Exhibit 10.1

TIME SHARING AGREEMENT

AMENDED AND RESTATED

AS OF MAY 31, 2012

This amended and restated Time Sharing Agreement (the “Agreement”), is made and
entered into this 31st day of May, 2012, by and between International Paper
Company, a New York corporation (“Operator” or the “Company”), and
John V. Faraci, chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, with a
primary residence in Memphis, Tennessee (“User”).

The Company and the User entered into a Time Sharing Agreement effective
December 16, 2010, which was amended as of May 16, 2011 and is hereby amended as
of May 31, 2012, for the limited purpose of adding an aircraft recently
purchased by Operator to Schedule A hereto. All other provisions remain in
effect.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Operator owns and operates the aircraft (collectively, the “Aircraft”)
listed on Schedule A hereto for business use by employees and non-employee
directors of the Company in accordance with Part 91of the Federal Aviation
Regulations and the Company’s policy regarding the use of corporate aircraft
(the “Aircraft Policy”); and

WHEREAS, Operator has the right and lawful authority to enter into time sharing
agreements, as provided in §91.501 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”)
to provide its senior executives with personal travel consistent with the
Company’s Aircraft Policy; and

WHEREAS, Operator has agreed to make the Aircraft, with flight crew, when the
Aircraft and flight crew are not otherwise needed for business purposes,
available to User for User’s personal travel in accordance with the Aircraft
Policy on a non-exclusive time-sharing basis in accordance with §91.501 of the
FARs; and

WHEREAS, the User agrees to reimburse the Operator for all personal use of the
Aircraft as permitted under the FARs and as pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, which sets forth the understanding of the parties.

NOW THEREFORE, Operator and User declaring their intention to enter into and be
bound by this Agreement, and for the good and valuable consideration set forth
below, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Provision of Aircraft and Crew. Subject to Aircraft availability, Operator
agrees to provide to User the Aircraft and flight crew on a time sharing basis
in accordance with the provisions of FAR Part 91, including §§ 91.501(b)(6),
91.501(c)(1) and 91.501(d) of the FARs. Operator shall provide, at its sole
expense, qualified flight crew for all flight operations under this Agreement.
If Operator is no longer the operator of any of the Aircraft, Schedule A shall
be deemed amended to delete any reference to such Aircraft and this Agreement
shall be terminated as to such Aircraft but shall remain in full force and
effect with respect to each of the other Aircraft identified thereon, if any. No
such termination shall affect any of the rights and obligations of the parties
accrued or incurred prior to such termination. If Operator becomes the operator
of any aircraft not listed on Schedule A hereto, Schedule A shall be modified to
include such aircraft as an Aircraft covered by this Agreement, and thereafter
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such
Aircraft and each of the other Aircraft identified thereon, if any.

2. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the date
hereof and shall continue until terminated by either party on written notice to
the other party, such termination to become effective 30 days from the date of
the notice, provided that this Agreement may be terminated by Operator on such
shorter notice as may be required for Operator to comply with applicable law,
regulations, the requirements of any financial institution with a security or
other interest in the Aircraft, insurance requirements, or in the event the
insurance required hereunder is not in full force and effect. This Agreement
shall terminate immediately in the event that User is no longer the Chief
Executive Officer of International Paper Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any provisions directly or indirectly related to User’s payment obligations for
flights completed prior to the date of termination and the limitation of
liability provisions in Section 10 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Reimbursement of Expenses. For each Trip or Round Trip (as such terms are
defined below) conducted under this Agreement, User shall pay Operator an amount
(as determined by Operator) equal to the actual expenses of operating such Trip
(to include non-occupied legs, or “dead-head” flights, needed by Operator to
position the aircraft for business use), not to exceed the sum of the following
expenses as permitted pursuant to FAR 91.501(d):

 

  (a) Fuel, oil, lubricants, and other additives;

 

  (b) Travel expenses of the crew, including food, lodging, and ground
transportation;

 

  (c) Hangar and tie-down costs away from the Aircraft’s base of operation;

 

  (d) Insurance obtained for the specific flight as per Section 8.(b);

 

  (e) Landing fees, airport taxes, and similar assessments;

 

  (f) Customs, foreign permit, and similar fees directly related to the flight;

 

  (g) In-flight food and beverages;

 

  (h) Passenger ground transportation;

 

  (i) Flight planning and weather contract services; and

 

  (j) An additional charge equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the expenses
listed in subsection (a) above.

