	Section 1.2	  	Design: The Plan is designed to provide supplemental retirement benefits as described in Section 3.4 and is intended to be an unfunded plan providing deferred compensation for a select
group of highly compensated or management employees.

		  	 (a)     individuals who, on the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”)
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least two thirds (2/3) of
the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent
Director;

		
		  	 (b)     any “person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the “Exchange Act”) and in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that such
event shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any acquisition of Company Voting Securities (A) by the Company or any Subsidiary, (B) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or
any Subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in Section 2.5(c)), (E) pursuant to any acquisition by an Executive or
any group of persons including Executive (or any entity controlled by an Executive or by any group of persons including Executive); or (F) pursuant to or in connection with a transaction (other than a Business Combination) in which Company Voting
Securities are acquired from the Company, if a majority of the Incumbent Directors approve a resolution providing expressly that such transaction does not constitute a Change in Control under this Section 2.5(b);

		
		  	 (c)     the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate
transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders, whether for such transaction or for an issuance of securities in or in connection with the transaction (a “Business
Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination (A) more than 50% of the total voting power of the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting
securities

  

 2 

			
		  	 eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”) or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the corporation
resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares
into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the
holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person (other than any employee benefit plan or related trust sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least a
majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the

“Non-Qualifying Transaction”); or

		
		  	 (d)     the Company acts upon a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company approved by the
shareholders of the Company or effects a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets approved by the shareholders of the Company.

		
		  	Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 25% of the Company Voting
Securities as a result of an acquisition or a series of acquisitions of Company Voting Securities by the Company that reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; however, if such person thereafter becomes the beneficial owner of
additional Company Voting Securities that increase the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then be deemed to occur.

 ARTICLE 3 – BENEFITS 
  

			
	Section 3.1	  	Accrued Benefit: The Accrued Benefit is an annual amount payable in the form of a Life Annuity, calculated as of the Executive’s Calculation Date, equal to the product of (a)
times (b) minus (c) where:
		
		  	 (a)     Is 1.35% of Average Annual Compensation times years of Service projected to Normal Retirement Date, offset
by .65% of Final Average Compensation up to Covered Compensation times years of Service projected to Normal Retirement Date, and

		
		  	 (b)     Is a fraction where the numerator is years of Service as of the Calculation Date and the denominator is
the greater of years of Service as of the Calculation Date or years of Service projected to Normal Retirement Date, and

		
		  	 (c)     Is the Executive’s accrued benefit under the Retirement Plan as of the Calculation Date, the accrued
benefit under any Company paid deferred compensation arrangements as of the Calculation Date other than the Caraustar Industries, Inc. Employees’ Savings Plan (the Caraustar 401(k) Plan), and/or any other accrued benefit payable through another
employer’s qualified defined benefit plan as of the Calculation Date by which the Executive has obtained additional years of Service. Notwithstanding the above, the Executive’s accrued benefit is also reduced by the actuarial equivalent of
a hypothetical benefit account based on accumulating the Executive’s service-weighted retirement contributions under the Caraustar’s 401(k) Plan with interest using for each calendar year the 10-year Treasury Bond constant maturity rate,
monthly average yield for the December preceding such year. Actuarial equivalence for this purpose will be on the same basis used for the optional forms of payment herein. If a benefit of another employer is offset hereunder and is not in the form
of a Life Annuity payable at age 65, Caraustar’s actuary shall determine the equivalent Life Annuity at age 65 for the purpose of determining the offset amount.

		
	Section 3.2	  	Forms of Benefit Payment and Election Requirements:
		
		  	 (a)     Normal Form of Payment: Unless otherwise elected, the form of benefit payment for a Retirement
Payment under Section 3.4(a)(1) or Disability Payment under Section 3.4(a)(2) shall be a 5-Year Certain Annuity. The 5-Year Certain Annuity is equal to the actuarial equivalent of the Retirement Benefit. The benefits under a 5-Year Certain annuity
are payable in 60 monthly installments to the Executive while the Executive is alive and continuing to the Beneficiary for the balance of the 60 payments remaining after the death of the Executive. The amount benefit under this Normal Form of
Payment and the rules for payments after the death of the Executive or the Executive’s Beneficiary will be determined in the same manner as described below for a 10-Year Certain Annuity.

		
		  	 The normal form of payment for a Death Payment shall be a Life Annuity. The normal form of payment for a Change-In-Control Payment shall be a lump
sum.

  

 7 

			
		 	 (b)     Optional Forms: In lieu of the Normal Form, the Executive may elect to receive his Retirement
Payment under Section 3.4(a)(1) in any of the following optional forms of payment. The Disability Payment under Section 3.4(a)(2) shall be paid in the same form of payment elected for the Retirement Payment. The optional forms of payment
are:

		
		 	 (1)     10-Year Certain Annuity: The 10-Year Certain Annuity is the actuarial equivalent benefit of the Retirement
Benefit. The 10-Year Certain Annuity is payable in 120 monthly installments to the Executive while the Executive is alive and continuing to the Executive’s Beneficiary for the balance of the 120 payments remaining after the death of the
Executive. Such actuarial equivalent shall be determined using the mortality table prescribed in Rev. Rul. 2001-62 and the interest rate most recently used as of the benefit commencement date (or the date that would be the benefit commencement date
except for Plan Section 3.4(b)) to discount this Plan’s liabilities for FAS 87 purposes.

		
		 	 If the Beneficiary who is receipt of monthly payments by reason of the Executive’s death, dies before a total of 120 monthly payments have been paid to the
Executive and the Beneficiary, then the present value of the remaining payments (determined using the interest rate most recently used to discount this Plan’s liabilities for FAS 87 purposes) will be paid to the Beneficiary’s estate. If
the Executive’s named Beneficiary predeceases the Executive, and the Executive dies before a total of 120 monthly payments have been made to the Executive, the present value of the remaining payments (determined using the interest rate most
recently used to discount this Plan’s liabilities for FAS 87 purposes) will be paid to the Executive’s estate.

		
		 	 (2)     Life Annuity: Equal to the Retirement Benefit payable monthly for the life of the
Executive.

		
		 	 (3)     Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity Survivor Annuity: Equal to the actuarial equivalent of the Retirement Benefit
(using the mortality table prescribed in Rev. Rul. 2001-62 and the interest rate most recently used to discount this Plan’s liabilities for FAS 87 purposes) payable monthly for the life of the Executive with a survivor annuity of half of such
amount continuing for the life of the Spouse following the death of the Executive.

		
		 	 (4)     Joint and 100% Survivor Annuity Survivor Annuity: Equal to the actuarial equivalent of the Retirement Benefit
(using the mortality table prescribed in Rev. Rul. 2001-62 and the interest rate most recently used to discount this Plan’s liabilities for FAS 87 purposes) payable monthly for the life of the Executive with a

  

 8 

			
		  	 survivor annuity equal to the amount that the Executive was receiving with such amount continuing for the life of the Spouse following the death of the
Executive.

