of the provisions of each thereof and of the Bonds (i) are within the
purposes, powers and authority of the Board, (ii) to the best of the
knowledge of the Board, have been done in full compliance with the
provisions of the Act, are legal and will not conflict with or constitute

Encumbrances) upon any property of the Board under the provisions of, its
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, note agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Board
is a party or by which the Board is bound, or any license, judgment,

governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Board or any of
its activities or properties, and (iii) have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Board.
(d) Governmental Consents. Neither the nature of the Board nor any of
---------------------
its activities or properties, nor any relationship between the Board and
any other person, nor any circumstance in connection with the offer, issue,
sale or delivery of any of the Bonds is such as to require the consent,
approval or authorization of, or the filing, registration or qualification

with the execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture and this
Agreement, or the offer, issue, sale or delivery of the Bonds, other than

of the Board's intention to issue the Bonds required by Act No. 586 enacted
at the 1978 Regular Session of the Legislature of the State and the
issuance by the Director of the Alabama Securities Commission of such
Certificate of Notification as may be required by said Act, and (ii) the

preceding sentence and the Director of the Alabama Securities Commission
has issued a Certificate of Notification applicable to the Bonds, which
Certificate of Notification has not been revoked or rescinded and is in
full force and effect.
(e) No Defaults. The Board is not in default under the Act or under
-----------
its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or any other agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which is bound.
(f) No Prior Pledge. Neither the Project, this Agreement nor any of
---------------
the payments to be received by the Board under this Agreement have been
mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated in any manner or for any purpose other
than as provided in the Indenture as security of the payment of the Bonds.
(g) Nature and Location of Project. The Project will constitute a
------------------------------
"project" within the meaning of the Act, and the acquisition, construction
and installation of the Project Facilities is in furtherance of the public
purpose of the Act. The Project will be located within 25 miles of the
corporate limits of the City, and no part thereof is located within the
corporate limits or the police jurisdiction of any other incorporated

Section 2.2 - Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company
makes the following representations and warranties as the basis for the
undertakings on its part herein contained:
(a) The Company (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (ii) has all

to lease the Project to the Company, has induced the Company to locate the
Project within the State of Alabama and, more particularly, within 25 miles
of the City.
(d) The Project will create or preserve jobs and employment
opportunities within the boundaries of the State of Alabama, thereby
improving the economic welfare of the State of Alabama and the City.

the Project was not commenced, and no item which constitutes a part of the
Project was ordered, prior to the date of the resolution referred to in
Section 2.1(h) above that refers to such part of the Project.
(f) The Company is not subject to any contractual or other limitation
or provision of any nature whatsoever which in any material way limits,
restricts or prevents the Company from entering into this Agreement, or
performing any of its obligations hereunder; and the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement will not conflict with or result in a breach of the
terms, conditions or provisions of any restriction, agreement or instrument
to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a
default under any of the foregoing.
(g) The acquisition, construction, and installation of the Project
will comply in all material respects with all applicable zoning, planning,
building, environmental and other regulations of the governmental
authorities having jurisdiction of the Project, and all necessary permits,

will be obtained.
(h) The acquisition, construction, and installation of the Project as
well as its intended use and operation are in complete conformance with the
purposes and provisions of the Act.
(i) No event has occurred and no condition exists that would
constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement which, with the lapse
of time or with the giving of notice or both, would become an "Event of
Default" under this Agreement.
(j) To the best of its knowledge and belief, the Company is not in
violation of any laws, ordinances, governmental rules or regulations to
which it is subject and has not failed to obtain any licenses, permits,
franchises or other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership
of its properties or to the conduct of its business, which violation or
failure to obtain would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely
affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this
Agreement.