The term “Trip” shall mean a flight from a departure point to a single
destination. A “Round Trip” shall mean a flight from a departure point to one
destination and back to the same departure point. In the event that User travels
from a departure point to multiple destinations, the Operator will provide a
separate invoice for each Trip. All costs of repositioning an aircraft to
accommodate a Trip shall be included on the invoice related to such Trip.

4. Invoicing and Payment. All payments to be made to Operator by User hereunder
shall be paid in the manner set forth in this Section 4. Operator will pay, or
cause to be paid, all expenses related to the operation of the Aircraft
hereunder in the ordinary course. Within 30 days of the end of each Trip or
Round Trip, Operator shall provide or cause to be provided to User an invoice
showing all personal use of the Aircraft by User pursuant to this Agreement
during that Trip or Round Trip and a complete accounting detailing all amounts
that are payable by User pursuant to Section 3 for that Trip or Round Trip (plus
applicable domestic or international air transportation excise taxes, and any
other fees, taxes or charges assessed on passengers by and remitted to a
government agency or airport authority). User shall pay all amounts due under
the invoice in a manner reasonably acceptable to Operator not later than 30 days
after receipt thereof. In the event Operator has not received all supplier
invoices for reimbursable charges relating to such Trip or Round Trip prior to
such invoicing, Operator shall issue a supplemental invoice(s) for such
charge(s) to User, and User shall pay each supplemental invoice within 30 days
after receipt thereof.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Flight Requests. User shall provide the Operator’s Aviation Department with
Trip requests for User’s personal travel to be undertaken pursuant to this
Agreement and proposed flight schedules as far in advance of User’s desired
departure as possible, and at least 24 hours prior to User’s planned departure
or as may be required by law. The advance notice requirement in this Section 5
may be waived by Operator in its discretion. All flight requests for travel
under this Agreement shall be in accordance with all reasonable policies
established by Operator. Flight requests shall be in writing on a form that is
provided by the Operator to the User. Operator shall have sole and exclusive
authority over the scheduling of the Aircraft. Operator shall not be liable to
User or any other person for loss, injury, or damage occasioned by the delay or
failure to furnish the Aircraft and crew pursuant to this Agreement for any
reason. In addition to requested schedules and departure times, User shall
provide at least the following information for each proposed flight reasonably
in advance of the desired departure time as required by Operator or its flight
crew:

(a) departure point;

(b) destination;

(c) date and time of flight;

(d) number and identity of anticipated passengers;

(e) nature and extent of luggage and/or cargo expected to be carried;

(f) date and time of return flight, if any; and

(g) any other information concerning the proposed flight that may be pertinent
to or required by Operator, its flight crew, or governmental entities.

6. Operational Authority and Control.

(a) Operator shall be responsible for the physical and technical operation of
the Aircraft and the safe performance of all flights under this Agreement, and
shall retain full authority and control, including exclusive operational control
and exclusive possession, command and control of the Aircraft for all flights
under this Agreement.

(b) Operator shall furnish at its expense a fully qualified flight crew with
appropriate credentials to conduct each flight undertaken under this Agreement
and included on the insurance policies that Operator is required to maintain
hereunder. In accordance with applicable FARs, the qualified flight crew
provided by Operator will exercise all required and/or appropriate duties and
responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder. The
pilot-in-command shall have absolute discretion in all matters concerning the
preparation of the Aircraft for flight and the flight itself, the load carried
and its distribution, the decision whether or not a flight shall be undertaken,
the route to be flown, the place where landings shall be made, and all other
matters relating to operation of the Aircraft. User specifically agrees that the
flight crew shall have final and complete authority to delay or cancel any
flight for any reason or condition that in the sole judgment of the
pilot-in-command could compromise the safety of the flight, and to take any
other action that in the sole judgment of the pilot-in-command is necessitated
by considerations of safety. No such action of the pilot-in-command shall create
or support any liability to User or any other person for loss, injury, damage or
delay. Operator’s operation of the Aircraft hereunder shall be strictly within
the guidelines and policies established by Operator and FAR Part 91.

(c) Subject to Aircraft and crew availability, Operator shall use its good faith
efforts, consistent with its approved policies, to accommodate User’s needs and
avoid conflicts in scheduling. Although every good faith effort shall be made to
avoid its occurrence, any flights scheduled under this Agreement are subject to
cancellation by either party without incurring liability to the other party. In
the event of a cancellation, the canceling party shall provide the maximum
notice reasonably practicable.