		
		  	 (c)     If the Executive elects a Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity and the Executive’s Spouse dies prior to the
Executive’s commencement of benefits, his benefit automatically will be paid in a Life Annuity.

		
		  	 (d)     Executive’s benefit will commence on his Retirement Date. Notwithstanding the above, the Executive may
elect as provided in paragraph (e) below to have his benefits commence on his Normal Retirement Date. In such case the Executive’s benefit will be computed without adjustment for early retirement.

		
		  	 (e)     The Executive’s election as to form of payment and the time of payment must be made in writing no later
than 30 days after first becoming eligible to participate in this Plan.

		
		  	 Notwithstanding the above, an Executive may make a new election during 2007 or 2008; provided, that the Executive cannot make an election in either of these years
that would either cause payments to be made to him in such year that would not otherwise have been made in that year, or that would postpone any payments that would otherwise be made to him in such year to a later year.

		
		  	 An Executive who has made an election under this paragraph (e) may change such election as long as change is made not later than the last day permitted for making
such election.

		
		  	 (f)      No Change in Election Permitted After Deadline for Elections: Except as otherwise provided in
paragraph (e), once an Executive makes an election, such election may not be changed..

		
	Section 3.3	  	Forfeiture or Recoupment of Benefit:
		
		  	 (a)     General: If the Executive engages in any act or omission constituting misconduct, as that term is
defined in subsection (b) below, the Company shall have the rights set forth in subsection (c) to cause the Executive to forfeit unpaid Plan benefits, or to require the Executive to pay back to the Company any Plan benefits that have already been

information or intellectual property (including customer lists, supplier lists, pricing and cost data, computer programs, advertising plans, wage or salary data, financial information, research and development plans, etc.) and all other types of

		 	 (3)     The Executive, without the consent of the Company, directly or indirectly engages in, becomes employed by, or

		 	 (4)     The Executive induces, or attempts to induce, directly or indirectly, any of the Company’s customers,

constituting misconduct by the Executive, and the amount of the forfeiture of future Plan benefits or the amount to be repaid to the Company by the Executive in such case, shall be made by the Company in its sole determination.

		
		  	 (4)     The determination of the Company not to seek remedies against the Executive under this subsection (c) in
any case of misconduct, or the determination of the Company not to seek the full amount of remedy available to it, shall not constitute a waiver as to any other case of misconduct by the Executive.

		
		  	 (5)     The remedies under this subsection (c) may be enforced by any legal means available to the
Company.

		
		  	 (d)     Remedies Not Exclusive: The remedies set forth in this Section 3.3 shall not be the exclusive
remedies available to the Company in the event of the Executive’s misconduct, and the Company shall not be precluded from taking any or all other actions against the Executive that may be available to it.

		
	Section 3.4	  	Benefit Payments:
		
		  	 (a)     If a Payment Event occurs with respect to the Executive while he is employed with the Company, then he (or
his Beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive benefits as follows:

		
		  	 (1)     Retirement Payment: In the event that an Executive Separates from Service on or after his Early
Retirement Age or Normal Retirement Age, the Executive will be paid a Retirement Benefit payable as of the Executive’s Retirement Date or, if so elected, his Normal Retirement Date, adjusted according to the form of payment elected by the
Executive. If benefits are payable before the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age, such benefits shall be reduced for early commencement by multiplying the accrued benefit by the Early Retirement Adjustment Factors based on the Executive’s
age on the date of commencement.

		
		  	 (2)     Disability Payment: In the event that an Executive Separates from Service as a result of a Total
and Permanent Disability and such disability occurs prior to the Executive’s Early or Normal Retirement Date, a Retirement Benefit will be payable as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the second anniversary of the
date the Executive Separates from Service; provided, however, that an Executive may elect at least one year in

  

 11 

			
		 	 advance of the second anniversary of the date he Separates from Service to defer receipt of such benefit until the first day of the month coincident with or
next following the later of the seventh anniversary of the date the Executive Separates from Service or his Normal Retirement Age, but such election to defer receipt of benefits shall not be effective for twelve (12) months after the date such
election is made. The form of payment shall be the same form of payment that is applicable for a Retirement Payment.

		
		 	 If disability benefits are payable before the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age, such benefits shall be reduced for early commencement by multiplying the
accrued benefit by the Early Retirement Adjustment Factors based on the Executive’s age on the date of commencement. If the Disability Payment commences before age 55, then the benefit shall be further reduced by 1/360th for each month that the
Executive’s age on date of commencement precedes age 55.

		
		 	 If a disabled Executive recovers from disability before his Normal or Early Retirement Age, then any disability benefits he is receiving shall
cease.

		
		 	 (3)     Death Payment: In the event that the Executive dies before his or her Retirement Date, has five
(5) or more years of Service, and has been married for at least one year prior to his death, the Spouse shall receive a Life Annuity the monthly benefit under which is equal to 50% of the monthly amount that would have been payable to the
Executive under the Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity form and such amount shall be payable as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the later of the Executive’s death or the date on which the Executive would have reached
age 55. If the Spouse benefits commence before the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, they will be reduced according to the Early Retirement Adjustment Factor based on the Executive’s age (or age the Executive would have been had he
survived) on the date of benefit commencement.

		
		 	 If the Executive dies on or after his Retirement Date and before his benefits commence, the benefits will be paid according to the form of payment applicable to
the Executive.

		
		 	 (4)     Change-In-Control: Except as provided in Section 3.3, in the event that there is a
Change-In-Control of the Company, the Executive shall become fully vested and receive an immediate lump-sum distribution on the date that is thirty (30) days after the Change in Control or, if such date is not a business day, on the immediately
following business day, and the Plan shall terminate after each

  

 12 

			
		
		  	 such Executive has been paid. The lump sum distribution shall be equal to the greater of (i) the present value of the Retirement Benefit payable in a Life
Annuity calculated as of the Payment Event, or (ii) the present value of the Accrued Benefit deferred to Normal Retirement Age; with such present values being determined using the actuarial equivalent definition for lump sum payments in the
Retirement Plan, including the mortality table and interest rate specified therein.

		
		  	 (b)     Delay for Specified Employees: Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 3.4, if the
Executive is a Specified Employee at the time of the Payment Event, the commencement of his Retirement Payments or Disability Payments shall be delayed for a period of six months following the Executive’s date of Separation from Service. After
the passage of this six-month period, the first payment thereafter shall include any payments that were missed during the six-month delay plus interest at the same interest rate used to determine an optional form of payment under this Plan as of the

	Section 2.4	  	Calculation Date: June 1, 2005.
		
	Section 2.22	  	Retirement Date: July 1, 2005
		
	Section 2.23	  	Retirement Plan: The Caraustar Industries, Inc. Retirement Plan for Employees of Caraustar Industries, Inc. or the Smurfit Stone Pension Plan as amended from time to

	Section 2.24	  	Service: A period of employment beginning on December 7, 1962 and ending on the Employee’s Severance from Service.
		
