after the initial issuance of this Security without the consent of the Holder of this Security and without notifying the Holder of this Security. 

Discontinuance Of The Index; Alteration Of Method Of Calculation 

If the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index, and the Index Sponsor or another entity publishes a successor or
substitute equity index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Index (a “Successor Equity Index”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to the
Trustee and the Company, the Calculation Agent will substitute the Successor Equity Index as calculated by the relevant Index Sponsor or any other entity and calculate the Ending Level as described above. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent
of a Successor Equity Index, the Company will cause notice to be given to the Holder of this Security. 
 In the event that
the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing on, the Calculation Day and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Equity Index is available at such time, the Calculation Agent will
calculate a substitute Closing Level for the Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Index last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised the Index immediately prior to that
discontinuance. If a Successor Equity Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for the Index, the Successor Equity Index or level will be used as a substitute for the Index for all purposes, including the purpose
of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists. 
 If on the Calculation Day the Index Sponsor of the Index fails
to calculate and announce the level of the Index, the Calculation Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level of the Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Index last in effect prior to the failure, but using only
those securities that comprised the Index immediately prior to that failure; provided that, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such day, then the provisions set forth below under “–Market Disruption Events”
shall apply in lieu of the foregoing. 
 If at any time the Index Sponsor makes a material change in the formula for or the
method of calculating the Index, or in any other way materially modifies the Index (other than a 

  
 4 

 
modification prescribed in that formula or method to maintain the Index in the event of changes in constituent stock and capitalization and other routine events), then, from and after that time,
the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on each date that the Closing Level of the Index is to be calculated, calculate a substitute Closing Level of the Index in accordance with the formula for and method of
calculating the Index last in effect prior to the change, but using only those securities that comprised the Index immediately prior to that change. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index is modified so that the level of the Index is a
fraction or a multiple of what it would have been if it had not been modified, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Index in order to arrive at a level of the Index as if it had not been modified. 

Market Disruption Events 

A “Market Disruption Event” means any of (A), (B) or (C) below, as determined by the Calculation
Agent in its sole discretion: 
  

	 	(A)	 Any of the following events occurs or exists with respect to any security that is included in any Material Local Market Index and traded on the
Relevant Stock Exchange, and the aggregate of all such securities with respect to which any of the following events occurs or exists comprise 20% or more of the level of such Material Local Market Index: 

 

	 	•	 	 a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by the Relevant Stock Exchange or otherwise at any time during the one-hour period that
ends at the actual close of trading of the Regular Trading Session of the Relevant Stock Exchange on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the Relevant Stock Exchange or otherwise; 

 

	 	•	 	 any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions
in, or obtain market values for, such security on the Relevant Stock Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the actual close of trading of the Regular Trading Session of the Relevant Stock Exchange on that day; or

  

	 	•	 	 on any Exchange Business Day, the closure of the Regular Trading Session of the Relevant Stock Exchange prior to its scheduled closing time unless
the earlier closing time is announced by the Relevant Stock Exchange at least one hour prior to the earlier of (i) the actual close of trading of the Regular Trading Session of the Relevant Stock Exchange on that day and (ii) the
submission deadline for orders to be entered into the Relevant Stock Exchange system for execution at such actual close of trading. 

  

	 	(B)	 Any of the following events occurs or exists with respect to any Related Futures or Option Contract: 

 

	 	•	 	 a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by the Related 

  
 5 

	 	 
Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the actual close of trading of the Regular Trading Session of the Relevant Stock Exchange on that day,
whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the Related Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise; 

  

	 	•	 	 any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions
in, or obtain market values for, such Related Futures or Option Contract on the Related Futures or Options Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the actual close of trading of the Regular Trading Session of the Relevant Stock
Exchange on that day; or 

  

	 	•	 	 on any Exchange Business Day, the closure of the Regular Trading Session of the Related Futures or Options Exchange prior to the actual close of
trading of the Regular Trading Session of the Relevant Stock Exchange on that day. 

  

	 	(C)	 Any Relevant Stock Exchange or any Related Futures or Options Exchange fails to open for trading during its Regular Trading Session.

 For purposes of the definition of “Market Disruption Event”: 

 

	 	(1)	 the relevant percentage contribution of a security included in a Material Local Market Index to the level of such Material Local Market Index will
be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of such Material Local Market Index attributable to that security to (y) the overall level of such Material Local Market Index, in each case immediately before the occurrence of the
Market Disruption Event; 

  

	 	(2)	 on any Trading Day, the Relevant Stock Exchange with respect to a Related Futures or Option Contract relating to the Index is the Relevant Stock
Exchange that has the latest actual close of trading (in Greenwich mean time) of its Regular Trading Session on that Trading Day; and 

  

	 	(3)	 an “Exchange Business Day” means any Trading Day on which each Relevant Stock Exchange and each Related Futures or Options
Exchange is open for trading for its Regular Trading Session, notwithstanding any such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange closing prior to the scheduled closing time of such Regular Trading Session. 

