(c) Neither Greif nor NSC nor any of their respective Affiliates (which Affiliates are directly or indirectly engaged in the Polywoven Industrial Packaging Business), nor any Global Alliance Entity or any Global Alliance Subsidiary nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees who are working for a Person that is involved directly or indirectly in the Global Alliance, or, so far as Greif or NSC is aware, any agent, distributor or any other Person acting for or on behalf of the foregoing (individually and collectively, an Applicable Person), shall violate any anti-bribery or anti-corruption Laws, nor shall any Applicable Person, directly or indirectly, offer, pay, promise to pay, or authorize the payment or giving of any bribe, influence payoff, payment, kickback, gift, money or anything of value (a Prohibited Payment) to any officer or employee of, or any other person acting in an official capacity for any Governmental Authority, or instrumentality thereof, to any political party or official thereof, or to any candidate for political office, or to any family member of or any other person who is connected or associated personally with any of the foregoing (individually and collectively, a Government Official) or to any person under circumstances where such Applicable Person knew or was aware of a reasonable probability that all or a portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given or promised, directly or indirectly, to any Government Official, for the purpose of:

(i) either influencing any act or decision of such Government Official in his official capacity, inducing such Government Official to do or omit to do any act in relation to his lawful duty, securing any improper advantage, or inducing such Government Official to influence or affect any act or decision of any Governmental Authority or instrumentality; or

(ii) assisting Xxxxx, XXX, any Global Alliance Entity, any Global Alliance Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to any of them.

(iii) Each of Greif, NSC, Greif Parent and Dabbagh Parent agrees to promptly report to the other parties any Prohibited Payment made in connection with the Global Alliance, any Global Alliance Entity or any Global Alliance Subsidiary of which any of them obtains knowledge or has reasonable grounds to believe has occurred.

26

(d) Neither Greif nor NSC nor any of their respective Affiliates (which Affiliates are directly or indirectly engaged in the Polywoven Industrial Packaging Business), nor any Global Alliance Entity or Global Alliance Subsidiary nor any of their respective officers, employees, directors or agents (individually and collectively, a Relevant Person) shall engage directly or indirectly in transactions connected with any government, country, or other entity or Person that is the target of or subject to sanctions administered by OFAC or any other relevant Governmental Authority, including all entities owned by any Persons identified on the SDN List. No Relevant Person is any such Person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Greif acknowledges that, NSC and its Affiliates may engage in transactions with (i) countries or governments that are subject to sanctions administered by OFAC or any other relevant Governmental Authority and (ii) Persons identified on OFAC’s SDN List solely due to their being owned or controlled by a government that is subject to OFAC sanctions under a “country regime” (rather than a “bad actor” regime), provided that: (x) such activities do not violate laws applicable to NSC or its Affiliates, (y) such activities are wholly unrelated to any of Greif or its Affiliates, the Global Alliance, any Global Alliance Entity or any Global Alliance Subsidiary and do not contravene the Joint Venture Compliance Policy and (z) such activities do not constitute the predominant share of the business activities (as constituted by revenues generated) of NSC or Dabbagh Parent or result in NSC or Dabbagh Parent materially acting on behalf of such Persons, countries or governments. Each of Greif, NSC, Greif Parent and Dabbagh Parent agrees to promptly report to the other parties upon obtaining knowledge or having reasonable grounds to believe that a Relevant Person has become or is reasonably likely to become the target of any such sanctions which may be grounds for termination of the Global Alliance pursuant to Section 4.2(a) of the Joint Venture Agreement.

4.8 Cooperation; Resolution of Objections

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement, each of Greif and NSC shall make (and cooperate with the other in making) all filings with Governmental Authorities in connection with the Transactions and shall obtain (and cooperate with the other in obtaining) any Governmental Approvals or Third Party Approvals required to be obtained or made by it in connection with any of the Transactions to be consummated by it at the Closing as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish or cause to be furnished, as promptly as practicable, all information and documents reasonably required by the relevant Governmental Authorities to obtain such approvals and shall otherwise cooperate in all reasonable respects with the applicable Governmental Authorities to obtain any required Governmental Approvals in as expeditious a manner as possible.

(b) Each of Greif and NSC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as any Governmental Authority may assert with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions under Applicable Laws, including requesting reconsideration (which may be initiated by Greif if it is affected thereby or by NSC if it is affected thereby or requested by Greif if Greif is not affected thereby or requested by NSC if NSC is not affected thereby) of any adverse ruling of any Governmental Authority and taking administrative appeals, if available and reasonably likely to result in a reversal of such adverse ruling. If any Proceeding is instituted by any Person challenging this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions, each of Greif and NSC shall promptly consult with each other to determine the most appropriate response to such Proceeding and shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Person subject to any such Proceeding, provided that the decision whether to initiate, and the control of, any Proceeding shall remain within the sole discretion of the Person subject to the Proceeding.