	Section 2.24.1	  	Social Security Benefit: The annual old-age or disability insurance benefit of an Employee under Title II of the Social Security Act as in effect on the date he retires or otherwise
terminates employment to which the Employee is or, upon proper application, would be entitled at his Normal Retirement Age, disregarding the effect on actual entitlement of any earnings of the Employee (generally known as the “retirement
test”). The Social Security Benefit shall be computed on the assumption that the Employee will receive no income after termination of employment, or Normal Retirement Age, if earlier, which would be treated as wages for purposes of the Social
Security Act.
		
	Section 3.1	  	Accrued Benefit: The Accrued Benefit is an annual amount of $309,338.16, expressed as a single life annuity, calculated as of the Executive’s Calculation Date, equal to the product
of (A) times (B) minus (C) below, but not less than the Accrued Benefit determined under Section 3.1 of the main document.
		
		  	 (A)    is 1.5% of Average Annual Compensation offset by 1.5% of the Social Security Benefit, and

		
		  	 (B)    is years of Service (including a fraction for completed months) as of the Calculation Date,

Company paid deferred Compensation arrangements as of the Calculation Date.

		
	Section 3.3	  	Benefit Payments:
		
		  	 (a)     If a Payment Event occurs with respect to an Executive while an Executive is employed with the Company, and
if such Executive’s benefits hereunder are vested, then the Executive will receive his benefits

  

 16 

			
		 	 under a Fifty Percent (50%) Joint and Survivor Annuity, paid in monthly payments, with the initial annual amount being 90% of the Executive’s Accrued
Benefit, and with a 10-year guaranteed period (meaning that if the Executive dies less than 10 years after the commencement of the annuity payments, the Executive’s spouse or alternate Beneficiary will nevertheless receive the initial annual
amount of the annuity [ninety percent (90%) of the Accrued Benefit]).

		
		 	 (b)     Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 3.4, if the Executive is a Specified Employee at
the time of the Payment Event, commencement of his Retirement Payments shall be delayed until January 1, 2006.

		
		 	 (c)     On or after January 1, 2006, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, the Executive shall receive
an initial payment of $162,402.52, which amount includes the aggregate of the prior six months of deferred payments since Mr. Brown’s June 1, 2005 retirement, including interest thereon at the interest rate most recently used to
discount plan liabilities for FAS 87 purposes, and his regularly scheduled monthly payment of $23,200.36.

 (d) If Seller duly gives Buyer notice of an objection, and if Seller and Buyer fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Closing Purchase Price Certificate and the Closing Date Financial Statements within thirty
(30) days of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s objection notice, Seller and Buyer shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants (the “Independent Accountants”).
If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (i) Seller and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed
issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity 

  

 15 

 
to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants,
(ii) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Seller and Buyer within sixty (60) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be
final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall be used in the calculation of the Closing Date Financial Statements, and (iii) Seller and Buyer will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants
for such determination. Upon agreement with respect to all matters in dispute, or upon a decision of the Independent Accountants with respect to the matters in dispute, any post-closing adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be done by Seller paying
to any such deficiency to Buyer in immediately available funds. 
 2.12 Consents. 
 (a) If there are any Material Consents that have not yet been obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) as of the Closing, in the case of
each Seller Contract as to which such Material Consents were not obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) (the “Restricted Material Contracts”), Buyer may waive the closing conditions as to any such Material Consent
and elect to have Seller continue its efforts to obtain the Material Consents. 
 If Buyer elects to have Seller continue its efforts to
obtain any Material Consents and the Closing occurs, notwithstanding Sections 2.1 (Assets to be Sold) and 2.4 (Liabilities), neither this Agreement nor the Assignment and Assumption Agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the
Contemplated Transactions shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery of the Restricted Material Contracts, and following the
Closing, the parties shall use Best Efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain the Material Consent relating to each Restricted Material Contract as quickly as practicable. Pending the obtaining of such Material Consents relating to any
Restricted Material Contract, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the benefits of use of the Restricted Material Contract for its term (or any right or benefit arising
thereunder, including the enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereunder). Once a Material Consent for the sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance and delivery of a Restricted
Material Contract is obtained, Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Restricted Material Contract to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume the obligations under such Restricted Material Contract assigned to Buyer from and after the
date of assignment to Buyer pursuant to a special-purpose assignment and assumption agreement substantially similar in terms to those of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (which special-purpose agreement the parties shall prepare, execute and
deliver in good faith at the time of such transfer, all at no additional cost to Buyer). 
 (b) If there are any Consents not listed on
Schedule 5.3 necessary for the assignment and transfer of any Seller Contracts to Buyer (the “Non-material Consents”) which have not yet been obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) as of the Closing, Buyer
shall accept at the Closing, in the case of each of Seller Contracts as to which such Non-material Consents were not obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) (the “Restricted Non-material Contracts”), the assignment
of such Restricted Non-material Contract, and Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer to obtain the applicable Non-material Consent as soon as practicable after the Closing. 
 2.13 Closing Inventory. In determining the Closing Inventory Buyer shall not be obliged to purchase any inventory that is obsolete, unusable
and/or unsaleable. Buyer and Seller shall conduct a physical inventory count on or prior the Closing Date (but no more than 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date) at which time the parties shall jointly determine whether any inventory is
obsolete, 

  

 16 

 
unusable and/or unsaleable. Buyer and Seller shall each designate a representative to participate in the physical inventory count and who shall have the
authority to make a determination regarding whether any inventory is obsolete, unusable and/or unsaleable.

 3.3 Financial Statements. Seller has delivered to Buyer: (a) reviewed balance sheets of 57151

changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the fiscal years then ended, including in each case the notes thereto; and (b) a reviewed balance sheet of 57151 Manitoba Ltd. as at November 30, 2007, (the “Interim

present the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Seller as at the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such financial statements, all in accordance with GAAP. The
financial statements referred to in this Section reflect the consistent application of such accounting principles throughout the periods involved, except as disclosed in the notes to such financial statements. The financial statements referenced in
this Section and the Closing Date Financial Statements have been prepared from and are in accordance with the accounting Records of Seller. 
 3.4 Books and Records. The books of account and other financial Records of Seller, all of which have been made available to Buyer, are complete and correct and represent actual, bona fide transactions. 
 3.5 Sufficiency of Assets. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.5, the Assets (a) constitute all of the assets, tangible and intangible,
of any nature whatsoever, reasonably necessary to operate the Purchased Business in the manner presently operated by Seller. 
 3.6

 (i)
liens for Taxes for the current tax year which are not yet due and payable; and 
 (ii) those described in Schedule

 True and complete copies of (A) all deeds, existing title insurance
policies and surveys of or pertaining to the Real Property and (B) all instruments, agreements and other documents evidencing, creating or constituting any Real Estate Encumbrances have been delivered to Buyer. Seller warrants to Buyer that, at
the time of Closing, the Real Property shall be free and clear of all Real Estate Encumbrances other than only those identified on Schedule 3.8(a) (“Permitted Real Estate Encumbrances”). 
 (b) Seller owns good and transferable title to all of the other Assets, free and clear of any Encumbrances other than those described in Schedule

