RESTRUCTURING & LOCKUP AGREEMENT

EXECUTION COPY

RESTRUCTURING & LOCKUP AGREEMENT

This Restructuring & Lockup Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of February, 10 2009, is entered into by and among Pliant Corporation (“Pliant” and together with its subsidiaries and their respective successors and assigns, the “Company”), and the holders of claims against the Company signatory hereto (the “Consenting Holders” and each, a “Consenting Holder”). The Company, each Consenting Holder and any subsequent person that becomes a party hereto (pursuant to the Joinder attached hereto as Exhibit B) are referred herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A. As of the date hereof, the Consenting Holders hold, in aggregate, approximately 75% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 11.85% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 (together with the Company’s 11.35% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2009, the “First Lien Notes”), issued under that certain Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of February 17, 2004 (as amended and restated as of May 6, 2005), by and among Pliant, the Note Guarantors (as defined therein) and Wilmington Trust Company as trustee (as amended or supplemented, the “First Lien Indenture”).

B. The Company and the Consenting Holders desire to implement a restructuring and reorganization of the Company such that the Consenting Holders and the other holders of claims against and/or equity interests in the Company shall receive the consideration to be paid, distributed or provided by the Company pursuant to such restructuring and reorganization as set forth in the form of Debtors’ Joint Plan of Reorganization attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Form of Plan”), which is expressly incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement. The Form of Plan sets forth the terms and conditions of the Restructuring Transaction (as defined below), however, it is supplemented by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the Form of Plan and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. This Agreement and the Form of Plan are the product of discussions between the Company and an ad hoc group of holders of the First Lien Notes (the “Ad Hoc Group”), comprising the initial Consenting Holders signatory hereto.

C. In order to expedite the contemplated restructuring and reorganization of the Company, each Party, subject to the terms of this Agreement, desires to pursue and support a restructuring transaction by way of a prenegotiated bankruptcy under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) relating to the Company that achieves and implements the terms of the Form of Plan (a “Restructuring Transaction”) and by way of recognition proceedings under Section 18.6 of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act with respect to certain subsidiaries of the Company with assets in Canada (the “CCAA Proceedings”), and during the pendency of this Agreement desires not to support any restructuring or reorganization of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or any plan or proposal in respect of the same) that does not achieve or implement the terms of the Form of Plan.

D. In order to implement the Restructuring Transaction, the Company has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) to prepare and file (a) a plan of reorganization that is materially consistent with the Form of Plan (the “Conforming Plan”) in a case filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Case”) and (b) a disclosure statement that is materially consistent with the Form of Plan (the “Conforming Disclosure Statement”), and (ii) to use its best efforts to have the Conforming Disclosure Statement approved and the Conforming Plan confirmed by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Case (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and by the court having jurisdiction over the CCAA Proceedings (the “Canadian Court”).

STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT

In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Agreements of Consenting Holders.

(a) Ownership. Each Consenting Holder represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, (i) such Consenting Holder (A) is the beneficial owner of the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes set forth below its name on the signature page hereof and all related claims, rights and causes of action arising out of or in connection with or otherwise relating to such First Lien Notes (the “Claims”), and/or (B) has investment or voting discretion with respect to such First Lien Notes and Claims (other than ordinary course pledges and/or swaps) with the power and authority to bind the beneficial owner(s) of such First Lien Notes and Claims to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) such Consenting Holder has full power and authority to vote on and consent to such matters concerning such First Lien Notes and Claims and to exchange, assign and transfer such First Lien Notes and Claims.

(b) Voting. Each Consenting Holder agrees that until this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 3 hereof, and subject to Section 21 hereof, it:

(i) shall timely vote its First Lien Notes and Claims to accept any Conforming Plan, following receipt of any Conforming Disclosure Statement, in any solicitation of votes for any such Conforming Plan (but in no case later than any voting deadline stated therein); provided, however, that upon termination of this Agreement, such Consenting Holder may revoke its vote in writing to the Company;

(ii) shall vote against and shall in no way otherwise, directly or indirectly, support any restructuring or reorganization of the Company (or any plan or proposal in respect of the same) that is not consistent with, or does not implement or achieve, the material terms of the Form of Plan; and

(iii) shall not (A) directly or indirectly seek, solicit, support or encourage any other plan or the termination of the exclusive period for the filing of any plan, proposal or offer of dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, merger or restructuring of the Company that could reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impede the successful restructuring of the Company as contemplated by the Form of Plan and any Conforming Plan,

-2-

(B) object to the Conforming Disclosure Statement or the solicitation of votes for the Conforming Plan or support any such objection by a third party or (C) take any other action that is inconsistent with, or that would delay confirmation of, the Conforming Plan.

Provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall limit: (i) the ability of a Consenting Holder to consult with other Consenting Holders or the Company; (ii) the rights of a Consenting Holder under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, foreclosure or similar proceeding, including, without limitation, appearing as a party in interest in any matter to be adjudicated to appear and be heard, concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Case or the CCAA Proceedings so long as such consultation or appearance is not inconsistent with the Consenting Holder’s obligations hereunder and the terms of the Conforming Plan; (iii) the ability of a Consenting Holder to sell or enter into any transactions in connection with the First Lien Notes or any other claims against or interests in the Company, subject to Sections 1(c) and 1(d) hereof; or (iv) the rights of any Consenting Holder under the First Lien Indenture or constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of the First Lien Indenture, subject to Section 1(e) hereof.

(c) Transfers. Each Consenting Holder agrees that until this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 3 hereof, it shall not sell, transfer or assign any of the First Lien Notes or Claims or any option thereon or any right or interest (voting or otherwise) therein, unless the transferee thereof either (i) is a Consenting Holder or (ii) agrees in writing for the benefit of the Parties to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement by executing the Joinder attached hereto as Exhibit B, a copy of which shall be provided to both Stroock & Stroock & Xxxxx LLP (“Stroock” and, together with Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Capital as financial advisors to the Ad Hoc Group, and any Canadian or local counsel to the Ad Hoc Group, the “Ad Hoc Group Advisors”), as counsel to the Ad Hoc Group and Sidley Austin LLP, as counsel to the Company, in which event the obligations of each Party to the Consenting Holders hereunder shall be deemed to constitute obligations in favor of such transferee.

(d) Additional Claims or Equity Interests. To the extent any Consenting Holder (a) acquires additional First Lien Notes or Claims, (b) holds or acquires any other claims against the Company entitled to vote on the Conforming Plan or (c) holds or acquires equity interests in the Company entitled to vote on the Conforming Plan, each such Consenting Holder agrees that such First Lien Notes, Claims, other claims or equity interests shall be subject to this Agreement and that it shall vote (or cause to be voted) any such additional First Lien Notes, Claims, other claims or equity interests (in each case, to the extent still held by it or on its behalf at the time of such vote) in a manner consistent with Section 1(b) hereof.

(c) prepare or cause the preparation, as soon as practicable after the date hereof, of each of the Conforming Plan, the Conforming Disclosure Statement and the other Definitive Documents (as defined below), each containing terms and conditions materially consistent with the Form of Plan, and to distribute such documents and afford reasonable opportunity of comment and review to the respective legal and financial advisors for the Consenting Holders in advance of any filing thereof; and

(d) not seek to implement any transaction or series of transactions that would effect a restructuring or reorganization of the Company (or any plan or proposal in respect of the same) that is not consistent with, or does not implement or achieve, the material terms of the Form of Plan.

(b) the execution, delivery, and performance by such Party of this Agreement does not and shall not (i) violate any provision of law, rule or regulation applicable to it or any of its subsidiaries or its charter or bylaws (or other similar governing documents) or those of any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any material contractual obligation to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party;

(c) the execution, delivery, and performance by such Party of this Agreement does not and shall not require any registration or filing with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state or governmental authority or regulatory body, except such filings as may be necessary and/or required for disclosure by the Securities and Exchange Commission and in connection with the Chapter 11 Case, the Conforming Plan and the Conforming Disclosure Statement; and

-7-

(d) this Agreement is the legally valid and binding obligation of it, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability or a ruling of the Bankruptcy Court.

6. Disclosure; Publicity.

(a) Within three (3) business days after the execution of this Agreement, and subject to the provisions set forth in Section 6(b) hereof, the Company shall disclose to the public this Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto), with such redactions as may be requested by any Consenting Holder’s counsel to maintain the confidentiality of the items identified in Section 6(b) hereof, except as otherwise required by law. In the event that the Company fails to make the foregoing disclosures in compliance with the terms specified herein, any Consenting Holder may publicly disclose the foregoing, including, without limitation, this Agreement and all of its exhibits and schedules (subject to any redactions required hereby). The Company hereby waives any claims against the Consenting Holders arising as a result of such disclosure in compliance with this Agreement.

