 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue to Grantee, as
                                        
of the Company,
                                        
                                       
                             
(            ) shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”); and 
 WHEREAS, Grantee desires to accept the issuance of the Shares subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and is eligible to receive
the Shares. 
 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Grantee’s agreement to provide future services to the Company and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Grantee
hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Shares. The Company hereby grants the Shares to Grantee, subject to all of the restrictions and
the other terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement. Unless sooner vested in accordance with Section 3 hereof, and provided that Grantee is then still employed by the Company on the respective dates indicated below, the
restrictions imposed under Section 2 hereof on the Shares will expire and the Restricted Shares (as hereinafter defined) shall vest as to the number of the Restricted Shares as set forth below on each of the respective dates as set forth below:

						
	 Number of Shares
	  	Date	  	Cumulative Percentage	 
		  	                ,2010	  	50	%
		  	                ,2013	  	100	%

 Upon each of the foregoing dates, the number of Restricted Shares indicated above shall cease to
be subject to the restrictions described herein. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “vesting” shall have the effect of converting Restricted Shares into unrestricted Shares. 
 2. Restrictions. The Shares are subject to each of the restrictions set forth in this Section 2 and “Restricted Shares” mean
those Shares that are subject to the restrictions imposed hereunder which have not then expired or terminated. Except as provided in Section 12(a) of the Plan, Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, assigned, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise encumbered; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee may transfer all or part of the Restricted Shares to one or more trusts for the benefit of Grantee’s immediate family members (which for
purposes hereof shall be limited to the Grantee’s children, grandchildren and spouse) or partnerships in which such immediate family members and/or trusts are the only partners; provided that any such transfer of Restricted Shares shall remain
subject to all of the restrictions and other terms and conditions hereof and the transferee shall execute any and all documents required by the Company to confirm the foregoing. If Grantee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason
other than as set forth in paragraphs (b) or (c) of Section 3 hereof, then Grantee shall forfeit, without the payment or providing of any consideration or other amounts of any kind whatsoever to Grantee, all of Grantee’s right,
title and interest in and to the Restricted Shares as of and after the date of employment termination and such Restricted Shares shall automatically revert to the Company immediately following the event of forfeiture. The restrictions imposed under
this Section 2 shall apply to all shares of the Company’s Common Stock or other securities issued with respect to Restricted Shares hereunder in connection with any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend,
stock split, business combination or other change in corporate structure directly or indirectly in any way affecting the Common Stock of the Company. 
 3. Expiration and Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed under Section 2 will expire on the earliest to occur of the following (the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein
as the “Restricted Period”): 
 (a) As to the number of Restricted Shares as and to the extent indicated on the respective
dates specified in Section 1 hereinabove; provided, however, that Grantee on those respective dates is then still employed by the Company; 
 (b) As to all of the unvested Restricted Shares, on the date of termination of Grantee’s employment by reason of death or 

  

 2 

 
“Disability” or “Retirement.” For the purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean permanent
disability as determined by the Compensation Committee under the Plan, in its sole and absolute discretion, and “Retirement” shall mean Grantee’s retirement from employment on or after Grantee’s 65th birthday, provided that Grantee has been employed for at least five (5) years as of the date of Grantee’s retirement; or 
 (c) As to all of the unvested Restricted Shares, upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as such term is defined below). For
purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (i) any person or entity unaffiliated with the Company is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;
(ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a reorganization or recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person or entity acquires
more than fifty (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control of the Company; or (iii) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company directly or
indirectly, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or accounts other than (x) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a subsidiary of the Company or to a person or persons who
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale or (y) pursuant to a spin-off type transaction,
directly or indirectly, of such assets to the stockholders of the Company. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Change in
Control be deemed to have occurred, with respect to Grantee, if Grantee is part of a purchasing group which consummates a transaction causing a Change in Control. Grantee shall be deemed “ part of a purchasing group” for purposes of the
preceding sentence if Grantee is a direct or indirect equity participant in the purchasing company or group; provided however, that Grantee shall not be considered part of a purchasing group if Grantee owns, directly or indirectly, 1% or less of the
outstanding securities of the purchasing company or group. 
 4. Delivery of Shares. 
 (a) Delivery to Grantee. The Restricted Shares will be issued to Grantee as of the Grant Date and will be held by Grantee during the Restricted
Period in certificated form. Such certificate or certificates for the Shares shall bear a legend under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as and in such form as required by the Company and during the Restricted Period
shall bear the following legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any additional legends required under applicable state securities laws): 
  

