 Exhibit 10.4 
 LOG SUPPLY AGREEMENT 
 This LOG SUPPLY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into
by and between Potlatch RetainCo, LLC (“Supplier”), a Delaware limited liability company, and Clearwater Paper Corporation (“Buyer”), a Delaware corporation, as of
                        , 2008 (the “Effective Date”). (Buyer and Supplier are sometimes hereinafter in this
Agreement referred to collectively as the “parties”, or individually as a “party”). 
 RECITALS

 A. Seller harvests logs from properties it owns or has under contract in Idaho. 
 B. Buyer operates a sawmill in Lewiston, Idaho (the “Lewiston Sawmill”). 
 C. Buyer desires to purchase logs from Seller for use at the Lewiston Sawmill, and Seller desires to supply logs to Buyer in accordance with terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement 
 AGREEMENT 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the terms and conditions set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Supplier agree as
follows: 
 1. TERM. This Agreement shall have a term of three (3) years commencing on the Effective Date, and terminating automatically at
11:59:59 p.m. (Pacific Time), on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, or extended in accordance with the express terms of this Section 1. The
Term of this Agreement may be extended for one three (3) year extension term commencing immediately upon expiration of the Initial Term upon written notice which includes a proposal as to Quantity as set forth in Section 2.1 (the
“Extension Notice”) by either party (the “Extending Party”) to the other party (the “Counterparty”) at least six (6) months prior to the termination date of the Initial Term; provided, however,
that the Counterparty may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decline to extend the Term of this Agreement by providing written notice to the Extending Party within ninety (90) days after the Counterparty receives the Extension Notice, in
which event the Term shall automatically expire at the end of the Initial Term, or provide a counter proposal as to Quantity as set forth in Section 2.1. The Initial Term and the extension term are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the
“Term.” The one year periods commencing on the Effective Date and each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date are each referred to as a “Contract Year.” 
 2. QUANTITY. 
 2.1 Generally. Supplier agrees to sell to Buyer and Buyer agrees to purchase and
accept from Supplier the following quantity of logs (the “Quantity”): 

			
	 Contract Year 1:
	  	Eighty-five million board feet (85,000 MBF), net scale
	 Contract Year 2:
	  	Eighty-five million board feet (85,000 MBF), net scale
	 Contract Year 3:
	  	Eighty million board feet (80,000 MBF), net scale

 All logs supplied hereunder shall meet the specifications set forth in Section 3 of this
Agreement. The Extending Party shall include in the Extension Notice its proposed Quantity for each year of the extension term. The Counterparty may, in its sole and absolute discretion, provide a counter proposal as to each such Quantity, without
waiving its right to decline the extension term as provided in Section 1. If the parties are not able to mutually agree upon the Quantities for the extension term within one hundred twenty-days (120) days of the Counterparty’s receipt
of the Extension Notice, the Term shall automatically expire at the end of the Initial Term. 
 2.2 Source. The logs shall be obtained
from timberlands owned by Supplier or its affiliates north of the Salmon River within the State of Idaho (the “Base Lands”), other lands from time to time owned by affiliates of Supplier, and from stumpage contracts held by Supplier
from time to time for the harvest of timber from lands owned by unaffiliated third parties. 
 2.3 Quantity Adjustment. 
 (a) In the event of an extraordinary event such as fire damage, insect infestation or similar event, in which Supplier believes it appropriate to increase
its harvest of timber to avoid loss or degradation of timber, Supplier may increase the Quantity of logs to be delivered in a Contract Year by up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Quantity specified in Section 2.1 (the “Excess
Quantity”). If Supplier, pursuant to this Section 2.3, delivers an Excess Quantity of logs in a Contract Year, Supplier may (but shall not be required to) reduce the Quantity of logs to be delivered in a subsequent Contract Year by the
amount of the Excess Quantity. 
 (b) At least six (6) months prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, the parties shall
meet to negotiate in good faith an upward adjustment in the Quantity of logs to be supplied in Contract Year 3. 
 3. SPECIFICATIONS. 
 3.1 Species. The logs supplied hereunder shall consist of a mix of red fir (Douglas fir), white fir and cedar and other conifers, but shall not
include hardwoods. 
 3.2 Grade. All logs supplied hereunder shall meet the Scaling Rules (as hereafter defined) for sawlogs.

