as of the Closing Date. 
  
 (iii) Supplemental Financial
Statements. To the extent that the Supplemental Financial Statements result in an adjustment to the Purchase Price on or before the Closing Date, the items and amounts taken into account for such adjustment of the Purchase Price shall not be

 16 

 Coors Brewing Company (the “Coors Sales Adjustment”) during the period commencing on the date

Statement, the Buyer shall grant Seller access to the Buyer’s work papers used in the preparation of the Sales Purchase Price Adjustment Statement and the Buyer shall make available to the Seller all other documents and information as Seller
may reasonably request. Within 30 days after the Sales Purchase Price Adjustment Statement is delivered to Seller by Buyer, the Buyer and Seller shall meet (if necessary) in an attempt to stipulate to the Sales Purchase Price Adjustment. 

 
 (c) Dispute Resolution. If the Seller and the Buyer cannot so
stipulate to the Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date within the 30-day period following the delivery of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement referenced above, or agree upon the Sales Purchase Price Adjustment with the 30-day
period following the delivery of the Sales Purchase Price Adjustment Statement, the matters with respect to which no stipulation or agreement has been reached shall be submitted to and resolved by the Milwaukee office of PriceWaterhouse Coopers, LLP
(the “Arbitrator”), whose decision shall be binding and final upon the parties. The parties shall use their best reasonable efforts to cause the Arbitrator to render its decision no later 75 days after the disputed matters

Capital Amount as of the Balance Sheet Date is greater than the Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date, then the amount of such excess, plus interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annum computed from the Closing Date until paid, shall be
paid by the Seller to the Buyer in cash, or (b) if 
  

 17

agree using procedures normally used by Seller to take inventories of the type of inventory being counted. The value, usability and salability of the Inventories shall be determined in the Ordinary Course, including, without limitation, using
Seller’s cost accounting system, methodology, accounting valuations, means of determining obsolescence and reserves, and other accounting principles. Any disputes regarding the foregoing shall be settled in the same manner as other disputes are

costs and expenses. The Buyer’s assumption of the Seller’s responsibility for the Cleanup of the Green Bay Contamination shall not operate to terminate or waive Seller’s Liability for the Green Bay Contamination. In the event Buyer
disapproves such remediation proposal from Seller or Seller disapproves any such remediation proposal from Buyer, Seller and Buyer shall proceed to a binding arbitration in which Seller and Buyer shall agree upon an Arbitrator or, in the absence of
an agreement, Seller shall select one environmental remediation consultant and Buyer shall select another environmental remediation consultant, and the two environmental remediation consultants so selected shall agree upon a third environmental
remediation consultant who shall become the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall determine which remediation proposal will achieve Green Bay Contamination Closure in the most expeditious and cost effective manner. These obligations of Seller and Buyer

accordance with Section (b) above. 
  
 (e)
Seller’s Pension Plan. The Seller currently maintains, pursuant to its collective bargaining agreement with Local 663, Graphic Communications International Union (“GCIU Local 663”), the Group Pension Plan for
Employees of NorthStar Print Group, Inc., Norway Division (“Seller’s Pension Plan”). Seller’s Pension Plan is a defined benefit pension plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code. On and after
the Closing Date, the Seller shall transfer and the Buyer shall assume and continue the sponsorship and administration of, as the successor employer thereunder, Seller’s Pension Plan and shall assume all the rights, duties, obligations and
Liabilities of the Seller under the Seller’s Pension Plan. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall also assume all Liabilities under Seller’s Pension Plan for all benefits to each of the Plan’s participants and beneficiaries (including
all retirees and former participants with deferred vested benefits) that have accrued as of the Closing Date and the Seller shall relinquish any and all rights it had or may have had with respect to any of the assets of Seller’s Pension Plan.

