NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows. 
 1. Defined Terms. 
 All definitions contained in Appendix 1 shall apply throughout this
Agreement and each appendix, schedule, exhibit, and other attachment made a part hereof and any Statement of Work entered into pursuant hereto unless, in respect of a Statement of Work, its terms provide a different definition of a term to be used
solely in respect of that Statement of Work. 
 2. Services; Statements of Work. 

The Services to be provided by the parties to each other shall be as set forth in the Statements of Work provided for below 

2.1. Statements of Work. 
 2.1.1. Initial Statements of Work. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties are entering into Statements of Work which describe certain corporate staff Services to be provided
during the term of this Agreement, copies of which are attached as Appendix 2. Each Statement of Work identifies one Party as a Service Provider and the other Party as a Services Recipient in respect of the Services to be provided pursuant to such
Statement of Work, describes the Services to be provided thereunder, and the compensation to be paid therefor, and certain additional information called for in this Agreement. 
 2.1.2. Subsequent Statements of Work. The Parties may, but shall not be required to, from time to time during the term hereof, enter into one or more additional Statements of Work that provide for
the provision by one Party to the other of additional Services not provided for in any other Statement of Work then in effect. Any subsequent Statement of Work shall be substantially in the form of the Statements of Work attached as Appendix 2 and
shall be signed by an authorized representative of each Party. Each Statement of Work shall become effective on the date specified in the Statement of 







 
Work and continue in effect until the expiration date specified in the Statement of Work, but not longer than the then remaining term of this Agreement. 

2.2. Services to and by Affiliates. Services to be provided hereunder shall be provided to the Party designated in the Statement
of Work as the Services Recipient and to all of its Affiliates unless the Statement of Work provides a narrower definition of Services Recipient. A Service Provider may provide Services hereunder directly or through one or more of its Affiliates and
provision of Services by an Affiliate of a Service Provider shall satisfy the obligations of the Service Provider hereunder; provided that, if a Service Provider elects to have Services provided hereunder through one or more of its
Affiliates, the Service Provider shall remain as fully liable for the provision of such Services as though it had provided them directly. 
 2.3. Order of Precedence. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and a Statement of Work, the terms of this Agreement shall control unless the Statement of Work contains a
provision expressly identifying any provision of this Agreement which the parties intend to be superseded by the terms of such Statement of Work, expressing their intent to so modify such provision for purposes of such Statement of Work, setting out
the scope of the modification, and acknowledging that such modification is limited in its effect solely to the Statement of Work in which it is contained. In such event the Statement of Work shall be signed by the Relationship Manager of each Party.

 2.4. Services Inclusive. The descriptions of Services contained in the Statements of Work are intended by the parties
to be descriptive and not exhaustive. To this end, the Services provided pursuant to this Agreement shall include performance of: (i) the functions and activities specifically described in the relevant Statement of Work; (ii) all ancillary
functions and activities related thereto that, even though not specifically identified in the relevant statement of Work, were being performed by Boise Cascade’s relevant staff function in connection with the Services more particularly
described in the Statement of Work prior to the Execution Date; and (iii) additional Services relating to the Services described in such Statement of Work that become necessary for the Service Provider to ensure that it delivers the relevant
service in compliance with Law or that become necessary to the Services Recipient to ensure that it carries out the business functions affected by such Service in compliance with Law, including in each case any new or changed Laws applicable to the
activities involved. 
 2.5. Absolute Obligation. Subject to Sections 22.5, and 25.2 hereof, a Service
Provider’s obligation to provide the Services required by this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and Service Provider may not suspend provision of the Services in the event of a Dispute (including a dispute over payment).