hereunder, or so long as the period for remedying any default in such
performance shall not have expired.
ARTICLE IV
COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT FACILITIES;
ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS
Section 4.1 - Agreement to Acquire, Construct and Install the Project
Facilities. The Board agrees that it will cause the Project Facilities to be
acquired, constructed and installed on the Project Land, wholly within the
boundary lines thereof.
The Board agrees that it will enter into, or accept the assignment of, such
contracts as the Company may request in order to effectuate the purposes of this
Section but that it will not execute any other contract or give any order for
construction or for the acquisition and installation of any equipment relating
to the Project Facilities, unless and until the Authorized Company
Representative shall have approved the same in writing.
The Board hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Company and The Mead
Corporation as its true, lawful and agents for the acquisition, construction and
installation of the Project Facilities, and the Company and The Mead Corporation
have accepted such agency to act and do all things on behalf of the Board, to
perform all acts and agreements of the Board hereinbefore provided in this
Section, and to bring any actions or proceedings against any person which the
Board might bring with respect thereto as the Company and The Mead Corporation
shall deem proper. The Board hereby ratifies and confirms all actions of, and
assumes and adopts all contracts entered into by, the Company and The Mead
Corporation with respect to the Project Facilities prior to the date hereof.
This appointment of the Company and The Mead Corporation to act as agents and
all authority hereby conferred or granted is conferred and granted irrevocably
until all activities in connection with the acquisition, construction and
installation of the Project Facilities shall have been completed, and shall not
be terminated prior thereto by act of the Board or of the Company and The Mead
Corporation. So long as the Company is not in default hereunder, upon the
completion of the Project (or at any time prior or subsequent thereto upon the
request of the Company) the Board will assign to the Company all warranties and
guarantees of all contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, architects and
engineers for the furnishing of labor, materials or equipment or supervision or
design in connection with the Project Facilities and any rights or causes of
action arising from or against any of the foregoing.
Section 4.2 - Agreement to Issue Bonds; Application of Bond Proceeds. In
order to provide funds for the payment of the cost of the acquisition,
construction and installation of the Project Facilities through the refunding of
the Notes, the Board agrees that it will authorize, sell and deliver the Bonds
to the initial purchasers thereof. Upon receipt of the proceeds from the sale
of the Bonds, the Board will deposit all accrued interest (if any) received upon
the sale of the Bonds in the Bond Fund and will deposit the balance of the
proceeds from said sale to the Project Fund, to be applied to the payment of the
Notes upon receipt by the Trustee of Notes tendered for cancellation.
Section 4.3 - Company Required to Pay Costs if Project Fund Insufficient.
If the moneys in the Project Fund available for payment of the costs of the
Project Facilities should not be sufficient to pay the costs thereof in full,
and if Additional Bonds are not issued to finance the completion of the Project
Facilities, the Company agrees to complete the Project Facilities and to pay all
that portion of the costs of the Project Facilities as may be in excess of the
moneys available therefor in the Project Fund. The Board does not make any
warranty, either express or implied, that the moneys which will be paid into the
Project Fund and which, under the provisions hereof, will be available for
payment of the costs of refunding the Notes, will be sufficient to pay all the
costs which will be incurred in that connection. The Company agrees that if
after exhaustion of the moneys in the Project Fund the Company should pay any
portion of the costs of refunding the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, it shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Board
or from the Trustee or from the holders or owners of any of the Bonds, nor shall
it be entitled to any diminution in or postponement or abatement of the rents
payable under Section 5.3.
Section 4.4 - Board to Pursue Remedies Against Suppliers, Contractors and
Subcontractors and Their Sureties. At the direction and sole cost of the
Company, the Board will promptly proceed, either separately or in conjunction
with others, to exhaust the remedies of the Board against any defaulting
supplier, contractor or subcontractor and against any surety therefor, for the
performance of any contract made in connection with the Project Facilities. If
the Company shall so notify the Board, the Company may, in its own name or in
the name of the Board, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding or take any
other action involving any such supplier, contractor, subcontractor or surety
which the Company deems reasonably necessary, and in such event the Board agrees
to cooperate fully with the Company and to take all action necessary, to the
extent it might lawfully do so, to effect the substitution of the Company for
the Board in any such action or proceeding. Any moneys recovered by way of
damages, refunds, adjustments or otherwise in connection with the foregoing
shall be paid to the Bond Fund.
Section 4.5 - Issuance of Additional Bonds. So long as there shall not
have occurred and be continuing an event of default hereunder or under the
Indenture, the Board shall, from time to time at the request of the Company, use
its best efforts to issue Additional Bonds in aggregate principal amounts as
requested by the Company under the terms and conditions provided herein and in

Additional Bonds. Additional Bonds may be issued to finance the (a) payment of
outstanding Notes, (b) refunding all of the Bonds of any one or more series then
outstanding, (c) payment of costs of the Project or (d) any combination of the
foregoing; provided, in any case, that either prior to or contemporaneously with
the issuance of Additional Bonds (i) the terms, conditions, manner of issuance,
purchase price, delivery and contemplated disposition of the proceeds of the
sale of such Additional Bonds shall have been approved in writing by the
President or any Vice President of the Company, and (ii) the conditions
specified in Article IV of the Indenture with respect to the issuance of such