(b) The Company will submit drafts to the Ad Hoc Group Advisors of all press releases and public documents that constitute the initial disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement prior to making any such disclosure, and shall afford them a reasonable opportunity to comment on such documents and disclosures and shall incorporate any such comments in good faith. Except as required by law or otherwise permitted under the terms of any other agreement between the Company and any Consenting Holder, no Party or its advisors shall (i) use the name of any Consenting Holder in any public manner or (ii) disclose to any person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Consenting Holder), other than advisors to the Company, the principal amount or percentage of any First Lien Notes or any other securities of the Company held by any Consenting Holder, in each case without such Consenting Holder’s prior written consent; provided, however, that (i) such disclosure is required by law or regulation, the disclosing Party shall afford the relevant Consenting Holder a reasonable opportunity to review and comment in advance of such disclosure and shall take all reasonable measures to limit such disclosure and (ii) the foregoing shall not prohibit the disclosure of the aggregate percentage or aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes held by the Consenting Holders.

7. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, including any exhibits or supplements hereto, may not be modified, amended or supplemented and a Termination Event may not be waived except in a writing signed by the Company and Consenting Holders who are not then in breach hereof and who hold at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes held by such Consenting Holders; provided, however, that any modification of, or amendment or supplement to, this Section 7 shall require the written consent of all of the Parties.

-8-

9. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING AGAINST IT WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS AND SUBMITS ITSELF TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF EACH SUCH COURT, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, UPON THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASE, EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

10. Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.

11. Survival. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3, the agreements and obligations of the Parties in this Section 11 and in Sections 3(d), 6, 9, 13, 15, 18, 19, and 20 shall survive such termination and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Consenting Holders in accordance with the terms hereof.

12. Headings. The headings of the sections, paragraphs and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof.

13. Successors and Assigns; Severability; Several Obligations. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives. The invalidity or unenforceability at any

-9-

time of any provision hereof shall not affect or diminish in any way the continuing validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof. The agreements, representations and obligations of the Consenting Holders under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.

14. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.

15. Prior Negotiations; Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except that the Parties acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed between the Company and each Consenting Holder shall continue in full force and effect.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile signature or otherwise), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

17. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be deemed given if in writing and delivered, if sent by facsimile, e-mail, courier or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) to the addresses and facsimile numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof (or at such other addresses or facsimile numbers as shall be specified by like notice), with a copy to each person identified thereon.

18. Reservation of Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair or restrict the ability of each Consenting Holder to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including its claims against the Company. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. If the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, or this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the parties hereto fully reserve any and all of their rights. Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rule of Evidence, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms.

19. Prevailing Party. If any Party brings an action or proceeding against any other Party based upon a breach by such Party of its obligations hereunder, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to all reasonable expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and financial advisors fees in connection with such action or proceeding.

20. Relationship Among Parties. It is understood and agreed that no Consenting Holder has any duty of trust or confidence in any form with any other Consenting Holder, and, except as provided in this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Consenting Holder may trade in the First Lien Notes or other debt or equity securities of the Company without the consent of the Company or any other Consenting Holder, subject to applicable securities laws and the terms of this Agreement; provided further that no Consenting Holder shall have any responsibility for any

-10-

such trading by any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Consenting Holders shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement.

21. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require (a) the Company or any directors or officers of the Company (in such person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company) to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent required to comply with its or their fiduciary obligations under applicable law, or (b) any Consenting Holder or representative of a Consenting Holder that is a member of a statutory committee established in the Chapter 11 Case to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, in such person’s capacity as a statutory committee member to the extent required to comply with fiduciary obligations applicable under the Bankruptcy Code; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring any Consenting Holder to serve on any statutory committee in the Chapter 11 Case. Nothing herein will limit or affect, or give rise to any liability, to the extent required for the discharge of the fiduciary obligations described in this Section 21.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above.

