 Description of Executive Officer Compensation 
  
 For 2005 
  
 Annual Cash Compensation 
  
 Base Salary- Set forth below are the 2005 base salaries of the Chief Executive Officer and each of the four most highly compensated executive officers (the named executive officers). 
  

				
	 John A. Luke, Jr.
	  	$	985,000
	 James A. Buzzard
	  	$	654,000
	 E. Mark Rajkowski
	  	$	550,008
	 Wendell L. Willkie, II
	  	$	441,000
	 Mark T. Watkins
	  	$	433,850

  
 Annual Incentive
Compensation- The named executive officers are eligible for annual performance-based awards under the company’s Annual and Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). For 2005, goals will be weighted as follows:

  

				
	 1. Financial
	  	 	 
	 A. Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)
	  	60	%
	 B. Working Capital as a percent of sales
	  	35	%
	 2. Safety (measured by total case incident rate)
	  	5	%

  
 The minimum payout under the Annual
portion of the Incentive Plan for the 2005 calendar year is determined by plan formula and could be 0% of the participant’s target payout. The maximum award possible under the Annual portion of the Incentive Plan is 200% of the
participant’s target payout. The individual annual target amount for each of our senior executive officers ranges from 55-110% of salary, which amount is payable in a lump sum. 
  
 Long-Term Incentive Compensation- The named executive officers also are eligible for long-term performance awards under the
Incentive Plan and the company’s Restricted Stock Plan. Under the Long-Term portion of the Incentive Plan and the Restricted Stock Plan, the Committee established a three year performance period beginning January 1, 2005 and ending December 31,
2007 (the “Performance Period”), with the following performance objectives and assigned the weightings set forth below. 

				
	 1. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
	  	40	%
		
	 2. Key Performance Objectives
	  	 	 
	 Reduction in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses as a percent of sales
	  	20	%
	 Total procurement savings (net of inflation)
	  	20	%
	 Revenue from New Products (with increased product margins)
	  	20	%

  
 This Long-Term Award, including
restricted stock, is subject to (i) a three-year vesting restriction expiring on the third anniversary of the grant date (February 22, 2005) and (ii) the satisfaction of the performance objectives during the Performance Period. The minimum long-term
payout under the plans is zero. If threshold criteria are achieved, payment can be 50% of the participant’s target. The maximum long-term award possible under the plans is 150% of the participant’s target payout. The total potential
Long-Term Award would be payable one-third in cash (under the Long-Term portion of the Incentive Plan) and two-thirds in restricted stock. The individual aggregate long-term target amounts for our named executive officers range from 150-450% of
salary. Long-Term Awards (including cash and stock portions) are subject to Committee review and exercise of negative discretion. Long-Term Awards would be payable in 2008.MeadWestvaco Corporation Retirement Restoration Plan Effective January 1, 2003

 ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION 
  
 1.01. HISTORY OF THE PLAN

benefit of certain of their employees: 

  

	 	(1)	The Mead Corporation Section 415 Excess Benefit Plan, which was a defined benefit plan designed to supplement the amount of any pension payable to or on account of any employee or
former employee of the Mead Corporation or certain of its affiliates from the Mead Retirement Plan to the extent that such employee’s or former employee’s pension from the Mead Retirement Plan was limited as a result of section 415 of the
Internal Revenue Code. 

  

	 	(2)	The Mead Corporation Excess Earnings Benefit Plan, which was a defined benefit plan designed to supplement the amount of benefits payable to or on account of any employee or former
employee of the Mead Corporation or certain of its subsidiaries from the Mead Corporation retirement and pension plans to the extent that such benefits were limited as a result of section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code.

  

	 	(3)	The Westvaco Corporation Retirement Income Restoration Plan, which was a defined benefit plan designed to supplement the amount of benefits payable to or on account of any employee
or former employee of Westvaco Corporation or certain of its subsidiaries from the Westvaco Corporation retirement and pension plans to the extent that such benefits were limited as a result of section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code.

  

	 	(4)	The Westvaco Corporation Excess Benefit Plan, which as a combination defined benefit and defined contribution plan designed to supplement the amount of benefits payable to or on
account of any employee or former employee of Westvaco Corporation or certain of its subsidiaries from the Westvaco Corporation retirement and pension plans and/or the Westvaco Corporation Savings and Investment Plan for Salaried Employees to the
extent that such benefits were limited as a result of section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code. 

