Global Unit shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Units from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Units represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as
appropriate. Any endorsement of a Global Units to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Units represented thereby shall be made by the Unit Agent and the Depositary in accordance with instructions given by the

longer willing or able to act as a depositary for the Global Units and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days, or (b) DTC
notifies the Company that DTC has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. 
 SECTION 3. Execution of Unit
Certificates. Unit Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President, Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer and by a Vice President,

 In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Unit Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Unit
Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Unit Agent, or disposed of by the Company, such Unit Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased to be such officer of
the Company; and any Unit Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Unit Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Unit Certificate, although at the
date of the execution of this Unit Agreement any such person was not such officer. 
 Unit Certificates shall be dated the date of
countersignature by the Unit Agent. 
 SECTION 4. Registration and Countersignature. The Units shall be numbered and shall be
registered on the books of the Company maintained at the principal office of the Unit Agent in Canton, Massachusetts (the “Unit Register”) as they are issued. 
 Unit Certificates shall be, either manually or facsimile signature, countersigned by the Unit Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so
countersigned. The Unit Agent shall, upon written instructions of the Chairman of the Board, the President, Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President, the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of the Company, initially countersign and deliver Units and shall thereafter countersign and deliver Units as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
 The Company and the Unit Agent may deem and treat the registered holders (the “Holders” or “Unitholders”) of the Unit Certificates as the absolute owners thereof (notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Unit Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 5. Transfer and Exchange of Units. The Unit Agent shall from time to time, subject to the limitations of Section 6, register the
transfer of any outstanding Units upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose, upon surrender thereof duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required by it) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Unit Agent, and bearing a medallion signature guarantee by a guarantor institution approved by the Securities Transfer Association, duly executed by the registered Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by
a duly authorized attorney. Any Holder desiring to exchange a Unit Certificate or Certificates shall 

  

 4 








 
make such request in writing delivered to the Unit Agent, and shall surrender, duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required by the Unit Agent) by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Unit Agent, and bearing a medallion signature guarantee by a guarantor institution approved by the Securities Transfer Association, the Unit Certificate or Certificates to be so
exchanged. 
 Upon registration of transfer, the Company shall execute and the Unit Agent shall countersign and deliver by certified mail a
new Unit Certificate or Certificates to the persons entitled thereto. The Unit Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the Holder thereof, when surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which initially
will be the principal office of the Unit Agent in Canton, Massachusetts for another Unit Certificate, or other Unit Certificates of different denominations and of like tenor. 
 No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Unit Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. 
 SECTION 6. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Units. When Units
are presented to the Unit Agent with a request meeting those requirements set forth in Section 5, when required, above: 
 (i) to register the transfer of the Unit; or 
 (ii) to exchange such Unit for an equal number of Units of other
authorized denominations, 
 the Unit Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if (and may refuse to register any transfer or
exchange unless) the requirements under this Agreement as set forth in this Section 6 for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Unit presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange: 
  

	 	(x)	shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Unit Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his or
her representative, duly authorized in writing, and affixed with a signature guarantee from a guarantor participating in a medallion signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association; and 

  

	 	(y)	unless the Private Placement Legend has been removed from the certificate evidencing such Units, such Units shall be accompanied, in the sole discretion of the Company, by the
following additional information and documents, as applicable, it being understood, however, that the Unit Agent need not determine which clause (A) through (F) below is applicable: 

  

	 	(A)	if such Unit is being delivered to the Unit Agent by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in
substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto); or 

  

 5 









	 	(B)	if such Unit is being transferred to a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”)) (a “QIB”) in

	 	(C)	if such Unit is being transferred to an institutional accredited investor within the meaning of subparagraph (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3) or (a)(7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act

	 	(D)	if such Unit is being transferred in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, delivery by the transferor of a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of
Exhibit C hereto), and a Transferee Letter of Representation in connection with Transfers pursuant to Regulation S in the form of Exhibit E hereto; or

transferor (in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto), and an opinion of counsel from the transferee or transferor reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Unit Agent to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities
Act.

