FOX RIVER AWA ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY AGREEMENT



THIS AGREEMENT is made on the 9thday of November, 2001 by and among PAPERWEIGHT DEVELOPMENT CORP. (PDC), a Wisconsin corporation, NEW APPLETON LLC, a Wisconsin
limited liability company (New Appleton and, together with PDC, Buyers), APPLETON PAPERS INC., a Delaware corporation (API), and ARJO WIGGINS APPLETON p.l.c., a
corporation incorporated in England and Wales with company number 2454830 (AWA).



WHEREAS, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of July 5, 2001 (the Purchase Agreement), Buyers have indirectly purchased
one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding capital stock of API from the Sellers, as defined therein (the API Purchase); and



WHEREAS, Buyers have agreed, pursuant to the Fox River PDC Environmental Indemnity Agreement (the PDC Agreement) of even date
herewith, and in reliance on this Agreement, to indemnify API in respect of the Excess Costs;



WHEREAS, in connection with the API Purchase, AWA has agreed to indemnify Buyers against all costs incurred by Buyers in connection with their indemnification obligations under the PDC Agreement; and Buyers and API
have agreed jointly and severally to indemnify AWA against the API Excess Costs; and



WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the PDC Agreement.



NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto have agreed to the following:



1.INTERPRETATION



In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires:



3



---

1.1 Affiliate means a person or entity included within the definition of
affiliate set forth in United States Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 405, as amended from time to time.



1.2 Costs and Expenses means reasonable out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred (i) in connection with a Tax Contest, (ii) in
pursuing or asserting any rights of Recovery, or (iii) in connection with the defense of Claims. For the purposes hereof, all costs incurred by employees of API, Buyers or any other Member of the Buyers Group who assist AWA pursuant to Section
5.2 below shall be included as Costs and Expenses at the rate per hour specified in Schedule 1.2 hereto



1.3 Member of the Buyers Group means API (whether or not it is at any relevant time still an Affiliate of Buyers), Buyers
and its and their respective present or future Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, directors, stockholders, partners and other holders of equity securities.



1.4 Recoveries means any amounts which are received by API or any other Member of the Buyers
Group from any third party in respect of Excess Costs (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any Tax Benefit Amount as defined in Section 5.1.1.1), including without limitation (i) pursuant to the NCR Agreements, (ii) pursuant to insurance
policies, and (iii) from other third parties or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, Recoveries will not include (x) any payments by NCR to third parties or (y) payments by NCR to API which API combines with its own funds to make a payment to a
third party on behalf of both API and NCR; and Recoveries will include any amounts paid by NCR to API under the NCR Agreements in reimbursement of amounts previously paid by API to third parties on behalf of NCR, but only to the extent that API had
included such previously paid amounts as Excess Costs under the PDC Agreement.



4



---

1.5 Relief means any loss, allowance, credit, deduction or set-off for Tax
purposes benefiting any Member of the Buyers Group arising as a result of (i) its or any other Member of the Buyers Groups incurring of or paying Excess Costs, (ii) any indemnification payment by Buyers under the PDC Agreement, or
(iii) its or any other Member of the Buyers Groups incurring of or paying Costs and Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, Relief shall include any benefit described above obtained by any shareholder of a Member of the Buyers Group
by virtue of such Member of the Buyers Group being a so-called pass-through entity for United States tax purposes.



1.6 Tax or Taxation means all federal, state, provincial, local, territorial and foreign income,
profits, franchise, gross receipts, payroll, sales, employment, use, property, real estate, excise, value added, estimated, stamp, alternative or add-on minimum, environmental, withholding and any other taxes, duties or assessments together with all
penalties, interest and additions imposed with respect to such tax amounts.



2.INDEMNIFICATION BY AWA



Subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, AWA hereby covenants to indemnify and hold harmless Buyers or, where applicable, any other Member of the Buyers Group, in respect of the following (the Aggregate Indemnification
Payments):



2.1 all amounts for which Buyers
become responsible in satisfaction of their indemnification obligations under the PDC Agreement, reduced by the sum of (i) any Tax Benefit Amounts, and (ii) any Recoveries received by any Members of the Buyers Group;



5



---

2.2 any Tax Benefit Amount in the event, and only to the extent that, any such Tax Benefit Amount is not
finally allowed by the applicable Tax authority after having been taken into account as a repayment of a Loan pursuant to Section 4.1.2.2(ii), along with any interest and penalties paid (net of Tax effect) in respect of any such disallowance;



2.3 any Recoveries in the event, and only to the extent that,
any such Recoveries are not finally received (or must be returned) by any Members of the Buyers Group after having been taken into account as a repayment of a Loan pursuant to Section 4.1.2.2(i); and



2.4 any Costs and Expenses incurred by Buyers, but only to the extent not
explicitly the responsibility of the Buyers by operation of Section 5.1.5.3 or Section 5.2.8 below.



