 ANNEX I 

[See attached.] 

 SERVICES AGREEMENT TERM SHEET 

TRANSACTION GENERALLY 
 Set forth below are the significant terms
of the Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) to be entered into by and among Verso Paper Corp. (“Verso”), NewPage Investment Company LLC (“NewPage Parent”) and NewPage Corporation
(“NewPage”) in connection with the consummation of the transactions (the “Transaction”) contemplated by that certain Merger Agreement by and among NewPage Parent, NewPage, Verso, NewPage Holdings, Inc., Verso Paper
Holdings One LLC, Verso Paper Finance Holdings LLC, and Verso Paper Holdings, LLC and the other parties and guarantors named therein. Under the Agreement Verso may provide or cause to be provided to NewPage certain services in the categories set
forth below as from time to time may be added to or deleted pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. 
  

			
	Parties	  	Verso, NewPage Parent and NewPage.
		
	Effective Date	  	As of the closing date of the Transaction (the “Effective Date”).

ONGOING SERVICES 
  

			
	Shared Services	  	From and after the Effective Date, Verso may, or may cause one or more of its subsidiaries or third-party service providers to, provide to NewPage and its subsidiaries those corporate and other shared services set forth on
Exhibit A hereto (the “Shared Services”).

 COST ALLOCATION; SYNERGIES 

 

			
	Implementation Costs	  	Costs incurred in the implementation of the expected synergies from the Transaction and resultant combination of the Verso and NewPage businesses (e.g., severance payments, information technology expenses, etc.) shall be allocated
1/3 to Verso and 2/3 to NewPage.
		
	Shared Services Costs	  	 If Verso provides a Shared Service to NewPage, NewPage shall pay Verso an amount for such Shared Service equal to the Pre-Transaction
Cost.
  
 “Pre-Transaction Cost” means, with respect to any received
Shared Service, the all-in cost incurred or paid by NewPage for the identical or substantially equivalent service or function on an average basis over the twelve-month period prior to the Effective Date, which may include fully-fringed employee
costs, reasonable allocation of direct and indirect corporate and related overhead and other, similar costs, in each case as determined in the good faith, reasonable commercial judgment of
Verso.

			
	Synergies	  	100% of the realized synergies and related cost savings resulting from the Transaction and resultant combination of the Verso and NewPage businesses (“Synergies”) shall be for the benefit of Verso, and, to the
extent realized by NewPage, shall be paid by NewPage to Verso as set forth below. For the avoidance of doubt, reductions in the cost of raw materials and/or logistics/transportation achieved due to Synergies or other economies of scale or purchasing
efficiencies resulting from the Transaction shall constitute compensable Synergies hereunder (it being understood that Verso shall not procure such raw materials or transportation/logistics services as an agent of NewPage).
		
	Make-Whole Payments	  	 From the Effective Date until the final maturity of the longest-dated indebtedness of NewPage, in the event that a party experiences a
reduction in production capacity (“Reducing Party”) that exceeds 10% relative to such party’s production capacity immediately prior to the Effective Date (such amount of capacity the “Relevant Capacity”), a
“Triggering Event” will be deemed to have occurred.
  
 Upon a Triggering
Event, if the party that did not experience the capacity reduction (“Non-Reducing Party”) realizes an increase in tons sold in any of the four subsequent quarters, as compared to the amount of tons sold prior to the Triggering Event
(the “Excess Amount”), of at least 10% of the Relevant Capacity, then the Non-Reducing Party will pay to the Reducing Party, the lesser of (i) $75 multiplied by the Excess Amount divided by four and (ii) the amount of
EBITDA attributable by the Reducing Party to the Relevant Capacity, in the four quarters prior to the to the Triggering Event, divided by four. Such amounts will be paid quarterly, in arrears, 60 days after the conclusion of such
quarter.

