MANAGEMENT DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 

Effective December 16, 2008 

Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2010 

	1.	ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE 

(a) The Clearwater Paper Corporation Management Deferred Compensation Plan was adopted effective as of December 16, 2008, by the
Board of Directors of Clearwater Paper Corporation to provide an opportunity for selected senior management of Clearwater Paper Corporation to elect to defer additional compensation and to invest and accumulate such compensation on a tax-deferred
basis. This January 1, 2010 restatement incorporates various changes intended to facilitate the operation of the Plan. 

(b) This Plan is also intended to provide the rules and regulations for deferral of awards under the Clearwater Paper Corporation Annual
Incentive Plan (the “AIP”) beginning with the 2009 performance period. 
 (c) Pursuant to the Employee Matters
Agreement by and between Potlatch Corporation and Clearwater Paper Corporation (the “EMA”), all deferred compensation liabilities under the Potlatch Corporation Management Performance Award Plan, the Potlatch Corporation Management
Performance Award Plan II and the Potlatch Corporation Management Deferred Compensation Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”) with respect to “Clearwater Employees” (as defined in the EMA) have been transferred to and assumed by
this Plan. 
 (d) Deferral and payment elections made by Clearwater Employees under the Potlatch Corporation Management
Performance Award Plan II and the Potlatch Corporation Management Deferred Compensation Plan shall be given effect under this Plan. Certain provisions applicable to the payment of deferred compensation amounts transferred from the Potlatch
Corporation Management Performance Award Plan, which are not subject to Section 409A of the Code, are set forth in Addendum A to this Plan. 

(e) The provisions of this Plan for elections to defer base salary are effective for base salary earned on or after January 1, 2009.

 (f) The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan is intended to constitute
an unfunded program for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees and, as such, to be exempt from all of the provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

(s) “Participant” means an Employee who has deferred Compensation credited to a Deferred Compensation Account under the Plan.

 (t) “Performance-Based Compensation” means compensation the amount of which, or the entitlement to which, is

preestablished if established in writing by not later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the period of service to which the criteria relates, provided that the outcome is substantially uncertain at the time the criteria are
established. Performance-Based Compensation does not include any amount or portion of any amount that will be paid either regardless of performance, or based upon a level of performance that is substantially certain to be met at the time the
criteria is established. Compensation may be Performance-Based Compensation where the amount will be paid regardless of satisfaction of the performance criteria due to the Employee’s death, disability, or a Change in Control Event (as defined
in Treasury Regulation Section l.409A-3(i)(5)), provided that a payment made under such circumstances without regard to the satisfaction of the performance criteria will not constitute performance-based compensation. For this purpose, a disability
refers to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment resulting in the Employee’s inability to perform the duties of his or her position or any substantially similar position, where such impairment can be expected to result in
death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months. Performance-Based Compensation may include payments based upon subjective performance criteria, provided that: (i) the subjective performance criteria are
bona fide and relate to the performance of the Employee, a group of service providers that includes the Employee, or a business unit for which the Employee provides services (which may include the entire organization); and (ii) the
determination that any subjective performance criteria have been met is not made by the Employee or a family member of the Employee (as defined in Code Section 267(c)(4) applied as if the family of an individual includes the spouse of any
member of the family), or a person under the effective control of the Employee or such a family member, and no amount of the compensation of the person making such determination is effectively controlled in whole or in part by the Employee or such a
family member. 
 (u) “Plan” means the Clearwater Paper Corporation Management Deferred Compensation Plan. 

(v) “Plan Year” means the 12-month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31. 

 

 4

the Potlatch Corporation Management Performance Award Plan II or the Potlatch Corporation Management Deferred Compensation Plan. 