ARTICLE V
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT;
DURATION OF LEASE TERM; RENTAL PROVISIONS
Section 5.1 - Effective Date of This Agreement; Duration of Lease Term.
This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution and delivery and the
leasehold interest created hereby shall then begin, and, unless sooner
terminated or extended under the provisions hereof (including particularly
Articles X and XI), shall expire upon the latter to occur of the following
events: (i) midnight, September 1, 2037, or (ii) payment in full of all Bonds
and any Additional Bonds.
Section 5.2 - Delivery and Acceptance of Possession. The Board agrees to
deliver to the Company sole and exclusive possession of the Project (subject to
the right of the Trustee to enter thereon for inspection purposes and to the
other provisions of Section 8.2) on the Completion Date and the Company agrees
to accept possession of the Project upon such delivery; provided, however, that
the Company shall be permitted such possession of the Project prior to the
Completion Date as shall not interfere with the acquisition, construction and
installation of the Project Facilities.
Section 5.3 - Rents and Other Amounts Payable. On March 1, 1998, and
September 1 and March 1 in each year thereafter until payment in full of the
Bonds, the Company shall pay to the Trustee, for the account of the Board, as
rent for the Project, a sum of money equal to the amount payable on such date as
principal of and interest on the Bonds, as provided in the Indenture. In any
event, on each date on which a payment of principal or interest is payable on
the Bonds, if at any such date the amount of money available in the Bond Fund is
insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest on such date,
the Company shall forthwith pay to the Trustee, in immediately available funds,
the amount of any such deficiency.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any amount of money at any
time held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund shall be credited against the next
succeeding payment of rent and shall reduce the payment to be then made by the
Company; and further, if, and for so long as, the amount held by the Trustee in
the Bond Fund should be sufficient to pay at the times required the principal of
and the interest on all Bonds then remaining unpaid, the Company shall not be
obligated to make any further rental payments under the provisions of this
Section.
The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee until the principal of and the
interest on the Bonds shall have been paid in full (i) an amount equal to the
annual fee of the Trustee for the Ordinary Services of the Trustee rendered and
its Ordinary Expenses incurred under the Indenture, (ii) the reasonable fees and
charges of the Trustee and any other paying agent for acting as paying agent and
as bond registrar and the reasonable fees of Trustee's counsel as provided in
the Indenture, as and when the same become due, and (iii) the reasonable fees
and charges of the Trustee for Extraordinary Services rendered by it and
Extraordinary Expenses incurred by it, as such terms are defined in the
Indenture, as and when the same become due; provided, that the Company may,
without precipitating an Event of Default hereunder, withhold such payment to
contest in good faith the necessity for any such Extraordinary Services and
Extraordinary Expenses and the reasonableness of any such fees, charges or
expenses.
If the Company should fail to make any of the payments required in this
Section, the item or installment which the Company has failed to make shall
continue as an obligation of the Company until the same shall have been fully
paid, and the Company agrees to pay the same (in the case of interest, to the
extent permitted by law) with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to
one percent per annum over the applicable interest rate borne by the Bonds,
calculated as described in the Indenture. The provisions of this Section shall
be subject to the provisions of Section 9.6.
Section 5.4 - Place of Rental Payments. The rents provided for in Section
5.3 and the interest on delinquent rents shall be paid directly to the Trustee
for the account of the Board and will be deposited in the Bond Fund. The other
payments
provided for in Section 5.3 shall be paid directly to the Trustee for its own
use or for disbursement to any other paying agent, as the case may be.
Section 5.5 - Obligations of Company Hereunder Absolute and Unconditional.
Subject to the provisions of Section 9.6, the obligations of the Company to make
the payments required in Section 5.3 and to perform and observe the other
agreements on its part contained herein shall be absolute and unconditional.
Until such time as payment in full of the Bonds shall have been made, the
Company (i) will not suspend or discontinue any payments provided for in Section
5.3 except to the extent the same have been prepaid, (ii) will perform and
observe all of its other agreements contained herein, (iii) will not suspend or
discontinue any payments provided for in Section 5.3 because of any right of set
off which the Company may have against the Board, the Trustee or the holder of
any Bond (provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any claim
by the Company by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim) and (iv) except as
provided in Section 11.1 will not terminate the Lease Term for any cause,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, failure of the
Board to complete the Project Facilities, failure of the Board's title in and to
the Project or any part thereof, any acts or circumstances that may constitute
failure of consideration, eviction or constructive eviction, destruction of or
damage to the Project, commercial frustration of purpose, any change in the tax
or other laws of the United States of America or of the State or any political
subdivision of either or any failure of the Board to perform and observe any
agreement, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation
arising out of or in connection herewith or with the Indenture. Nothing
contained in this Section shall be construed to release the Board from the
performance of any of the agreements on its part herein contained; and if the
Board should fail to perform any such agreement, the Company may institute such
action against the Board as the Company may deem necessary to compel performance
or recover its damages for nonperformance so long as such action shall not do
violence to the agreements on the part of the Company contained in the preceding
sentence. The Company may, however, at its own cost and expense and in its own
name or in the name of the Board, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
or take any other action involving third persons which the Company deems
reasonably necessary in order to insure the completion of the acquisition,
construction and installation of the Project Facilities or to secure or protect
its right of possession, occupancy and use of the Project hereunder, and in such
event the Board hereby agrees to cooperate fully with the Company and to take
all lawful action which is required to effect the substitution of the Company
for the Board in any such action or proceeding if the Company shall so request.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to be a waiver of any rights
which the Company may have against the Board under this Agreement, or against
other persons under this Agreement, the Indenture, or otherwise, or under any
provision of law.
Section 5.6 - Company's Performance Under Indenture. The Company agrees,
for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Bonds, to do and perform
all acts and things contemplated in the Indenture to be done or performed by it.
Section 5.7 - Payments in Lieu of Taxes. The Board and the Company
acknowledge that, under present law, the Project, as long as it is owned by the
Board, is exempt from ad valorem taxation by the State of Alabama or any
political or taxing subdivision thereof, including Russell County.
The Company agrees that it will make payments in lieu of taxes ("PILOT
Payments")so long as the Bonds and any Additional Bonds are outstanding and
subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of this Section 5.7, in the
amounts and at the times and in the manner set forth below. The PILOT Payments
shall be payable on August 15 of each year, commencing August 15, 1998.
The aggregate PILOT Payments for each year shall be in an amount equal to
60% of the "education taxes" (as defined below) that would be payable with
respect to the Project leased under the Lease, calculated as of the December 31
of the second preceding calendar year (each December 31, an "Assessment Date")
with respect to those
portions of the Project capitalized for financial accounting purposes and leased
under this Agreement on such Assessment Date. For purposes of this Section 5.7,
"education taxes" means the ad valorem taxes then currently levied on property
situated in Russell County to support public schools in Russell County (i.e.,
----
the levy for the Russell County Board of Education and the Russell County
countywide schools levy levied as of the applicable Assessment Date), which
taxes would be assessed against the Project if the Project was not exempt from
ad valorem taxes. The PILOT Payments shall be distributed as follows: 55% to the
Phenix City Board of Education, 35% to the Russell County Board of Education, 5%
of the Calculation Amount to the City of Phenix City and 5% of the Calculation
Amount to Russell County.
The calculation of the amount of PILOT Payments due shall be made by the
Company and by March 15 of each year, the Company will provide to the Board and
each recipient of PILOT Payments a report of the amount due on the next
succeeding August 15. The Company's calculations of the PILOT Payments, absent
manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Board and all
recipients of PILOT Payments.
The Board acknowledges that the obligation of the Company to made any
payment of PILOT Payments as additional rent provided for in this section is
conditioned upon the Project remaining exempt from ad valorem taxation
throughout the period or term to which the Project so becomes subject to ad
valorem taxation.

necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof.
(b) The Company may from time to time, in its sole discretion and at
its own expense, make any additions, modifications or improvements to the
Project Facilities, including installation of additional machinery,
equipment, and related property that do not impair the effective use of the
Project Facilities. All machinery, equipment and related personal property
so installed by the Company shall not be subject to this Agreement but
shall be subject to the Landlord's Lien created under the Code of Alabama
1975, Section 35-9-60. All such machinery, equipment and related personal
property may be modified or removed at any time while there exists no event
of default hereunder; provided, that any damage to the Project Facilities
occasioned by such modification or removal shall be repaired by the Company
at its own expense.
(c) The Company shall not permit any mechanics', materialmen's,
suppliers', vendors' or other similar liens to be established or remain
against the Project for labor or materials furnished or services rendered
in connection with any additions, modifications, improvements, repairs,
renewals or replacements so made by it; provided, that if the Company shall
first notify the Trustee of its intention so to do, the Company may in good
faith contest any mechanics', materialmen's, suppliers', vendors' or other
similar liens filed or established against the Project, and in such event
may permit the items so contested to remain undischarged and unsatisfied
during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom unless the Board
of the Trustee shall notify the Company that by nonpayment of any such
items the lien or security interests afforded by this Agreement or the
Indenture as to any part of the Project or the rents, payments and revenues
from the Project will be materially endangered or the Project or any part
thereof or the rents, payments and revenues from the Project will be
subject to loss or forfeiture, in which event the Company shall
promptly pay and cause to be satisfied and discharged all such unpaid
items. The Board will cooperate fully with the Company in any such contest.
Section 6.2 - Removal of Portions of Project. The Board shall not be under
any obligation to renew, repair or replace any inadequate, obsolete, worn out,
unsuitable, undesirable, inappropriate or unnecessary items of machinery or
equipment comprising the Project Facilities. If the Company in its sole
discretion determines that any such items have become inadequate, obsolete, worn
out, unsuitable, undesirable, inappropriate or unnecessary for its purposes at
such time, the Company may remove such items from the Project and (on behalf of
the Board) sell, trade in, or otherwise dispose of them (as a whole or in part)
without any responsibility or accountability to the Board or the Trustee
therefor, provided that such removal does not impair the operation of the
Project Facilities.
The removal of any portion of the Project Facilities pursuant to the
provisions of this Section shall not entitle the Company to any diminution in or
postponement or abatement of the rents payable under Section 5.3.
The Company shall promptly report to the Trustee each such removal,
substitution, sale, trade-in or other disposition.
Section 6.3 - Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. The

nature, foreseen or unforeseen, for the payment of which the Board or the
Company is or shall become liable by reason of its estate or interest in the
Project or any portion thereof, by reason of any right or interest of the Board
or the Company in or under this Agreement, or by reason of or in any manner
connected with or arising out of the possession, operation, maintenance,
alteration, repair, rebuilding or use of the Project or any part thereof. The
Company also agrees to pay and discharge all lawful real estate taxes, personal
property taxes, water charges, sewer charges, assessments and all other lawful
governmental taxes, impositions and charges of every kind and nature, ordinary
and extraordinary, general or special, foreseen or unforeseen, whether similar
or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, and all applicable interest and penalties
thereon, if any, which at any time during the term of this Agreement shall be or
become due and payable by the Board or the Company and which shall be lawfully
levied, assessed or imposed
(a) upon or with respect to, or shall be or become liens upon, the
Project or any portion thereof or any interest of the Board or the Company
therein or under this Agreement;
(b) upon or with respect to the income or profits of the Board from
the Project or under this Agreement;

(d) upon this transaction or any document to which the Board or the
Company is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the
Project;
under or by virtue of any present or future law, statute, ordinance, regulation
or other requirement of any governmental authority, whether federal, state,
county, city, municipal, school or otherwise.
The Company also agrees to pay any special assessments for public
improvements or benefits for which the Company would have otherwise have been
liable had it in fact been the owner of the Project.
The Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure or cause to be
procured any and all necessary building permits, other permits, licenses and
other authorizations required for the lawful and proper construction, use,
occupation, operation and management of the Project. The Company also agrees to
pay or cause to be paid all lawful charges for gas, water, sewer, electricity,
light, heat, power, telephone and other utility and service used, rendered or
supplied to, upon or in connection with the Project and the Board will cooperate
with the Company in securing such permits, licenses and authorizations.
The Company may, at its own expense and in its own name and behalf or in
the name and behalf of the Board, in good faith contest any such taxes,
assessments and other charges and, in the event of any such contest, may permit
the taxes, assessments and other charges so contested to remain unpaid during
the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom unless the Board or the
Trustee shall notify the Company that by nonpayment of any such items the lien
or security interests afforded by this Agreement or the Indenture as to any part
of the Project or the rents, payments and revenues derived from the Project will
be materially endangered or the Project or any part thereof will be subject to
loss or forfeiture, in which event such taxes, assessments or charges shall be
paid promptly. The Board shall cooperate fully with the Company in any such
contest. If the Company shall fail to pay any of the foregoing items required
by this Section to be paid by the Company and shall not cure any failure within
any applicable curative provisions provided herein, the Board or the Trustee may
(but shall be under no obligation to) pay the same, and any amounts so advanced
therefor by the Board or the Trustee shall become an additional obligation of
the Company to the one making the advancement, which amounts, together with
interest thereon at the rate of interest borne by the Bonds from the date
thereof, the Company agrees to pay.
Section 6.4 - Insurance Required. Throughout the Lease Term the Company
shall keep the Project continuously insured (or maintain programs of self-
insurance) against such risks as are customarily insured against by businesses
of like size and type.
Section 6.5 - Application of Net Proceeds of Insurance. The insurance
carried pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.4 shall be applied as follows:

