                                      -11-

<PAGE>

             2.3. $4,500,000 Revolving Line. Subject to the terms and conditions
      of this Agreement, and so long as no Initial Default or Matured Default
      has occurred, each Bank agrees to loan to Borrower (by advancing funds or
      issuing Letters of Credit in amounts not to exceed $4,500,000 in the
      aggregate), such amounts up to said Bank's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
      principal amount of $4,500,000 as Borrower may request from time to time
      on or before the Termination Date, to be further evidenced by the
      $3,000,150 Line Note and the $1,499,850 Line Note; provided that the
      aggregate outstanding principal amount of advances at any time outstanding
      shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $4,500,000 or (ii) the Borrowing Base.
      Such Borrowing Base shall be computed on a monthly basis, and Borrower
      agrees to provide to Agent on the 15th day of each month with regard to
      the immediately preceding month all information requested in connection
      therewith, including without limitation a Borrowing Base Certificate. In
      the event Banks shall make advances in excess of the formula set forth
      above, any such advance shall, nevertheless, be secured by all Collateral.
      In the event outstanding advances with respect to Qualified Receivables or
      Qualified Inventory fail to comply with such formula, by reason of any
      accounts receivable or inventory ceasing to be so qualified, for whatever
      reason, then Borrower shall immediately notify Agent of such situation and
      shall, within five (5) Business Days of the imbalance, either (i) reduce
      the amount of the outstanding balances to bring such amounts within the
      formulas prescribed, or (ii) provide additional Qualified Receivable or
      Qualified Inventory, without any additional advance being made by Banks
      with respect thereto, necessary to comply with the formulas required
      herein. Within the limits set forth in this Section 2.3, Borrower may
      borrow, repay and reborrow at any one time and from time to time.

            2.4. Notice and Manner of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the
      Agent notice of any Loans under this Agreement, specifying the date and
      amount thereof, in writing or via telephone (with voice verification by
      the appropriate officer), no later than 12:00 p.m. (Tulsa time) on the
      date of such Loan. The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of each such
      notice. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of such Loan, each Bank will
      make available to the Agent at Agent's Principal Office in immediately
      available funds, such Bank's Pro Rata Share of such Loan. After the
      Agent's receipt of such funds, and upon fulfillment of the applicable
      conditions, the Agent will make such Loan available to the Borrower in
      immediately available funds by crediting the amount thereof to the
      following account with the Agent: Account styled Orchids Paper Products
      Company, No. 209908802.

             2.5. Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have
      received notice from a Bank prior to the date on which such Bank is to
      provide funds to the Agent for a Loan to be made by such Bank that such
      Bank will not make available to the Agent such funds, the Agent may assume
      that such Bank has made such funds available to the Agent on the date of
      such Loan in accordance with Section 2.4 and the Agent in its sole
      discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such
      assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding
      amount. If and to the extent such Bank shall not have made such funds
      available to the Agent, such Bank agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith
      on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for
      each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until
      the date such amount is

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

      repaid to the Agent, at the customary rate set by the Agent for the
      correction of errors among banks for three (3) Business Days and
      thereafter at the Prime Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such
      corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's
      Loan for purposes of this Agreement. If such Bank does not pay such
      corresponding amount forthwith upon the Agent's demand therefor, the Agent
      shall promptly notify the Borrower, and if the outstanding balance under
      the $4,500,000 Revolving Line is equal to or exceeds the Pro Rata Share of
      the Commitment of the remaining Bank, within ten (10) days of such notice
      the Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to the Agent with
      interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available
      to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the
      rate of interest applicable at the time to such proposed Loan.
      Notwithstanding the above, as long as no Initial Default or Matured
      Default exists, Bank's shall not unreasonably withhold funding of an
      advance requested by Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3.

            Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior
      to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the
      Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the
      Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the
      Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in
      reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on
      such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to
      the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the
      Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount
      distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from
      the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank
      repays such amount to the Agent, at the customary rate set by the Agent
      for the correction of errors among banks for three (3) Business Days and
      thereafter at the Prime Rate.

            2.6. Interest Rate Determination. Each Bank agrees to furnish to the
      Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each London
      Interbank Offered Rate. If any Bank shall not furnish such timely
      information to the Agent for determination of any such interest rate, the
      Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely
      information furnished by the remaining Bank. The Agent shall give prompt
      notice to the Borrower and the Banks of the applicable interest rate
      determined by the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

            2.7. Method of Payment. The Borrower shall make each payment under
      this Agreement and under the Notes on the date when due in lawful money of
      the United States to the Agent at its Principal Office for the account of
      each Bank in immediately available funds. The Agent will promptly
      thereafter cause to be distributed each Bank's Pro Rata Share of such
      payments of principal and interest in like funds to each Bank. The
      Borrower hereby authorizes each Bank, if and to the extent payment is not
      made when due under this Agreement or under the Notes, to charge from time
      to time against any account of the Borrower with such Bank any amount as
       due. Whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement or under the
      Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
      payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
      extension of

                                       -13-

<PAGE>

      time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest and
      the Non-use Fee, as the case may be, except, in the case of a LIBOR Loan,
      if the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into
      another calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately
      preceding Business Day.

            2.8. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
      Agreement, if any Bank determines that any applicable law, rule, or
      regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
      administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or
      comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
      thereof, or compliance by such Bank with any request or directive (whether
      or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or
      comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Bank to
      (1) maintain its Commitment, then upon notice to the Borrower by such Bank
      the Commitment of such Bank shall terminate; or (2) maintain or fund its
      LIBOR Loan, then upon notice to the Borrower by such Bank the outstanding
      principal amount of the LIBOR Loan, together with interest accrued
      thereon, and any other amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement
      shall be repaid (a) immediately upon demand of such Bank if such change or
      compliance with such request, in the judgment of such Bank, requires
      immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period
      to expire before the effective date of any such change or request.

            2.9. Disaster. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if
      Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that:

                  (1) Quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits
            referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate, as the case may be, are
            not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relative
            maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest on a
            LIBOR Loan as provided in this Agreement; or

                  (2) The relevant rates of interest referred to in the
            definition of LIBOR Rate do not accurately cover the cost to the
            Banks of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan;

      then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower,
      whereupon (a) the obligation of the Banks to make the LIBOR Loan shall be
      suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
      giving rise to such suspension no longer exist; and (b) any outstanding
      LIBOR Loan shall automatically be converted to a Prime Loan on the last
      day of the then current Interest Period, unless no later than such date
      the Borrower repays in full the then outstanding principal amount of each
      LIBOR Loan, together with accrued interest thereon.

            2.10. Increased Cost. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the
      account of the applicable Bank, from time to time such amounts as any Bank
      may determine to be necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs
      incurred by such Bank which such Bank determines are attributable to its
      making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan hereunder or its obligation to

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

      make any such Loan hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by
      such Bank under this Agreement or the Notes in respect of any such Loan or
      obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable
      being herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any change after
      the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign
      laws or regulations (including Regulation D), or the adoption or making
      after such date of any interpretations, directives, or requirements
      applying to a class of banks including such Bank or under any U.S.
      federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations (whether or
      not having the force of law) by any court or governmental or monetary
      authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof
      ("Regulatory Change"), which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any
      amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement or the Notes in respect
      of any such Loan (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of
      such Bank for any such Loan by the jurisdiction where the Principal Office
      is located); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit,
      compulsory loan, or similar requirements relating to any extensions of
      credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of,
      such Bank (including any
