FOX RIVER AWA ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made on the 9th day of November, 2001 by and among PAPERWEIGHT DEVELOPMENT CORP. ("PDC"), a Wisconsin corporation, NEW APPLETON LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company ("New Appleton" and, together with PDC, "Buyers"), APPLETON PAPERS INC., a Delaware corporation ("API"), and ARJO WIGGINS APPLETON p.l.c., a corporation incorporated in England and Wales with company number 2454830 ("AWA").

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of July 5, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement"), Buyers have indirectly purchased one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding capital stock of API from the Sellers, as defined therein (the "API Purchase"); and

WHEREAS, Buyers have agreed, pursuant to the Fox River PDC Environmental Indemnity Agreement (the "PDC Agreement") of even date herewith, and in reliance on this Agreement, to indemnify API in respect of the Excess Costs;

WHEREAS, in connection with the API Purchase, AWA has agreed to indemnify Buyers against all costs incurred by Buyers in connection with their indemnification obligations under the PDC Agreement; and Buyers and API have agreed jointly and severally to indemnify AWA against the API Excess Costs; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the PDC Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto have agreed to the following:

1. INTERPRETATION

In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires:

1.1 "Affiliate" means a person or entity included within the definition of "affiliate" set forth in United States Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 405, as amended from time to time.

1.2 "Costs and Expenses" means reasonable out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred (i) in connection with a Tax Contest, (ii) in pursuing or asserting any rights of Recovery, or (iii) in connection with the defense of Claims. For the purposes hereof, all costs incurred by employees of API, Buyers or any other Member of the Buyers' Group who assist AWA pursuant to Section 5.2 below shall be included as Costs and Expenses at the rate per hour specified in Schedule 1.2 hereto.

1.3 "Member of the Buyers' Group" means API (whether or not it is at any relevant time still an Affiliate of Buyers), Buyers and its and their respective present or future Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, directors, stockholders, partners and other holders of equity securities.

1.4 "Recoveries" means any amounts which are received by API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group from any third party in respect of Excess Costs (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any Tax Benefit Amount as defined in Section 5.1.1.1.), including without limitation (i) pursuant to the NCR Agreements, (ii) pursuant to insurance policies, and (iii) from other third parties or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, Recoveries will not include (x) any payments by NCR to third parties or (y) payments by NCR to API which API combines with its own funds to make a payment to a third party on behalf of both API and NCR; and Recoveries will include any amounts paid by NCR to API under the NCR Agreements in reimbursement of amounts previously paid by API to third parties on behalf of NCR, but only

to the extent that API had included such previously paid amounts as Excess Costs under the PDC Agreement.

1.5 "Relief" means any loss, allowance, credit, deduction or set-off for Tax purposes benefiting any Member of the Buyers' Group arising as a result of (i) its or any other Member of the Buyers' Group's incurring of or paying Excess Costs, (ii) any indemnification payment by Buyers under the PDC Agreement, or (iii) its or any other Member of the Buyers' Group's incurring of or paying Costs and Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, Relief shall include any benefit described above obtained by any shareholder of a Member of the Buyers' Group by virtue of such Member of the Buyers' Group being a so-called "pass-through" entity for United States tax purposes.

1.6 "Tax" or "Taxation" means all federal, state, provincial, local, territorial and foreign income, profits, franchise, gross receipts, payroll, sales, employment, use, property, real estate, excise, value added, estimated, stamp, alternative or add-on minimum, environmental, withholding and any other taxes, duties or assessments together with all penalties, interest and additions imposed with respect to such tax amounts.

2. INDEMNIFICATION BY AWA

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, AWA hereby covenants to indemnify and hold harmless Buyers or, where applicable, any other Member of the Buyers' Group, in respect of the following (the "Aggregate Indemnification Payments"):

2.1 all amounts for which Buyers become responsible in satisfaction of their indemnification obligations under the PDC Agreement, reduced by the sum of (i) any Tax Benefit Amounts, and (ii) any Recoveries received by any Members of the Buyers' Group;

2.2 any Tax Benefit Amount in the event, and only to the extent that, any such Tax Benefit Amount is not finally allowed by the applicable Tax authority after having been taken into account as a repayment of a Loan pursuant to Section 4.1.2.2(ii), along with any interest and penalties paid (net of Tax effect) in respect of any such disallowance;

2.3 any Recoveries in the event, and only to the extent that, any such Recoveries are not finally received (or must be returned) by any Members of the Buyers' Group after having been taken into account as a repayment of a Loan pursuant to Section 4.1.2.2(i).; and

2.4 any Costs and Expenses incurred by Buyers, but only to the extent not explicitly the responsibility of the Buyers by operation of Section 5.1.5.3 or Section 5.2.8 below.

3. INDEMNIFICATION BY API AND BUYERS

API and Buyers hereby acknowledge (i) that they are and shall remain, as between the parties hereto, solely responsible for the satisfaction of the API Excess Costs, and nothing contained herein or in the PDC Agreement shall transfer any such liability to AWA or constitute AWA's agreement to assume any such liability, and (ii) that the indemnity provided by AWA pursuant to Article 2 shall not apply to the API Excess Costs. In accordance with the foregoing, API and Buyers hereby jointly and severally covenant to indemnify, hold harmless and pay to AWA an amount equal to any API Excess Costs that AWA actually incurs or otherwise pays on behalf of API, either Buyer or any other Member of the Buyers' Group.

4. SATISFACTION OF AWA INDEMNIFICATION

4.1 The parties hereby acknowledge that while API may be legally responsible, as a matter of law, for satisfying the Indemnified Excess Costs, and while AWA's indemnification obligation hereunder in respect of the Indemnified Excess Costs relates to Buyers' obligation to indemnify API, it is the agreement of the parties that, as set forth in Section 4.1.3, by operation

of this Agreement and AWA's indemnification obligations hereunder, AWA shall, upon Buyers' request but subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, pay (or cause to be paid) to API on behalf of Buyers or Buyers (or, where applicable, Members of the Buyers' Group) the amount of the Indemnified Excess Costs prior to such time that API (or either Buyer (or, where applicable, a Member of the Buyers' Group)) becomes legally obligated to pay such Indemnified Excess Costs so that neither Buyer (nor API, nor, where applicable, any other Member of the Buyers' Group) is effectively ever out of pocket in respect thereof; provided that in furtherance of the foregoing, AWA may in its discretion make such payments directly to the applicable obligee in respect thereof, in which latter case AWA shall provide notice to Buyers and API of such direct payment. Further, except as set forth in Section 4.1.3, and consistent with the foregoing, AWA shall pay the Indemnified Excess Costs initially without giving effect to the deductions therefrom set forth in Sections 2.1(i) and (ii) above. The following sets forth the procedures under which AWA shall pay the Indemnified Excess Costs; provided, however, that nothing contained below is intended to limit AWA's rights of control as set forth in Section 5 below; and provided, further, that the parties acknowledge that they may from time to time agree to informal procedures to supplement the following, although neither party is under any obligation to agree to any such informal procedures:

4.1.1 AWA shall initially satisfy the amount of Indemnified Excess Costs as follows:

4.1.1.1 Buyers (or API on behalf of Buyers) shall provide notice (the "Indemnification Notice") to AWA, setting forth the amount of any Indemnified Excess Costs which the Buyers are required to pay to API under the terms of the PDC Agreement for which Buyers seek indemnification hereunder, notwithstanding that

neither the Buyers nor API have paid such costs in advance of issuing such Indemnification Notice. The Indemnification Notice shall set forth the amount of the applicable Indemnified Excess Costs, together with documentary support in respect thereof (setting forth all of the circumstances thereof), and, if payment thereof has not yet been made, the date by which such payment is legally due from Buyers (the "Excess Cost Due Date").