3.INDEMNIFICATION BY API AND BUYERS



API and Buyers hereby acknowledge (i) that they are and shall remain, as between the parties hereto, solely responsible for the satisfaction of the API Excess Costs, and nothing contained herein or in the PDC
Agreement shall transfer any such liability to AWA or constitute AWAs agreement to assume any such liability, and (ii) that the indemnity provided by AWA pursuant to Article 2 shall not apply to the API Excess Costs. In accordance with the
foregoing, API and Buyers hereby jointly and severally covenant to indemnify, hold harmless and pay to AWA an amount equal to any API Excess Costs that AWA actually incurs or otherwise pays on behalf of API, either Buyer or any other Member of the
Buyers Group.



4.SATISFACTION OF AWA INDEMNIFICATION



4.1 The parties hereby acknowledge that while API may be
legally responsible, as a matter of law, for satisfying the Indemnified Excess Costs, and while AWAs indemnification obligation hereunder in respect of the Indemnified Excess Costs relates to Buyers obligation to indemnify API, it is the
agreement of the parties that, as set forth in Section 4.1.3, by operation



6



---

of this Agreement and AWAs indemnification obligations hereunder, AWA shall, upon Buyers request but subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, pay (or cause to be paid) to API on behalf of Buyers or Buyers (or, where applicable, Members of the Buyers Group) the amount of the Indemnified Excess Costs prior to such time that API (or either Buyer (or, where applicable, a
Member of the Buyers Group)) becomes legally obligated to pay such Indemnified Excess Costs so that neither Buyer (nor API, nor, where applicable, any other Member of the Buyers Group) is effectively ever out of pocket in respect
thereof; provided that in furtherance of the foregoing, AWA may in its discretion make such payments directly to the applicable obligee in respect thereof, in which latter case AWA shall provide notice to Buyers and API of such direct payment.
Further, except as set forth in Section 4.1.3, and consistent with the foregoing, AWA shall pay the Indemnified Excess Costs initially without giving effect to the deductions therefrom set forth in Sections 2.1(i) and (ii) above. The following sets
forth the procedures under which AWA shall pay the Indemnified Excess Costs; provided, however, that nothing contained below is intended to limit AWAs rights of control as set forth in Section 5 below; and provided, further, that the parties
acknowledge that they may from time to time agree to informal procedures to supplement the following, although neither party is under any obligation to agree to any such informal procedures:



4.1.1 AWA shall initially satisfy the amount of Indemnified
Excess Costs as follows:



4.1.1.1 Buyers (or
API on behalf of Buyers) shall provide notice (the Indemnification Notice) to AWA, setting forth the amount of any Indemnified Excess Costs which the Buyers are required to pay to API under the terms of the PDC Agreement
for which Buyers seek indemnification hereunder, notwithstanding that



7



---

neither the Buyers nor API have paid such costs in advance of issuing such Indemnification Notice. The Indemnification Notice shall set forth the amount of
the applicable Indemnified Excess Costs, together with documentary support in respect thereof (setting forth all of the circumstances thereof), and, if payment thereof has not yet been made, the date by which such payment is legally due from Buyers
(the Excess Cost Due Date).



4.1.1.2 AWA shall, and notwithstanding that it may be contesting its obligation to make such payment in accordance with Section 7, pay to Buyers or Members of the Buyers Group (or, pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.1.3, the applicable
obligee or API) the amount of the Indemnified Excess Costs set forth in each Indemnification Notice (the Initial Indemnification Payment) not later than the later of (i) ten (10) days after delivery of the Indemnification
Notice or (ii) seven (7) days prior to the Excess Cost Due Date or (iii) if AWA makes such payment to the applicable obligee or to API, on the due date therefor as set forth in the PDC Agreement; provided that AWA shall be entitled to reduce
any Initial Indemnification Payment by any amounts owed to AWA under this Agreement, including without limitation (x) indemnification payments pursuant to Section 3, (y) any Recoveries (whether or not in respect of such Initial Indemnification
Payment) not previously paid to AWA or otherwise applied against AWAs obligations hereunder, and (z) any Tax Benefit Amount not previously paid to AWA or otherwise applied against AWAs obligations hereunder. If AWA shall not make any
Initial Indemnification Payment when the same shall be due, the amount of such past due payment shall be payable by AWA on demand by API, together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date such payment was due.