If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on the Calculation Day, then the Calculation Day will be postponed to the first
succeeding Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event has not occurred and is not continuing; however, if such first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day after the originally scheduled Calculation Day, that eighth
Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Calculation Day. If the Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading Days after the originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such eighth Trading

  
 6 

 
Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Index on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of the Index
last in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event, using the closing price (or, with respect to any relevant security, if a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to such security, its good faith estimate of the value of
such security at the actual close of trading of the Regular Trading Session of the primary exchange or quotation system on which such security is traded) on such date of each security included in the Index. As used herein, “closing
price” means, with respect to any security on any date, the traded or quoted price of such security as of the actual close of trading on such date of the Regular Trading Session of the primary exchange or quotation system on which such
security is traded. 
 Calculation Agent 

The Calculation Agent will determine the Redemption Amount and the Ending Level. In addition, the Calculation Agent will
(i) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of the Index under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if publication of the Index is discontinued, select a Successor Equity Index or, if no Successor Equity
Index is available, determine the Closing Level of the Index under the circumstances described in this Security, and (iii) determine whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred. 

The Company covenants that, so long as this Security is Outstanding, there shall at all times be a Calculation Agent (which
shall be a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) with respect to this Security. 
 All determinations made by
the Calculation Agent with respect to this Security will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holder of this Security. All
percentages and other amounts resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded at the Calculation Agent’s discretion. 

Tax Considerations 

The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a beneficial ownership interest in this Security each Holder of this Security will be
deemed to have agreed (in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary), for United States federal income tax purposes to characterize and treat this Security as a pre-paid derivative contract in respect
of the Index. 
 Redemption and Repayment 

This Security is not subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior
to December 16, 2014. This Security is not entitled to any sinking fund. 
 Acceleration 

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to this Security shall occur and be continuing, the
Redemption Amount (calculated as set forth in the next sentence) of this Security may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the 

  
 7 

 
Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the Indenture will be equal to the Redemption Amount hereof calculated as provided herein as though the
date of acceleration was the Calculation Day. 
  

 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication
hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature or its duly authorized agent under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Indenture and subject to the limitations provided therein and to the limitations described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

 This Agreement dated as of June 24, 2013, by and between
PACKAGING CORPORATION OF AMERICA, having its principal place of business at 1955 West Field Court, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045 (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “PCA”), and Paul T. Stecko (“Mr. Stecko”). 

WHEREAS, Mr. Stecko will retire from his position as Executive Chairman of PCA and become the non-executive Chairman of the board of
directors of PCA effective December 30, 2013 (the “Retirement Date”). 
 WHEREAS, PCA desires that
Mr. Stecko provide services to PCA upon his retirement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein
contained, the parties do hereby agree: 
 1. Effective Date of this Agreement. Mr. Stecko is currently party to an
Employment Agreement, dated June 28, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”), with PCA. The Employment Agreement is hereby extended through the Retirement Date, on which date the Employment Agreement shall terminate. To the extent not
inconsistent herewith, those provisions that are intended to survive the termination of the Employment Agreement shall remain in force and effect after such termination. Except for Section 4 and Sections 9 through 16 (which are intended to take
effect on the date hereof), this Agreement shall take effect on the Retirement Date. 
 2. Duties. (a) Upon the
Retirement Date, Mr. Stecko will serve as non-executive chairman of the board of directors of PCA (the “Board”) and shall perform 

 
such responsibilities as are customarily associated with such position, including regularly attending and presiding over meetings of the Board, setting Board meeting schedules and agendas and
actively participating in all appropriate Board functions. Mr. Stecko further agrees to be considered for nomination as a director of PCA for any term that commences prior to the expiration of the Agreement, should PCA’s board of directors
determine to nominate him to serve for such term. It is hereby understood that this Agreement does not set forth any terms or conditions of service on PCA’s board of directors, which are otherwise determined by PCA’s board of directors

PCA arising out of Mr. Stecko’s employment with PCA. The parties acknowledge and agree that Mr. Stecko shall perform services under this Agreement only as an independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of PCA. 