All matters provided for in this Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors in connection with this Plan, shall be deemed to have timely occurred in accordance with applicable law and shall be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the security holders or directors of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

5.8. Exit Financing. On the Effective Date, without any requirement of further action by security holders or directors of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized and directed to enter into the Exit Facility Credit Agreement, as well as any notes, documents or agreements in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any documents required in connection with the creation or perfection of the liens on the Exit Facility collateral.

The success bonus plan shall contain terms substantially as set forth in Exhibit 5.13 hereto and be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Ad Hoc Committee of First Lien Noteholders.

5.14. Comprehensive Settlement of Claims and Controversies. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims or controversies relating to the rights that a holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest or any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest. The entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that all such compromises or settlements are in the best interests (x) of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective Estates and property, and (y) Claim and Interest holders, and are fair, equitable and reasonable.

ARTICLE VI

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1. Distributions for Claims or Interests Allowed as of the Initial Distribution Date. Unless the Holder of an Allowed Claim against the Debtors and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors agrees to a different distribution date or except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed as of the Effective Date shall be made on the Initial Distribution Date or as soon

thereafter as is practicable. Notwithstanding the date on which any distribution of New Common Stock or New Warrants is actually made to a Holder of a Claim that is an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, as of the date of the distribution such Holder shall be deemed to have the rights of a holder of such securities distributed as of the Effective Date. Any payment or distribution required to be made under this Plan on a day other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

6.2. Interest on Claims. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan, the Confirmation Order or other order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, without limitation, the Final DIP Order), or required by applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim.

6.3. Distributions by Disbursing Agent. Other than as specifically set forth in this Plan, the Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions required to be made under this Plan. Distributions on account of the First Lien Notes Claims and, to the extent necessary, Second Lien Notes Claims and Senior Subordinated Notes Claims, shall be made in accordance with the First Lien Notes Indenture, Second Lien Notes Indenture, and Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture, as applicable, or in accordance with this Plan where such indenture is silent. Reorganized Pliant and/or the other Reorganized Debtors may act as Disbursing Agent or may employ or contract with other entities to assist in or make the distributions required by this Plan.

6.4. Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions. The following terms shall govern the delivery of distributions and undeliverable or unclaimed distributions with respect to Claims.

	(a)		Delivery of Distributions in General. Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made at the addresses set forth in the Debtors’ records unless such addresses are superseded by proofs of claim or interests or transfers of claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001.

	(b)		Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distributions.

	(i)		Holding and Investment of Undeliverable and Unclaimed Distributions. If the distribution to any Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to Reorganized Pliant, the other Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent as undeliverable or is otherwise unclaimed, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent is notified in writing of such Holder’s then current address.

	(ii)		Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim that does not assert a claim pursuant to this Plan for an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution within one (1) year after the Effective Date shall be deemed to have forfeited its claim for such undeliverable or unclaimed distribution and shall be forever barred and enjoined from asserting any such claim for an

undeliverable or unclaimed distribution against the Debtors or their Estates or the Reorganized Debtors or their property. In such cases, any Cash for distribution on account of such claims for undeliverable or unclaimed distributions shall become the property of the Estates and the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon and notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Any New Common Stock or New Warrants held for distribution on account of such Claim shall be canceled and of no further force or effect. Nothing contained in this Plan shall require any Disbursing Agent, including, but not limited to, the Reorganized Debtors, to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

6.5. Record Date for Distributions.

	(a)		The Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer of, or the sale of any participation in, any Allowed Claim that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and distribute only to those Holders of Allowed Claims that are Holders of such Claims, or participants therein, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. The Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall instead be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under this Plan with only those record holders stated on the official claims register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

	(b)		Distributions of New Common Stock and New Warrants to Holders of First Lien Note Claims, Second Lien Note Claims and Senior Subordinated Note Claims administered by the respective Prepetition Indenture Trustee shall be made by means of book-entry exchange through the facilities of the DTC in accordance with the customary practices of the DTC, as and to the extent practicable. In connection with such book-entry exchange, each Prepetition Indenture Trustee shall deliver instructions to the DTC instructing the DTC to effect distributions on a Pro Rata basis as provided under the Plan with respect to such Claims upon which such Prepetition Indenture Trustee acts as trustee.

6.6. Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, to the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under this Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such distribution shall, for all income tax purposes, be allocated to the principal amount of the Claim first and then, to the extent that the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to the portion of such Claim representing accrued but unpaid interest.