(x) “Separation from Service” means termination of an Employee’s service as an Employee consistent with Section 409A
of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of the Plan, “Separation from Service” generally means termination of an Employee’s employment as a common-law employee of the Corporation and each Affiliate of the
Corporation. A Separation from Service will not be deemed to have occurred if an Employee continues to provide services to the Corporation or an Affiliate in a capacity other than as an employee and if the former employee is providing a level of
bona fide services that is fifty percent (50%) or more of the average level of services rendered, during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) months of employment with the Corporation or Affiliate; provided, however, that a Separation
from Service will be deemed to have occurred if it is reasonably anticipated that an Employee’s service with the Corporation and its Affiliates will terminate after a certain date or the level of bona fide services that the Employee will
perform after such date (whether as an employee or another capacity) will permanently reduce to a rate that is less than twenty percent (20%) of the bona fide level of services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding thirty-six
(36) months (or if employed by the Corporation and its Affiliates less than thirty-six (36) months, such lesser period). However, the employment relationship is treated as continuing intact while the individual is on military leave, sick
leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the individual’s right to reemployment with the service recipient is provided either by statute or by contract. If the
period of leave exceeds six months and the individual’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period.

 (y) “Stock Units” means the deferred portion of Compensation, which is converted into a unit denominated in shares
of the Corporation’s common stock. 
 (z) “Value” means the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock
as reported in the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., composite transactions reports for the relevant date. 
 (aa) “Variable
Fractions Method” is a distribution method for amounts payable in installments. The amount of the first installment is determined by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the total number of installments due. Each subsequent annual
installment is equal to the Participant’s account balance as adjusted for earnings or losses since the last distribution date divided by a denominator equal to the total number of installments due minus the number of installments previously
paid. 
 (bb) “Year” shall mean the calendar year. 

 

	3.	ELIGIBILITY TO MAKE DEFERRALS 

(a) Each Employee who is in a position that is eligible for Long-Term Incentive awards (an “Eligible Employee”) shall be
eligible to elect to defer base salary under the Plan. 
  

 5 

 (b) Each Eligible Employee who is eligible to receive an award under the AIP shall be
eligible to defer such award under the Plan; provided that, an Employee who is required to defer his or her award shall automatically become a participant in this Plan. 

 

	4.	PARTICIPATION 

 (a) Each
Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 3 above shall, prior to the beginning of each Year and in accordance with the applicable deadline established by the Committee, have the option to make an irrevocable
election to defer a percentage of his or her Compensation earned during the following Year before the beginning of each such Year. Compensation paid after December 31 of a Plan Year for services performed by the Employee during the final
payroll period of the calendar year and which payroll period includes the last day of such calendar year shall be treated as earned for services performed in the year paid. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employee may make an irrevocable election to participate during a Year with respect to Compensation
earned during that Year and subsequent to the filing of such election, provided such election is made within thirty (30) days of the Employee’s initial eligibility to participate in this Plan and any other nonqualified deferred
compensation plans treated as a single plan with this Plan under Section 409A of the Code. Any such initial election shall apply only to Compensation earned for services performed after the date of the election. If compensation is due for
services performed over a period of time which includes the period both before and the period after the date of the election, the election will apply to an amount equal to the total amount of the compensation paid for such performance period
multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the election over the total number of days in the performance period. 

(c) Notwithstanding the preceding rules, a deferral election for an award of Compensation under the AIP, which constitutes
Performance-Based Compensation, may be made no later than six months before the end of such performance period. This special election rule is available only if (i) the Employee performs services for the Company or its Affiliate continuously
from the later of the beginning of the performance period or the date the performance criteria are established through the date an election is made with respect to such payment, (ii) the election is made before the amount of the
Performance-Based Compensation to be received becomes reasonably ascertainable or, if the Performance-Based Compensation is a specified or calculable amount, when the amount is substantially certain to be paid, and (iii) the performance period
is at least twelve (12) months in duration. 
 (d) The Committee may also adopt such additional or alternative election
rules provided that such rules comply with the rules of Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulatory authority. 
  

	5.	DEFERRAL ELECTIONS 

 (a)
An Employee who elects to participate in the Plan with respect to annual base salary or an award under the AIP for a Year shall file a deferral election with respect to each type of Compensation on such form as the Committee shall prescribe, which
shall indicate: 
  

 6 

 (i) The amount or percentage of each type of Compensation that such Employee
elects to defer pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The percentage must be in increments of ten percent (10%) and may not exceed fifty percent (50%) in the case of annual base salary. An election to voluntarily defer an award under the AIP
must be in increments of ten percent (10%) and shall be for not less than fifty percent (50%) of such award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an election to defer Compensation may not reduce the Employee’s remaining compensation below
the amount necessary to satisfy applicable employment tax withholding, income tax withholding, and benefit plan withholding. This election shall be irrevocable with respect to each type of Compensation for that Year to which it applies after the
applicable deadline for making such election as provided in Section 4 for that Year. 
 (ii) The percentage
of the Compensation deferred pursuant to the election that is to be converted into Stock Units or deemed invested in any other investment account available under Section 7. 

(b) An Employee who elects to participate in the Plan shall have only one form of payment election in effect for all amounts deferred
under the Plan. At the time of an Employee’s initial election to defer base salary or an award under the AIP, the Employee shall file an election and shall indicate whether the deferred Compensation shall be paid in a lump sum or paid in annual
installments over a period of fifteen (15) or fewer years. Installment payments under the Plan shall be treated as a single distribution for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Deferred Compensation shall be distributed in a single lump
sum payment unless the Employee elects otherwise. 
 (c) Subject to Section 5(d), below, an Employee’s election as to
the time and form of payment of deferred Compensation shall be irrevocable and binding on all deferred Compensation under the Plan. For avoidance of doubt it is intended that a Participant shall have only one method of payment in effect. 

(d) If an Employee has a payment election in effect in connection with amounts previously deferred under this Plan or under the MPAP,
MPAP II or the Potlatch Corporation Management Deferred Compensation Plan (provided the obligations related to such deferred amounts were assumed by this Plan), such existing payment election shall remain in effect for all existing and future
deferrals under the Plan. 
  

	6.	ESTABLISHMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS 

(a) For each Employee who has deferred compensation under the AIP or who has elected to defer base salary, the Corporation shall
establish a Deferred Compensation Account to which shall be credited an amount equal to that portion of the Compensation which would have been payable currently to the Employee but for the terms of the deferral election. 

(b) If the deferral election includes an election to convert a percentage of the Compensation deferred into Stock Units, the number of
full and fractional Stock Units shall be determined as follows: The amount of deferred base salary or AIP award that an Employee has elected to convert into Stock Units shall be accumulated in a Holding Account. The balance of the Holding Account
shall be converted into full and fractional Stock Units and transferred to a Stock Unit Account on a quarterly basis as of the last trading day of each calendar quarter by dividing the balance of the Holding Account by the Value of the
Corporation’s common stock on such crediting date. 
  

 7 

 (c) Deferred Compensation Accounts shall be established for any Participant for whom
deferred compensation amounts have been transferred to this Plan from a Prior Plan. A separate Deferred Compensation Account shall be maintained on behalf of each Participant with respect to any deferred compensation amounts transferred to this Plan
from the MPAP, as described in Addendum A. 
 (d) Amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account
shall be fully vested at all times. 
  

	7.	TREATMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT AND STOCK UNITS DURING DEFERRAL PERIOD 

(a) Directed Investment Account. The balance of each Participant’s Directed Investment Account shall be adjusted for earnings
and losses commencing with the date as of which any amount is credited to the Directed Investment Account. Such earnings or losses during the deferral period for amounts credited to a Participant’s Directed Investment Account shall be computed
by reference to the rate of return on one or more of the investment alternatives that are available under the 401(k) Plan and which are designated by the Committee as available under this Plan, which shall include a stable value fixed income fund
(the “Stable Value Fund”). Each participating Employee may select (in ten percent (10%) increments) which investment alternative(s) will be used for this purpose with respect to his or her deferred Compensation, and the alternative(s)
selected need not be the same as the Employee has selected under the 401(k) Plan, but any such selection will apply only prospectively. The Committee shall determine how frequently such selections may be changed. 

(b) Stock Unit Account. Amounts deemed invested in the Stock Unit Account may not be transferred to any other investment and must
remain in the Stock Unit Account until distributed to the Participant. On each dividend payment date, Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to each full and fractional Stock Unit to the extent such Stock Unit was in the Participant’s Stock
Unit Account on the dividend record date immediately preceding the applicable dividend payment date. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted into Stock Units as of the dividend payment date by dividing the amount of the Dividend Equivalents by
the Value of the Corporation’s common stock on the dividend payment date. 
 (c) Holding Account. The Holding
Account shall be available only for the temporary holding of amounts pending conversion into Stock Units in accordance with Section 6, and during such temporary holding period shall be deemed invested in the Stable Value Fund. Participants
shall not be permitted to select the Holding Account as a deemed investment for their deferrals. 
 (d) Effect of Certain
Transactions. In the event that there occurs a dividend or other distribution of shares of the Corporation’s common stock (“Shares”), a dividend in the form of cash or other property that materially affects the fair market value
of the Shares, a stock split, a reverse stock split, a split-up, a split-off, a spin-off, a combination or subdivision of Shares or other securities of the Corporation, an exchange of Shares for other securities of the Corporation, or a similar
transaction or event that materially affects the fair market value of the Shares, the Committee, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, shall make appropriate
adjustments in the number of each Participant’s Stock Units determined as of the date of such occurrence. 
  

 8 

	8.	FORM AND TIME OF PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT 

Subject to Section 8(b), payment of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall commence within the
60-day period that begins on the March 15th of the
year following the year in which Separation from Service occurs. A Participant may request an earlier distribution of an amount credited to his or her Deferred Compensation Account upon the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency within the meaning
of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder as determined by the Committee, but only to the extent necessary to alleviate the emergency. Payment of a Participant’s Stock Units shall also be made at such time except that, within the
six-month period beginning on the last date on which Compensation has been converted into Stock Units on behalf of the Participant, to the extent that Committee reasonably determines that earlier payment would result in a violation of Federal
securities laws, payment of the Participant’s Stock Units shall be made within the 60-day period that begins on the last day of the month in which such six-month period expires. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Stock Unit payments shall
be made following the Participant’s death, Disability or the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, without regard to whether such six-month period has expired. For the purpose of payment, Stock Units shall be converted to cash
based on the Value of the Corporation’s common stock on the last trading day of the month preceding the month during which the distribution is due to be made. 

The amount of each installment due for a Deferred Compensation Account shall be determined by application of the
Variable Fractions Method. Each annual installment for Years subsequent to the Year in which payment commences shall be made within the 60-day period that begins on
March 15th. 

In the case of a Participant who has both Stock Units and other deemed investment accounts available under Section 7, if a partial
distribution of a deferred portion of Compensation is to be made and if the Participant’s Stock Units are immediately payable in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section, payment shall be made partially from the Participant’s
Stock Units and partially from such other deemed investment accounts, in proportion to the relative value of the Participant’s Stock Units and such other accounts. If the Participant’s Stock Units are not immediately payable in accordance
with the previous paragraph, the partial payment shall be made entirely from such other deemed investment accounts, in proportion to the relative value of such accounts. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary: 

(a) No distribution shall be made from the Plan that would constitute an impermissible acceleration of payment as defined in
Section 409A(a)(3) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder; and 
  

 9 

 (b) A distribution made to a Participant who is identified as a Key Employee at the time of
his or her Separation from Service will be delayed for a minimum of six (6) months if the Participant’s distribution is triggered by his or her Separation from Service. Any payment that otherwise would have been made except for the
application of this subsection (b) during such six (6)-month period will be made in one (1) lump sum payment no later than the last day of the second month following the month that is six (6) months from the date of the
Participant’s Separation from Service. The Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall continue to be adjusted for earnings and losses and Dividend Equivalents during the delay. The determination of which Participants are Key
Employees will be made by the Corporation in its sole discretion in accordance with this subsection (b) and Sections 416(i) and 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 

(i) “Identification Date” means each December 31. 

(ii) “Key Employee” means an Employee who, on an Identification Date, is: 

(A) An officer of the Corporation having annual compensation greater than the compensation limit in
Section 416(i)(1)(A) (i) of the Code, provided that no more than fifty (50) officers of the Corporation shall be determined to be Key Employees as of any Identification Date; 

(B) A five percent (5%) owner of the Corporation; or 

(C) A one percent (1%) owner of the Corporation having annual compensation from the Corporation of more than
$150,000. 
 If an Employee is identified as a Key Employee on an Identification Date, then such Employee shall be considered a
Key Employee for purposes of the Plan during the period beginning on the first April 1 following the Identification Date and ending on the next March 31. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a lump sum distribution shall be made in the Committee’s discretion to clear out a small balance
held for the benefit of the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) provided that the Committee’s decision is evidenced in writing prior to the date of the distribution, the distribution is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under
Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code and the payment results in the termination of all benefits due under the plan and all other “account balance plans” treated as a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan with this Plan under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2). 
 (d) If a Plan benefit is payable to a minor or a person declared incompetent
or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of property, the Committee may direct payment to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person. The Administrator may require proof
of incompetency, minority, incapability or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Committee, the trustees of any trusts, and the Corporation from all liability with respect to
such benefit. 
  

 10 

	9.	EFFECT OF DEATH OF PARTICIPANT 

Upon the death of a Participant, all amounts, if any, remaining in his or her Deferred Compensation Account shall be distributed to the
Beneficiary designated by the Participant. Such distribution shall be made at the time or times specified in the Participant’s deferral election. If the designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant or dies before receiving payment in
full of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account, payment shall be made to the estate of the last to die of the Participant or the designated Beneficiary. 
  

	10.	CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURE 

(a) Informal Resolution of Questions. Any participant who has questions or concerns about his or her deferred compensation under
the Plan is encouraged to communicate with the Vice President, Human Resources. If this discussion does not give the participant satisfactory results, a formal claim for benefits may be made within one (1) year of the event giving rise to the
claim in accordance with the procedures of this Section 10. 
 (b) Formal Benefits Claim - Review by Appeals
Committee. A participant may make a written request for review of any matter concerning his or her deferred Compensation under the Plan. The claim must be addressed to the Appeals Committee, Management Deferred Compensation Plan, Clearwater

 11 

 (ii) The Appeals Committee’s review shall take into account all

benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant has submitted a written claim for benefits in accordance with Section 10(a) above, has been notified that the claim is denied in accordance with Section 10(c) above,
has filed a written request for a review of the claim in accordance with Section 10(d) above, and has been notified in writing that the Appeals Committee has affirmed the denial of the claim in accordance with Section 10(d) above;
provided, however, that an action for benefits may be brought after the Appeals Committee has failed to act on the claim within the time prescribed in Section 10(b) and Section 10(d), respectively. 

 

 12 

	11.	PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS UNSECURED 

The interest under the Plan of any Employee and such Employee’s right to receive a distribution from the Plan shall be an unsecured
claim against the general assets of the Corporation. The Deferred Compensation Account and all deemed investment accounts available under Section 7 shall be bookkeeping entries only and no Employee shall have an interest in or claim against any
specific asset of the Corporation pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may, in its discretion, choose to contribute to the Clearwater Paper Corporation Benefits Protection Trust Agreement to assist with the payment of
benefits under the Plan. 
  

	12.	STATEMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT AND STOCK UNITS 

The Committee shall provide a quarterly statement of each Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account.

	14.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. In addition to the powers and duties otherwise set forth in the Plan, the Committee
shall have full power and authority to administer and interpret the Plan, to establish procedures for administering the Plan and to take any and all necessary action in connection therewith, including retaining outside managers to assist with the
administration of the Plan. The Committee’s interpretation and construction of the Plan shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. In its discretion, the Committee may delegate to the Vice President, Human Resources the authority for the
effective administration of the Plan and for assigning responsibility to designated managers to carry out such duties. 
 Within
thirty (30) days after a Change of Control (as defined in Section 17), the Committee shall appoint an independent committee consisting of at least three (3) current (as of the effective date of the Change of Control) or former
Corporation officers and directors, which shall thereafter administer all claims for benefits under the Plan. Upon such appointment the Committee shall cease to have any responsibility for claims administration under the Plan. 

 

	15.	AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 

(a) The Board or the Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Plan may not be
amended (including any amendment to this Section 15) or terminated by the Board or the Committee if such amendment or termination would or adversely affect or impair the Employee’s right to receive amounts credited to his or her Deferred
Compensation Account. 
  

 13 

 (b) Except as provided in Section 15(c) or as otherwise permitted under
Section 409A of the Code, in the event of termination of the Plan, the Participants’ Deferred Compensation Accounts may, in the Board’s or the Committee’s discretion, be distributed within the period beginning twelve months after
the date the Plan was terminated and ending twenty-four months after the date the Plan was terminated, or pursuant to Section 8, if earlier. If the Plan is terminated and Deferred Compensation Accounts are distributed, the Board or the
Committee shall terminate all account balance non-qualified deferred compensation plans with respect to all Employees and shall not adopt a new account balance non-qualified deferred compensation plan for at least three (3) years after the date

Participants by the latest of (i) the Year in which the Plan terminates or (ii) the first Year in which payment of the Deferred Compensation Accounts is administratively practicable. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Vice President, Human Resources of the Corporation shall have the power and authority to amend the

Section 409A of the Code. 
  

	16.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 

The Plan shall be binding upon the Corporation, its successors and assigns, and any parent corporation of the Corporation’s
successors or assigns. Notwithstanding that the Plan may be binding upon a successor or assign by operation of law, the Corporation shall require any successor or assign to expressly assume and agree to be bound by the Plan in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Corporation would be if no succession or assignment had taken place.

(iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or similar governing body of the corporation or other
entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

 ADDENDUM A 

SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO BENEFITS TRANSFERRED FROM 

THE POTLATCH CORPORATION MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE AWARD PLAN 

(THE “MPAP”) 

The following provisions shall apply solely with respect to certain benefits transferred from the MPAP and assumed by this Plan pursuant
to the Employee Matters Agreement by and between Potlatch Corporation and Clearwater Paper Corporation. This Addendum is intended to apply solely to compensation that was both deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005, and earnings on such
amounts, which compensation and earnings are “grandfathered” from the application of section 409A of the Code (collectively, the “Grandfathered Benefits”). Accordingly, this Addendum shall not apply to any compensation originally
deferred under this Plan, or originally deferred under the MPAP II or Potlatch Corporation Management Deferred Compensation Plan and transferred to this Plan, or to any earnings on such amounts. 

The Committee shall cause separate Deferred Compensation Accounts to be established under this Plan to account for such Grandfathered
Benefits separately from other benefits accrued under this Plan. The following provisions, which are based on Section 9 of the MPAP, shall apply solely to such Grandfathered Benefits in lieu of the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 of this Plan
(except as specifically provided below). Defined terms not otherwise defined in this Plan shall have the meaning given such terms under the MPAP. 

DEFERRAL OF AWARDS; FORM AND TIME OF PAYMENT 
  

	(a)	A participant may elect to defer receipt of payment of a single Award or all future Awards under the MPAP until after termination of employment pursuant to rules and
regulations adopted by the Committee. In addition, in the absence of such an election, if the payment of an Award would cause the participant’s annual compensation to exceed the amount deductible under the Internal Revenue Code, the participant
will be required to defer receipt of the portion of the Award that would be non-deductible in the Award Year until after termination of employment. Such rules and regulations shall establish procedures for the Committee, at its discretion, to
accelerate the schedule of payments of deferred Awards. 

  

	(b)	The Award, the payment of which is deferred under (a) above, shall be converted at the participant’s election into cash and/or full and fractional stock units
equal to the number of shares the participant would have received if the Award had not been deferred. 

 On each
dividend payment date, dividend equivalents shall be credited to each full and fractional stock unit to the extent such stock unit was in the participant’s deferred account on the dividend record date immediately preceding the applicable
dividend payment date. Such dividend equivalents shall be converted into stock units as of the dividend payment date by dividing the amount of the dividend equivalents by the closing price of Potlatch Corporation’s common stock on the dividend
payment date. 
  

 17 

 Stock units shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan.

  

	(c)	The cash portion of an Award, the payment of which was deferred under (a) above, shall be credited with earnings during the period of deferral through
December 31 of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which payment of the amounts deferred hereunder is made. The earnings credited shall be based on the following: 

 

	 	(i)	For periods prior to January 1, 2009, earnings shall be calculated using an interest rate equal to 70% of the higher of the following averages, compounded
annually: (i) the prime rate charged by the major commercial banks as of the first business day of each month (as reported in an official publication of the Federal Reserve System) or (ii) the average monthly long-term rate of A-rated
corporate bonds (as published in Moody’s Bond Record). 

  

	 	(ii)	For periods on and after January 1, 2009, earnings shall be calculated using an interest rate equal to 120% of the long-term applicable federal rate, with
quarterly compounding, as published under Section 1274(d) of the Code for the first month of each calendar quarter.

THIS NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is
entered into by and between Motricity, Inc., a company organized in the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Motricity, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as in effect and as
amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and 
 WHEREAS, it has been
determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the non-qualified stock option provided for herein to the Participant. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable
consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. Incorporation By Reference; Plan
Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly
intended not to apply to the award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall
have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict
between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the 

 
Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. No part of the Option granted hereby is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. 

2. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, a non-qualified
stock option (this “Option”) to acquire from the Company at the Per Share Exercise Price specified above, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified above (the “Option Shares”). Except as otherwise
provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in
the Company for any reason. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by this Option unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of the shares, and no adjustments
shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of any such shares, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement. 

3. Vesting and Expiration. 

(a) Vesting. The Option subject to this grant shall become vested and exercisable as to twenty-five percent (25%) on each of
the first four (4) anniversaries of the Grant Date specified above, provided the Participant is then employed by the Company and/or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (i.e., the Option will be 100% vested four (4) years following the
Grant Date if the Participant is then employed by the Company and/or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates). There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each vesting date and all vesting shall occur only on the
appropriate vesting date, subject to the Participant’s continued service with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on each applicable vesting date. 

(b) Effect of Termination for Cause. The provisions of Section 6.4(c) of the Plan regarding Termination for Cause shall apply
to the Option. 
 (c) Expiration. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan
and/or this Agreement, all portions of this Option (whether vested or not vested) shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”). 

4. Termination. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant’s Termination shall impact the
Option as follows: 
 (a) Termination due to Death, Disability or Retirement. In the event of the Participant’s
Termination by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, the vested portion of this Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of such Termination, and (ii) the expiration of the stated term
of the Option pursuant to Section 3 hereof; 
 (b) Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason. In the event of the
Participant’s Termination (i) by the Company without Cause, other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement or (ii) by the Participant for Good Reason, the vested portion of this

  

 2 

 
Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (I) ninety (90) days from the date of such Termination, and (II) the expiration of the stated term of the Option pursuant to
Section 3 hereof. 
 (c) Termination for Cause. In the event of the Participant’s Termination (i) by the
Company for Cause or (ii) by the Participant after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination for Cause, then the Option granted hereunder (whether or not vested) shall terminate and expire upon such Termination.
Furthermore, in the event that the Participant engages in behavior that would result in a Termination for Cause during the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on the date that the Option is exercised or becomes vested, the Company shall be
entitled to recover from the Participant at any time within twenty-four (24) months after such exercise or vesting, and the Participant shall pay over to the Company, an amount equal to any gain realized as a result of the exercise (whether at
the time of exercise or thereafter). 
 (d) Voluntary Termination. In the event of the Participant’s Termination by
the Participant for any reason (other than Good Reason or after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination for Cause, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), the vested portion of this Option shall remain
exercisable until the earlier of (I) thirty (30) days from the date of such Termination, and (II) the expiration of the stated term of the Option pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 

(e) Treatment of Unvested Option upon Termination. Any portion of this Option that is not vested as of the date of the
Participant’s Termination shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination. 
 5. Method of Exercise and
Payment. 
 (a) Method. Subject to Section 8, to the extent that the Option has become vested and
exercisable with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock as provided herein, the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Option as provided
herein and in accordance with Sections 6.4(c) and 6.4(d) of the Plan, including, without limitation, by the filing of any written form of exercise notice as may be required by the Committee and payment in full of the Per Share Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Option exercised. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for. 

(b) Condition of Exercise. As a condition of exercise, the Participant shall be required to certify, in a manner and a form
acceptable to the Company, in its sole discretion, that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any behavior that would result in a
Termination for Cause (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), as applicable. 
 6.
Non-transferability. The Option, and any rights and interests with respect thereto, issued under this Agreement and the Plan shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant (or
any 
  

 3 

 
beneficiary(ies) of the Participant), other than by testamentary disposition by the Participant or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, permit the Option to be Transferred to a Family Member for no value, provided that such Transfer shall only be valid upon execution of a written instrument in form and substance acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion
evidencing such Transfer and the transferee’s acceptance thereof signed by the Participant and the transferee, and provided, further, that the Option may not be subsequently Transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or to another Family Member (as permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and shall remain subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Any attempt to sell,
exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate in any way the Option, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon the Option, contrary to the terms and provisions of this Agreement
and/or the Plan shall be null and void and without legal force or effect. Further, any shares of Common Stock acquired by a permissible transferee (i) upon the exercise of the Option by a permissible transferee or (ii) pursuant to a
Transfer after the exercise of the Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. 
 7. Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.

 8. Withholding of Tax. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the
Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion,
deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Option and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may otherwise refuse to issue or transfer any
shares of Common Stock otherwise required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement. Any statutorily required withholding obligation with regard to the Participant may be satisfied by reducing the amount of cash or shares of Common Stock otherwise
deliverable upon exercise of the Option. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock required to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash by the Participant. 

9. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the Plan, contains the entire agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements or prior understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties relating to such subject matter. The Committee shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to modify or amend this Agreement from time to time in accordance with and as provided in the Plan. This Agreement may also be modified or amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Participant. The Company shall give
written notice to the Participant of any such modification or amendment of this Agreement as soon as practicable after the adoption thereof. 

10. Notices. Any notice hereunder by the Participant shall be given to the Company in writing and such notice shall be
deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof by the General Counsel of the Company. Any notice hereunder by the Company shall be given to the 

 

 4 

 
Participant in writing and such notice shall be deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof at such address as the Participant may have on file with the Company. 

11. No Right to Employment. Any questions as to whether and when there has been a Termination and the cause of such
Termination shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s employment
or service at any time, for any reason and with or without Cause. 
 12. Transfer of Personal Data. The
Participant authorizes, agrees and unambiguously consents to the transmission by the Company (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) of any personal data information related to the Option awarded under this Agreement for legitimate business purposes
(including, without limitation, the administration of the Plan). This authorization and consent is freely given by the Participant. 

13. Compliance with Laws. The issuance of this Option (and the Shares upon exercise of this Option) pursuant to this
Agreement shall be subject to, and shall comply with, any applicable requirements of any foreign and U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the 1934 Act and in each case any respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and any other law or regulation applicable thereto. The Company shall not be obligated to issue this Option or any of the Shares pursuant to this
Agreement if any such issuance would violate any such requirements. 
 14. Section 409A. Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary, the Option is intended to be exempt from the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. 

15. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon, and be enforceable by the
Company and its successors and assigns. The Participant shall not assign (except as provided by Section 6 hereof) any part of this Agreement without the prior express written consent of the Company. 

16. Headings. The titles and headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of
reference only and shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. 
 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

18. Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform (or shall cause to be done and performed) all such further
acts and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as either party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the Plan and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder. Specifically, as a condition to the receipt of shares of Common Stock pursuant to exercise of this Option, the 

 

 5 

 
Participant shall execute and deliver a stockholder’s agreement or such other documentation that shall set forth certain restrictions on transferability of the shares of Common Stock
acquired upon exercise or purchase, and such other terms as the Board or Committee shall from time to time establish, for any such time prior to the Company’s capital stock being registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and listed for trading on a national securities exchange. 
 19. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability
of any provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement
in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

20. Acquired Rights. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the award of the Option made under this
Agreement is completely independent of any other award or grant and is made at the sole discretion of the Company; (b) no past grants or awards (including, without limitation, the Option awarded hereunder) give the Participant any right to any
grants or awards in the future whatsoever; and (c) any benefits granted under this Agreement are not part of the Participant’s ordinary salary, and shall not be considered as part of such salary in the event of severance, redundancy or
resignation.