Seller warrants to Buyer that, at the time of Closing, all other Assets shall be free and clear of all Non-Real Estate Encumbrances other than those
identified on Schedule 3.8(b) as acceptable to Buyer (“Permitted Non-Real Estate Encumbrances” and, together with the Permitted Real Estate Encumbrances, “Permitted Encumbrances”). 
 3.9 Condition of Facilities. 
 (a) Use
of the Real Property for the various purposes for which it is presently being used is permitted as of right under all applicable zoning legal requirements. All Improvements are in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including those
pertaining to zoning, building and the disabled, are in reasonably good repair and in reasonably good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and are free from latent and patent defects. To the Knowledge of the Seller, no part of any Improvement
encroaches on any real property not included in the Real Property, and there are no buildings, structures, fixtures or other Improvements primarily situated on adjoining property which encroach on any part of the Land. The Land for each owned
Facility abuts on and has direct vehicular access to a public road or has access to a public road via a permanent, irrevocable, appurtenant easement benefiting such Land and comprising a part of the Real Property, is supplied with public or
quasi-public utilities and other services appropriate for the operation of the Facilities located thereon and is not located within any area subject to wetlands regulation or any similar restriction. To the Knowledge of Seller, there is no existing
or proposed plan to modify or realign any street or highway or any existing or proposed proceeding that would result in the taking of all or any part of any Facility or that would prevent or hinder the continued use of any Facility as heretofore
used in the conduct of the business of Seller. 
 (b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.9(b), each item of Tangible Personal Property
is in reasonably good repair and reasonably good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, is suitable for immediate use in the Ordinary Course of Business and is free from latent and patent defects. No item of Tangible Personal Property
is in need of repair or replacement other than as part of routine maintenance in the Ordinary Course of Business. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.9(b), all Tangible Personal Property used in Seller’s business is in the possession of
Seller. 
 3.10 Accounts Receivable. All Accounts Receivable that are reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet, on the Closing Date
Financial Statements or on the accounting Records of Seller as of the Closing Date represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed by Seller in the Ordinary Course of Business. Each of
such Accounts Receivable either has been or will be collected in full, without any setoff, within ninety (90) days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable. There is no material contest, claim, defense or right of setoff, other
than returns in the Ordinary Course of Business of Seller, under any Contract with any account debtor of an Account Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Account Receivable. Schedule 3.10 contains a complete and accurate list
of all Accounts Receivable as of the date of the Interim Balance Sheet, which list sets forth the aging of each such Account Receivable. 
 3.11 Inventories. All items included in the Inventories consist of a quality and quantity usable and, with respect to finished goods, saleable, in the Ordinary Course of Business of Seller, except for obsolete items and items of
below-standard quality, all of which have been written off or written down to net realizable value in the Interim Balance Sheet, in the Closing Date Financial Statements and accounting Records of Seller as of the Closing Date, as the case may be.
Seller is not in possession of any inventory not owned by Seller, except as set forth in Schedule 3.11. All of the Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories now on hand that were purchased after the date
of the Interim Balance Sheet were purchased in the Ordinary Course of Business of Seller at a cost not exceeding market prices prevailing at the time of purchase. The quantities of each item of Inventories (whether raw materials, work-in-process or
finished goods) are not excessive but are reasonable in the present circumstances of Seller. Work-in-process Inventories are now valued, and will be valued on the Closing Date, according to GAAP.

assessment received by Seller, except such Taxes, if any, as are listed in Schedule 3.13(a) and are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves (determined in accordance with GAAP) have been provided in the Interim Balance
Sheet. Except as provided in Schedule 3.13(a), Seller currently is not the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made or is expected to be made by any Governmental Body in a
jurisdiction where Seller does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no Encumbrances on any of the Assets that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax, and
Seller has no Knowledge of any basis for assertion of any claims attributable to Taxes which, if adversely determined, would result in any such Encumbrance. 
 (b) Delivery of Tax Returns and Information Regarding Audits and Potential Audits. Seller has delivered or made available to Buyer copies of all Tax Returns for 57151 Manitoba Ltd. filed since December 31,
2004. Schedule 3.13(b) contains a complete and accurate list of all Tax Returns of Seller that have been audited or are currently under audit and accurately describe any deficiencies or other amounts that were paid or are currently being
contested. To the Knowledge of Seller, no undisclosed deficiencies are expected to be asserted with respect to any such audit. All deficiencies proposed as a result of such audits have been paid, reserved against, settled or are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings as described in Schedule 3.13(b). Seller has delivered, or made available to Buyer, copies of any examination reports, statements or deficiencies or similar items with respect to such audits. Except as
provided in Schedule 3.13(b), Seller has no Knowledge that any Governmental Body is likely to assess any additional taxes for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed. There is no dispute or claim concerning any Taxes of Seller either
(i) claimed or raised by any Governmental Body in writing or (ii) as to which Seller has Knowledge. Except as described in Schedule 3.13(b), Seller has not given or been requested to give waivers or extensions (or is or would be
subject to a waiver or extension given by any other Person) of any statute of limitations relating to the payment of Taxes of Seller or for which Seller may be liable. 
 (c) Proper Accrual. The charges, accruals and reserves with respect to Taxes on the Records of Seller are adequate (determined in accordance with GAAP) and to the Knowledge of Seller are at least equal to
Seller’s liability for Taxes. To the Knowledge of Seller, there exists no proposed tax assessment or deficiency against Seller except as disclosed in the Interim Balance Sheet or the Closing Date Financial Statements. 
  

 20 

 (d) Specific Potential Tax Liabilities and Tax Situations. 
 (i) Withholding. All Taxes that Seller is or was required by Legal Requirements, including the Income Tax Act (Canada), to

similar written or unwritten agreement, arrangement, understanding or practice with respect to Taxes (including any advance pricing agreement, closing agreement or other arrangement relating to Taxes) that will require any payment by Seller.

 3.14 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2006, there has not been any material adverse change in the business,
operations, prospects, assets, results of operations or condition (financial or other) of Seller, and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may result in such a material adverse change, other than any adverse change, effect or

Seller will cooperate with Buyer in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those business relationships of Seller existing prior to the Closing and relating to the business to be operated by Buyer after the Closing, including
relationships with lessors, employees, regulatory authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others, and Seller will satisfy the Retained Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. Seller will refer to Buyer
all inquiries relating to such business. Neither Seller nor any of its officers, employees, agents or shareholders shall take any action that would tend to diminish the value of the Assets after the Closing or that would interfere with the business

 8.6 Time Limitations on Survival of Representations Warranties and Covenants. 
 The covenants, representations and warranties and the obligations of indemnification herein made by the Seller and/or the Buyer, as the case may be,
contained in this agreement, or contained in any document or certificate given in order to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby, will survive the closing of the purchase of the Assets, provided for herein and, notwithstanding such closing,
shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the other party hereto, subject to the following provisions of this section: 
 (a) Except as provided in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this section, such obligation shall continue for twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date. The party alleging breach and/or claiming indemnification hereunder
shall give the other party notice of any claim with such particularity as is reasonably possible as soon as such party has reasonable grounds for believing that a breach has been committed and/or a claim for indemnification is available and, in any
event, such notice shall be given not later than the end period of the twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date. 
 (b) Any
Claim which is based on or relates to the breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or a right to indemnification in respect to a tax liability shall extend until the expiration of the period (if any) during which an assessment, re- assessment
or other form of recognized documents assessing liability for tax, interest or penalty under applicable tax legislation could be issued, assuming that no waiver or similar document is filed to extend such period as otherwise determined. 