6.7. Means of Cash Payment. Payments of Cash made pursuant to this Plan shall be in U.S. dollars and shall be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of Reorganized Pliant or

the other Reorganized Debtors, by (a) checks drawn on or (b) wire transfer from a bank selected by Reorganized Pliant or the other Reorganized Debtors. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of Reorganized Pliant or the other Reorganized Debtors, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

6.8. Withholding and Reporting Requirements. In connection with this Plan and all distributions thereunder, Reorganized Pliant and the other Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements. All persons holding Claims or Interests shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, (a) each Holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution pursuant to this Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to this Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations.

6.9. Setoffs. Reorganized Pliant and the Reorganized Debtors may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy laws, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of such Claim, or claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtors of any such claim that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against such Holder.

6.10. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of New Common Stock and no fractional New Warrants shall be distributed. Where a fractional share would otherwise be called for, the actual issuance shall reflect a rounding up (in the case of more than .50) of such fraction to the nearest whole share of New Common Stock or a rounding down of such fraction (in the case of ..50 or less than .50) to the nearest whole share of New Common Stock. The total number of shares of New Common Stock and the total number of New Warrants to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided for herein.

ARTICLE VII

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS, UNEXPIRED LEASES AND PENSION
PLANS

7.1. Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. On the Effective Date, all executory contracts or unexpired leases of the Debtors will be deemed assumed in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such executory contract or unexpired lease (i) was previously assumed

or rejected by the Debtors, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) is an executory contract that is set forth on Exhibit 7.1 or Exhibit 12.6 hereto, which shall be filed with the Plan Supplement. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Article VII shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the respective Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption or applicable federal law.

7.2. Cure of Defaults of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed is in default shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date or on such other terms as the parties to each such executory contract or unexpired lease may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any cure payments, (b) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. Pending the Bankruptcy Court’s ruling on such motion, the executory contract or unexpired lease at issue shall be deemed assumed by the Debtors unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

7.3. Post-Petition Contracts and Leases. All contracts, agreements and leases that were entered into by the Debtors or assumed by the Debtors after the Petition Date shall be deemed assigned by the Debtors to the Reorganized Debtors on the Effective Date.

7.4. Retiree Benefits and Pension Plans. In furtherance of, and without in any way limiting, section 12.6, from and after the Effective Date the Debtors shall assume the obligation and shall continue to make the payment of all retiree benefits (if any), as that term is defined in Bankruptcy Code section 1114, at the level established pursuant to subsection (e)(1)(B) or (g) of said section 1114, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, for the duration of the period (if any) that the Debtors are obligated to provide such benefits. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Pension Plans shall become obligations of the Reorganized Debtors and shall otherwise be unaffected by confirmation of this Plan, and such Claims shall not be discharged or released or otherwise affected by this Plan or by these proceedings.

ARTICLE VIII

PROVISIONS FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS
AND DISPUTED INTERESTS

8.1. Objections to and Estimation of Claims. Only the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent may object to the allowance of any Claim or Administrative Expense Claim. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be accorded the power and authority to allow or settle and compromise any Claim without notice to any other party, or

approval of, or notice to the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors have previously objected to such Claim. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall serve and file any objections to Claims and Interests as soon as practicable, but in no event later than (a) ninety (90) days after the Effective Date or (b) such later date as may be determined by the Bankruptcy Court upon a motion which may be made without further notice or hearing.

8.2. No Distributions Pending Allowance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, no payments or distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order and the Disputed Claim, or some portion thereof, has become an Allowed Claim.

8.3. Disputed Claim Reserve. On, or as soon as practicable after, the Initial Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall transmit to the Disputed Claim Reserve the Reserved New Warrant Pool. The Disbursing Agent shall reserve from the Reserved New Warrant Pool for the account of each Holder of a Class 5 Disputed Claim New Warrants that would otherwise be distributable to such Holder on the Initial Distribution Date in accordance with the Plan were such Disputed Claim an Allowed Claim (in the Face Amount thereof) as of the Effective Date. At all times after the Initial Distribution Date, the Holders of Class 5 Disputed Claims shall have the sole right to the Reserved New Warrant Pool in the Disputed Claim Reserve, and the Disbursing Agent shall not disburse or distribute any portion of such pool to any Person prior to the Final Distribution Date (subject to section 8.5 hereof) other than to Holders of Class 5 Disputed Claims that become Allowed in accordance with the terms of this Plan subsequent to the Effective Date, without further order of the Court.