4.1.1.2 AWA shall, and notwithstanding that it may be contesting its obligation to make such payment in accordance with Section 7, pay to Buyers or Members of the Buyers' Group (or, pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.1.3, the applicable obligee or API) the amount of the Indemnified Excess Costs set forth in each Indemnification Notice (the "Initial Indemnification Payment") not later than the later of (i) ten (10) days after delivery of the Indemnification Notice or (ii) seven (7) days prior to the Excess Cost Due Date or (iii) if AWA makes such payment to the applicable obligee or to API, on the due date therefor as set forth in the PDC Agreement; provided that AWA shall be entitled to reduce any Initial Indemnification Payment by any amounts owed to AWA under this Agreement, including without limitation (x) indemnification payments pursuant to Section 3, (y) any Recoveries (whether or not in respect of such Initial Indemnification Payment) not previously paid to AWA or otherwise applied against AWA's obligations hereunder, and (z) any Tax Benefit Amount not previously paid to AWA or otherwise applied against AWA's obligations hereunder. If AWA shall not make any Initial Indemnification Payment when the same shall be due, the amount of such past due payment shall be payable by AWA on demand by API, together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date such payment was due.

In the event that AWA shall at any time contest or dispute its obligation to make an Initial Indemnification Payment, AWA shall submit such dispute for resolution pursuant to Section 7 below; and if, as a result thereof, API is obligated to reimburse AWA it shall do so upon demand, together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date AWA made such payment.

4.1.2 The Initial Indemnification Payments hereunder shall initially be characterized as loans ("Loans" and the amounts outstanding from time to time in respect of the Loans, the "Loan Amount") from AWA to Buyers, as follows:

4.1.2.1 Each Loan shall be interest free and without recourse to Buyers, API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group, such that neither Buyers, API, nor any other Member of the Buyers' Group shall under any circumstances be obligated to make repayment thereof other, than as set forth in Section 4.1.2.2 or otherwise below.

4.1.2.2 The Loan Amount shall be repaid, or deemed repaid, as follows:

(i) in any and all events (and regardless of whether there are then outstanding Loan Amounts), Buyers shall pay to AWA all Recoveries within ten (10) days following actual receipt thereof by API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group. Any such payments shall constitute payments of outstanding Loan Amounts or, if no Loan Amounts are then outstanding, prepayments in respect of future Loan Amounts;

(ii) on March 15 of each year (or, by operation of Section 5.1.4 below, as soon as possible thereafter), Buyers shall repay any outstanding Loan Amount to the extent of the Tax Benefit Amount in respect of the prior calendar year; provided that, in lieu of making any such cash payment, Buyers may elect to permit AWA to reduce its next payment obligations to Buyers hereunder by such amount;

(iii) if upon final calculation of the Tax Benefit Amount for a calendar year the amount thereof is different than the amount utilized in the calculation described in (ii) above, the parties hereto shall make an appropriate reconciling payment, i.e. if the Tax Benefit Amount is greater than utilized, the Buyers shall pay such excess amount in cash to AWA (subject to the proviso at the end of subsection 4.1.2.2(ii) above); and if the Tax Benefit Amount is less than utilized, AWA shall pay such lesser amount in cash to Buyers; and

(iv) the outstanding Loan Amount in respect of each year shall be deemed repaid, and Buyers shall have no further obligations in respect thereof, after giving effect to the repayments set forth in (i) through (iii) above. Any amounts deemed repaid, as aforesaid, shall therefore be treated as Aggregate Indemnification Payments in accordance herewith, i.e. to the extent of the original Loan Amount for such year reduced by the payments made in respect of Recoveries and the Tax Benefit Amount.

4.1.3 In recognition of Buyers' obligations under the PDC Agreement and of the fact that API shall be responsible in the first instance to satisfy the Indemnified Excess Costs, Buyers hereby direct AWA to make all payments hereunder directly to the applicable obligee or, if applicable, to API; provided, however, that such direct payments shall nonetheless be treated as a matter of law as being in satisfaction of AWA's obligations hereunder.

4.2 At any time that (i) an Insolvency Event has occurred with respect to Buyers, API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group or (ii) Buyers, API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group have failed to pay or satisfy any portion of the API Excess Costs when due, and such failure shall have continued for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given by AWA to the defaulting party; (provided that such notice and cure period shall not apply

if any such extended period would have a material adverse effect on AWA; and further provided that Buyers' failure to make any indemnification payment to API or AWA by reason of AWA's failure to make an indemnification payment to Buyers pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder), the following shall thereafter apply:

4.2.1 AWA shall be entitled, in lieu of the procedures set forth in Section 4.1, to make payments as otherwise determined in accordance with Section 4.1.1.2 equal to the amount of Indemnified Excess Costs, net of AWA's good faith estimate of the Tax Benefit Amount and Recoveries to be obtained by API or another Member of Buyers' Group relating to such Indemnified Excess Costs. Any such payment shall be deemed to constitute a Loan hereunder and the amount thereof shall constitute a portion of the Loan Amount; provided that in such case any Tax Benefit Amount or Recoveries, when received, relating to such Indemnified Excess Costs up to the amount of such estimate thereof shall be the property of Buyers. If, upon final determination of Tax Benefit Amount and Recoveries, the amount paid by AWA pursuant to Section 4.1.3 on account of Indemnified Excess Costs is inaccurate, then, as applicable, either (x) AWA shall pay Buyers in cash the amount of any deficiency or (y) Buyers shall pay AWA in cash the amount of any overpayment, (subject to the proviso at the end of Section 4.1.2.2(ii)).

4.2.2 In any event, and without affecting the limitations set forth in the definition of Indemnified Excess Costs as set forth in the PDC Agreement applicable upon an Insolvency Event, AWA's indemnification obligations hereunder, and its obligation to make Loans hereunder, shall not in any year exceed the amount of Indemnified Excess Costs for which the Buyers and/or API would have become responsible in that year absent such Insolvency Event. For the avoidance of doubt,

therefore, if by reason of an Insolvency Event, the obligations of the Buyers and/or API in respect of Indemnified Excess Costs are accelerated, liquidated or otherwise established at a specific sum representing, for example, the then current value of the future obligations, AWA's responsibility hereunder shall not apply to such liquidated amount, but instead shall be limited such that AWA's obligations hereunder shall be calculated and paid each year on the basis of the Indemnified Excess Costs that would have been paid by API during that year had there been no such acceleration or liquidation.

4.2.3 For the purposes hereof, an "Insolvency Event" shall occur in relation to a person if:

(i) it admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they fall due;

(ii) it voluntarily commences an action for its liquidation or winding up otherwise than purely for the purposes of a solvent reconstruction or amalgamation;

(iii) it consents to the appointment of a receiver (including an administrative receiver or receiver and manager) over the whole or any material part of its assets or undertaking, or, after a 60 day period, is unable to discharge or stay an involuntary action for such appointment;

(iv) it makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

(v) a voluntary or involuntary petition has been filed by or against it pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law (as from time to time amended, re- enacted or replaced); provided, however, that in the case of an involuntary petition, such petition is not discharged or stayed within 60 days after its filing; or

(vi) any matter similar or analogous to any of those described above occurs in relation to it under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction.

4.3 The Aggregate Indemnification Payments made by AWA pursuant to this Section 4, after giving effect to the Tax Benefit Amount and Recoveries, if applicable, shall constitute reductions to the Purchase Price paid by Buyers in respect of the API Purchase.

4.4 Buyers and API acknowledge that AWA's combined maximum aggregate liability to Buyers and API hereunder or otherwise in respect of Excess Costs shall not exceed the Excess Costs paid (or otherwise incurred) by API, Buyers or any other Members of the Buyers' Group and constituting Indemnified Excess Costs, net of any Recoveries and any Tax Benefit Amounts.