 3 

 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN FORFEITURE
AND RETRANSFER OBLIGATIONS, RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (THE “AGREEMENT”) BETWEEN TRADESTATION GROUP, INC., A FLORIDA CORPORATION, AND
                                 EFFECTIVE AS OF
                                , 200    , A COPY OF
WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF ANY KIND IN CONFLICT WITH, OR IN DEROGATION OF THE AGREEMENT, IS VOID AND OF NO LEGAL FORCE, EFFECT OR VALIDITY WHATSOEVER.” 

Stock certificates for the Shares, without the above legend, shall be delivered to Grantee or Grantee’s designee upon request of Grantee after
the expiration of the Restricted Period (or from time to time with respect and up to that portion of the Restricted Shares which is deemed to have vested at such time and becomes unrestricted Shares hereunder), but delivery may be postponed for such
period as may be required for the Company with reasonable diligence to comply, if deemed advisable by the Company, with registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, listing requirements under the rules of any stock
exchange, and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares. 
 (b) Delivery to
Company Upon Forfeiture. As set forth above, all Restricted Shares forfeited pursuant to the terms hereof shall be automatically transferred to the Company by Grantee or the holder thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing and immediately upon
the request of the Company, Grantee shall deliver and/or execute all certificates and other instruments necessary to effectuate the transfer of the Restricted Shares to the Company, including, without limitation, a stock power, all in such form and
substance as acceptable to the Company in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. 
 5. Voting and Dividend Rights. Grantee,
as beneficial owner of the Restricted Shares, shall have full voting rights with respect to the Shares during and after the Restricted Period. In addition, Grantee shall, during and after the Restricted Period, be entitled to receive any dividends
on the Shares; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Restricted Shares are forfeited for any reason, Grantee shall, within ten (10) days of such forfeiture, repay to the Company an amount equal to the dividends
previously paid on those Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Grantee forfeits any rights to Restricted Shares he may have under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2, Section 4(b) or
otherwise, Grantee shall no longer have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares or any interest therein so forfeited and Grantee shall no longer be entitled to vote or receive dividends on the Restricted Shares so
forfeited. In the event that for any reason Grantee shall have received dividends upon such Restricted Shares after such forfeiture, Grantee shall immediately repay to the Company an amount equal to such dividends. 
  

 4 

 6. Changes in Capital Structure. The provisions of the Plan shall apply in the case of a change in
the capital structure of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Stock, or a combination or consolidation of the
outstanding Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, the Shares then subject to this Agreement shall automatically be adjusted proportionately. 
 7. No Right of Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time, or confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the
employ of the Company. 
 8. Payment of Taxes. Upon issuance of the Shares hereunder, Grantee may make an election to be taxed upon
such award under Section 83(b) of the Code. To effect such election, Grantee may file an appropriate election with Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after award of the Shares and otherwise in accordance with applicable
Treasury Regulations. In all events, Grantee will, no later than the date as of which any amount related to any of the Shares first becomes includable in Grantee’s gross income for federal income tax purposes, notify the Company of that fact
and pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company, regarding payment of, any federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under
this Agreement will be conditional on such notification and payment or arrangements, and the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind hereafter due, owing or payable to
Grantee. 
 9. Amendment. The Company may amend, modify or terminate this Agreement without approval of Grantee; provided, however,
that such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without Grantee’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of this award with respect to any current, future or potential benefit that exists on the date of such amendment or termination.

 10. Plan Controls. The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement and this Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative.

 11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Grantee and Grantee’s heirs,
personal and legal representatives and permitted assigns and to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. 
 12.
Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been included. 
  

 5 

 13. Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for
in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when faxed (with a written confirmation of receipt) or actually delivered, or (ii) three (3) business days after being mailed by United States
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the initial page of this Agreement, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the
General Counsel of the Company, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. Notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
 14. Governing Law. This Agreement sets forth the final and entire agreement with respect to its subject matter and shall be governed and construed
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof. 
 15.
Pronouns. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or the plural shall include the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, the feminine or the neuter gender shall include
the masculine, feminine and neuter.