  
 (f) Retiree Health Plan. Pursuant to its collective
bargaining agreement with GCIU Local 663, the Seller provides certain employees who were on its payroll as of July 31, 1998, and who retire between the ages of 62 and 65 (“Early Retiree Eligible Employees”) with the option of
continuing coverage under its health and welfare program after retirement and until age 65, by paying the applicable premium for this coverage. On and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall assume the Seller’s obligation to provide this
continuing coverage to all Early Retiree Eligible Employees, including both current employees of the Seller who may become eligible for this continuing coverage on or after the Closing Date and former employees of the Seller who have elected or have
the right to elect this continuing coverage, by providing this continuing coverage under the Buyer’s own health and welfare program to the extent required by the collective bargaining agreement with GCIU Local 663 that the Buyer is assuming
pursuant to subsection (b) above. This continuing coverage for Early Retiree Eligible Employees shall be in addition to and not in derogation of, any COBRA coverage that the Buyer is obligated to provide in accordance with subsection (d) above to
Hired Employees. 
  
 (g) Buyer’s 401(k) Plan. The
Buyer currently maintains a defined contribution profit-sharing plan with a cash or deferred arrangement that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code (“Buyer’s 401(k) Plan”). Buyer’s
401(k) Plan shall provide credit to Hired Employees for all of their service with the Seller, solely for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting, to the same extent such service would have been credited if the service had been performed
for the Buyer prior to the Closing Date. Buyer’s 401(k) Plan shall permit elective deferral contributions by each eligible Hired Employee as soon as 
  

 47 

 administratively feasible after the Hired Employee is employed with the Buyer. After the Closing Date, the Buyer shall
permit Hired Employees who are entitled and elect to receive an “eligible rollover distribution” (as described in Section 402(f)(2)(A) of the Code) from the JCI Investment Savings Plan to direct that the eligible rollover distribution be
transferred to Buyer’s 401(k) Plan in accordance with Section 402(c) of the Code and the Buyer shall cause Buyer’s 401(k) Plan to contain provisions permitting such transfers. 
  
 (h) Buyer’s Group Health Plan. The Buyer shall provide each Hired Employee (and their spouses and dependents)
with immediate coverage as of the Closing Date under a “group health plan” (within the meaning of Section 5001(b) of the Code) maintained by the Buyer (the “Buyer’s Group Health Plan”), provided that the Hired
Employee’s employment with the Buyer begins as of the Closing Date (“Eligible Hired Employees”). The Buyer’s Group Health Plan shall waive any pre-existing condition exclusions or restrictions with respect to the
Eligible Hired Employees and shall include such other terms and conditions as determined by the Buyer. The Buyer shall be solely responsible for providing (and shall have sole liability in respect to any failure to provide) COBRA Coverage under the
Buyer’s Group Health Plan with respect to all Eligible Hired Employees (and their spouses and dependents) resulting from any “qualifying event” occurring on or after the Closing Date. 
  
 (i) GCIU Supplemental Retirement and Disability Fund. Seller and Buyer
agree that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall qualify for the sale of assets exception of section 4204 of ERISA, so that no withdrawal from the GCIU Fund by Seller shall occur as a result of the transaction. Accordingly:

  
 (i) Buyer obligates itself to contribute to the GCIU Fund with
respect to the operations for substantially the same number of contribution base units (within the meaning of section 4204(a)(1)(A) of ERISA and may be defined by the Fund’s fiduciaries) for which Seller had an obligation to contribute.

  
 (ii) Buyer shall provide to the GCIU Fund for a period of five
plan years of the Fund, beginning with the first plan year of the Fund that begins after the Closing, a bond or escrow for or in an amount determined in accordance with section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA, as necessary to satisfy the requirements of
section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA, except to the extent such requirements may be waived by variance or exemption. 
  
 (iii) If Buyer shall withdraw from the GCIU Fund in a complete withdrawal or a partial withdrawal with respect to operations during the five plan years of
the Fund beginning with the first plan year that begins after Closing Date, and if the liability of Buyer with respect to the Fund is not paid, Seller shall be secondarily liable for any withdrawal liability it would have had to the Fund with
respect to operations but for section 4204 of ERISA, if and to the extent required by section 4204(a)(1)(C) of ERISA. If the GCIU Fund waives the requirements of section 4204(a)(1)(C) by variance or exemption, this Section 7.2(i)(iii)
shall be null and void. 
  