27

4.9 Further Assurances

Each of Greif and NSC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done, and to cause its respective Affiliates to do or cause to be done, such further acts and things and deliver or cause to be delivered to the other or its designees such additional assignments, agreements, powers and instruments as the other or its designees may reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purpose of the Transaction Documents or to better assure and confirm unto the other or its designees its rights, powers and remedies hereunder and thereunder, except that none of Greif and NSC shall be required to agree to or comply with any Burdensome Condition.

5.		INDEMNIFICATION
5.1		Indemnification for Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements

(a) Indemnification by Greif. Except as specifically set forth in the Shared Services Agreement in connection with the provision of certain services thereunder following the Closing, Greif shall pay, indemnify and reimburse NSC and its Affiliates, officers, directors, executives, employees and agents (the Dabbagh Indemnified Parties), and the Global Alliance Entities (collectively, the Greif Protected Parties) for any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them (directly or indirectly) as a result of, or with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by Greif or its Affiliates contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (subject, in the case of any Transaction Document other than this Agreement, to (A) any express provision in any such other Transaction Document that this Section 5 (or any part thereof) shall not apply to such other Transaction Document and (B) any limitation on the indemnification rights or obligations of a party contained in any such other Transaction Document), whether or not resulting from third party claims.

(b) Indemnification by NSC. NSC shall pay, indemnify and reimburse Greif and its Affiliates, officers, directors, executives, employees and agents (the Greif Indemnified Parties) and the Global Alliance Entities (collectively, the Dabbagh Protected Parties and, together with the Greif Protected Parties, the Protected Parties) for any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them (directly or indirectly) as a result of, or with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by NSC or its Affiliates contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (subject, in the case of any Transaction Document other than this Agreement, to (A) any express provision in any such other Transaction Document that this Section 5 (or any part thereof) shall not apply to such other Transaction Document and (B) any limitation on the indemnification rights or obligations of a party contained in any such other Transaction Document), whether or not resulting from third party claims.

(c) Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Transaction Documents shall not be extinguished by the Closing, but shall survive until the second anniversary of the Closing (subject, in the case of any Transaction Document other than this Agreement, to (i) any express provision in any such other Transaction Document that this Section 5 (or any part thereof) shall not apply to such other Transaction Document, and (ii) any limitation on the indemnification rights or obligations of a party contained in any such other Transaction Document). No investigation or other examination by the Protected Parties or their respective representatives shall affect the term of survival of the representations and warranties set forth above. The survival of the representations and warranties for a specified period as provided above shall mean that no Protected Party may bring a claim for breach of any such representation or warranty after such period. It is understood that, except as expressly provided herein, all representations and warranties contained herein shall be of no further force or effect after the termination of this Agreement.

28

(d) Threshold. No party shall make any claim for indemnification under this Section 5 in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3 of this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document (subject, in the case of any Transaction Document other than this Agreement, to (A) any express provision in any such other Transaction Document that this Section 5 (or any part thereof) shall not apply to such other Transaction Document, and (B) any limitation on the indemnification rights or obligations of a party contained in any such other Transaction Document), unless and until the aggregate Loss or Losses arising out of or resulting from all such breaches by a party, as the case may be, exceeds five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) in which event indemnification for the total amount of such Losses may be claimed, including such threshold amount. The limitations set forth in this Section 5 shall not preclude a party from making a claim for indemnification under this Section 5 (or affect the amount of such claim) that does not relate to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3, regardless of whether a claim for indemnification for such breach could also be made.

5.2 Indemnification for Post-Closing Matters

Each Global Alliance Entity shall be primarily obligated for all Losses suffered or incurred by it, which are attributable to events or occurrences that take place after the Closing Date, with respect to the assets, properties, rights, business and obligations of such Global Alliance Entity, except for Losses for which indemnification by a party is otherwise provided for in this Section 5 or Liabilities not assumed by such Global Alliance Entity pursuant hereto. The Global Alliance Entities shall pay, indemnify and reimburse each of the other Protected Parties for any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them (directly or indirectly through a Global Alliance Entity or otherwise) that are attributable to events or occurrences that take place after the Closing Date, with respect to the assets, properties, rights, business and obligations of any Global Alliance Entity, except for Losses for which indemnification by a party is otherwise provided for in this Section 5 or Liabilities not assumed by any Global Alliance Entity pursuant hereto.