4.5 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, AWA is not assuming any liability of Buyers or API to third parties in respect of Excess Costs pursuant to this Agreement; instead AWA is only indemnifying Buyers or any other Member of the Buyers' Group in respect thereof. Further, no person or entity, other than the parties to this Agreement and the other Members of the Buyers' Group, shall have any rights or obligations under or by reason of this Agreement, including but not limited to any third party beneficiary rights, nor any right of direct action to enforce this Agreement.

4.6 Further, for purposes of determining whether Buyers have satisfied the First Tier Indemnification Amount (and the point at which API becomes responsible for the API Excess Costs), the Indemnified Excess Costs shall be deemed to include (i) any payments made by AWA which would have constituted Excess Costs if they had been incurred by API or would have been subject to indemnification hereunder if incurred by Buyers, and (ii) all Costs and Expenses incurred by AWA.

5. TAX BENEFITS; RECOVERIES

5.1 Buyers and API hereby agree that they shall use their best efforts to seek and obtain Relief on account of the payment of Excess Costs or, as the case may be, indemnification payments by Buyers to API, in any such case for the benefit of any Member of the Buyers' Group, as expeditiously and as diligently as practicable. If, and to the extent any Member of the Buyers' Group obtains any such Relief, the amount thereof shall be a deduction from AWA's indemnification obligations (i.e. as a Tax Benefit Amount, as set forth in Section 2.1(i) above).

5.1.1 For the purposes hereof,

5.1.1.1 the "Tax Benefit Amount" shall mean the actual benefit, stated in dollars, obtained by any Member of the Buyers' Group on account of Relief. For the purposes of calculating the Tax Benefit Amount, (i) the applicable Relief shall be determined by reference to the average Tax rates applicable to such Member of the Buyers' Group in the year in which such determination is being made, (ii) such calculation shall be based upon claims for Relief made against Tax either by way of deduction against taxable profits or otherwise, i.e. when Tax would otherwise have become payable but for Relief, and (iii) the Tax Benefit Amount shall be reduced by any Tax (also determined based upon the average rates of such Member of the Buyers' Group) arising by reason of the deemed repayment or satisfaction of a Loan or otherwise by reason of the structure of the arrangement set forth herein; and if the Tax calculated pursuant to the subsection (iii) exceeds the Tax Benefit Amount, the amount of such excess shall be paid in cash by AWA to Buyers.

5.1.1.2 the Buyers shall provide AWA with copies of all tax returns (and underlying work papers in connection therewith) reflecting the calculation of the Tax Benefit Amount. Upon AWA's request, the Buyers shall provide AWA with access to all such information and to those professional advisers who assisted in the preparation thereof; provided, however, the disclosure of such tax returns and other information to AWA shall be subject to the terms of Section 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement.

5.1.2 In the event Buyers or API fail to comply fully with their obligations under this Section 5.1 (and in accordance with Section 5.1.4 below) to claim Relief or fail to utilize such Relief as soon as practical and otherwise as aforesaid, Buyers shall be obligated to repay in cash (subject to the proviso at the end of Section 4.1.2.2(ii)), at the time when a Tax Benefit Amount would otherwise have been paid pursuant to Section 4.1.2.2, that portion of the Loan Amount equal to the aggregate Tax Benefit Amount that would have been realized by Buyers, API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group had it acted in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement.

5.1.3 In the event that a Loan Amount is deemed repaid by reason of a Tax Benefit Amount (or cash is actually paid to AWA in respect of a Tax Benefit Amount) and the Internal Revenue Service or other Tax authority subsequently seeks to deny part or all of such Tax Benefit Amount or such Tax Benefit Amount is otherwise decreased by any such Tax authority, AWA shall immediately re-loan to Buyers the amount of any Tax and deficiency interest that is required to be paid by any Member of the Buyers' Group either (i) as a result of a settlement or the decision of an applicable Tax authority or judicial body following a determination not to pursue any appeal thereof, or (ii) to pursue the claim, either in a different forum, or to contest a state determination, or otherwise.

Any such re-loan shall be made immediately upon, or concurrently with, any such payment required to be made by any Member of the Buyers' Group. Any amount re-loaned pursuant to this Section 5.1.3 will be repaid in cash forthwith by Buyers to AWA (or applied against AWA's indemnification obligations hereunder) but only if and to the extent that the entitlement to a Tax Benefit Amount in respect of which an amount is re-loaned hereunder is finally established and a Tax Benefit Amount obtained, failing which such re-loaned sum will become part of the Aggregate Indemnification Amounts pursuant to Section 2 above and shall be deemed repaid in accordance with Section 4.1.2.2

5.1.4 The following provisions shall apply in respect of the process under which Members of the Buyers' Group shall determine the extent to which they shall claim Relief with respect to each year.

5.1.4.1 On or before March 15 during each year API shall deliver to AWA written notice (the "Tax Relief Notice") setting forth the Relief that it intends to claim with respect to the prior year, and shall thereafter provide AWA with any further information that AWA requests that AWA deems relevant to its review of such Tax Relief Notice.

5.1.4.2 AWA shall provide API with written notice (the "Tax Relief Response Notice") within 30 days following delivery of the Tax Relief Notice, either approving or contesting the Tax Relief Notice; provided that such 30 day period shall be extended, as reasonably necessary, to give effect to requests for further information that are made by AWA pursuant to Section 5.1.4.1 AWA shall be deemed to have approved the Tax Relief Notice if it shall not deliver a timely Tax Relief Response Notice.

5.1.4.3 If AWA contests the Tax Relief Notice, as aforesaid, the parties shall resolve the resulting dispute in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 below; provided, however, (i) the arbitrator shall in all events be a firm of recognized national expertise in Tax matters, and (ii) the time frames set forth within Article 7 shall be accelerated, as necessary, in order to assure that the Members of the Buyers' Group comply with their Tax reporting requirements.

5.1.5 The following further provisions shall apply in respect of the conduct of the Tax affairs of the Members of the Buyers' Group in order to give effect to the provisions of Section 5.1.

5.1.5.1 Buyers shall keep AWA or its designee for tax matters (its "Tax Designee") informed of the progress of the Tax affairs of Buyers and the Members of the Buyers' Group to the extent they are relevant to Relief claimed by Buyers or a Member of the Buyers' Group and will provide copies of all correspondence and transcripts or summaries of all meetings with the Internal Revenue Service or other Tax authority relevant to the Relief claimed subject to the terms of Section 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyers shall promptly notify AWA or its Tax Designee in writing (a "Tax Notice") following receipt by any Member of the Buyers' Group of any notice of any proposed, pending or threatened Tax audit or examination of or assessment against any Member of the Buyers' Group relating to Relief claimed.

5.1.5.2 AWA or its Tax Designee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to represent Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers' Group in an examination, in an administrative appeal and/or in litigation in connection with any Tax

Notice or otherwise in any contest to the extent relating to Relief claimed (collectively, a "Tax Contest") and to employ counsel at AWA's expense for such purpose (and any such expense shall not be deemed be to an Aggregate Indemnification Payment hereunder). AWA or its Tax Designee may exercise this right by written notice to Buyers at any time following receipt of any Tax Notice relating to a Tax Contest. If, and following the date that, AWA exercises this right, (i) AWA or its Tax Designee shall have the unlimited right to control all aspects of any such Tax Contest, and (ii) Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers' Group shall be required to cooperate fully with AWA or its Tax Designee and its counsel, including the grant of all necessary powers of attorney.

5.1.5.3 The personnel of Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers' Group shall have the right of observation at Buyers' expense in any Tax Contest in which AWA or its Tax Designee exercises its rights to represent a Member of the Buyers' Group.

5.1.5.4 If AWA or its Tax Designee does not exercise, or until it exercises, its right to represent Buyers or another Member of the Buyers' Group in connection with a Tax Contest as aforesaid, Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers' Group shall consult with and take into account any reasonable submissions made by AWA or its Tax Designee in respect of such Tax Contest.