 (b) Exchange or Transfer of a Certificated Unit for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Unit. A
Certificated Unit may not be exchanged (including in connection with any transfer of a Unit) by a Holder for a beneficial interest in a Global Unit except upon receipt by the Unit Agent of an opinion of counsel if the Unit is affixed with a
restrictive legend and satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Unit Agent of a Certificated Unit, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Unit Agent, together

 (ii) written instructions directing the Unit Agent to make, or to direct the Depositary to make, an endorsement on the Global Unit to
reflect an increase in the aggregate amount of the Units represented by the Global Unit, 
 then the Unit Agent shall cancel such Certificated Unit and
cause, or direct the Depositary to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Unit Agent the number of Units represented by the Global Unit to be increased accordingly. If no Global
Unit is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Unit Agent shall upon written instructions from the Company authenticate a new Global Unit in the appropriate amount. 
 (c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Units. The transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Units shall be
effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Section 6, the Private Placement Legend, the other provisions of this Agreement (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Unit, including a written order containing registration instructions, an opinion of counsel if the certificate evidencing such Global Units is affixed with a

 8 








 In connection with any such transfer or exchange, the Unit Agent will cause, in accordance with the standing instructions
and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Unit Agent, the aggregate amount of the Global Unit to be reduced accordingly and, following such reduction, the Company will execute and, upon receipt of a countersignature order in the form of
an Officers’ Certificate, the Unit Agent will countersign and deliver to the transferee a Certificated Unit. 
 (ii)
Certificated Units issued in exchange for or in connection with a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Unit pursuant to this Section 6 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant
to instructions from its Direct or Indirect Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Unit Agent in writing. The Unit Agent shall deliver such Certificated Units to the Persons in whose names such Units are so registered and adjust the Global
Unit pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section 6. 
 (e) Restrictions on Transfer or Exchange of Global Units.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in subsection (f) of this Section 6), a Global Unit may not be transferred or exchanged as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (f) Countersignature of Certificated Units in Absence of Depositary. If at any time: 
 (i) the Depositary for the Global Units notifies the Company that the Depositary is no longer willing or able to act as a depositary for
the Global Units and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days; or 
 (ii) the Depositary for the
Global Units notifies the Company that it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, 
 then the Company
will execute, and the Unit Agent will, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate requesting the countersignature and delivery of Certificated Units, countersign and deliver, Certificated Units in an aggregate number equal to the aggregate number
of Units represented by the Global Unit in exchange for such Global Unit. 
 (g) Cancellation or Adjustment of a Global Unit. At such
time as all beneficial interests in a Global Unit have either been exchanged for Certificated Units, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Unit shall be returned to the Company or, upon written order to the Unit Agent in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate from the Company, retained and canceled by the Unit Agent. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Unit is exchanged for Certificated Units, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the
number of Units represented by such Global Units shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Unit by the Unit Agent to reflect such reduction. 
  

 9 








 (h) Legends. 
 (i) Private Placement Legend. Except as provided below, each Unit Certificate evidencing the Units (and all Units issued in
exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear a legend substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit A (the “Private Placement Legend”). Upon any sale or transfer of a Unit pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act in
accordance with this Section 6 or under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Unit Agent shall permit the Holder of a Unit to exchange such Unit for a Unit that does not bear the Private Placement Legend, provided
that, in the case of a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, an opinion of the Company or of counsel to the Company is tendered therewith indicating that there are no impediments to the removal of such Private Placement
Legend under the applicable federal securities laws of the United States. 
 (i) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of
Certificated Units and Global Units. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute, at
the Unit Agent’s request, and the Unit Agent shall authenticate Certificated Units and Global Units. 
 (ii) All
Certificated Units and Global Units issued upon any registration, transfer or exchange of Certificated Units and Global Units shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Certificated Units
and Global Units surrendered upon the registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (iii) Prior to due presentment for registration
of transfer of any Unit, the Unit Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Unit is registered as the absolute owner of such Unit, and neither the Unit Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 SECTION 7. Rule 144A. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in a timely manner (including any extensions permitted by Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation)) in accordance with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder or beneficial owner of Units, make available such information necessary to permit sales pursuant to
Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 
 SECTION 8. Mutilated or Missing Unit Certificates. In case any of the Unit Certificates shall
be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may at its discretion issue and the Unit Agent may countersign, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Unit Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the
Unit Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Unit Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Units, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Unit Agent of 

  

 10 








 
such loss, theft or destruction of such Unit Certificate and indemnity also satisfactory to them, which indemnity shall include a corporate bond of indemnity
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and the Unit Agent.

