WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain provisions of the Existing Agreements.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendments.

1.1 Amendments to Existing RSA. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth:

(a) The definition of “Receivable” set forth in the Existing RSA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Receivable” means all indebtedness and other obligations owed to an Originator (at the times it arises, and before giving effect to any transfer or conveyance under this Agreement) (including, without limitation, any indebtedness, obligation or interest constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible) arising in connection with the sale of goods or the rendering of services by such Originator to customers that are domiciled in the United States or Canada and further includes, without limitation, the obligation to pay any Finance Charges with respect thereto, provided, however, in no event shall the term “Receivable” include any Excluded Receivable. Indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any one transaction, including, without limitation, indebtedness and other rights and obligations represented by an individual invoice, shall constitute a Receivable separate from a Receivable consisting of the indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any other transaction; provided, further, that any indebtedness, rights or obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be a Receivable regardless or whether the account debtor or such Originator treats such indebtedness, rights or obligations as a separate payment obligation.

(b) The following new definition is hereby added to Exhibit I to the Existing RSA in its appropriate alphabetical order:

“Excluded Receivable” means all indebtedness and other obligations owed to an Originator (including, without limitation, any indebtedness, obligation or interest constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible) arising in connection with the sale of goods or the rendering of services by such Originator after May 31, 2009 to any of Mississippi River Corp., Triad Packaging Inc. of Tennessee, The Newark Group Inc., G H S Enterprises Inc., Southern Converters Inc., Marcom Services Inc., Caraustar Industries Inc., Color Spectrum Network, Dusobox Corp., Technology Container Corp., Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation or Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc.

1.2 Amendment to Existing CSA. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth:

(a) The definition of “Receivable” set forth in Exhibit I to the Existing CSA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Receivable” means all indebtedness and other obligations owed to an Originator (at the times it arises, and before giving effect to any transfer or conveyance under the Receivables Sale Agreement) (including, without limitation, any indebtedness, obligation or interest constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible) arising in connection with the sale of goods or the rendering of services by such Originator to customers that are domiciled in the United States or Canada and further includes, without limitation, the obligation to pay any Finance Charges with respect thereto; provided, however, that the term “Receivable” shall exclude any indebtedness or other obligations owed to an Originator by an Affiliate that is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by an Originator or a Loan Party and each Excluded Receivable. Indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any one transaction, including, without limitation, indebtedness and other rights and obligations represented by an individual invoice, shall constitute a Receivable separate from a Receivable consisting of the indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any other transaction; provided, further, that any indebtedness, rights or obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be a Receivable regardless or whether the account debtor or such Originator treats such indebtedness, rights or obligations as a separate payment obligation.

(b) The following new definition is hereby added to Exhibit I to the Existing CSA in its appropriate alphabetical order:

“Excluded Receivable” means all indebtedness and other obligations owed to an Originator (including, without limitation, any indebtedness, obligation or interest constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible) arising in connection with the sale of goods or the rendering of services by such Originator after May 31, 2009 to any of Mississippi River Corp., Triad Packaging Inc. of Tennessee, The Newark Group Inc., G H S Enterprises Inc., Southern Converters Inc., Marcom Services Inc., Caraustar Industries Inc., Color Spectrum Network, Dusobox Corp., Technology Container Corp., Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation or Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc.
