Restricted Shares at such time, if any, as such rights become exercisable.”Amendment to the Westvaco Corporation

 MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION 
 Amendments to the 
 MeadWestvaco Corporation Executive Retirement Plan 
 The MeadWestvaco Corporation Executive Retirement Plan (the “MERP”) is hereby amended, as set forth below. 
 1. Effective for individuals who are Active Participants in the Executive Retirement Plan on or after September 1, 2006: 
 a. Section 1.04(b) of the MERP is amended to state “Appendix B lists individuals who became participants in the Plan on
January 29, 2004.”

is deleted, the remainder of the Section 2.01 is renumbered, and cross-references within the Plan are updated accordingly. 
 c. Section 2.01(ii) of the MERP (definition of “Years of Plan Benefit Service”) is amended to state as follows: 
  

	 	(ii)	“Years of Plan Benefit Service” shall mean a Participant’s Years of Benefit Service, except that a Participant’s Years of Plan Benefit Service shall not
exceed the number determined by subtracting 30 from his age (in years and completed months) on the date he commenced employment with the Employer or an Affiliate, and provided that a Participant who becomes an Inactive Participant and does not
subsequently become an Active Participant shall not accrue Years of Benefit Service for the period after he ceased to be an Active Participant. 

 d. Section 2.01(jj) of the MERP (definition of “Years of Plan Service”) is deleted and the remainder of Section 2.01
is renumbered accordingly.

	 	(2)	equals the total amount determined to be payable to the Participant under the Qualified Plans, expressed as an annual amount payable as a single-life annuity beginning on the first
day of the month coincident with or next following his termination of employment with the Employer and Affiliates, but not including any restructuring or other supplemental benefits payable to the Participant under such Qualified Plans, and
determined using the interest rate and mortality assumptions applicable under the Qualified Plan for purposes of converting the Participant’s cash balance benefit, if any, under that Qualified Plan to a single-life annuity.

409A of the Code or other applicable law as a result of such acceleration. By way of example, payment may be accelerated to the extent necessary to pay Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes under Sections 3101, 3121(a), and 3121(v)(2) of
