Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On December 23, 2004, Pliant Corporation (the “Company” or “we”) entered into an amendment to its revolving credit facility.

     Pursuant to the amendment, the limitations on amounts available for borrowing under the facility have been revised. As amended, if our fixed coverage ratio (defined in the revolving credit facility), as reported as of the end of a fiscal quarter, is less than the ratio specified for that period (see below), our borrowings are limited to (a) the lesser of (i) $100 million and (ii) the borrowing base, minus (b) $15 million. The borrowing base consists of the sum of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory.

     The applicable fixed coverage ratios are as follows:

         
Fiscal Quarter End
  Ratio
September 30, 2004
    0.95 to 1.00  
December 31, 2004
    0.95 to 1.00  
March 31, 2005
    0.90 to 1.00  
June 30, 2005
    0.90 to 1.00  
September 30, 2005
    0.90 to 1.00  
December 31, 2005
    0.90 to 1.00  
March 31, 2006
    0.95 to 1.00  
June 30, 2006
    1.00 to 1.00  
September 30, 2006
    1.00 to 1.00  
December 31, 2006
    1.00 to 1.00  
March 31, 2007 and thereafter
    1.10 to 1.00  

     In addition, at any time that our borrowing base is less than $110 million and our fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.10 to 1.00, our borrowings will be limited to the borrowing base minus $10 million.

     As of September 30, 2004, our fixed coverage ratio was 1.00 to 1.00 and, as of November 30, 2004, our borrowing base was approximately $105 million. Accordingly, funds available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility, as amended, as of the date hereof are approximately $95 million, subject to further reduction for amounts under outstanding letters of credit, which as of the date hereof are $6.7 million. This represents an increase of $20 million in our funds available for borrowing as a result of the amendment.

     The amendment also allows us to refinance our senior secured discount notes, our senior secured notes or our senior subordinated notes, provided that, among other things, any refinancing has a principal amount and an interest rate no greater than the debt being refinanced, and the terms of the refinancing are no less favorable to the lenders under the revolving credit facility than those of the debt being refinanced.

     In addition, the amendment clarifies our ability to pledge assets of certain of our foreign subsidiaries for the purpose of securing trade credit, with such secured trade credit, when combined with certain indebtedness permitted under the revolving credit facility, subject to a limit of $35 million.
