 Exhibit 4.1 
 EXECUTION VERSION

 This FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is dated as of July 31, 2007, and is entered into by and among
Pope & Talbot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”) and Pope & Talbot Ltd., a Canadian corporation (the “Borrower”), Wells Fargo Financial Corporation Canada, a Nova
Scotia unlimited liability company, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”), Ableco Finance LLC, as collateral agent (in such capacity,
together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”), Ableco Finance LLC, as term loan B agent (in such capacity, together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Term Loan B
Agent,” and collectively with the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, each, an “Agent,” and collectively, the “Agents”), and the several lenders and other financial institutions
or entities from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement (each, a “Lender,” and collectively, the “Lenders”), and the other Loan Parties described on the execution pages of this Forbearance
Agreement. 
 RECITALS: 
 A. The Parent, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2006 (as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of September 26, 2006, the Second Amendment
thereto dated as of December 31, 2006, the Third Amendment thereto dated as of May 16, 2007, and as further amended, modified, supplemented or amended and restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

 B. As of the date hereof, the Event of Default referred to herein as the “Specified Default” has occurred and is continuing.

 C. Parent and Borrower have requested, and the Agents and Lenders have agreed, to forbear from exercising those rights and remedies under
the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and/or applicable law that have arisen, or may arise in the future, due to the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default resulting solely from the Parent having permitted the Consolidated
EBITDA of the Parent and its Subsidiaries to be less than the applicable amount set forth on Schedule 7.1 to the Credit Agreement for the period ending June 30, 2007 (the “Specified Default”) on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth herein.

covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 FORBEARANCE AND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 2.1 Forbearance; Forbearance Default Rights and
Remedies. 
 (a) Effective as of the Forbearance Effective Date (as defined below), the Agents and Lenders agree that until the expiration
of the “Forbearance Period” (as defined below), they will forbear from exercising their rights and remedies against the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and/or applicable law solely with respect to the
Specified Default (excluding, however, their right to charge interest on any Obligations during the Forbearance Period at the default interest rate specified in the Credit Agreement); provided, however, (i) each of the Loan
Parties shall comply, except to the extent such compliance is expressly excused by the terms of this Agreement, with all explicit restrictions or prohibitions triggered by the existence and/or continuance of any Default or Event of Default under the
Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) nothing herein shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect the Agents’ or the Lenders’ rights and remedies under any agreements containing subordination
provisions in favor of any such party (including, without limitation, any rights or remedies available as a result of the occurrence or continuation of the Specified Default), and (iii) nothing herein shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect
the exercise of the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement. During the Forbearance Period, any condition to the making of an Advance under the Credit Agreement that would not be met solely because of the occurrence and continuance of the
Specified Default is hereby waived. 
 (b) As used herein, the term “Forbearance Period” shall mean the period
beginning on the Forbearance Effective Date (as defined below) and ending upon the occurrence of a Termination Event. As used herein, “Termination Event” shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) the delivery by the
Collateral Agent to the Parent of a written notice terminating the Forbearance Period, which notice may be delivered at any time upon or after the occurrence of any Forbearance Default (as defined below), and (ii) September 17, 2007. As
used herein, the term “Forbearance Default” shall mean: (A) the occurrence of any Event of Default that is not the Specified Default, (B) the failure of any of the Loan Parties to comply with any term, condition,
covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, (C) the failure of any representation or warranty made by any of the Loan Parties under this Agreement to be true and correct as of the date when made, or (D) any occurrence, event or
change in facts or circumstances occurring on or after the Forbearance Effective Date that could have a Material Adverse Effect, or (E) the existence at any time of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans having an aggregate outstanding
principal amount in excess of 

  

 2 








 
$50,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the commencement by or against any of the Loan Parties of any proceeding of the type described in Section 8
(g)(i) or (ii) of the Credit Agreement shall result in the automatic termination of the Forbearance Period. Any Forbearance Default shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. 
 (c) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the agreement of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder to forbear from exercising their rights and
remedies in respect of the Specified Default shall immediately terminate without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which each of the Loan Parties hereby waives. The Loan Parties agree that the Agents
and the Lenders may at any time after the occurrence of a Termination Event proceed to exercise any or all of their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or applicable law, including, without limitation, their
rights and remedies on account of the Specified Default and any other Default or Event of Default that may then exist. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Agents and the Lenders may, upon
such notice or demand as may be specified by the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents or applicable law, (i) collect and/or commence any legal or other action to collect any or all of the Obligations from the Loan Parties,
(ii) foreclose or otherwise realize on any or all of the Collateral, and/or appropriate, setoff or apply to the payment of any or all of the Obligations, any or all of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and (iii) take any other
enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights and remedies provided for by the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents and/or applicable law, all of which rights and remedies are fully reserved by the Lenders. 
 (d) Any agreement by the Agents or the Lenders to extend the Forbearance Period or enter into any other forbearance or similar arrangement must be set
forth in writing and signed by a duly authorized signatory of the Agents and the Lenders. The Loan Parties acknowledge that neither the Agents nor the Lenders have made any assurances whatsoever concerning any possibility of any extension of the
Forbearance Period, any other forbearance or similar arrangement or any other limitations on the exercise of their rights, remedies and privileges under or otherwise in connection with the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and/or applicable
law. 
 (e) The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that any forbearance, waiver, consent or other financial accommodation (including the
funding of any borrowing request under the Revolving Credit Loans) which the Lenders may make on or after the date hereof has been made by the Lenders in reliance upon, and is consideration for, among other things, the general releases and
reaffirmation of indemnities contained in Article 4 hereof and the other covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Loan Parties hereunder. 
 (f) The Loan Parties agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent is entitled to deliver a notice (the “Notice”) to each of the banks and financial institutions with which any Loan Party
maintains a Deposit Account or a lockbox or deposits the proceeds of any Accounts or other Collateral directing such bank or financial institution to send daily to the Administrative Agent or its designated agent by wire transfer (to such account as
the Administrative Agent shall specify, or in such other manner as the Administrative Agent shall 

  

 3 








 
direct) all or a portion of such securities, cash, investments and other items held by such institution in accordance with Section 6(f)(i) of the Pledge
and Security Agreement. The Loan Parties agree to cooperate with the Administrative Agent to ensure that such banks and financial institutions comply with the Notice.

(ii) Base Rate Loans shall be 6.75%. 
 (h) From and after July 1, 2007, all Obligations (except for Bank Product Obligations)
shall bear interest at the rate set forth in section 2.16(c) of the Credit Agreement after giving effect to the change in interest rate with respect to the Term Loans set forth in clause (g) above. 
 (i) During the Forbearance Period, the Loan Parties shall only be entitled to an interest period of one (1) month for Eurodollar Loans.
