  On April 23, 2008 the Board of Directors of
  Pliant Corporation (the "Company") approved the $15 Million Cost Reduction
  Program & $80 Million Debt Reduction Program (the "Program"), designed
  to modernize equipment, improve efficiencies and reduce operating costs.
  The Program, which is expected to be

  employment of approximately 85 production and non-production employees and the
  closing of four plants located in Harrington, Delaware; South Deerfield,
  Massachusetts; Dalton, Georgia and Newport News, Virginia. Through the approval
  of its Board of Directors, the Company committed to the Program on April 23,

  expenditures it will incur in connection with the Program will result in
  incremental cash expenditures.  The
  Company will incur a total of approximately $58.2 million of expense in
