 AGREEMENT 
 In consideration of the above recitals and the promises set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Appointment. The Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative hereby appoint the Paying Agent as the paying agent to act on the Parent
Companies’ and the Shareholders’ Representative’s behalf with respect to the delivery of the Merger Consideration to the Target Equityholders as provided for in the Merger Agreement, and such other actions that are required to be
taken under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement. 

  

	2.	Delivery of Documents. On or before the date of this Agreement, the Paying Agent will have been provided with a copy of (a) resolutions of the board of directors
and the shareholders of the Target approving the Merger, (b) the notice of special meeting and proxy statement for the Special Meeting that was delivered to the shareholders relating to their consideration of and vote upon the approval of the
Merger Agreement and the Merger (which proxy statement contains a copy of the Merger Agreement), and (c) a list, in electronic spreadsheet form, including the name, address, number of Target Shares held (or Target Shares available for issuance
under the Vested Options or Warrants), proportional share and dollar amount of the Initial Payment Fund and Escrow Amounts and the amount of payroll withholding (if necessary) for each Target Equityholder, and (d) a list of the holders of
Dissenting Shares along with instruction as to the disposition of Dissenting Shares held by such dissenting Target Equityholders should their Certificates (as defined below) be presented to the Paying Agent for payment. 

  

	3.	Initial Mailing to Target Equityholders. Promptly following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will mail the following to each holder of record immediately
prior to the Effective Time of certificate(s) that represented outstanding Target Shares (individually, a “Certificate” and, collectively, the “Certificates”) and to each holder of Warrants:

  

	 	(a)	a letter of transmittal in the form attached as Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement; and 

  

	 	(b)	instructions on how to complete and deliver the letter of transmittal and, as applicable, surrender the Certificates or documentation representing the Warrants
(“Warrant Documents”) to the Paying Agent in exchange for such holder of Target Shares or Warrants’ right to receive his, her, or its portion of the Merger Consideration. 

  

	4.	Initial Payment Fund. Immediately following the Effective Time, the Parent will deposit into an account designated by the Paying Agent the Initial Payment Fund
(the “Initial Payment Fund”), as described in the Flow of Funds Memorandum of even date executed by the Parent, the Target and the Shareholders’ Representative, a copy of which has been delivered to the Paying Agent (the
“Flow of Funds Memorandum”). The Paying Agent will acknowledge receipt of the Initial Payment Fund to the Parties and will 

  

 2 

	 	 
hold, administer and pay the Initial Payment Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not permit any withdrawal of the Initial Payment Fund except pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. The Initial Payment Fund will not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or other judicial process of any creditor, including any creditor of any of the Parties. 

  

	5.	Shareholders Representative Fund. Immediately following the Effective Time, the Parent will deposit into an account designated by the Paying Agent the
Shareholders’ Representative Fund (the “Shareholders’ Representative Fund”) as described in the Flow of Funds Memorandum. The Target Equityholders have appointed Wayne Gullstad as the Shareholders’ Representative to
act on their behalf. The Shareholders’ Representative Fund is controlled by the Shareholders’ Representative and the Paying Agent is entitled to rely upon, and act in accordance with, such certificate, notice, consent or instrument signed
by the Shareholders’ Representative. In the event that the current Shareholders’ Representative is removed, resigns or dies, the Target will immediately give notice to the Paying Agent, and such notice will identify the Person to replace
such individual, if any. 

  

	6.	Request for Information. The Paying Agent will promptly respond to any telephone or mail requests for information relating to completion and delivery of letters
of transmittal and if applicable the surrender of the Certificates and Warrant Documents to the Paying Agent. The Shareholders’ Representative will work with the Paying Agent to determine each Target Equityholder’s correct address or
wiring instructions should the Paying Agent have any mailing or delivery to the Target Equityholder returned. 

  

	7.	Proper Form. The Paying Agent will examine the letters of transmittal and the Certificates or Warrant Documents, if applicable, delivered to the Paying Agent by
each holder of Target Shares or Warrants to ascertain that (a) the letters of transmittal are properly completed and duly executed, (b) the Certificates or Warrant Documents, as applicable, have been duly endorsed or assigned for transfer,
where required, and are otherwise in proper form for surrender, (c) any other documents contemplated by a letter of transmittal are properly completed and duly executed in accordance with the letter of transmittal, (d) the Certificates do
not represent any Dissenting Shares, (e) no payment pursuant to the Merger Agreement was previously made by the Paying Agent with respect to such Target Shares or Target Shares issuable pursuant to such Warrants, as applicable, and
(f) there are no discrepancies between the letters of transmittal and the Target Equityholder list referred to in Section 2(c) of this Agreement. In cases where the letter of transmittal has been improperly completed or executed or where
the Certificates or Warrant Documents, as applicable, are not in proper form for transfer, or if some other irregularity exists in connection with their surrender, including any irregularity relating to stop transfer instructions, the Paying Agent
will endeavor to take such actions as are necessary to cause such irregularity to be corrected. In this regard, the Paying Agent is authorized to waive any irregularity in connection with the letter of transmittal or the surrender of the
Certificates or the Warrant Documents, as applicable, upon the prior approval in writing of any of the officers or agents of the Parent Companies listed in Section 13 of this Agreement. 

  

 3 

	8.	Payment of Merger Consideration and Investment of Funds. 

  

	 	(a)	Payment of the Initial Payment Fund to Holders of Target Shares. The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each holder of Target Shares who has delivered a
completed letter of transmittal and surrendered Certificate(s) representing his, her or its Target Shares the amount set forth on Exhibit A of this Agreement under the column entitled “Amount of Payment from Initial Payment Fund Paid at
Closing.” The Paying Agent will deliver all such amounts payable to such holder of Target Shares in accordance with the delivery method specified by the letter of transmittal. 

  

	 	(b)	Payment of the Initial Payment Fund to Holders of Warrants. The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each holder of Warrants who has delivered a completed
letter of transmittal and has surrendered Warrant Documents, the amount set forth on Exhibit A of this Agreement under the column entitled “Amount of Payment from Initial Payment Fund Paid at Closing,” less any applicable
withholding Taxes (if applicable). The Paying Agent will deliver all such amounts payable to such holder of Warrants in accordance with the delivery method specified by the letter of transmittal. 

  

	 	(c)	Payment of the Escrow Amount and Other Payments to Target Equityholders. Immediately after the Paying Agent receives all or any amounts from the Escrow, the
Shareholders’ Representative Fund or any other amounts to be delivered to the Target Equityholders, the Paying Agent will promptly, consistent with the applicable letter of transmittal, deliver to each Target Equityholder an amount equal to
(i) the sum of (A) the amount of the Escrow Amount, the Shareholders’ Representative Fund or such other funds received by the Paying Agent from the Escrow Agent to be delivered to the Target Equityholders, multiplied by (B) the
percentage set forth on Exhibit A of this Agreement under the column entitled “Proportional Share of Escrow and Other Payments (Fully Diluted Basis),” and (ii) less any applicable withholding Taxes. The Paying Agent will
deliver all such amounts payable to the Target Equityholders in accordance with the delivery method specified by the Target Equityholder’s letter of transmittal. 

  

	9.	Taxes. 

  

	 	(a)	The Paying Agent (i) may withhold any Taxes required to be withheld under any applicable Law from the amount owed to a Target Equityholder under this Agreement,
(ii) pay any non-payroll Taxes required to be paid under any applicable Law from the amount owed to an Target Equityholder under this Agreement, and (iii) deliver such amounts to the Surviving Corporation, the Internal Revenue Service or
any other applicable Governmental Authority or a third party administrative service in satisfaction of any Tax Law requirements. 

  

 4 

	 	(b)	The Paying Agent will prepare and file, as directed by the Parent Companies’ and on the Parent Companies’ or the Surviving Corporation’s behalf, if
required in connection with payments made by the Paying Agent to the Target Equityholders under this Agreement, any appropriate Internal Revenue Service forms Form 1099s. With respect to the determination of the amount of any Tax payments,
(A) the Shareholders’ Representative will cause the Target or other Persons to assist the Paying Agent with such determination and other reasonable actions necessary for distributions made in connection with the Initial Payment Fund and
Section 8(a) and 8(b) of this Agreement, and (B) the Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to assist the Paying Agent with such determination and other reasonable actions necessary for distributions in connection with the Escrow
Amount and Section 8(c) of this Agreement. The Paying Agent shall be responsible for W-2 reporting on disbursements to former holders of Vested Options made under this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	The Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to provide the Paying Agent with the necessary calculations and tax remittance directions as is necessary for the Paying
Agent to complete the necessary withholding and remittance of required payroll Taxes. The Paying Agent will disburse payroll taxes as directed in writing by the Shareholders’ Representative and the Surviving Corporation and as calculated by the
Surviving Corporation and withheld from the payments to Optionholders. The Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative will use their respective best efforts to deliver any information required so that the Paying Agent may withhold payroll
taxes in accordance with applicable Law and direct such payroll Tax amounts to the appropriate Persons. 

  

	10.	Lost Certificate and Warrant Documents. If any Certificate(s) or Warrant Documents representing Warrants have been lost, stolen or destroyed, such holder will
make an affidavit of that fact, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parent Companies and the Paying Agent, claiming that his, her or its Certificate(s) or Warrant Documents, as applicable, have been lost, stolen or destroyed and indemnifying the
Surviving Corporation for such loss, theft or destruction. The Paying Agent will issue to such holder of Target Shares or Warrants, in exchange for such affidavit, such Target Shares or Warrants’ portion of the Merger Consideration in
accordance with the Merger Agreement 

  

	11.	Submission of Certificates by Shareholders Not of Record but Have Acquired Their Shares in Due Course. Certain of the Certificates may be tendered by Target
Equityholders who are holders in due course but are not registered holders of Target Shares. Upon submission of such a Certificate duly endorsed or with assignments duly executed by the registered holder (or his, her or its duly appointed agent,
attorney, executor, administrator, guardian or other fiduciary), together with the requisite guarantee of signature (and evidence of authority if appropriate) and together with evidence of payment of all necessary transfer Taxes, if such Certificate
is accompanied by a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal, the Paying Agent will be entitled to treat such Certificate as if surrendered by the registered holder thereof. 