		
	Allocation Methodology Evaluation	  	No less often than annually, the Steering Committee shall meet to evaluate and determine whether the allocation methodologies then in existence accurately reflect the performance and use of services by Verso or NewPage. The Steering
Committee shall evaluate the services being performed and used and shall determine whether the allocation methodologies then in existence require adjustment and, upon a determination that an adjustment is required, shall have the authority to effect
such adjustment. Each of Verso and NewPage shall cooperate with the Steering Committee in the aforementioned process, including making appropriate personnel and materials available to the Steering Committee. In the event that either Verso or NewPage
disagrees with the allocation methodologies determined by the Steering Committee, the dispute resolution procedures set forth below shall apply.
		
	Non-Cash Cost Allocation	  	Any non-cash costs caused by, incurred or otherwise arising from or relating to the Shared Services shall be allocated to Verso and NewPage for financial statement purposes only, without any corresponding cash reimbursement
required, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and based on the otherwise applicable allocation methodology, if any.

			
	Monthly Estimate Statements & Capital Expenditure and Synergy Invoices	  	 Prior to the first day of each month during the term of the applicable service, Verso shall (i) estimate (or calculate, as applicable) the
costs of the services to be provided for such month, which shall be based upon an annual budget as previously agreed between Verso and NewPage (the “Estimated Monthly Payment”) and (ii) prepare and issue invoices for such Estimated
Monthly Payment to be paid by NewPage, which invoices shall be delivered on the first day of each month (or as promptly as practicable thereafter). Not later than five (5) business days following delivery of an invoice for the Estimated Monthly
Payment, NewPage shall promptly pay to or as directed by Verso the Estimated Monthly Payment. NewPage may elect to cause all or a portion of the Estimated Monthly Payment to be satisfied by one or more of its subsidiaries.

 
 With respect to Synergies, Verso shall invoice NewPage for 100% of realized Synergies
within ten (10) days following the end of each month during the term of the Agreement. Such invoice shall include the amount of the realized Synergy or Synergies and reasonable supporting detail. NewPage shall, or shall cause one or more of its
subsidiaries to, pay to Verso the amount of such invoiced Synergies within five (5) business days following NewPage’s receipt of each such invoice. (At Verso’s election, Synergy invoicing for the last month in any quarter may instead be
included within the Quarterly True-Up Statement referred to below.)

		
	Quarterly True-Up Statements	  	Within a month and ten (10) days following the end of each quarter during the term of the applicable service, Verso shall furnish NewPage with a written statement comparing the aggregate Estimated Monthly Payments previously
invoiced to and paid by NewPage for such prior quarter with the actual costs allocable to NewPage as provided above for all services provided to NewPage or its subsidiaries for such prior quarter. Such statement shall also include the calculation
with reasonable supporting detail, or the amount owing and payable by Verso to NewPage, as a result of such true-up. At its election, Verso may also include the amounts of any compensable Synergies due and payable from NewPage for the last month in
any quarter in any Quarterly True-Up Statement.
		
	Determination and Payment	  	 Unless written objection to any Quarterly True-Up Statement is received by Verso from NewPage within ten (10) days of Verso’s delivery
thereto of such Quarterly True-Up Statement, such Quarterly True-Up Statement shall be final and binding. In the event NewPage provides timely notice that it disputes all or any portion of any Quarterly True-Up Statement, the dispute resolution
procedures set forth below shall govern the resolution of such dispute.
  
 The undisputed
portion of any amounts owing and payable pursuant to any Quarterly True-Up Statement shall be accounted for in the Monthly Estimate Statement for the calendar month immediately following the last month covered by such Quarterly True-Up Statement by
(i) increasing the amount otherwise owing and payable thereunder, in the case of amounts owing from NewPage under such Quarterly True-Up Statement or (ii) reducing the amount otherwise owing and payable thereunder, in the case of amounts owing to
NewPage under such Quarterly True-Up Statement, in each case on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

