 ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION 
  

	1.01.	HISTORY OF THE PLAN 

  


	(a)	Immediately before January 1, 2003, two operating subsidiaries of MeadWestvaco (The Mead Corporation and Westvaco Corporation) sponsored five non-qualified defined contribution
plans for their eligible employees. These plans were then known as (1) the Westvaco Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, (2) the Westvaco Corporation Savings and Investment Restoration Plan, (3) the Westvaco Corporation Excess
Benefit Plan, (4) The Mead Corporation Executive Capital Accumulation Plan, and (5) The Mead Corporation Incentive Compensation Election Plan. 

  

	(b)	Deferrals to the plans listed in paragraph (a), above, were discontinued before January 1, 2003. In place of those plans, MeadWestvaco created the MeadWestvaco Corporation
Deferred Income Plan (the “Plan”). Before 2005, participants in those plans were permitted, but not required, to “roll over” their balances under those plans into the Plan. Such rolled-over balances are subject to the terms of
the Plan. 

  

	(c)	The remaining account balances under the Westvaco Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, Westvaco Corporation Savings and Investment Restoration Plan, Westvaco Corporation Excess
Benefit Plan and Mead Corporation Incentive Compensation Election Plan—i.e., those not “rolled over” to the Plan before 2005—remain subject to the terms and conditions of those plans. 

  

	(d)	The remaining account balances under the Mead Corporation Executive Capital Accumulation Plan—i.e., those not “rolled over” to the Plan before
2005—remained subject to the terms and conditions of the Mead Corporation Executive Capital Accumulation Plan in 2005 and 2006. However, effective January 1, 2007, MeadWestvaco merged the Mead Corporation Executive Capital Accumulation
Plan into this Plan. As a result of the merger, the remaining account balances under the Mead Corporation Executive Capital Accumulation Plan—i.e., those not “rolled over” to the Plan before 2005—are governed by
(i) Appendix A of the Plan, which applies to Participants who were employed by the Company or an 80% Affiliate on or after January 1, 2005; or (ii) Appendix C of the Plan, which applies to Participants who terminated employment before
January 1, 2005. 

  

	1.02.	PURPOSES OF THE PLAN 

  

	(a)	The purposes of the Plan are to enable Participants to defer voluntarily the receipt of certain amounts, including compensation not otherwise eligible for deferral under the
MeadWestvaco Corporation Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Salaried and Non-Bargained Employees (the “Qualified Plan”), to provide matching credits on certain deferrals, to restore certain benefits that cannot be provided under
the Qualified Plan, and to provide retirement and other benefits to Participants through an individual account program. 

  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 1










	(b)	The Plan is unfunded and benefits due under the Plan remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or
insolvency. Benefits due under the Plan shall be payable from the general assets of the Company or from any unsecured (“rabbi”) trust or similar arrangement, the assets of which shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general
creditors in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency. 

  

	(c)	The Plan is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management and/or highly compensated employees of the Company. The Plan
shall not be subject to the participation and vesting requirements, funding provisions, or fiduciary duty rules (Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I) of ERISA. 

  

	1.03.	AMERICAN JOBS CREATION ACT OF 2004 (“AJCA”) 

  

	(a)	Effective January 1, 2005, except as provided in Section 1.03(c): 

  

	 	(1)	All benefits under the Plan shall be subject to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); 

  

	 	(2)	The Plan shall comply with the requirements of, and shall be operated, administered, and interpreted in accordance with, (A) before January 1, 2009, a reasonable
good-faith interpretation of section 409A of the Code and (B) after December 31, 2008, section 409A of the Code; and 

  

	 	(3)	For the period from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2008, the Company and the Administration Committee had sole discretion to override the terms set forth in the plan
document for the Plan to the extent that either the Company or the Committee determined to be necessary or appropriate to comply with a good-faith, reasonable interpretation of the requirements of section 409A of the Code. 


 

	 	(4)	If the Company or Administration Committee determines that any provision of the Plan is or might be inconsistent with the restrictions imposed by section 409A, such provision shall
be deemed to be amended to the extent that the Company or Administration Committee determines is necessary to bring it into compliance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code. Any such deemed amendment shall be effective as of the earliest
date such amendment is necessary under section 409A of the Code. 

  

	(b)	No provision in the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to (1) create any liability for the Company or any Affiliate, or any of their employees, officers, directors, or
other service providers, related to a failure to comply with section 409A or (2) transfer any liability for a failure to comply with section 409A from a Participant or other individual to the Company or any Affiliate, or any of their employees,
officers, directors, or other service providers. 

  

	(c)	Pre-AJCA Accounts (as defined in Section 2.01(dd)) are not subject to section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 1.03 to the contrary,
Pre-AJCA Accounts shall be administered in accordance with the special provisions set forth in Appendix B and Appendix C, as applicable, which reflect terms that have been in effect since before October 4, 2004. With respect to such Pre-AJCA
Accounts, no amendment shall be made to the Plan that would constitute or result in a “material modification” of the Plan (within the meaning of section 885(d) of the AJCA) unless, and only to the extent that, such amendment expressly
states that it is intended to constitute a “material modification” with respect to one or more Pre-AJCA Accounts.

expected to last for a continuous period of six months or more, and such impairment causes the individual to be unable to perform the duties of his position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, the preceding sentence
shall be deemed to refer to a 29-month period rather than to a six-month period; and

	3.02.	ENDING PARTICIPATION 

 An individual
who becomes a Participant shall remain a Participant until the earlier of (a) his death or (b) the entire balance of his Account has been paid. 
 ARTICLE 4. CREDITS TO PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS 
  

	4.01.	ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE DEFERRALS 

  

	(a)	Nature of Deferrals. For any Plan Year, subject to the rules and restrictions set forth in this Section 4.01, each Eligible Employee may elect to defer under the Plan
receipt of any or all of the following amounts attributable to such Plan Year: 

  

	 	(1)	His Restorative Savings Amount for such Plan Year; 

  

	 	(2)	Up to 80 percent of his Base Salary for services performed during such Plan Year; 

  

	 	(3)	Up to 80 percent of his Commissions for such Plan Year; and 

  

	 	(4)	Up to 80 percent of his annual incentive awards (A) for services performed during such Plan Year or (B) that constitute Performance-Based Compensation for which the
performance period ends during such Plan Year. 

