         Company, Fort James and Fort James Operating Co. agree to file under
         the Securities Act, as soon as practicable, but no later than 90 days
         after the Closing Date, a registration statement relating to an offer
         to exchange (such registration statement, the "Exchange Registration

         Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities
         issued by the Company and guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Fort
         James and Fort James Operating Co., which debt securities and

         Securities"). The Company, Fort James and Fort James Operating Co.
         agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause

                                       4
<PG$PCN,710020500>

         the Exchange Registration Statement to become effective under the
         Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no later than 180 days after
         the Closing Date. The Exchange Offer will be registered under the
         Securities Act on the appropriate form and will comply with all
         applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act.
         The Company, Fort James and Fort James Operating Co. further agree to
         use their reasonable best efforts to commence and complete the Exchange
         Offer promptly, but no later than 30 business days (or such longer
         period as may be required by federal securities law) after the
         Effective Time of such Exchange Registration Statement, hold the
         Exchange Offer open for at least 30 days and exchange Exchange
         Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly
         tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of the
         Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been
         "completed" only if the Exchange Securities and the related guarantees
         received by Holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer
         for Registrable Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such
         Holder without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange
         Act and without material restrictions under the blue sky or securities
         laws of a substantial majority of the States of the United States of
         America. The Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon
         the earlier to occur of (i) the Company having exchanged the Exchange
         Securities for all outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to the
         Exchange Offer and (ii) the Company having exchanged, pursuant to the
         Exchange Offer, Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that
         have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of
         the Exchange Offer, which shall be on a date that is not less than 30
         days following the commencement of the Exchange Offer. The Company,
         Fort James and Fort James Operating Co. agree (x) to include in the
         Exchange Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by
         any Holder of Exchange Securities that is a Broker dealer and (y) to
         keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for a period (the
         "Resale Period") beginning at the Effective Time of such Exchange
         Registration Statement and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of
         the 180th day after the Exchange Offer has been completed or such time
         as such Broker-dealers no longer own any Registrable Securities. With
         respect to such Exchange Registration Statement, such Holders shall
         have the benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution set
         forth in Sections 6(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.

                  (b)      If (i) the Company, Fort James and Fort James
         Operating Co. are not required to file the Exchange Registration
         Statement, (ii) the Company, Fort James and Fort James Operating Co.
         are not permitted to consummate the Exchange Offer because it is not
         permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, or (iii) any Holder
         of Registrable Securities provides written notice to the Company at any
         time prior to the 20th day following the consummation of the Exchange
         Offer that (A) such Holder is prohibited under applicable law or under
         the rules, regulations or policies of the Commission from participating
         in the Exchange Offer, (B) it may not resell Exchange Securities
         acquired by such Holder in the Exchange Offer without delivering a
         prospectus and the prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration
         Statement is not appropriate or available for such resale, or (C) it is
         a Broker-dealer and it holds securities acquired directly from the
         Company or an affiliate of the Company, the Company, Fort James and
         Fort James Operating Co. shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clause
         (iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by
         Section 2(a) hereof, file under the Securities Act as soon as
         practicable, but no later than 60 days after the time such obligation
         to file arises, a "shelf" registration statement under the Securities
         Act providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or
         delayed basis by the Holders of, all of the Registrable Securities,
         pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that