 SERVICE MANAGEMENT 
  

			
	Steering Committee	  	In order to monitor, coordinate and facilitate implementation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Verso and NewPage shall establish a “Steering Committee” consisting of at least one executive officer from each of
Verso and NewPage and whereby each of Verso and NewPage is equally represented (provided that the chairman of the Steering Committee shall in all cases be deemed a representative of both Verso and NewPage for purposes of determining equal
representation on the Steering Committee). The initial Steering Committee representatives shall be the Chief Financial Officer, who shall also serve as the initial chairman of the Steering Committee, a divisional financial representative of Verso
and a divisional financial representative of NewPage. The Steering Committee representatives shall meet at least quarterly (or more frequently if needed or reasonably requested by a representative) during the term of the Agreement to determine the
services to be provided and the payments to be made pursuant to the Agreement. Such determination with respect to the services to be provided shall include the scope, manner, level, and place or places where such services shall be provided. If the
members of the Steering Committee are unable (whether by majority vote or in such other manner as the members of the Steering Committee decide) to determine whether a service is to be provided, or the scope, manner, level and place or places at
which such service shall be provided, such service shall not be provided until such time as the members of the Steering Committee determine the relevant matters. The Steering Committee representative(s) for each party shall stay reasonably apprised
of the activities of the employees, agents and contractors of such party who are providing or receiving the services in order to maximize efficiency in the provision and receipt of the services.
		
	Additional Services	  	NewPage may, from time to time, request additional services that are not listed in the Agreement. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions by which Verso would be willing to perform such additional
services, if at all.
		
	Changes to Services	  	 The parties may agree to modify the terms and conditions of Verso’s performance of any service in order to reflect new procedures,
processes or other methods of providing such service. The parties will negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions upon which Verso would be willing to implement such change.

 
 Verso may make: (i) changes to the process of performing a particular service that do not
adversely affect the benefits to NewPage of Verso’s provision or quality of such service in any material respect or increase NewPage’s allocated costs for such service; (ii) emergency changes in the manner in which a particular service is
provided on a temporary and short-term basis; and/or (iii) changes to a particular service in order to comply with applicable law or regulatory requirements, in each case without obtaining the prior consent of
NewPage.

			
	Service Quality	  	Verso shall perform the services for NewPage (i) with reasonable care and skill, (ii) in a manner and quality and with a standard of care and scope that are consistent in all material respects with Verso’s and such
subsidiaries’ current practice in performing the services for the business and (iii) on a priority basis that is not materially lower in the aggregate than with respect to any similar services that are provided to Verso or any of its
affiliates. Verso shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide services to NewPage throughout the term without material interruption. Verso shall and shall instruct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its affiliates,
representatives, contractors, invitees and licensees to, in all material respects, provide the services in accordance with any applicable laws affecting or relating to the provision of the
services.

 ADDITIONAL TERMS 

 

			
	Term	  	Subject to the termination provisions set forth below, the initial term for the ongoing services shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue until the 3-year anniversary of such date, provided that on such expiration
date and each subsequent anniversary of such expiration date, the term shall be automatically extended for one additional year unless Verso or NewPage provides written notice to the contrary to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to such
expiration date (or any such anniversary, as applicable).
		
	Termination	  	 The Agreement shall terminate with respect to any or all services at the written election of the non-defaulting party upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default under the Agreement when the time to cure has lapsed. In addition, NewPage may terminate its receipt of any service for its convenience, without cause, by giving the providing party written notice not less than thirty (30) days
prior to the effective date of such termination. No such termination shall affect NewPage’s obligation to make payment to Verso for Synergies as set forth above.
  

An “Event of Default” shall exist with respect to Verso if Verso shall fail to perform or comply with, in any material respect, any of the
covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in the Agreement applicable to Verso and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from NewPage to Verso specifying in reasonable detail the nature
of such failure, or, in the case such failure is of a nature that it cannot, with due diligence and good faith, be cured within thirty (30) days, if Verso fails to proceed promptly and with all due diligence and in good faith to cure the same and
thereafter to prosecute the curing of such failure to completion with all due diligence within ninety (90) days after the initial delivery of written notice from NewPage with respect to such
failure.

