ii) Holder consents that the terms of this Installment Note, other than interest rate which shall be determined as set forth below, will be amended to be substantially consistent with the terms that would reasonably be expected to apply to the contemplated Refinancing Indebtedness. Borrower covenants to respond in writing to any Extension Request no later than 60 days prior to the Original Maturity Date in accordance with Section 13 below and the parties agree to cooperate to amend this Installment Note in a manner consistent with this paragraph upon the extension of the Maturity Date in accordance herewith.

(b) At any time during the 180-day period following receipt by the Borrower of notice from Holder that Holder intends to withhold its consent to any amendment or waiver of this Installment Note that was requested by the Borrower and approved by any Eligible Assignees (or, as applicable, the requisite majority of financing sources for whom an Eligible Assignee serves as agent or trustee) to which this Installment Note has been pledged (an “Optional Prepayment Event”), the Borrower may prepay this Installment Note in whole but not in part for cash at 100% of the Principal Sum, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the prepayment date, plus the Breakage Amount (if any); provided, however, that the Borrower’s right to prepay the Note pursuant to this paragraph 4(b) shall terminate upon the 181^st day after an Optional Prepayment Event shall have occurred.