 If an Eligible Employee makes a Deferral Election pursuant to this

month in which the applicable amount would otherwise be payable, in accordance with such procedures as the Administration Committee may establish. Such Eligible Employee shall waive any right to receive the amount deferred and shall receive instead
only any amounts payable pursuant to Article 7 and Article 8. 
  

	(b)	Time and Manner of Deferral Elections. 

 Effective
for Plan Years that begin after December 31, 2004: 
  

	 	(1)	Except as provided in subparagraph (2) or (3): 

  

	 	(A)	An Eligible Employee must file his Deferral Election (or any change to such election) with the Plan’s recordkeeper, in a manner acceptable to the Administration Committee,
during Open Enrollment in the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year in which the services giving rise to the amount to be deferred are performed; and

	 	(B)	Except as required by Section 8.01(d), each Deferral Election (or change to the Deferral Election) shall be irrevocable during the Plan Year in which the services giving rise
to the amount deferred are performed. 

  

	 	(2)	With respect to Performance-Based Compensation, the Administration Committee shall have discretion to allow Eligible Employees to file Deferral Elections (or changes to such
elections) after the deadline prescribed by subparagraph (1), above; provided that: 

  

	 	(A)	The Eligible Employee performs services for the Company and/or its Affiliates continuously from the later of (i) the beginning of the performance period or (ii) the date
the performance criteria are established (in accordance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(e)) through the date his Deferral Election is filed; and 

  

	 	(B)	Such Deferral Election (or change thereto) is filed and irrevocable— 

  

	 	(i)	No later than six months before the end of the applicable performance period, and 

  

	 	(ii)	Before such Performance-Based Compensation is both substantially certain to be paid and readily ascertainable. 

  

	 	(3)	For the first Plan Year in which an individual is eligible to participate in the Plan, if such Eligible Employee has not been eligible to participate in any other 409A Account Plan,
such Eligible Employee’s properly executed Deferral Election may be delivered to the Plan’s recordkeeper after the deadline prescribed by subparagraph (1), above; provided that: (A) such Deferral Election is delivered to the
recordkeeper no later than 30 days after such individual first becomes eligible to participate in a 409A Account Plan, (B) such Deferral Election applies only to compensation for services performed after such Deferral Election is delivered to
the recordkeeper, and (C) such Deferral Election is irrevocable during such Plan Year. 

  

	 	(4)	If a Participant does not file an election before the first day of any Plan Year after the first Plan Year in which he was eligible to participate in the Plan, his Deferral Election
from the prior Plan Year (if any) shall remain in effect as if it had been re-filed and shall be irrevocable during such Plan Year. (If the Participant does not have an election in effect for the prior Plan Year, he shall be deemed to have made a
Deferral Election of zero.) 

  

	(c)	Amount of Deferrals. 

  

	 	(1)	An Eligible Employee who elects to defer his Restorative Savings Amount must defer 100 percent of such Restorative Savings Amount for the applicable Plan Year.


  

	 	(2)	An Eligible Employee who elects to defer any amount other than his Restorative Savings Amount must elect to defer at least $5,000, not including his Restorative Savings Amount (and
disregarding the possibility that the Eligible Employee could terminate employment before deferring $5,000), for the applicable Plan Year.

	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 9










	 	(3)	All Deferral Elections pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be subject to such other rules as the Administration Committee may establish; provided that such rules and
regulations are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 

  

	(d)	Limitation on Employee Deferrals. An Eligible Employee’s Deferral Election for any payroll period shall be ineffective to the extent that the amount deferred will reduce
his non-deferred earnings to a level insufficient to pay applicable employment and payroll taxes (including FICA and Medicare taxes). 

  

	4.02.	EMPLOYER NON-QUALIFIED MATCHING CREDITS 

  

	(a)	For each Plan Year with respect to which an Eligible Employee has made a Deferral Election, in accordance with such procedures as the Administration Committee may establish, a
non-qualified matching credit shall be added to each Eligible Employee’s Account, equal to— 

  

	 	(1)	100 percent of the amount such Eligible Employee deferred for such Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.01(a) up to a maximum of 3 percent of his Excess Compensation for such
payroll period; plus 

  

	 	(2)	50 percent of the amount such Eligible Employee deferred for such Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.01(a) to the extent such amount exceeds 3 percent of his Excess Compensation
for such Plan Year and does not exceed 5 percent of his Excess Compensation for such Plan Year. 

  

	(b)	Effective for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2006, and subject to the requirements of this subsection (b), the Administration Committee shall have discretion to add
an additional non-qualified matching credit to the Account of any Eligible Employee who timely filed an irrevocable election to defer his Restorative Savings Amount for such Plan Year. 

  

	 	(1)	The amount of any matching credit added pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be no greater than the excess, if any, of— 

  

	 	(A)	The amount of the Employer Matching Contributions (as defined in the Qualified Plan) that would have been added to the Eligible Employee’s Qualified Plan account if the
Eligible Employee had deferred under the Qualified Plan the full amount of compensation that he elected to defer under the Qualified Plan for such Plan Year (pursuant to an irrevocable election filed before the beginning of such Plan Year),
determined without regard to the Qualified Plan Limits, over 

  

	 	(B)	The sum of (i) the Employer Matching Contributions (as defined in the Qualified Plan) actually added to the Eligible Employee’s Qualified Plan account for such Plan Year,
and (ii) the amount of the Eligible Employee’s non-qualified matching credit for such Plan Year prescribed by subsection (a), above. 

  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 10










	 	(2)	No matching credit pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be added to any Participant’s Account before the last day of the Plan Year for which it applies. In order to be
eligible to receive any matching credit pursuant to this subsection (b), the Participant must be actively employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates on the last day of such Plan Year. 

  

	 	(3)	Any matching credit added to a Participant’s Account pursuant to this subsection (b) (adjusted for earnings, interest, gains, and losses) shall be paid at the same time
and in the same form as the Participant’s Restorative Savings Amount for the Plan Year with respect to which such additional matching credit is added to the Participant’s Account. 

  

	(c)	The Administration Committee shall have discretion to determine when non-qualified matching credits are added to Eligible Employees’ Accounts. Such discretion shall include the
discretion to credit all or part of the matching credit required by this Section 4.02 on a payroll period or monthly basis, and to credit matching credits for any Plan Year after the end of such Plan Year. No credit shall be adjusted for
earnings, interest, gains, or losses with respect to any period before the date on which such credit is added to the Eligible Employee’s Account. 