  

	(b)	Effective January 1, 2003, all or portions of the Mead Corporation Section 415 Excess Benefit Plan, the Mead Corporation Excess Earnings Benefit Plan, the Westvaco Corporation
Retirement Income Restoration Plan and the Westvaco Corporation Excess Benefit Plan (the “Predecessor Plans”) were merged into the MeadWestvaco Corporation Retirement Restoration Plan (the “Plan”). With respect to participants
whose benefits were transferred to the Plan as a result of the merger, the accrued benefits and liabilities in the Predecessor Plans immediately before the merger became accrued benefits and liabilities under this Plan immediately after the merger.
To the extent required by the plan documents for the Predecessor Plans, the accrued benefits under the Predecessor Plans that were transferred to this Plan shall not be reduced as a result of the transfer.

deferred compensation to a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), or 401(a)(1) of ERISA.

 ARTICLE 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 7.01. EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS NOT AFFECTED BY PLAN

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan document or any trust agreement and the terms of any such booklets, brochures, and presentations summarizing the Plan, the terms of the Plan document and any trust agreement shall control.

  
 7.03. LIABILITY LIMITED 
  
 Except as and to the extent otherwise provided by applicable law, no liability shall attach
to or be incurred by the shareholders, directors, officers, or employees of the Company 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.

  
 7.04. OVERPAYMENTS 
  
 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 account of the person who received the overpayment until the overpayment has been recovered. The foregoing remedy is not intended to be exclusive. 
  
 7.05. INCAPACITY AND MINOR
STATUS 
  
 If any person 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 person may be paid, for the benefit of such person, to his spouse,
parent, brother, sister, or other person deemed by the Plan Administrator to have incurred expenses for such person. Such payment, to the extent thereof, shall discharge all liability for such payment under the Plan. 
  
 7.06. ASSIGNMENT AND LIENS 
  

	(a)	Subject to Section 7.06(b), 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)	Section 7.06(a) shall not apply to payments made pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order applicable to this Plan. Any domestic relations order shall be subject to the terms
of the applicable Basic Pension Plan with respect to such orders. 

  
 7.07. WITHHOLDING TAXES 
  
 The
Plan Administrator may make any appropriate arrangements to deduct from all amounts paid under the Plan any taxes reasonably determined to be required to be withheld by any government or government agency. The Participant, surviving spouse,
beneficiary, or alternate payee, as the case may be, shall bear all taxes on amounts paid under the Plan to the extent that no taxes are withheld, irrespective of whether withholding is required. 
  
 7.08. 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. 
  
 7.09. 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 State of Connecticut, 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 under 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 5.01(b). Claims for underpayment 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 distribution of the benefit commenced. Claims for 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 first payment was allegedly due. 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 5.01(b) is pending before the Plan
Administrator. 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 7.09. Claims filed after the
expiration of the limitations period prescribed by this Section 7.09 shall be deemed to be time-barred.

 7.10. CLASS ACTION FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE

  

	(a)	To the fullest extent permitted by law, any putative class action lawsuit brought in whole or in part under section 502 of ERISA (or any successor provision) or under state law and
relating to the Plan, the administration of the Plan, the trust (if any), or the performance or non-performance of Plan fiduciaries or administrators 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). 

  

	(b)	If any putative class action within the scope of Section 7.10(a) is filed in a jurisdiction other than one of those described in Section 7.10(a), or if any non-class action filed in
such a jurisdiction is subsequently amended or altered to include class action allegations, then the Plan, any Plan affiliates, and all alleged Plan participants shall take all necessary steps to have the action removed to, transferred to, or
re-filed in a jurisdiction described in Section 7.10(a). Such steps may include, but are not limited to, (1) a joint motion to transfer the action or (2) a joint motion to dismiss the action without prejudice to its re-filing in a jurisdiction
described in Section 7.10(a), with any applicable time limits or statutes of limitations applied as if the suit or class action allegation had originally been filed or asserted in a jurisdiction described in Section 7.10(a) at the same time that it
was filed or asserted in a jurisdiction not described therein. 

  

	(c)	This forum selection provision is waived if no party invokes it within 120 days of the filing of a putative class action or the assertion of class action allegations.

  

	(d)	This Section 7.10 does not relieve the Plan or any putative 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 7.09(b). 

  
 7.11. 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. 
  
 7.12. COMPLETE STATEMENT OF PLAN 
  
 This document is a complete statement of the Plan and, as of January 1, 2003, supersedes all prior plan documents. The Plan may be amended, modified, or terminated only
in writing and then only as provided in Sections 6.01(a) and 6.02.