 (iv) If all or substantially all of
Seller’s assets are distributed, or if Seller is liquidated before the end of the five plan year period beginning with the plan year that begins after Closing, Seller shall provide to the GCIU Fund a bond or escrow as necessary to satisfy the

  

 48 

 
requirements of section 4204(a)(3)(A) and (B) of ERISA, unless such requirements are waived by variance or exemption. For purposes of this subsection (iv),
the term “Seller” shall include Seller and any entity under common control with Seller within the meaning of section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 
  
 (v) Buyer and Seller shall promptly notify the fiduciaries of the GCIU Fund
of this transaction. Buyer or Seller may apply to the Fund or Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) for a variance or exemption from any of the requirements of paragraphs (ii) or (iii) above. The applicant shall
prepare its own submission documents to obtain a variance, if any, and shall absorb its own legal and administrative costs attributable to such preparation, except that Buyer and Seller shall provide each other with copies of all correspondence sent
to the Fund or PBGC regarding a variance, and Buyer and Seller shall each comply with the other’s reasonable request for documentation required in the obtaining of a variance. 
  
 (vi) Buyer agrees to assume and pay on behalf of Seller any secondary liability described in paragraph (iii) and any
withdrawal liability or other liability that may be asserted by the Fund against Seller or any entity under common control with Seller within the meaning of section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder
(“Commonly-Controlled Entity”) by reason of a breach by Buyer of any agreement in this Section 7.2(i). Buyer shall also indemnify Seller and any Commonly-Controlled Entity from and against any loss, liability,
cost, or expenses incurred in connection with any such secondary liability or assertion of liability by the Fund. 
  
 7.3 Transfer Taxes. The Buyer shall pay all sales taxes with respect to the sale of the Vehicles by the Seller to the Buyer.

 7.5 Vacation Accruals. Buyer shall use, until at least December 31, 2005, Seller’s method of accounting for vacation accrual (subject to any
changes required by U.S. GAAP) for all Hired Employees. The failure of Buyer to comply with this Section 7.5 will result in damages to the Seller, determined as of the date of the change in accounting for the vacation accrual, equal to
the accrued vacation pay as of the Closing Date, reduced each day following the Closing Date by the product of (i) a fraction with a numerator of one (1) and a denominator equal to the number of days from and including the Closing Date, to and
including December 31, 2005, multiplied by (ii) the accrued vacation pay as of the Closing Date. 
  
 7.6 Notice of Intent and Buyer Voluntary Disclosure. Buyer agrees within 1 (one) day after the Closing to file a Notice of Intent to Perform an
Environmental Compliance Audit with the MDEQ and to provide a copy of the same promptly to Seller and JCI. Buyer shall file the Buyer Voluntary Disclosure with MDEQ in an expeditious manner pursuant to Michigan Laws and provide a copy of the same
promptly to Seller and JCI. Buyer agrees to retain responsibility for the costs of implementing all of the Disclosure Responses set forth in the Buyer Voluntary Disclosure. Buyer agrees to notify Seller and JCI of the completion of implementation of
each of the Disclosure Responses set forth in the Buyer Voluntary Disclosure. These obligations of Buyer shall survive the Closing.