such text constitutes an unintended conflict with the description of the corresponding provision in such “Description of Units.” Except as otherwise provided in the first sentence of this paragraph (a) of this Section 10, any
amendment or supplement to this Agreement that adversely affects in any material respect the legal rights of the Holder of the Units will require the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Units (excluding Units held by
the Company or any of its Affiliates). 
 (b) After an amendment or modification under this Section 10 becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment or modification. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
amendment or modification. 
 In connection with any amendment or modification under this Section 10, the Company may offer, but shall
not be obligated to offer, to any Holder who consents to such amendment or modification, consideration for such Holder’s consent, so long as such consideration is offered to all Holders. 
 (c) Executed or true and correct copies of any amendment or modification effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 shall be delivered
by the Company to each Holder of outstanding Units forthwith following the date on which the same shall have been executed and delivered by the Holder or Holders of the requisite percentage of outstanding Unit Shares (but only to the extent the
Company has been provided with the addresses for the Holders). 
 SECTION 11. Concerning the Unit Agent. The Unit Agent undertakes the
duties and obligations expressly imposed by this Agreement (and no implied duties) upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the Holders, by their acceptance of Units, shall be bound: 
 (a) The Unit Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any statement contained herein or in the Unit Certificate, except such as describe the
Unit Agent or any action taken by it. 
 (b) The Unit Agent shall be protected and shall not be responsible for and shall incur no liability
to the Company or any Holder for any failure of the Company to comply with the covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Units to be complied with by the Company. 
 (c) The Unit Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself (through its employees) or by or through its attorneys or agents (which shall not
include its employees) and shall not be responsible for the misconduct of any attorney or agent appointed by it without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  


 12 








 (d) The Unit Agent may consult at any time with legal counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for
the Company or an employee of the Unit Agent), and the Unit Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in accordance with the opinion or the
advice of such counsel. 
 (e) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Unit Agent shall deem it necessary or
desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless such evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed conclusively
to be proved and established by a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, one of the Vice Presidents, the Treasurer or the Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Unit Agent; and such certificate shall be full
authorization to the Unit Agent for any action taken or suffered by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 
 (f) The Company agrees to pay the Unit Agent such compensation for all services rendered by the Unit Agent in the performance of its duties under this Agreement as may be separately agreed in writing, to reimburse the Unit Agent for all
expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Unit Agent in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), and to
indemnify the Unit Agent and its agents, employees, directors, officers and affiliates and save it and them harmless against any and all liabilities, losses and expenses, including, without limitation, judgments, costs and counsel fees, for anything
done or omitted by the Unit Agent in the acceptance and performance of its duties under this Agreement, except as a result of the Unit Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, including, without limitation, the costs and
expenses of defending against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) of liability in the premises including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Unit Agent and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (g) The Unit Agent shall be under no obligation to
institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more Holders shall furnish the Unit Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may
be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Unit Agent to take such action as the Unit Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of
the Units may be enforced by the Unit Agent without the possession of any of the Units or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Unit Agent shall be brought
in its name as Unit Agent, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders, as their respective rights or interests may appear. 
  

 13 








 (h) The Unit Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee (“Related
Parties”) of the Unit Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Units or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transactions in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the
Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Unit Agent under this Agreement or such director, officer or employee. Nothing herein shall preclude the Unit Agent or any Related Party from acting in any other capacity for the
Company or for any other legal entity including, without limitation, acting as Transfer Agent to the Company or an affiliate thereof. 
 (i)
The Unit Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions thereof. The Unit Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement except
for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Unit Agent. 
 (j) The Unit Agent will be protected and will not incur any liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in reliance on any notice, resolution, waiver,
consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties. 
 (k) The Unit Agent is hereby authorized to request, and directed to accept, instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the
Chairman of the Board, the President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, any Vice President or the Secretary of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or suffered to be taken by it without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in accordance with instructions of any such officer or officers. 
 (l) By countersigning Unit Certificates or by any other act hereunder the Unit Agent shall not be deemed to make any representations as to validity or authorization of the Units or the Unit Certificates (except as to
its countersignature thereon) or the correctness of the representations of the Company made in any certifications that the Unit Agent receives. 
 (m) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Unit Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 SECTION 12. Change of Unit Agent. The Unit Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving to the Company 30 days’ notice in writing. The Unit Agent may be removed by like
notice to the Unit Agent from the Company. If the Unit Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Unit Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within
a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Unit Agent or by any 

  