  

 5 

	12.	Cancellation of Surrendered Certificates and Warrant Documents, Target Equityholders Lists. At the time of the Paying Agent’s delivery of payments as
described in Section 8 above, the Paying Agent will cancel each Certificate or Warrant Document, if applicable, surrendered in exchange for such payment. For the term of this Agreement the Paying Agent will maintain on a continuing basis a list
of those holders of Target Shares or Warrants who have delivered their letter of transmittal and surrendered their Certificates or Warrant Documents, if applicable, and, at the request of the Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative, the
Paying Agent will inform the Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative, as applicable, whether certain holders of Target Shares or Warrants have delivered their letters of transmittal and surrendered their Certificates or Warrant Documents, if
applicable. The Paying Agent will also make available to the Parent such other information as they may reasonably request from time to time. 

  

	13.	Advice of Counsel. 

  

	 	(a)	Advice in Case of Defective Submission. The Paying Agent is authorized to cooperate with and furnish information to the Shareholders’ Representative and the
Parent Companies and will seek and follow, and may rely upon, advice of the Parent Companies or their counsel with respect to any action to be taken by the Paying Agent, if the Paying Agent receives any of the following: 

  

	 	(i)	any request for payment with respect to Certificates or Warrant Documents claimed to be lost or stolen; 

  

	 	(ii)	any submission of Certificates or Warrant Documents not accompanied by a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal or the failure of the holder of Certificates
or Warrants to deliver a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal; 

  

	 	(iii)	any request that payment be made with respect to Target Shares, Vested Options or Warrants to any Person other then the registered holder thereof (except as provided
for in Section 10 above); or 

  

	 	(iv)	any request by a Target Equityholder that the Paying Agent take any action other than that specified in this Agreement with respect to the exchange of his, her or its
Target Shares, Vested Options or Warrants. 

  

	 	(b)	Advice in Other Cases. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13(a) above, the Paying Agent may, when the Paying Agent deems it desirable and after prior
consultation with the Parent Companies, seek advice of the Paying Agent’s own counsel in connection with the Paying Agent’s services as paying agent under this Agreement and the Paying Agent will be entitled in good faith to rely upon any
such advice received. 

  

 6 

	14.	Fees and Expenses. The Paying Agent will deduct from the Initial Payment Fund and other funds held by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Target Equityholders all
fees for the Paying Agent’s services under this Agreement as set forth in Exhibit B of this Agreement. The Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative will pay the reasonable fees and charges for any legal services
rendered by their respective counsel but will not be liable for the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by the Paying Agent unless the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative agree in advance to reimburse the
Paying Agent for such costs. 

  

	15.	Representatives of the Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative or his, her or its legal counsel may give the Paying Agent any
further written instructions in connection with the Paying Agent acting as paying agent under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such instructions will be concurrently delivered to the Parent Companies and the Paying Agent
will not take any action in response to such instructions without the prior written consent of the Parent Companies, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 

  

	16.	Reliance upon Certificates, etc. Subject to obtaining appropriate approvals from the Parent Companies or other Persons as otherwise required in this Agreement,
the Paying Agent will be protected in acting upon any certificate, statement, request, consent, agreement or other instrument whatsoever furnished to the Paying Agent and executed by two or more of the Persons constituting the Shareholders’
Representative, not only as to its due execution and validity and the effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which the Paying Agent will in good faith believe to be genuine or to
have been signed or presented by the proper Persons. 

  

	17.	Indemnification. The Parent and Shareholders’ Representative jointly agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Paying Agent from and against any and all
loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees which Paying Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Paying Agent arising out of or relating in any
way to this Agreement or any transaction to which this Agreement relates, unless such losses, liability, costs, damages and expenses will have been finally adjudicated to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Paying
Agent provided, however, that in no event shall either the Parent Companies on the one hand, or the Shareholders’ Representative on the other hand be liable for more than 50% of the total amount of any such indemnification obligations. The
Paying Agent may consult with counsel of its choice with respect to any question arising under this Agreement, and the Paying Agent will not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of such counsel. The provisions of this
section will survive the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent and the termination of this Agreement. 

  

	18.	 Duties of the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent will have no duties other than those expressly imposed on it by this Agreement, which will be
deemed purely ministerial in nature, and the Paying Agent will under no circumstances be deemed a fiduciary to any

  

 7 

	 	 
Party or other Person. The Paying Agent will not be liable for (a) any act or omission except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) special or consequential
damages, even if the Paying Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages. 

  

	19.	Disagreements. If any disagreement or dispute arises between the Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative concerning the meaning or validity of any
provision under this Agreement or concerning any other matter relating to this Agreement, the Paying Agent: 

  

	 	(a)	will be under no obligation to act, except under process or order of court, or until it has been adequately indemnified and held harmless to its full satisfaction, and
will sustain no liability for its failure to act pending such process, court order or indemnification; and 

  

	 	(b)	may, in its sole and absolute discretion, interplead that portion of deposits it then holds under this Agreement with any court of competent jurisdiction, and name the
Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative as parties in such interpleader action. Upon filing the interpleader action, the Paying Agent will be relieved of all liability as to the funds held under this Agreement and will be entitled
to recover from the Parties its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining such action. In no event will the institution of such interpleader action impair the rights of the Paying Agent described
elsewhere in this Agreement. 

  

	20.	No Financial Obligation. Under no circumstances will the Paying Agent be required to use, risk or advance its own funds in the performance of its duties or the
exercise of its rights under this Agreement. 

  

	21.	Term. Unless the Paying Agent has been notified in writing by the Parent Companies of any earlier termination, the Paying Agent’s appointment as paying
agent under this Agreement will terminate on the date the Paying Agent has delivered to all of the Target Equityholders listed on Exhibit A of this Agreement each payment of the Indemnity Escrow Amount received from the Escrow Agent, or one
year following the receipt of the last payment from the Escrow Agent described on Section 8(c), whichever is earlier. Any remaining balance in any accounts under this Agreement will be delivered to the Surviving Corporation and will thereafter
be held solely for the benefit of and for ultimate distribution to any Target Equityholder who has not theretofore been paid such Target Equityholder’s portion of the Merger Consideration or other funds. 

  

	22.	 Appointment of Successor Paying Agent. The Paying Agent may resign at any time as the paying agent upon 45 days advance written notice to the
Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative. The Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative may by mutual agreement remove the Paying Agent as the paying agent by giving 30 days advance written notice of such removal
to the Paying Agent. In the event of the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent as the paying agent, the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative will appoint a mutually agreeable

  

 8 

	 	 
successor paying agent. The successor paying agent will have the same powers and duties as those conferred upon the Paying Agent, and will agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as
though named as the paying agent in this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent as the paying agent, any and all amounts paid by the Parent Companies to the Paying Agent under this Agreement that have not been paid to the
Target Equityholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be delivered to the successor paying agent, with delivery to be made as of the effective date of the Paying Agent’s resignation or removal. If for any reason delivery to a
successor paying agent is not possible, the Paying Agent will deliver all such amounts to a party mutually agreed upon by the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative, or, in the Paying Agent’s discretion, to a court of
competent jurisdiction. 

  

	23.	Amendments, etc. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the Party against
which enforcement of the provision which is the subject of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. Any inconsistency between this Agreement on the one hand and the Merger Agreement and the letter of transmittal on the other will be
resolved in favor of the Merger Agreement and the letter of transmittal. 

  

	24.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one
instrument, and by facsimile. 

  

	25.	Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of law provision or rule. 

  

	26.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parent Companies, the
Shareholders’ Representative and the Paying Agent and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parent Companies, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Paying Agent, written or oral, to the
extent they related in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement. The Paying Agent will neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document other than this
Agreement, regardless of whether or not a copy and/or original of such agreement is held by the Paying Agent. Further, the Paying Agent will have no duty to know or inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any provision of any such
agreement, instrument or document. This Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to the Paying Agent’s duties contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations of the Paying Agent will be inferred from the terms of this Agreement or any
other agreement, instrument or document. All references in this Agreement to any other agreement are for the convenience of the Parties other than the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent has no duties or obligations with respect thereto.

Agreement, the Transaction Documents (including this Agreement) and the transactions contemplated thereby, including with respect to the signing of any documents and the taking of any actions necessary in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement on behalf of the Target Equityholders. Any Party receiving a certificate, notice, consent or instrument from the Shareholders’ Representative is entitled to rely upon, and act in accordance with, such certificate,
notice, consent or instrument in regards to the rights of the Target Equityholders. If the individual named above as Shareholders’ Representative is removed, resigns or dies, the Target Equityholders will immediately give notice to the Parent
Companies and the Escrow Agent, and such notice will identify the Person to replace such individual. 

  

	2.	Establishment of Escrow. 

  

	 	2.1	Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as the escrow agent under
this Agreement and the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Agent agrees to act as escrow agent and to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	2.2	Escrow. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Parent Companies shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the sum of
$                     (as increased by any contributions or reduced by any disbursements, the “Escrow”) in immediately available
funds. The Escrow Agent will acknowledge receipt of the Escrow to the other Parties and will hold, administer and pay the Escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not permit any withdrawal from the Escrow except pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The Escrow will not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or other judicial process of any creditor, including any creditor of any of the Parties. 