8



---

In the event that AWA shall at any time contest or dispute its obligation to make an Initial Indemnification Payment, AWA shall submit such dispute for
resolution pursuant to Section 7 below; and if, as a result thereof, API is obligated to reimburse AWA it shall do so upon demand, together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date AWA made such payment.



4.1.2 The Initial Indemnification Payments hereunder shall
initially be characterized as loans (Loans and the amounts outstanding from time to time in respect of the Loans, the Loan Amount) from AWA to Buyers, as follows:



4.1.2.1 Each Loan shall be interest free and without
recourse to Buyers, API or any other Member of the Buyers Group, such that neither Buyers, API, nor any other Member of the Buyers Group shall under any circumstances be obligated to make repayment thereof other, than as set forth in
Section 4.1.2.2 or otherwise below.



4.1.2.2
The Loan Amount shall be repaid, or deemed repaid, as follows:



(i) in any and all events (and regardless of whether there are then outstanding Loan Amounts), Buyers shall pay to AWA all Recoveries within ten (10) days following actual receipt thereof by API or any other Member of
the Buyers Group. Any such payments shall constitute payments of outstanding Loan Amounts or, if no Loan Amounts are then outstanding, prepayments in respect of future Loan Amounts;



(ii) on March 15 of each year (or, by operation of Section
5.1.4 below, as soon as possible thereafter), Buyers shall repay any outstanding Loan Amount to the extent of the Tax Benefit Amount in respect of the prior calendar year; provided that, in lieu of making any such cash payment, Buyers may elect to
permit AWA to reduce its next payment obligations to Buyers hereunder by such amount;



9



---

(iii) if upon final calculation of the Tax Benefit Amount for a calendar year the amount
\thereof is different than the amount utilized in the calculation described in (ii) above, the parties hereto shall make an appropriate reconciling payment, i.e. if the Tax Benefit Amount is greater than utilized, the Buyers shall pay such excess
amount in cash to AWA (subject to the proviso at the end of subsection 4.1.2.2(ii) above); and if the Tax Benefit Amount is less than utilized, AWA shall pay such lesser amount in cash to Buyers; and



(iv) the outstanding Loan Amount in respect of each year
shall be deemed repaid, and Buyers shall have no further obligations in respect thereof, after giving effect to the repayments set forth in (i) through (iii) above. Any amounts deemed repaid, as aforesaid, shall therefore be treated as Aggregate
Indemnification Payments in accordance herewith, i.e. to the extent of the original Loan Amount for such year reduced by the payments made in respect of Recoveries and the Tax Benefit Amount.



4.1.3 In recognition of Buyers obligations under the
PDC Agreement and of the fact that API shall be responsible in the first instance to satisfy the Indemnified Excess Costs, Buyers hereby direct AWA to make all payments hereunder directly to the applicable obligee or, if applicable, to API;
provided, however, that such direct payments shall nonetheless be treated as a matter of law as being in satisfaction of AWAs obligations hereunder.



4.2 At any time that (i) an Insolvency Event has occurred with respect to Buyers, API or any other Member of the Buyers Group or (ii) Buyers, API or
any other Member of the Buyers Group have failed to pay or satisfy any portion of the API Excess Costs when due, and such failure shall have continued for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given by AWA to the
defaulting party; (provided that such notice and cure period shall not apply



10



---

if any such extended period would have a material adverse effect on AWA; and further provided that Buyers failure to make any indemnification payment
to API or AWA by reason of AWAs failure to make an indemnification payment to Buyers pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder), the following shall thereafter apply:



4.2.1 AWA shall be entitled, in lieu of the procedures set
forth in Section 4.1, to make payments as otherwise determined in accordance with Section 4.1.1.2 equal to the amount of Indemnified Excess Costs, net of AWAs good faith estimate of the Tax Benefit Amount and Recoveries to be obtained by API
or another Member of Buyers Group relating to such Indemnified Excess Costs. Any such payment shall be deemed to constitute a Loan hereunder and the amount thereof shall constitute a portion of the Loan Amount; provided that in such
case any Tax Benefit Amount or Recoveries, when received, relating to such Indemnified Excess Costs up to the amount of such estimate thereof shall be the property of Buyers. If, upon final determination of Tax Benefit Amount and Recoveries, the
amount paid by AWA pursuant to Section 4.1.3 on account of Indemnified Excess Costs is inaccurate, then, as applicable, either (x) AWA shall pay Buyers in cash the amount of any deficiency or (y) Buyers shall pay AWA in cash the amount of any
overpayment, (subject to the proviso at the end of Section 4.1.2.2(ii)).



