 WITNESSETH

together with the Primary Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the Agreements in the manner and on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS. 
  
 Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreements. 
  
 SECTION 2.
AMENDMENTS TO THE PRIMARY PURCHASE AGREEMENT. 
  
 (a) Section
1.01 of the Primary Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following definition in its proper alphabetical sequence: 
  
 “Debt Rating” means, on any date, (a) the rating, as most recently publicly announced by Moody’s, applicable to the
Specified Debt of Georgia-Pacific most comparable to the Obligations (as defined in the Georgia-Pacific Credit Agreement) of Georgia-Pacific under the Georgia-Pacific Credit Agreement, taking into account all 








 
credit support therefor as determined by the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Secondary Purchasers (it being agreed that, from and including
April 1, 2003 to, but excluding, the date on which any contrary determination is made by the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Secondary Purchasers, such rating shall be Georgia-Pacific’s senior implied issuer rating) and (b) the
rating, as most recently publicly announced by S&P, applicable to the Specified Debt of Georgia-Pacific most comparable to the Obligations (as defined in the Georgia-Pacific Credit Agreement) of Georgia-Pacific under the Georgia-Pacific Credit
Agreement, taking into account all credit support therefor as determined by the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Secondary Purchasers (it being agreed that, from and including April 1, 2003 to, but excluding, the date on which any
contrary determination is made by the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Secondary Purchasers, such rating shall be the rating of Georgia-Pacific’s senior unsecured debt); provided, however, that if such a rating is
available from only one of Moody’s or S&P, the applicable Investor Rate or fee to be determined based on such rating shall be determined solely by reference to such one rating. 
  
 (b) The definition of “Downgrade Event” in Section 1.01 of the Primary Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirely and replaced with the following: 
  
 “Downgrade Event” means Georgia-Pacific’s Debt Rating shall be withdrawn or shall fall below (i) “BBB-” (but not below “BB+”) by S&P and “Baa3” (but not below “Bal”) by
Moody’s or (ii) “BB+” by S&P or “Bal” by Moody’s. 
  
 (c) The definition of “Investor Rate” in Section 1.01 of the Primary Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting clause (a)(iii) thereof in its entirety and inserting the following in replacement
thereof: 
  
 (iii) the weighted average,
determined on such day, of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate on such day, plus the per annum rate set forth below opposite the lower of the Debt Ratings of Georgia-Pacific from Moody’s and S&P from time to time, to the extent that such Purchaser has
any borrowings outstanding under a Liquidity Facility on such day or such Purchaser is the provider of such Liquidity Facility, on the basis of a 360-day year:

 (d) Section 5.01 of
the Primary Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by (A) deleting clause (ix) of paragraph (j) thereof in its entirety and inserting in replacement thereof the following: 
  
 (ix) an Interim Activity Report beginning no later than 7 days following the date on which a Downgrade Event
occurs and at weekly intervals thereafter (or at such more frequent intervals as may be requested by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Purchasers) for so long as a Downgrade Event is continuing; provided, that if
Georgia-Pacific’s Debt Rating shall fall below “BB+” by S&P or “Bal” by Moody’s, at the request of the Administrative Agent made upon the direction of the Required Purchasers, such Interim Activity Report shall be
provided at daily intervals for so long as any such conditions for daily reporting continue to be satisfied; provided, further, that if Georgia-Pacific’s Debt Rating shall be withdrawn or shall fall below “BB-” by
S&P or “Ba3” by Moody’s, such Interim Activity Report shall be provided at daily intervals, without any action by the Administrative Agent or the Required Purchasers, for so long as any such conditions for daily reporting continue
to be satisfied. The initial Interim Activity Report will cover the period since the most recent Investor Report and each subsequent Interim Activity Report will cover the period since the prior Interim Activity Report; 
  
 (B) deleting clause (y) thereof in its entirety and inserting in replacement thereof the
following: 
  
 (y) Coverage Ratio. The
Seller shall not permit at any time the Receivable Interests of any Purchaser to exceed such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share or the Aggregate Receivable Interest of all of the Purchasers to exceed 100%; provided, that at any time during which
both (i) a Downgrade Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the 

  

 3 








 
Interim Activity Report is not being provided at daily intervals, the Seller shall not permit the Aggregate Receivable Interest of all of the Purchasers to
exceed 97.5%. 
  
 and (C) deleting clause (aa) thereof in its entirety and
inserting the following new clause (aa) in replacement thereof: 
  
 (aa) Modification of Terms. The Seller agrees that, if within 30 days of the delivery of the Investor Report prepared for the June 2003 period, the Required Purchasers determine, in their sole discretion, that
the Events of Termination in Section 7.01(j), the definition of Eligible Receivable or the Reserve are no longer reasonable or protective and so notify the Seller in writing before the expiration of such 30-day period, the Purchasers may modify the
provisions of such Section 7.0l(j), the definition of Eligible Receivable or the Reserve with the consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
  
 SECTION 3. AMENDMENT TO SECONDARY PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
  
 The definition of “Investor Rate” in Section 1.01 of the Secondary Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting paragraph (a) thereof in its entirety and inserting the following in replacement thereof:

portion thereof, plus the per annum rate set forth below opposite the lower of the Debt Ratings of Georgia-Pacific from Moody’s and S&P from time to time, notified to the Seller and the Collection Agent by a Secondary Purchaser on the first
day of each of such Fixed Periods, or such other rate as such Secondary Purchaser and the Seller shall agree in writing:

 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreements, the Seller and Georgia-Pacific hereby covenant and agree for the benefit of the
Purchasers, the Secondary Purchasers and the Administrative Agent that, on or before July 15, 2003 (or such other date as may be agreed to by the Seller, Georgia-Pacific and the Administrative Agent), the Seller and Georgia-Pacific shall permit each
Purchaser, each Secondary Purchaser and the Administrative Agent, or their respective agents or representatives, to visit and inspect the offices and properties of the Seller and Georgia-Pacific for the purpose of (i) examining and making copies of
and abstracts from all Records in the possession or under the control of the Seller or Georgia-Pacific relating to Pool Receivables and the Related Security, including, without limitation, the related Contracts, (ii) discussing matters relating to
the Seller’s and Georgia-Pacific’s financial condition or the Pool Receivables and the Related Security or the Seller’s or Georgia-Pacific’s performance hereunder or under the Contracts with any of the officers or employees of
the Seller or Georgia-Pacific having knowledge of such matters and (iii) determining whether the servicing (including, without limitation, the allocation of the Collections) has been conducted in compliance with the terms of the Agreements. In the
event that the findings of the Purchasers, the Secondary Purchasers and the Administrative Agent as a result of such examination and discussions are not reasonably satisfactory to any Purchaser, Secondary Purchaser or the Administrative Agent, such
Purchaser, Secondary Purchaser or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall so notify Georgia-Pacific and Georgia-Pacific shall promptly, but in any event not later than 30 days after the receipt of such notice by Georgia-Pacific, propose
a definitive plan for addressing any deficiencies cited by such Purchaser, Secondary Purchaser or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, which plan shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Required Purchasers and the Required Secondary
Purchasers. 
  

 5

(a) of this Section 4 shall constitute an Event of Termination under the Agreements.

 This
Amendment and the amendments to the Agreements shall be effective on the first date on which the Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel to the Purchasers, the Secondary Purchasers and the Administrative Agent and the reasonable due diligence expenses of the Purchasers, the Secondary Purchasers and the

and the Collection Agent are responsible pursuant to this Section 6. 
  
 SECTION 7. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. 
  
 This
Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts, when