 3.3 Mix of Lengths, Species, Diameters and Grades. The mix of log species, lengths, diameters and grades of the logs supplied
hereunder shall be generally representative of the log species, lengths and diameters historically supplied by Supplier to the Lewiston Sawmill. 
  

 2 

 4. PRICE. 
 4.1 Price of Logs. Prices for logs commencing on the Effective Date shall be as set forth on the attached Exhibit A. Effective each January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, commencing April 1,
2009 (each a “Adjustment Date”), the price of logs shall be adjusted to reflect the fair market value of logs in the Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington markets, considering any market premium for Forest Stewardship Council
(“FSC”) certified logs for that portion of the logs Buyer reasonably forecasts (based on sales results of prior quarters and sales trends) will be used to produce FSC products for the quarter (the “FSC Quantity”).
Buyer shall provide Supplier written notice setting forth the FSC Quantity at least twenty (20) days prior to the Adjustment Date, whereupon the parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to determine and agree upon the adjusted log
price. If an Adjustment Notice is timely given, and the parties are unable to agree upon the price of any species, grade or diameter of log (the “Unpriced Logs”) as of such Adjustment Date on or before the tenth business day after
such Adjustment Date, the price of Unpriced Logs shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 4.2. 
 If the parties do
not agree on a price for Unpriced Logs by the date the first payment for logs delivered after the Adjustment Date is due, Buyer shall initially pay for such Unpriced Logs at the last established price for such Unpriced Logs. After the price for
Unpriced Logs previously delivered is determined by arbitration or by agreement, (i) the price of such Unpriced Logs shall be retroactively adjusted back to the relevant Adjustment Date and (ii) within five (5) days after such
determination, an adjustment payment shall be made by Buyer to Supplier, or Supplier to Buyer, as the case may be, to adjust the price for such Logs to the price as determined by the arbitrator or the agreement of the parties. 
 4.2 Arbitration. If the parties are unable to agree upon the price for Unpriced Logs on any Adjustment Date, the dispute shall be resolved through
“baseball arbitration” as follows: 
 (a) Upon the written notice of either party after reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute
(the “Arbitration Notice”), the parties shall jointly name an arbitrator to resolve the dispute. The arbitrator shall be a seasoned products professional familiar with pricing of conifer logs in Northern Idaho/Eastern Washington
markets who has not performed any work as an employee or consultant for either party during the previous five (5) years. If the parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator within ten (10) days after receipt of the Arbitration
Notice, then within five (5) days thereafter, each party shall select its own arbitrator with such qualification, and the two selected arbitrators shall jointly select the arbitrator with such qualification who will resolve the dispute. If any
party fails to timely select an arbitrator, then the arbitrator selected by the other party shall resolve the dispute. If the two arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or unwilling to select an arbitrator to resolve the dispute within ten
(10) days, then either party may petition the District Court in Lewiston, Idaho to select the arbitrator. 
  