4.2.2 In any event, and without affecting the limitations set forth in the definition of Indemnified Excess Costs as set forth in the PDC Agreement applicable upon an Insolvency Event, AWAs indemnification
obligations hereunder, and its obligation to make Loans hereunder, shall not in any year exceed the amount of Indemnified Excess Costs for which the Buyers and/or API would have become responsible in that year absent such Insolvency Event. For the
avoidance of doubt,



11



---

therefore, if by reason of an Insolvency Event, the obligations of the Buyers and/or API in respect of Indemnified Excess Costs are accelerated, liquidated
or otherwise established at a specific sum representing, for example, the then current value of the future obligations, AWAs responsibility hereunder shall not apply to such liquidated amount, but instead shall be limited such that AWAs
obligations hereunder shall be calculated and paid each year on the basis of the Indemnified Excess Costs that would have been paid by API during that year had there been no such acceleration or liquidation.



4.2.3 For the purposes hereof, an Insolvency
Event shall occur in relation to a person if:



(i) it admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they fall due;



(ii) it voluntarily commences an action for its liquidation or winding up otherwise than purely for the purposes of a solvent
reconstruction or amalgamation;



(iii) it
consents to the appointment of a receiver (including an administrative receiver or receiver and manager) over the whole or any material part of its assets or undertaking, or, after a 60 day period, is unable to discharge or stay an involuntary
action for such appointment;



(iv) it makes a
general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;



(v) a voluntary or involuntary petition has been filed by or against it pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law (as from time to time amended, re-enacted or replaced); provided, however, that in the case of an involuntary petition,
such petition is not discharged or stayed within 60 days after its filing; or



12



---

(vi) any matter similar or analogous to any of those described above occurs in relation
to it under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction.



4.3 The
Aggregate Indemnification Payments made by AWA pursuant to this Section 4, after giving effect to the Tax Benefit Amount and Recoveries, if applicable, shall constitute reductions to the Purchase Price paid by Buyers in respect of the API Purchase.



4.4 Buyers and API acknowledge that AWAs combined
maximum aggregate liability to Buyers and API hereunder or otherwise in respect of Excess Costs shall not exceed the Excess Costs paid (or otherwise incurred) by API, Buyers or any other Members of the Buyers Group and constituting Indemnified
Excess Costs, net of any Recoveries and any Tax Benefit Amounts.



4.5 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, AWA is not assuming any liability of Buyers or API to third parties in respect of Excess Costs pursuant to this Agreement; instead AWA is only indemnifying Buyers or any
other Member of the Buyers Group in respect thereof. Further, no person or entity, other than the parties to this Agreement and the other Members of the Buyers Group, shall have any rights or obligations under or by reason of this
Agreement, including but not limited to any third party beneficiary rights, nor any right of direct action to enforce this Agreement.



4.6 Further, for purposes of determining whether Buyers have satisfied the First Tier Indemnification Amount (and the point at which API becomes
responsible for the API Excess Costs), the Indemnified Excess Costs shall be deemed to include (i) any payments made by AWA which would have constituted Excess Costs if they had been incurred by API or would have been subject to indemnification
hereunder if incurred by Buyers, and (ii) all Costs and Expenses incurred by AWA.



13



---

5.TAX BENEFITS; RECOVERIES



5.1 Buyers and API hereby agree that they shall use their best efforts to seek and obtain Relief on account of the payment
of Excess Costs or, as the case may be, indemnification payments by Buyers to API, in any such case for the benefit of any Member of the Buyers Group, as expeditiously and as diligently as practicable. If, and to the extent any Member of the
Buyers Group obtains any such Relief, the amount thereof shall be a deduction from AWAs indemnification obligations (i.e. as a Tax Benefit Amount, as set forth in Section 2.1(i) above).