5.1.5.5 If AWA or its Tax Designee does not exercise, or until it exercises, its right to represent Buyers or another Member of the Buyers' Group as aforesaid, no settlement, compromise or agreement in respect of any Tax Contest or other disallowance of Relief in respect of Excess Costs shall be made without the consent of AWA or its Tax Designee, unless AWA or its Tax Designee fails to respond to a request for consent within thirty (30) days after the delivery thereof, in which case the matter may be settled without the consent of AWA or its Tax Designee.

5.1.5.6 Upon settlement, compromise or agreement in respect of any Tax Contest or other disallowance of Relief, or upon entry of decision in litigation from which no appeal is taken, and provided that the provisions of this Section 5.1.4 shall have been complied with, AWA shall indemnify, hold harmless and pay to Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers' Group in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof to the extent the amount thereof had not been re-loaned pursuant to Section 5.1.3 above.

5.1.5.7 The Buyers may elect at any time to assume control over any Tax Contest that AWA had otherwise elected to control hereunder, in which case, as between AWA and the Buyers hereunder and irrespective of the actual conclusion to the Tax Contest, the applicable Relief will be deemed unchanged from that reflected by the Tax filings that are the subject of the audit, examination or assessment.

5.2 Buyers and API hereby agree that they shall use their best efforts to seek to minimize the amount of the Excess Costs and to seek to obtain Recoveries as soon as practicable for the benefit of AWA in accordance with the further provisions of this Section5.2; provided, however, that nothing contained in this introduction to Section 5.2 shall limit AWA's rights of control as set forth below.

5.2.1 Buyers shall promptly notify AWA in writing (a "Claim Notice") following receipt by Buyers or any Member of the Buyers' Group of any written or oral actual or potential claim that could give rise to an Excess Cost or a Recovery. Buyers and API shall, at all times, keep AWA fully informed of all claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AWA's obligations hereunder shall not be limited by reason of Buyers' failure

to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.2.1 except to the extent that such failure has an adverse effect on AWA (including by ultimately increasing the amount of such Excess Cost or reducing the amount of any Recovery).

5.2.2 It is the intent of the parties that AWA shall have the exclusive right (but not the obligation) to carry out or direct, in the name and on behalf of the Members of the Buyers' Group, the defense of all claims and proceedings, whether presently existing or hereafter arising, that could potentially give rise to a claim for indemnification by API pursuant to the PDC Agreement or by Buyers hereunder ("Claims") and to carry out or direct all claims for Recoveries in connection therewith. Accordingly, (i) as between AWA and the Members of the Buyers' Group, AWA shall have the exclusive right to select counsel to conduct the defense of all such Claims and to pursue all such Recoveries at AWA's expense, and, subject to Section 5.2.4, shall have the exclusive right to direct the conduct and settlement thereof, (ii) Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers' Group shall cooperate fully with AWA or its designee and its counsel, including by granting all necessary powers of attorney, (iii) AWA shall have the right to require the Members of the Buyers' Group to do any of the foregoing in accordance with AWA's instructions, and (iv) Buyers and the other Members of the Buyers' Group shall not take any action, nor make any statement, regarding Claims or Recoveries unless directed to do so by AWA, or otherwise as consistent with strategies and policies previously approved by AWA.

5.2.3 In furtherance of the foregoing, API shall, upon AWA's request, (i) appoint AWA's designee as the Authorization Administrator to act on behalf of API pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and to approve the incurrence and payment of all

defense and other costs payable by API pursuant to the NCR Agreements and (ii) assign to AWA (or its designee(s)) all of API's rights to any or all Recoveries, whether under agreements with third parties, insurance contracts or otherwise; provided that if any such assignment jeopardizes API's rights to any such Recoveries or contravenes the express terms of any agreements, instruments or other arrangements providing API with a right to Recovery, API shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, take such alternative actions as may be required by AWA in order to obtain the equivalent result.

5.2.4 AWA is hereby authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Claim or in connection with any Recovery without the prior written consent of Buyers, Members of the Buyers' Group or API, where applicable, unless (a) such settlement or judgment would result in the payment by any Member of the Buyers' Group of $50,000 or more and such payment is not subject to indemnification hereunder or (b) any such settlement, compromise or judgment contains an admission of responsibility or liability by Buyers, API and/or any other Member of the Buyers' Group that (i) would result in the payment by any Member of the Buyers' Group of $50,000 or more and such payment would not be subject to indemnification hereunder, or (ii) if the Claim involves non-monetary damages or liability, would otherwise result in a material adverse effect on any Member of the Buyers' Group not covered by AWA's indemnity hereunder, in any which case (x) AWA shall consult with and give due consideration to API's position with respect to any such settlement or judgment, and (y) AWA will not complete such settlement without the prior written consent of API, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyers, API and each other Member of the Buyers' Group shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, officers, employees,

consultants and agents to, provide reasonable cooperation with AWA in the defense of all Claims and prosecution of Recoveries. If AWA does not exercise its rights of control set forth in Section 5.2.2 hereof, neither API, either Buyer or any other Member of the Buyers' Group shall make any waiver, settlement or admission or modify in any respect any oral or written agreement with NCR or any other person in respect of any Claim or any potential Recoveries without the express prior written approval of AWA, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5.2.5 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither API nor any other Member of the Buyers' Group shall:

5.2.5.1 take or fail to take any actions in contravention of written directives of AWA or in contravention of, or inconsistent with, strategies or policies previously established by AWA which in any such case could have the effect of (i) incurring or increasing the aggregate amount of Excess Costs, or (ii) diminishing potential Recoveries, or (iii) resulting in or expanding liabilities of API which could become Excess Costs under the PDC Agreement, without in any such case obtaining the prior approval of AWA; or

5.2.5.2 accept or assume any responsibility for Excess Costs, and shall not acknowledge responsibility therefor, by way of settlement or otherwise, without first obtaining the consent of AWA.

Any obligations voluntarily incurred or payments voluntarily made by API in contravention of this Section 5.2.5 shall not constitute "Excess Costs" for the purposes of this Agreement if (x) any such single obligation or payment involves more than $50,000 or (y) the aggregate of such obligations or payments exceed $500,000 or (z) any such obligation or payment otherwise results in a material detriment to the interests of AWA.

5.2.6 API hereby agrees to, and Buyers shall ensure that API shall, use its reasonable best efforts to comply fully with the terms and conditions of any insurance policies or agreements with third parties which may provide for the payment of Excess Costs, and shall further comply with such reasonable written instructions as AWA or its designee may make relating to the foregoing.

5.2.7 Buyers and API shall make its employees and consultants (including, without limitation, Doug Buth, Paul Karch, Dick Wehrel, Dennis Hultgren, Bill VanDenBrandt and Tami Van Straten as long as each is employed by API or its Affiliates) available to AWA upon reasonable request, whether in connection with its pursuit of Recoveries and Relief, the defense of Claims or other matters relating to the substance of this Agreement.

5.2.8 The personnel of Buyers and other Members of the Buyers' Group ("Observing Buyers") shall have the right of observation at Buyers' expense in any Claim or Recovery in which AWA exercises its right of control herein so long as any such observation does not interfere with AWA's conduct of such Claim or Recovery; AWA shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Observing Buyers the exercise of such observation rights and, if requested by Buyers, AWA shall keep Buyers appraised of the status of any such Claim or Recovery.

5.3 Neither API nor Buyers shall transfer or assign any interest of any kind or nature that either possesses in respect of the PDC Agreement without the prior written approval of AWA, and shall not consent to any amendment to, or waiver of rights under, or other

modification of the rights or obligations or undertakings of any party under, the PDC Agreement. Buyers shall ensure that API fully performs its obligations under the PDC Agreement and shall seek to enforce its rights thereunder to the fullest extent permitted by law.