(c) Any Claim which is based on or relates to the title to the Assets or the Retained Liabilities, Article VII regarding Additional Covenants, Article
IX regarding Confidentiality, or which is based on intentional misrepresentation or fraud by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, may be brought at any time. 
 After the expiration of the period of time referred to in subparagraph (a) of this section, and subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the obligations of the Seller
and/or the Buyer, as the case may be, with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and/or indemnification obligations contained in this agreement or in any document or certificate given in order to carry out the transactions
contemplated hereby, and except with respect to any claims of which notice has been validly given in accordance with this section, shall terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations to one another in respect thereto; 
 8.7 Third-Party Claims. 
 (a) Promptly
after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 8.2 (Indemnification and Reimbursement by Seller) or Section 8.3, (Indemnification and Reimbursement by Buyer) (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the
assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim
is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice. 
 (b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying
Person pursuant to Section 8.7(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying
Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying 

  

 40 

 
Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification
with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense
of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article VIII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense
of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a
Third-Party Claim, (i) such assumption will establish conclusively for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement
of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s Consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person,
(B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person, and (C) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims effected
without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s
notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made reasonably and in good faith in such Third-Party Claim or any
compromise or settlement effected reasonably and in good faith by the Indemnified Person. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party
Claim may adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the
exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement
effected without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). 
 (c) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to
indemnification under this Article VIII: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all
stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel; and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith
with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 10.4 (Jurisdiction; Service of Process), Seller hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Buyer Indemnified Person for purposes of any
claim that a Buyer Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on Seller with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world. 
 (e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VIII, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to
preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use its Best Efforts, in respect of
any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure); and (ii) all communications between 

  

 41 

 
any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to
preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege. 
 8.8 Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not
involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice from the Indemnified Person to the Indemnifying Person within the time limits herein provided together with the information relied upon by the Indemnified Person to substantiate the claim. The
Indemnifying Person shall have a period of fifteen (15) days from receipt of the notice and information as aforesaid to make such investigation of the claim as is considered necessary and the parties shall cooperate with the exchange of any
information reasonably requested to substantiate or clarify the claim. At the end of the fifteen (15) day period of investigation, if both parties agree to the amount of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified
Party the full agreed amount of the claim. If the claim or any portion thereof is in dispute, Caraustar may exercise its set-off rights under Section 8.11 and the parties may agree to refer the matter to binding arbitration in accordance with
the provisions of the Arbitration Act of Manitoba. 
 8.9 Exclusivity. The provision of this Article VIII shall apply to any claim for
breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or other provision of this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto (other than a claim for specific performance or injunctive relief) with the intent that
all such Claims shall be subject to the limitations and other provisions contained in this Article VIII. 
 8.10 Quantification of
Damages. The amount of any Damages which may be claimed by either party hereunder shall be calculated to be the cost or loss to such party after giving effect to any insurance proceeds received by such party in relation to the matter which is
the subject of the claim (net of expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or benefit). 
 8.11 Right of Set-Off. Buyer shall have
the right to satisfy any amounts owing by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, including amounts owing by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Article VIII hereof, against amounts due and payable to Seller under the Plant Lease Agreement (including
the purchase price for the Plant Lease Property upon Buyer’s exercise of its option to purchase the Plant Lease Property). 
 ARTICLE
IX

 (b) Any trade secrets of a Disclosing Party shall also be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under applicable trade secret law and any other applicable law. If any information that a Disclosing Party deems to be a trade secret
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Article, such information shall still be considered Confidential Information of that Disclosing Party for purposes of this Article to the extent included
within the definition. In the case of trade secrets, each of Buyer, Seller hereby waives any requirement that the other party submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security. 
 9.2 Restricted Use of Confidential Information. 
 (a) Each Receiving Party acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and agrees that such Confidential Information (i) shall be kept confidential
by the Receiving Party; (ii) shall not be used for any reason or purpose other than to evaluate and consummate the Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) without limiting the foregoing, shall not be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any
Person, except in each case as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or with the prior written consent of an authorized representative of Seller with respect to Confidential Information of Seller (each, a “Seller
Contact”) or an authorized representative of Buyer with respect to Confidential Information of Buyer (each, a “Buyer Contact”). Each of Buyer and Seller shall disclose the Confidential Information of the other party only to
its Representatives who require such material for the purpose of evaluating the Contemplated Transactions and are informed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of the obligations of this Article with respect to such information. Each of Buyer and
Seller shall (iv) enforce the terms of this Article as to its respective Representatives; (v) take such action to the extent necessary to cause its Representatives to comply with the terms and conditions of this Article; and (vi) be
responsible and liable for any breach of the provisions of this Article VIII by it or its Representatives. 
 (b) For a period of five
(5) years following the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain as confidential any Confidential Information (including for this purpose any information of Seller of the type referred to in Sections 9.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), whether or not
disclosed to Buyer) of Seller relating to any of the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. 
  

 43

 9.4 Legal Proceedings. If a Receiving Party becomes compelled in any Proceeding or is requested by a Governmental Body having regulatory
jurisdiction over the Contemplated Transactions to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Article, that Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such compulsion or request so that it
may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Article. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, the Receiving Party may disclose that portion (and only that portion)
of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that, based upon advice of the Receiving Party’s counsel, the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose or that has been requested by such Governmental Body; provided,
however, that the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any Person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed. The provisions of this
Section 9.4 do not apply to any Proceedings between the parties to this Agreement. 
 9.5 Attorney-Client Privilege. The
Disclosing Party is not waiving, and will not be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing its Confidential
Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party, regardless of whether the Disclosing Party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The

Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates, (c) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should either party become subject to any actual or threatened Proceeding to
which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates, and (d) intend that after the Closing the Receiving Party shall have the right to assert such protections and privileges. No
Receiving Party shall admit, claim or contend, in Proceedings involving either party or otherwise, that any Disclosing Party waived any of its attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges with
respect to any information, documents or other material not disclosed to a Receiving Party due to the Disclosing Party disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the
Receiving Party.

reasonably the total amount due of Realty Taxes and the amount of the equal monthly instalments thereof, based on the preceding year’s Realty Tax invoices, and notify the Tenant in writing of such estimate. From time to time during the year,
the Landlord may re-estimate the amounts payable for such year based on additional Realty Taxes invoices received, in which event the Landlord shall notify the Tenant in writing of such re-estimate accordingly and fix monthly instalments for the
remaining balance of such year. Provided that if the Landlord so directs, the Tenant shall pay Realty Taxes directly to the taxing authorities. In that event, the Tenant shall make payments, on or before the due date, of each instalment and shall

	 	(d)	The cost of all insurance required to be maintained by the Landlord pursuant to Article 5 hereof. 