 ARTICLE 5. INVESTMENTS AND ACCOUNTS 
  

	5.01.	PARTICIPANT ALLOCATION OF ACCOUNTS AMONG BOOK-ENTRY
INVESTMENT FUNDS 

  

	(a)	The Investment Policy Committee shall establish book-entry Investment Funds, which shall include the MeadWestvaco Stock Unit Fund (an Investment Fund that mirrors the MeadWestvaco
Stock Fund under the Qualified Plan), for measuring earnings or losses on Account balances. 

  

	(b)	Amounts recorded in a Participant’s Account may be allocated by the Participant, in any proportion (in 1 percent increments), among the book-entry Investment Funds available
under the Plan. Allocation requests shall be made by a notification submitted in such manner and form, and at such time, as the Administration Committee prescribes. 

  

	(c)	If a Participant fails to make any allocation in accordance with this Section 5.01, such unallocated funds shall be allocated to the Investment Fund selected by the Investment
Policy Committee. 

  

	(d)	All non-qualified matching credits pursuant to Section 4.02 shall be allocated initially to the MeadWestvaco Stock Unit Fund but may be transferred from the MeadWestvaco Stock
Unit Fund to other Investment Funds to the extent permitted under Section 5.02. 

  

	5.02.	CHANGE IN ALLOCATION 

  

	(a)	At any time (but no more than once per day unless permitted by the Plan’s recordkeeper), 

  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 11










	 	(1)	a Participant may change a previous investment election with respect to future deferrals (not including matching credits, which are subject to Section 5.01(d)) by submitting a
notification to the Plan’s recordkeeper, in such manner and form, and at such time, as the Administration Committee prescribes, directing such a change; and 

  

	 	(2)	a Participant may direct that all or part of his Account allocated to a particular Investment Fund be transferred to any of the other available Investment Funds by submitting a
notification to the Company in such manner and form, and at such time, as the Administration Committee prescribes. 

  

	(b)	A Participant may continue to direct the book-entry investment of his Accounts in accordance with this Section 5.02 until the entire balance of his Account is paid pursuant to
Article 7 and Article 8. In addition, a Beneficiary or former Spouse may continue to direct the investment of the portion of the Participant’s Account to which such person is entitled in accordance with this Section 5.02 until his interest
in the Participant’s Account is fully paid. 

  

	(c)	Any change in allocation (including any transfer) shall be specified in either whole dollar or whole percentage increments and shall otherwise be subject to such rules and
procedures as the Administration Committee shall establish. 

  

	5.03.	VALUATION OF INVESTMENT FUNDS 

  

	(a)	At the discretion of the Administration Committee, the Investment Funds available under the Plan may be valued on a unitized basis. 

  

	(b)	As of each Valuation Date, the Plan’s recordkeeper shall determine the book-entry fair market value of the balances allocated to each Investment Fund. Such value shall reflect
(1) earnings (or losses) on each Investment Fund, (2) new credits, (3) payments, and (4) expenses allocated to each Investment Fund since the most recent Valuation Date. 

  

	5.04.	SUB-ACCOUNTS 

  

	(a)	The Plan’s recordkeeper shall establish sub-accounts for each Participant’s Account as the Administration Committee or recordkeeper deems appropriate for any Participant,
such as sub-accounts to track Specified Date Distributions and Pre-AJCA Accounts. 

  

	(b)	Expenses and book-entry investment gains (and losses) shall be allocated among the sub-accounts that comprise each Participant’s Account at such time and in such manner as the
Administration Committee shall prescribe. 

  

	(c)	The balance of each Participant’s Account (and of each of the several sub-accounts comprising the Participant’s Account) shall be updated as of each Valuation Date to
reflect all gains, losses, income, and expenses of the Investment Funds to which the Account is allocated, and any payments and expenses with respect to such Participant. 

  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 12










	5.05.	RISK OF LOSS 

 Neither
the Plan nor the Company guarantees that the fair market value of the Investment Funds, or of any particular Investment Fund, will not decrease in value or that the fair market value of any Participant’s Account will not decline as a result of
negative performance of book-entry investments pursuant to this Article 5. Each Participant shall assume all risk of any decrease in the balance of the Investment Funds and their Accounts, without regard to whether such decrease results from an
investment election made by the Company or by the Participant. 
  

	5.06.	INTERESTS IN THE PLAN 

 No Participant, Beneficiary, or former Spouse shall have any claim, right, title, or interest in or to any specific assets until a payment is made to the Participant, Beneficiary, or former Spouse. No Participant,
Beneficiary, or former Spouse has any claim, right, title, or interest in or to any specific assets, except as and to the extent expressly provided herein. 
  

	5.07.	SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE COMPANY STOCK PORTION
OF THE PLAN 

  

	(a)	Trading Price. Any transfer of an amount into or out of the MeadWestvaco Stock Unit Fund shall be executed using the same closing price of a share of MeadWestvaco Common
Stock as would apply for a comparable transfer into or out of the MeadWestvaco Stock Fund under the Qualified Plan. 

  

	(b)	Dividend Equivalents Under the MeadWestvaco Stock Unit Fund. Any credits in a Participant’s Account allocated to the MeadWestvaco Stock Unit Fund shall be increased
whenever a dividend is paid on MeadWestvaco Common Stock. The number of additional credits credited to a Participant’s Account as a result of such increase shall be determined by (1) dividing the balance of a Participant’s Account
allocated to the MeadWestvaco Stock Unit Fund by the closing price of a share of MeadWestvaco Common Stock on the composite tape of New York Stock Exchange issues on the dividend record date (or if there was no reported sale of MeadWestvaco Common
Stock on such date, on the next preceding day on which there was such a reported sale), and then (2) by multiplying the amount resulting from the calculation in clause (1) by the amount of the dividend declared per share of MeadWestvaco
Common Stock on the dividend record date. 

 ARTICLE 6. VESTING AND FORFEITURE 
  

	6.01.	VESTING 

  

	(a)	Except as provided in Section 6.02, each Participant shall have a fully vested, nonforfeitable interest in all amounts deferred under the Plan and related earnings.


  

	(b)	A Participant’s vested interest shall not affect the Participant’s status as a general creditor of the Company, on equal footing with all other unsecured creditors of the
Company, with respect to his Account balance.