			
		  	 An “Event of Default” shall exist with respect to NewPage if NewPage shall (i), unless subject to a good faith dispute, fail
to make any monetary payment required under the Agreement on or before the due date recited therein and such failure continues for thirty (30) business days after written notice from Verso specifying such failure, (ii) fail to perform or comply
with, in any material respect, any of the other covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in the Agreement applicable to NewPage and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Verso to
NewPage specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such failure, or, in the case such failure is of a nature that it cannot, with due diligence and good faith, cure within thirty (30) days, if NewPage fails to proceed promptly and with all due
diligence and in good faith to cure the same and thereafter to prosecute the curing of such failure to completion with all due diligence within ninety (90) days thereafter or (iii) consummate a Change of Control Transaction.

 
 A “Change of Control Transaction” shall mean any transaction or series of
transactions (as a result of a tender offer, merger, consolidation or otherwise) that results in, or that is in connection with, (i) any person or group, except Apollo or any of its respective affiliates, acquiring beneficial ownership, directly or
indirectly, of a majority of the then issued and outstanding equity of NewPage or (ii) the sale, lease, exchange, conveyance, transfer or other disposition (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of
the property or assets of NewPage and its subsidiaries to any person or group (including any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of NewPage, or any other distribution made, in connection therewith), except Apollo or any of its
respective affiliates.
  
 An “Event of Default” shall exist with respect
to a party if such party (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or any of its property, (ii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent
or (iv) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors, takes advantage of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law,
or admits the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceedings under any such law.

		
	Effects of Termination	  	Within 15 days of termination, NewPage shall pay all accrued and unpaid amounts due to Verso unless subject to a good faith dispute. Verso and its subsidiaries shall provide reasonable assistance to transfer the applicable services
to NewPage or a new third party provider at the expense of NewPage.
		
	Taxes	  	All applicable sales, use, value added, GST, transfer, receipts, consumption or other similar taxes chargeable on services provided for under the Agreement together with any interest, penalties or amounts imposed with respect
thereto (“Service Taxes”), regardless of whether such Service Taxes are added

			
		  	retroactively or subsequently imposed in connection with any tax audit, claim, assessment or other tax proceeding, shall be payable by Verso in the event that such Service Taxes relate to services provided by a third party (and
Verso shall be entitled to any recovery or credit in relation thereto).
		
	Indemnity	  	 NewPage shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Verso, its affiliates, subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors and
employees from and against any and all costs and expenses, losses, damages, claims, causes of action and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses of litigation) arising from, relating to, or in any way
connected with Verso’s and/or its subsidiaries’ provision of the services to NewPage and/or its subsidiaries, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Verso.

 
 Verso shall promptly provide NewPage with written notice of any claim, action or demand
for which indemnity is claimed. NewPage shall be entitled to control the defense of any action; provided, that Verso may participate in any such action with counsel of its choice at its own expense; and provided, further, that NewPage shall not
settle any claim, action or demand without the prior written consent of Verso, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Verso shall reasonably cooperate in the defense as NewPage may request and at NewPage’s expense.

 
 In no event shall any party, its affiliates and/or its or their respective directors,
officers, employees, representatives or agents be liable for any (i) indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages or (ii) damages for, measured by or based on lost profits, diminution in value, multiple of earnings or
other similar measure.

		
	Warranties	  	Verso shall make no warranty, express or implied, with respect to any or all of the services provided under the Agreement.
		
	Confidentiality	  	NewPage’s materials and/or information that may be provided to Verso in connection with the Agreement and Verso’s materials and/or information provided to NewPage in connection with the Agreement are proprietary trade
secrets and confidential information (“Confidential Information”) of NewPage and Verso, respectively. Each party (a “non-disclosing party”) agrees not to (i) disclose Confidential Information of the other party (a
“disclosing party”) to any third party other than its affiliates and such affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, partners, members, agents and advisors (including without limitations attorneys, accountants, consultants,
bankers and financial advisors (collectively “Representatives”) who need to know such information in connection with the Agreement and who are bound to keep it confidential or (ii) use Confidential Information except as necessary to
perform its obligations under the Agreement, in either case without the express written consent of the disclosing party. Further, each party shall be responsible for any breaches of the confidentiality
provisions

			
		  	 of the Agreement by its Representatives. Promptly upon the written request of a party (except as may be required to be maintained by law,
regulation or professional standard), all Confidential Information of such party shall be returned or destroyed and NewPage shall terminate and shall cause its employees, agents and Representatives to terminate all access to any and all Verso
computer systems; provided, however, that each party may keep archival copies of any Confidential Information for legal and compliance purposes as to comply with any bona fide records retention policy. These confidentiality provisions shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement.
  