 (b) For the purposes of paragraph (a) above, Warranty Claims, Specified Matter Claims or Tax Claims arising directly from the same
fact or event (or series of related facts or events) shall be treated as one individual Warranty Claim, Specified Matter Claim or Tax Claim rather than a series of individual Warranty Claims, Specified Matter Claims or Tax Claims. 
 Section 10.6 Thresholds for Warranty Claims and Tax Claims. 
 (i) The Shareholders and Guarantors shall only be liable for a Warranty Claim or a Specified Matter Claim, other than a claim pursuant to
Section 2 of Schedule J hereto, a Title Warranty Claim or a Tax Warranty Claim, once the total amount of all Warranty Claims, Specified Matter Claims and Tax Claims not excluded by Section 10.5 exceeds USD25,000,000 (the “Overall
Threshold”), in which case Purchaser (or any Permitted IP Assignee) shall only be entitled to claim for the excess over USD25,000,000. 
 (ii) The Shareholders and Guarantors shall only be liable for a Tax Warranty Claim or a Tax Claim once the total amount of all Tax Warranty Claims and Tax Claims not otherwise excluded by section 10.5 exceeds

 (iii) For the avoidance of doubt: 
 (1) the Shareholders and Guarantors shall be liable, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and the remaining Purchase Documents, in respect of a Tax Warranty Claim or a Tax Claim as soon as the Tax
Threshold has been reached, irrespective of whether the Overall Threshold has been reached; 
 (2) any amounts counted for the
purposes of reaching the Tax Threshold shall also be counted for the purposes of reaching the Overall Threshold; and 
 (3)
once the Overall Threshold has been reached, the Tax Threshold shall cease to apply and the Shareholders and Guarantors shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the remaining Purchase Documents, then be liable for the full amount of
all Warranty Claims and Tax Claims (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any such amounts as are included in the Overall Threshold). 
 Section 10.7 Limits on Warranties. Each Warranty is only qualified by each fact, matter or circumstance that is fairly disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule by reference to the Warranty in question. 
  

 62 

 Section 10.8 Time limits. The Shareholders and Guarantors shall not be liable for a Warranty
Claim, a Specified Matter Claim or a Tax Claim unless Purchaser (or any Permitted IP Assignee) has given notice of the relevant fact or event giving rise to the Warranty Claim, Specified Matter Claim or Tax Claim: 
 (a) in the case of a Title Warranty Claim: 
 (i) within two years from the date on which either Purchaser (or any Permitted IP Assignee) or the Shareholders, or any of their Subsidiaries or Connected Persons, (together) cease to hold Shares; or 
 (ii) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, 
 whichever is the later, provided however that, the Shareholders shall have no liability in respect of a Title Warranty Claim unless Purchaser (or any Permitted IP Assignee) has given notice of the relevant fact
or event giving rise to that Title Warranty Claim, by the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date; 
 (b) in the case of a Tax
Warranty Claim or a Tax Claim, by 1 July of the fourth year after the calendar year in which the Closing occurs; and 
 (c) in the case of any Operating Business Warranty Claim or any Specified Matter Claim, within 18 months of the Closing Date. 
 Section 10.9 Matters Provided For. Neither the Shareholders nor the Guarantors shall be liable for any Warranty Claim or any Specified Matter Claim to the extent that the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to such claim
is fully and specifically taken into account in any adjustment to the Final Purchase Price. 
 Section 10.10 Contingent liabilities.
If any Warranty Claim or Specified Matter Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only, neither the Shareholders nor any Guarantor shall be liable to pay unless and until such contingent liability gives rise to an obligation to make a
payment (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser has the right to give notice of that claim before such time). 
 Section 10.11 No
Double Recovery. Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement or indemnity under this Agreement in respect of any one liability, loss, cost, shortfall, damage, deficiency, breach or other set of
circumstances which gives rise to a claim or demand hereunder to the extent that it shall already have been fully compensated in respect of such liability, loss, cost, shortfall, damage, deficiency, breach or other set of circumstances under any
other Purchase Document. 
 Section 10.12 Conduct of Claims Brought Directly Against Purchaser. 
 (a) Purchaser shall give prompt written notice to the Ilim Shareholder Representatives of any third-party claim brought directly against
Purchaser (or any other member of the International Paper Group) that may result in Purchaser being entitled to make a Warranty Claim or a Specified Matter Claim, other than a Tax Warranty Claim, together with the estimated 