 3 

 (b) Once an arbitrator has been selected, each of the parties shall provide the arbitrator with
(i) such documents, evidence and other information as may be desirable to inform the arbitrator of the background and relevant facts of the dispute, and (ii) a proposed final decision on the matters in dispute (the “Proposed
Decision”). Upon evaluating all of the documents, evidence and other information provided by the parties, the arbitrator shall render a decision on the dispute by accepting in whole that party’s Proposed Decision which most accurately
reflects the fair market value of the Unpriced Logs, considering any premium for FSC certified logs. Provided that the arbitrator has made a decision solely by selecting the Proposed Decision of one of the parties, the arbitrator’s
determination shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. 
 (c) The fees of the arbitrator(s) shall be paid by the party whose Proposed
Decision is not selected by the arbitrator. The prevailing party in such arbitration shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees and costs in connection with the arbitration from the other party. 
 5. DELIVERY; ALTERNATE DELIVERY LOCATIONS. Unless otherwise directed by Buyer in accordance with this Section 5, Buyer shall take delivery of the logs at the
Lewiston Sawmill and thereupon title and risk of loss shall pass to Buyer. Buyer may by written notice direct Supplier to deliver some or all of the logs covered by this Agreement to other locations, provided that in such event log prices hereunder
shall be adjusted, for any greater or lesser haul distance to such other locations, as necessary so that Supplier will receive the same financial return on such logs as Supplier would have received had such logs been delivered to the Lewiston
Sawmill. All logs shall be delivered FOB the Lewiston Sawmill or such other sawmill as Buyer may direct in accordance with this Section. 
 6. DELIVERY
PROJECTIONS. On or before April 1 of each calendar year of the Term, beginning with the May 1 immediately following the Effective Date, Supplier shall prepare in good faith and provide Buyer with its projected log delivery schedule
(including estimated species mix, diameter class and volume) (each, a “Delivery Projection”) for the upcoming logging season (meaning the May 1 through April 30 period). If, during the logging season, Supplier’s
harvest plans materially change, Supplier will provide Buyer with an updated Delivery Projection. Supplier will use reasonable efforts to meet the delivery schedule in the Delivery Projection (as it may be amended) 
 7. PAYMENT AND SCALING. Logs sold under this Agreement will be scaled at the Lewiston Sawmill or at another mutually agreeable scaling location. Quantity shall be
determined according to Measurement Rules for Forest Products of the Idaho Board of Scaling Practices, IDAPA 20.06.03 (the “Scaling Rules”). Scaling shall be by scalers licensed by the State of Idaho. Sample scaling shall be an
acceptable method of volume determination. Sample frequency shall be reviewed and mutually agreed to between Buyer and Supplier. Buyer will be required at all times during a pay period to leave no less than three (3) delivered scale loads for
such a pay period, spread to allow Supplier the option of check scaling. Should the check scale differ from Buyer’s scale by more than three percent (3%), the parties agree to have an independent scaler, agreeable to both parties, scale or
check scale, as applicable, the disputed loads, and his decision will be binding on the parties. 

  

 4 

 
Buyer shall pay Supplier by the 25th day of each month for deliveries during the first 15 days of such month, and by the 10th day of the next month for
deliveries made after the 15th day of the month. Payment shall be accompanied by individual load tickets and a summary of the scale in a form reasonably acceptable to Supplier. Payments not made when due shall accrue interest at the rate of
18% per annum (but in no event higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law). If any such payments in this section are not timely made, Supplier may suspend performance under this Agreement until such payments are made. 

8. WARRANTY. Supplier warrants that it will have at the time of delivery merchantable title to logs sold hereunder free and clear of liens and encumbrances.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL LOGS DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE WITHOUT WARRANTY, OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY STATUTORY WARRANTY. 
 9. EXPORT PROHIBITION. To maintain Supplier’s eligibility to purchase government timber under the
Forest Resources Conservation and Shortage Relief Act of 1990 (16 U.S.C. §620) and federal and state regulations adopted under it and laws relating to the purchase of State of Idaho timber (including IDAPA 20.02.11) (collectively, the
“Export Laws”), Buyer agrees that all logs sold hereunder will be processed in the State of Idaho into end products suitable for use. Buyer shall keep such records as are necessary to evidence compliance with these restrictions
under the terms of the Export Laws and not take any other action which would impair Supplier’s eligibility to purchase government timber. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Supplier harmless for and from any claims, damages, costs, losses or
liabilities arising from Buyer’s violation of this Section 9 (including any damages suffered by Supplier arising out of being prohibited from buying government timber). 
 The provisions of this Section 9 are for Supplier’s benefit only and may be waived by Supplier at any time in Supplier’s sole discretion.