 Upon request by the Landlord, the Tenant shall
deliver promptly to the Landlord receipts for payment of all charges payable by the Tenant pursuant to this section 2.03 which were due and payable up to one (1) month prior to such request, and shall furnish to the Landlord, upon request,
evidence of payments before the 31st day of December in each year covering payments for the preceding year.

Periods. If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to calculate Base Rent or Additional Rent for irregular periods an appropriate pro rata adjustment will be made on a daily basis in order to compute such rent for such irregular period.

unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (calculated monthly at the rate of one percent (1%)) such interest to be calculated, but not compounded, from the time such Rent becomes due until paid by the
Tenant.

all other remedies it has under this Lease, may require the Tenant at the Tenant’s cost to cause such Hazardous Substance or Substances to be removed to cause the Premises to be properly restored and repaired all in accordance with any

proper state of repair and that it shall indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from and against all liability for personal injuries, death or property damage or loss caused from the placing or fixing any such sign or advertisement.

forth in this subparagraph are intended to result in any loss or damage which is covered by insurance, being borne by the insurance carrier of the Landlord
or the Tenant, as the case may be, or by the party having the insurable interest to the extent that such loss is not covered by insurance and this Lease requires such party to maintain insurance to cover such loss. Landlord and Tenant agree that
such waivers and releases were freely bargained for and willingly and voluntarily agreed to by Landlord and Tenant and do not constitute a violation of public policy. 
 5.05 Non-liability of Landlord. Except for the negligence of the Landlord or as arises from Landlord’s failure to maintain the Premises as required under this Lease, the Tenant agrees that the
Landlord shall not be liable or responsible in any way for any personal injury that may be sustained by the Tenant or any employee or customer of the Tenant, or of any other person who may be upon the Premises or sidewalks, parking areas, highways
or loading areas adjacent thereto, or for any loss of or damage or injury to, property belonging to or in the possession of the Tenant or any employee or customer of the Tenant or any other person, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Landlord shall not be liable or responsible in any way for any injury, loss or damage to person or property caused by smoke, steam, water, ice, rain, snow or fumes which may leak, issue or flow into, through or from the Premises or
from the water sprinkler, drainage or smoke pipes or plumbing equipment therein (as long as these have not leaked due to a condition pre-existing the date of this Lease) or from any other place or quarter or caused by or attributable to the
condition or arrangement of any electrical or other wiring or the air-conditioning equipment (as long as these have not failed due to a condition pre-existing the date of this Lease), or, for any matter or thing of whatsoever nature or kind arising
from the Tenant’s use and occupation of the Premises. 
 5.06 Indemnification by Tenant. The Tenant does hereby indemnify and save
harmless the Landlord from and against any and all liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action, claims, suits and judgments which the Landlord may incur or suffer or be put to by reason of or in connection with or arising from:

  

	 	(a)	any breach, violation or non-performance by the Tenant of any covenant, condition or agreement of Tenant set forth in this Lease; and 

  

	 	(b)	any damage, injury, or loss of property or life occasioned by the Tenant’s use or occupation of the Premises; and 

  

	 	(c)	All costs, expenses and reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis incurred by the Landlord in enforcing this Lease (subject to any limitation contained within
The Distress Act (Manitoba), or any similar legislation which may attempt to limit the costs which a Landlord may be entitled to recover in the enforcement of its rights hereunder); 

 except to the extent that any such claim arises as a result of a breach or the negligent performance by the Landlord of its obligations hereunder. 
 5.07 Indemnification by Landlord. The Landlord does hereby indemnify and save harmless the Tenant from and against any and all liabilities, damages, costs,
expenses, causes of action, claims, suits and judgments which the Tenant may incur or suffer or be put to by reason of or in connection with or arising from: 
  

	 	(a)	any breach, violation or non-performance by the Landlord of any covenant, condition or agreement of Landlord set forth in this Lease; and 

	 	(b)	any claim based upon the Landlord’s ownership of the Premises and not otherwise the responsibility of the Tenant hereunder; and 

  

	 	(c)	All costs, expenses and reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis incurred by the Tenant in enforcing this Lease; 

 except to the extent that any such claim arises as a result of a breach or the negligent performance by the Tenant of its obligations hereunder. 
 5.08 Survival of Indemnification. Sections 5.06 and 5.07 of this Lease shall survive any termination of this Lease for a period of two (2) years,
anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding. 
 ARTICLE 6 - DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION; LOSS OF ACCESS 
 TO PREMISES, ETC. 
 6.01 Damage to or Destruction
of Premises. 
  

	 	(a)	If the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty for which the Landlord is insured, but are not thereby rendered untenantable in whole or in part, the Landlord shall at
its own expense cause such damage, excluding damage to Tenant’s Tangible Personal Property, to be repaired and the Base Rent shall not abate. If by reason of such occurrence the Premises shall be rendered untenantable only in part, the Landlord
shall, at its own expense, cause the damage, excluding damage to Tenant’s Tangible Personal Property, to be repaired and the Base Rent meanwhile shall abate proportionately. If the Premises shall be rendered wholly untenantable by reason of
such occurrence the Landlord shall at its own expense cause such damage, excluding damage to Tenant’s Tangible Personal Property, to be repaired, and the Base Rent shall abate until the Premises have been restored and rendered tenantable, or
either the Landlord or the Tenant may, at its election, terminate this Lease and the tenancy hereby created by giving to the other within sixty (60) days following the date of said occurrence, written notice of their election so to do and in
the event of such termination Rent shall be adjusted as of the date of said occurrence. 

  

	 	(b)	It is understood and agreed that nothing contained in this section 6.01 shall obligate the Landlord to rebuild the Premises or any part thereof at all or according to original plans
and specifications. 