  

	 	2.3	Purpose of Escrow. The Escrow shall be deposited pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of the Merger Agreement and may be subsequently supplemented pursuant to
Section 2.7(d)(i) of the Merger Agreement, upon advance notice to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow will be held and used only for the purposes of serving to satisfy any adjustment to the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7(d) of the
Merger Agreement, to reimburse the Parent for Appraisal Costs pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Merger Agreement, to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Target Equityholders under Section 7 of the Merger Agreement and to pay
certain Taxes pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.5 of the Merger Agreement. 

  

	 	2.4	 Merger Agreement Not Limited by this Agreement. This Agreement and the deposit of the Escrow are without prejudice to and are not in limitation
of any obligations of the Parent Companies, the Target Equityholders or the Shareholders’ Representative in respect to any of the covenants, representations

	 	 
or warranties of the Parent Companies, the Target Equityholders or the Shareholders’ Representative contained in the Merger Agreement. 

  

	3.	Investment of Funds. The Escrow Agent will hold and invest funds held in the Escrow and the Reserved Fund (as defined in Section 4.1), together with
interest accrued thereon, in the Wells Fargo Money Market Deposit Account (“MMDA”). Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and understands that (a) amounts on deposit in MMDA are insured, subject to the applicable rules and
regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), in the basic FDIC insurance amount of $100,000 per depositor, per insured bank (with such deposits to include principal and accrued interest up to a total of
$100,000), and (b) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association has short term debt ratings of “P-1” from Moody’s Investors Service and “A-1+” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. The Escrow Agent will have
the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide fluids necessary to make required payments under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for any loss due to choice of investment, or loss incurred at such liquidation that
is due to fluctuations in market rates or penalties incurred because of early redemption. The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations or advice and that the Parties have full power to
jointly direct investment of the Escrow or the Reserved Fund. Investments will be made promptly following the availability of such funds to the Escrow Agent taking into consideration the regulations and requirements (including investment cut-off
times) of the Federal Reserve wire system, any investment provider and the Escrow Agent. 

  

	4.	Claims Procedures; Reserved Fund. 

  

	 	4.1	 Notice and Claim. If the Parent Companies have determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement that an amount is
or could be due to a Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to any of Sections 2.7(d)(ii), 2.9, 8.1 or 8.5 of the Merger Agreement, then the Parent Companies will, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, jointly notify
the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders’ Representative to such effect in writing. If the Parent Companies have determined in good faith that an amount is or could be due to a Parent Indemnified Party in satisfaction of any indemnification
obligations of the Target Equityholders under Section 7 of the Merger Agreement, the Parent Companies will, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement (with respect to claims made under Section 7.2(a) of the
Merger Agreement) or the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (with respect to claims made under Section 7.2(b) of the Merger Agreement), notify the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders’ Representative to such effect in writing,
which written notice will describe briefly (i) the nature of each such claim, (ii) to the extent then known by the Parent Indemnified Parties, the facts and circumstances which give rise to each such claim, and (iii) the estimated
amount, determined by the Parent Companies in good faith, of the potential or realized Adverse Consequences with respect to each such claim, and the provisions of the Merger Agreement on which each such claim is based. The Escrow Agent will have no
obligation to verify the validity of the claims or that delivery of such notice has been made by the Parent Companies to the Shareholders’ Representative. If a

	 	 
notice of the sort described in this Section 4.1 is delivered to the Escrow Agent on or before the first or third anniversary of the date of this Agreement, as applicable, an amount of the
Escrow equal to 100% of the total of the amounts claimed in such notice will be set aside and retained (to the extent available in the then-remaining Escrow) by the Escrow Agent as a reserve to cover such claim or claims (such amounts so set aside
and reserved, as reduced from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1 or of Section 5 of this Agreement, the “Reserved Fund”). 

  

	 	4.2	Reserved Fund. During the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent will hold and invest the Reserved Fund in the same manner as the Escrow. The Escrow Agent will disburse
the Reserved Fund in the same manner as the Escrow as outlined in Section 5 of this Agreement, but only to cover the claims identified in the notice sent pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement that led to the establishment of the
Reserved Fund. 

  

	5.	Procedures for Disbursement of the Escrow and Reserved Fund. 

  

	 	5.1	Directed Disbursements. The Escrow Agent will cause a portion of the Escrow or the Reserved Fund, as applicable, and to the extent that the amount of funds held
in the Escrow or the Reserved Fund, as applicable, is sufficient for such purpose, promptly (and in no event later than two business days following receipt of either document referred to in (a) or (b) of this Section 5.1), to be delivered
to the Parent Companies or the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Target Equityholders, as applicable, whenever there is delivered to the Escrow Agent an instruction that an amount is due to the Parent Companies under Sections 2.7(d)(ii), 2.9, 7,
8.1 or 8.5 of the Merger Agreement pursuant to a (a) certificate in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement, signed by the Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative or (b) certified copy of a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

  

	 	5.2	Automatic Disbursements. On each of the first, second and third yearly anniversaries of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the
“Closing”), the Escrow Agent will provide to the Paying Agent for payment to the Target Equityholders all of the cash then held by the Escrow Agent in the Escrow and the Reserved Fund, if any remains, subject to each of the
following: 

  

	 	(i)	On the first anniversary of the Closing, an amount equal to the sum of the following will be retained in the Escrow or the Reserved Fund (as applicable):

  

	 	(A)	 an amount equal to (X) the lesser of (1) the sum of $2,500,000 less any amounts paid to the Parent Companies by the Escrow Agent from the
Reserved Fund in satisfaction of claims made by the Parent Companies under Section 4.1 of this Agreement and Section 7.2(b) of the Merger Agreement that have been resolved and a

	 	 
disbursement has been made with respect to such resolution in accordance with Section 5.1 of this Agreement (such amounts, collectively, the “Paid Year 1 Claims”), and
(2) $2,000,000, or (Y) if the amount of any indemnification claims that have been made under Section 4.1 of this Agreement and Section 7.2(b) of the Merger Agreement but which have not yet been resolved and disbursed as of such
anniversary (the “Year 1 Carry Forward Amount”) less the Paid Year 1 Claims is greater than $2,000,000, then the amount of the Year 1 Carry Forward Amount (provided that, in no event will the amount determined pursuant to
this clause (A) exceed $2,500,000); plus 

  

	 	(B)	any amounts included in the Reserved Fund as of such date in respect to claims made under Section 4.1 of this Agreement and Sections 2.7(d)(ii), 2.9, 7.2(a), 8.1
or 8.5 of the Merger Agreement. 

  

	 	(ii)	On the second anniversary of the Closing, an amount equal to the sum of the following will be retained in the Escrow or the Reserved Fund (as applicable):

  

	 	(A)	an amount equal to (X) the lesser of (1) the sum of $2,500,000 less any amounts paid to the Parent Companies by the Escrow Agent from the Reserved Fund in
satisfaction of claims made by the Parent Companies under Section 4.1 of this Agreement and Section 7.2(b) of the Merger Agreement that have been resolved and a disbursement has been made with respect to such resolution in accordance with
Section 5.1 of this Agreement (such amounts, collectively, the “Paid Year 1 and Year 2 Claims”), and (2) $1,500,000, or (Y) if the amount of any indemnification claims that have been made under Section 4.1 of
this Agreement and Section 7.2(b) of the Merger Agreement but which have not yet been resolved and disbursed as of such anniversary (the “Carry Forward Amount”) less the Paid Year 1 and Year 2 Claims is greater than
$1,500,000, then the amount of the Carry Forward Amount (provided that, in no event will the amount determined pursuant to this clause (A) exceed $2,500,000); plus 

  

	 	(B)	any amounts included in the Reserved Fund as of such date in respect to claims made under Section 4.1 of this Agreement and Sections 2.7(d)(ii), 2.9, 7.2(a), 8.1
or 8.5 of the Merger Agreement. 

	 	(iii)	On the third anniversary of the Closing, an amount equal to the sum of the following will be retained in the Escrow or the Reserved Fund (as applicable):

  

	 	(A)	the amount of any unresolved claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties under Section 4.1 of this Agreement and Section 7.2(b) of the Merger Agreement
(provided that, in no event will the amount determined pursuant to this clause (A) exceed $2,500,000); plus 

  

	 	(B)	any amounts included in the Reserved Fund as of such date in respect to claims made under Section 4.1 of this Agreement and Sections 2.7(d)(ii), 2.9, 7.2(a), 8.1
or 8.5 of the Merger Agreement. 

  

	 	5.3	Inclusion into Shareholders’ Representative Fund. To the extent that a portion of the Escrow or the Reserved Fund may be disbursed to the Paying Agent in
accordance with any of the foregoing, if the Shareholders’ Representative delivers a written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Parent, then the Escrow Agent will deliver to the account of the Shareholders’ Representative Fund and
designated by the Shareholders’ Representative in such notice any such portion of the Escrow or the Reserved Fund eligible for disbursernent (including interest thereon) to be used in connection with the Shareholders’ Representative’s
duties pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Transaction Documents. If a Parent Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification against the Target Equityholders in accordance with this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, then the
Shareholders’ Representative, in his, her or its sole and absolute discretion, may also request that the Escrow Agent deliver any interest earned to such date on the Escrow or the Reserved Fund and not theretofore released by the Escrow Agent
to the Shareholders’ Representative for deposit into the Shareholders’ Representative Fund, and such interest will become a part of the Shareholders’ Representative Fund upon such delivery. The Shareholders’ Representative will
indemnify and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses suffered or incurred by any of them arising from or relating to any claim by any Target Equityholder with
respect to any finds delivered or released to the Shareholders’ Representative as contemplated in this Section 5.3. 