 3. Term of the Agreement. Subject to the provisions of any Section hereof permitting early termination of this Agreement, the
“Initial Term” of this Agreement shall commence as of the Execution Date and end on the third anniversary of the Execution Date. Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue for successive renewal terms of one year each (each such
one-year term, a “Renewal Term”) beginning on the date of the expiration of the Initial Term or the immediately preceding Renewal Term and concluding on the first anniversary of the expiration of such Initial Term or Renewal Term,
unless either party shall have given written notice of non-renewal to the other Party not less than 364 days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term then in effect. When used herein, the “Term” of this Agreement
shall be the Initial Term and each Renewal Term; provided that the “Term” of this Agreement shall terminate on any earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. No expiration or termination of the Term
shall release any party from liability for breach of this Agreement arising prior to such expiration or termination. Absent a provision to the contrary in any Statement of Work, and subject to the provisions of any Section hereof permitting early
termination of this Agreement or any 

  
 2 








 
Statement of Work, the term of each Statement of Work shall commence on the date of its execution by the parties and end on the termination of this Agreement. 

4. Service Provider’s Commitments 
 4.1. Personnel and Facilities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or a Statement of Work, Service Provider shall be responsible during the Term for providing all facilities,
personnel, and other resources necessary for Service Provider’s provision of the Services, and all costs and expenses associated therewith. If provision of any Services to Services Recipient at the level and quality required hereby while
simultaneously providing the same or similar Services to the Service Provider’s own operations requires an expansion of Service Provider’s staff providing such Service, Service Provider shall promptly engage such additional Personnel as
may be necessary to satisfy its and Services Recipient’s combined requirements. Each Party shall make all capital investments in equipment or other assets necessary to deliver or utilize Services provided for hereby or as may be necessary to
maintain the quality of the Services in accordance with the Performance Requirements. All such capital expenditures shall be made at Service Provider’s sole expense and all equipment and other assets with respect to which such capital
expenditures are made shall be owned exclusively by the Service Provider notwithstanding any provision herein for recovery of all or any portion of the Service Provider’s depreciation expense in respect of such equipment from Services
Recipient; provided that if a capital expenditure is required solely to respond to a request for specific incremental services by a Services Recipient, such expenditure shall be made by the Services Recipient and the equipment or other asset
with respect to which such capital expenditures are made shall be exclusively owned by Services Recipient, but Service Provider shall operate such capital item as necessary to provide services hereunder. 

4.2. Improvements and New Technology. If requested by Services Recipient, or where it is essential to continuation of provision of
a Service on a cost effective and efficient basis, Service Provider shall make available to Services Recipient all of the updates, modifications and improvements to the Services that Service Provider provides to its own business units and operations
for Services that are the same as or substantially similar to the Services. Where necessary for continued use and enjoyment of a service by the Services Recipient, Service Provider shall also provide and deliver to Services Recipient all updates,
modifications and improvements to Documentation, Software, processes, materials, and technology on a basis that is no less favorable than the updates, modifications and improvements to the foregoing that Service Provider provides to its own business
units and operations. 
 5. Volume of Services and Changes 
 5.1 Volume of Services. Unless any Statement of Work provides otherwise, the volume of Service to be provided for any particular Service, shall be Services Recipient’s full requirements for
such Service and the Service Provider shall make, on a timely basis, such additions to its staff and equipment necessary to meet such requirements, in combination with its own requirements for Services provided by the same staff and equipment. In
the event that a Services Recipient foresees a need for a material increase or decrease in any Service provided hereunder, it shall give the Service Provider reasonable notice of the scope and timing of such prospective change in Service level, and
the Service Provider shall take reasonable steps to appropriately adjust its capacity to deliver such Service, including addition or reduction of staff, addition of equipment, etc. Additional costs incurred for any expansion of Service shall be
allocated between the parties pursuant to Section 10 hereof and any relevant provision of the specific Statement of Work covering such Service. 
 5.2 Changes in Scope. Changes in scope of any particular Service to be provided hereunder (other than changes in the volume of any particular service) shall be effected as follows: 