  

 63 

 
amount of such claim. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the entitlement of Purchaser to make a Warranty Claim or a Specified Matter Claim in the
absence of actual and material prejudice. Following receipt of such notice, the Shareholders may then without undue delay opt either to (i) confirm in writing to Purchaser that the Shareholders will satisfy such third party claim or
(ii) deliver to Purchaser a written notice of disagreement, specifying in reasonable detail, based upon information then available, the nature and extent of the disagreement. Unless Purchaser is of the opinion that in light of the corporate
interests of Purchaser, its Affiliates or the JVCo Group, control of the defense by the Shareholders is inappropriate, the Shareholders shall have the right to assume the defense (at the Shareholders’ expense) of any such claim by notifying
Purchaser in writing within 30 days of the first receipt by the Ilim Shareholder Representatives of such notice from Purchaser that the Shareholders (x) disagree with such claims and intend to dispute such claims and (y) acknowledge that
such claim if determined adversely to Purchaser, its Affiliates or the JVCo Group is an obligation entitling Purchaser to damages or indemnification under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that unless and until the
Shareholders assume control pursuant to this Section 10.12, JVCo shall have the right to assume the defense of any third-party claim, including the right to appoint counsel of its own choosing. In assuming the defense of any such matter, the
Shareholders shall be entitled to appoint counsel of Shareholders’ own choosing; provided, however, that any such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. If, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a
conflict with respect to any significant issue between Purchaser (or any other member of the International Paper Group) and any Shareholder exists in respect of such third-party claim, the Shareholders shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
such additional counsel as may be required to be retained in order to resolve such conflict. The Shareholders shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by Purchaser (or any other member of the International Paper Group) for any
period during which the Shareholders have not assumed the defense of any such third-party claim (other than during any period in which Purchaser will have failed to give notice of the third-party claim as provided above). If the Shareholders assume
such defense, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Shareholders, it being understood that the Shareholders shall control such
defense. If the Shareholders choose to defend or prosecute a third-party claim, Purchaser shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof, which cooperation shall include, to the extent reasonably requested by the Shareholders, the retention,
and the provision to Shareholders, of records and information reasonably relevant to such third-party claim, and making employees of the JVCo Group available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any
materials provided hereunder. If the Shareholders defend or prosecute any third-party claim, Purchaser shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such third-party claim that the Shareholders may recommend and that, by its terms,
discharges Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser and any member of the JVCo Group that is (or is reasonably likely to be) the subject of such third-party claim from the full amount of liability in connection with such third-party claim; provided,
however, that, without the consent of Purchaser, the Shareholders shall not consent to, and Purchaser shall not be required to agree to, the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other
non-monetary relief affecting Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser or any member of the JVCo Group or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a release from all liability with respect to such claim by each claimant
or plaintiff to Purchaser and each Affiliate of Purchaser that is (or is reasonably likely to be) the subject of such third-party claim. 
  