 10. FORCE MAJEURE. 
 10.1 In the
event that Buyer or Supplier shall be prevented from performing its respective obligations hereunder by reason of fire, flood, riots, civil commotion, war, labor strikes or work stoppages, embargoes, weather conditions or restrictions under
environmental laws, epidemics or acts of sabotage or any other such cause or causes (whether or not of a similar nature) beyond the reasonable control of such party (each of the foregoing a “Force Majeure Event”), such party shall
not be held in breach hereof, but shall be excused for such nonperformance to the extent and during such time that such Force Majeure Event exists. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the duration and consequences of any
failure or delay in delivery or acceptance of delivery resulting from a Force Majeure Event and shall give notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event as soon as commercially practicable after the occurrence thereof, which notice shall include
the expected date when the party affected by such Force Majeure Event will no longer be affected thereby. (The period from the notice and the expected expiration date of the Force 

  

 5 

 
Majeure Event is referred to herein as the “Force Majeure Period”.) In the case of Supplier, a Force Majeure Event includes any such event
that renders it impractical to harvest the annual Quantity from the Base Lands or stumpage contracts held by Supplier with respect to lands in the State of Idaho of unrelated third parties. 
 10.2 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, as a result of a Force Majeure Event pursuant to which Supplier’s performance is
excused hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to obtain logs from sources other than Supplier to replace the logs that would have otherwise been delivered by Supplier (“Substitute Logs”) until such time as Supplier is again able to
commence delivery of logs to Buyer; provided that the volume of logs Buyer contracts for shall be no more than the volume of logs that reasonably would have been delivered by Supplier in the absence of such Force Majeure Event (based upon the
expected duration of the Force Majeure Period), and in any event no such agreement for Substitute Logs shall be for a term longer than two (2) months or the Force Majeure Period, whichever is longer, without the prior consent of Supplier, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. After Supplier gives notice to Buyer that it is able to resume delivery of logs to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall notify Supplier of any remaining commitments for the
purchase of Substitute Logs that Buyer has entered into. Buyer shall not be required to accept delivery of logs from Supplier until such time as Buyer has accepted delivery of the Substitute Logs contracted by Buyer. Buyer’s obligations to
accept logs hereunder (and Supplier’s obligation to deliver such logs) during the calendar year in which the Force Majeure Event exists shall be reduced, at Buyer’s election, by the quantity of all logs not delivered by Supplier due to the
Force Majeure Event. 
 10.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, as a result of a Force Majeure Event pursuant to
which Buyer cannot accept the annual Quantity of logs, Supplier shall have the right to sell to third parties, or use for itself, logs that Buyer is unable to accept; provided that Supplier shall not enter into agreements to sell logs to third
parties for a term longer than two (2) months or the Force Majeure Period, whichever is longer, without the prior written consent of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon notice from Buyer to Supplier that Buyer
is again able to accept delivery of such logs, Supplier will notify Buyer of any commitments for the sale of logs to third parties that Supplier has entered into that preclude or severely hinder Supplier’s ability to deliver logs to Buyer and
Supplier shall not be required to resume providing logs to Buyer until Supplier has delivered all logs covered by such commitments. Supplier’s obligation to deliver logs hereunder (and Buyer’s obligation to accept such logs) during the
calendar year in which the Force Majeure Event exists shall be reduced, at Supplier’s election, by the quantity of all such logs not accepted by Buyer due to the Force Majeure Event. 
 10.4 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a “Force Majeure Event” shall not include (i) adverse financial or market
conditions, (ii) a party’s financial inability to perform, or (iii) an act, omission or circumstance arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming that a Force Majeure Event has occurred. 
 10.5 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if by virtue of this Section 10, either party is excused from performance of any
material obligation for a 

  

 6 

 
continuous period greater than four (4) months, then the other party may (provided its material obligations are not also suspended by such Force Majeure
Event) terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. 
 11. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. 
 11.1 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be issued or given under this Agreement shall be made by one of the following methods:

receipt of an assumption agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Supplier, executed by the acquirer of the Lewiston Sawmill. 
 (2)
Supplier may assign this Agreement to a third party that acquires in a single transaction the majority of the Base Lands. Supplier will be released from any liability under this Agreement arising after such assignment upon Buyer’s receipt of an
assumption agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, executed by the acquirer of the majority of the Base Lands. 
 (3) Either
party may assign all or any portion of its rights and interests hereunder, or delegate any or all of its obligations hereunder to one or more of its affiliates. 
 Except as provided in Sections 11.2(1) or (2), no assignment shall relieve the assigning party from its liability under this Agreement. 
 11.3 Default. Subject to Section 10, if either party should fail or neglect to perform or observe any of the covenants or obligations
contained herein, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days or more after written notice of such failure or neglect shall be given by the other party, or if a bankruptcy or receivership proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, should be
commenced against a party, or if assignment of a party’s property shall be made for the benefit of creditors, then in any of such events the other party may, by written notice, terminate this Agreement. Such termination shall not relieve the
defaulting party from liability for damages (subject to the limitations below). NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 9, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST
PROFITS OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. Except as provided in the previous sentence, it is agreed that the remedies given herein are not exclusive and are without prejudice to any other remedy available, and that in addition thereto Parties hereto shall
have all other remedies expressly set forth in this Agreement or that are available at law or in equity. 
 11.4 Integration. This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations, proposed agreements and agreements, written or oral, relating thereto except
as expressly set forth herein. There are no promises, statements, covenants, representations, or warranties, expressed or implied, oral or written, about the subject matter of this Agreement that are not contained herein.

 11.5 Choice of Law. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho without reference to its rules governing conflict of laws. 
 11.6 Attorney Fees. If a
party to this Agreement files an action in any court or other forum (including in or in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding) to enforce compliance with any term of this Agreement or to allege a breach thereof against the other party, the
prevailing party in that action shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and any necessary disbursements incurred therein, including, without limitation, expert witness fees, deposition costs, court clerk fees, service

 11.8
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid
or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. 
 11.9
Amendments; Modifications; Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any term or provision thereof may be waived, modified, or amended, except by a written agreement signed by the party against whom the waiver, modification, or amendment is sought, and
even then, only to the extent set forth in such written instrument. The failure of either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to
affect the validity of this Agreement nor any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of or non-compliance with this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other
subsequent breach or non-compliance. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing by the party against which the waiver is to be effective. 
 11.10 Construction. The parties to this Agreement have participated fully in its negotiation and preparation, with benefit of legal counsel, and

 Exhibit AForm of Lewiston Shavings Sales Agreement

 Exhibit 10.5 
 LEWISTON SHAVINGS SALES AGREEMENT 
 THIS LEWISTON SHAVINGS SALES AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Potlatch RetainCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”) and Clearwater Paper Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”) as of
                    , 2008 (the “Effective Date”). (Buyer and Seller are sometimes hereinafter in this Agreement referred to
collectively as the “parties”, or individually as a “party”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. Seller produces wood shavings (“Shavings”) at its Lewiston, Idaho lumber mill (the “Lewiston Mill”). 
 B. Buyer operates a particle board facility in Post Falls, Idaho (the “Buyer’s Mill”). 
 C. Buyer desires to purchase Shavings from Seller, and Seller desires to supply Shavings to Buyer in accordance with terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement. 
 AGREEMENT 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the terms and conditions set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 SPECIFICATIONS; AS IS

 1.1 Specifications. The Shavings shall be produced by Seller at the Lewiston Mill and shall meet the specifications set forth on
attached Exhibit A (the “Specifications”). 
 1.2 Generally. Seller warrants that it will have at the time of
delivery merchantable title to Shavings sold hereunder free and clear of liens and encumbrances. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL SHAVINGS DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY STATUTORY WARRANTY. 
 ARTICLE II 
 QUANTITIES 
 During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, 100% of the output of Shavings produced at the Lewiston Mill. The parties understand that this Agreement is an
output contract only, and does not obligate Seller to produce any specific amount of Shavings. Seller may suspend or curtail its production of Shavings without liability in connection with mill outages, changes in operations, shift reduction,
downtime, mill closures, changes in market prices or costs, and other similar events within or outside of Seller’s control. 