5.4 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if AWA shall fail to comply with its material obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, those obligations set forth in Sections 2, 4.1 and 6.1, 7.1 and all subsections relating thereto within 45 days after having received notice of such failure (provided that such cure period shall be reduced to no less than 20 days if any such additional time would result in a material adverse effect to API, the Buyers or any other Member of the Buyers' Group), AWA's rights of control under this Section 5 shall be suspended until such time as it shall have remedied any such failure; and until such time Buyers shall have the right to retain control of the matters set forth herein, subject to AWA's rights of observation and to information disclosure as otherwise available to Buyers hereunder,

5.5 AWA hereby grants to PDC the right to set off against the Value Amount under the Deferred Payment (as each is defined in the Purchase Agreement) any obligations of AWA that are not satisfied when due (it being understood, however, that the within right of set-off shall not constitute Buyers' sole recourse against AWA in the case of any such failure).

6. SECURITY

6.1 As assurances for AWA's obligations under this Agreement the following provisions shall apply:

6.1.1 At a time when the sum of (a) the indemnification payments made by AWA hereunder, (b) all Costs and Expenses incurred by AWA, and (c) any other payments made by AWA which would have been indemnifiable hereunder if they had

been incurred by API or Buyers (together, the "Fox River Payments"), is less than $75,000,000, if the consolidated "tangible net assets" of AWA and its subsidiaries and its share of joint ventures and associates ("tangible net assets" being "net assets," adjusted to remove "intangible assets," "deferred tax assets" and "deferred tax liabilities," in each case as calculated on the same basis and using the same methodology employed in the preparation of AWA's statutory accounts or, if such accounts are no longer prepared, on the basis that would be used in preparing such accounts in accordance with English law and UK GAAP) shall, as determined at the end of any fiscal quarter, have (i) remained below (Pounds) 500 million for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters for any reason or (ii) fallen below (Pounds) 500 million in whole or in part as a result of (x) a sale of assets outside of the ordinary course of business, (y) a sale to a third party of stock or other ownership interests of any direct or indirect operating subsidiary of AWA or (z) any other discrete transaction outside the ordinary course of business, the following shall apply:

6.1.1.1 AWA shall deliver into escrow, pursuant to an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto with a mutually agreed upon commercial bank as escrow agent, an amount equal to the excess of (1) $75,000,000 over (2) the Fox River Payments made to the date on which the escrow deposit is required. Such escrow deposit shall be made immediately following the determination that such deposit is required to made pursuant hereto, but in any event not later than ten (10) days after delivery of a certification pursuant to Section 6.1.1.3 that reflects AWA's obligation to make such escrow deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AWA shall have no obligation to make the payments into escrow required hereunder for so long as AWA is providing the Acceptable Protection Coverage described in Section 6.1.3. At such time

that AWA shall no longer be providing the Excess Coverage, AWA shall be required, as a condition to the termination of such Excess Coverage, to deposit into escrow the amount which is required pursuant to Section 6.1.1.2;

6.1.1.2 The amount to be retained in escrow pursuant to Section 6.1.1.1 above shall at all times equal the excess of (1) $75,000,000 over (2) the sum of the Fox River Payments made to the applicable date. Accordingly, any amounts held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement which are greater than the amount of such required amount at any time shall promptly be distributed to AWA free of escrow;

6.1.1.3 For so long as AWA's obligations under this Section 6.1.1 above apply, AWA shall provide Buyers with a quarterly certificate, signed by an officer of AWA, by the 30th day of the month following each fiscal quarter, setting forth AWA's consolidated tangible net assets as of the last day of the previous fiscal quarter, as above; provided that AWA shall be required to provide Buyers with immediate written notice of any event described in Section 6.1.1(ii), and

6.1.2 AWA shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, Acceptable Protection Coverage pursuant to which the specified amounts described in Schedule 6.1.2-1 hereof are available to satisfy Aggregate Indemnification Payments in the years set forth therein (the "Later Period Coverage"); provided, however, once the cumulative Fox River Payments made by AWA hereunder exceed $75,000,000, the annual amounts available for payment under the Later Period Coverage may from time to time be reduced in accordance with the formula attached hereto as Schedule 6.1.2-2; and provided, further, AWA need not obtain or maintain the Later Period Coverage for so long as the Excess Coverage remains in effect, it being understood that, at AWA's option, it may continue the Excess Coverage in place beyond the Base Debt Period.

6.1.3 During the Base Debt Period, AWA shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, Acceptable Protection Coverage pursuant to which the specified amounts described in Schedule 6.1.3 hereof are available to satisfy Aggregate Indemnification Payments in the years set forth therein (the "Excess Coverage").

6.1.4 During the Extended Debt Period, AWA shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, Acceptable Protection Coverage as follows:

6.1.4.1 On the first day of the Extended Debt Period, the Acceptable Protection Coverage must be equal to the lesser of (i) two (2) times the Excess Projected Amount, or (ii) $250 million reduced by the amount of Fox River Payments made to such date.

6.1.4.2 Thereafter during the Extended Debt Period, the Acceptable Protection Coverage must be equal at all times to the amount described in Section 6.1.4.1 above reduced by the amount of Fox River Payments made during the Extended Debt Period to the date of calculation.

6.1.5 For the purposes of this Section 6, the following definitions shall apply:

6.1.5.1 "Acceptable Protection Coverage" means the credit enhancement in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.1.5.1.

6.1.5.2 "Acquisition Debt" means all obligations, including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses, payable by Members of the Buyers' Group under those debt facilities described on Schedule 6.1.5.2 hereof.

6.1.5.3 "Base Debt Period" means from the date hereof until the earliest to occur of (i) the later of (A) November 8, 2008 and (B) if, pursuant to Section 5 of the Appleton Papers Inc. Senior Subordinated Note issued on the date hereof(the "Closing Date High Yield Note"), API issues debt securities the proceeds of which are used to redeem such Closing Date High Yield Note (the "Substitute High Yield Note"), the seventh anniversary of the issuance date of such securities (such later date being the "Scheduled Base Period Expiration Date"), and (ii) the occurrence of a Change of Control, and (iii) the date on which the Acquisition Debt is in fact fully repaid other than through a Refinancing.

6.1.5.4 "Change of Control" means the occurrence of all of the following: (i) a change of control as defined in the Closing Date High Yield Note, (ii) full satisfaction of the repurchase and/or repayment obligations contained in the Acquisition Debt, including any notice, offer, repurchase or repayment obligations contained in the Closing Date High Yield Note or the Substitute High Yield Notes arising from such change of control, and (iii) the absence of the continuation of a default or event of default under any of the Acquisition Debt by reason of such change of control.

6.1.5.5 "Designated Debt Arbiter" means a firm of recognized national standing mutually acceptable to the Buyers and AWA with the necessary financial skills to make the determinations described in 6.1.5.9(i) below. In the event that the Buyers and AWA are unable to agree on the identity of such Designated Debt Arbiter, it shall be determined pursuant to Section 7.1 below.

6.1.5.6 "Designated Fox River Arbiter" means a firm of recognized standing mutually acceptable to the Buyers and AWA with the necessary skills and experience to make the determinations described in 6.1.5.9(iii) below. In the event that the Buyers and

6.1.5.8 "Extended Debt Period" means (a) subject to (b) below, the period following the Scheduled Base Period Expiration Date through November 8, 2011, and (b) if there exists an Extended Debt Period by reason of the existence of an Extended Debt Period Prerequisite set forth in Section 6.1.5.9(ii) below, the period following the Scheduled Base Period Expiration Date November 8, 2011; provided, however, that (i) in any and all events there shall be no Extended Debt Period unless the Extended Debt Period Prerequisites shall have been satisfied and (ii) the Extended Debt Period shall be terminated upon the occurrence of a Change of Control; and provided, further, that there shall automatically be an Extended Debt Period if AWA does not invoke the provisions of Section 6.1.6.1. If AWA does invoke the provisions of Section 6.1.6.1, there shall be an Extended Debt Period if it shall be determined pursuant to Section 6.1.6 that the Extended Debt Period Prerequisites shall have been met.

