 Ms. Linda Massman 
 Dear Linda: 
 The purpose of this letter is to confirm the terms of
the verbal offer that I have made to you for the position of Senior Vice President. Finance at Potlatch Corporation and, as of the effective date of the anticipated spin-off of Potlatch’s pulp-based manufacturing facilities, your employment
with Clearwater Paper Corporation as Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer. On the effective date of the spin-off, your employment with Potlatch shall cease automatically and you will then be employed by Clearwater(1)(2). This position will report directly to me and will be located in Spokane. As discussed, I hope that you can start work by Monday, September 15, 2008.

 The base salary for this position is $350,040 per year, and regular pay is made semi-monthly. This offer is subject to the standard pre-employment
requirements of a drug screen, physical and background investigation. The appropriate forms and instructions will be provided to you by Human Resources to complete the pre-employment requirements. 
 The position’s salary grade is 59, and the target bonus is 50% of your base salary earnings for each plan (calendar) year. The standard bonus at target level would
be $175,000 (but would be prorated for the 2008 award year based on the portion of the year you are participating in the plan). Awards are not guaranteed, but are based on the performance of the corporation, as well as your individual performance.

 Beginning in 2009, you will participate in Clearwater’s long-term incentive program. The current target for your position is 75% of the salary range
midpoint (value of $303,000). The form of long-term incentive delivery will be 75% in performance shares and 25% in restricted stock units. 
 In addition to the compensation described in this letter, you will be granted $280,000 worth of restricted stock
units following the spin-off. The number of shares awarded shall be determined using the ten-day average closing price of Clearwater stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) starting the 31st day following the spin-off. The vesting schedule is 20% on each of your first two anniversary dates of the grant and 60% on your third anniversary date of the grant. The RSU award,
along with all additional shares attributable to dividend equivalents, will be distributed on the third anniversary of the grant date, in stock, unless you elect to defer receipt of the stock units to a future date (in accordance and in compliance
with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code). 
  
  

	 (1)
	 You will not be eligible for any severance payment or benefits as a result of your separation from Potlatch to become
employed by Clearwater, and as of the spin-off, Clearwater shall assume all rights and obligations of Potlatch regarding your employment. 

  

	 (2)
	 Prior to the spin-off, you will be covered under the Potlatch Forest Products Corporation Severance Program for
Executive Employees. 

 As an officer of Clearwater, you will be expected to acquire ownership of two (2) times your base salary in shares
of Clearwater stock within five (5) years from attaining this position. Shares that count toward the ownership guidelines are: those acquired through independent purchase; shares acquired and held in Clearwater’s 401(k) Savings Plan;
those acquired through any of Clearwater’s Stock Incentive Plans, including performance shares upon being paid out and restricted stock units upon becoming vested, and shares acquired through awards under the Annual Incentive Plan, including
awards deferred in stock units. Progress toward ownership will be covered annually at a Board of Directors meeting. 
 Until such time as the spin-off
occurs, you will be eligible for Temporary Living expenses. After the spin-off, you will be eligible for Clearwater’s – Salaried Employees Eligible for Annual Incentive Plan (AlP) Relocation Policy. Marty Rothschild of Human Resources will
send you the relocation policy information. 
 As a full-time salaried employee, you are eligible to participate in Potlatch’s health and welfare and
pension plans, effective upon your date of hire. You will also be eligible to participate in the 401(k) savings plan on the first day of the month following your date of hire. Enrollment forms and additional detail will be provided to you during
your new hire orientation. On the date the spin-off occurs, if applicable, all benefit plans will be transferred from Potlatch to Clearwater, including any benefit service that you start accruing, retroactive to your date of hire with Potlatch. For
2008, you will be eligible for one week of paid vacation. Beginning in 2009, you will be eligible for four weeks vacation. 
 In the event the spin-off does
not become effective on or before July 1, 2009, and you and Potlatch fail to reach a mutually agreeable arrangement to continue your employment, your employment with Potlatch will cease effective July 1, 2009. In lieu of any other
severance, you will, upon execution of a release and the expiration of any revocation period, be eligible for a lump sum cash payment equivalent, before taxes and deductions, to the sum of your annual bonus payout, at target (50%), for the year in
which your separation occurs and the cash value of the first tranche (20%) of RSUs (with the combined value being $231,000). Your acceptance of this letter shall constitute your agreement that you will not be entitled to any benefits under any
of Potlatch’s severance benefit plans. 
 You will be an employee at will and this offer of employment does not constitute an employment contract.

 Linda, I am very pleased to extend this offer and we are excited to have you join my leadership team. Please indicate your acceptance in the space
designated below.
