may be made to a special purpose entity and, in turn, transferred by such special purpose entity), which transfer is funded in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the incurrence or issuance
by the transferee or any successor transferee of Indebtedness or securities that are to receive payments from, or that represent interests in, the cash flow derived from such MBI Receivables, or
(b) by Smurfit MBI directly to one or more investors or other purchasers (provided that such transfer by Smurfit MBI may be made to a special purpose entity and, in turn, transferred by such
special purpose entity). 

        'Smurfit
MBI' shall mean Smurfit-MBI, a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Canadian province of Ontario."

"Notwithstanding
the foregoing, only the sale or transfer of MBI Receivables by Smurfit MBI in connection with the initial MBI Securitization Transaction (and any subsequent sale or transfer of MBI
Receivables by Smurfit MBI that results in an increase in the aggregate outstanding amount of any related Indebtedness or securities or in the aggregate outstanding amount of the MBI Receivables so
sold or transferred) shall be deemed to be an Asset Sale." 

        (c)   The
definition of the term "Consolidated EBITDA" is hereby amended by inserting the following new sentence at the end thereof: 

"In
addition, without duplication, and solely for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.14 and 7.15 for any period, Antitrust Litigation Charges shall be added to Consolidated Net Income
in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for such period; provided that to the extent not otherwise deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income for such period, any
cash payments made pursuant to the Antitrust Litigation Settlement or otherwise in respect of the Antitrust Litigation Charges shall be deducted from Consolidated Net Income for purposes of

        AMENDMENT
NO. 3 dated as of December 23, 2003 (this "Amendment"), to the AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of July 25, 2002 (as
amended by Amendment No. 1 and Waiver dated as of March 10, 2003 and Amendment No. 2 dated as of November 11, 2003, the "Credit Agreement"),
among STONE CONTAINER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Stone"), SMURFIT-STONE CONTAINER CANADA INC., a corporation continued under the Companies Act (Nova
Scotia) ("SSC Canada" and, together with Stone, the "Borrowers"), the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"),
JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, a New York banking corporation, as agent for the Lenders (an "Agent"), DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, a New York banking corporation, as agent
for the Lenders (an "Agent"), as collateral agent for the Lenders, as administrative agent for the Lenders (the "Administrative Agent"), as
swingline lender (the "Swingline Lender") and as Revolving Facility Facing Agent, and DEUTSCHE BANK AG, CANADA BRANCH, an authorized foreign bank permitted to carry on
business in Canada and listed in Schedule III of the Bank Act (Canada), as Canadian administrative agent for the Lenders and as Revolving (Canadian) Facility Facing Agent (together with the
Revolving Facility Facing Agent, the "Facing Agents"). 

        A.    Pursuant
to the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Credit Agreement, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Facing Agents have extended, and have
agreed to extend, credit to the Borrowers. 

        B.    The
Borrowers have informed the Lenders that they intend to form a new Nova Scotia unlimited liability company ("NSULC"), which will
be a wholly owned Canadian Subsidiary. An existing wholly owned Canadian Subsidiary, 605681 NB, Inc. ("605861"), will own 100% of the equity interests in NSULC, and
NSULC will, in turn, own 50% of the equity interests in MBI Limited/Limitee, a New Brunswick company ("MBI Limited"). The remaining 50% of the equity interests in MBI
Limited will continue to be owned by SSC Canada. The transactions described in this paragraph B shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as the "NSULC
Transaction". 

        C.    The
Borrowers have requested that the Required Lenders agree to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement as set forth in this Amendment and in connection with the
NSULC Transaction. The Required Lenders are willing so to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 

        D.    Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. 

1

 

        Accordingly,
in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows: 

        SECTION
1.    Amendment of
Section 1.01.    Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new definitions in the
appropriate alphabetical order therein: 

        "NSULC"
shall mean a newly formed Nova Scotia unlimited liability company. 

        "605861
N.B. Inc." shall mean 605861 N.B. Inc., a New Brunswick company." 

        SECTION
2.    Amendment of
Section 7.17.    Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows: 

        "SECTION
7.17.    Fiscal Year.    Cause its fiscal year to end on a date other than December 31;
provided, however, that NSULC and 605861 N.B. Inc. shall be permitted to have a fiscal year ending on November 30." 

        SECTION
3.    Representations and Warranties.    To induce the other parties hereto to
enter into this Amendment, each of the Borrowers represents and warrants to each other party hereto that, after giving effect to this Amendment, (a) the representations and warranties set forth
in Article IV of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and
warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

        SECTION
4.    Effectiveness.    This Amendment shall become effective on the date that
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the Required Lenders and each of the Borrowers. 

        SECTION
5.    Effect of Amendment.    Except as expressly set forth herein, this
Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Facing Agents, the Swingline Lender or the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms,
conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force
and effect.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrowers to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements
contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit
Agreement specifically referred to herein. After the date hereof, any reference to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement, as 

2

 

modified
hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

        SECTION
6.    Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts constitute but one and the
same instrument. Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 

        SECTION
7.    Applicable Law.    THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

        SECTION