  

	6.	The Escrow Agent. 

  

	 	6.1	 Indemnification of the Escrow Agent. Subject to Section 6.2 of this Agreement, the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative
jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable counsel fees which the Escrow Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action,
claim or proceeding brought against the Escrow Agent arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or any transaction to which this Agreement relates, unless such losses, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses will have been finally
adjudicated to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Escrow Agent. As between the Parent Companies on the one hand, and the Shareholders’ Representative on the other hand, each shall each be responsible for 50% of
the total amount of any such indemnification obligations. The Escrow Agent may

	 	 
consult and hire counsel of its choice with respect to any question arising under this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent will not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice
of such counsel. The provisions of this Section 6.1 will survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Agreement. 

  

	 	6.2	Duties of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent will have no duties other than those expressly imposed on it in this Agreement, which will be deemed purely
ministerial in nature, and will under no circumstances be deemed to be a fiduciary to any Party or any other person and will not be liable for (a) any act or omission except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or
(b) special or consequential damages, even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action. Under no circumstances shall the Escrow Agent be required to risk or advance its own funds.

  

	 	6.3	Escrow Agent Instructions. The Escrow Agent will at any time and from time to time take such action under this Agreement with respect to the Escrow or the
Reserved Fund as is agreed to in writing by the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative, provided that the Escrow Agent will first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’
Representative with respect to any of its reasonable costs or expenses that might be involved provided, however, that in no event shall either the Parent Companies on the one hand, or the Shareholders’ Representative on the other hand be liable
for more than 50% of the total amount of any such indemnification obligations. In the event that the Escrow Agent will be uncertain as to any duties or responsibilities hereunder or will receive instructions from any of the Parties hereto with
respect to the Escrow or the Reserved Fund which in the Escrow Agent’s belief are in conflict with other instructions previously received by the Escrow Agent or in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, then the Escrow Agent
will be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation will be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it will be directed to do so in writing by the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative or by a
final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in proceedings which the Escrow Agent or any other party hereto will be entitled to commence. The Escrow Agent may also file an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction,
and upon the filing thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrow and the Reserved Fund, and shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such
interpleader action. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act on any agreement, court order, or arbitration decision resulting from such interpleader action without further question, inquiry, or consent. 

  

	 	6.4	Delivery of Statements of Account. The Escrow Agent will provide monthly statements of account to each of the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’
Representative. 

	 	6.5	Appointment of Successor Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon 45 days advance written notice to the Parent Companies and the
Shareholders’ Representative. The Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative may by mutual agreement remove the Escrow Agent by giving 30 days advance written notice of such removal to the Escrow Agent. In the event of the
resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent, the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative will appoint a mutually agreeable successor escrow agent. The successor escrow agent will have the same powers and duties as those conferred
upon the Escrow Agent, and will agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as though named as the escrow agent in this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent, the Escrow and the Reserved Fund will be delivered to the
successor escrow agent, with delivery to be made as of the effective date of the Escrow Agent’s resignation or removal. If for any reason delivery to a successor escrow agent is not possible, the Escrow Agent will deliver the Escrow to a party
mutually agreed upon by the Parent Companies and the Shareholders’ Representative. From the date upon which the Escrow Agent sends notice of any resignation until the acceptance by a successor escrow agent appointed as provided herein, the
Escrow Agent’s sole obligation under this Agreement will be to hold the Escrow and the Reserved Fund delivered to it in accordance with this Agreement. 

  

	 	6.6	Compensation of Escrow Agent. Upon the the establishment of the Escrow, the Escrow Agent will deduct from the Escrow the amount described on Exhibit B of
this Agreement as compensation for the services to be rendered by the Escrow Agent. In the event that the Escrow Agent renders any extraordinary service not originally contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, ,then the Escrow Agent shall be
compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, occasioned by any extraordinary delay, controversy, litigation or event. If any amount due to the Escrow
Agent hereunder is not paid within thirty (30) days of the date due, the Escrow Agent in its sole discretion may charge interest on such amount up to the highest rate permitted by applicable law. The Escrow Agent shall have, and is hereby
granted, a prior lien upon the Escrow and Reserve Fund with respect to its unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights, superior to the interests of any other persons or entities and is hereby granted the right to set
off and deduct any unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights from the Escrow and Reserve Fund. 

  

	7.	Tax Treatment of Escrow. 

  

	 	7.1	The Escrow and the Reserved Fund will be treated for federal income tax purposes in the manner provided in Section 468B(g) of the Code. 

 

	 	7.2	 The Parent will be treated as the owner of the Escrow and the Reserved Fund and none of the Target Equityholders will have any ownership interest in
the Escrow or the Reserved Fund until such time that any portion of the Escrow or the Reserved Fund is distributed to the eligible Target Equityholders pursuant to the

	 	 
terms of the Paying Agent Agreement. Any distribution of the Escrow or the Reserved Fund by the Escrow Agent in its capacity as the Paying Agent and pursuant to the terms of the Paying Agent
Agreement to a Target Equityholder will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a deferred payment of the Merger Consideration. 

  

	 	7.3	The Parties agree that the Target Equityholders will report all income, if any, that is earned on, or derived from, the Escrow or the Reserved Fund as their income in
the taxable year or years in which such income is properly includible and pay any taxes attributable thereto. The Escrow Agent will report to the appropriate taxing authorities and to the Target Equityholders any amounts required by applicable law.
To the extent not already provided to or obtained by the Paying Agent, the Shareholders’ Representative will provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and
documents that the Escrow Agent may request and the pro-rata share of the income to be reported for each. The Parties understand that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be
required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of monies or other property held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to
this Agreement. 

  

	8.	Miscellaneous. 

  

	 	8.1	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parent Companies, the
Shareholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parent Companies, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent, written or oral, to the
extent they related in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent will neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document other than this
Agreement, including without limitation the Merger Agreement and the Transaction Documents, regardless of whether or not a copy and/or original of such agreement is held by the Escrow Agent. Further, the Escrow Agent will have no duty to know or
inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any provision of any such agreement, instrument or document. This Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to the Escrow Agent’s duties contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations
of the Escrow Agent will be inferred from the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document. All references in this Agreement to any other agreement are for the convenience of the Parties other than the Escrow Agent, and the
Escrow Agent has no duties or obligations with respect thereto.

	A.	Surrender of Certificates or Warrant Documents  

 Enclosed are one or more stock certificates representing shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of CityForest Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“CityForest”), or one
or more documents representing warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock (“Warrants”). Reference is made to that certain Merger Agreement dated as of February     , 2007 among Cellu Tissue Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Cellu City Acquisition Corporation, a Minnesota corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and CityForest (as in effect from time to time, the “Merger
Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. 
 In connection with the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into CityForest, with CityForest as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Corporation”) pursuant the
Merger Agreement, as approved by the requisite vote of the stockholders of CityForest and the Board of Directors of CityForest, the undersigned hereby surrenders each of the following: 
 (i) the certificate(s) noted above representing shares of Common Stock owned by the undersigned in exchange for, and for the purpose of,
receiving, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) or, if the same is not surrendered prior to the Effective Time, as soon as practicable after surrender, the cash amount (“Cash”) equal to the
product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock surrendered herewith by (y) the Per Share Cash Amount, and the right to receive such other consideration, if and when payable, as provided in the Merger
Agreement; and/or 
 (ii) the warrant document(s) representing the Warrants noted above owned by the undersigned in exchange
for, and for the purpose of, receiving at the Effective Time, or, if the same is not surrendered prior to the Effective Time, as soon as practicable after surrender, Cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of each Warrant held by such warrant holder by (y) the difference of (A) the Per Share Cash Amount less (B) the exercise price per share of each such Warrant, and the right to
receive such other consideration, if and when payable, as provided in the Merger Agreement. 
 The undersigned will, upon
request, execute any additional documents reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the surrender and exchange of the enclosed stock certificates representing shares of Common Stock or warrant documents representing Warrants. The undersigned
hereby irrevocably appoints the Paying Agent as agent of the undersigned, to effect the exchange pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Instructions attached hereto. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal
shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. 
 Submission of the stock certificate(s) or warrant document(s) described below is subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth
in the Merger Agreement and the Instructions attached hereto. The undersigned does hereby consent to the treatment of the undersigned’s Common Stock and Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. 
  