5.1.1 For the purposes hereof,



5.1.1.1 the Tax Benefit Amount
shall mean the actual benefit, stated in dollars, obtained by any Member of the Buyers Group on account of Relief. For the purposes of calculating the Tax Benefit Amount, (i) the applicable Relief shall be determined by reference to the
average Tax rates applicable to such Member of the Buyers Group in the year in which such determination is being made, (ii) such calculation shall be based upon claims for Relief made against Tax either by way of deduction against taxable
profits or otherwise, i.e. when Tax would otherwise have become payable but for Relief, and (iii) the Tax Benefit Amount shall be reduced by any Tax (also determined based upon the average rates of such Member of the Buyers Group) arising by
reason of the deemed repayment or satisfaction of a Loan or otherwise by reason of the structure of the arrangement set forth herein; and if the Tax calculated pursuant to the subsection (iii) exceeds the Tax Benefit Amount, the amount of such
excess shall be paid in cash by AWA to Buyers.



14



---

5.1.1.2 the Buyers shall provide AWA with copies of all tax returns (and underlying work
papers in connection therewith) reflecting the calculation of the Tax Benefit Amount. Upon AWAs request, the Buyers shall provide AWA with access to all such information and to those professional advisers who assisted in the preparation
thereof; provided, however, the disclosure of such tax returns and other information to AWA shall be subject to the terms of Section 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement.



5.1.2 In the event Buyers or API fail to comply fully with their obligations under this Section 5.1 (and in
accordance with Section 5.1.4 below) to claim Relief or fail to utilize such Relief as soon as practical and otherwise as aforesaid, Buyers shall be obligated to repay in cash (subject to the proviso at the end of Section 4.1.2.2(ii)), at the time
when a Tax Benefit Amount would otherwise have been paid pursuant to Section 4.1.2.2, that portion of the Loan Amount equal to the aggregate Tax Benefit Amount that would have been realized by Buyers, API or any other Member of the Buyers
Group had it acted in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement.



5.1.3 In the event that a Loan Amount is deemed repaid by reason of a Tax Benefit Amount (or cash is actually paid to AWA in respect of a Tax Benefit Amount) and the Internal Revenue Service or other Tax authority
subsequently seeks to deny part or all of such Tax Benefit Amount or such Tax Benefit Amount is otherwise decreased by any such Tax authority, AWA shall immediately re-loan to Buyers the amount of any Tax and deficiency interest that is required to
be paid by any Member of the Buyers Group either (i) as a result of a settlement or the decision of an applicable Tax authority or judicial body following a determination not to pursue any appeal thereof, or (ii) to pursue the claim, either in
a different forum, or to contest a state determination, or otherwise.



15



---

Any such re-loan shall be made immediately upon, or concurrently with, any such payment required to be made by any Member of the Buyers Group. Any
amount re-loaned pursuant to this Section 5.1.3 will be repaid in cash forthwith by Buyers to AWA (or applied against AWAs indemnification obligations hereunder) but only if and to the extent that the entitlement to a Tax Benefit Amount in
respect of which an amount is re-loaned hereunder is finally established and a Tax Benefit Amount obtained, failing which such re-loaned sum will become part of the Aggregate Indemnification Amounts pursuant to Section 2 above and shall be deemed
repaid in accordance with Section 4.1.2.2.



5.1.4 The following provisions shall apply in respect of the process under which Members of the Buyers Group shall determine the extent to which they shall claim Relief with respect to each year.



5.1.4.1 On or before March 15 during each year API shall
deliver to AWA written notice (the Tax Relief Notice) setting forth the Relief that it intends to claim with respect to the prior year, and shall thereafter provide AWA with any further information that AWA requests that AWA deems
relevant to its review of such Tax Relief Notice.



5.1.4.2 AWA shall provide API with written notice (the Tax Relief Response Notice) within 30 days following delivery of the Tax Relief Notice, either approving or contesting the Tax Relief Notice; provided that such 30
day period shall be extended, as reasonably necessary, to give effect to requests for further information that are made by AWA pursuant to Section 5.1.4.1 above. AWA shall be deemed to have approved the Tax Relief Notice if it shall not deliver a
timely Tax Relief Response Notice.

5.1.4.3 If AWA contests the Tax Relief Notice, as aforesaid, the parties shall resolve
the resulting dispute in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 below; provided, however, (i) the arbitrator shall in all events be a firm of recognized national expertise in Tax matters, and (ii) the time frames set forth within Article 7
shall be accelerated, as necessary, in order to assure that the Members of the Buyers Group comply with their Tax reporting requirements.