 “Confidential
Information” shall not be deemed to include, and neither party shall have any confidentiality obligations with respect to, any information which (i) was known by the non-disclosing party or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis at
the time disclosed by the disclosing party; (ii) was known or becomes known by the public without any violation by the non-disclosing party or its Representatives; (iii) is disclosed lawfully to the non-disclosing party by another person; (iv) is
developed independently by the non-disclosing party without reference to the other party’s Confidential Information; or (v) is required by law or court order to be disclosed by the non-disclosing party; provided that to the extent permitted by
law the non-disclosing party notifies the disclosing party of such requirement and cooperates with the disclosing party at the disclosing party’s sole expense as the disclosing party may reasonably request to resist such
disclosure.

		
	Ownership and Licensing of Intellectual Property	  	If, in connection with its provision of the services, either party provides, or provides access to, the other party and/or its affiliates any intellectual property owned by such party, it shall grant the other party, during the term
of the Agreement, a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, fully paid up license to such intellectual property, solely to the extent necessary to receive the services in accordance with the Agreement. To the
extent that either party provides, or provides access to, the other party and/or its affiliates any intellectual property not owned by such party or its affiliates such party shall grant to the other party and/or its affiliates, during the term of
the Agreement, a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, fully paid-up sublicense to such intellectual property, solely to the extent necessary to provide or receive the services in accordance with the Agreement;
provided that any other party’s and its affiliates’ access to, use of and rights for such third-party intellectual property shall be subject in all regards to any restrictions, limitations or other terms or conditions imposed by the
licensor of such intellectual property, which terms and conditions were disclosed or otherwise made available to such party by the other party. Upon the termination or expiration of any element or sub-element of the service pursuant to the
Agreement, the license or sublicense, as applicable, to the relevant intellectual property provided in connection with that element or sub-element will automatically terminate; provided, however, that all licenses and sublicenses granted under the
Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

			
	Network Access and Security	  	 All interconnectivity by Verso to the computing systems and/or networks of NewPage and all attempts at such interconnectivity, shall be only
through the security gate-ways/firewalls of the parties; provided, that, during the term of the Agreement, NewPage may transition any such computing systems and/or networks to such security gateways/firewalls as determined by NewPage, and, subject
to the limitations set forth in the following provisos to this sentence, Verso shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation to NewPage in connection with such transition, provided that NewPage shall reimburse Verso for its reasonable costs or
expenses incurred in relation to such cooperation.
  
 Neither party shall access, and the
parties will take reasonable actions designed to prevent unauthorized persons to access, the computing systems and/or networks of the other party without the other party’s express written authorization or except as otherwise authorized or
reasonably required by the other party pursuant to the Agreement, and any such actual or attempted access shall be consistent with any such authorization or the Agreement.
  

The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain, and update pursuant to a commercially reasonable schedule, and more frequently in response
to specific threats that become known from time to time, a virus detection/scanning program in connection with the connectivity by NewPage to Verso computing systems and/or networks, which shall be consistent in all material respects with that used
by such parties immediately prior to the closing date of the Transaction.
  
 Verso shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a prudent security program, consistent in all material respects with that used by Verso immediately prior to the Effective Date, including appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards,
designed to (i) maintain the security and confidentiality of Verso’s systems and confidential information of NewPage on Verso’s systems, (ii) protect against any threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Verso’s systems
including the confidential, non-public and proprietary information of NewPage on Verso’s systems, and (iii) prevent unauthorized access to or use of Verso’s systems, including the confidential, non-public and proprietary information of
NewPage on Verso’s systems. NewPage shall comply with all physical, electronic, and procedural security policies and procedures maintained by Verso pursuant to the Agreement that have been made available by Verso to NewPage.