 ARTICLE 7 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 
 7.01 Consent to Transfers. Assignments. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Tenant shall not assign or sublet or part with possession of all or any
part of the Premises or Tenant’s interest under this Lease, without the prior written consent of 

 
the Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld or delayed. The consent by the Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a waiver of its consent to a subsequent assignment or subletting. Despite an assignment to other than a Permitted Assignee (defined below), the Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease. An assignment of this Lease, if consented
to by the Landlord, shall be prepared by the Landlord or its solicitors, and all reasonable legal costs of its preparation shall be paid by the Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign without Landlord’s consent, to a Permitted
Assignee. A “Permitted Assignee” means (A); any business into or with which the then Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of the then Tenant’s assets are transferred or (B) to any Affiliate of
Tenant, provided that (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such assignment or
transfer, or (2) the net worth of the original Tenant on the date of this Lease, and (ii) proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth is delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any
such transaction. An “Affiliate” means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified, or any relative or spouse of such
person, or any relation of such spouse. As used in this definition, “person” means any individual, entity, association, or organization, and “control” (including “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under
common control”) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power, exercised or not, to direct or manage the business or operations of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. 
 Landlord may not assign or transfer any right to use or occupy all or any part of the Premises, but upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant and without
being released hereunder, may sell the entire Premises to a third party (subject to this Lease and all terms and conditions set forth herein, including without limitation Tenant’s purchase option). 
 7.02 Assignment or Sublease Form. No assignment or subletting required to be consented to shall be valid unless prior to the date of occupancy by the
proposed assignee or subtenant a fully executed duplicate original of such assignment or sublease in form reasonably acceptable and satisfactory to the Landlord is delivered to the Landlord. 
 7.03 Encumbrance of Interest in Lease. Each party may, without the other’s prior consent in writing, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise
encumber its interests in this Lease or in the Premises in connection with any financing of such party. Any such encumbrance of the Premises by Landlord’s action will be subject to the prior rights of the Tenant under this Lease and Landlord
will procure such non-disturbance agreements from its lender(s) as Tenant reasonably requires. 
 7.04 Disposition of Lands and Premises.
Following any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of the Premises made or given by the Tenant, Tenant shall not be released hereunder. 

 ARTICLE EIGHT - PERFORMANCE OF TENANT’S COVENANTS, DEFAULT AND BANKRUPTCY 
 8.01 Landlord may Perform Covenants. If the Tenant makes default in any of its covenants and agreements herein, then the Landlord, without limiting any
other remedy which it may have, shall have the right to remedy any such default and for such purpose may at any time enter upon the Premises. No entry for such purpose shall be deemed to cause a forfeiture or termination of this Lease. In order to
cure such default, the Landlord may do all things necessary to cure the default and such things as may be incidental thereto, including without limitation, the right to make repairs and to expend monies. Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord forthwith
upon demand as Additional Rent hereunder the aggregate of all costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Landlord in remedying any such default plus 3% of same. The Landlord shall be under no obligation to remedy any default of the Tenant, and
shall not incur any liability of the Tenant for any action or omission in the course of its remedying or attempting to remedy any such default unless such act amounts to negligence on the part of the Landlord. 
 8.02 Rights of Termination. 
 If and whenever: 
  

	 	(a)	The Tenant shall fail to pay when due any part of the Rent for a period of seven (7) days after written notice to Tenant of such failure (subject to the Tenant Set-off Right);
or 

  

	 	(b)	The Tenant shall fail to observe, perform and keep any one or more of the covenants, provisions or stipulations (other than such as relate to payment of any part of the Rent) to be
observed, performed or kept by the Tenant hereunder and if such failure shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice to the Tenant of such failure, except that if Tenant has commenced curative actions during such
period, the Tenant is entitled to such additional time as reasonably necessary to complete the curative actions; or 

  

	 	(c)	The Term hereby granted or any of the goods or chattels on the Premises are at any time repossessed, seized, or taken in execution or attachment by any creditor of the Tenant; or

  

	 	(d)	A writ of execution or replevin order issues against the goods or chattels of the Tenant and remains unmediated for a period of thirty (30) days; 

  

	 	(e)	The Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or becoming bankrupt or insolvent takes the benefit of, or becomes subject to any statutes that may be in force relating
to bankrupt or insolvent debtors (the appointment of a receiver or receiver and manager of the property and assets of the Tenant being conclusive evidence of insolvency); or 

  

	 	(f)	Any certificate or order is made or granted for the winding-up or dissolution of the Tenant, voluntarily or otherwise; or 

	 	(g)	If the Premises at any time during the Term become vacant in consequence of established abandonment by the Tenant and its operations at the Premises have ceased, which abandonment
will be deemed after 30 days of uninterrupted lack of any occupancy or use of any type of the Premises by the Tenant (maintenance or vacation shutdowns of operations or the buildings at or on the Premises are not “abandonment”);

 then in any of the said cases, at the option and discretion of the Landlord, and on written notice to Tenant, the Lease and the Term shall
become forfeited and void and the Landlord may without notice or any form of legal process whatever forthwith re-enter the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and repossess and enjoy the same as of its former estate, anything
contained in any statute or law to the contrary notwithstanding. Such forfeiture shall be wholly without prejudice to the right of the Landlord to recover arrears of Rent or damages for any breach of the Tenant’s covenants, obligations or
agreements under this Lease, and provided that notwithstanding any such forfeiture the Landlord may subsequently recover from the Tenant damages for loss of Rent suffered by reason of this Lease having been rendered forfeited and void as aforesaid.
No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by the Landlord shall be construed as an election on the part of the Landlord to terminate this Lease unless at the time of or subsequent to such re-entry or taking up possession written notice
of such intention has been given to the Tenant or such termination is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 If and whenever: 
  

	 	(h)	The Landlord shall fail to observe, perform and keep any one or more of the covenants, provisions or stipulations to be observed, performed or kept by the Landlord hereunder and if
such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice to the Landlord of such failure, except that if Tenant has commenced curative actions during such period, the Landlord is entitled to such additional time as
reasonably necessary to complete the curative actions; or 

  

	 	(i)	The Landlord makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or becoming bankrupt or insolvent takes the benefit of, or becomes subject to any statutes that may be in force
relating to bankrupt or insolvent debtors (the appointment of a receiver or receiver and manager of the property and assets of the Landlord being conclusive evidence of insolvency); or 

  

	 	(j)	If at any time during the eighteen (18) month period commencing on the date hereof, any certificate or order is made or granted for the winding-up or dissolution of the
Landlord, voluntarily or otherwise; 

  

	 	(k)	If the Premises is seized or taken by legal process for any other cause arising with Landlord; or 

  

	 	(l)	 Tenant has claim made in good faith against Landlord (as Vendor) under the Asset Purchase Agreement for a material unremedied breach by the Landlord under the Asset
Purchase Agreement, which breach has not 

	 	 
been remedied by the Landlord within sixty (60) days after written notice by the Tenant to the Landlord, and which claim cannot be reasonably be
satisfied by the Tenant exercising the Tenant Set-off Right; 