 64 

 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the conduct of any Tax Claim or Tax Warranty Claim shall
be governed by the relevant provisions of the Tax Covenant. 
 Section 10.13 Conduct of Claims Brought Against JVCo. 
 (a) JVCo shall give prompt written notice to the Ilim Shareholder Representatives and to Purchaser of any third-party claim brought
directly against JVCo (or any other member of the JVCo Group) that is reasonably likely to result in Purchaser being entitled to make a Warranty Claim or a Specified Matter Claim, other than a Tax Warranty Claim, together with the estimated amount
of such claim. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the entitlement of Purchaser to make a Warranty Claim or a Specified Matter Claim in the absence of actual and material prejudice. Following receipt of such notice, the Shareholders may
then without undue delay opt either to (i) confirm in writing to JVCo that the Shareholders will satisfy such third party claim or (ii) deliver to JVCo a written notice of disagreement, specifying in reasonable detail, based upon
information then available, the nature and extent of the disagreement. Unless JVCo is of the opinion that, based on the corporate interests of JVCo or its Affiliates, control of the defense by the Shareholders is inappropriate, the Shareholders
shall have the right to assume the defense (at the Shareholders’ expense) of any such claim by notifying JVCo in writing within 30 days of the first receipt by the Ilim Shareholder Representatives of such notice from JVCo that the Shareholders
(x) disagree with such claims and intend to dispute such claims and (y) acknowledge that such claim if determined adversely to JVCo, its Affiliates or the JVCo Group is an obligation entitling Purchaser to damages or indemnification under
this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that unless and until the Shareholders assume control pursuant to this Section 10.13, JVCo shall have the right to assume the defense of any third-party claim, including the right to
appoint counsel of its own choosing. In assuming the defense of any such matter, the Shareholders shall be entitled to appoint counsel of Shareholders’ own choosing; provided, however, that any such counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to JVCo. If, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict with respect to any significant issue between JVCo (or any other member of the JVCo Group) and any Shareholder exists in respect of such third-party claim, the
Shareholders shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel as may be required to be retained in order to resolve such conflict. The Shareholders shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by JVCo (or any
other member of the JVCo Group) for any period during which the Shareholders have not assumed the defense of any such third-party claim (other than during any period in which JVCo will have failed to give notice of the third-party claim as provided
above). If the Shareholders assume such defense, each of JVCo and Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its or their own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Shareholders, it
being understood that the Shareholders shall control such defense. If the Shareholders choose to defend or prosecute a third-party claim, JVCo shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof, which cooperation shall include, to the extent
reasonably requested by the Shareholders, the retention, and the provision to Shareholders, of records and information reasonably relevant to such third-party claim, and making employees of the JVCo Group available on a mutually convenient basis to
provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. If the 

  

 65 

 
Shareholders defend or prosecute any third-party claim, JVCo shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such third-party claim that the
Shareholders may recommend and that, by its terms, discharges JVCo, any Affiliate of JVCo and any member of the JVCo Group that is (or is reasonably likely to be) the subject of such third-party claim from the full amount of liability in connection
with such third-party claim; provided, however, that, without the consent of JVCo, the Shareholders shall not consent to, and JVCo shall not be required to agree to, the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for
injunctive or other non-monetary relief affecting JVCo, any Affiliate of JVCo or any member of the JVCo Group or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a release from all liability with respect to such claim by
each claimant or plaintiff to JVCo and each Affiliate of JVCo that is (or is reasonably likely to be) the subject of such third-party claim. 
 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the conduct of any Tax Claim or Tax Warranty Claim shall be governed by the relevant provisions of the Tax Covenant. 
 Section 10.14 Set-off. Subject to Sections 10.4 and 10.15, the obligations of the Shareholders and Guarantors to Purchaser (or any Permitted IP
Assignee) set forth in each of the Purchase Documents may be satisfied, in whole or in part by: (i) set-off against the Note or any promissory note issued pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, (ii) withholding or deduction from any
dividend otherwise payable to the Shareholders by JVCo pursuant to Clauses 12.5 or 12.6 of the Shareholders Agreement or (iii) deduction from the consideration payable for the Shares pursuant to paragraph 2.2 of Schedule 4 to the Shareholders
Agreement or otherwise as permitted under the Transaction Documents. If exercised pursuant to paragraph (i) above, such right of offset shall be applied to the payment next due under such Note or such promissory note after such right of offset
is asserted, and, to the extent necessary to satisfy such right of offset, to subsequent payments due under such Note or such promissory note in the chronological order in which such payments are scheduled. Where and to the extent that the amount
payable under the relevant Note represents a payment of interest, the right of set-off shall only be exercisable against the amount of interest net of any withholding tax that is required to be deducted by the Purchaser (or Permitted IP Assignee) or
any paying agent. In exercising the right of set-off, the Purchaser (or Permitted IP Assignee) shall be making a payment under the relevant Note or promissory note to the Purchaser but shall be deemed to have received instructions from the
Shareholders to apply such payment, on the Shareholders’ behalf, to discharge up to the amount of the payment (net of any withholding tax) the whole or part of an obligation of the Shareholders or the Guarantors (as the case may be) to make a
payment to the Purchaser (or Permitted IP Assignee) under any of the Purchase Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment under a Note or promissory note against which the right of set-off is asserted shall be treated as cancelled, waived or
written-off. 
 Section 10.15 Sources of Settlement of Operating Business Warranty Claims, Specified Matter Claims, Tax Warranty Claims
and Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser (or any Permitted IP Assignee) shall only be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment in respect of: 
 (a) an Operating Business Warranty Claim or a Specified Matter Claim, by setting off any such amount of damages or payment against the
Note in accordance with Section 10.14 of this Agreement and the terms of the Note. 
  