shall deliver a Notice of Claim to the Indemnitor reasonably promptly after Indemnitee’s receipt of a Claim or specific and affirmative awareness of a potential Claim. If the Indemnitor shall object to such Notice of Claim, the Indemnitor shall
deliver a Notice of Objection to the Indemnitee within 30 days after the Indemnitee’s delivery of the Notice of Claim. If the Notice of Objection shall not have been so delivered within such 30 day period, Indemnitor shall be conclusively
deemed to have acknowledged the correctness of the Claim or Claims specified in the Notice of Claim for the full amount thereof, and the Indemnifiable Damages set forth in the Notice of Claim shall be promptly paid by the Indemnitor to the
Indemnitee on demand, in cash. If the Indemnitor shall make timely objection to a Claim or Claims set forth in any Notice of Claim, and if such Claim or Claims shall not have been resolved or compromised within 60 days from the date of delivery of
the Notice of Objection, then such Claims shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof. If, by arbitration, it shall be determined that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to any Indemnifiable Damages by reason of its

result in an obligation of the Indemnitor to pay Indemnifiable Damages and which can be remedied by the payment of money damages without further adverse consequence to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor, at the sole expense of the Indemnitor, may assume
the primary defense thereof with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, but only if and so long as the Indemnitor diligently pursues the defense of such Claim. If the Indemnitor does not assume the primary defense of any such Claim, the
Indemnitee may do so. 
  
 8.5 Survival of Indemnification,
Representations and Warranties. An Indemnitor’s obligation to pay Indemnifiable Damages arising out of Claims described in Sections 8.1(c), 8.1(e) (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement),
8.2(c), 8.2(d), 8.2(e) and 8.2(f) hereof shall survive the Closing indefinitely. The representations and warranties contained in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and an
Indemnitor’s obligation to pay Indemnifiable Damages arising out of Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(d) and 8.2(a) hereof, shall survive the Closing as follows:

upon the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty which was made fraudulently, indefinitely; 
  
 (b) Certain Representations. In the case of a Claim based upon the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty pertaining to Section
4.8 (Title), Section 4.15 (Taxes) or Section 4.16 (Environmental), for a period equal to the period of the applicable statute of limitations plus 60 days; and 
  

 52 

 (c) All Other Claims. In the case of all other Claims based upon the inaccuracy or breach of a
representation or warranty, for a period of 24 months after the Closing Date. 
  
 No Claim for recovery of Indemnifiable Damages arising out of Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof may be asserted by an Indemnitee after the expiration of the applicable time period described
above in this Section; provided, however, that any Claim first asserted by the giving of a Notice of Claim within the applicable survival period shall neither be abated nor barred. 
  
 8.6 Limitations on Indemnifiable Damages. 
  
 (a) Minimum and Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the following provisions, the amount of
Indemnifiable Damages payable by the Seller and JCI arising under Section 8.1 hereof shall be limited as follows: 
  
 (i) The Buyer shall not be entitled to recover Indemnifiable Damages for any matter described in Sections 8.1(a) or 8.1(d)
hereof unless and until the aggregate of all Claims for Indemnifiable Damages asserted pursuant to such Sections hereof exceeds $250,000 and then only for the excess over $250,000. The limitations set forth in this provision do not apply to
Indemnifiable Damages asserted pursuant to Section 8.1(e) hereof. 
  
 (ii) The amount of Indemnifiable Damages payable by the Seller and JCI arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty pertaining to Section 4.16 (Environmental)
shall in no event exceed $4,000,000 in the aggregate. The limitations set forth in this provision do not apply to Indemnifiable Damages asserted pursuant to Section 8.1(e) hereof. 
  
 (iii) The amount of Indemnifiable Damages payable by the Seller and JCI
arising out of or relating to Section 8.1(a) [except as to the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty pertaining to Section 4.16 (Environmental), to which the provisions of Section 8.6(a)(ii)
shall apply]; or Section 8.1(d) shall in no event exceed $1,500,000 in the aggregate. The limitations set forth in this provision do not apply to Indemnifiable Damages asserted pursuant to Section 8.1(e) hereof.

  
 (b) Tax Provision. In computing the amount of
Indemnifiable Damages, there shall be deducted therefrom an amount equal to the income tax savings, if any, to the Indemnitee from the income tax deduction or deferral, if any, to which the Indemnitee shall become entitled as a consequence of any
loss, Claim, damage, Liability, cost, expense or deficiency giving rise to the Indemnifiable Damages, but only to the extent that such income tax savings would not be offset by adverse tax consequences to the Indemnitee by reason of receipt of the
Indemnifiable Damages. 
  