	B.	Representations and Warranties and Agreements of the Undersigned Regarding the Escrow Account Shareholders’ Representative Fund and the Shareholders’
Representative  

 The undersigned has received and reviewed a copy of the Merger Agreement and, in accordance
with and subject to the provisions thereof, acknowledges and agrees that (i) pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of the Merger Agreement, Parent will deposit into escrow (the “Escrow Amount”) an amount equal to ten percent
(10.0%) of the Enterprise Value for the purpose of securing certain indemnification and other obligations under the Merger Agreement, including the undersigned’s pro rata portion thereof, and (ii) pursuant to Section 2.4(c) of
the Merger Agreement, Parent will deposit into an account designated by the Shareholders’ Representative cash in the amount of [$            ] (the “Shareholders’
Representative Fund”) for use by the Shareholders’ Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 10 of the Merger Agreement. 
 The undersigned hereby confirms the appointment of Mr. Wayne Gullstad as the Shareholders’ Representative with respect to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement. The undersigned hereby further confirms and agrees as follows: 
 (i) No bond will be required of the
Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative will not receive any compensation for the first 50 hours of his, her, or its services. Thereafter, the Shareholders’ Representative, at his, her or its discretion, cause
the Paying Agent to compensate the Shareholders’ Representative for each additional hour of service at a rate of $100 per hour, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such compensation shall result in any obligation of Parent or the
Merger Sub to deposit additional amounts with the Paying Agent. To the extent that a portion of the Escrow or the Reserved Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) may be disbursed to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, if the
Shareholders’ Representative delivers a written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Parent, then the Escrow Agent will deliver to the account of the Shareholders’ Representative Fund and designated by the Shareholders’ Representative
in such notice any such portion of the Escrow

  

 2 

 
or the Reserved Fund eligible for disbursement (including interest thereon) to be used in connection with the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties pursuant to this Agreement and the
Transactions Documents. If a Parent Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification against the Target Equityholders in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, then the Shareholders’ Representative, in his, her or its sole
and absolute discretion, may also request that the Escrow Agent deliver any interest earned to such date on the Escrow or the Reserved Fund and not theretofore released by the Escrow Agent to the Shareholders’ Representative for deposit into
the Shareholders’ Representative Fund, and such interest will become a part of the Shareholders’ Representative Fund upon such delivery. 
 (ii) Any person acting as the Shareholders’ Representative may from time to time be removed and replaced upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to the Parent. No more than one natural person
may serve as the Shareholders’ Representative at any one time. No person acting as the Shareholders’ Representative may be removed or replaced unless the holders of greater than the aggregate of a two-thirds interest of the Escrow agree to
such removal and to the identity of the substituted person to act as the Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative may not resign until the vacancy in the position of the Shareholders’ Representative is filled by
the affirmative agreement of the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow. The Parent may assume that any incumbent Shareholders’ Representative continues to serve in such capacity until the Parent is notified in writing of a replacement
and receives evidence satisfactory to it of such removal and replacement. 
 (iii) The Shareholders’ Representative is
authorized, for and on behalf of each of the Target Equityholders, including the undersigned, to make and deliver any certificate, notice, consent or instrument required or permitted to be made or delivered under the Merger Agreement or the
Transaction Documents, which the Shareholders’ Representative determine in his or her sole discretion to be necessary, appropriate or desirable. 
 (iv) The Shareholders’ Representative may use the Shareholders’ Representative Fund for any reasonable costs and expenses of the Shareholders’ Representative related to the Merger Agreement
or the Transaction Documents, including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and any amounts to be paid therefrom pursuant to Section 2.7(c) of the Merger Agreement. Following the expiration of the Escrow Period and the
satisfaction of any amounts to be paid from the Shareholders Representative Fund pursuant to Section 2.7(c) of the Merger Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative will deliver the remains of the Shareholders’ Representative Fund,
if any, to the Paying Agent, who will then distribute this amount to the Target Equityholders in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement and Section 2.5(d) of the Merger Agreement. 
 (v) Any action taken by or on behalf of the Shareholders’ Representative will represent a decision of the Target Equityholders in the
Escrow, including the undersigned, and will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Target Equityholders. 
 (vi) Each Target
Equityholder, including the undersigned, will, out of their own personal funds and not out of the funds in the Escrow, indemnify the Shareholders’ Representative and hold the Shareholders’ Representative harmless against any Adverse
Consequences arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties described in this Agreement, except for any actions taken by or on behalf of the Shareholders’
Representative that involve willful misconduct on the part of the Shareholders’ Representative. 
 (vii) The Escrow Agent,
the Parent and the Surviving Corporation will have no Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with any action taken by or on behalf of the Shareholders’ Representative. The Escrow Agent and the Parent may rely upon any
action taken by or on behalf of the Shareholders’ Representative as being an action taken by each Target Equityholder.

 IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION 
 Under U.S. federal income tax law, a holder whose shares of Common Stock or Warrants are surrendered herewith is required to provide the
Paying Agent with such shareholder’s or warrant holder’s current Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”). If such holder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If the Paying Agent is not provided with the
correct TIN, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the Paying Agent may be required to withhold up to 28% of any cash payment made to the holder with respect to shares of Common Stock or
Warrants surrendered in connection with the Merger Agreement (“ backup withholding”). Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax
withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund from the Internal Revenue Service may be obtained. To prevent backup withholding on any cash payment made to a holder with respect to shares of Common Stock or Warrants
surrendered in connection with the Merger Agreement, the holder is required to notify the Paying Agent of his or her correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 below and certifying that the TIN provided on Substitute Form W-9 is correct. In
addition, the holder must complete Part 2 of the Substitute W-9, and date and sign as indicated. If the holder does not have a TIN, the holder should write “Applied For” ‘in the space provided for the TIN. If the holder does not
provide the Paying Agent with a certified TIN within 60 days, the Paying Agent must backup withhold up to 28% of all cash payments made to the holder. 
 Certain holders are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order for a foreign holder to be exempt, that holder must submit an Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, signed
under penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual’s exempt status. Such statements can be obtained from the Paying Agent. See the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number or Substitute Form W-9 for
additional instructions. 
 What to Give the Paying Agent 
 United States Holders. A United States holder of Common Stock or Warrants is required to give the Paying Agent the social security number or employer identification number of the record owner of
the shares of Common Stock or Warrants being surrendered for payment in connection with the Merger Agreement. If the stock certificates for Common Stock or warrant certificates are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner,
consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for additional guidance on which number to report. 
 PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR OTHER TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ON THIS SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 AND CERTIFY THEREIN THAT YOU ARE NOT SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING. FAILURE TO COMPLETE AND
RETURN THIS FORM MAY RESULT IN BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF UP TO 28% OF ANY CASH PAYMENT MADE TO YOU PURSUANT TO THE MERGER. For assistance in completing this form, see the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on
Substitute FORM W-9 or call the Paying Agent at the number provided on the cover page of this Letter of Transmittal. 
  

			
	 Name(s) as shown above of registered owners of stock
certificate(s) for shares of Common Stock or warrant certificate(s) representing Warrant(s). (If joint ownership, list first and circle the name of the person or entity whose taxpayer identification number you enter in Part I below).

	Part II—Payees exempt
from backup withholding, please see the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9.
	 Part III—Certification. Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:
  
 (1) The number shown on this form is my correct Taxpayer Identification Number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me), and
  
 (2) I am not subject to backup withholding because (a) I am exempt from backup
withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no
longer subject to backup withholding.
  
 Certificate Instructions: You must
cross out Item(s) above if you have been notified by the IRS that you are currently subject to backup withholding because of underreporting interest or dividends on your tax return.

 Non-United States Holders. A non-United States holder of Common Stock or Warrants is
required to represent to the Paying Agent that it is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) and provide its name and address on a properly executed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (“Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding”). 
 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 
 1. Letter of Transmittal. This Letter of Transmittal must be properly completed,
duly executed, dated, and delivered or mailed to the Paying Agent at the appropriate address set forth on the first page of this Letter of Transmittal together with (a) the Common Stock certificate(s) or warrant document(s) you are surrendering
in order to exchange shares of Common Stock or Warrants for Cash (such Cash is sometimes referred to herein as the “Payment” and (b) any other required documents. 
 The method of delivering Common Stock certificate(s) or warrant document(s) is at the option and the risk of the holder. Common Stock or
Warrants may be surrendered in person or by mail. IF SENT BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL, PROPERTY INSURED, WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, IS RECOMMENDED. 
 UNTIL A HOLDER HAS SURRENDERED HIS OR HER STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) OR WARRANT DOCUMENT(S), OR A SATISFACTORY AFFIDAVIT AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION RELATING TO THE LOSS OF STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) OR WARRANT
DOCUMENT(S) TO THE PAYING AGENT, HE, SHE OR IT WILL NOT RECEIVE THE PAYMENT AND NO INTEREST WILL BE PAYABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE PAYMENT ON SURRENDER OF COMMON STOCK OR WARRANTS. 
 You should complete one Letter of Transmittal listing all Common Stock and Warrants registered in the same name. If any shares of Common
Stock are registered in different ways on several certificates, or Warrants are issued in different ways on several warrant certificates, you will receive and will need to complete, sign, and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there
are different registrations of certificates or Warrants. 
 2. Signatures. The signature (or signatures, in the case of
certificates owned by two or more joint holders) on this Letter of Transmittal should correspond exactly with the name(s) as written on the face of Common Stock certificate(s) or warrant document(s) surrendered unless the shares described on this
Letter of Transmittal have been assigned by the registered holder or holders thereof, in which event that Letter of Transmittal should be signed in exactly the same form as the name(s) of the last transferee(s) indicated on the transfers attached to
or endorsed on the certificate(s) or Warrant(s). If the “Special Issuance Instructions” box is completed, then the signature(s) on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed as specified in Instruction 3 below. 
 If this Letter of Transmittal, or any endorsement or stock power required by Instruction 3, is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator,
guardian, officer of a corporation, attorney-in-fact or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, the person signing must give his or her full title in such capacity and enclose appropriate evidence of his or her authority to so
act. If additional documents are required by the Paying Agent, you will be advised by letter. 
 3. Endorsement of
Certificate(s); Signature Guarantee. If the Cash is to be issued in the same name as the registered holder(s) of the surrendered Common Stock certificate(s), such certificate(s) need NOT be endorsed or accompanied by separate stock powers and
the signature(s) need NOT be guaranteed. If, however, a check is to be issued in a name different from that of the registered holder(s), then (i) Common Stock certificate(s) must be duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in
either case, signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on such certificate(s), (ii) the signature of endorsement for transfer on such certificate or separate stock powers must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor
institution (bank, stockbroker, savings and loan association or credit union with membership in an approved signature guarantee medallion program), pursuant to Rule 17Ad-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, and
(iii) the person surrendering such certificate(s) must remit to the Paying Agent the amount of any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the issuance to a person other than the registered holder(s) of the certificate(s) surrendered, or
establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. In such case the “Special Issuance Instructions” box must be completed and the signature(s) on this Letter of Transmittal must be
guaranteed as specified above. 
 4. Lost or Destroyed Common Stock Certificates or Warrants. In the event that any

 FIRPTA CERTIFICATE 
 OF 
 CITYFOREST
CORPORATION 
 Under Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), withholding of
U.S. tax is generally required by a transferee upon any disposition of a “United States real property interest” (as defined in section 897(c) of the Code) by a foreign person. The undersigned, as an officer of CityForest Corporation (the
“Company”), makes the following certifications in this statement (the “Statement”) to Cellu Tissue Holdings Inc. (“Buyer”) in order to establish that no such withholding is required by Buyer in connection with the
merger of Cellu City Acquisition Corporation with and into the Company (and the resulting acquisition by Buyer of shares of common stock of the Company held by certain shareholders of the Company (the “Sellers”) in exchange for cash (the
“Shares”)): 
 1. I am an officer of the Company and am authorized to execute and deliver this Statement on behalf of the Company;

 2. The Shares do not constitute “United States real property interests” (as defined in section 897(c) of the Code); 
 3. Certification 2, above, is based on a determination by the Company that the Company is not as of the date of this Statement and has not been at any time
during any part of the five-year period ending on the date of this Statement (or, if shorter, during any part of the period during which any of the Shares were held by any of the Sellers) a “United States real property holding corporation”
(as defined in section 897(c)(2) of the Code). 
 I understand that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by
transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both. 
 [remainder of

	Note 15	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) 

 The effort to restructure the Company’s subordinated debt obligations was not completed as planned in 2003. Although Enron Trade and
Capital Resources agreed to the Company’s discounted offer, the finalization was delayed when it was discovered Enron had sold the Income Participation Certificate (IPC) portion of the Junior Subordinated Debt to a third party. Because the IPC
is the lowest subordinated piece of the debt, negotiations to resolve this place cannot occur until the restructured subordinated debt is in place. Both the Senior Lender and the proposed new Subordinated Lender have delayed the process until the
Company is able to alleviate any concerns regarding the IPC. When resolved, the Company will finalize the documentation of the agreements that will allow the restructuring process to be completed. 
 The Company’s efforts to restructure the subordinated debt at a discount and its efforts to reduce operating costs position the Company
to endure current weak market conditions and to be able to benefit from improving market conditions.

	Note 1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

 Principal Business Activity 
 CityForest Corporation (the
“Company”) was formed on November 8, 1991. The primary operations of the Company commenced on August 27, 1993, through the acquisition of certain assets of Pope & Talbot, Wisconsin, Inc. (“Pope & Talbot”). The
Company is primarily engaged in producing parent rolls of tissue paper from recycled paper for customers throughout the United States. 
 Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements 
 The preparation of the accompanying financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. 
 Accounts Receivable 
 Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable
uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection
efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Changes in the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements. 
 The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will
not be collected. Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances that exceed 60 days from invoice date and, based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be
collected. The allowance for potential credit losses was $60,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and is reflected as an offset to accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets.

 Inventories 
 Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with
cost determined on a weighted average basis, which approximates first in, first out (FIFO) basis. 
 Property, Plant,
Equipment, and Depreciation 
 Property, plant, and equipment are valued at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to
expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property, plant, and equipment are reflected in income. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

  

			
	Buildings	  	20-40 years
	Machinery and equipment	  	5-20 years
	Furniture and office equipment	  	3-10 years

 The Company has included all depreciation expense in operating expenses. 

Debt Issuance Costs 
 Debt issuance costs have been capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense over the related debt terms using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. 
 Revenue Recognition 
 Product sales are recognized when the product is shipped and all significant obligations of the Company have been satisfied.

	Note 1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

 Stock Compensation Plan 
 Generally accepted accounting principles encourage
all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually
the vesting period. However, they also allow an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the fair value of the stock at
the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. 
 The Company has elected
to adopt the intrinsic value based method. Stock options issued under the Company’s stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and no compensation cost is recognized for them. Had compensation cost been determined on the basis
of fair value, net income would have changed for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 as follows: 
  

									
	 	  	2005	 	 	2004	 
	 Net income, as reported
	  	$	4,771,003	  	 	$	30,565,772	  
	 Total stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value based method
	  	 	(6,030	) 	 	 	(6,030	) 
		  	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
			
	 Pro forma net income
	  	$	4,764,973	  	 	$	30,559,742

	Note 1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

 Income Taxes 
 The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of
Subchapter 5 of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state regulations. Under these provisions, the Company does not pay federal or state corporate Income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the stockholder report on their personal income tax
returns their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income and tax credits. 
 The Company’s policy is to
generally fund income tax liabilities to the shareholders at the highest effective federal and state tax rate. 
 New
Accounting Pronouncement 
 In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS
No. 123R requires that the cost of share-based payment transactions (including those with employees and nonemployees) be recognized in the financial statement SFAS No. 123R applies to all share-based payment transactions in which an entity
acquires goods or services by issuing (or offering to issue) its shares, share options, or other equity instruments or by incurring liabilities (1) in amounts based on the price of the entity’s shares or other equity instruments, or (2) that
require settlement by the issuance of an entity’s shares or other quality instruments. 
 The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R,
as required, on January 1, 2006. Since the statement was adopted using the modified-prospective method, the effect the adoption will have on the financial statements can be materially impacted by the number of options granted in future periods. As
allowed under SFAS No. 123, the minimum value method was used to determine the fair value of previously issued options. As such, no compensation expense was recognized on options issued prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R.

	Note 7	Employee Benefit Plans 

 The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement savings plan that covers substantially all full-time employees. Contributions to the plan are based on eligible employees’ voluntary pretax contributions. The Company makes an annual
contribution to the savings plan of 3% of each participant’s qualified salary for all employees contributing a minimum of 1%. For 2005 and 2004, the amount of costs and expenses related to the plan was $122,805 and $123,817, respectively.

 The Company also sponsors an Employee Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all non-officer
full-time employees. Under the provisions of the Plan, eligible employees are allocated share units annually that have a zero value at the date of issuance. The share units become fully vested four years from the date of issuance. The Plan provides
for two possible means of payment. First, a dividend is paid for each share unit employees hold that is equal to any non-tax related distribution issued for each share of CityForest stock. Second, an appreciation value is paid for each share unit
that becomes vested on the fourth Accounting Date (December 31). The appreciation value is the difference between the value of a share of actual CityForest stock on the fourth Accounting Date and the greater of the value on the Accounting Date when
issued or any previous Accounting Date. The value of a share of Company’s stock at each Accounting Date is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

	Note 7	Employee Benefit Plans (Continued) 

  

 At December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were 202,994 and 188,821, share units outstanding
under the Plan, respectively. The financial statements at December 31, 2005 and 2004, include an accrual of approximately $733,000 and $423,000 under the terms of the Plan, respectively. 
  

	Note 8	Stock Option Plan 

 During
1992, the Company adopted the 1992 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and reserved 800,000 shares of Company common stock for issuance to directors, officers, and employees upon exercise of options. Options were granted under the Plan at the
discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and are incentive options intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment. Options were granted until February 7, 2002, the expiration date of the plan. Options to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock were granted at a price not less than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. 
 During
2003, the Company also adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and reserved 500,000 shares of Company common stock for issuance to directors, officers, and employees upon exercise of options. Options granted under this Plan are
also at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and are incentive options intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment. Options may be granted until July 24, 2013, the expiration date of the plan. Options to purchase shares
of the Company’s common stock are granted at a price not less than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. 
 The options under both plans generally vest over a four-year period following the grant date. The options expire if not exercised within seven years from the date of grant.

 Following is a summary of stock option transactions for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004: 
  

							
	 	  	Number of
Options	 	 	Price Range
	 Outstanding at December 31, 2003

	  	30,000	  	 	$	6.00
	 Exercised
	  	(37,500	) 	 	$	1.00 - $6.50
	 Expired
	  	0	  	 		
		  	 	 	 		
			
	 Outstanding at December 31, 2005
	  	140,000	  	 	$	1.00 - $6.50
		  	 	 	 		
			
	 Exercisable at end of year
	  	88,000	  	 	$	1.00 - $6.50
		  	 	 	 		
			
	 Available for grant
	  	412,000	  	 		
		  	 	 	 		

 The weighted average fair value of each option granted in 2005 was estimated on the
grant date to be $1.52 using the minimum value method as allowed for nonpublic companies. The minimum value of the Company’s stock options is determined by a present value calculation. The current price of the stock is reduced by the expected
dividends on the stock, if any, during the option’s term minus the present value of the exercise price. The present value calculated used a risk-free rate of return of 4.27% for the seven-year period. 
 Warrants 
 On April 27, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of warrants for the purchase of 62,500 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share to be executed simultaneously with the restructuring close. None of the
warrants were exercised as of December 31, 2005. The warrants are exercisable through June 11, 2014.

	Note 9	Self-Funded Insurance 

 The Company has a self-funded health care plan which provides medical benefits to employees and their dependents. This health care cost is expensed as incurred. The health care expense is based upon actual claims paid, reinsurance premiums,
administration fees, and unpaid claims at year-end. The Company buys reinsurance to cover catastrophic individual claims over $30,000 but not until those claims are over $57,000 in the aggregate. 
 Health care expense for 2005 and 2004 was approximately $984,000 and $759,000, respectively. A liability of $100,000 and $60,000 has been
recorded for claims outstanding at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Management believes this liability is sufficient to cover estimated claims including claims incurred but not yet reported. 
  

	Note 10	Major Customers

Company has three customers that exceed 10% of sales. They are as follows:

	Note 12	Commitments and Contingencies 

 Employment Contracts 
 The Company entered into employment agreements with three key officers of the
Company April 29, 2005 to replace prior employee contracts that expired November 15, 2004. The new employee agreements are terminable at will by the employer or employee at any time. Upon a termination of the employee without cause, a
resignation of an employee within six months of a Change in Control, or a resignation of employee for Good Reason the employer will provide the employee with a severance package that includes one year’s salary and the employee’s portion of
any required COBRA for the continuation of health insurance. 
 Lawsuits 
 In the ordinary course of conducting business, the Company occasionally becomes involved in legal proceedings relating to contracts,
environmental issues, or other matters. While any proceeding or litigation asserted against the Company has an element of uncertainty, management of the Company believes that the outcome of any pending or threatened actions will not have a material
adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

	Note 13	Extraordinary Item 

 In
2004, the Company finalized a settlement agreement with Enron North America Corporation and Enron Power Marketing, Inc. (Enron) in US Bankruptcy Court regarding their Senior and Junior Subordinated Loans, accrued interest and fees due Enron. The
Company retired debt, accrued interest, and fees in the amount of $38.9 million due Enron with a payment of $6.25 million to Enron derived from new borrowing. The Company also wrote-off $1.1 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Enron
loans and incurred approximately $1.2 million in restructuring costs resulting in an extraordinary gain of $30.1 million. 
  

	Note 14	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

 The Company benefited in 2005 from healthy external market conditions and the Company’s internal performance. The economy and the parent
roll tissue market strengthened in 2004 and this continued strong throughout 2005. This allowed the Company to continue to migrate to higher valued commodity products and specialty products and to implement two price increases in 2005. The price
increases were partially offset by the significant increase in the cost of natural gas. In addition to passing some of these higher costs through to the customers, natural gas purchasing strategies reduced the impact of the rising costs of gas.

 The Company also completed the second phase of debt restructuring in June 2005 by replacing Union Bank of California with
Associated Bank as its senior lender thus reducing related interest expense and fees. 
 The Company’s focus on cost
management along with production improvements further enhanced the Company’s financial performance resulting in record high income and EBITDA. 
  

	Note 15	Reclassification 

 Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 2004 financial statements to conform to the 2005 classifications.

	Note 1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

 Principal Business Activity 
 CityForest Corporation (the
“Company”) was formed on November 8,1991. The primary operations of the Company commenced on August 27, 1993, through the acquisition of certain assets of Pope & Talbot Wisconsin, Inc. (“Pope & Talbot”). The
Company is primarily engaged in producing parent rolls of tissue paper from recycled paper for customers throughout the United States. 
 Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements 
 The preparation of the accompanying financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results may differ
from these estimates. 
 Accounts Receivable 
 Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable
uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection
efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Changes in the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements. 
 Inventories 
 Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a weighted average basis, which approximates first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

	Note1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

  

 Property, Plant, Equipment, and Depreciation 
 Property, plant, and equipment are valued at cost and include equipment under leases which have been capitalized. Maintenance and repair
costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on disposition of property, plant, and equipment are reflected in income. Depreciation and amortization of property, plant, and equipment are provided for financial reporting purposes using
principally straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets or terms of the lease, which are as follows: 
  

			
	Building	  	20-40 years
	Equipment	  	5-20 years
	Furniture and fixtures	  	5-10 years
	Computer software	  	3 years

 The Company has included all depreciation expense in operating expenses. 

Debt Issuance Costs 
 Debt issuance costs associated with the bond and various notes payable are being amortized over the terms of the related debt on the straight-line method. 
 Sales Recognition 
 The Company has entered into agreements with two customers to provide tissue for them in which the customer supplies the fiber. Since the Company has general inventory risk and changes the nature of the fiber into useable tissue, it records
the sales and costs of sales related to these agreements as if they had purchased the fiber and resold it as part of the selling price (gross) rather than at the actual cost and billing (net). Management believes this more accurately represents the
production of the Company. Accordingly, the financial statements include sales and cost of sales under this method of revenue recognition of approximately $3.2 million in 2003. There were no sales to these customers in 2004. 
 Stock Compensation Plan 
 Generally accepted accounting principles encourage all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant
date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However, they also allow an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method
of accounting whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the fair value of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.

	Note 1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

 Stock Compensation (Continued) 
  

 The Company has elected to adopt the Intrinsic value based method. Stock options issued
under the Company’s stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and no compensation cost is recognized for them. Had compensation cost been determined on the basis of fair value, net income would have changed for the year ended
December 31, 2004 as follows: 
  

					
	 Net income, as reported
	  	$	30,565,772	  
	 Total stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value based method
	  	 	(158,037	) 
		  	 	 	 
		
	 Pro forma net income
	  	$	30,407,735	  
		  	 	 	 

 Income Taxes 
 The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state regulations. Under
these provisions, the Company does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income (nor is it allowed a net operating loss carryback or carryover as a deduction). Instead, the stockholders report on their personal income tax
returns, their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income or loss and tax credits. The Company’s policy is to generally fund income tax liabilities to the shareholders at the highest effective federal and state tax rate.

	Note 7	Employee Benefit Plans (Continued) 

  
 The Company also sponsors an Employee Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all non-officer full-time employees.
Under the provisions of the Plan, eligible employees are allocated share units annually. The share units are valued as of December 31 of each year ending subsequent to the allocation date. The share unit value is determined by the
Company’s Board of Directors. The eligible employees are entitled to the appreciation in the share units’ value subsequent to the allocation date. The appreciation in share units becomes fully vested and payable four years from the date of
allocation. 
 At December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were 188,821 and 173,909, respectively, share units outstanding under the
Plan. The financial statements at December 31, 2004, include an accrual of approximately $423,000 under the terms of the plan. 
  

	Note 8	Stock Options and Warrants 

 During 1992, the Company adopted the 1992 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and reserved 800,000 shares of Company common stock for issuance to directors, officers, and employees upon exercise of options. Options granted under the
Plan are at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and are incentive options intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment. Options may be granted until February 7, 2002, the expiration date of the plan. Options to purchase shares
of the Company’s common stock are granted at a price not less than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. 
 During 2003, the Company also adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and reserved 500,000 shares of Company common stock for issuance to directors, officers, and employees upon exercise of options. Options granted under
this Plan are also at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and are incentive options intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment. Options may be granted until July 24, 2013, the expiration date of the plan. Options to purchase
shares of the Company’s common stock are granted at a price not less than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. 
 The options under both plans generally vest over a four-year period following the grant date. The options expire if not exercised within seven years from the date of grant.

	 Available for grant
	  	442,000	  	 		
		  	 	 	 		

 The weighted average fair value of each option granted was estimated on the grant
date to be $1.18 using the minimum value method as allowed for nonpublic companies. The minimum value of the Company’s stock options is determined by a present value calculation. The current price of the stock is reduced by the expected
dividends on the stock, if any, during the option’s term minus the present value of the exercise price. The present value calculated used a risk-free rate of return of 4.24% for the seven-year period. 
 Warrants 
 On April 27, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of warrants for the purchase of 62,500 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share to be executed simultaneously with the restructuring close. None of the
warrants were exercised in 2004. The warrants are exercisable through June 11, 2014.

	Note 9	Self-Funded Insurance 

 The Company sponsors a self-funded health care plan which provides medical benefits to employees and their dependents. This health care cost is expensed as incurred and is based upon actual claims paid, reinsurance premiums, administration
fees, and unpaid claims at year-end. The Company buys stop-loss insurance to cover catastrophic individual claims in excess of $25,000 during the plan year ended September 30, 2004, and $30,000 during the plan year ending September 30, 2005.

 The Company’s costs related to the Plan for 2004 and 2003 were approximately $759,000 and $510,000, respectively. A
liability of approximately $60,500 has been recorded to cover estimated claims, including claims incurred but not yet reported at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

	Note 12	Commitments and Contingencies 

 Employment Contracts 
 The Company had employment contracts with three key officers of the Company. The
agreements continued until November 2004 unless terminated by the Executive or the Company, and provided for severance payments under certain circumstances. The agreements provided the Executives with certain additional rights after a Change of
Control (as defined in the agreement), which included up to a maximum of 24 months of the executives base salary. 
 Lawsuits 
 In the ordinary course of conducting business, the Company occasionally becomes involved in
legal proceedings relating to contracts, environmental issues, or other matters. While any proceeding or litigation asserted against the Company has an element of uncertainty, management of the Company believes that the outcome of any pending or
threatened actions will not have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. 
  

	Note 13	Extraordinary Item 

 In
2004 the Company finalized a settlement agreement with Enron North America Corporation and Enron Power Marketing, Inc. (Enron) in US Bankruptcy Court regarding their Senior and Junior Subordinated Loans, accrued interest and fees due Enron. The
Company retired debt, accrued interest, and fees in the amount of $38.9 million due Enron with a payment of $6.25 million to Enron derived from new borrowing. The Company also wrote-off $1.1 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Enron
loans and incurred approximately $1.2 million in restructuring costs resulting in an extraordinary gain of $30.1 million. 
 As a
result of a significant portion of the gain not being subject to income tax, no tax distributions are expected to be made to the shareholders.

	Note 14	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

 The Company benefited in 2004 from improvements in both external market conditions and internal operations. The economy and the parent roll
tissue market strengthened significantly early in 2004. The Company responded by implementing two price increases and by migrating a significant portion of its volume to higher value commodity and specialty products. Such products have better
margins and less generic product specifications. The continued strength in the North American economy combined with the limited amount of new conventional dry crepe tissue capacity bodes well for the parent roll tissue market in 2005. Prices for
natural gas, the Company’s primary source of energy, were high in 2004 and this trend is expected to continue in 2005. However, the Company’s cost management effort resulted in significant cost reductions for fiber, chemicals, and
maintenance. The cost reductions offset the high energy costs and contributed to a strong income and EBITDA performance. 
 The
Company was successful in replacing Enron as its subordinated lender with the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) on June 11, 2004, with significantly lower subordinated debt amount. The related discount dramatically improved the debt to
equity relationship resulting in a much Improved leveraged position. 
 The above achievements have substantially improved the
Company’s position for future operating successes.

	Note 1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

 Principal Business Activity 
 CityForest Corporation (the
“Company”) was formed on November 8, 1991. The primary operations of the Company commenced on August 27, 1993, through the acquisition of certain assets of Pope & Talbot Wisconsin, Inc. (“Pope & Talbot”). The
Company is primarily engaged in producing parent rolls of tissue paper from recycled paper for customers throughout the United States. 
 Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements 
 The preparation of the accompanying financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results may differ
from these estimates. 
 Accounts Receivable 
 Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable
uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection
efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Changes in the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements. 
 Inventories 
 Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a weighted average basis, which approximates first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

	Note 1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

 Property, Plant, Equipment, and Depreciation 
 Property, plant, and
equipment are valued at cost and include equipment under leases which have been capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on disposition of property, plant, and equipment are reflected in income.
Depreciation and amortization of property, plant, and equipment are provided for financial reporting purposes using principally straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets or terms of the lease, which are as follows:

  

			
	Building	  	20-40 years
	Equipment	  	5-20 years
	Furniture and fixtures	  	5-10 years
	Computer software	  	3 years

 Bond Issuance Costs 
 Bond issuance costs associated with the various debt issues are being amortized over the terms of the related debt on the straight-line
method. 
 Sales Recognition 
 The Company has entered into agreements with two customers to provide tissue for them in which the customer supplies the fiber. Since the Company has general inventory risk and changes the nature of the
fiber into useable tissue, it records the sales and costs of sales related to these agreements as if they had purchased the fiber and resold it as part of the selling price (gross) rather than at the actual cost and billing (net). Management
believes this more accurately represents the production of the Company. Accordingly, the financial statements include sales and cost of sales under this method of revenue recognition of approximately $3.2 million in 2003 and $2.9 million in 2002.

 Income Taxes 
 The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter 5 of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state regulations. Under these provisions, the Company does not pay federal or state
corporate income taxes on its taxable income (nor is it allowed a net operating loss carryback or carryover as a deduction). Instead, the stockholders report on their personal income tax, returns, their proportionate share of the Company’s
taxable income or loss and tax credits. The Company’s policy is to generally fund income tax liabilities to the shareholders at the highest effective federal and state tax rate.

	Note 8	Employee Benefit Plans 

 The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement savings plan which covers substantially all full-time employees. Employees eligible for the savings plan may contribute on a pretax basis subject to annual contribution limitations established by the
Internal Revenue Code. The Company makes an annual contribution to the savings plan of 3% of each participant’s qualified salary for all employees contributing a minimum of 1%. Costs and expenses related to the retirement plan were $103,203 and
$99,363 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 
 The Company also sponsors an Employee Share
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all non-officer full-time employees. Under the provisions of the Plan, eligible employees are allocated share units annually. The share units are valued as of December 31 of each year
ending subsequent to the allocation date. The share unit value is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The eligible employees are entitled to the appreciation in the share units’ value subsequent to the allocation date. The
appreciation in share units becomes fully vested and payable four years from the date of allocation. 
 At December 31, 2003
and 2002, there were 173,909 and 159,769, respectively, share units outstanding under the Plan, but a liability has not been provided within the financial statements because the share unit value has depreciated since the allocation date. 

 

	Note 9	Stock Options 

 During
1992, the Company adopted the 1992 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and reserved 800,000 shares of Company common stock for issuance to directors, officers, and employees upon exercise of options. Options granted under the Plan are incentive
options intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment. 
 During 2003, the Company also adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the
“Plan”) and reserved 500,000 shares of Company common stock for issuance to directors, officers, and employees upon exercise of options. Options granted under this Plan are incentive options also intended to qualify for favorable tax
treatment. 
 Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 148,
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003. Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for this plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock based employee compensation cost is reflected in 2003 or 2002 income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the
fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

	Note 10	Self-Funded Insurance 

 The Company sponsors a self-funded health care plan which provides medical benefits to employees and their dependents. This health care cost is expensed as incurred and is based upon actual claims paid, reinsurance premiums, administration
fees, and unpaid claims at year-end. The Company buys stop-loss insurance to cover catastrophic individual claims in excess of $20,000 during the plan year ended September 30, 2003, and $25,000 during the plan year ending September 30, 2004.

 The Company’s costs related to the Plan for 2003 and 2002 were approximately $510,300 and $531,600, respectively. A
liability of approximately $61,000 and $109,000 has been recorded to cover estimated claims, including claims incurred but not yet reported at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

	Note 13	Commitments and Contingencies (Continued) 

  

 Lawsuits 
 In the ordinary course of conducting business, the Company occasionally becomes involved in legal proceedings relating to contracts,
environmental issues, or other matters. While any proceeding or litigation asserted against the Company has an element of uncertainty, management of the Company believes that the outcome of any pending or threatened actions will not have a material
adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. 
 The Company was party to an arbitration proceeding with
one of it’s suppliers of their production equipment. The Company asserted production end design flaws by the manufacturer of the equipment and had included disputed invoices for approximately $589,000 in accounts payable as of December 31,
2002. During 2003, the decision of the arbitrator was to settle for less than the disputed amount and the parties agreed that approximately $248,000 would be paid, another $49,600 was paid for legal and arbitration fees and the remaining
approximately $291,400 was recorded as miscellaneous income to offset prior expenses required to identify the machine issues and bring it to the appropriate level of production capacity. These prior expenses include professional services to
consultants, in-house direct labor, and premature replacement of felts, wires, and machine parts. 
 Contingency

 As described in Note 6 and Note 14, from 2001 through 2003 the Company defaulted on payment of principal and interest on the
Senior Subordinated Loan Agreement with Enron Capital and Trade Resources Corp. and on the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Loan Agreement with Enron Capital and Trade Resources Corp. As outlined in these loan agreements, Enron had the
right to charge additional default interest. During the company’s financing restructuring negotiations, Enron agreed to not charge any default fees, but because Enron filed for bankruptcy protection, this agreement was never formally signed.
Enron recently accepted CityForest’s proposal to pay off all Senior and Junior Subordinated Debt at a discount. In return for the proposed payment, Enron will waive all default fees. The bankruptcy court must provide final approval of the
proposal as final settlement of the Enron loans. 
 The Company also entered into an Energy Service Agreement as part of the
original Senior Subordinated Loan Agreement whereas Enron would provide consultation regarding energy services as well as have the opportunity to be a supplier of natural gas and electricity. During the financing restructuring process, Enron agreed
with the Company that Enron had not provided any of these services and therefore they are not payable. The CityForest proposal waiting for the final approval from the bankruptcy court includes a provision that these costs are waived. The
Company’s financial statements at December 31, 2003 and 2002, do not reflect any estimates of these charges.

	Note 14	Loan Agreement Default and Loan Agreement Restructuring 

 During the years ending December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, the Company defaulted on principal and interest payments on its Senior Subordinated Loan Agreement and on interest payments on its Junior
Subordinated Loan Agreement with Enron Capital and Trade Resources Corp. As a result, the Company entered into negotiations with Enron to restructure the loan agreements. As part of these negotiations, the parties agreed in principle to waive
certain fees, charges, and revise repayment and default terms. Enron representatives did not give the Company any indication the obligations were immediately due and payable but rather proposed deferral of the defaulted principal and interest
payments and restructuring of future payments. Legal counsel for the Company and Enron were in the process of drafting amendment agreements until they were interrupted by Enron’s bankruptcy filing in fall 2001. The Company received notification
that Enron Capital and Trade Resources Corp. has accepted the Company’s proposal of a discounted payment to satisfy all principal, interest and related obligations associated with the Senior Subordinated and Junior Subordinated Loan Agreements
except for the final settlement of the Income Participation Certificate, which previously was transferred to a third party by Enron. The Company is currently waiting for final approval from both the Senior Lender and the proposed new Subordinated
Lender to the Company’s proposed agreement with Enron Capital and Trade Resources Corp. 
  

	Note 15	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

 The Company was unfavorably impacted by both external economic and internal operational events during 2003. After a brief upturn in the later
part of 2002, the parent roll tissue market was affected by the weak economy experienced throughout North America. Unlike many of it’s competitors, the Company was able to sell at capacity but the product sold was primarily lower priced
commodity tissue. The Company produced about 840 fewer tons than its capacity due to both equipment and utility interruptions. The equipment related downtime was the result of four supplied felts not meeting required specifications and cracks in two
pressure rolls for paper machine #4. The utility interruptions were heat related electrical interruptions. 
 The Company also
experienced higher costs of fiber, steam and chemicals. The Company resolved the higher fiber cost by changing the blends in recycled wastepaper as well as improving yield rates. The higher steam costs were due to the higher rates for natural gas
during 2003. Part of the higher chemical cost was due to an effort to replace high priced purchased deinked pulp with deinked pulp made by the Company. To accomplish this, chemicals were used to increase the brightness. During the fourth quarter
improved processes were developed to reduce part of the chemical costs.
