    Amendment
to

     

    Appleton Papers Retirement
Plan

     

    

     

    The
Appleton Papers Inc. Retirement Plan, as amended through December 5, 2007 (the
“Plan”), is hereby further amended as set forth below:

     

    1. Article
14 is amended by substituting the word “Compensation” for the word “Earnings”
each place it appears therein, and by amending section 14.01(b)(5) thereof to
read as follows, with effect from the first Limitation Year commencing after
July 1, 2007:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (5)

            	
              Compensation:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              “Compensation”
      for any Limitation Year means wages, salaries, and fees for professional
      services and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an
      amount is paid in cash) for personal services actually rendered in the
      course of employment with the Company or an Affiliate to the extent that
      the amounts are includible in gross income (including, but not limited to,
      commissions paid to salesmen, compensation for services on the basis of a
      percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses,
      fringe benefits, reimbursements and expenses allowances), and excluding
      the following:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              employer
      contributions to a plan of deferred compensation which are not includible
      in the employee’s gross income for the taxable year in which contributed,
      or employer contributions under a simplified employee pension plan to the
      extent such contributions are deductible by the employee, or any
      distributions from a plan of deferred
  compensation;

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
              amounts
      realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, or when
      restricted stock (or property) held by the employee either becomes freely
      transferrable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of
      forfeiture;

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iii)

            	
              amounts
      realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired
      under a qualified stock option; and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iv)

            	
              other
      amounts which receive special tax benefits, or contributions made by the
      employer (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) toward the
      purchase of an annuity described in Section 403(b) of the Code, (whether
      or not the amounts are actually excludable from the gross income of the
      employee).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              For
      years commencing on and after January 1, 1989, Compensation shall be
      limited to the first $200,000 of Compensation (as such amount may be
      adjusted from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury in a manner
      similar to §415(d) of the Code), except the first adjustment to the
      $200,000 limitation shall be effected on January 1, 1990; and for each
      Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, such limitation shall be
      $150,000 ($160,000, effective January 1, 1997), as adjusted. If the Plan
      determines Compensation on a period of time that contains fewer than
      twelve calendar months, then the limitation on Compensation is an amount
      equal to the annual Compensation limit for the calendar year in which the
      Compensation period begins multiplied by the ratio obtained by dividing
      the number of full months in the period by twelve. Prior to January 1,
      1997, in determining the Compensation of a Participant for purposes of
      this limitation, the rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall apply,
      except in applying such rules, the term “family” shall include only the
      Spouse of a Participant and any lineal descendants of the Participant who
      have not attained age 19 before the close of the Plan Year. If, as a
      result of the application of such rules, the adjusted limitation is
      exceeded, then the limitation shall be prorated among the affected
      individuals in proportion to each such individual’s Compensation as
      determined under this Section 14.01(b)(5) prior to the application of the
      limitation. Effective January 1, 1997, such family aggregation rules shall
      not apply. Effective for Plan Limitation Years beginning on or after
      January 1, 1998, “Compensation” for purposes of this Section 14.01(b)(5)
      shall include any elective deferral (as defined in Section 402(g)(3) of
      the Code), any amount which is contributed to or deferred by the Employer
      at the election of the Employee and which is not includible in the gross
      income of the Employee by reason of Section 125 or 457 of the Code, and,
      effective January 1, 2000, any elective amounts that are not includible in
      the gross income of the Employee by reason of Section 132(f) of the
      Code.

            

    

     

    (C)           Compensation timing
rules.

    

    (i)           General:  In
order to be taken into account for a Limitation Year, Compensation within the
meaning of section 415(c)(3) must be (i) actually paid or made available to a
Participant (or, if earlier, includible in the gross income of the Participant)
within the Limitation Year, and (ii) except as provided in clause (ii) below,
paid or treated as paid to the Participant prior to the Participant's severance
from employment. Any payment that is not described in this clause (i) or clause
(ii) below is not considered Compensation if paid after severance from
employment. Thus, Compensation does not include severance pay, or parachute
payments within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2), if they are paid after
severance from employment, and does not include post-severance payments under a
nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan unless the payments would have
been paid at that time without regard to the severance from
employment.

     

    (ii)           Compensation
paid after severance from employment.
Provided that payment is actually made by the later of 2 1⁄2 months after
severance from employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the
date of severance from employment, the following amounts are included in
Compensation:  (1) regular compensation paid after severance
from employment for services during the Participant's regular working hours, and
compensation for services outside the Participant's regular working hours (such
as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar
payments; provided
that the payment would have been paid to the Participant prior to a severance
from employment if the Participant had continued in employment with the Company,
and (2) payment for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation, or other leave, but
only if the Participant would have been able to use the leave if employment had
continued.