 (c) Insurance Proceeds; Claims
Against Third Parties. In computing the amount of Indemnifiable Damages, there shall be deducted therefrom an amount equal to the sum of (i) insurance proceeds to which the Indemnitee becomes entitled as a consequence of any matter or

  

 53 

 item giving rise to Indemnifiable Damages and (ii) all amounts received or receivable from third parties in connection
with any matter or item giving rise to Indemnifiable Damages. The Indemnitee shall in good faith pursue and attempt to collect all insurance proceeds and all Claims against third parties which would reduce Indemnifiable Damages. Buyer shall have no
obligation to pursue claims under its insurance policies for the Retained Environmental Liabilities or any Indemnifiable Damages. 
  
 (d) Purchase Price Adjustment. The Buyer shall not be entitled to recover Indemnifiable Damages with respect to any matter which was taken into
account in determining the Net Working Capital Purchase Price Adjustment. 
  
 8.7 Sole Remedy. The sole remedy of the Buyer for any Claim for monetary damages resulting or arising in any manner from or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a
Claim for Indemnifiable Damages made pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of, this Article 8, except for: (i) any claim for Indemnifiable Damages which is based upon fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) any Claim for
monetary damages resulting or arising in any manner from or with respect to the Retained Environmental Liabilities. 
  
 ARTICLE 9 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 9.1 Non-Breach With Respect to Financial Statements. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a difference of any type between the Supplemental Financial Statements and either or both of the Financial Statements or the Interim Financial Statements, whether material or not, shall not constitute a breach of any term
or provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Representations and Warranties contained in Article 4 hereof. 
  
 9.2 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will at any time, and from time to time, after the Closing Date, upon the request

complete the transactions contemplated herein, including those efforts to obtain necessary Governmental Authorizations. After the Closing Date, Seller and JCI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any necessary third party to execute
such documents and do such acts and things as Buyer may reasonably require for the purpose of giving to Buyer the full benefit of all the provisions of this Agreement and as may be reasonably required to complete the transactions contemplated
herein. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any necessary third party to, execute such documents and do such acts and things as Seller may reasonably require for the purpose of giving to Seller
the full benefit of all the provisions of this Agreement and as may be reasonably required to complete the transactions contemplated herein. 
  
 9.3 Benefit and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their heirs, successors,
assignees, and beneficiaries in interest. 
  

 54 

 9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal Laws of the State of Wisconsin (regardless of such State’s conflict of laws principles), and without reference to any rules of construction regarding the party responsible for the drafting hereof. 
  
 9.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise herein provided, all expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein provided for shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses and costs. 
  
 9.6 Arbitration. Except as provided at Section 2.3(c) hereof, any controversy, dispute or Claim pertaining to this Agreement
(including, but not limited to, any Claim regarding the scope or effect of this Section and any Claim that this Section is invalid or unenforceable) or the breach hereof, shall be settled by a single arbitrator in binding arbitration conducted in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (or such other arbitration service as the parties may agree upon), and judgment upon the award rendered
by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s decision shall be in writing. In addition to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, and unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the following
rules shall apply: 
  

	 	(a)	Each party shall be entitled to discovery exclusively by the following means: (i) requests for admission, (ii) requests for production of documents, (iii) up to 20 written

	 	(c)	Unless the arbitrator finds that delay is reasonably justified, the hearing will be completed, and an award rendered within 30 days of commencement of the hearing.

and costs of the arbitration and one-half of the costs of the arbitrator. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties expressly agree that a court of competent jurisdiction may enter a temporary restraining order or an order enjoining a
breach of this Agreement pending a final award or further order by the arbitrator. Such remedy, however, shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled.

provision to Persons or circumstances other than those to which it was held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected and shall be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law, but only if and to the

court or arbitrator add to this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be valid and enforceable, so as to effect the original intent of the parties to the greatest extent possible.