 14 








 
Holder (who shall with such notice submit his Unit for inspection by the Company), then any Holder or the removed, resigning or incapacitated Unit Agent may
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Unit Agent. Pending appointment of a successor to the Unit Agent, either by the Company or by such court, the duties of the Unit Agent shall be carried out by the
Company. Any successor unit agent, whether appointed by the Company or such a court, shall be a bank or trust company in good standing, incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and
having at the time of its appointment as unit agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. After appointment, the successor unit agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been
originally named as Unit Agent without further act or deed; but the former Unit Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor unit agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance,
act or deed necessary for such purpose. Failure to file any notice provided for in this Section 12, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Unit Agent or the appointment of
the successor unit agent, as the case may be. In the event of such resignation or removal, the Company or the successor unit agent shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder, written notice of such removal or resignation and the
name and address of such successor unit agent. 
 SECTION 13. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for
the benefit of the Company, the Unit Agent or any Holder of Units shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder. 
 SECTION 14. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the fourth Business Day after the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will terminate on any earlier date upon which all
Units have ceased to be outstanding. 
 SECTION 15. Governing Law. This Agreement and each Unit Certificate issued hereunder shall be
deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of said State, without regard to the conflict of law rules thereof. 
 SECTION 16. Benefits of This Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company,
the Unit Agent and the registered Holders of the Unit Certificates from time to time any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Unit Agent
and the registered Holders of the Unit Certificates. 
 SECTION 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 SECTION 18. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Unit Agent shall not be liable for any delays or
failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its reasonable control including, without limitation, acts of God, terrorist acts, shortage of supply, breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunction of computer facilities, or loss of
data due to power failures or mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval systems, labor difficulties, war, or civil unrest.

 SECTION 19. Priorities. In the event of any conflict, discrepancy, or ambiguity between the terms
and conditions contained in this Agreement and any schedules or attachments hereto, the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall take precedence.

 OF 
 LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORPORATION 
 THIS CERTIFIES THAT
[                            ], or its registered assigns, is the registered holder of Units (the
“Units”). Each Unit represented by this security consists of $1,000 principal at maturity amount of 13% senior secured notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) and one warrant to purchase 49.0559 shares of common stock, par
value $1 per share, of Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (the “Warrants”). The notes and the warrants will trade as Units until the earlier of (x) 180 days after the issue date of the Units and (y) such date as Banc of America

 This Unit Certificate is issued under and in accordance with a Unit Agreement dated as of March 10, 2009 (the “Unit Agreement”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Unit Agent, and is subject
to the terms and provisions contained in the Unit Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions the Holder of this Unit Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Unit Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part
hereof. Reference is hereby made to the Unit Agreement for a full statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations of the Company and the Holders. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Unit Agreement. Reference is made to the Unit Agreement, A copy of the Unit Agreement may be obtained for inspection by the Holder hereof upon written request to the Company at Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, 414 Union St.,
Suite 2000, Nashville, TN 37219, Attn: Treasurer and General Counsel.

Unit Agent, as such term is used in the Unit Agreement. Unit Certificates in registered form, or “Certificated Units”, will only be issued if the Depositary Trust Company notifies the Company that (i) it is no longer willing or
able to act as a depositary for the Global Securities and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days or (ii) it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 The Company and the Unit Agent may deem and treat Holders of the Unit Certificates as the absolute owners thereof (notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Unit Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Notwithstanding any of the above, to the extent a conflict, ambiguity, defect, omission, mistake or inconsistency exists between this Unit Certificate
and the Unit Agreement, the Unit Agreement controls, supercedes and supplements this certificate.

 Re: Units (the “Units”) of Louisiana-Pacific Corporation. 
 This Certificate relates to              Units held by
                             (the “Transferor”).

Section 6(a)(y)(A) of the Unit Agreement). 
  ̈ Such Unit is being transferred to a qualified
institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Act) in reliance on Rule 144A or is being transferred in accordance with Regulation S under the Act.

 in Connection with Transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors] 
 Computershare Trust Company, N.A. 
 250 Royall Street 
 Canton, MA 02021 
 Attn:
Reorganization Departments 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 In connection with our proposed purchase of units (the “Securities”) of Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (the “Company”), we confirm that: 
 1. We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and,
unless so registered, may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Securities to offer, sell or
otherwise transfer such Securities prior to the date which is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor
Securities) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Company, (b) pursuant to a registration statement which has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) for so long as the Securities
are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that purchases for its own account or for the account of
a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an
institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of subparagraph (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3) or (a)(7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act that is acquiring the Securities for its own account or for the account of such an institutional
“accredited investor”, for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act, or (f) pursuant to another available exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and to
compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Securities is proposed to be made pursuant to
clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the unit agent under the Unit Agreement pursuant to which the Securities
were issued (the “Unit Agent”) which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of subparagraph (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3) or (a)(7) of Rule 501 under
the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Securities for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. The Unit Agent and the Company reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer prior to the
Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Securities pursuant to clause (c), (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of a written opinion of counsel, certifications, and or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Unit
Agent. 
  

 D-1 








 2. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3)
or (a)(7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor”, and we are acquiring the Securities for investment purposes and not with a view to, or
for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act and we have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the
Securities, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment for an indefinite period. 
 3. We are acquiring the Securities purchased by us for our own account or for one or more accounts as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion. 
 4. You and your counsel are entitled to rely upon this letter and you are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any
interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