     

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iii)

            	
              Salary
      continuation payments for military service or disability. The rule of clause
      (ii)(1) above shall not apply to: (1) payments to an individual who does
      not currently perform services for the Company by reason of qualified
      military service (as defined in Code §414(u)(1)) to the extent those
      payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if
      the individual had continued to perform services for the Company rather
      than entering qualified military service, or (2) payments made to an
      Participant who is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code §
      22(e)(3)).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iv)

            	
              Interaction
      with Code §417(a)(17). The definition of Compensation for a Plan
      Year that is used for purposes of applying the limitations of Code §415
      shall not reflect Compensation for such year that is in excess of the
      limitation under Code §401(a)(17) that applies to that Plan
      Year.”

            

    

     

    2. Except as
set forth above, the Plan is ratified and confirmed in its
entirety.

    RESOLUTIONS

    OF THE
BENEFIT FINANCE COMMITTEE

    OF
APPLETON PAPERS INC.

     

    The
Appleton Papers Inc. Retirement Plan, as amended through September 4, 2009 (the
“Plan”), is hereby further amended as set forth below:

     

    1. Article
7 is amended by adding the following provisions, to be identified as Section
7.14:

     

    7.14           Funding-Based Limits on
Benefits and Benefit Accruals.

    

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              General.  The
      purpose of this Section 7.14 is to comply with the requirements of Code
      §436.  Terms used in this Section 1.04 shall in all events be
      defined and interpreted, to the extent not set forth herein, by reference
      to Code §436 and regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasury
      thereunder.  The application of the Code §436 limitations may be
      avoided or terminated in accordance with any of the rules set forth in
      Code §436 and Treas. Reg.
§1.436-1(f).

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Funding
      Based Limitations on Unpredictable Contingent Event
      Benefits.  If a participant is entitled to an
      unpredictable contingent event benefit payable with respect to any event
      occurring during any Plan Year, such benefit may not be provided if the
      adjusted funding target attainment percentage for such Plan Year (i) is
      less than 60 percent, or (ii) would be less than 60 percent taking into
      account such occurrence.  This subsection (b) shall cease to
      apply with respect to any Plan Year, effective as of the first day of the
      Plan Year, upon payment by the Company of a contribution (in addition to
      any minimum required contribution under Code §430) equal to (A) in the
      case of clause (i), the amount of the increase in the funding target of
      the Plan (under Code §430) for the Plan Year attributable to such
      occurrence, and (B) in the case of clause (ii), the amount sufficient to
      result in an adjusted funding target attainment percentage of 60
      percent.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              Limitations
      on Amendments Increasing Liability for Benefits.  No
      amendment which has the effect of increasing liabilities of the Plan by
      reason of increases in benefits, establishment of new benefits, changing
      the rate of benefit accrual, or changing the rate at which benefits become
      nonforfeitable may take effect during any Plan Year if the adjusted
      funding target attainment percentage for such Plan Year (i) is less than
      60 percent, or (ii) would be less than 60 percent taking into account such
      occurrence.  This subsection (c) shall cease to apply with
      respect to any Plan Year, effective as of the first day of the Plan Year
      (or if later, the effective date of the amendment), upon payment by the
      Plan sponsor of a contribution (in addition to any minimum required
      contribution under Code §430) equal to (A) in the case of clause (i),
      the amount of the increase in the funding target of the Plan (under Code
      §430) for the Plan Year attributable to the amendment, and (B) in the case
      of clause (ii), the amount sufficient to result in an adjusted funding
      target attainment percentage of 80 percent.  This subsection (c)
      shall not apply to any amendment which provides for an increase in
      benefits under a formula which is not based on a participant's
      compensation, but only if the rate of such increase is not in excess of
      the contemporaneous rate of increase in average wages of participants
      covered by the amendment.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (d)