	6.02.	FORFEITURE 

 Subject to the requirements of section
409A of the Code (including the limitations set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(xiii)), the amount of any payment to or on behalf of any individual shall be subject to any claims the Company may have against such individual. The
remedies available to the Company and Affiliates, at law or in equity, for any loss or other injury caused directly or indirectly by a current or former Participant, shall not be limited in any way. 
 ARTICLE 7. PAYMENTS 
  

	7.01.	DISTRIBUTION ELECTION PROCESS 

  

	(a)	Subject to the provisions of this Article 7, Section 1.03, Appendix B and Appendix C, the Administration Committee shall establish procedures for Participants to elect the time
and manner in which their Accounts will be paid. 

  

	(b)	Effective January 1, 2005, each Plan Year, during Open Enrollment (or when an Eligible Employee makes a Deferral Election pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(2) or (3)), each
Eligible Employee shall file a Distribution Election specifying the time (or times) and manner of payment of the deferrals and matching and other credits attributable (as described in Sections 4.01(a) and 2.01(i)) to the upcoming Plan Year. If
an Eligible Employee does not make a Distribution Election for any amount deferred or credited to his Account by the deadline for making the corresponding Deferral Election, such amount (including associated matching credits and earnings) shall be
paid at the time and in the form prescribed by Section 7.02(b)(2) (unless such time or form is changed in accordance with the requirements of Section 7.04). 

  

	(c)	Any Distribution Election that is not made in accordance with the procedures established by the Administration Committee shall be ineffective and shall be disregarded.


  

	7.02.	TYPES OF DISTRIBUTIONS 

 Subject to the provisions of this Article 7, Section 1.03, Appendix B and Appendix C, a Participant may elect to receive a payment of all or part of his Account on a specified date or after his Termination Date, in a form permitted
under Section 7.03. For purposes of determining the amount of any payment under this Section 7.02, the balance of any Account shall be determined as of June 30 of the Plan Year in which such payment is made. 
  

	(a)	Specified Date Distributions. Subject to the procedures and election deadline prescribed by Section 7.01 and the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.02(a), a
Participant may elect a Specified Date Distribution in a form permitted by Section 7.03. 

  

	 	(1)	Each Distribution Election form calling for a Specified Date Distribution shall specify the Plan Year in which such Specified Date Distribution will commence, which shall be no
earlier than the second Plan Year after the Plan Year in which the applicable Deferral Election was filed (or deemed to be filed, in the case of a deemed election pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(4)). 

  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 14










	 	(2)	After the election deadline prescribed by Section 7.01, an election to receive a Specified Date Distribution may be amended only in the manner and to the extent permitted under
Section 7.04. 

  

	 	(3)	Any deferrals and other credits with respect to which an Eligible Employee elects to receive a Specified Date Distribution shall be segregated in a separate sub-account of the
Participant’s Account, to be separately adjusted to reflect earnings and losses thereon pursuant to Article 5. 

  

	 	(4)	Each Specified Date Distribution shall commence as soon as practicable after June 30 of the Plan Year elected by the Participant pursuant to paragraph (a)(1), above. The
Company shall make each payment as soon as practicable after June 30 of the Plan Year in which such payment (whether an installment or a lump sum) is due. 

  

	 	(5)	Each Specified Date Distribution shall be coordinated with the Participant’s Termination Distribution, as follows: 

  

	 	(A)	If the Participant’s Termination Date (for a reason other than death) occurs before the commencement date for the Specified Date Distribution: 

  

	 	(i)	If the Participant’s Termination Date occurs before the Participant’s 55th birthday, the sub-account or sub-accounts associated with such Specified Date Distribution shall
be paid in the form that applies for the Participant’s Termination Distribution (or, if the Participant has not elected a form, the form prescribed by Section 7.02(b)(2)), commencing at the time prescribed by Section 7.02(b)(1)(B).


  

	 	(ii)	If the Participant’s Termination Date occurs on or after the Participant’s 55th birthday, the sub-account or sub-accounts associated with such Specified Date Distribution
shall be paid in accordance with the Participant’s Specified Date Distribution election, without regard to the Participant’s termination of employment. 

  

	 	(B)	If the Participant’s Termination Date (for a reason other than death) occurs after the commencement date for the Specified Date Distribution (regardless of the
Participant’s age), the sub-account or sub-accounts associated with such Specified Date Distribution shall continue to be paid in accordance with the Participant’s Specified Date Distribution election, without regard to the
Participant’s termination of employment (but subject to paragraph (6), below). 

  

	 	(6)	Notwithstanding the form or time of payment elected by the Participant or any other individual, if a Participant dies before he receives all or part of a Specified Date
Distribution, the Company shall pay any remaining balance in his Account in accordance with Section 8.02.

	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 15










	(b)	Distributions Following Termination Date. 

  

	 	(1)	Subject to the procedures and election deadline prescribed by Section 7.01 and the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.02(b), a Participant may elect that a
Termination Distribution will commence, in a form permitted by Section 7.03, as soon as practicable after June 30 of any Plan Year after the Plan Year in which his Termination Date occurs, subject to the following restrictions:


  

	 	(A)	The elected Plan Year of commencement must be no later than the earlier of— 

  

	 	(i)	The tenth Plan Year following the Participant’s Termination Date, or 

  

	 	(ii)	The Plan Year next following the later of (I) the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 70 or (II) the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Termination Date
occurs. 

  

	 	(B)	If the Participant’s Termination Date (for a reason other than death) occurs before his 55th birthday, his election as to the time of payment shall not apply and payment shall
commence as soon as practicable after (I) June 30 of the Plan Year next following the Plan Year in which such Participant’s Termination Date occurs or (II) such later commencement date as required by reason of a change in election
previously filed under Section 7.04(a). 

  

	 	(C)	Notwithstanding the form or time of payment elected by the Participant or any other individual, if the Participant dies before his entire Account is paid, the Company shall pay his
Account in accordance with Section 8.02. 

  

	 	(2)	Subject to Section 7.04, any portion of a Participant’s Account with respect to which the Participant did not file a valid and timely Distribution Election shall be paid
in a lump sum as soon as practicable after June 30 of the Plan Year next following the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs. For purposes of this Section 7.02(b)(2), a deemed election under
Section 4.01(b)(4) shall be treated as a valid and timely Distribution Election. If the Participant dies before all or part of his Account is paid pursuant to this Section 7.02(b)(2), his Account shall be paid in accordance with
Section 8.02. 

  

	7.03.	FORM OF PAYMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS 

  

	(a)	Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b), below, all payments pursuant to this Article 7 shall be in the form of a lump sum. 