5.1.5 The following further provisions shall apply in respect of the conduct of the Tax affairs of the Members of the Buyers Group
in order to give effect to the provisions of Section 5.1.



5.1.5.1 Buyers shall keep AWA or its designee for tax matters (its Tax Designee) informed of the progress of the Tax affairs of Buyers and the Members of the Buyers Group to the extent
they are relevant to Relief claimed by Buyers or a Member of the Buyers Group and will provide copies of all correspondence and transcripts or summaries of all meetings with the Internal Revenue Service or other Tax authority relevant to the
Relief claimed subject to the terms of Section 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyers shall promptly notify AWA or its Tax Designee in writing (a Tax Notice) following receipt by any Member of
the Buyers Group of any notice of any proposed, pending or threatened Tax audit or examination of or assessment against any Member of the Buyers Group relating to Relief claimed.



5.1.5.2 AWA or its Tax Designee shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to represent Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers Group in an examination, in an administrative appeal and/or in litigation in connection with any Tax



17



---

Notice or otherwise in any contest to the extent relating to Relief claimed (collectively, a Tax Contest) and to employ counsel at
AWAs expense for such purpose (and any such expense shall not be deemed be to an Aggregate Indemnification Payment hereunder). AWA or its Tax Designee may exercise this right by written notice to Buyers at any time following receipt of any Tax
Notice relating to a Tax Contest. If, and following the date that, AWA exercises this right, (i) AWA or its Tax Designee shall have the unlimited right to control all aspects of any such Tax Contest, and (ii) Buyers and the other Members of the
Buyers Group shall be required to cooperate fully with AWA or its Tax Designee and its counsel, including the grant of all necessary powers of attorney.



5.1.5.3 The personnel of Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers Group shall have the right of observation at Buyers
expense in any Tax Contest in which AWA or its Tax Designee exercises its rights to represent a Member of the Buyers Group.



5.1.5.4 If AWA or its Tax Designee does not exercise, or until it exercises, its right to represent Buyers or another Member of the
Buyers Group in connection with a Tax Contest as aforesaid, Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers Group shall consult with and take into account any reasonable submissions made by AWA or its Tax Designee in respect of such Tax
Contest.



5.1.5.5 If AWA or its Tax Designee
does not exercise, or until it exercises, its right to represent Buyers or another Member of the Buyers Group as aforesaid, no settlement, compromise or agreement in respect of any Tax Contest or other disallowance of Relief in respect of
Excess Costs shall be made without the consent of AWA or its Tax Designee, unless AWA or its Tax Designee fails to respond to a request for consent within thirty (30) days after the delivery thereof, in which case the matter may be settled without
the consent of AWA or its Tax Designee.



18



---

5.1.5.6 Upon settlement, compromise or agreement in respect of any Tax Contest or other
disallowance of Relief, or upon entry of decision in litigation from which no appeal is taken, and provided that the provisions of this Section 5.1.4 shall have been complied with, AWA shall indemnify, hold harmless and pay to Buyers and the other
Members of the Buyers Group in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof to the extent the amount thereof had not been re-loaned pursuant to Section 5.1.3 above.



5.1.5.7 The Buyers may elect at any time to assume control over any Tax Contest that AWA had otherwise
elected to control hereunder, in which case, as between AWA and the Buyers hereunder and irrespective of the actual conclusion to the Tax Contest, the applicable Relief will be deemed unchanged from that reflected by the Tax filings that are the
subject of the audit, examination or assessment.



5.2 Buyers
and API hereby agree that they shall use their best efforts to seek to minimize the amount of the Excess Costs and to seek to obtain Recoveries as soon as practicable for the benefit of AWA in accordance with the further provisions of this Section
5.2; provided, however, that nothing contained in this introduction to Section 5.2 shall limit AWAs rights of control as set forth below.



5.2.1 Buyers shall promptly notify AWA in writing (a Claim Notice) following receipt by Buyers or any Member of
the Buyers Group of any written or oral actual or potential claim that could give rise to an Excess Cost or a Recovery. Buyers and API shall, at all times, keep AWA fully informed of all claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AWAs
obligations hereunder shall not be limited by reason of Buyers failure



19



---

to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.2.1 except to the extent that such failure has an adverse effect on AWA (including by ultimately increasing
the amount of such Excess Cost or reducing the amount of any Recovery).