                                       5
<PG$PCN,710020600>

         may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the "Shelf Registration"
         and such registration statement, the "Shelf Registration Statement").
         The Company, Fort James and Fort James Operating Co. agree to use their
         reasonable best efforts (x) to cause the Shelf Registration Statement
         to become or be declared effective no later than 150 days after the
         obligation to file such Shelf Registration Statement arises and,
         subject to Section 2(f) hereof, to keep such Shelf Registration
         Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the earlier of
         the second anniversary of the Effective Time or such time as any
         Registrable Securities registered under the Shelf Registration
         Statement cease to be Registrable Securities as defined in this
         Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, provided, however, that no
         Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the
         Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part
         thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such Holder is an
         Electing Holder, and (y) after the Effective Time of the Shelf
         Registration Statement, promptly upon the request of any Holder of
         Registrable Securities registered under the Shelf Registration
         Statement that is not then an Electing Holder, to take any action
         reasonably necessary to enable such Holder to use the prospectus
         forming a part of the Shelf Registration Statement for resales of
         Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, any action
         necessary to identify such Holder as a selling securityholder in the
         Shelf Registration Statement, provided, however, that nothing in this
         clause (y) shall relieve any such Holder of the obligation to return a
         completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in
         accordance with Section 3(d)(iii) hereof. Subject to Section 2(f)
         hereof, the Company, Fort James and Fort James Operating Co. further
         agree to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration
         Statement, as and when required by the rules, regulations or
         instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company
         for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or rules
         and regulations thereunder for shelf registration, and the Company
         agrees to furnish to each Electing Holder copies of any such supplement
         or amendment prior to its being used or promptly following its filing
         with the Commission.

                  (c)      In the event that (i) the Company, Fort James and
         Fort James Operating Co. have not filed the Exchange Registration
         Statement or Shelf Registration Statement on or before the date on
         which such registration statement is required to be filed pursuant to
         Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, respectively, or (ii) such Exchange
         Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement has not become
         effective or been declared effective by the Commission on or before the
         date on which such registration statement is required to become or be
         declared effective pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof,
         respectively, or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within
         30 business days after the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration
         Statement relating to the Exchange Offer (if the Exchange Offer is then
         required to be made) or (iv) any Exchange Registration Statement or
         Shelf Registration Statement required by Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof is
         filed and declared effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn
         by the Company or shall become subject to an effective stop order
         issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the
         effectiveness of such registration statement (except as specifically
         permitted herein) without being succeeded immediately by an additional
         registration statement filed and declared effective (each such event
         referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a "Registration Default" and
         each period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is
         continuing, a "Registration Default Period"), then, as liquidated
         damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of
         Section 9(b) hereof, special interest ("Special Interest"), in addition
         to the Base Interest, shall accrue at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the
         first 90 days of the Registration Default

         Period, at a per annum rate of 0.50% for the second 90 days of the
         Registration Default Period, at a per annum rate of 0.75% for the third
         90 days of the Registration Default Period and at a per annum rate of
         1.0% thereafter for the remaining portion of the Registration Default
         Period.

                  (d)      The Company shall take, and shall cause Fort James
         and Fort James Operating Co. to take, all actions necessary to ensure
         that the transactions contemplated herein are effected as so
         contemplated, including all actions necessary to register the
         Guarantees under the registration statement contemplated in Section
         2(a) or 2(b) hereof, as applicable.

         of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or
         deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any

         statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document
         incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of
         such time.

                  (f)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Exchange
         and Registration Rights Agreement (but subject to the further
         provisions of this Section 2(f)), the Company may for valid business
         reasons, including, without limitation, a potential acquisition,
         divestiture of assets or other material corporate event or transaction,
         issue a notice to Holders of Registrable Securities registered under
         any Shelf Registration Statement that such Shelf Registration Statement
         is no longer effective or that the prospectus included therein is no
         longer usable for offers and sales of Registrable Securities covered by
         the Shelf Registration Statement and may issue any notice suspending
         use of the Shelf Registration Statement required under applicable law
         to be issued; provided that the use of the Shelf Registration Statement
         shall not be suspended for more than 45 days in the aggregate in any
         consecutive 12-month period.

         3.       Registration Procedures.

         Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case

         Indenture Act.

                  (b)      In the event that such qualification would require
         the appointment of a new trustee under either of the Indentures, the
         Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the
         applicable provisions of that Indenture.