  

	(b)	At the time that he makes a Distribution Election with respect to any amount (in accordance with Section 7.01(b)), a Participant may elect to receive the portion of his Account
that is attributable to such amount in annual installments or a combination of annual installments and a partial lump sum, subject to the following restrictions: 

  

	 	(1)	Effective January 1, 2005, in the case of a Specified Date Distribution, the number of annual installments shall not exceed five. 

  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 16










	 	(2)	In the case of a Termination Distribution: 

  

	 	(A)	The number of annual installments shall not exceed 20, and 

  

	 	(B)	If the vested balance of a Participant’s Account as of June 30 of the Plan Year in which payments are scheduled to commence is $50,000 or less, such vested balance shall
be paid to the Participant in a lump sum; and 

  

	 	(C)	No partial lump sum shall be paid to any Participant whose Termination Date occurs before he attains age 55. If Participant’s age as of his Termination Date is less than 55,
any Termination Distribution that is scheduled to be paid in a combination of annual installments and a partial lump sum shall be paid in annual installments over the scheduled number of years, without the partial lump sum. 


 

	 	(3)	To the extent that payments are to be made in annual installments, the amount of each annual installment shall be equal to the balance of the applicable Account as of June 30
of the applicable Plan Year divided by the number of annual installments remaining to be paid. 

  

	7.04.	CHANGES TO THE TIME AND FORM OF DISTRIBUTION


  

	(a)	Effective January 1, 2005, a Participant may change the time or form in which all or a portion of his Account (not including any Pre-AJCA Account, which shall be subject to the
provisions of Appendix B and Appendix C) will be paid only to the extent permitted by the Administration Committee, in accordance with any rules or procedures that the Administration Committee may establish. Such rules or procedures established by
the Administration Committee shall be designed to avoid adverse tax consequences and, except as permitted under the special transition rules set forth in paragraph (b), below, shall comply with the following restrictions: 


 

	 	(1)	Any change must be filed with the Plan’s recordkeeper before the Participant’s Termination Date. 

  

	 	(2)	The time or schedule for payment of all or part of a Participant’s Account shall not be accelerated, unless the Administration Committee determines that such acceleration would
not result in adverse tax consequences under section 409A of the Code or other applicable tax doctrines. The Administration Committee shall have discretion to accelerate payments to the extent (and only to the extent) permitted by Treas. Reg.
§ 1.409A-3(j)(i) through (xiv). 

  

	 	(3)	The time or schedule for payment may be delayed and the form of payment may be changed only if: (A) the Participant’s election is filed with the Plan’s recordkeeper
at least 12 months before the date of the first payment from the sub-account to which such election applies would be made if not for such election and (B) the Participant’s election results in payment being delayed for at least five years
from the date payment otherwise would have been made. For purposes of this rule, the payment date in any Plan Year shall be deemed to be July 1 of such Plan Year.

	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 17









 Where an amount is scheduled to be paid upon more than one alternative date or event (such as the
earliest of a fixed date, the Participant’s Termination Date, or his death), the requirements of this Section 7.04(a)(3) shall be applied separately with respect to each date or event, in accordance with Treas. Reg.
§ 1.409A-2(b)(6). 
  

	(b)	Special Transition Rules 

  

	 	(1)	Papers Participants. Any Participant whose employment was terminated as of May 1, 2005 as a result of MeadWestvaco’s divestiture of its Papers business (a
“Papers Participant”) may make a one-time election, to be filed with the Plan’s recordkeeper on or before May 20, 2005, to change the time and/or form in which all or part of his Account is paid; provided that:


  

	 	(A)	The elected commencement date shall not be before July 2006; 

  

	 	(B)	The elected form shall be either a lump sum or annual installments over a period of 20 or fewer years; and 

  

	 	(C)	If, as of the Papers Participant’s elected commencement date, the vested balance of his Account is less than or equal to $50,000, such vested balance shall be paid in a lump
sum. 

  

	 	(2)	AJCA Transition. Prior to January 1, 2009, or such earlier deadline as established by the Administration Committee, any Participant may elect to change the time
and/or form in which all or part of his Account (not including any Pre-AJCA Account, which shall be subject to the provisions of Appendix B or Appendix C, as applicable) is paid; provided that: 

  

	 	(A)	Such election shall not become effective unless such election is filed with the Plan’s recordkeeper (i) before the Participant’s Termination Date and (ii) at
least 12 months before the date the first payment from the sub-account to which such election applies would be made if not for such election; 

  

	 	(B)	Payments pursuant to such election shall commence no earlier than 12 months after such election is filed with the Plan’s recordkeeper; and 

  

	 	(C)	The elected form of payment shall be a form permitted under Section 7.03.

	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 18










	(c)	Rules of Construction 

  

	 	(1)	For purposes of this Section 7.04, a series of installment payments shall be treated as a single payment. A combination of installments and a lump sum shall be treated as two
separate payments: (A) the lump sum and (B) the series of installments. 

  

	 	(2)	Any election to change the time or form of payment of all or part of a Participant’s Account that does not comply with the rules and procedures established by the
Administration Committee, or that is otherwise inconsistent with the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.04, shall be null and void. 

  

	(d)	Discontinuation of Unscheduled Distributions. Effective January 1, 2005, unscheduled distributions (other than hardship withdrawals in accordance with Section 8.01) shall
not be permitted; provided that the provisions for unscheduled distributions in effect as of October 3, 2004, as set forth in Appendix B and Appendix C, shall remain in effect for Pre-AJCA Accounts. 

  

	7.05.	PRE-AJCA ACCOUNTS 

 Effective
January 1, 2005, the provisions of this Article 7 shall not apply for any Pre-AJCA Account. Pre-AJCA DIP Accounts shall be paid in accordance with Section B-3, except as provided in Section B-4. Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Accounts shall be paid in
accordance with Sections C-3 through C-5. 
 ARTICLE 8. HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS AND PAYMENTS UPON DEATH 
  

	8.01.	HARDSHIP WITHDRAWAL. 

 Effective
January 1, 2005, subject to approval by the Administration Committee, a Participant who is actively employed by the Company and who satisfies the requirements of this Section 8.01 may receive a lump-sum hardship withdrawal of a portion of
his Account (not including any Pre-AJCA Account, which shall be subject to the provisions of Appendix B or Appendix C, as applicable) in case of an “unforeseeable emergency.” 
  