6.1.5.9 "Extended Debt Period Prerequisites" means that the Acquisition Debt shall not have been repaid in full (other than through a Refinancing), and any one or more of the following shall have occurred:

(iii) the Designated Fox River Arbiter has determined that there is an Excess Projected Amount.

6.1.5.10 "Refinancing" means that the Acquisition Debt shall have been repaid in whole or in part through borrowings other than from the original holders of the Acquisition Debt.

6.1.6 In order to allow the determinations to be made pursuant to Section 6.1.5.9(i) and (iii)above, the following shall apply:

6.1.6.1 If AWA wishes to request a determination as to the requirement for an Extended Debt Period by requesting determinations pursuant to Sections 6.1.5.9(i) it must give notice thereof to the Buyers in writing not later than that date which is 365 days prior to the Scheduled Base Period Expiration Date.

7.1 Buyers and API, on the one hand, and AWA, on the other hand, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute or difference between or among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives of the relevant parties who have authority to settle the controversy within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a notice of a dispute by one or more parties to the others. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 7.1 are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.

7.2 Any dispute or difference between or among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement which has not been resolved by negotiation pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the CPR Rules for Non Administered Arbitration in effect on the date of this Agreement, by a mutually acceptable single arbitrator designated by the respective parties. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the negotiation period described in Section 7.1 an arbitrator shall be selected by the Center for Public Resources pursuant to the procedures set forth in its Rule 6.4.b or by such other procedures as the parties may elect. In order to expedite the process of selecting

an arbitrator, the parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon a standby arbitrator and an alternate within thirty (30) days following the effective date of this Agreement, and within thirty (30) days following the resignation or inability of any such standby arbitrator or alternate to serve. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.(S)(S)1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration shall be governed by the law of the State of New York. The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each party expressly waives and foregoes any right to punitive, exemplary or similar damages less a statute requires that compensatory damages be increased in a specified manner. Following the final arbitration hearings, which shall be completed within thirty (30) days following the later of (i) the designation of the arbitrator and (ii) the expiration of the negotiation period described in Section 7.1 unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties to the dispute, the arbitrator shall promptly deliver a written decision with respect to the dispute to each of the parties, who shall promptly act in accordance therewith. Each party agrees that any decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding and that they will not contest any action by any other party thereto in accordance with a decision of the arbitrator. It is specifically understood and agreed that any party may enforce any award rendered pursuant to the arbitration provisions of this Section 7.2 by bringing suit in any court of competent jurisdiction.

7.3 All reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the party that prevails in any such arbitration commenced pursuant to Section 7.2 or any judicial action or proceeding seeking to enforce the agreement to arbitrate disputes as set forth in Section 7.2 or seeking to enforce any order or award of any arbitration commenced

pursuant to this Section 7.2 may be assessed (in whole or in part) against the party or parties that do not prevail in such arbitration in such manner as the arbitrator or the court in such judicial action, as the case may be, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances. All costs and expenses attributable to the arbitrator shall be allocated among the parties to the arbitration in such manner as the arbitrator shall determine to be appropriate under the circumstances.

7.4 The parties hereto shall take all required steps in order to avoid any inconsistencies between the resolutions of disputes hereunder and resolutions of disputes under the PDC Agreement including, without limitation, the consolidation of any dispute resolution procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the PDC Agreement, AWA shall not be bound, nor shall its rights and obligations under this Agreement be determined, by any arbitration or judicial proceeding conducted pursuant to the PDC Agreement unless either (i) AWA is a party to such proceeding, or (ii) such proceeding has been consolidated with such a proceeding hereunder.

7.5 In the event any party fails to make a payment when due hereunder, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amount due until paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

8. ACCESS TO INFORMATION; SETOFF

8.1 Buyers and API hereby agree to provide AWA or its designee with unlimited access, upon request and during normal business hours, to all of their books and records relating to the matters giving rise to Excess Costs and any information that might reasonably be thought relevant to Excess Costs and Recoveries in order to permit AWA or its designee to confirm the amount of Aggregate Indemnification Payments and Buyers' rights thereto and to permit AWA or its designees to properly manage Excess Costs and Recoveries.

8.2 In the event that it is determined that, for any reason, AWA has made payments to Buyers in excess of amounts ultimately determined to be owing hereunder, AWA shall have the right to set-off any such excess payments against amounts subsequently owing from it to Buyers hereunder or otherwise.

9. API GUARANTEE; RIGHTS OF API

9.1 API hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to AWA the prompt and full payment and performance of all covenants, agreements and other obligations of Buyers hereunder. The foregoing guarantee shall be direct, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be impaired irrespective of any modification, release, supplement, extension or other change in the terms of all or any of the obligations of Buyers hereunder or for any other reason whatsoever. API hereby waives any requirement of promptness, diligence or notice with respect to the foregoing guaranty and any requirement that Buyers exhaust any right or take any action against Buyers in respect of any of their obligations hereunder.

9.2 AWA hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, that it will not claim or assert that the PDC Agreement is not enforceable, valid or binding on any of the parties thereto, and hereby waives any right it has now or may have in the future, to make any claim or assertion, whether at law or in equity, with respect to such enforceability, validity or binding effect. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the indemnity obligations of AWA hereunder have the effect of benefiting API, the Buyers, and the other Members of the Buyers' Group and no claim shall be made or defense asserted by AWA which would have the effect of denying API the benefits of this Agreement or the PDC Agreement; provided nothing contained herein is intended to expand AWA's obligations beyond those explicitly set forth herein or to deny AWA any other rights or defenses to which it is entitled hereunder.

10. ASSIGNMENT AND SUCCESSION

10.1 Subject to 10.3 this Agreement may not be amended, modified or assigned except as agreed in writing by the parties hereto.

10.2 This Agreement shall bind API's, Buyers' and AWA's successors and assigns.

10.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, API and the Buyers (in respect of themselves and on behalf of all other Members of the Buyers' Group) and AWA hereby agree that AWA shall be entitled to enter into the Assignment and Assumption Deed attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Deed"); and to hold the benefits under clause 3(a) of such Deed and to receive any payments made by Arjo Wiggins Appleton (Bermuda) Limited on account of the Assumed Liabilities described in clause 1(a)(i) of such Deed in trust for the benefit of the Buyers, API, and, where applicable, any other Members of the Buyers' Group and will promptly remit such amounts to the Buyers, API and, where applicable, any other Members of the Buyers' Group pursuant to the terms hereof, and that such entry into the Deed by AWA shall not constitute a breach of Section 10.1. For avoidance of doubt any payment received by the Buyers, API and/or the other Members of the Buyers' Group from Arjo Wiggins Appleton (Bermuda) Limited pursuant to the terms of the Deed shall be treated as reducing the corresponding amount owed by AWA to the Buyers, API and/or the other Members of the Buyers' Group under this Agreement.

11. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSE OF ENFORCEMENT OF AN ARBITRAL JUDGMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.2 EACH OF THE

PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENTS TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR ANY ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

THE SECURED PARTY

SECTION 5.1.1 Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor hereby gives the Secured Party the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to (i) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Secured Party or as the Secured Party shall direct; (ii) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and give receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) sign and indorse any assignments,

verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (iv) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (v) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Company with respect to any Collateral; (vi) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Secured Party may deem appropriate; (vii) notify, or require such Grantor to notify, account debtors to make payment directly to the Secured Party and change the post office box number or other address to which such account debtors make payments; and (viii) generally, sell, transfer, pledge, and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Secured Party's option and the Grantors' expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party's security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

The Grantors hereby acknowledge, consent and agree that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

SECTION 5.2 Secured Party May Perform. If a Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantors pursuant to Section 6.2.

SECTION 5.3 Secured Party Has No Duty. In addition to, and not in limitation of, Section 2.4, the powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the U.C.C. or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantors or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof (including the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral). The Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE VI

SECTION 6.1 Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights

and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the U.C.C.