 66 

 (b) a Title Warranty Claim, Tax Warranty Claim or Tax Claim: 
 (i) firstly, at the election of Purchaser, and in accordance with Section 10.14 of this Agreement and the terms of the relevant Note
or promissory note issued under the Shareholders Agreement, by setting off any such amount of damages or payment against: 
 (1) the Note, but only to the extent that the payment obligation of Purchaser under the Note is not otherwise set-off in full as a result of a claim (or claims) under any of the Purchase Documents; or 
 (2) any promissory note issued pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, but only to the extent that the payment obligation of Purchaser
under such promissory note is not otherwise set-off in full as a result of a claim (or claims) under any of the Purchase Documents; and 
 (ii) secondly, by direct claim against one or more of the Shareholders or, in respect of liability under the Guarantee only, one or more of the Guarantors, or by any other method provided for in the Purchase Documents
or the Shareholders Agreement. 
 Section 10.16 Tax Effect of Payment. All payments (other than payments of interest) made by or on
behalf of Shareholders to Purchaser (or any Permitted IP Assignee), or by or on behalf of the Purchaser or Purchaser Parent (or any Permitted IP Assignee) to Shareholders, by way of set-off under Section 10.14 or otherwise, pursuant to this
Agreement, the Deed of Indemnity, the Guarantee or the Tax Covenant shall be treated (to the extent permitted by applicable law) for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the consideration paid with respect to the Sale Shares. 
 Section 10.17 Effect of Investigation. Subject only to Section 10.7, the right of Purchaser (or any Permitted IP Assignee) to make or sustain
a Claim based on any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of any Shareholder, Guarantor or JVCo contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall not be affected by any information, fact or
circumstance of which Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser, any of their respective representatives or on its or their behalf or otherwise, had knowledge (whether actual, imputed or constructive) or which could have been discovered (whether by
investigation, search or enquiry (including of any Governmental Entity) made by Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser, any of their respective representatives or on its or their behalf or otherwise) at any time, whether before or after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement or the date the Closing occurs, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation (including any claim that any of the Warranties is or was
untrue, inaccurate, misleading or not complete, whether at the date of this Agreement or on their repetition at Closing). For the avoidance of doubt: 
 (a) the waiver of any condition to the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the Transaction, where such condition is based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance
with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect any right Purchaser (or any Permitted IP Assignee) may have to make or sustain a Claim based on such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation; and 
  

 67 

 (b) the liability of the Shareholders and Guarantors pursuant to the Warranties on their
repetition at Closing shall not be limited as a result of any disclosure of additional facts, matters or circumstances after the date of this Agreement or matters of which Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser, any of their respective
representatives or on its or their behalf or otherwise, became aware (or ought reasonably to have become aware) after the date of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.18 Survival of Covenants, Representations and Warranties. Each of the covenants, representations and warranties of the Shareholders and Guarantors in this Agreement or in any schedule, instrument or other document
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in force thereafter subject to all applicable limitations and qualifications. 
 Section 10.19 Waiver. Each Shareholder and Guarantor agrees to waive the benefit of all rights (if any) which they may have against any member of the JVCo Group, or any present or former officer or employee of
any such member, on whom a Shareholder or Guarantor may have relied in agreeing to any terms of this Agreement or any statement set out in the Disclosure Schedule and each Shareholder and Guarantor undertakes not to make any claim in respect of such
reliance. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 11.1 Fees and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, except as specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement and except as follows: 
 (a) The Shareholders as a group and Purchaser shall each bear half of the fee payable in connection with the Russian Anti Monopoly filing
previously made by the parties; 
 (b) The Shareholders as a group and Purchaser shall each bear half of the Transfer Taxes
arising out of, in connection with or attributable to the transfer of the Sale Shares pursuant to this Agreement (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer Taxes arising out of, in connection with or attributable to the Restructuring);
provided that all other Transfer Taxes in connection with the Transaction shall be borne and paid by Shareholders. The Transfer Tax Payor shall prepare and timely file all relevant Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of such Transfer Tax,
pay the Transfer Tax shown on such Tax Return, and notify the other parties in writing of the Transfer Tax shown on such Tax Return and how such Transfer Tax was calculated, and if the Transfer Tax Payor is Purchaser or its Affiliates (including
JVCo Subsidiaries after the Closing Date), the Shareholders shall reimburse the Transfer Tax Payor for the amount of such Transfer Tax in immediately available funds within ten business days of receipt of such notice.