		
	Assignment	  	The Agreement shall not be assigned or transferred by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, the Agreement may be collaterally assigned to either the Verso or NewPage lenders as the case
may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Verso shall have the right to delegate or subcontract its obligations under the Agreement, including, without limitation, to any subsidiary or third party service provider; provided that any such delegation
or subcontracting shall not relieve Verso of its obligations under the Agreement and (ii) NewPage shall have the right to cause any services provided hereunder to be provided to any of NewPage’s subsidiaries in NewPage’s sole
discretion.

			
	Amendment	  	The Agreement may only be amended in writing, signed by all the parties.
		
	Governing Law and Jurisdiction	  	 The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and to
be performed wholly within such State and without reference to the choice-of-law principles that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.
  

Each party shall irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any federal court in the State of Delaware (or, solely if such courts decline jurisdiction, in any
state court located in the State of Delaware) any action arising out of or relating to the Agreement, and shall irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action may be heard and determined in such court. Each party shall irrevocably
waive, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action. The parties shall further agree, (A) to the extent permitted by law, that final and unappealable judgment against
either of them in any action contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and
amount of such judgment and (B) that service of process upon such party in any action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

		
	Dispute Resolution	  	 Each of NewPage and Verso agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to resolve disputes under the Agreement by a negotiated resolution
between the parties or as provided for in the Agreement.
  
 In the event of a dispute
under the Agreement, either NewPage or Verso may give a notice to the other party requesting that the Steering Committee in good faith try to resolve (but without any obligation to resolve) such dispute. Not later than fifteen (15) days after said
notice, each party shall submit to the other party a written statement setting forth such party’s description of the dispute and of the respective positions of the parties on such dispute and such party’s recommended resolution and the
reasons why such party feels its recommended resolution is fair and equitable in light of the terms and spirit of the Agreement. Such statements represent part of a good-faith effort to resolve a dispute and as such, no statements prepared by a
party pursuant thereto may be introduced as evidence or used as an admission against interest in any arbitral or judicial resolution of such dispute.
  

If the dispute continues unresolved for a period of seven (7) days (or such longer period as the Steering Committee may otherwise agree upon) after the
simultaneous exchange of such written statements, then the Steering Committee shall promptly commence good-faith negotiations to resolve such dispute but without any obligation to resolve it. Any such meeting may be conducted by
teleconference.

			
		  	Not later than thirty (30) days after the commencement of good-faith negotiations, if the Steering Committee renders an agreed resolution on the matter in dispute, then both NewPage and Verso shall be bound thereby. If the Steering
Committee has not resolved the matter in dispute within thirty (30) days after the commencement of good-faith negotiations, either NewPage or Verso may submit the dispute to any federal court in the State of Delaware in accordance with the terms of
the Governing Law and Jurisdiction provisions of the Agreement.
		
	No Right of Set-Off	  	No party shall have any right to set-off or offset any obligation or payment due to the other party pursuant to the terms of the Agreement against any obligation or payment due or owing to such party pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement.
		
	Force Majeure	  	No party to the Agreement (or any person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under the Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly
provided therein, so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of force majeure. The party claiming the benefit of such provision shall, as
soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (i) notify the other party of the nature, extent and expected duration of any such force majeure condition and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to remove any such causes and
resume performance under the Agreement as soon as feasible. NewPage shall not be required to pay for any suspended services during which such services are not being provided to NewPage. Verso agrees that if it experiences any shortage, interruption,
delay, inadequacy or limitation in the availability of any service by reason of force majeure and is unable to fulfill NewPage’s requirements for such services, Verso shall treat NewPage no less favorably than any other similarly situated
business in the allocation by Verso between such businesses and NewPage of such affected service and in a manner consistent with past practice. If Verso’s performance of any services is suspended or rendered impractical by reason of force
majeure for a period in excess of 30 days, then NewPage shall have the right to terminate the Agreement with respect to such services immediately upon written notice to Verso.