                  (c)      In connection with the Company's, Fort James' and

                  later than 90 days after the Closing Date, an Exchange
                  Registration Statement on any form which may be utilized by

         placement or sales agent, if any, and to each such underwriter, if any,
         a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended
         so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of Registrable
         Securities, such prospectus shall conform in all material respects to
         the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust
         Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
         thereunder and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
         or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
         circumstances then existing. Each Electing Holder agrees that upon
         receipt of any notice from the Company pursuant to Section
         3(d)(viii)(B) or (F) hereof, such Electing Holder shall forthwith
         discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
         Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable Securities
         until such Electing Holder shall have received copies of such amended
         or supplemented prospectus, and if so directed by the Company, such
         Electing Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense)
         all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Electing
         Holder's possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable
         Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

                  (f)      In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to
         the information required to be provided by each Electing Holder in its
         Notice and Questionnaire, the Company may require such Electing Holder
         to furnish to the Company such additional information regarding such
         Electing Holder and such Electing Holder's intended method of
         distribution of Registrable Securities as may be required in order to
         comply with the Securities Act. Each such Electing Holder agrees to
         notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or
         change in information previously furnished by such Electing Holder to
         the Company or of the occurrence of any event in either case as a
         result of which any prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration
         contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact
         regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder's intended
         method of disposition of such Registrable Securities or omits to state
         any material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing
         Holder's intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities
         required to be stated

                                       16
<PG$PCN,710021700>

         therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
         light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to
         the Company any additional information required to correct and update
         any previously furnished information or required so that such
         prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Electing Holder or
         the disposition of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of
         a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
         therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
         light of the circumstances then existing.

                  (g)      Until the expiration of two years after the Closing
         Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its "affiliates"
         (as defined in Rule 144) to, resell any of the Securities that have
         been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to an effective
         registration statement under the Securities Act.

         4.       Registration Expenses.

Registration Expenses so incurred, assumed or paid promptly after receipt of a

Registrable Securities and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other
advisors or experts retained by such Holders (severally or jointly), other than

         5.       Representations and Warranties.

         Each of the Company, Fort James and Fort James Operating Co. represents
and warrants to, and agrees with, each Purchaser and each of the Holders from
time to time of Registrable Securities that:

                  (a)      Each registration statement covering Registrable
         Securities and each prospectus (including any preliminary or summary
         prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(d) or
         Section 3(c) hereof and any further amendments or supplements to any
         such registration statement or prospectus, when it becomes effective or
         is filed with the Commission, as the case may be, and, in the case of
         an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, at the time of the
         closing under the underwriting agreement relating thereto, will conform
         in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and
         the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
         thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
         or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and at all
         times subsequent to the Effective Time when a prospectus would be
         required to be delivered under the Securities Act, other than from (i)
         such time as a notice has been given to Holders of Registrable
         Securities pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(F) or Section 3(c)(iii)(F)
         hereof until (ii) such time as the Company furnishes an amended or
         supplemented prospectus pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 3(c)(iv)
         hereof, each such registration statement, and each prospectus
         (including any summary prospectus) contained therein or furnished
         pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section 3(c) hereof, as then amended or
         supplemented, will conform in all material respects to the requirements
         of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and
         regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain an untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
         to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; provided,
         however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any
         statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with
         information furnished in writing to the Company by a Holder of
         Registrable Securities expressly for use therein.

                  (b)      Any documents incorporated by reference in any
         prospectus referred to in Section 5(a) hereof, when they become or
         became effective or are or were filed with the Commission, as the case
         may be, will conform or conformed in all material respects to the
         requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable,
         and none of such documents will contain or contained an untrue
         statement of a material fact or will omit or omitted to state a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that this
         representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or
         omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
         furnished in writing to the Company by a Holder of Registrable
         Securities expressly for use therein.