	(a)	For purposes of this Section 8.01, an “unforeseeable emergency” is a severe financial hardship of the Participant resulting from: 

  

	 	(1)	An illness or accident of the Participant or his Spouse or dependent (as defined in section 152(a) of the Code), 

  

	 	(2)	Loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, as a result
of a natural disaster), or

medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles and prescription drugs, and the need to pay funeral expenses for the Participant’s Spouse or
dependent (as defined in section 152(a) of the Code)), as determined by the Administration Committee. 


 In no case may the
need to send a child to college or the desire to purchase a home constitute an “unforeseeable emergency.” 
  

	(b)	If a Participant seeks to receive a payment pursuant to this Section 8.01, the Participant shall present such evidence and certifications as the Administration Committee or the
Plan’s recordkeeper considers necessary to determine whether the Participant meets the requirements of this Section 8.01. 

  

	(c)	The amount of any payment pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall not exceed the amount reasonably required to satisfy the emergency need, taking into account both cessation of
deferrals pursuant to paragraph (d), below, and the extent to which the Participant’s unforeseeable emergency is or may be relieved through— 

  

	 	(1)	Reimbursement or payment by insurance or otherwise; 

  

	 	(2)	A commercial loan or a loan under the Qualified Plan; 

  

	 	(3)	A hardship withdrawal under the Qualified Plan; 

  

	 	(4)	Liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or 

  

	 	(5)	Cessation of deferrals under the Qualified Plan or any other tax-qualified retirement plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate. 

  

	(d)	If a Participant receives a payment pursuant to this Section 8.01— 

  

	 	(1)	His Deferral Elections for the remainder of the Plan Year in which such hardship withdrawal is paid shall be canceled; 

  

	 	(2)	Any deferral election previously filed by the Participant under any other nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement maintained by the Company or an Affiliate shall be canceled;
and 

  

	 	(3)	The Participant shall not be permitted to file any further Deferral Elections (or any deferral elections pursuant to any other plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate) with
respect to the Plan Year during which such hardship withdrawal is paid.

	8.03.	DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

	9.03.	INTERPRETATIONS

 ARTICLE 10. AMENDMENT
AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 
  

	10.01.	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 

  

	(a)	The Company reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to amend in whole or in part, either retroactively or prospectively, any or all of the provisions of this Plan
without notice to or the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary hereunder; provided, however, that no amendment shall: 

  

	 	(1)	Reduce any Participant’s vested Account balance, except to the extent that a reduction results from (A) an amendment described in Section 1.03(a)(4) or (B) an
amendment that the Company determines is necessary or appropriate to conform the Plan to mandatory provisions of applicable federal or state laws, regulations, or rulings or to secure or maintain favorable tax treatment of amounts deferred
under the Plan; 

  

	 	(2)	Constitute or result in a “material modification” of the Plan (within the meaning of section 885(d) of the AJCA) with respect to any Pre-AJCA Account, unless, and only to
the extent that, the amendment or other action that could constitute a “material modification” expressly states that it is intended to constitute a “material modification” of the Plan with respect to one or more Pre-AJCA
Accounts; or 

  

	 	(3)	Be effective to the extent that it would result in a violation of any requirement under section 409A of the Code. 

  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 22










	(b)	Any amendment of this Plan may be adopted by resolution of the Board of Directors. In addition, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer of MeadWestvaco,
the President of MeadWestvaco, and the Senior Vice President of MeadWestvaco with responsibility for Human Resources may make any amendment which: (1) may be necessary or desirable to improve the administration of the Plan, so long as such
amendment does not materially affect the substance of the Plan or the level of benefits the Plan provides or (2) may be required to comply with various federal or state laws (including tax laws that might result in adverse tax consequences to
any Participant, the Company, or an Affiliate). 

  

	10.02.	TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 

  

	(a)	Reservation of Right to Terminate. Although the Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan, partially or in its
entirety, without notice to or the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary, by a written resolution of the Board of Directors. 

  

	(b)	Date of Termination. If the Board of Directors adopts a resolution to terminate the Plan, the Plan shall be terminated as of a date to be specified in the resolution.


  

	(c)	Rights of Affected Participants. In the event of the termination or partial termination of the Plan, or the discontinuance of deferrals and credits to the Plan, the balance
of any Participant’s Account and timing of payments of such balance shall remain unchanged, unless (1) the Participant consents otherwise and (2) MeadWestvaco determines that the change would not result in adverse tax consequences
under section 409A of the Code (e.g., the change is permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)). 

  

	10.03.	DESIGN DECISIONS 

 Decisions regarding
the design of the Plan shall be made in a settlor capacity. The act of modifying, altering, amending, or terminating the Plan shall be taken on behalf of the Company as employer sponsor of the Plan, and shall not be construed under any circumstances
as an act taken in a fiduciary capacity under or with respect to the Plan. 
 ARTICLE 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  

	11.01.	EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS NOT AFFECTED BY PLAN 

 The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company or an Affiliate and any employee or other service provider.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to give to any individual the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate or to interfere with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to discharge any service provider. 
  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 23










	11.02.	DOUBT AS TO IDENTITY 

  

	(a)	If, after reasonable efforts, the Administration Committee is unable to determine the whereabouts of any person entitled to payment hereunder, the Accounts of such person shall be
deemed paid in accordance with the required payment schedule, and the Administration Committee shall take (or cause to be taken) all steps that it determines to be reasonably appropriate to avoid a violation of section 409A of the Code (e.g.,
withholding income taxes at the time of each deemed payment, and depositing the amount withheld with the Internal Revenue Service). For purposes of the preceding sentence, notice by registered mail sent to such person’s most recent address (as
reflected in the Plan records) shall be deemed to constitute reasonable efforts to locate such person. Subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code, if such person subsequently makes a proper claim to the Company for such sum, the Company
may in its discretion pay to such person the net amount (after withholding) of the deemed payment described in this Section 11.02(a). 

  

	(b)	If a payment is made to a Participant, Beneficiary, or former Spouse as provided under the Plan, the payment is not returned as being undeliverable, and the check on which the
payment is made is not presented for payment before such time as the check expires, then the amount of the check may be forfeited. However, subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code, if such Participant, Beneficiary, or former Spouse
subsequently makes a proper claim for the amount of the uncashed benefit check, the Company may in its discretion issue a replacement check. 

  

	11.03.	PAYMENT MEDIUM 

 All payments under
this Plan shall be made in cash. 
  