companies selected by the Company and may be written with deductible amounts
comparable to those on similar policies carried by other companies engaged in
businesses similar in size and type and other respects as the Company. The
insurance hereby required may be contained in blanket policies or self-insurance
programs now or hereafter maintained by the Company.
Section 6.7 - Other Board Expenses. Anything to the contrary herein
notwithstanding, the Company shall pay any reasonable and necessary expenses not
specifically mentioned herein which are incurred by the Board in connection with
the Project, this Agreement, the Indenture, any financing statements or the
Bonds, and which are not payable from the Project Fund pursuant to Section 4.2.
Section 6.8 - Advances by Board or Trustee. If the Company fails to
maintain the insurance coverage required hereby or fails to keep the Project
Facilities in as reasonably safe condition as its operating conditions will
permit, or fails to keep the Project Facilities in good repair and good
operating condition and shall not cure any failure within any applicable
curative provisions provided herein, the Board or the Trustee may (but unless
satisfactorily indemnified shall be under no obligation to) take out policies of
insurance and pay the premiums on the same or make the required repairs,
renewals and replacements; and all amounts so advanced therefor by the Board or
the Trustee will become an additional obligation of the Company to the one
making
the advancement, which amounts, together with interest thereon at the rate of
interest borne by the Bonds from the date thereof, the Company agrees to pay.
Section 6.9 - Indemnification of Board and Trustee. The Company will also
pay and discharge and will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and the
members, officers, agents and employees of the Issuer from (a) any condition of
the Project caused by the Company, (b) any liens, taxes, assessments,
impositions and other charges upon payments by the Company to the Issuer
hereunder, (c) any breach or default on the part of the Company in the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder, (d) any act of negligence of
the Company or of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees, (e)

expenses arising out of or resulting from the acquisition, construction and
installation of the Project or the use or operation of the Project or any other
activity carried out thereon or in connection therewith or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture, including the reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel, except as the same may arise out of the negligence or
misconduct on the part of the Issuer. If any such lien or charge is sought to
be imposed upon payments, or any such taxes, assessments, impositions or other
charges are sought to be imposed, or any such liability, damages, costs and
expenses are sought to be imposed, the Issuer will give prompt notice to the
Company, and the Company shall have the sole right and duty to assume, and will
assume, the defense thereof, with full power to litigate, compromise or settle
the same in its sole discretion. The indemnification provided by this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
The Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith
on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the Indenture, including the reasonable costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties thereunder or hereunder.
Section 6.10 - Investment Credit. The Board agrees that any investment tax
credit with respect to the Project or any part thereof shall be made available
to the Company, and the Board will fully cooperate with the Company in any
effort by the Company to avail itself of any such investment tax credit, but
neither the Board nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for
the Company's failure to receive any such investment tax credit. The Board
agrees to cause the Trustee to cooperate in making any investment tax credit
available to the Company.
ARTICLE VII

Bonds the Project Facilities are destroyed (in whole or in part) or are damaged
by fire or other casualty, the Company, or the Board at the Company's direction,
(i) shall promptly replace, repair, rebuild or restore the property damaged or
destroyed to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the event
causing such damage or destruction, with such changes, alterations and
modifications (including the substitution and addition of other property) as may
be desired by the Company and as will not impair the operation of the Project
Facilities, and (ii) shall apply for such purpose so much as may be necessary of
any Net Proceeds of insurance resulting from claims for such losses, as well as
any additional moneys of the Company necessary therefor. All Net Proceeds of
insurance resulting from claims for such losses shall be paid to the Company.
If said Net Proceeds are not sufficient to pay in full the costs of such
replacement, repair, rebuilding or restoration, the Company shall nonetheless
complete the work thereof and shall pay that portion of the costs thereof in
excess of the amount of said Net Proceeds. The Company shall not, by reason of
the payment of such excess costs, be entitled to any reimbursement from the
Board or any abatement, diminution or postponement of the amounts payable under
Section 5.3.
Section 7.2 - Condemnation. If the title in and to, or the temporary use
of, the Project or any part thereof shall be taken under the exercise of the
power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any other person acting
under governmental authority, the Company shall be obligated to continue to pay
the rents specified in Section 5.3. The Board, the Company and the Trustee
shall cause the Net Proceeds received by them or any of them, from any award
made in such eminent domain proceeding, to be paid to and held by the Company
and applied in one or more of the following ways at the election of the Company:
(a) the restoration of the Project to substantially the same
condition as existed prior to the exercise of such power of eminent domain;
(b) the acquisition, by construction or otherwise, of other
industrial facilities suitable for the Company's operations at the Project
(which facilities will be deemed a part of the Project and available for
use and occupancy by the Company and will be leased to the Company
hereunder without the payment of any rents other than herein provided to
the same extent as if such other improvements were specifically described
herein); provided, that such facilities will be acquired subject to no
liens, security interests or encumbrances prior to the lien afforded by
this Agreement and the Indenture, other than Permitted Encumbrances; or
(c) payment into the Bond Fund to provide for payment in full of the
Bonds at the earliest date that the Bonds may be called for redemption.
The Board shall cooperate fully with the Company in the handling and
conduct of any prospective or pending eminent domain proceeding with respect to
the Project or any part thereof and shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so,
permit the Company to litigate in any such proceeding in the name and on behalf
of the Board. In no event will the Board voluntarily settle, or consent to the
settlement of, any prospective or pending eminent domain proceeding with respect
to the Project or any part thereof without the written consent of the Company.
Section 7.3 - Condemnation of Company-Owned Property. The Company shall be
entitled to the proceeds of any condemnation award or portion thereof made for
damages to or taking of its own property or for damages on account of the taking
of or interference with the Company's rights to possession, use or occupancy of

intended so to be or for carrying out the intention of or facilitating the
performance of this Agreement.

