                               PLIANT CORPORATION
                        2004 MIP LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

GENERAL

PARTICIPATION

     3.1.   ELIGIBILITY. Associates eligible to participate in the Plan shall
consist of all officers and other key management personnel of the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries that participate in and receive awards pursuant to
applicable Company Management Incentive Plan for which Participant participated
in during the Incentive Period. At any time, including during the Incentive
Period while the Plan is in effect, the Board may add additional individuals or
classes of individuals for or delete individuals or classes of individuals from
participation in the Plan as it deems appropriate.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

     4.1.   ELIGIBILITY AND AMOUNT OF LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARD.

     (a)    To be eligible for payment of any Long Term Incentive Plan Award,
the Participant must satisfy each of the following conditions: (i) be actively
employed by the Company or a Pliant affiliate during the Incentive Period to
which the award pertains, as well as on the date of payment of the award; (ii)
have performed the Participant's duties to the satisfaction of the Board; (iii)
have not engaged in any act deemed by the Board to be inimical to the best
interests of the Company or any affiliate; (iv) otherwise complied with the
applicable employment policies at all times prior to the date the Long Term
Incentive Plan Award is actually paid; and (v) not breached any provision of
this Plan, any Noncompetition Agreement or any Employment Agreement. No Long
Term Incentive Plan Award shall be paid to any Participant who does not satisfy
each of the above conditions.

     (b)    The amount of the Long Term Incentive Plan Award shall be determined
by adding an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of any award earned by any
Participant under each applicable Company Management Incentive Plan as defined
by the Board for which such Participant participated in during the Incentive
Period.

     (c)    In the event that a Participant experiences a job change within the
Company which makes such Participant no longer eligible to participate in the
Plan, such Participant's Long Term Incentive Plan Award earned to the date of
such job change shall be paid to such Participant pursuant to SECTION 4.2. so
long as such Participant has satisfied the conditions of SECTION 4.1 (a).

     4.2    PAYMENT OF AWARD. The Long Term Incentive Plan Award for the
Incentive Period shall be paid to a participant on March 15, 2008, provided,
however, it is the intent of this Plan that in the event of a successful Change
of Control transaction during the Incentive Period, on the closing date of such
Change of Control transaction this Plan shall terminate and the Long Term
Incentive Award amount earned as of such closing date shall be immediately due
and payable.

     (c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Participant
desires, during the restrictive period in this SECTION 6.1, to engage in
activity that Participant believes may be in breach of this SECTION 6.1,
Participant may discuss such activity with the Human Resources manager of the
Company and the Company (i) will provide the Participant with a decision on
whether such activity constitutes a breach of this SECTION 6.1 and (ii) may,
upon the written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the
Board, consent to Participant's participation in such activity.

     6.2    NON-DISCLOSURE. Participant shall not at any time or in any manner,

other party) or disclose to any party other than the Company any trade secrets
or other Confidential Information (as defined below) learned or obtained by him
while an employee, stockholder, officer, director or agent of the Company. As
used herein, the term "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" shall mean information,
material and trade secrets proprietary to the Company or to any entity related
or affiliated with the Company or designated as confidential by the Company,
whether or not owned or developed by the Company, which Participant may obtain
knowledge of or access to, through or as a result of the services provided to
the Company or to any related or affiliated entity (including information
conceived, originated, discovered or developed in whole or in part by
Participant). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Confidential
Information shall include, but is not limited to, the following types of
information and other information of a similar nature (whether or not reduced to
writing or still in development): data, documentation, diagrams, flow charts,
formulas, research, economic and financial analysis, developments, processes,
procedures, "know how," marketing techniques and materials, marketing and
development plans, customer names and other information related to customers,
price lists, pricing policies, and the Company derived market information and
financial information.

     6.3    AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. Neither Participant, any member of
Participant's immediate family nor any other person or entity affiliated (as
such term is defined and used in Rule 501(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended) with Participant shall, during the restricted period set forth in
SECTION 6.1 of this Plan, engage, directly or indirectly, in any business
transaction with the Company or any person or entity affiliated with the Company
without the prior written consent of the Board.