3. Fees and Retention Incentive. 
 (a) Fees. From and after the Retirement Date, Mr. Stecko shall be paid fees of $978,516 per annum, payable in semimonthly installments consistent with PCA’s normal payment practices
(prorated for any partial month of service). Such fees are intended to 

  
 2 

 
compensate Mr. Stecko for service on the Board as well as for the services described in Section 2(b) hereof, and Mr. Stecko will not receive separate compensation for Board
service. Mr. Stecko shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with his performance of this Agreement. 
 (b) Retention Incentive. The following incentive will apply if Mr. Stecko completes two years of service as non-executive chairman of the Board and as otherwise provided under this Agreement.
On June 24, 2013, Mr. Stecko shall be granted by the PCA a restricted stock award under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1999 Long-term Equity Incentive Plan (i) for 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock,
(ii) to become vested on a cliff basis as provided in the Company’s restricted stock Agreement, subject to Mr. Stecko’s continued service to PCA under, and in compliance with, this Agreement (with service on the board after the
Expiration Data qualifying as services for purposes of the Restricted Stock), (iii) to be subject to full accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” of PCA prior to the Expiration Date or upon the death or
“Disability” (each, as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated 1999 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan) of Mr. Stecko prior to the Expiration Date, and (iv) with such other terms and conditions as are set forth in a
restricted stock award agreement consistent with the Company’s standard form of restricted stock award agreement used for other senior executives of the Company under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1999 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan.

 4. Restricted Stock and Stock Options. It is hereby understood that entry into, and performance of, this Agreement
will not result in the forfeiture of any restricted stock or stock options held by Mr. Stecko.

 5. No Benefits; Board Service. 

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 5, PCA and Mr. Stecko agree that the remuneration provided for in Section 3 shall
constitute the total compensation due for services hereunder and that no employee benefits of any kind will be provided except as due Mr. Stecko as a result of service as a PCA employee under PCA’s plans in which Mr. Stecko
participated. Mr. Stecko will not accrue additional benefits or service time as a result of the performance of this Agreement. 
 (b) Until the Retirement Date, Mr. Stecko shall receive the compensation and benefits payable under the Employment Agreement. It is hereby understood that Mr. Stecko shall be considered for a
2013 Performance Incentive Plan award on a similar basis as similarly participating executive officers of PCA at the time awarded by the compensation committee of PCA’s board of directors, consistent with the performance criteria established
for such award by the compensation committee. Mr. Stecko will not be entitled to receive annual cash incentive awards for periods after 2013. 
 (c) Mr. Stecko shall be provided with office space and administrative support as is reasonably necessary to the performance of his duties hereunder. 

6. Term. Unless earlier terminated by the mutual agreement of the parties, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
until December 31, 2015 (the “Expiration Date”). Either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time prior to the Expiration Date by delivering at least 90 days’ prior written notice to the other party. In the
event this Agreement is terminated by PCA pursuant to the previous sentence with effect prior to the Expiration Date, Mr. Stecko shall receive the fees pursuant to Section 3(a) through the Expiration Date. Unless terminated pursuant to
this Section 6, this Agreement will continue month-to-month after the Expiration Date.

 7. Confidential Information. Mr. Stecko acknowledges that the information,
observations and data (including without limitation trade secrets, know-how, research plans, business, accounting, distribution and sales methods and systems, manufacturing methods and systems, sales and profit figures and margins and other
technical or business information, business, marketing and sales plans and strategies, cost and pricing structures, and manufacturing techniques of PCA disclosed or otherwise revealed to him, or discovered or otherwise obtained by him or of which he
has become or becomes aware, directly or indirectly, while employed or otherwise acting for PCA, whether prior to the date of this Agreement as an employee, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) (all of the foregoing being collectively,
“Confidential Information”) are the property of PCA, and Mr. Stecko agrees that PCA has a protectable interest in such Confidential Information. Therefore, Mr. Stecko agrees that he shall not disclose to any person or use
for his own purposes any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of PCA, unless and only to the extent that the aforementioned matters: (a) become or are generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a
result of Mr. Stecko’s acts or omissions or (b) are required to be disclosed by judicial process or law (provided that Mr. Stecko shall give advance written notice of such requirement to PCA as soon as practicable under the
circumstances to enable PCA to seek an appropriate protective order or confidential treatment). PCA shall deliver to Mr. Stecko at any time that PCA may reasonably request all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts
and software and 

  
 5 

 
other documents and data (and copies thereof) which constitute Confidential Information or Work Product (as defined below) which he may then possess or have under his control. This Section 7
shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 8. Work Product. 