  
 3 








 5.2.1 Changes in Legal Requirements. Where a change in the scope of any Service is
necessitated by a change in any statute, regulation, or other legally enforceable requirement or any change in accounting rules applicable to the Services Recipient, the Service Provider shall provide the additional Services necessitated by such
change on the same basis as a change in volume pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof. 
 5.2.2 Changes in Business
Requirements. Where a change in the scope of any Service is necessitated by a change in the business requirements of the Services Recipient, including a decision to enter a new line of business, or to change its administrative procedures, and
the additional Services required thereby are ones that can be accommodated by the Service Provider’s existing staff function (with or without the addition of personnel thereto) without addition of a wholly new staff function, such additional
Service requirement shall be treated the same as a change in Service level under Section 5.1. However, where the required additional Services cannot be so accommodated, they may be added to this Agreement only by execution of a new Statement of
Work on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to each Party; provided that neither Party shall be obligated to enter into any such new Statement of Work. By way of example and without limiting the foregoing, an expansion of scope which
would be governed by the same rules as Section 5.1 would be a change in a Services Recipient’s financial reporting requirements necessitated by a new credit agreement and an example of a change in scope of Services which would not be
governed by the same rules as Section 5.1 would be the acquisition by the Services Recipient of a foreign subsidiary that requires preparation of financial reports in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of a jurisdiction
other than the United States. 
 6. Record Keeping 
 6.1 General. Service Provider shall maintain records which shall include complete and accurate records of any invoices and supporting documentation for all amounts billable to, and payments made
by, Services Recipient under this Agreement. Service Provider shall provide to Services Recipient or its designee documentation and other information relating to each invoice as may be reasonably requested by Services Recipient to verify that the
Charges on such invoice are accurate, complete, and valid in accordance with this Agreement. 
 6.2 Compliance with Purchase
Agreement. Section 8S of the Purchase Agreement shall apply to all records relating to Services Recipient created after the Closing Date pursuant to the Services supplied under this Agreement. The termination or earlier expiration of this
Agreement shall not affect the obligations of a Party pursuant to Section 8S of the Purchase Agreement in respect of records created before the Execution Date or records created pursuant to this Agreement after the Execution Date. 

7. Information Security Requirements. Each Party shall, with respect to the other Party’s Confidential Information, comply with the most
stringent of the information security and privacy policies (i) in effect at Boise Cascade immediately prior to the Execution Date; (ii) required by Law; or (iii) utilized by the Party in possession of such Confidential Information
from time to time. In addition, in the event of any breach of the foregoing which results in the release of material Confidential Information of a Party to third parties not controlled by the releasing Party or to the general public, the Party
responsible for such breach shall promptly notify the other Party as soon as it becomes aware of any such breach, violation or incident. 

8. Service Performance 

8.1. Performance of Services—General Standard. Absent a provision to the contrary in any Statement of Work, Service Provider
shall provide each Service (i) in a professional, workmanlike manner, (ii) in accordance with generally accepted industry standards and (iii) with a standard of care that 

  
 4 








 
is no less than the greater of a standard of care (a) that was observed prior to the Execution Date in providing such Service to Services Recipient, and (b) that Service Provider
observes in providing such Service (or a substantially similar Service) to its own business units and operations, and (iv) in accordance with any specific performance requirements set forth in the applicable Statement of Work. 

8.2. Reperformance. Services Recipient may require Service Provider to correct or re-perform any defective or nonconforming
Services at Service Provider’s sole expense when such re-performance is reasonably necessary and practical under the circumstances, as reasonably determined by Services Recipient. Services Recipient may also require Service Provider to take
appropriate and reasonable steps to ensure that future performance of the Services will be in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the applicable Statements of Work. Service Provider shall undertake any remedial action required by
this Section 8.2 at no additional charge to Services Recipient. 
 8.3. No Preferential Treatment. Service
Provider shall not favor its own business units and operations over those of Services Recipient (including in the level of service, staffing priorities, allocation of Personnel, training and expertise of Personnel, capital expenditures, allocation
of work between internal staff and third party service providers and allocation of available resources upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event) when providing to its own business units and operations Services that are the same as, or
substantially similar to, any Services provided hereunder or which are provided to both Parties by the same Personnel. 
 9. Business
Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan. Any Service Provider providing data processing Services shall maintain a disaster and business continuity plan in respect of its data processing operations that provides a level of protection and service
restoration capability in respect of Services provided to Services Recipient that is not less than that provided by Boise Cascade’s similar plans in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Date. 