 ARTICLE III 
 DELIVERY, LOADING AND MEASUREMENT 
 3.1 Transportation and Measurement. Shavings will be delivered FOB
Buyer’s truck at the Lewiston Mill. Buyer shall be responsible for making arrangements for transporting Shavings from the Lewiston Mill and paying the cost of transportation. Seller will maintain appropriate facilities for loading trucks at the
Lewiston Mill in substantially their present condition to allow truck drivers to load trucks in accordance with standard industry practice. Buyer shall schedule sufficient trucks to take delivery of Shavings on a regular basis, and in any event
remove Shavings before the volume in storage at the Lewiston Mill exceeds customarily available storage capacity. 
 Seller shall issue a
load ticket to Buyer’s hauler for each shipment of Shavings which shall include the date, time, gross and tare weights, species, tractor and trailer license numbers, and driver’s name. Trucks shall be weighed on state certified scales
which are maintained in good order and accuracy. Buyer shall determine the percentage of moisture content of Shavings in each load by customary laboratory procedures based upon representative samples. The percentage so determined shall be multiplied
by the weight, in pounds, of the load and the product shall be deducted from the total pounds in the load. The remainder shall be divided by 2,000 and the quotient shall constitute the number of bone dry tons or “BDTs” (2,000 pounds
of moisture-free fiber) in the load. Copies of the scale tickets and moisture test results shall be sent to Seller. Seller may make test measurements of load weight and moisture content from time to time, at Seller’s expense. If such
measurements show that payments need adjustment, up or down, the correction shall be applied to the load measured and the five (5) truckloads of Shavings received by Buyer immediately prior to the load measured. Buyer shall make any
compensation adjustments within five (5) days after such adjustment is mutually agreed to. 
 3.2 Inspection. Buyer shall inspect and
sample each load of Shavings after arrival at the receiving facility and shall promptly notify Seller of any failure of the Shavings to conform to the Specifications. If Buyer fails to give such notice with respect to any load within twenty-four
(24) hours after arrival at the receiving facility, such load of Shavings will be deemed to conform to the Specifications and Buyer will be deemed to have accepted and shall be obligated to pay for such load. 
 Whenever Buyer determines as a result of its reasonable inspection that any load of Shavings delivered fails to conform to the Specifications, Buyer
shall immediately notify Seller. If Buyer reasonably rejects any such quantity as failing to meet the specifications, Buyer may dispose of the rejected Shavings, in any manner it deems appropriate without any payment therefor to Seller. Freight
charges on any rejected Shavings, and any costs incurred by Buyer in disposing of the rejected load shall be Seller’s responsibility, and shall be promptly paid upon billing by Buyer. Title and risk of loss or damage of Shavings shall pass to
Buyer when the Shavings are loaded on the truck at the Lewiston Mill for delivery to Buyer. 
  

 2 

 3.3 Records. Buyer shall keep accurate records of deliveries of Shavings, including weight by truck and the
results of moisture tests. Such records shall be retained for at least two years after delivery of Shavings, and shall be available for inspection by Seller at reasonable times after reasonable notice. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 PRICE AND PAYMENT 

 4.1 Prices of Shavings. Prices of Shavings commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Price Date”) shall be
$        /BDT. 
 On February 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2010, the price for
Shavings shall be adjusted to reflect the fair market value of wood shavings in Central Idaho considering any market premium for Forest Stewardship Council (“FSC”) certified residuals (the “Shavings Price Reset
Date”). The parties shall endeavor to agree on such fair market values no later than ten (10) days prior to the Shavings Price Reset Date. Either party may request that the price for the Shavings shall be determined by arbitration in
accordance with Section 4.2. 
 If the parties do not agree on price for Shavings by the date the first payment for such Shavings
delivered after the Shavings Price Reset Date is due, Buyer shall initially pay for such Shavings at the last established price for such Shavings. After the price for Shavings previously delivered is determined by arbitration or by agreement,
(i) the price of such Shavings shall be retroactively adjusted back to the relevant Shavings Price Reset Date and (ii) within five (5) days after such determination, an adjustment payment shall be made by Buyer to Seller, or Seller to
Buyer, as the case may be, to adjust the price for such Shavings to the price as determined by the arbitrator or the agreement of the parties. 
 On each May 1, August 1 and November 1 (the “Shavings Adjustment Dates”), the price for Shavings established at the Initial Price Date or most recent Shavings Price Reset Date shall be adjusted by the
percentage change in the Applicable Index published immediately prior to the Shavings Adjustment Date from the Applicable Index published immediately prior to the Initial Price Date, if during the first year of the Initial Term, or, thereafter, the
most recent Shavings Price Reset Date. For example, if the price of Shavings was established at $75/BDT as of February 1, 2010, Shavings Price Reset Date and the Applicable Index for Shavings published immediately prior to July 1, 2010 was
$80/BDT and the Applicable Index published immediately prior to February 1, 2010 was $70/BDT, then the price effective July 1, 2010 would be $85.725/BDT ($80/$70 = 1.143 x $75/BDT = $85.725/BDT). 
 Seller will provide Buyer notice of any price change at least seven (7) days prior to each Shavings Adjustment Date. 
 The Applicable Index for Shavings is that published by Wood Resources International, Ltd. in the “North American Wood Fiber Review” for Sawmill Residue
Prices—Western U.S., Inland Empire, Shavings (avg). 
 If the Applicable Index is materially changed or discontinued by the publisher, the parties will
meet to select a new index that will accurately reflect the change in the prices of the Shavings. If a replacement index cannot be agreed upon, the selection of a replacement index will be determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 4.2.