District of Columbia (a "domestic corporation"), or permit one or more other
domestic corporations to consolidate with or merge into it, or sell or otherwise
transfer to another domestic corporation all or substantially all of its assets

the State. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not dissolve or

happened and be continuing, the Company may at any time or times cause to be
granted easements (including party wall agreements), licenses, rights-of-way
(temporary or perpetual and including the dedication of public highways) and
other rights or privileges in the nature of easements with respect to any
property included in the Project Land and such grant will be free from any lien
or security interest created by this Agreement and the Indenture, or the Company
may cause to be released existing easements, licenses, rights-of-way and other
rights or privileges in the nature of easements, held with respect to any
property included in the Project Land with or without consideration and the
Board agrees that it shall execute and deliver and will cause and direct the
Trustee to execute and deliver any instrument necessary or appropriate to
confirm and grant or release any such easement, license, right-of-way or other
right or privilege upon receipt of: (i) a copy of the instrument of grant or
release, and (ii) a written application signed by the president or any vice
president of the Company requesting the execution and delivery of such
instrument and stating that such grant or release is not detrimental to the
proper conduct of the business of the Company, and that such grant or release
will not impair the effective use or interfere with the operations of the
Project Facilities and will not materially weaken, diminish or impair the
security intended to be given by or under this Agreement and the Indenture.
Section 8.6 - Release of Certain Land. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, the parties hereto reserve the right to amend this Agreement at any time
and from time to time by mutual agreement for the purpose of effecting the
release of and removal of (i) any unimproved part of the Project Land (on which

(b) a resolution of the Board (i) stating that the Board is not in
default under any of the provisions hereof or of the Indenture and that the
Company is not to the knowledge of the Board in default under any of the
provisions hereof, (ii) giving an adequate legal description of that
portion of the Project Land to be released, (iii) stating the purpose for
which the Board desires the release, (iv) stating that the improvements
which will be constructed or the facilities and services which will be
provided, increased or improved will be such as will promote at least one
of the public purposes of the Board, and (v) requesting such release;
(c) a certificate of the president or any vice president of the
Company indicating approval of such amendment and stating that the Company
is not in default under any of the provisions hereof;

will not impair the usefulness of the Project Facilities and will not
destroy the means of ingress thereto and egress therefrom.

Trustee, subject, however, to the following conditions:
(a) no assignment (other than pursuant to Section 8.3) or sublease
shall relieve the Company from primary liability for any of its obligations
hereunder, and if any such assignment occurs, the Company shall continue to
remain primarily liable for payment of the rents specified in Section 5.3
and for performance and observance of the other agreements on its part
herein provided to be performed and observed by it; and
(b) the Company shall, within 30 days after the delivery thereof,

together with any instrument of assumption.
Section 9.2 - Pledge under Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture,
the Board shall assign and create a security interest with respect to its
interest in, and pledge all rents, revenues and receipts arising out of or in
connection with its ownership of, the Project to the Trustee, as security for

Agreement and Indenture, it shall not (i) sell (other than as contemplated
herein), assign, transfer or convey the Project during the Lease Term, (ii)
create or suffer to be created any debt, lien or charge on the rents, payments
and revenues arising out of or in connection with its ownership of the Project,
or (iii) take any other action which might reasonably be construed as tending to
cause or induce the levy or assessment of ad valorem taxes on the Project or on
its title in and to the Project. If the laws of the State at the time permit
such action to be taken, nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the
consolidation of the Board with, or the merger of the Board into, or the
transfer of the Project as an entirety to, any public corporation whose property
and income are not subject to taxation and which has corporate authority to
carry on the business of owning and leasing the Project; provided (a) that no
such action shall be taken without the prior written consent of the Company,
unless such action shall be required by law, and (b) that upon any such
consolidation, merger or transfer, the due and punctual payment of the principal
of and the interest on the Bonds, and the due and punctual performance and
observance of all the agreements hereof to be kept and performed by the Board,
shall be expressly assumed in writing by the corporation resulting from such
consolidation or surviving such merger or to which the Project shall be
transferred as an entirety.
Section 9.4 - Redemption of Bonds. The Board, at the request at any time
of the Company and if the same are then redeemable, shall forthwith take all
steps that may be necessary under the applicable redemption provisions of the
Indenture to effect redemption of all or any portion of the Bonds, as may be
specified by the Company, on the earliest applicable redemption date on which
such redemption may be made under such applicable provisions or upon the date
set for the redemption by the Company pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 11.1. As long
as the Company is not in default hereunder and the Board is not obligated to
call Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Board shall not redeem
any Bond prior to its respective stated maturity unless requested to do so in
writing by the Company.
Section 9.5 - Prepayment of Rents. There is expressly reserved to the
Company the right, and the Company is authorized and permitted, at any time it
may choose, so long as it is not in default hereunder, to prepay all or any part
of the rents and other payments payable under Section 5.3, and the Board agrees
that the Trustee may accept such prepayment when the same is tendered by the
Company. All prepaid rents shall be credited on the rents specified in Section
5.3, and at the election of the Company shall be used for the redemption or
purchase of Bonds in the manner and to the extent provided in the Indenture.
Section 9.6 - Rent Abatements if Bonds Paid Prior to Maturity. If at any
time the Indenture is discharged in accordance with Article X of the Indenture,
and if the Company is not at the time otherwise in default hereunder, the
Company shall be entitled to use and occupy the Project, without the payment of
rent during the interval (but otherwise on the terms and conditions hereof),
from the date on which such moneys are in the Bond Fund to and including the
later to occur of either (i) midnight, September 1, 2037 or (ii) payment in full
of all Bonds and any Additional Bonds.
Section 9.7 - Reference to Bonds Ineffective After Bonds Paid. Upon
payment in full of the Bonds and all fees and charges of the Trustee, all
references herein to the Bonds and the Trustee shall be ineffective and neither
the Trustee nor the holders of any of the Bonds shall thereafter have any rights
hereunder, saving and excepting those that shall have theretofore vested.
Reference is hereby made to Section 1002 of the Indenture which sets forth the
conditions upon the existence or occurrence of which payment in full of the
Bonds shall be deemed to have been made.