10. Charges. 
 10.1.
Direct Fully Allocated Costs. Unless provided to the contrary in a Statement of Work, the Services Recipient shall pay the Service Provider for the Services provided it under each Statement of Work an amount equal to the Service Provider’s
Direct Fully Allocated Cost of providing such Services. When used herein, “Direct Fully Allocated Cost” shall mean an allocable share of all direct costs incurred by Service Provider in the delivery of such Services including
(i) fully loaded wage costs of personnel providing the Services including salary, payroll taxes, benefit costs, incentive compensation costs and other like costs customarily included in fully loaded employment costs; (ii) depreciation
expense on equipment or other assets used in the provision of such Services; (iii) building rent for portions of the building in use for the delivery of such Services; (iv) out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed to or incurred on account of
staff employees providing such Services including travel and entertainment and professional training; (v) payments to third parties for Services utilized in the operation of any staff function providing Services hereunder, excluding third party
expense covered by Section 10.5 or for the provision by Service Provider of Services solely to itself; and (vi) portions of the cost of other staff functions of Service Provider customarily allocated to the staff function providing a
Service, but without duplication of costs already allocated to Services Recipient by such other staff functions. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the “Direct Fully Allocated Cost” of any Service shall not include any of Service
Provider’s general overhead not specifically attributable to a staff function providing Services hereunder, including (a) wage and salary costs for senior executives not providing direct and immediate management of a Service providing
staff function; (b) any portion of Service Provider’s cost of debt or equity financing; (c) any amount accrued, paid, or received as state federal or 

  
 5 








 
local income tax or franchise tax expense or benefit; and (d) indirect costs of any staff function not customarily allocated by Service Provider to its other staff functions. 

Direct Fully Allocated Costs of each staff function providing Services shall be estimated during the first six months and the last six
months of each calendar year on the basis of such staff function’s annual budgeted costs of operations for the first six months and its budget update for the last six months, in each case, as prepared in connection with such staff functions

basis of units of performance specified in the Statement of Work measured and reported monthly by the Service Provider; or (iii) on such other basis as may be specified in the relevant Statement of Work. For the avoidance of doubt, unless the

10.3 Third Party Expenses. To the extent that a Service Provider retains third parties to assist it in the provision of Services
to a Services Recipient and such Services are retained to augment the level of Services which can be provided by its own staff, such third party costs shall be included in its allocation of its direct costs of providing such Services and allocated
between the parties in accordance with clause (v) of Section 10.1 and included in charges in accordance with Section 10.2. Where such third party Services are specifically requested by the Services Recipient or obtained by the Service
Provider because it lacks the relevant expertise on its own staff to provide such Service and does not have a need for such Services itself, such Services shall not be included in the costs and cost allocation provided for above and Services
Recipient shall be required to reimburse expenses incurred by Service Provider for such third party Services. The cost of any such Services shall be billed and paid along with each monthly billing for estimated Direct Fully Allocated Cost of other
Services. 
 10.4 Tax Obligations. Service Provider shall bill to Services Recipient and Services Recipient shall pay to
Service Provider all sales and use taxes applicable to Services provided hereunder. Service Provider shall remit such sales and use taxes to applicable taxing authorities and make all tax filings required thereby. All other Taxes shall be borne by

records that Services Recipient may undertake. In the event any such audit uncovers an overcharge of Services Recipient, then Service Provider shall reimburse Services Recipient for the amount of the overcharge and, if the overcharge is more than

litigation and that Service Provider is performing the Services in respect of such information as an agent of Services Recipient. To the extent that any of the materials or information provided to and from Service Provider as part of the Services

receives any other written communication; provided that the failure of the requesting Party to undertake such actions shall not relieve Service Provider of any obligation it may have to indemnify, except and only to the extent that the

the lead in the defense of a Claim with its own counsel paid for by such Party; provided, however, that if both Parties are named parties in any action relating to such Claim and counsel cannot represent both Parties due to any present

have the right in its discretion to control the defense and settlement of such Claim and the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such Claim without the prior written consent of Service Provider. 