 Section 11.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all
of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. 
 Section 11.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreements and the other Transaction Documents (each a
“Document”) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. It is agreed that no party shall have
any claim or remedy in respect of any statement, representation, warranty or undertaking made by or on behalf of any other party (or any of its Connected Persons) in relation to the Transaction which is not expressly set out in this Agreement or any
other Document; provided, however, that this Section 11.5 shall not exclude any liability for (or remedy in respect of) fraudulent misrepresentation or deceit. Each party agrees to the terms of this Section 11.5 on its own behalf and as
agent for each of its Connected Persons. 
 Section 11.6 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of
the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, the
parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or
provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. 
 Section 11.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. 
 Section 11.8 Enforcement. 
 (a) All and any Disputes shall be referred to and finally
resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the ICC Rules in force at the time of the commencement of the arbitration, which ICC Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause save as amended below. 
  

 70 

 (b) There shall be three arbitrators, and the parties agree that one arbitrator shall be
nominated by each party to the Dispute for confirmation by the ICC Court in accordance with the ICC Rules. The third arbitrator, who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by agreement of the two party-nominated arbitrators
within fourteen days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, appointed by the ICC Court. 
 (c) The seat or place of arbitration shall be London, England. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The award shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered and enforced
in any court having jurisdiction. 
 (d) Where there are more than two parties to the Dispute, whether as claimant or as
respondent, the multiple claimants, jointly, and the multiple respondents, jointly, shall nominate an arbitrator for confirmation by the ICC Court in accordance with the ICC Rules. The third arbitrator, who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal,
shall be nominated by agreement of the two party-nominated arbitrators within fourteen days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, appointed by the ICC Court. In the absence of such a joint
nomination and where all parties are unable to agree to a method for the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, the ICC Court may appoint each member of the arbitral tribunal pursuant to Article 10(2) of the ICC Rules and shall designate one of them
to act as chairman. 
 (e) The parties agree that, in order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related Disputes,
and upon request of any party to an arbitration pursuant to this section 11.8, an arbitral tribunal may within 90 days of appointment consolidate the arbitration with any other arbitration or proposed arbitration involving any of the parties and
relating to this Deed and/or any other agreement between the parties or any of them. The arbitrations may be consolidated, or heard concurrently, in such manner as the arbitral tribunal determines in its discretion, save that the arbitral tribunal
shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that: (a) there are issues of fact or law common to the arbitrations in question so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings; and (b) no
party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on the question of consolidation by differently constituted arbitral tribunals, the ruling of the arbitral tribunal first
formed shall be determinative. Unless the parties to the proceedings sought to be consolidated agree otherwise, the arbitral tribunal first formed shall determine the Disputes arising in the consolidated proceedings. 
 (f) By agreeing to arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.8, the parties do not intend to deprive any court or other governmental
body or regulatory agency of its jurisdiction to issue an interim injunction or other interim relief or assistance in aid of the arbitration proceedings or for the enforcement of any arbitral award, provided that the parties agree that they may seek
only such relief as is consistent with their agreement to resolve Disputes by way of arbitration. 
 (g) Without prejudice to
such provisional remedies that may be granted by a national court in aid of arbitration, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant interim or conservatory measures, to order a party to seek modification or vacation of interim or
conservatory measures issued by a national court, and to award damages or give other appropriate relief for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. 
  

