pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</p>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and
Officers.
Kapstone Paper and Packaging Corporation is a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law ("DGCL")  provides that a
corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the
corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in
connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be
made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interest of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such
person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided
that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such
person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only
to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification
is proper under the circumstances.
Paragraph
B of Article Eighth of our certificate of incorporation provides: "The
Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as
amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify
pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer
or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled
to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
2
amount
if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified
by the Corporation as authorized hereby." 
Article VII of our amended and restated bylaws are to similar
effect.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
The
undersigned Registrant undertakes:
(1)
To file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement to:
(i)
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
Include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement.
(2)
That, for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To file a
post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities
being registered that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4)
That, for
the purpose of determining liability of the undersigned Registrant under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of
securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to
the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means
of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities
to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of
the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424;
3
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the
offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or
referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing
prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the
undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned Registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in
the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
(5)
That, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(6)
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
4
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and authorized this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the city of Chicago, state of Illinois, on this 28th day of
