Dear Mike:

 

This letter (“Letter Agreement”) confirms the agreement reached between the

agreement by and among Vertis, Inc. (the “Company”), Vertis Holdings, Inc.
(“Holdings”) and you, dated and effective as of November 28, 2006 (the
“Employment Agreement”), as amended by the letter agreement dated as of

Section 3(f) of the Employment Agreement, as previously amended, provides that
your principal employment location initially would be Williams, Oregon, that
after December 31, 2007, your principal employment location would be at such
Company office as is mutually agreed upon between the Company and you, and that
you will relocate your principal place of residence to the metropolitan area
encompassing such agreed-upon Company office by or as soon as practicable after
December 31, 2007.  Section 3(f) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended
to provide that your principal employment location on and after January 1, 2008,
shall remain Williams, Oregon unless and until the Company and you mutually
agree to move your principal employment location elsewhere.

 

This Letter Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Maryland, without reference to principles of conflict
of laws.  Except as modified by the terms of this Letter Agreement, the
Employment Agreement remains in full force and effect.  You acknowledge that
nothing in this Letter Agreement gives you any contractual or other rights to
continued employment for any period of time and your employment with the Company
remains at will at all times.  This Letter Agreement shall not be modified,
waived or amended except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto
or their respective successors and legal representatives.  This Letter Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors
and assigns.