(d) In the absence of another flight scheduled on the aircraft by User or
another scheduled business trip, the aircraft may remain at the destination
until its next required use. If the next use of the aircraft is a business use,
the Operator shall not charge the User for expenses associated with Hangar and
tie-down costs away from the Aircraft’s base of operation; if, however, the next
use of the Aircraft is by User (personal), the Operator shall have the option of
returning the aircraft to its base of operations or permitting it to remain at
the destination. In either event, the User shall pay for the associated costs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Aircraft Maintenance. Operator shall, at its own expense, cause the Aircraft
to be inspected, maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled, and tested in
accordance with FAR Part 91 so that the Aircraft will remain in good operating
condition and in a condition consistent with its airworthiness certification and
shall take such requirements into account in scheduling the Aircraft hereunder,
including but not limited compliance with applicable airworthiness directives
and service bulletins. Performance of maintenance, preventive maintenance or
inspection shall not be delayed or postponed for the purpose of scheduling the
Aircraft unless such maintenance or inspection can safely be conducted at a
later time in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and requirements, and
such delay or postponement is consistent with the sound discretion of the
pilot-in-command. In the event that any non-standard maintenance is required
during the term and will interfere with User’s requested or scheduled flights,
Operator, or Operator’s pilot-in-command, shall notify User of the maintenance
required, the effect on the ability to comply with User’s requested or scheduled
flights and the manner in which the parties will proceed with the performance of
such maintenance and conduct of such flight(s). In no event shall Operator be
liable to User or any other person for loss, injury or damage occasioned by the
delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft under this Agreement, whether or not
maintenance-related.

8. Insurance.

(a) Operator, at its expense, will maintain or cause to be maintained in full
force and effect throughout the Term of this Agreement an aviation liability and
hull insurance policy including: aviation liability insurance against bodily
injury and property damage claims arising out of the use of the Aircraft in an
amount not less than $200 Million for each occurrence; and hull insurance for
the Aircraft in amounts determined by Operator at its sole discretion. The
aviation liability coverage shall include User as an insured, and include a
severability of interest provision providing that the insurance shall apply
separately to each insured against whom a claim is made, except as respects the
limits of liability. The aviation liability and hull insurance coverage shall
include provisions whereby the insurer(s) waive all rights of subrogation they
may have or acquire against User and shall permit the use of the Aircraft by
Operator for compensation or hire as provided in §91.501 of the FARs.

(b) Operator shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide such additional
insurance for specific flights under this Agreement as User may reasonably
request. User acknowledges that any trips scheduled to areas not currently
covered by existing policies may require Operator to purchase additional
insurance to comply with applicable regulations, and Operator shall be required
to maintain or cause to be maintained such additional insurance. The cost of all
flight-specific insurance shall be borne by User as provided in Section 3(d).

9. Use of Aircraft. User warrants that:

(a) He has all necessary powers to enter into the transactions contemplated in
this Agreement and has taken actions required to authorize and approve this
Agreement;

(b) He will use the Aircraft under this Agreement for and only for his own
account, including the carriage of his guests, and will not use the Aircraft for
the purpose of providing transportation of passengers or cargo for compensation
or hire or for common carriage;

(c) He will not permit as guests on the Aircraft any appointed or elected
government official, or any candidates for any such offices.

(d) He will not permit any lien, security interest or other charge or
encumbrance to attach against the Aircraft as a result of his actions or
inactions, and shall not attempt to convey, mortgage, assign, lease or in any
way alienate the Aircraft or Operator’s rights hereunder or create any kind of
lien or security interest involving the Aircraft or do anything or take any
action that might mature into such a lien;

(e) During the Term of this Agreement, he will abide by and conform to all such
laws, governmental and airport orders, rules, and regulations as shall from time
to time be in effect relating in any way to the operation or use of the Aircraft
by the lessee under a time sharing arrangement and all applicable policies of
Operator; and

(f) User acknowledges that his discretion in determining the origin and
destination of flights under this Agreement shall be subject to the following:
(i) such origin and destination, and the routes to reach such origin and
destination, are not within or over (A) an area of hostilities, (B) an area
excluded from coverage under the insurance policies maintained by Operator with
respect to the Aircraft, or (C) a country or jurisdiction for which exports or
transactions are subject to specific restrictions under any United States export
or other law or United Nations Security Council Directive, including without
limitation, the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. Section 1 et seq.,
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. App. Section 1700 et
seq., and the Export Administration Act, 50 U.S.C. App. Sections 2401 et seq.