8.4. Distributions on Account of Disputed Claims Once They Are Allowed. On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the Disbursing Agent shall make distributions from the Disputed Claim Reserve to each Holder of a Class 5 Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim during the preceding calendar quarter. Such distributions shall be a number of New Warrants equal to the product of (a) the number of New Warrants remaining in the Disputed Claims Reserve and (b) such Holder’s Allowed Claim Percentage.

8.5. Final Distributions from the Disputed Claim Reserve. On the Final Distribution Date, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute the Excess New Warrant Pool, if any, from the Disputed Claim Reserve to Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 5 and 6 pursuant to section 3.2(e) and (f) of the Plan. If the aggregate number of New Warrants remaining in the Excess New Warrant Pool as of the Final Distribution Date is insufficient for purposes of making New Warrant distributions on a Pro Rata basis as set forth in section 3.2(e) and (f), then, for purposes of administrative convenience, such New Warrants shall revert to the Reorganized Pliant free of any restrictions thereon.

Upon the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed discharged and released under section 1141(d)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims and Interests (other than Unimpaired Claims that are Allowed Claims), including, but not limited to, demands and liabilities that arose before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in section 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Pliant Outstanding Common Stock Interests, Series AA Preferred Stock, Series M Preferred Stock, First Ilien Notes, Second Lien Notes, and Senior Subordinated Notes shall be terminated.

As a condition to participation under this Plan the Holder of a note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness of the Debtors that desires to receive the property to be distributed on account of an Allowed Claim based on such note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness shall surrender such note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness to the Debtors, or their designee (unless such Holder’s Claim will be Reinstated by this Plan, in which case such surrender shall not be required), and shall execute and deliver such other documents as are necessary to effectuate this Plan; provided, however, that if a claimant is a Holder of an equity security, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness for which no physical certificate was issued to the Holder but which instead is held in book-entry form pursuant to a global security held by DTC or other securities depositary or custodian thereof, then such Holder shall be deemed to have surrendered such Holder’s equity security, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness upon surrender to Pliant of such global security by DTC or such other securities depositary or custodian thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this section, if no surrender of a security, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness occurs and a claimant does not provide an affidavit and indemnification agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Debtors, that such security, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness was lost, then no distribution may be made to any claimant whose Claim or Interest is based on such security, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness thereof. The Debtors shall make subsequent distributions only to the persons who surrender the securities for exchange (or their assignees) and the record holders of such securities shall be those holders of record as of the Effective Date.

12.4. Bar Date for Certain Administrative Expense Claims. All applications for final allowance of fees and expenses of professional persons employed by the Debtors or any appointed Representative Committee pursuant to orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court and on account of services rendered prior to the Effective Date shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon the Reorganized Debtors’ counsel at the addresses set forth in section 12.15 of this Plan no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Any such claim that is not filed within this time period shall be discharged and forever barred. Objections to any application for allowance of Administrative Expense Claims described in this section 12.4 must be filed within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof, as may be extended by the Bankruptcy Court upon request of the Reorganized Debtors.

12.5. Effectuating Documents and Further Transactions. Each of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors is authorized to execute, deliver, file or record such contracts, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement and further evidence the terms and conditions of this Plan and any notes or securities issued pursuant to this Plan, including actions that the First Lien Notes Indenture Trustee may reasonably request to further effect the terms of this Plan.

A Holder of a Claim or Interest that has accepted this Plan shall be deemed to have accepted this Plan, as altered, amended or modified, if the proposed alteration, amendment or modification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim or Interest of such Holder.

12.11. Severability of Plan Provisions. If, prior to the Confirmation Date, any term or provision of this Plan is determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court will have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision will then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of this Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, Impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination and will provide that each term and provision of this Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

12.12. Successors and Assigns. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtors, and their respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, the Reorganized Debtors.

12.13. Revocation, Withdrawal or Non-Consummation. The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw this Plan as to any or all of the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Date and to file subsequent plans of reorganization.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to termination of the Lockup Agreement, the Debtors shall not seek to withdraw or revoke the Plan without the consent of the Ad Hoc Committee of First Lien Noteholders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