 71 

 Section 11.9 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing Date, the parties may
(a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained in this Agreement or in any document
delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance by the other parties with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if
set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights. 
 Section 11.10 Election of Remedies. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise a right, including any right of set-off, or the giving or
failure to give notice of a Claim under this Agreement will constitute an election of remedies or limit any party in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it, whether at law or in equity. 
 Section 11.11 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties
hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written content of the other parties, except that Purchaser may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly
owned Subsidiary of Purchaser Parent (each a “Permitted IP Assignee”) provided that the liability of the Shareholders, the Guarantors and JVCo under this Agreement shall not be increased thereby (other than in respect of any
withholding tax levied on payments of interest), and if such assignee shall not be a wholly owned Subsidiary at any time after such assignment, the Purchaser shall procure such rights and interests hereunder shall be assigned back by such assignee
to the Purchaser or another a Permitted IP Assignee. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. 
 Section 11.12 Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Save as expressly provided in Section 11.5 in respect of Connected Persons, this
Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and thereto and a Person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise
to enforce any term of this Agreement. 
 Section 11.13 Language. This Agreement has been executed in English and Russian. The
governing language of this Agreement is English and all notices, demands, requests, statements, certificates or other documents or communications shall be in English unless otherwise agreed. In the event of any discrepancies between the English and
the Russian versions of this Agreement or any dispute regarding the interpretation of any provision in the English or Russian versions of this Agreement, the English version of this Agreement shall prevail and questions of interpretation shall be
addressed solely in the English language. 
 Section 11.14 Ilim Shareholder Representatives. 
 (a) The Ilim Shareholder Representatives, one acting alone or two acting jointly and not individually, shall serve as the agents of each
of the Shareholders and Guarantors 

  

 72

no independent right to pursue any such claim); 
 (v) review and accept all calculations regarding payments and negotiate any
modifications thereto (and each Shareholder and Guarantor shall have no independent right to pursue any claim regarding any payments, calculations, modifications, settlements or compromises in respect thereof except in the event of a failure to be
paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement); and 
 (vi) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other
agreements, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all actions that the Ilim Shareholder Representatives, in their sole
discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other agreements, documents or instruments referred to herein or therein or executed in connection
herewith or therewith. Any proceeds or other assets received by the Ilim Shareholder Representatives on behalf of the Shareholders and the Guarantors from Purchaser shall be distributed to Shareholders and the Guarantors as promptly as practicable
by the Ilim Shareholder Representatives, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this deed. The death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation, insolvency or bankruptcy of any Shareholder and the Guarantors shall not terminate such appointment
or the authority and agency of the Ilim Shareholder Representatives. The power-of-attorney granted in this Section 11.14 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. No bond shall be required of the Ilim Shareholder Representatives, and the
Ilim Shareholder Representatives shall not receive compensation for their services in their capacity as Ilim Shareholder Representatives. Notices or communications to or from the Ilim Shareholder Representatives shall constitute notice to or from
each of the Shareholders and the Guarantors during the term of the agency. 
 (b) The Ilim Shareholder Representatives shall
be entitled to rely upon any document or instrument reasonably believed by them to be genuine, accurate as to content and signed by any Shareholder or Guarantor. The Ilim Shareholder Representatives may assume that any person purporting to give any
notice in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. 
  

 73 

 (c) The Ilim Shareholder Representatives shall be entitled to retain and rely upon the
advice of counsel or other professionals acceptable to them and to incur such expenses as the Ilim Shareholder Representatives deem to be necessary or appropriate in connection with their performance of their obligations under this Agreement and,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Ilim Shareholder Representatives in connection with this Agreement shall be jointly and severally borne by
each Shareholder and Guarantor, but in no event by Purchaser. The Ilim Shareholder Representatives shall pursue such fees and expenses against the Shareholders and Guarantors directly. Purchaser shall not have any liability or obligation to any
Shareholder or Guarantor for any losses incurred by the Ilim Shareholder Representatives in their capacity as such, for the allocation of such losses or for any other arrangements between the Ilim Shareholder Representatives. 
 (d) Messrs. Zakhar Smushkin and Boris Zingarevich shall serve as the Ilim Shareholder Representatives until their resignation and
replacement by another Guarantor who has first agreed to act as Ilim Shareholder Representative upon the terms of this Agreement. At no time shall more than two persons be appointed or authorized to act as Ilim Shareholder Representatives.

 (e) The decision, act, consent, instruction or omission of the Ilim Shareholder Representatives shall constitute a
decision, act, consent, instruction or omission of all of the Shareholders and Guarantors and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person, and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.14 and notwithstanding any contrary
action or direction from any Shareholder or Guarantor, no such Person shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser may reasonably rely upon any
such decision, act, consent, instruction or omission of the Ilim Shareholder Representatives as being the decision, act, consent, instruction or omission of every Shareholder, all of which shall be binding on the Shareholders and Guarantors.

 ARTICLE XII