	11.04.	OBLIGATIONS TO MAKE PAYMENTS 

 Any obligation of the Company, MeadWestvaco, or any Designated Subsidiary to make a payment under the Plan may be satisfied by MeadWestvaco or the applicable Designated Subsidiary (a) making the payment or
(b) causing another party, such as an Affiliate or the trustee of an unsecured trust, to make the payment. 
  

	11.05.	LIABILITY LIMITED 

 Except as
otherwise provided by applicable law, no liability shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, directors, officers, or employees of the Company or any Affiliate under or by reason of any of the terms and conditions contained in the Plan or
in any of the contracts procured pursuant thereto or implied therefrom. 
  

	11.06.	OVERPAYMENTS 

 To the extent permitted by section
409A of the Code, if any overpayment of benefits is made under the Plan, the amount of the overpayment may be set off against further amounts payable to or on behalf of the person who received the overpayment until the overpayment has been
recovered. The foregoing remedy is not intended to be exclusive. 
  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 24










	11.07.	INCAPACITY AND MINOR STATUS 

 If any individual is a minor or unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, unless a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative has been appointed, any payment due from the Plan to that
individual may be paid, for the benefit of such individual, to his Spouse, parent, brother, sister, or other person deemed by the Administration Committee to have incurred expenses for such person. Such payment, to the extent thereof, shall
discharge all liability for such payment under the Plan. 
  

	11.08.	ASSIGNMENT AND LIENS 

  

	(a)	Nonalienability of Benefits. Subject to paragraph (b), below, the right of any person to any benefit or payment under the Plan shall not be subject to alienation, transfer,
assignment, or encumbrance, or otherwise subject to lien, and any such attempt to alienate, transfer, assign, or encumber any benefit or payment under the Plan shall be null and void. 

  

	(b)	Exception for Transfers Incident to Divorce. Paragraph (a), above, shall not apply to payments made pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in section
414(p)(1)(A) of the Code) applicable to this Plan. Any domestic relations order shall be subject to the terms of the Qualified Plan with respect to any such orders, except that all qualified domestic relations orders shall be construed and executed
in a manner consistent with the terms of the Plan and the requirements of section 409A of the Code. 

  

	11.09.	WITHHOLDING TAXES 

 The Administration
Committee may make any appropriate arrangements to deduct from all amounts paid under the Plan, or to collect, any taxes reasonably determined to be required to be withheld under applicable laws. Irrespective of whether withholding is required, the
Participant, Beneficiary, or surviving or former Spouse, as the case may be, shall bear all taxes on amounts paid under the Plan, on any imputed income resulting from the operation of the Plan, and on any other payments or compensation from the
Company or an Affiliate. 
  

	11.10.	TITLES AND HEADINGS NOT TO CONTROL 

 The titles to articles and the headings of sections, subsections, paragraphs, and clauses in the Plan are placed herein for convenience of reference only, and in the
event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 
  

	11.11.	NOTICE OF PROCESS 

 In
any action or proceeding involving the Plan, the Company and the Administration Committee are the only necessary parties, and no Participant, Beneficiary, former Spouse, or other person having or claiming to have an interest under the Plan shall be
entitled to any notice of process unless such notice is required by applicable law. 
  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE 25










	11.12.	PLAN EXPENSES 

 All reasonable
expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan may be charged against Participants’ accounts in such manner as the Administration Committee determines to be reasonable. 
  

	11.13.	GOVERNING LAW AND LIMITATION ON ACTIONS 

  

	(a)	The Plan shall be construed, administered, and regulated in accordance with the provisions of federal law, and, to the extent not preempted thereby, in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Virginia, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. 

  

	(b)	No claim for non-payment or underpayment of benefits allegedly owed by the Plan (regardless of whether such benefits are allegedly due under the terms of the Plan or by reason of
any law) may be filed in court until the claimant has exhausted the claims review procedures established in accordance with Section 9.05. Claims for underpayment or non-payment of benefits must be filed in a court located with jurisdiction to
hear the claim no later than thirty-six (36) months after the date when the payment of the benefit commenced or the date when the first payment was allegedly due, as applicable. The running of the thirty-six (36) month limitations period
shall be suspended during the time that any request for review of the claim pursuant to Section 9.05 is pending before the Administration Committee. The foregoing limitations period is expressly intended to replace and to supersede any
limitations period that might otherwise be deemed applicable under state or federal law in the absence of this Section 11.13. Claims filed after the expiration of the limitations period prescribed by this Section 11.13 shall be deemed to
be time-barred. 

  

	11.14.	CLASS ACTION FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE 

  

	(a)	To the fullest extent permitted by law, any lawsuit associated with a putative class action lawsuit relating in any way to the Plan or the administration of the Plan shall be filed
in one of the following jurisdictions: (1) the jurisdiction in which the Plan is principally administered or (2) the jurisdiction in which the largest number of putative class members resides (or if that jurisdiction cannot be determined,
the jurisdiction in which the largest number of class members is reasonably believed to reside). If any such lawsuit is filed in a jurisdiction other than the one described in the previous sentence, then the Plan, any Plan affiliates, and all
alleged Plan participants shall take all necessary steps to have the lawsuit removed to, transferred to, or re-filed in the jurisdiction described in the previous sentence. 

  

	(b)	This Section 11.14 does not relieve the Plan or any putative litigant or class member of any obligation existing under the Plan or by law to exhaust administrative remedies
(including the applicable claims procedures) before initiating litigation or to comply with the limitation of actions provision set forth in Section 11.13(b).

	11.15.	SEVERABILITY 

 If any provision of the Plan should be
held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein. 

 

	11.16.	INTEGRATION CLAUSE AND COMPLETE STATEMENT OF PLAN


 This document is a complete statement of the Plan and, as of the effective date hereof, supersedes all prior plan documents. No
Participant, Beneficiary, former Spouse, or any other person shall be entitled to or have any vested right in or claim to a benefit under the Plan, except as expressly provided herein. The Company shall from time to time issue to Participants one or
more booklets or brochures or make presentations summarizing the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan document and the terms of any such booklets, brochures, and presentations summarizing the Plan, the terms of the Plan
document shall control.

	 	(i)	The Company shall pay Pre-AJCA DIP Accounts in accordance with Pre-AJCA DIP Participant distribution elections made pursuant to such procedures established by the Administration

with any unpaid portions of any in-service distribution pursuant to Section 7.02(a) of the Pre-AJCA DIP) shall be distributed in a single lump sum, as soon as practicable after June 30 of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which his Pre-AJCA DIP Termination Date occurs. 

