George H. Glatfelter II (the &#147;Employee&#148;), dated as of the 3rd day of December, 2008 &#091;This
Agreement replaces the Change in Control Employment Agreement between the parties dated as of March
7, 2008.&#093;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Directors of the Company (the &#147;Board&#148;) has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders to ensure that the Company and its subsidiaries will
have the continued dedication of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility, threat, or
occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company. The Board believes it is
imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Employee by virtue of the personal
uncertainties and risks created by a threatened or pending Change in Control, to encourage the
Employee&#146;s full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any
threatened or pending Change in Control, and to provide the Employee with compensation arrangements
upon a Change in Control that provide the Employee with individual financial security and which are
competitive with those of other comparably situated companies and, in order to accomplish these
objectives, the Board has authorized the Company to enter into this Agreement.

reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii)&nbsp;otherwise arose in connection with or