21.4.4 Limitations. Without limiting the foregoing, Service Provider may not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written

from all liability arising out of such commenced or threatened claim or action; and (ii) is solely monetary in nature and does not include remedial measures, a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on

indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article 21. 
 21.6 No Limitation of Other Remedies 

The provisions of this Article 21 are not intended to limit a Party’s rights to seek recovery of damages or pursue other remedies
against the other party for breach of its obligations hereunder. Any such claim shall be determined on the basis of the balance of this Agreement and applicable law. 
 22. Limitations of Liability 
 22.1. Limitation on Direct Damages.
The liability of each Party, its Affiliates, and its and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, members, contractors and licensors, for actual damages (whether a claim therefor is based on warranty, contract, tort
(including negligence or strict liability), statute, or otherwise) connected with or arising or resulting from any performance or nonperformance of Services hereunder shall be limited in the aggregate for all such claims to the Cap. The term
“Cap” shall mean a sum equal to 125% of the total amount paid hereunder by a Services Recipient to the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement during the 12 months preceding the application of the Cap, or if 12 months has not
yet expired, the amount expected to be paid during the first 12 months of this Agreement. The Cap shall be applied on an aggregate basis to all claims asserted during any 12 month period. Each Party agrees that the damage limitations in this

 17 









 22.2. Exclusion of Consequential Damages and Certain Other Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING
ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT MAY BE TO THE CONTRARY (EXCEPT FOR SECTION 22.3), OR AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY, NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE EQUITY HOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
MEMBERS, CONTRACTORS, OR LICENSORS, SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS OR THEIR EQUITY HOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, MEMBERS, CONTRACTORS, OR LICENSORS, FOR CLAIMS FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE,
EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR REVENUE, LOSS OF SAVINGS, OR LOSSES BY REASON OF COST OF CAPITAL, CONNECTED WITH, OR ARISING OR RESULTING FROM, ANY PERFORMANCE OR LACK OF
PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR A PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY),
VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES ACT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PRINCIPLE.

to make payments due under this Agreement (including late fees but subject to the exclusion of certain damages set forth in Section 22.2); (iii) damages resulting from Service Provider’s refusal to provide Termination
Assistance Services; (iv) any liability (including any related indemnifications obligations) caused by or arising from (a) criminal or tortious willful misconduct or criminal or tortious fraud of a Party or such Party’s Personnel (but

subcontractors, or third party suppliers, (c) either Party’s unauthorized use or disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information (but which liability shall be capped in the aggregate, with all other claims subject to a cap
under this Article 22, to an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the Cap), or (d) breach of either Party’s Intellectual Property Rights; or (v) indemnification obligations set forth in Article 22.

 22.4. Affiliate Damages Service Provider hereby acknowledges and agrees that direct damages sustained hereunder by any
Affiliate of Services Recipient shall not be deemed consequential damages vis-a-vis Services Recipient strictly because the Services Recipient’s Affiliate’s damages are claimed through Services Recipient. 

22.5. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-performing Party shall be excused from any further performance or observance of the affected obligation(s) for as
long as such circumstances prevail, and such Party continues to attempt to recommence performance or observance to the greatest extent possible without delay. Service Provider shall allocate its remaining resources to Services Recipient and to its
own internal business units and operations in an equitable manner consistent with the Parties’ allocation of costs and the needs of the Parties at the given time.

Resolution Process may be enforced against the Parties in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 23.5. Choice of Law.
THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF IDAHO EXCLUDING ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES SHALL GOVERN THIS AGREEMENT.

of Work or this Agreement, provided Services Recipient is in compliance with Section 11.3. The covenant of Service Provider to provide the Services is independent of Services Recipient’s covenants under this Agreement, and Service
Provider agrees that it shall not discontinue or threaten to discontinue provision of the Services as a means to force resolution of any Dispute with respect to this Agreement. 