 4.2 Arbitration. If the parties are unable to agree upon the price for Shavings on any Shavings Price Reset
Date, or the selection of a replacement index following a material change or discontinuance of an Applicable Index, the dispute shall be resolved through “baseball arbitration” as follows: 
 4.2.1. Upon the written notice of either party after reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute (the “Arbitration Notice”), the
parties shall jointly name an arbitrator to resolve the dispute. The arbitrator shall be a seasoned wood by-products professional familiar with pricing of Shavings in the Pacific Northwest who has not performed any work as an employee or consultant
for either party during the previous five (5) years. If the parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator within ten (10) days after receipt of the Arbitration Notice, then within five (5) days thereafter, each party shall select
its own arbitrator with such qualifications, and the two selected arbitrators shall jointly select the arbitrator with such qualifications who will resolve the dispute. If any party fails to timely select an arbitrator, then the arbitrator selected
by the other party shall resolve the dispute. If the two arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or unwilling to select an arbitrator to resolve the dispute within ten (10) days, then either party may petition the District Court in
Lewiston, Idaho to select the arbitrator. 
 4.2.2. Once an arbitrator has been selected, each of the parties shall provide the
arbitrator with (i) such documents, evidence and other information as may be desirable to inform the arbitrator of the background and relevant facts of the dispute, and (ii) a proposed final decision on the matters in dispute (the
“Proposed Decision”). Upon evaluating all of the documents, evidence and other information provided by the parties, the arbitrator shall render a decision on the dispute by accepting in whole one party’s Proposed Decision. If
the dispute is a pricing dispute, the arbitrator shall accept the Proposed Decision that most closely reflects the then fair market value of Shavings, considering any premium for FSC certified Shavings. If the dispute relates to the selection of a
replacement index, the arbitrator shall accept the Proposed Decision which most accurately reflects changes in the market for Shavings. Provided that the arbitrator has made a decision solely by selecting the Proposed Decision of one of the parties,
the arbitrator’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. 
 4.2.3. The fees of the arbitrator(s) shall be
paid by the party whose Proposed Decision is not selected by the arbitrator. The prevailing party in such arbitration shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees and costs in connection with the arbitration from the other party.

 4.3 Payment. Payment for Shavings delivered between the 1st and 15th day of the month shall be made by the 25th day of the month. Payment for Shavings delivered between the 16th and the end of the month shall be made by the 10th day of the following month. Payments not made when due shall accrue interest at the
rate of 18% per annum (but in no event higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law). Each payment shall be accompanied by a detailed statement setting forth the calculation of the payment. If any Shavings are lost or destroyed
after title has passed but before Buyer has determined the BDT content of such Shavings, payment for the same shall be made on the 15th day of the
month following such loss or destruction based upon the Buyer’s reasonable estimate of the amount lost or destroyed and the average moisture content of deliveries during the 48 hour period prior to such loss or destruction.