5.3 Notice

If a party wishes to make a claim hereunder on behalf of itself or any Protected Party, it shall promptly notify the Person that may be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 (the Indemnifying Parties), in writing, of any claim thereunder, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss suffered by the Protected Parties, and, if known, the amount, or an estimate of the amount, of the Loss arising therefrom, provided that a failure of a party to give the Indemnifying Parties prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any of their obligations hereunder, except to the extent both any of the Indemnifying Parties are prejudiced by such failure and none of the Indemnifying Parties control the Protected Party or Parties that has suffered the Loss. A party that makes a claim shall provide to the Indemnifying Parties as promptly as practicable thereafter information and documentation reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Parties to support and verify the claim asserted, unless the party that makes a claim has been advised by counsel that it is reasonably likely that a loss of privilege will occur with respect to such information and documentation in which event the parties shall enter into an appropriate joint defense agreement.

29

5.4 Defense of Third-Party Claims

If a party has made a claim under this Section 5 with respect to a Loss suffered by a Protected Party that arises out of the claim of any third party, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel or accountants, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense; provided that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming control of such defense, it shall first verify to the Protected Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party shall be fully responsible (with no reservation of rights) for all Liabilities and obligations relating to such claim for indemnification and that it shall provide full indemnification (whether or not otherwise required hereunder) to the Protected Party with respect to such Proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification hereunder. The Protected Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate therein, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Protected Party shall be at its expense, unless counsel for the Protected Party shall have advised that it is reasonably likely that any Protected Party may raise a defense or claim that is inconsistent with any defense or claim available to an Indemnifying Party, in which case such reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim effected without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a claim within thirty (30) days of notice thereof, the Protected Party may settle such claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to a settlement of or settle any claim that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages or that could have a Material Adverse Effect on any Protected Party and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (if applicable) without the prior written consent of such Protected Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to so defend such claim, each party shall cooperate in the defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery Proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith except to the extent that a party has been advised by counsel that it is reasonably likely that a loss of privilege will occur with respect to such information, documentation and testimony (in which event the parties shall enter into an appropriate joint defense agreement). The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the Protected Party in respect of a Loss suffered by the Protected Party, but only to the extent the Indemnifying Party has discharged in full any obligations they may have with respect to such Loss pursuant to this Section 5.

5.5 Indemnification Payments

It is the intention of each party that the indemnifying Person shall be obligated to make payments in respect of their indemnification obligations hereunder directly to the Protected Parties of such indemnifying Person. Each party may agree in writing from time to time to modify any payment arrangements related to Protected Parties hereunder without the consent of any Protected Party other than a party. Nothing in this Section 5 is intended to confer any rights upon any Person other than a party and their respective successors and assigns.

7.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction

(a) This Agreement, any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (and any Disputes arising out of or related hereto or to the Transactions or to the inducement of any party to enter herein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise), shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, in each case without reference to any conflict of law rules that might lead to the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a Dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) and each of Greif Parent, Greif, Xxxxxxx Parent and NSC hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts, for the purposes of any Proceeding, including for the enforcement of any resolution, relief or award in connection with Section 6 of this Agreement.

(e) Each of Greif (on behalf of Greif and its Affiliates) and NSC (on behalf of NSC and its Affiliates) irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any Proceeding arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated herein or therein and for any counterclaim therein (in each case whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise). Each of Greif (on behalf of Greif and its Affiliates) and NSC (on behalf of NSC and its Affiliates) (1) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of a Proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (2) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into this agreement by, amongst other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this clause.

36

7.6 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be binding as of the date first written above, and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each such copy shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

7.7 Entire Agreement

The provisions of this Agreement set forth the entire agreement and understanding among each of Greif, NSC, Greif Parent and Dabbagh Parent as to the formation of the Global Alliance and supersede all prior agreements, oral or written, and all other prior communications between Greif, NSC, Greif Parent and Dabbagh Parent relating to the formation of such Global Alliance, other than the other Transaction Documents.

7.11 Construction

This Agreement has been negotiated by Greif, NSC, Greif Parent and Dabbagh Parent and their respective counsel and shall be fairly interpreted in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against any of Greif, NSC, Greif Parent and Dabbagh Parent.

7.12 Interpretation and Construction of this Agreement

The definitions in Annex 1 shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Unless the context shall require otherwise, the word “or” shall be inclusive and not exclusive. All references herein to Articles, Sections, Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed to be references to Articles and Sections of, and Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. The table of contents and the headings of the Articles and Sections are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