SECTION 6.2 Expenses.

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION DEED

THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION DEED is made as a deed on 9 November 2001

BETWEEN:

ARJO WIGGINS APPLETON p.l.c., a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales ("AWA"); and

ARJO WIGGINS APPLETON (BERMUDA) LIMITED, a company incorporated under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda ("Bermuda").

WHEREAS

(A) AWA, Paperweight Development Corp. ("PDC"), New Appleton LLC ("New Appleton") and Appleton Papers Inc. ("API") have entered into that certain Fox River AWA Indemnity Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2001 (the "Indemnity Agreement", the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined); and

(B) Pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, PDC, New Appleton and API have authorized AWA to enter into this Deed and to hold the benefits under Clause 3(a) of this Deed and to receive any payments made by Bermuda on account of the Assumed Liabilities described in Clause 1(a)(i) in trust for the benefit of PDC, New Appleton, API and, where applicable, any other Member of the Buyers' Group; and

(C) Bermuda has agreed to assume the Assumed Liabilities (as hereinafter defined) and accept an assignment of the Assigned Rights (as hereinafter defined).

NOW THIS DEED WITNESSETH as follows:

1. For the purposes of this Deed:

(a) "Assumed Liabilities" shall mean:

(i) any and all obligations and liabilities of AWA under, arising from, or relating to, the Indemnity Agreement, including without limitation all payments required pursuant to Section 2 thereof;

(ii) any and all payments to be made or liabilities incurred by AWA which would have constituted Excess Costs if they had been incurred by API, Buyers or any other Members of the Buyers' Group; and

(iii) any and all Costs and Expenses to be incurred by AWA.

(b) "Assigned Rights" shall mean any and all rights of AWA under, arising from, or relating to, the Indemnity Agreement, including without limitation all rights to Recoveries and Relief payable to AWA.

2. Effective as of the date hereof, AWA hereby (a) assigns the Assumed Liabilities to Bermuda, and (b) assigns, conveys and transfers to Bermuda all of its right, title and interest under or with respect to the Assigned Rights.

3. Subject to the provisions of Clause 7, effective as of the date hereof, Bermuda hereby absolutely and irrevocably, (a) accepts and assumes the Assumed Liabilities as if the relevant references in the Indemnity Agreement to AWA were references to Bermuda and agrees that it will perform in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Agreement all such liabilities and obligations, (b) assumes, and, as between the parties hereto, shall be solely and exclusively liable with respect to, the Assumed Liabilities and agrees that it will perform all such liabilities and obligations, and (c) accepts the assignment of all right, title and interest of AWA under or with respect to the Assigned Rights; provided that the amount of the Assumed Liabilities assumed by Bermuda hereunder shall not exceed the coverage provided by the Indemnity Claim Insurance Policy attached as Schedule 6.1.5.1 to the Indemnity Agreement.

4. This Deed is limited solely to the Assumed Liabilities and the Assigned Rights, and Bermuda shall not be deemed to have (a) assumed any other liabilities or obligations of AWA or (b) received an assignment of any other assets of AWA.

5. Neither this Deed nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be amended, modified or assigned except in accordance with that certain Relationship Agreement dated November 9, 2001, by and among AWA, Arjo Wiggins (Bermuda) Holdings Limited, PDC, PDC Capital Corporation and Bermuda (the "Relationship Agreement"). Any purported amendment, modification or assignment that is not in compliance with the Relationship Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever. Subject to the foregoing, this Deed shall bind and inure to the benefit of AWA and Bermuda and their successors and assigns. Except to the extent explicitly required by the Relationship Agreement, this Deed may be amended, modified or assigned without the consent of any of PDC, New Appleton, API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group.

6. Bermuda shall execute and deliver to AWA such other instruments and documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time by AWA as necessary to carry out, evidence and confirm the intended purposes of this Deed.

7. Nothing in this Deed shall be deemed to release AWA from its primary responsibility for performance under the Indemnity Agreement, including, without limitation, its indemnification obligations thereunder.

8. This Deed shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.

9. This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and it

shall not be necessary in making proof of this Deed to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

10. PDC, New Appleton, API and the other Members of the Buyers' Group may enforce the terms of this Deed subject to and in accordance with the Clauses of this Deed and the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. PDC, New Appleton, API and the other Members of the Buyers' Group may not assign any of their rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Deed other than (a) pursuant to a collateral assignment for the benefit of their lenders or (b) with the prior written consent of AWA.

11. Except as provided in Clause 10 of this Deed, a person who is not a party to this Deed has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Deed but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

12. If a provision of this Deed is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not effect:

(a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Deed; or

(b) the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other provision of this Deed.

IN WITNESS whereof, the parties have executed and delivered this Deed as of the day and year first above written.

FOX RIVER PDC ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made on the 9/th/ day of November, 2001 by and among APPLETON PAPERS, INC. ("API"), a Delaware corporation, PAPERWEIGHT DEVELOPMENT CORP. ("PDC"), a Wisconsin corporation, and NEW APPLETON LLC ("New Appleton" and, together with PDC, "Buyers"), a Wisconsin limited liability company.

WHEREAS, Buyers have indirectly purchased 100% of the stock of API (the "API Purchase");

WHEREAS, in connection with the API Purchase, Buyers have agreed to indemnify API against Indemnified Excess Costs (as hereinafter defined);

WHEREAS, in recognition of the indemnity obligations of AWA under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith (the "AWA Indemnity Agreement") among Buyers, API and AWA, Buyers have agreed to provide the indemnities described herein; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the AWA Indemnity Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto have agreed to the following:

1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

1.1 "Excess Costs" shall mean any amounts paid or payable by API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group on or after the date hereof: (a) constituting

"Damages" or "Group Defense Costs" (as such terms are defined in that certain Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement")), effective February 12, 1998, by and among NCR Corp. ("NCR"), B.A.T. Industries p.l.c. ("BAT") and API) which are subject to allocation pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 of the Settlement Agreement, (b) pursuant to that certain Joint Defense and Representation

Agreement, effective July 1, 1998, by and among NCR, API, Sidley & Austin, Godfrey & Kahn, S.C., and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, (c) pursuant to that certain Subsequent Allocation Arbitration Agreement, dated February 12, 1998, by and among NCR, BAT and API (the Agreements described in (a), (b) and (c) being the "NCR Agreements"), (d) constituting Costs and Expenses incurred by API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group, but only to the extent such Costs and Expenses are not explicitly the responsibility of Members of the Buyers' Group by operation of Sections 5.1.5.3 and 5.2.8 of the AWA Indemnity Agreement, and (e) with respect to any claims asserted by private parties directly against API or any other Member of the Buyers' Group alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of exposure to or the presence of hazardous substances which are attributable to the operations or activities of NCR, BAT or API prior to the date of this Agreement, including third party claims for contributions to costs incurred by them in connection with any of the foregoing, all in connection with the Fox River Sites and Future Sites (as such terms are defined in the Settlement Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the case of an Insolvency Event of any Member of the Buyers' Group, its liability as set forth above is liquidated or is otherwise established as a specific sum in connection with such Insolvency Event representing, for example, the then current value of the future obligations described therein, the Excess Costs in respect thereof shall not be deemed so liquidated or otherwise fixed, but instead shall be

calculated each year as being the amount that would have been payable such year by any such Member of the Buyers' Group under such subsections in the absence of the Insolvency Event.

1.2 The "First Tier Indemnity Amount" shall mean the first $75,000,000 of AWA's indemnification obligations under the AWA Indemnity Agreement that in fact have been satisfied by AWA; provided, however, that for the purposes of the calculation of the First Tier

Indemnity Amount and the point at which AWA has satisfied $75,000,000 of indemnification obligations, (i) such indemnification payments shall be deemed reduced by any Recoveries and the Tax Benefit Amount, but in either case only to the extent actually paid over to AWA or otherwise applied against AWA's indemnification obligations under the AWA Indemnity Agreement and (ii) such indemnification payments shall be deemed increased by (x) any payments made or liabilities satisfied by Buyers or AWA which would have constituted Excess Costs if they had been paid by API and (y) all Costs and Expenses paid by AWA or Buyers.