 ARTICLE V 
 TERM 
 This Agreement shall have a term of five (5) years commencing on the Effective Date, and
terminating automatically at 11:59:59 p.m. (Pacific Time), on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, or extended in accordance with the express terms
of this Section 5. The Term of this Agreement may be extended for one five (5) year extension term commencing immediately upon expiration of the Initial Term upon written notice (the “Extension Notice”) by either party
(the “Extending Party”) to the other party (the “Counterparty”) at least six (6) months prior to the termination date of the current Term; provided, however, that the Counterparty may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, decline to extend the Term of this Agreement by providing written notice to the Extending Party within ninety (90) days after the Counterparty receives the Extension Notice, in which event the Term shall automatically
expire at the end of the Initial Term. The Initial Term and the extension term are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “Term.” 
 In the event Buyer ceases operations at the Buyer’s Mill, then this Agreement shall
terminate. For the purposes of the prior sentence, ceasing operations at Buyer’s Mill does not include by reason of fire, flood, riots, civil commotion, war, labor strikes or work stoppages, embargoes, weather conditions or restrictions under
environmental laws, epidemics or acts of sabotage or any other such cause or causes (whether or not of a similar nature) beyond the reasonable control of Buyer (each of the foregoing a “Force Majeure Event”), provided such cessation
does not continue beyond ninety (90) days. If the cessation of operations because of a Force Majeure Event does continue beyond such period, this Agreement will be deemed to have terminated as of the 90th day after such event.

 This Agreement may not be assigned in
whole or in part without the prior written consent of the nonassigning party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing: 
 (a) In the event of a sale or transfer of substantially all of the assets comprising the Lewiston Mill, Seller shall assign this Agreement to the acquirer. Seller will be released from any liability under this
Agreement arising after such assignment upon Buyer’s receipt of an assumption agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, executed by the acquirer of the Lewiston Mill. 
 (b) In the event of a sale or transfer of substantially all of the assets comprising the Buyer’s Mill, Buyer shall assign this Agreement to the

 6 

 Except as provided in Section 6.2(a) and (b), no assignment shall relieve the assigning party from
its liability under this Agreement. 
 6.3 Default. If either party should fail or neglect to perform or observe any of its covenants or
obligations contained herein, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days or more after written notice of such failure or neglect shall be given by the other party, or if a bankruptcy or receivership proceeding, voluntary or
involuntary, should be commenced against a party, or if assignment of a party’s property shall be made for the benefit of creditors, then in any of such events the other party may, by written notice, terminate this Agreement. Such termination
shall not relieve the defaulting party from liability for damages (subject to the limitations below). NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES. Except as provided in the previous sentence, it is agreed that the remedies given herein are not exclusive and are without prejudice to any other remedy available, and that in addition thereto the parties hereto shall have all
other remedies expressly set forth in this Agreement or that are available at law or in equity. 
 6.4 Integration. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement and understanding between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations, proposed agreements and agreements, written or oral, relating thereto except as expressly set forth
herein. There are no promises, statements, covenants, representations, or warranties, expressed or implied, oral or written, about the subject matter of this Agreement that are not contained herein. 
 6.5 Choice of Law. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho without
reference to its rules governing conflict of laws. 
 6.6 Attorney Fees. If a party to this Agreement files an action in any court or other
forum (including in or in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding) to enforce compliance with any term of this Agreement or to allege a breach thereof against the other party, the prevailing party in that action shall be entitled to recover all
reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and any necessary disbursements incurred therein, including, without limitation, expert witness fees, deposition costs, court clerk fees, service fees, and printing costs, in addition to any other relief to
which the party may be entitled at trial or upon appeal.

third party not a party to this Agreement.

held invalid or unenforceable. 
 6.9 Amendments; Modifications; Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any term or provision thereof may be
waived, modified, or amended, except by a written agreement signed by the party against whom the waiver, modification, or amendment is sought, and even then, only to the extent set forth in such written instrument. The failure of either party to
enforce at any time any of the 

  

 7 

 
provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement nor
any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of or non-compliance with this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach or non-compliance. No waiver
of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing by the party against which the waiver is to be effective 
 6.10
Construction. The parties to this Agreement have participated fully in its negotiation and preparation, with benefit of legal counsel, and accordingly, the Agreement shall not be more strictly construed against either one of the parties.