 then in any of the said cases, at the option and discretion of the Tenant,
and on written notice to Landlord, this Lease shall become forfeited and void and the Tenant will have no further obligation to pay any Rent or otherwise have any obligations hereunder. The Tenant accepts that if the Tenant exercised the Tenant
Set-off Right in connection with its right to terminate the Lease, then following adjudication of the dispute giving rise thereto and the determination that the claim supporting the Tenant Set-off Right did not have merit, then the Tenant will be
liable to the Landlord for the balance due of Base Rent for the remainder of the Term as otherwise would have been in effect (the “Rental Reimbursement”). The Rental Reimbursement will be treated as past due under Section 2.06
from the date that the Tenant Set-off Right was exercised and effected, until the Rental Reimbursement is paid to the Landlord. The Rental Reimbursement will be reduced by the amount of any rent that the Landlord collects during the period following
the Tenant’s termination of this Lease and the Landlord agrees that it must reasonably strive to mitigate its damages in respect thereof. 
 8.03
Waiver with Respect to Re-entry. If the Landlord does not exercise its option under section 8.02 to terminate this Lease it may in addition to any remedies available to the Landlord herein, or at law or in equity, from time to time,
re-enter the Premises without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises as agent of the Tenant for such period or periods (which may extend beyond the Term) and at such rentals and
upon such terms and conditions as the Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. All reasonable expenses the Landlord may incur in reletting the Premises, including legal fees and disbursements and real estate fees and commissions and
expenses of preparing the Premises for reletting shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord forthwith on demand. Upon such reletting, rent received by the Landlord shall be applied first to the payment of said reasonable expenses, second to the
payment of any indebtedness (other than Rent) due from the Tenant to the Landlord, and third, to the payment of Rent. The residue, if any, shall be held by the Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable. If
rentals received from such reletting during any month are less than that to be paid during that month by the Tenant hereunder, the Tenant shall forthwith pay any such deficiencies to the Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by
the Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention has been given to the Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, the Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease by reason of such previous event. Should the Landlord at any time terminate this Lease by reason of any such event, in
addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from the Tenant all damages it may incur with respect thereto including the cost of recovering the Premises and the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount
of Rent, for the remainder of the Term over the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Term, all of which rent shall be immediately due and payable from the Tenant to the Landlord. 
 8.04 Remedies of Landlord and Tenant are Cumulative. The respective remedies of the Landlord and Tenant under this Lease are cumulative and are in addition
to any remedies of the Landlord at law or in equity but separate from any remedies set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. No remedy shall be deemed to be exclusive. 

 8.05 Bankruptcy and Insolvency. In the event of default by the Tenant pursuant to subsection 8.02(e) then
the then current and next ensuing three (3) months Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall become due and payable. 
 8.06 Landlord’s Rights on
Re-entry. The Tenant agrees that in the event the Landlord shall be entitled to re-enter and re-take possession of the Premises after Tenant has defaulted hereunder and not cured the Tenant breach of this Lease, Landlord may use such force
as it reasonably deems necessary for that purpose and for gaining admittance to the Premises without being liable in respect thereof for any loss or damage occasioned thereby. The Tenant hereby expressly releases the Landlord from all action,
proceedings, claims and demands whatsoever for or in respect of any such forcible entry, or any loss or damage that may be sustained by the Tenant in respect thereto. 
 ARTICLE 9 - SURRENDER OF PREMISES AND REMOVAL OF FIXTURES 
 9.01. Surrender. Subject to
Section 9.04 hereof, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the Term and any period of overholding, the Tenant shall surrender to the Landlord possession of the Premises, in reasonable order, condition and repair in
accordance with the Tenant’s obligation to repair and maintain hereunder, and free and clear of all encumbrances and claims by or through the Tenant or any creditor of the Tenant, and all the rights of the Tenant under this Lease shall
terminate (but the Tenant, notwithstanding such termination, shall remain and be liable to the Landlord for any loss, damage, expenses or costs suffered or incurred by the Landlord by reason of any default by the Tenant). 
 9.02 Document of Surrender. If this Lease and the Term are terminated for any reason, the Tenant shall execute and deliver to the Landlord, and the
Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant, any and all documents reasonably required to surrender this Lease and to document its termination. 
 9.03
Condition of the Premises. Without restricting the generality of Section 9.01, the Tenant, immediately before the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, shall wash the floors and leave the Premises in a clean condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. 
 9.04 Removal of Fixtures. If the Tenant damages the Premises during removal of any Tangible Personal
Property the Tenant shall make good such damage. In no event shall the Tenant remove any part of the Premises, including without limitation any building or any plumbing, heating, air-conditioning or automatic door systems, electrical or ventilating
plant or equipment or other building services. Landlord shall be entitled upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease to require the Tenant to, and the Tenant shall, remove its installations, alterations, additions, partitions and
fixtures and anything in the nature of improvements made or installed by the Tenant and to make good any damage caused to the Premises by such removal. Landlord acknowledges Tenant’s ownership of all Tangible Personal Property and the right of
the Tenant to remove all of same and any other Tenant property hereafter installed at the Premises, upon any termination or expiration of this Lease. 

 ARTICLE 10 - GENERAL 
 10.01 Obligations as Covenants. Each obligation of the Landlord or the Tenant expressed in this Lease, even though not expressed as a covenant, is considered to be a covenant for all purposes.

 10.02 Non-performance by Landlord. Whenever the Landlord is unable to fulfill any obligation hereunder in respect of the provision of any
service, utility, work or repairs by reason of being unable to obtain the materials, goods, equipment, service, utility or labour required to enable it to fulfill such obligation or by reason of any law or regulation or by reason of any other cause
beyond its reasonable control, the Landlord will be entitled to extend the time for fulfillment of such obligation by a time equal to the duration of the delay or restriction. The Tenant will not be entitled to any compensation for any
inconvenience, nuisance or discomfort thereby occasioned, or to cancel this Lease (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease). 
 10.03
Overholding. If the Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of this Lease and without the execution and delivery of a new lease, the Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises and remove the
Tenant therefrom and the Landlord may use such force as it may deem necessary for that purpose without being liable in respect thereof or for any loss or damage occasioned thereby; PROVIDED THAT while the Tenant remains in possession after the
expiration of this Lease, and the Landlord accepts rent, the tenancy, in the absence of written agreement, will be from month to month only at a rent per month equal to two (2) times the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable in respect of the
month immediately preceding expiration of this Lease, in each case payable in advance on the 1st day of each month and shall be subject to all terms of this Lease, except that the tenancy will be from month to month and a tenancy from year to year
will not be created by implication of law. 
 10.04 Signs. The Landlord may from time to time place upon the Premises notices of reasonable
dimensions and reasonably placed so as not to interfere with the business of the Tenant stating that the Lands are for sale, and during the last four months of the Term may similarly place signs stating that the Premises are for let. 
 10.05 Inspection. The Landlord or its representatives may exhibit the Premises upon reasonable notice at reasonable times to prospective tenants during the
last four months of the Term and may also exhibit the Premises at reasonable times for the purposes of the Landlord’s own financing and for prospective purchasers, provided such inspections shall be conducted with minimal disruption to the
Tenant’s business. 
 10.06 Acknowledgment by the Tenant. The Tenant will execute promptly, when requested by the Landlord, a certificate
(which may be referred to as an estoppel certificate) in favour of any mortgagee or purchaser of the Landlord certifying the status of this Lease, any modifications or breaches of this Lease, and the status of the rent account, and any other matters
which may reasonably be requested by the Landlord, all with the intent that any such acknowledgment or certificate may be relied upon by any party to whom it is directed. 

 10.07 Acknowledgment by the Landlord. The Landlord will execute promptly, when requested by the Tenant, an
estoppel certificate in favour of any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Tenant certifying the status of this Lease, any modifications or breaches of this Lease, and the status of the rent account, and any other matters which may reasonably
be requested by the Tenant, all with the intent that any such estoppel certificate may be relied upon by any party to whom it is directed.