            	
              Limitations
      on Accelerated Benefit
Distributions.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              In
      any case in which the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage
      for a Plan Year is less than 60 percent, the Plan may not pay any
      prohibited payment after the valuation date for the Plan
    Year.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              During
      any period in which the Company is a debtor in a case under title 11,
      United States Code, or similar Federal or State law, the Plan may not pay
      any prohibited payment.  The preceding sentence shall not apply
      on or after the date on which the enrolled actuary of the Plan certifies
      that the adjusted funding target attainment percentage of the Plan is not
      less than 100 percent.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              In
      any case in which the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage
      for a Plan Year is 60 percent or greater but less than 80 percent, the
      Plan may not pay any prohibited payment after the valuation date for the
      Plan Year to the extent the amount of the payment exceeds the lesser of
      (i) 50 percent of the amount of the payment which could be made without
      regard to this section, or (ii) the present value (determined under
      guidance prescribed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, using the
      interest and mortality assumptions under Code §417(e)) of the maximum
      guarantee with respect to the participant under section 4022 of the
      Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  Only 1
      prohibited payment meeting the requirements of this paragraph
      (3)  may be made with respect to any participant during any
      period of consecutive Plan Years to which the limitations under either
      paragraph (1) or (2) or this paragraph applies.   For
      purposes of this paragraph (3), a participant and any beneficiary on his
      behalf (including an alternate payee, as defined in Code §414(p)(8)) shall
      be treated as 1 participant.  If the accrued benefit of a
      participant is allocated to such an alternate payee and 1 or more other
      persons, the amount under this paragraph (3) shall be allocated among such
      persons in the same manner as the accrued benefit is allocated unless the
      qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code §414(p)(1)(A))
      provides otherwise.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (e)

            	
              Limitation
      on Benefit Accruals (Severe Funding Shortfall).  In any
      case in which the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for
      a Plan Year is less than 60 percent, benefit accruals under the Plan shall
      cease as of the valuation date for the Plan Year.  This
      subsection (e) shall cease to apply with respect to any Plan Year,
      effective as of the first day of the Plan Year, upon payment by the
      Company of a contribution (in addition to any minimum required
      contribution under Code §430) equal to the amount sufficient to result in
      an adjusted funding target attainment percentage of 60
      percent.

            

    

    

    2. Section
7.04 is amended by adding the following provision, to be identified as
subsection (c):

     

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (c)

            	
              Benefit Payments in
      Event of Funding-Based Limitations.  If an optional form
      of benefit that is otherwise available under the terms of the Plan is not
      available to a participant as of the annuity starting date because of the
      application of Treas. Reg. §1.436-1(d)(3)(i), then the affected
      participant or beneficiary may elect to:  (1) receive the
      unrestricted portion of that optional form of benefit (determined under
      the rules of Treas. Reg. §1.436-1(d)(3)(iii)(D)) at that annuity starting
      date, determined by treating the unrestricted portion of the benefit as if
      it were the participant's or beneficiary's entire benefit under the Plan;
      (2) commence benefits with respect to the participant's or beneficiary's
      entire benefit under the Plan in any other optional form of benefit
      available under the Plan at the same annuity starting date that satisfies
      Treas. Reg. §1.436-1(d)(3)(i); or (3) defer commencement of the payments
      to the extent described in Treas. Reg.
  §1.436-1(d)(5).

            

    

     

    3. Section
4.09 is amended by identifying the current provision thereof as subsection (a),
and by including the following provisions, to be identified as subsection (b)
and (c) respectively:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              In
      the case of a death or disability occurring on or after January 1, 2007,
      if a participant dies while performing qualified military service (as
      defined in Code Section 414(u)), the survivors of the participant are
      entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating
      to the period of qualified military service) provided under the Plan as if
      the participant had resumed and then terminated employment on account of
      death.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (c)

            	
              For
      years beginning after December 31, 2008, (i) an individual receiving a
      differential wage payment, as defined by Code Section 3401(h)(2), shall be
      treated as an employee of the Company, (ii) the differential wage payment
      shall be treated as compensation, and (iii) the Plan shall not be treated
      as failing to meet the requirements of any provision described in Code
      Section 414(u)(1)(C) by reason of any contribution or benefit which is
      based on the differential wage
payment.

            

    

    

    4. Section
7.13 is amended by adding the following sentence at the end of subsection (a)
thereof:

     

    For
distributions after December 31, 2009, a non-spouse beneficiary who is a
“designated beneficiary” may roll over, through a direct rollover, all or any
portion of his or her distribution to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) the
non-spouse beneficiary establishes for purposes of receiving the distribution,
provided such distribution satisfies the definition of eligible rollover
distribution.

     

    5. Section 7.01 is amended by revising
the first clause of the first sentence to read as follows:  “No
less than 30 days and, effective January 1, 2007, no more than 180
days,”

     

    6. Sections
7.04 and 7.05 are amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     

    7.04           Election of Optional Forms
of Payment.

     

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              A
      married Participant may elect to receive a Retirement Pension payable in
      the optional form described in Section 7.05 instead of a Qualified Joint
      and Surviving Spouse Annuity. The benefits payable under such optional
      form will be reduced in accordance with Section 1.02 or 1.03 of Appendix A
      (whichever applies) so as to be the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefits
      otherwise payable in the normal form described in Section
      7.01.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Except
      as modified under Section 7.02, any election of an optional form of
      payment described in Section 7.05 must be in writing on a form prescribed
      by the Plan Administrator and shall become effective on the later of the
      Participant’s Pension Commencement Date and thirty (30) days following his
      receipt of the notice described in Section 7.02, and may be revoked at any
      time prior to the Pension Commencement
Date.