                                       18
<PG$PCN,710021900>

                  (c)      The compliance by the Company with all of the
         provisions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement and the
         consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not (i)
         conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions
         of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
         trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the
         Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a party or by which the
         Company or any subsidiary of the Company is bound or to which any of
         the property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company
         is subject, or (ii) result in any violation of (A) the provisions of
         the articles of incorporation, as amended, or the by laws of the
         Company, Fort James or Fort James Operating Co. or (B) any statute or
         any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or
         body having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary of the
         Company or any of their properties, except with respect to clauses (i)
         and (ii)(B), for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults which
         have been consented to or waived or which would not otherwise have a
         Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); no
         consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification
         of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required
         for the consummation by the Company, Fort James or Fort James Operating
         Co. of the transactions contemplated by this Exchange and Registration
         Rights Agreement, except the registration under the Securities Act of
         the Securities, qualification of the Indentures under the Trust
         Indenture Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations,
         registrations or qualifications as may be required under State
         securities or blue sky laws in connection with the offering and
         distribution of the Securities.

                  (d)      This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement has
         been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, Fort James
         and Fort James Operating Co..

         6.       Indemnification.

                  (a)      Indemnification by the Company, Fort James and Fort
         James Operating Co. Each of the Company, Fort James and Fort James
         Operating Co., jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless
         each of the Holders of Registrable Securities included in an Exchange
         Registration Statement, each of the Electing Holders of Registrable
         Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement and each Person
         who participates as a placement or sales agent or as an underwriter in
         any offering or sale of such Registrable Securities against any losses,
         claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder,
         agent or underwriter may become subject under the Securities Act or
         otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
         actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue
         statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
         any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as
         the case may be, under which such Registrable Securities were
         registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or
         summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any
         such Holder, Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment or
         supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
         alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
         therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
         will reimburse such Holder, such Electing Holder, such agent and such
         underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
         in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim
         as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that none of the
         Company, Fort James or Fort James Operating Co. shall be liable to any
         such Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
         damage or

                                       19
<PG$PCN,710022000>

         liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
         untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such
         registration statement, or preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or
         amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity
         with written information furnished to the Company by such Person
         expressly for use therein.

                  (b)      Indemnification by the Holders and any Agents and
         Underwriters. The Company may require, as a condition to including any
         Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to
         Section 2(b) hereof and to entering into any underwriting agreement
         with respect thereto, that the Company shall have received an
         undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the Electing Holder of
         such Registrable Securities and from each underwriter named in any such
         underwriting agreement, severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and
         hold harmless the Company, Fort James, Fort James Operating Co. and all
         other Holders of Registrable Securities, against any losses, claims,
         damages or liabilities to which the Company, Fort James, Fort James
         Operating Co. or such other Holders of Registrable Securities may
         become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
         losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
         arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
         statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration
         Statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained
         therein or furnished by the Company to any such Electing Holder, agent
         or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of
         or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only
         to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
         or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in
         conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
         Electing Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein, and (ii)
         reimburse the Company, Fort James and Fort James Operating Co. for any
         legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, Fort James
         and Fort James Operating Co. in connection with investigating or
         defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred;
         provided, however, that no such Electing Holder shall be required to
         undertake liability to any Person under this Section 6(b) for any
         amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received
         by such Electing Holder from the sale of such Electing Holder's
         Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration.

                  (c)      Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an
         indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice
         of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
         claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party
         pursuant to the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this
         Section 6, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the
         commencement of such action; but the omission so to notify the
         indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
         have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification
         provisions of or contemplated by Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof. In case
         any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it
         shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such
         indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the
         extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party
         similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
         reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not,
         except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the
         indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to
         such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense
         thereof, such

                                       20
<PG$PCN,710022100>

         indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for
         any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
         subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the
         defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No
         indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the
         indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent
         to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened
         action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may
         be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual
         or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement,
         compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the
         indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or
         claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
         fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
         indemnified party.