MISCELLANEOUS

     7.1    NO GUARANTEE. While a discretionary Long Term Incentive Plan Award
may have been paid in the past, whether such payments will be made in the future
will depend upon various factors, such as the financial condition and
performance of the Company and its affiliates. It is the current intent of the
Management Incentive Plans to pay a minimum incentive plan award to each
Participant of such Management Incentive Plans even in the event of failure

                                      - 4 -
<Page>

to achieve performance goals set thereunder, with one-half of such minimum
incentive plan award under such Management Incentive Plans being added to the
Long Term Incentive Plan Award. The Company may withhold an Long Term Incentive
Plan Award, or portions thereof, for any reason including gross misconduct
(e.g., theft, dishonesty/compromised integrity, fraud, harassment, etc.), breach
of any Employment Agreement or Noncompetition Agreement or any actions deemed by
the Board to be inimical to the best interests of the Company.

     7.2    TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all
payments made under the Plan any applicable local or national taxes required by
law to be withheld with respect to such payments.

     7.3    GOVERNING LAW. Because the corporate headquarters of the Company are
located in the state of Illinois and the Participant will have frequent contact
with individuals at the corporate headquarters of the Company, the parties
hereto agree that the Plan and all rights to an Long Term Incentive Plan Award
hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of Illinois.

     7.4.   ASSIGNMENT OR PLEDGE. No rights under the Plan, contingent or
otherwise, shall be assignable or subject to any encumbrance, pledge or charge
of any nature.

     7.5    EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor its operation shall
in any way (i) affect the rights and power of the Company or applicable Pliant
affiliate to dismiss or discharge any Participants, or (ii) alter the at-will
nature of employment of any Plan Participant, subject, however to local law and
any rights under the Employment Agreement.

     7.6    DEATH. In the event of a Participant's death prior to the payment of
any Long Term Incentive Plan Award to which the Participant is otherwise
entitled, payment shall be made to the Participant's estate.

     7.7    JOB CHANGE. Eligible Participants who become eligible to participate
in the Plan by reason of a job change will be eligible for a Long Term Incentive
Plan Award based upon such "Participant's pro rated Management Incentive Plan
awards if they meet all other requirements of the Plan.

     7.8    RIGHTS TO PAYMENTS. No absolute right to any Long Term Incentive
Plan Award shall be considered as having accrued to any Participant prior to the
close of the Incentive Period with respect to which the award is made. No
Participant shall have any enforceable right to receive any Long Term Incentive
Plan Award made with respect to an Incentive Period or to retain any payment
made with respect thereto if for any reason the requirements of SECTION 4.l(a)
are not satisfied.

     7.9    PRIOR PLANS. The Plan supercedes and replaces all previous and
existing plans of the Company regarding executive incentive compensation. This
will confirm that any individual who participates under this Plan will not
participate under any other Company incentive compensation or bonus plan unless
expressly provided for in writing.

     7.10   CONFLICTS. To the extent there are any conflicts between this Plan
and any applicable Employment Agreement, the provisions of the Employment
Agreement shall govern

                                      - 5 -
<Page>

except for the provisions of SECTION 6 of the Plan which shall take precedent
over any conflicting term in any Employment Agreement.

     7.11   SEVERABILITY. The Company and Participant believe the covenants
against competition and the consideration paid therefor contained in this Plan
are reasonable and fair in all respects, and are necessary to protect the
interests of the Company. However, in case any one or more of the provisions or
parts of a provision contained in this Plan shall, for any reason, be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
or part of a provision of this Plan or any other jurisdiction, but this Plan
shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction as if such invalid or
illegal or unenforceable provision or part of a provision had never been
contained herein and such provision or part shall be reformed so that it would
be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such
jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties intend that the
covenants and agreements contained in parts (w), (x), (y) or (z) of SECTION 6.1
(a) shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants and agreements, one for
each of the world where the Company and its affiliates are doing business, the
United States, the State of Illinois and within a 500 mile radius of the
Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area. If, in any legal proceeding, a court or
arbitrator shall refuse to enforce all the separate covenants and agreements
deemed to be included in parts (w), (x), (y) and (z) of SECTION 6.1(a), it is
the intention of the parties hereto that the covenants and agreements which, if
eliminated, would permit the remaining separate covenants and agreements to be
enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed
eliminated from the provisions of parts (w), (x), (y) and (z) of SECTION 6.1.

     Participant hereby accepts the terms and conditions on the Long Term
Incentive Plan Award granted by the Company and agrees to be bound by the
provisions of the Plan.