  

	 	(iv)	If a Pre-AJCA DIP Participant terminated employment with an effective Pre-AJCA DIP Termination Distribution election that does not apply to the entire balance in his Pre-AJCA DIP
Account, (A) distribution of the portion of the Pre-AJCA DIP Account to which a Pre-AJCA DIP Termination Distribution election applies shall commence in accordance with the terms of such election, and (B) the remaining balance of his
Pre-AJCA DIP Account shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable after June 30 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which his Pre-AJCA DIP Termination Date occurs. 

  

	 	(c)	Form of Payment Following Termination of Employment 

  

	 	(i)	Except as otherwise provided in Section B-3(c)(ii), all payments under this Section B-2 shall be in the form of lump sum, equal to the full balance of the Pre-AJCA DIP

	 	(B)	If the Pre-AJCA DIP Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for Gross Misconduct, the Company shall have sole discretion to determine the form in which his
Pre-AJCA DIP Account is paid.

Account as of June 30 of the applicable year divided by the number of annual installments remaining to be paid. A Pre-AJCA DIP Participant may change his election with respect to form of payment of his Pre-AJCA DIP Account only to the extent
permitted by and subject to such rules and procedures established by the Administration Committee as in effect on October 3, 2004.

	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE C-4









 
Distribution Period, if on the June 30 preceding his initial Ex-CAP Payment Date, the aggregate balances of a Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant’s

the date of his death. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if a Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant has elected pursuant to section 8.2 of the Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP to receive an interim distribution with respect to a participant account
established for calendar years 1995 and 1996, then, at any time, but at least one year prior to such interim distribution, he may elect to reduce such interim distribution payment.

	 	(A)	through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; 

  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE C-5

	 	(A)	in the case of a Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant employed or last employed by the Company at a salary grade below salary grade 24 (exclusive of an elected officer of the Company or an
80% Affiliate) and his Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator; and 

  

	 	(B)	in the case of a Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant employed or last employed by the Company at salary grade 24 or above or as an elected officer of the Company or an 80% Affiliate, and
their beneficiaries, the Administration Committee. 

  

	 	(iii)	To the extent permitted under ERISA, determinations made pursuant to this Section C-3(c) shall not be subject to the procedures established pursuant to Section 9.05 of the
Plan. 

  

	 	(d)	Ex-CAP Elective Distributions. As of the first day of any calendar month a Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant may elect, by writing filed with the Plan Administrator, to receive an

Ex-CAP Elective Distribution. 

  

	 	(e)	Ex-CAP Change in Control Distributions. In connection with, but prior to, a, Ex-CAP Change in Control, the Administration Committee, in its sole discretion, may authorize
distribution of Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Accounts in single lump sums. 

  

	C-4.	DISTRIBUTION OF PRE-AJCA EX-CAP ACCOUNTS TO BENEFICIARIES

Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Accounts will be distributed as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	If distribution has commenced prior to his death, annual installments shall continue to be distributed to his Beneficiary with respect to the Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Account during the

	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE C-6










	 	(ii)	If distribution has not commenced prior to his death, the applicable Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Account shall be distributed in annual installments commencing on the Ex-CAP Payment Date and
over the Ex-CAP Distribution Period elected by the deceased Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant with respect to that Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Account. 

  

	 	(b)	Beneficiary. A Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant’s Beneficiary shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Plan.

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Appendix C to the contrary, distributions of Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Accounts shall be subject to the “Section 162(m) Limitation” as in effect on October 3, 2004. This Section C-5 sets
forth the terms of such Section 162(m) Limitation. 
  

	 	(a)	Definitions. For purposes of this Section C-5— 

  

	 	(i)	“Ex-CAP Accounting Date” means each business day; provided that, with respect to any Ex-CAP Supplement A Individuals, “Ex-CAP Accounting Date” means the
last business day of each calendar quarter. 

  

	 	(ii)	“Ex-CAP Supplement A Individual” means (i) any individual who was a participant in the Ex-CAP as of December 31, 1999, and (ii) each beneficiary of a
deceased participant in the Ex-CAP who was eligible to receive a distribution from the Ex-CAP as of January 1, 2000. 

  

	 	(b)	Tentative Section 162(m) Determination. Prior to a Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant’s Ex-CAP Payment Date for any calendar year, the Administration Committee may, in its
discretion, make a tentative determination as to whether the sum of: 

  

	 	(i)	amounts otherwise distributable to the Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant from his Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Account under the Plan as of that Ex-CAP Payment Date; and 

  

	 	(ii)	all other compensation expected to be payable to the Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant and deductible by the Company for that calendar year; 

 will exceed the maximum deductible amount permitted with respect to the Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant for that calendar year by section 162(m) of the Code.
Based on the Administration Committee’s tentative decision, the provisions of Section C-5(c) or (d), as the case may be, shall become applicable with respect to the Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of
this Section C-5 shall not be applicable with respect to any distribution payable under this Appendix C during any calendar year following the calendar year in which an Ex-CAP Change in Control occurs. 
  

	 	(c)	 Tentative Determination Amount Not in Excess of 162(m) Limit. If the Administration Committee tentatively determines that the sum of the amounts described in
Section C-5(b)(i) and (b)(ii) payable to a Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP 



  

  

			
	MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION	 	2007 RESTATEMENT
	DEFERRED INCOME PLAN	 	PAGE C-7










	 	 
Participant for a calendar year will be fully deductible by the Company for that year, distribution from his Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Accounts shall be made to the
Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section C-3 as of his Ex-CAP Payment Date. 


  

	 	(d)	Tentative Determination Amount in Excess of 162(m) Limit. If the Administration Committee tentatively determines that the sum of the amounts described in Section C-5(b)(i)
and (b)(ii) payable to a Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant for a calendar year will not be fully deductible by the Company for that year, the Administration Committee may direct that all or any portion of the balances of his Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Accounts
otherwise distributable as of his Ex-CAP Payment Date for that calendar year be retained under the terms of the Plan, as modified by this Appendix C. However, during the month of December of that calendar year, the Administration Committee shall
make a final determination with respect to whether any portion of such retained amount will be fully deductible to the Company for that calendar year if distributed to the Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant and such portion that is fully deductible, if
any, shall be distributed to the Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Participant on or before that last day of that calendar year. Any such distribution shall be charged to the Participant’s Pre-AJCA Ex-CAP Account from which it was distributed as of the Ex-CAP
Accounting Date coincident with or next following the date of distribution.