ARTICLE X
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 10.1 - Events of Default Defined. The following shall be Events of
Default hereunder and the term Event of Default shall mean, whenever it is used
herein, any one or more of the following events:
(a) Failure by the Company to make any payment required under Section
5.3 on or before the date that the payment is due and continuance of such
failure for ten Business Days after receipt of notice of such failure from
the Trustee.
(b) Failure by the Company to observe and perform any other covenant,
condition or agreement on its part under this Agreement (other than as
referred to in subsection (a) of this Section), for a period of ninety (90)
days after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it
be remedied, shall be given to the Company by the Trustee, unless the
Trustee shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its
expiration; provided, however, if the failure stated in the notice cannot
be remedied within the applicable period, the Board and the Trustee will
not unreasonably withhold their consent to an extension of such time if it
is possible to correct such failure and corrective action is instituted by
the Company within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the
default is corrected;
(c) Any warranty, representation or other statement by or on behalf of
the Company contained in this Agreement, or any instrument furnished in
compliance with or in reference to this Agreement or the Indenture, is
false or misleading in any material respect; or
(d) The dissolution or liquidation of the Company or the filing by the
Company of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or the commission by the
Company of any act of bankruptcy, or adjudication of the Company as a
bankrupt, or assignment by the Company for the benefit of its creditors, or
the entry by the Company into an agreement of composition with its
creditors, or the approval by a court of competent jurisdiction of a
petition applicable to the Company in any proceeding for its reorganization
instituted under the provisions of the Federal bankruptcy statutes, as
amended, or under any similar act which may hereafter be enacted. The term
"dissolution or liquidation of the Company", as used in this subsection,
shall not be construed to include the cessation of the corporate existence
of the Company resulting from a merger or consolidation of the Company into
or with another corporation or a dissolution or liquidation of the Company
following a transfer of all or substantially all of its assets as an
entirety.
Section 10.2 - Remedies. Whenever any Event of Default shall have happened
and be continuing, the Trustee, as the assignee of the Board under the
Indenture, shall have the following rights and remedies:
(a) The Trustee may, and upon the written request of the holders of
not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in outstanding principal amount of
the Bonds, shall by notice in writing delivered to the Company, declare all
installments of rent payable under Section 5.3 for the remainder of the
Lease Term to be immediately due and payable. Upon such acceleration, the
amount then due and payable by the Company as accelerated rent shall be the
sum required to provide for payment in full of the Bonds on the earliest
possible date on which such payment can be made. Such sums as may then
become payable shall be paid into the Bond Fund and after payment in full
of the Bonds and payment of any cost occasioned by such Event of Default,
any excess moneys in the Bond Fund shall be returned to the Company as an
overpayment of rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default by reason of the occurrence of any event specified for
Section 10.1(d), all installments of rent payable under Section 5.3 for the
remainder of the Lease Term shall automatically become
22
and be immediately due and payable without any action by the Trustee or the
Board being necessary.
(b) The Trustee may take whatever action at law or in equity may
appear necessary or desirable to collect the rents and any other payments
then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and
observance of any covenant, condition or agreement of the Company
hereunder;
(c) The Trustee may exercise any remedies provided for in the
Indenture and, with respect to any security interest, the rights of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State.
Any amounts collected pursuant to action taken under this Section shall be paid
into the Bond Fund and applied in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture or, if payment in full of the Bonds has been made, shall be paid to
the Company.
Section 10.3 - No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Board or the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other
available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative
and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to
exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver
thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as
often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Board or the Trustee
to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary
to give any notice, other than such notice or notices as may be herein expressly
required. Such remedies as are reserved to the Board in this Article shall also
extend to the Trustee, and the Trustee and the holders of the Bonds shall be
deemed third-party beneficiaries of all agreements herein contained.
Section 10.4 - Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. If there
should occur an Event of Default hereunder and the Board or the Trustee should
employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of rents or the
enforcement of performance or observance of any agreement on the part of the
Company herein contained, the Company agrees that it will on demand therefor pay
to the Board or the Trustee the reasonable fee of such attorneys and such other
reasonable expenses so incurred by the Board or the Trustee.
Section 10.5 - No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. If any
agreement contained herein should be breached by either party and thereafter
waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach
so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
Section 10.6 - Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, etc. If there should
occur an Event of Default hereunder, the Company agrees to waive, to the extent
it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, and all right of
appraisement and redemption to which it may be entitled.
Section 10.7 - Waiver of Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall be deemed to have waived any Event of
Default hereunder and its consequences and to have rescinded any acceleration of
the rents and other amounts payable under this Agreement whenever the Trustee
has waived such Event of Default pursuant to the Indenture.
ARTICLE XI

