 Exhibit 10.8 
 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental
Indenture”), dated as of December 21, 2007, among Stora Enso North America Inc., a Delaware corporation, Stora Enso North America Corp., a Wisconsin corporation, Stora Enso North America Canadian Sales, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, and Stora Enso Port Hawkesbury Limited, a Nova Scotia company (each a “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”, and collectively, the “Guaranteeing Subsidiaries”), each a subsidiary of NewPage Corporation (or
its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to
below (the “Trustee”). 
 WITNESSETH 
 WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (as amended or supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”), dated as of May 2, 2005 providing for
the issuance of 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain
circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and
the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to
Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the
Holders as follows: 
 1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. Each of the
Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Subsidiary Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 11 thereof. 
 3. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
manager, incorporator (or Persons forming a limited liability company), stockholder or agent or member of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries
under the Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note and a Subsidiary Guarantee waives
and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 4. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF
THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 

 5. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture.
Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 
 6. EFFECT OF
HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 7.
THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of
which recitals are made solely by each of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Company.