                  (d)      Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification
         provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof are
         unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in
         respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
         respect thereof) referred to in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof, then
         each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
         by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages
         or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
         appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
         the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions
         which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
         actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable
         considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and
         indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other
         things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
         fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
         to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such
         indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access
         to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
         omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
         equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were
         determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders or any agents or
         underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such
         purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take
         account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section
         6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of
         the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect
         thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or
         other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
         connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
         Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Holder shall be
         required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
         dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of
         any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and
         commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which
         such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue
         or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no
         underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
         amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities
         underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
         public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has
         otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
         untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of
         fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
         the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
         who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders'
         and any underwriters' obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute
         shall be several in proportion

                                       21
<PG$PCN,710022200>

         to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered or
         underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint.

                  (e)      The obligations of the Company, Fort James and Fort
         James Operating Co. under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any
         liability which the Company, Fort James or Fort James Operating Co. may
         otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to
         each officer, director and partner of each Holder, agent and
         underwriter and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder, agent or
         underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the
         obligations of the Holders and any agents or underwriters contemplated
         by this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the
         respective Holder, agent or underwriter may otherwise have and shall
         extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and
         director of the Company, Fort James or Fort James Operating Co.
         (including any Person who, with his consent, is named in any
         registration statement as about to become a director of the Company,
         Fort James or Fort James Operating Co.) and to each Person, if any, who
         controls the Company, Fort James or Fort James Operating Co. within the
         meaning of the Securities Act.

         7.       Underwritten Offerings.

                  (a)      Selection of Underwriters. If any of the Registrable
         Securities covered by the Shelf Registration are to be sold pursuant to
         an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter or underwriters
         thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at least a
         majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to
         be included in such offering, provided that such designated managing
         underwriter or underwriters is or are reasonably acceptable to the
         Company.

                  (b)      Participation by Holders. Each Holder of Registrable
         Securities hereby agrees with each other such Holder that no such
         Holder may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless
         such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder's Registrable Securities on
         the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
         Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii)
         completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
         indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
         required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

         8.       Rule 144.

         The Company covenants to the Holders of Registrable Securities that to
the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company
shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act
or the Securities Act (including the reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the
Commission under the Securities Act) and the rules and regulations adopted by
the Commission thereunder, and shall take such further action as any Holder of
Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from
time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption
provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from
time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted
by the Commission. Upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities in connection with that Holder's sale pursuant to Rule 144, the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.

         9.       Miscellaneous.

                  (a)      No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents,
         warrants, covenants and agrees that it has not granted, and shall not
         grant, registration rights with respect to Registrable Securities or
         any other securities which would be inconsistent with the terms
         contained in this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement.

                  (b)      Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge
         that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to
         perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and
         the Holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities may be
         irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the
         Purchasers and such Holders, in addition to any other remedy to which
         they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel
         specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this
         Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the terms
         and conditions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, in
         any court of the United States or any State thereof having
         jurisdiction.

                  (c)      Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands,
         waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
         shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, if
         delivered personally or by courier, or three days after being deposited
         in the mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
         receipt requested) as follows: If to the Company, to it at 133
         Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30303, Attention: Corporate
         Secretary, and if to a Holder, to the address of such Holder set forth
         in the security register or other records of the Company, or to such
         other address as the Company or any such Holder may have furnished to
         the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of
         change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

                  (d)      Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of
         this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement shall be binding upon,
         shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties
         hereto and the Holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities
         and the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and
         such Holders. In the event that any transferee of any Holder of
         Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any
         manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or
         otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action
         of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such
         Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of
         this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, and by taking and
         holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall be entitled
         to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed
         to be bound by all of the applicable terms and provisions of this
         Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement. If the Company shall so
         request, any such successor, assign or transferee shall agree in
         writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all
         of the applicable terms hereof.

                  (e)      Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements,
         representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this
         Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement or made pursuant hereto
         shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
         (or statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any
         Holder of Registrable Securities, any director, officer or partner of
         such Holder, any agent or underwriter or any director, officer or
         partner thereof, or any controlling Person of any of the foregoing, and
         shall survive delivery of and payment for the Registrable
