<P><B>PaperExchange Adding Features</B>

PaperExchange.com is adding items to expand beyond its original exchange model. PaperExchange is introducing a range of online order, contract and inventory management solutions to meet the more complex needs of its customers.

The announcement coincides with the launch of the latest upgrade of the company's pulp and paper e-Marketplace--version 3.7. This upgrade includes a multi-language trading floor. Other upgrade features include additional currencies, expanded paper grades and sizes, additional pricing mechanism support and improved browsing capabilities.

PaperExchange also will be introducing StockMover, the first new tool to represent the company's evolution beyond an exchange model. StockMover, to be added this month, manages suppliers' inventory that is not committed to a specific buyer. Customers will benefit by stabilizing intracompany supply and demand imbalances and identifying profitable methods to convert excess stock into prime product.

A new contract management tool will also be introduced later in the year, providing three distinct components designed to create efficiencies by bringing buyers and sellers closer together. These include: 1) online negotiations via TargetRFQ(TM), a tool that enables buyers to distribute quotation requests to preferred suppliers; 2) an online branded storefront that enables order entry and inquiry via a standardized toolkit and 3) the management of contracts and order settlement. This contract management tool will benefit members who deal in long-term relationships and the ongoing order processes that result.

Other site enhancements include:

Additional grades and sizes - 140 paper product grades and sizes, spanning packaging, printing & writing and recovered paper, have been added to enable much greater specificity for selling and ordering.

Pricing mechanism support - adds new units of measure for quantity and price - including imperial and metric - to support traditional pricing mechanisms at different points in the supply chain.

Enhanced browsing capabilities - enables members to define a highly customized and focused search for products on the PaperExchange trading floor. New capabilities include searching by brand, price and date available, in addition to existing product specification fields.

Additional comment fields - facilitates the negotiation process by enabling more robust information exchanges between buyers and sellers.