(a) Mr. Stecko hereby assigns to PCA all right, title and interest in and to all inventions, developments, methods, process, designs,
analyses, reports and all similar or related information (in each case whether or not patentable), all copyrightable works, all trade secrets, confidential information and know-how, and all other intellectual property rights that both (a) were
conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made by Mr. Stecko in the course of providing, the services provided hereunder and (b) either (i) relate to PCA’s business or (ii) are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or
made using any of the equipment, supplies, facilities, assets or resources of PCA (including but not limited to, any intellectual property rights) (“Work Product”). All Work Product prepared by Mr. Stecko shall be deemed to
have been prepared for PCA and shall be considered as works for hire and all rights and the copyrights therefor shall be owned by PCA. Mr. Stecko hereby assigns to PCA all rights, titles and interests in and to said copyrights in the United
States of America and elsewhere, including registration and publication rights, rights to create derivative works and all other rights which are incident to copyright ownership. 

(b) In the event any court holds such Work Product not to be works for hire, Mr. Stecko shall assign such creative works to PCA, at
its request, in consideration of the fees paid to Mr. Stecko hereunder. Mr. Stecko shall promptly at PCA’s sole cost and expense perform all actions reasonably requested by PCA to establish and confirm PCA’s

  
 6 

 
ownership of the Work Product (including, without limitation, executing and delivering assignments, consents, powers of attorney, applications and other instruments). This Section 8(b) shall
survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 9. Noncompetition. Mr. Stecko agrees that, for the period commencing
on the date hereof and ending on the later of (a) December 31, 2015; and (b) the date of termination of this Agreement (the “Noncompete Period”), he shall not, directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or
otherwise) own or hold any interest in, manage, operate, control, consult with, render services for, or in any manner participate in the business of manufacturing, marketing, designing, distributing or selling containerboard (including, without
limitation, linerboard and corrugating medium) or corrugated containers, displays or products (collectively, and each individually, being the “Business”) or any business competitive with the Business in the United States or in any
locale of any other country in which PCA conducts the Business, whether as a general or limited partner, proprietor, common or preferred equityholder, officer, director, agent, employee, consultant, trustee, affiliate or otherwise. Nothing in this
Section 9 shall prohibit Mr. Stecko from (i) being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding securities of any publicly traded company engaged in the Business, so long as Mr. Stecko has no active participation
in the business of such company or (ii) serving on any boards of directors of companies on which he currently serves, consistent with the requirements of law and PCA’s polices applicable to PCA directors. 

10. Non-Solicitation. During the Noncompete Period, Mr. Stecko shall not directly or indirectly through another entity
(i) induce or attempt to induce any employee 

  
 7 

 
of PCA, or any of their respective affiliates to leave the employ of PCA or any of its affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between PCA or any of its affiliates and any
employee thereof, (ii) solicit to hire any person who, at anytime during the Noncompete Period, was an employee of PCA or any of its affiliates or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, developer, client, member, supplier,
licensee, licensor, broker, sales agent, franchisee or other business relation of PCA or any of its affiliates to cease doing business with PCA or any of its affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer,
developer, client, member, supplier, licensee, licensor, broker, sales agent, franchisee or business relation and PCA or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, making any negative statements or communications about PCA or its
affiliates). 
 11. Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of any of Sections 7 through 10, a court of
competent jurisdiction shall hold that the period, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall
be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by applicable law. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that Mr. Stecko has had access to Confidential Information and Work Product, that the provisions of Sections 7 through 10 are necessary, reasonable and appropriate for the business interests of the PCA, that irreparable injury
will result to PCA if Mr. Stecko breaches any of the provisions of Sections 7 through 10 and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy therefor and that PCA will not have 

  
 8 

 
any adequate remedy at law for any such breach. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, PCA
shall be entitled to specific performance and/or immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing actual
money damages, or posting a bond or other security). Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting PCA or any of its successors or assigns from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including
the recovery of damages. 
 12. Mr. Stecko’s Representations and Acknowledgements. Mr. Stecko hereby
represents and warrants to PCA that (i) Mr. Stecko is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement, nonsolicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person that, in each case would conflict
with, or otherwise adversely affect Mr. Stecko’s ability to perform, this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Mr. Stecko, enforceable against Mr. Stecko in accordance with its
terms. Mr. Stecko hereby acknowledges and represents that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein and intends for such terms and conditions to be binding on and enforceable against him. Mr. Stecko expressly agrees
and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 7 through 10 do not preclude Mr. Stecko from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Mr. Stecko’s ability to earn a living.
Mr. Stecko acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Mr. Stecko by this Agreement, and is in full accord as to the

  
 9 

 
necessity of such restraints. Mr. Stecko expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period
and geographical area.