23.7. Resolution of Disputes Relating to Charges. For greater certainty it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the parties
that disputes concerning Charges shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Article 23. If any such dispute is referred to arbitration, the arbitrator in such proceeding shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Appendix

for all reasonable costs and expenses beyond what Services Recipient would have paid Service Provider to provide the applicable goods and Services; provided that, in order to obtain such reimbursement, Services Recipient shall have notified
Service Provider of any such breaches and Service Provider shall not have cured such breach within thirty (30) days or as otherwise set forth in the applicable Statement of Work. 
 25. Termination 
 25.1. Services Recipient’s Termination for
Cause 

  
 19 









 25.1.1. Statement of Work. If Service Provider materially breaches any Statement of
Work, and (i) such breach is incapable of cure, or (ii) with respect to such breaches capable of cure, Service Provider does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice of material breach, Services Recipient may
terminate such Statement of Work under which it receives Services upon written notice to Service Provider. 
 25.1.2.
Agreement. If Service Provider materially breaches this Agreement and (i) such breach is incapable of cure, or (ii) with respect to such breaches capable of cure, Service Provider does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days
after written notice of material breach, Services Recipient may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Service Provider. Termination of this Agreement under this Section 25.1.2 shall result in the termination of all
Statements of Work then in effect under which Services Recipient receives Services. 
 25.1.3. Partial Termination. If
the Services are terminated in part, Service Provider shall continue to provide the remaining Services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 25.2. Service Provider’s Termination Rights. 
 25.2.1. Termination
for Default on Undisputed Charges. If Services Recipient has not paid undisputed invoiced amounts due on three (3) consecutive monthly invoices, or has been past due on undisputed invoiced amounts for a total of one hundred (100) days
in any rolling twelve (12) month period, then Service Provider may notify Services recipient of its intent to terminate this Agreement and any Statement of Work pursuant to this provision. If the Services Recipient is disputing in good faith a
portion of the charges on any invoice and has paid the undisputed amount, such remaining unpaid balance shall not be treated as delinquent for purposes of the foregoing sentence. Following such notice, Services Recipient shall have the opportunity
to cure its default by paying all undisputed amounts due when fifteen (15) days of such notice, and by pre-paying the estimated amount of the following month’s Charges for six (6) consecutive months. Service Provider may terminate
this Agreement and any Statement of Work for cause upon notice if, and only if, Services Recipient fails to cure such default. 

25.2.2. No Other Termination. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 25.2, Services Recipient’s failure to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Services that it receives (but not with respect to the Services that it provides) shall not be grounds for termination of this Agreement or any Statement of Work thereunder by
Service Provider. 
 25.3. Termination for Convenience. 

25.3.1. Termination Rights. Services Recipient may terminate this Agreement or any Statement of Work, in whole or in part, with
respect to the Services that it receives (but not with respect to the Services it provides), for convenience and without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Service Provider. 

25.3.2. Absorption Fee. In the event that Boise Cascade terminates this Agreement and all Statements of Work with respect to the
Services that it receives pursuant to this Section 25.3 during the Initial Term, Boise Cascade shall be required to pay to Boise Paper the Absorption Fee. In the event that Boise Cascade terminates any Statement of Work pursuant to this
Section 25.3 during the Initial Term, Boise Cascade shall pay the percentage (as set forth in such Statement of Work) of the applicable Absorption Fee, and any further Absorption Fee amounts owed by Boise Cascade upon subsequent
termination of this Agreement as a whole shall be reduced by such partial Absorption Fee amounts already paid; provided that if such full termination occurs after a reduction in the Absorption Fee occurring due to the passage of time, as set
out in the definition of such term, the offset provided by this 

  
 20 









 
sentence shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect such overall reduction in the size of the Absorption Fee. Boise Cascade shall not be required to pay an Absorption Fee in the event that it
terminates this Agreement or any Statement of Work for cause pursuant to Section 25.1.1 or Section 25.1.2 or in the event that it terminates this Agreement or any Statement of Work pursuant to this Section 25.3 after the

which is enforceable by each Party and its respective Affiliates, that he or she will hold the Settlement Information confidential and not disclose it to any Party other than the Parties, their respective Affiliates, counsel, and advisors and agents
involved in the Noticed Dispute, except under order of disclosure by a court of competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a written authorization signed by the Party or Parties providing the Settlement Information which is to be disclosed.