            

    

     

    7.05           75% or 100% Surviving Spouse
Option.

     

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              The
      75% or 100% surviving spouse option will provide a reduced monthly amount
      of Retirement Pension for the lifetime of the Participant and, at the time
      of the Participant’s death, for the continuance of 75% or 100% of such
      reduced monthly amount to the Participant’s Spouse, to be paid for the
      remainder of the Spouse’s lifetime, provided that such Spouse was married
      to the Participant on his Pension Commencement
  Date.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              With
      respect to the 100% Surviving Spouse Option, if a Participant other than
      (1) a Participant who has provided the Plan Administrator with a
      certificate of good health as of such Participant’s Pension Commencement
      Date, by a doctor satisfactory to the Plan Administrator, or (2) a
      Participant who dies of accidental causes, dies within three (3) years
      after his Pension Commencement Date, such election shall be null and void
      as to any Beneficiary or the Participant’s estate and the Participant’s
      Spouse (if any) shall receive the benefit that would have been payable to
      the survivor under the Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity form
      had no election been made
hereunder.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              If
      the Participant’s Spouse dies before his Pension Commencement Date, the
      Participant’s election of this option shall be null and void. If the
      Spouse dies before the Participant but after the Participant’s Pension
      Commencement Date no benefits will be payable under this option upon the
      death of the Participant, but the Participant’s Retirement Pension shall
      continue to be payable to him during his life in the reduced amount
      provided under the option.

            

    

     

    7. Section

renumbered, references to Section 14.08 are changed to 14.07 and references to
Section 14.07 are deleted.

     

    8. Section

    9. Section
15.10 is amended by deleting paragraph (2) of subsection (a) and by renumbering
paragraph (3) as paragraph (2).

     

    10. APPENDIX
A, is amended by restating Section 1.05 in its entirety, to read as
follows:

     

    
      	
              1.05

            	
              Small
      Benefits.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              Effective
      date.  Except as
      provided by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) and IRS, the
      limitations of this Section 1.05 shall first apply in determining the
      amount payable to a Participant having an annuity starting date in a Plan
      Year beginning on or after January 1,
2008.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Applicable
      interest rate.  For purposes of the Plan's provisions
      relating to the calculation of the present value of a benefit payment that
      is subject to Code Section 417(e), as well as any other Plan provision
      referring directly or indirectly to the "applicable interest rate" or
      "applicable mortality table" used for purposes of Code Section 417(e), any
      provision prescribing the use of the annual rate of interest on 30-year
      U.S. Treasury securities shall be implemented by instead using the rate of
      interest determined by applicable interest rate described by Code Section
      417(e) after its amendment by PPA.  Specifically, the applicable
      interest rate shall be the adjusted first, second, and third segment rates
      applied under the rules similar to the rules of Code Section 430(h)(2)(C)
      for the calendar month (lookback month) before the first day of the Plan
      Year in which the annuity starting date occurs (stability
      period).  For this purpose, the first, second, and third segment
      rates are the first, second, and third segment rates which would be
      determined under Code Section 430(h)(2)(C) if:  (1) Code
      §430(h)(2)(D) were applied by substituting the average yields for the
      month described in the preceding paragraph for the average yields for the
      24-month period described in such section; (2) Code §430(h)(2)(G)(i)(II)
      were applied by substituting "Section 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II) for "Section
      412(b)(5)(B)(ii)(II);" and (3) the applicable percentage under Code
      §430(h)(2)(G) is treated as being 20% in 2008, 40% in 2009, 60% in 2010,
      and 80% in 2011.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              Applicable
      mortality assumption.  For purposes of the Plan's
      provisions relating to the calculation of the present value of a benefit
      payment that is subject to Code §417(e), as well as any other Plan
      provision referring directly or indirectly to the "applicable interest
      rate," any provision directly or indirectly prescribing the use of the
      mortality table described in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 shall be amended to
      prescribe the use of the applicable annual mortality table within the
      meaning of Code §417(e)(3)(B), as initially described in Revenue Ruling
      2007-67.

            

    

    

    11. Except
as set forth above, the Plan is ratified and confirmed in its
entirety.

     

    IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned members of the Committee, constituting the
majority thereof, have caused the above amendments and resolutions to be adopted
this 30th day of December, 2009, and direct that they be placed with the minutes
of the Committee.

      shall serve without compensation for their services as such

                No

      provided, that no member of the Committee shall participate in any

      and deliver any instrument, certificate or other paper or document on its
      behalf.