EXECUTION COPY 
 AMENDMENT NO. 1

 TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT AMONG 

NEWPAGE HOLDINGS INC. AND EACH OF THE STOCKHOLDERS PARTY THERETO 

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”), dated as of January 3, 2014 to the Stockholders Agreement (the
“Stockholders Agreement”), dated as of December 21, 2012, among NewPage Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and each of the Stockholders party thereto, is entered into among the Company and
those Stockholders whose name and number of shares held in the capital stock of the Company are listed on the signature pages hereto (together with the Company, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Stockholders Agreement. 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iii) of the Stockholders
Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any contract, agreement, arrangement or commitment to, among other things, merge with or into any other Person (other than transactions solely involving
the merger of a wholly owned Subsidiary with or into the Company or another wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company) without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of Stockholders who Beneficially Own a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock held by all Stockholders (the “Stockholder Signing Approval”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company, Verso Paper
Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Verso Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) wish to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”); 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of the Stockholders Agreement, on or before the IPO Target Date, the Company is required to
file, and thereafter is required to use its best efforts to cause to be declared effective as promptly as practicable, a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the registration and sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an underwritten primary
or secondary public offering that results in a Qualified Public Offering (the “IPO Covenant”); 
 WHEREAS, the Parties wish
to terminate the Stockholders Agreement at the Effective Time of the Merger (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement); 
 WHEREAS,
pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Stockholders Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement may be modified or amended only by a writing signed by the Company and by Stockholders that Beneficially Own in the aggregate at least sixty-six and
two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by all Stockholders (subject to certain provisos contained therein); and 

WHEREAS, the Company and each of the undersigned Stockholders hereto, having collectively the requisite power and authority to amend the
Stockholders Agreement pursuant to its terms, wish to (i) amend and restate Section 2.5(a)(iii) of the Stockholders Agreement as 

 
provided herein to permit the entry by the Company into the Merger Agreement without obtaining the Stockholder Signing Approval, (ii) amend and restate Section 7.1(a) of the
Stockholders Agreement to set a new IPO Target Date and (iii) amend Section 8.1 of the Stockholders Agreement to provide for its termination at the Effective Time of the Merger. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms, covenants and conditions contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 

Section 1. Stockholder Signing Approval. Section 2.5(a)(iii) of the Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(iii) enter into any contract, agreement, arrangement or commitment to do or engage in
any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior to January 6, 2014, the Company may enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Verso Paper Corp., a Delaware corporation and Verso Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Verso Paper Corp. (the “Verso Merger Agreement”), without having obtained the affirmative vote or written consent of Stockholders who Beneficially Own a majority of the outstanding
share of Common Stock held by all Stockholders.” 
 Section 2. IPO Covenant. Section 7.1(a) of the Stockholders
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “On or before the date that is twelve (12) months
after the date of termination, if any, of the Verso Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “IPO Target Date”), the Company shall file, and shall thereafter use its best efforts to cause to be declared effective as
promptly as practicable, a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the registration and sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an underwritten primary or secondary public offering that results in a Qualified Public Offering (the “IPO
Registration Statement”).” 
 Section 3. Termination. Section 8.1 of the Stockholders Agreement is
hereby amended to include the following sentence at the end thereof: 
 “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the Effective Time of the Merger (as such terms are defined in the Verso Merger Agreement); provided that Section 6.2 shall survive such termination and the obligations set forth in
Section 6.2 shall survive for the applicable time periods as set forth in Section 6.2, and Sections 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.10, 8.11, 8.12 and 8.13 shall survive such termination
indefinitely.” 
 Section 4. Effect of Amendment. This Amendment shall not constitute an amendment or waiver of any
provision of the Stockholders Agreement except as expressly stated herein. Except as expressly amended hereby, the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement shall remain unchanged and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect
in accordance with its terms. 

 Section 5. Counterparts; Headings. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be signed by the Company and one or more Stockholders, and all of which are deemed to be one and the same agreement binding upon the Company and each of the Stockholders. The headings of the various sections of this Amendment
have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be a part of this Amendment. 
 Section 6.
Miscellaneous. The provisions of Sections 8.6, 8.7, 8.10, 8.11, 8.12 and 8.13 of the Stockholders Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Amendment.