5.2.2 It is the intent of the parties that AWA shall have the exclusive right (but not the obligation) to carry out or direct, in the name and on behalf of the Members of the Buyers Group, the defense of all
claims and proceedings, whether presently existing or hereafter arising, that could potentially give rise to a claim for indemnification by API pursuant to the PDC Agreement or by Buyers hereunder (Claims) and to carry out
or direct all claims for Recoveries in connection therewith. Accordingly, (i) as between AWA and the Members of the Buyers Group, AWA shall have the exclusive right to select counsel to conduct the defense of all such Claims and to pursue all
such Recoveries at AWAs expense, and, subject to Section 5.2.4 below, shall have the exclusive right to direct the conduct and settlement thereof, (ii) Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers Group shall cooperate fully with AWA or
its designee and its counsel, including by granting all necessary powers of attorney, (iii) AWA shall have the right to require the Members of the Buyers Group to do any of the foregoing in accordance with AWAs instructions, and (iv)
Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers Group shall not take any action, nor make any statement, regarding Claims or Recoveries unless directed to do so by AWA, or otherwise as consistent with strategies and policies previously approved by
AWA.



5.2.3 In furtherance of the foregoing,
API shall, upon AWAs request, (i) appoint AWAs designee as the Authorization Administrator to act on behalf of API pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and to approve the incurrence and payment of all



20



---

defense and other costs payable by API pursuant to the NCR Agreements and (ii) assign to AWA (or its designee(s)) all of APIs rights to any or all
Recoveries, whether under agreements with third parties, insurance contracts or otherwise; provided that if any such assignment jeopardizes APIs rights to any such Recoveries or contravenes the express terms of any agreements, instruments or
other arrangements providing API with a right to Recovery, API shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, take such alternative actions as may be required by AWA in order to obtain the equivalent result.



5.2.4 AWA is hereby authorized to consent to a settlement
of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Claim or in connection with any Recovery without the prior written consent of Buyers, Members of the Buyers Group or API, where applicable, unless (a) such settlement or judgment would result
in the payment by any Member of the Buyers Group of $50,000 or more and such payment is not subject to indemnification hereunder or (b) any such settlement, compromise or judgment contains an admission of responsibility or liability by Buyers,
API and/or any other Member of the Buyers Group that (i) would result in the payment by any Member of the Buyers Group of $50,000 or more and such payment would not be subject to indemnification hereunder, or (ii) if the Claim involves
non-monetary damages or liability, would otherwise result in a material adverse effect on any Member of the Buyers Group not covered by AWAs indemnity hereunder, in any which case (x) AWA shall consult with and give due consideration to
APIs position with respect to any such settlement or judgment, and (y) AWA will not complete such settlement without the prior written consent of API, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyers, API and each other Member of the
Buyers Group shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, officers, employees,



21



---

consultants and agents to, provide reasonable cooperation with AWA in the defense of all Claims and prosecution of Recoveries. If AWA does not exercise its
rights of control set forth in Section 5.2.2 hereof, neither API, either Buyer or any other Member of the Buyers Group shall make any waiver, settlement or admission or modify in any respect any oral or written agreement with NCR or any other
person in respect of any Claim or any potential Recoveries without the express prior written approval of AWA, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.



5.2.5 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither API nor any other Member of the Buyers
Group shall:



5.2.5.1 take or fail to take any
actions in contravention of written directives of AWA or in contravention of, or inconsistent with, strategies or polices previously established by AWA which in any such case could have the effect of (i) incurring or increasing the aggregate amount
of Excess Costs, or (ii) diminishing potential Recoveries, or (iii) resulting in or expanding liabilities of API which could become Excess Costs under the PDC Agreement, without in any such case obtaining the prior approval of AWA; or



5.2.5.2 accept or assume any responsibility for Excess
Costs, and shall not acknowledge responsibility therefor, by way of settlement or otherwise, without first obtaining the consent of AWA.



Any obligations voluntarily incurred or payments voluntarily made by API in contravention of this Section 5.2.5 shall not constitute Excess
Costs for the purposes of this Agreement if (x) any such single obligation or payment involves more than $50,000 or (y) the aggregate of such obligations or payments exceed $500,000 or (z) any such obligation or payment otherwise results in a
material detriment to the interests of AWA.



22



---

5.2.6 API hereby agrees to, and Buyers shall ensure that API shall, use its reasonable
best efforts to comply fully with the terms and conditions of any insurance policies or agreements with third parties which may provide for the payment of Excess Costs, and shall further comply with such reasonable written instructions as AWA or its
designee may make relating to the foregoing.