Company consented; (c) those liens and encumbrances resulting from the failure
of the Company to perform or observe any of its agreements contained herein; and

Section 11.3 - Relative Positions of Options and Indenture. The options
granted to the Company in this Article shall be and remain prior and superior to
the Indenture and may be exercised whether or not there exists an Event of
Default hereunder, provided that the existence of such Event of Default will not

FIRST AMENDMENT
---------------
TO
--
LEASE AGREEMENT
---------------
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is made and
entered into as of August 1, 1998 by and between THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
BOARD OF THE CITY OF PHENIX CITY, ALABAMA (the "Board"), a public body corporate
and politic duly organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the
State of Alabama, and MEAD COATED BOARD, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company").
R E C I T A L S
---------------
The Board has previously issued and sold $150,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of The Industrial Development Board of the City of Phenix City,
Alabama Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Mead Coated Board Project), Series
1997A (the "Bonds") pursuant to a Trust Indenture dated as of September 1, 1997
(the "Original Indenture") from the Board to AmSouth Bank (formerly AmSouth Bank
of Alabama and AmSouth Bank, N.A.), as Trustee (the "Trustee").
The Board has used the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds for the payment of
outstanding industrial development temporary borrowing notes (the "Notes")
issued by the Board for the purpose of funding the acquisition, construction and
installation of a coated natural kraft mill and related facilities (the
"Project") in connection with certain industrial facilities located near Phenix
City, Alabama. The Project is owned by the Board and leased to the Company
pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated as of September 1, 1997 (the "Agreement").
The Agreement obligates the Company to make rental payments in such amounts and
at such times as will provide for the payment of the principal and interest on
the Bonds as the same becomes due and payable. In addition, the Company is
required under Section 5.7 of the Agreement to make certain payments in lieu of
taxes ("PILOT Payments").
The Board and the Company now wish to amend Section 5.7 to revise the
provisions relating to PILOT Payments. Pursuant to Section 1502 of the
Indenture, the Board and the Company are permitted to amend the Agreement so
long as the Trustee and the Bondholder consent to such amendment. The Trustee
and the Bondholder have consented to this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, as contemplated by Section 12.5 of the Agreement and in
accordance with Section 1502 of the Indenture, the parties hereto desire to
amend the Agreement as follows:
Section 1. Amendment of Agreement. Section 5.7 of the Agreement is
--------- ----------------------
amended by adding at the end of such section the following paragraph:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PILOT Payments shall be reduced as set
forth in this paragraph. The PILOT Payments in the aggregate due under this
Agreement, combined with the payments in lieu of tax payable by the Company
pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Lease Agreement dated as of June 1, 1993 (the
"1993 Lease") between the Board and the Company, without giving effect to the
reduction provided for in this paragraph, are herein referred to as the "Formula
Payments". The total payments due under this Section 5.7 and under Section 5.7
of the 1993 Lease are herein referred to as the "Aggregate Payments". The
Aggregate Payments due to the Phenix City Board of Education in August, 1998
shall be $139,867, reflecting a reduction from the Formula Payments otherwise
due to the Phenix City Board of Education. The Aggregate Payments due to the
Russell County Board of Education in August, 1998 shall be $82,256, reflecting a
reduction from the Formula Payments otherwise due to the Russell County Board of
Education. The Aggregate Payments due to the Russell County Board of Education
in August, 1999 shall be reduced by $6,551 from the Formula Payments otherwise
due to the Russell County Board of Education. The Aggregate Payments due to
Russell County in August, 1998 and each successive year thereafter shall be
reduced from the Formula Payments otherwise due to Russell County to $61,894
until the aggregate amount of such reductions from the Formula Payment totals
$135,310; provided that in the year in which such aggregate reductions would
exceed $135,310, such reduction from the Formula Payment shall be in an amount
equal to the amount necessary to cause the aggregate reductions to total
$135,310.
Section 2. Agreement and Amendment as One Document. As amended by this
---------- ---------------------------------------
Amendment, the Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed and the
Agreement and this Amendment shall be read, taken and construed as one and the
same instrument.
Section 3. References. All references herein or in the Agreement to any
---------- ----------
Article, Section or provision of the Agreement shall refer to any such Article,
Section or provision as hereby amended.
Section 4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be simultaneously executed in
---------- ------------
several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 5. Captions. The captions or headings in this Amendment are for
---------- --------
convenience only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of
any provision of this Amendment.
Section 6. Applicable Law. This Amendment shall be construed in
---------- --------------
accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Board and the Company have caused this Amendment to
be executed in their respective corporate names as of the date first written
above.

(the "First Supplemental Indenture") and a resolution of the Board of even date,

consent, approval or authorization of, or the filing, registration or
qualification with, any governmental authority on the part of the Board in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Second
Supplemental Indenture and this Amendment, or the offer, issue, sale or
delivery of the Series 1998A Bonds, other than (i) the filing with the

Series 1998A Bonds, which Certificate of Notification has not been revoked
or rescinded and is in full force and effect.

which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a
default under any of the foregoing.
(e) No event has occurred and no condition exists that would
constitute an "Event of Default" under the Agreement or this Amendment
which, with the lapse of time or with the giving of notice or both, would
become an "Event of Default" under the Agreement or this Amendment.

violation of any laws, ordinances, governmental rules or regulations to
which it is subject and has not failed to obtain any licenses, permits,
franchises or other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership
of its properties or to the conduct of its business, which violation or

violation of any laws, ordinances, governmental rules or regulations to
which it is subject and has not failed to obtain any licenses, permits,
