Explanation of Responses:
( 1)	On December 27, 2010, a wholly owned subsidiary of Clearwater Paper Corporation merged with Cellu Tissue Holdings, Inc. pursuant to a merger agreement entered into between Clearwater Paper and Cellu Tissue on September 15, 2010 (the "Merger"), as more fully described in the Cellu Tissue proxy statement dated December 1, 2010 filed with the SEC. Each share of common stock of Cellu Tissue was converted into $12.00 in cash. Cellu Tissue board of directors approved the disposition by the Reporting Person in the Merger.
( 2)	In connection with the Merger, each outstanding Cellu Tissue option to purchase shares of common stock, whether or not vested, was cancelled and Reporting Person received a cash payment in an amount equal to the number of shares of common stock represented by each option, vested or unvested, multiplied by the excess, if any, of $12.00 over the exercise price per share under each option. Reporting Person's disposition of options in the Merger was approved by the Cellu Tissue board of directors.