5.2.7 Buyers and API shall make its employees and consultants (including, without limitation, Doug Buth, Paul Karch, Dick Wehrel, Dennis Hultgren, Bill VanDenBrandt and Tami Van Straten as long as each is employed by API or its Affiliates)
available to AWA upon reasonable request, whether in connection with its pursuit of Recoveries and Relief, the defense of Claims or other matters relating to the substance of this Agreement.



5.2.8 The personnel of Buyers and other Members of the
Buyers Group (Observing Buyers) shall have the right of observation at Buyers expense in any Claim or Recovery in which AWA exercises its right of control herein so long as any such observation does not
interfere with AWAs conduct of such Claim or Recovery; AWA shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Observing Buyers the exercise of such observation rights and, if requested by Buyers, AWA shall keep Buyers appraised of the status
of any such Claim or Recovery.



5.3 Neither API nor Buyers
shall transfer or assign any interest of any kind or nature that either possesses in respect of the PDC Agreement without the prior written approval of AWA, and shall not consent to any amendment to, or waiver of rights under, or other



23



---

modification of the rights or obligations or undertakings of any party under, the PDC Agreement. Buyers shall ensure that API fully performs its obligations
under the PDC Agreement and shall seek to enforce its rights thereunder to the fullest extent permitted by law.



5.4 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if AWA shall fail to comply with its material obligations under this Agreement including,
without limitation, those obligations set forth in Sections 2, 4.1 and 6.1, 7.1 and all subsections relating thereto within 45 days after having received notice of such failure (provided that such cure period shall be reduced to no less than 20 days
if any such additional time would result in a material adverse effect to API, the Buyers or any other Member of the Buyers Group), AWAs rights of control under this Section 5 shall be suspended until such time as it shall have remedied
any such failure; and until such time Buyers shall have the right to retain control of the matters set forth herein, subject to AWAs rights of observation and to information disclosure as otherwise available to Buyers hereunder,



5.5 AWA hereby grants to PDC the right to set off against the Value Amount
under the Deferred Payment (as each is defined in the Purchase Agreement) any obligations of AWA that are not satisfied when due (it being understood, however, that the within right of set-off shall not constitute Buyers sole recourse against
AWA in the case of any such failure).

6.1.1 At a
time when the sum of (a) the indemnification payments made by AWA hereunder, (b) all Costs and Expenses incurred by AWA, and (c) any other payments made by AWA which would have been indemnifiable hereunder if they had



24

been incurred by API or Buyers (together, the Fox River Payments), is less than $75,000,000, if the consolidated tangible net
assets of AWA and its subsidiaries and its share of joint ventures and associates (tangible net assets being net assets, adjusted to remove intangible assets, deferred tax assets and
deferred tax liabilities, in each case as calculated on the same basis and using the same methodology employed in the preparation of AWAs statutory accounts or, if such accounts are no longer prepared, on the basis that would be

other discrete transaction outside the ordinary course of business, the following shall apply:

the determination that such deposit is required to made pursuant hereto, but in any event not later than ten (10) days after delivery of a certification pursuant to Section 6.1.1.3 that reflects AWAs obligation to make such escrow deposit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, AWA shall have no obligation to make the payments into escrow required hereunder for so long as AWA is providing the Acceptable Protection Coverage described in Section 6.1.3. At such time

reduced in accordance with the formula attached hereto as Schedule 6.1.2-2; and provided, further, AWA need not obtain or maintain the Later Period Coverage for so long as the Excess Coverage remains in effect, it being understood that, at
AWAs option, it may continue the Excess Coverage in place beyond the Base Debt Period.

6.1.3 During the Base Debt Period, AWA shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and
maintained, Acceptable Protection Coverage pursuant to which the specified amounts described in Schedule 6.1.3 hereof are available to satisfy Aggregate Indemnification Payments in the years set forth therein (the Excess

manner as the arbitrator shall determine to be appropriate under the circumstances.

limitation, the consolidation of any dispute resolution procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the PDC Agreement, AWA shall not be bound, nor shall its rights and obligations under this Agreement be determined,

release, supplement, extension or other change in the terms of all or any of the obligations of Buyers hereunder or for any other reason whatsoever. API hereby waives any requirement of promptness, diligence or notice with respect to the foregoing