1.3 The "API Excess Costs" shall mean the first $25,000,000 incurred in excess of the First Tier Indemnity Amount on account of the sum of (i) Excess Costs and (ii) (x) any payments made or liabilities satisfied by Buyers or AWA which would have constituted Excess Costs if they had been paid by API and (y) all Costs and Expenses paid by AWA or Buyers.

1.4 The "Indemnified Excess Costs" shall mean all Excess Costs other than the API Excess Costs.

2. INDEMNIFICATION BY BUYERS

2.1 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Buyers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold API harmless in respect of, and pay to API, if and as requested by API pursuant hereto, the Indemnified Excess Costs.

2.2 Pursuant to the foregoing, it is explicitly understood that API is retaining the responsibility for the API Excess Costs; and, without limiting the foregoing, Buyers shall have no indemnification obligations hereunder in excess of the First Tier Indemnity Amount until and unless API satisfies the API Excess Costs.

2.3 The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that API may have or acquire certain rights to Recovery. In connection therewith and in recognition and consideration of the fact that

Buyers' ability to satisfy their indemnity obligations hereunder are at least in part dependent upon satisfaction by AWA of its obligations under the AWA Indemnity Agreement, AWA shall be entitled to all rights to Recovery and API shall grant to AWA a security interest in such rights to Recovery and the proceeds thereof to secure such entitlement pursuant to that certain Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among AWA, Buyers and API (the "AWA Security Agreement"); provided, however, that if any of the foregoing would jeopardize API's rights to any such Recoveries or contravene the express terms of any agreements, instruments or other arrangements providing API with a right to Recovery, such security interest shall not be deemed to be created and instead API shall, to the extent practicable, take such alternative actions as may be reasonably required by AWA in order to obtain a reasonably comparable result under the circumstances.

2.4 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyers are not assuming any liability of API to third persons in respect of Excess Costs pursuant to this Agreement; instead Buyers are only indemnifying API in respect thereof. Further, no person or entity, other than the parties to this Agreement and the other Members of the Buyers' Group, as applicable, shall have any rights or obligations under or by reason of this Agreement, including without limitation any third party beneficiary rights, nor any right of direct

action to enforce this Agreement.

3. SATISFACTION OF INDEMNITY

3.1 The parties hereby acknowledge that while API may be legally responsible, as a matter of law, for satisfying the Indemnified Excess Costs, it is the agreement of the parties that, by operation of this Agreement and Buyers' indemnification obligations hereunder, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, upon a request by API pursuant hereto, Buyers shall pay to API

such Indemnified Excess Costs prior to the time that API becomes legally obligated to tender payment of such Indemnified Excess Costs so that API is

effectively never out of pocket in respect thereof. In accordance therewith:

3.1.1 Buyers shall satisfy the amount of the Excess Costs as follows:

3.1.1.1 API shall provide notice to Buyers (the "Indemnification Notice") of the amount of any Indemnified Excess Costs for which API has become obligated and for which API seeks indemnification hereunder, notwithstanding that API may not have paid such costs in advance of issuing such Indemnification Notice. The Indemnification Notice shall set forth the amount of the applicable Indemnified Excess Costs, together with documentary support in respect thereof setting forth all of the circumstances relating thereto, and, if payment thereof has not yet been made by API, the date on which such payment is legally due to be made by API (the "Excess Costs Due Date").

3.1.1.2 Buyers shall pay to API the amount of the Indemnified Excess Costs set forth in the Indemnification Notice not later than the later of (i) fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Indemnification Notice or (ii) five (5) days prior to the Excess Costs Due Date.

3.1.2 To the extent that API receives any Recoveries, and without limitation of the provisions of the AWA Indemnity Agreement or the AWA Security Agreement, Buyers hereby direct API to pay over all such funds to AWA promptly upon receipt thereof.

3.1.3 If any amount is not paid when due, interest shall thereafter accrue thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the due date to the date of payment. Any such interest shall be paid together with the payment required to be made.

3.2 In recognition of AWA's obligations and agreements under the AWA Indemnity Agreement:

3.2.1 Buyers agree that the applicable Indemnification Notices may be given directly to AWA, and

3.2.2 Buyers agree to direct AWA to make the payments required under the AWA Indemnity Agreement directly to API or to the third party obligee.

3.2.3 Buyers agree that if, notwithstanding their direction to AWA contemplated by Section 3.2.2, Buyers receive any amounts from AWA pursuant to the AWA Indemnity Agreement, such amounts shall be held by Buyers in trust for the benefit of API hereunder and Buyers shall promptly pay such amounts to API or to the third party obligee.

4. DISPUTES; ARBITRATION

4.1 Buyers, on the one hand, and API, on the other hand, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute or difference between or among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives of the relevant parties who have authority to settle the controversy within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a notice by one or more parties to the others. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 4.1 are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.

4.2 Any dispute or difference between or among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, which has not been resolved by negotiation pursuant to Section 4.1, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the CPR Rules for Non Administered Arbitration in effect on the date of this Agreement, by a mutually acceptable single arbitrator designated by the respective parties. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days following the negotiation period described in Section 4.1, an arbitrator shall be selected by the Center for Public Resources pursuant to the procedures set forth in its Rule 6.4.b or by such other procedures as the parties may elect. In order to expedite the process of selecting an arbitrator, the parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon a standby arbitrator and an alternate within thirty (30) days following the effective date of this Agreement, and within thirty (30) days following the resignation or inability of any such standby arbitrator or alternate to serve. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration shall be governed by the law of the State of New York. The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each party expressly waives and foregoes any right to punitive, exemplary or similar damages unless a statute requires that compensatory damages be increased in a specified manner. Following the final arbitration hearings, which shall be completed within thirty (30) days following the later of (i) the designation of the arbitrator and (ii) the expiration of the negotiation period described in Section 4.1 unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties to the dispute, the arbitrator shall promptly deliver a written decision with respect to the dispute to each of the parties, who shall promptly act in accordance therewith. Each party agrees that any decision of the arbitrator shall

be final, conclusive and binding and that they will not contest any action by any other party thereto in accordance with a decision of the arbitrator. It is specifically understood and agreed that any party may enforce any award rendered pursuant to the arbitration provisions of this Section 4.2 by bringing suit in any court of competent jurisdiction.

4.3 All reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the party that prevails in any such arbitration commenced pursuant to Section 4.2 or any judicial action or proceeding seeking to enforce the agreement to arbitrate disputes as set forth in Section 4.2 or seeking to enforce any order or award of any arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 4.2 may be assessed (in whole or in part) against the party or parties that do not prevail in such arbitration in such manner as the arbitrator or the court in such judicial action, as the case may be, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances. All costs and expenses attributable to the arbitrator shall be allocated among the parties to the arbitration in such manner as the arbitrator shall determine to be appropriate under the circumstances.

4.4 The parties hereto shall take all required steps in order to avoid any inconsistencies between the resolutions of disputes hereunder and resolutions of disputes under the AWA Indemnity Agreement including, without limitation, the consolidation of any dispute resolution procedures.

5. ASSIGNMENT; AMENDMENT

5.1 This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or assigned except as agreed in writing by the parties hereto and, in recognition of the relationship if this Agreement to the AWA Indemnity Agreement, consented to in advance by AWA. Any purported amendment, modification or assignment not so consented to in advance by AWA shall be null and void.

5.2 This Agreement shall bind all successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

6. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSE OF ENFORCEMENT OF AN ARBITRAL JUDGMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 4.2, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENTS TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR ANY ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY
