of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency; and provided further that the L/C Issuer may use such spot rate quoted on the date as of which the foreign exchange computation
is made in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency.

first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period or (ii) if such rate is not available at such time for any reason, the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate at which deposits in
Dollars for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period in same day funds in the approximate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loan being made, continued or converted and with a term equivalent to such Interest Period would be offered by Bank of
America’s London Branch to major banks in the London interbank eurodollar market at their request at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two London Banking Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period; and 

(b) for any interest rate calculation with respect to a Base Rate Loan on any date, the rate per annum equal to

 (d) The definition of “Obligations” in Section 1.01 of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: 
 “Obligations” means all advances
to, and debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties of, any Loan Party arising under any Loan Document or otherwise with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit, whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assumption), absolute
or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising and including interest and fees that accrue after the commencement by or against any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws naming
such Person as the debtor in such proceeding, regardless of whether such interest and fees are allowed claims in such proceeding. The foregoing shall also include (a) all obligations under any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Swap
Bank that is permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 8.03(d) and (b) all obligations under any Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Treasury Management Bank; provided, that the
“Obligations” of a Guarantor shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor. 
 (e) Section 1.06 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: 
 1.06 Letter of Credit Amounts. 
 Unless otherwise specified
herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that,
by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of maximum stated amount of
such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. 
 (f) A new Section 1.07 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement to read as follows: 
 1.07 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. 
 (a) The L/C Issuer
shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and
shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder, calculating financial covenants
hereunder or as otherwise provided herein (including clause (b) below), the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the L/C Issuer.

 (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit,
an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple 

 
amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount
(rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the L/C Issuer. 
 (g) A new Section 1.08 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement to read as follows: 
 1.08 Additional Alternative Currencies. 
 (a) The Borrower
may from time to time request that Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than
Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. Such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer. 

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., twenty (20) Business Days
prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, in their sole discretion). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Issuer of such request.
The L/C Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency.

 (c) Any failure by the L/C Issuer to respond to such request within the time period specified in the
preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by the L/C Issuer to permit Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested
currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall
fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.08, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower. 

(h) A new Section 1.09 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement to read as follows: 

1.09 Change of Currency. 
 (a) Each obligation of the Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof
shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation); provided that if and to the extent that such legislation or member state provides that any such obligation may be paid by the debtor in either
the Euro or such other currency, then the Borrower shall be permitted to repay such amount either in the Euro or such other currency. If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this
Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or
practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency. 

 (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable
changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

 (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency. 

(i) Clause (i)(A)(1) of Section 2.03(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

 (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, to issue Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and 

(j) The penultimate sentence in Section 2.03(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as
follows: 
 Furthermore, each Lender acknowledges and confirms that it has a participation interest in the
liability of the L/C Issuer under the Existing Letters of Credit (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sterling Letter of Credit) in a percentage equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans. 

(k) Clause (iii)(D) of Section 2.03(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

 (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;
or 
 (l) Clause (i)(B) of Section 2.03(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as
follows: 
 (B) the amount and currency thereof; 

(m) Clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 2.03(c) of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended to read as
follows: 
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such
Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency,
unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the
L/C Issuer promptly 

 
following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C
Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to
the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency of such drawing; provided, that, the Borrower has received notice of such payment by 10:00 a.m. on such Honor Date, otherwise the Borrower shall make such payment not later than
11:00 a.m. on the following Business Day (together with interest thereon). In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this
Section 2.03(c)(i) and (B) the Dollar amount paid by the Borrower whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in
the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, the Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the L/C Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount
of the drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar
Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in Dollars to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments (it being understood and agreed that no Default or Event of Default caused solely by the Borrower’s failure to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any Unreimbursed Amount in accordance with the first sentence of this
Section 2.03(c)(i) shall exist to the extent such Unreimbursed Amount is refinanced by a borrowing of Revolving Loans in the amount of such Unreimbursed Amount pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)). Any notice given by the L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or
binding effect of such notice. 
 (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions
of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.

 (n) The “or” at the end of clause (iv) of
Section 2.03(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted; clause (v) of Section 2.03(e) is hereby renumbered to be clause (vi), and a new clause (v) is added to Section 2.03(e) of the Credit Agreement
to read as follows: 
 (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the
relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or 
 (o) The text of Section 2.03(h) of the Credit Agreement that precedes the first proviso in Section 2.03(h) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: 

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily maximum amount available to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit; 
 (p) Section 2.03(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended to read as follows: 
 (i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the actual
daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) and on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with
Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account in Dollars the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C
Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 

(q) Section 2.12(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: 

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such
payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. If for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any payment required
hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or
other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in 

 
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on
the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (r) The “;” at the end of Section 3.05(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the text “; or” and a new Section 3.05(d) is hereby added
to the Credit Agreement to read as follows: 
 (d) any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any drawing
under any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; 
 (s) A new Section 4.08 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement to read as follows: 
 4.08 Keepwell. 
 Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP
Guarantor at the time the Guaranty in this Article IV by any Guarantor that is not then an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act (a “Specified Guarantor”) or the grant of a security interest
under the Loan Documents by any such Specified Guarantor, in either case, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other
support to each Specified Guarantor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Guarantor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case,
only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Article IV voidable under applicable Debtor Relief Laws, and not for any
greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each applicable Loan Party under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive the
termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitment has expired or terminated. Each Loan Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and
a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Guarantor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. 
 (t) A new clause (d) is added to Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement to read as follows: 
 (d) In the case of a Credit Extension to be denominated in an Alternative Currency, there shall not have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or
currency exchange rates or exchange controls which in the reasonable opinion of the L/C Issuer would make it impracticable for such Credit Extension to be denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency. 

 (u) The following sentence is hereby added at the end of the last paragraph
of Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement to read as follows: 
 Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any
Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations set forth above in this Section. 

2. Conditions Precedent. This Agreement shall be effective upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: 

(a) receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this Agreement duly executed by the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer, the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties; and 
 (b) receipt by the Administrative Agent of all
legal fees and expenses of its counsel in connection with this Agreement. 
 3. Miscellaneous. 

(a) The Credit Agreement and the obligations of the Loan Parties thereunder and under the other Loan Documents, are
hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms. 
 (b) Each
Guarantor (i) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) affirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) agrees that this Agreement and all documents executed in connection
herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge its obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 (c) The Borrower and the Guarantors hereby represent and warrant as follows: 
 (i) Each Loan Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. 

(ii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Loan Parties and constitutes each of the Loan
Parties’ legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (B) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 

(iii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any court or
governmental authority or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of this Agreement. 
 (d) The Loan Parties represent and warrant to the Lenders that (i) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan
Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, 

 
except (x) that any such representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or a reference to Material Adverse Effect is true and correct in all respects on and as of the date
hereof and (y) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except that any such representation and
warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect is true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date) and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.

 (e) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as an original and shall constitute a representation that an executed
original shall be delivered. 
 (f) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 Dear John, 
 We are
pleased to confirm the terms of your continued employment with Domtar Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Your employment with the Company commenced as of January 1, 2009 (your “Start Date”) in
accordance with the terms of our letter to you dated September 15, 2008 (the “Prior Letter Agreement”). As of January 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), your employment with the Company will continue on the
terms set forth herein. This letter agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Prior Letter Agreement as of the Effective Date. 
 1. Duties. You will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with such duties and responsibilities as are customarily assigned to individuals holding such positions and such
other duties and responsibilities consistent with the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer as may be specified by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). You will report directly to the Board and will
devote all of your skill, knowledge and full working time solely and exclusively to the conscientious performance of your duties hereunder, other than authorized vacation time and absence for sickness or disability. You will be nominated annually
for election as a director of the Company during the period of your employment with the Company pursuant to the terms of this letter agreement. You agree to devote your full business time to the business and affairs of the Company Group (as
hereinafter defined) except for (i) time spent serving on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees provided that such service (individually or in the aggregate) does not materially interfere with the performance of your duties and
responsibilities, that service on any corporate board is subject to the prior approval of the Board and that no such activities involve being involved with a competitive organization, and (ii) periods of vacation and sick leave to which you are
entitled. 

 2. Location. You shall perform your duties at the Company’s head office in
Montreal, Quebec, Canada or its Operations Center in Fort Mill, South Carolina, USA (although from time to time you may be required to travel to other locations to properly fulfill your responsibilities). 

3. Term. This letter shall be construed as a contract for employment for an indefinite period, subject to termination in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11. 
 4. Base Salary. Your base salary will be paid in U.S. dollars at
the current annualized rate (the “Base Salary”), which rate may be increased from time to time by the Board in its sole discretion and shall be reviewed annually by the Board (or in each case by the Human Resources Committee of the
Board). Your Base Salary shall be payable at the same time as the Company pays salary to members of the management committee of the Company (the “Management Committee”). 

5. Annual Incentive Bonus. While you are employed, you will be eligible to participate in the Domtar Corporation Annual Incentive
Plan (as amended from time to time and including any successor to such plan, the “Annual Incentive Plan”). Your target and maximum annual bonus under the Annual Incentive Plan will be as determined by the Board (or the Human
Resources Committee of the Board). Bonuses will be subject to and paid in accordance with the Annual Incentive Plan, a copy of which has previously been provided to you. 
 Any annual bonus with respect to a particular year will be payable within two and a half months following the end of such year. 
 6. Long Term Incentive Awards. You will be eligible to participate in the Domtar Corporation 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time and including any successor to such plan, the
“Stock Incentive Plan”), as determined by the Board (or the Human Resources Committee of the Board). 
 7.
SERP. You shall be eligible to participate in the DB SERP for Management Committee Members of Domtar (the “DB SERP”) as of your Start Date. You will be entitled to an additional two months of credited service under the DB
SERP for each 12 months of actual service (pro rated for any period of service of less than 12 months) from your Start Date, up to a maximum of 12 months of additional credited service. 

8. Company Plane. While you are employed, you may use the Company plane for business travel, when necessary, subject to quarterly
review by the Human Resources Committee of the Board; provided that you will be required to reimburse the Company in an amount equivalent to a first class commercial fare for any passengers traveling with you on the Company plane for reasons
other than business. You will be entitled to use the Company plane for personal reasons for up to 24 hours per calendar year during the term of your employment, and hereby acknowledge and agree that you will be solely responsible for any taxes
incurred by you with respect to this benefit.

 9. Employee Benefits. (a) While you are employed, and effective as of
May 1, 2013, you will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs generally available to the Company’s senior U.S.-based employees as in effect from time to time, on the same basis as the Company’s other
employees, subject to the terms and provisions of such plans and programs. Detailed information about the benefit plans and about our Human Resources policies and programs has been provided to you. You will receive a minimum of four weeks paid
vacation per year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not participate in any U.S. qualified pension plans until January 1, 2014 and shall continue to accrue benefits under a Canadian qualified pension plan through December 31, 2013.

 (b) You shall also receive additional financial planning and medical benefits on the same basis as, and to the extent that,
such benefits are provided to members of the Management Committee.

reimbursed by the Company for annual dues for one business, athletic or country club in the Charlotte, North Carolina or Montreal, Canada area. 
 10. Expenses. The Company will reimburse you for all reasonable expenses incurred by you in connection with your performance of services under this letter agreement in accordance with the
Company’s policies, practices and procedures. 
 11. Termination of Employment. 

(a) You are free to terminate your employment at any time for any reason whatsoever; provided that you provide the Company with six
months prior written notice of your termination, or such lesser period as shall be agreed by the Human Resources Committee of the Board (the “Resignation Notice Period”). During the Resignation Notice Period you shall continue to
receive your base salary and continue to receive the compensation and benefits associated with your employment described generally in this letter agreement. The Company may elect in its sole discretion to place you on paid leave and suspend your
duties and responsibilities for all or any part of such Resignation Notice Period. During the Resignation Notice Period, you shall not perform services for any other business or employer. During the Resignation Notice Period, the Company may also
elect to terminate your employment prior to the termination of the Resignation Notice Period and pay you the outstanding Base Salary for the balance of the Resignation Notice Period in a lump sum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
benefit provided under this Section 11(a) following your Separation from Service that is subject to Section 409A of the Code (as hereinafter defined) will be paid at the same time and in the same manner that the severance allowance or
other comparable benefit described in Section 11(b) is required to be paid. If you are terminated before termination of the Resignation Notice Period and paid salary as set forth in the preceding two sentences (as applicable), you will not be
entitled to any additional payment or other benefits which you otherwise would have accrued or received during the Resignation Notice Period or the remainder of the Resignation Notice Period. Actions taken by the Company pursuant to this
Section 11(a) shall not entitle you to any severance or other benefits under Section 11(b) or (c) or otherwise. 

  

					
	

	 	3	 	

 (b) The Company reserves the right to terminate your employment at any time for any reason
whatsoever and with or without notice, subject to the provisions of this Section 11. Upon a termination of your employment by the Company for reasons other than (i) death or Cause, (ii) a breach by you of your obligations under
Sections 12 – 17, inclusive, or of any representation or warranty made by you in this letter agreement or (iii) a material breach by you of any other term or condition of this letter agreement, subject to your execution, delivery
and non-revocation within 21 days after your termination of a general release in a form provided by the Company, and notwithstanding any provisions of the Domtar Severance Program for Management Committee Members (the “Domtar Severance
Program”) (a copy of which has been provided to you), this letter agreement or any plan or other document referenced in this letter agreement to the contrary, you will receive the following payments and benefits: 

 

	 	(i)	a severance allowance of 24 months (such period, the “Severance Period”) of your Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of termination, such
severance allowance to be paid in accordance with the terms of the Domtar Severance Program; provided that, if such termination is due to disability, your monthly disability payments during the Severance Period shall be reduced by an amount equal to
your monthly Base Salary rate in effect at the time of termination, but in no month shall the reduction exceed the amount of your disability payment. If you remain disabled at the end of the Severance Period, you shall be entitled to disability
payments under the Company’s disability policies, as amended from time to time, as if your disability had first occurred immediately prior to the end of the Severance Period. 

 

	 	(ii)	 (x) the bonus you would have received pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan for the year in which such termination by the Company occurs if you
had continued in employment based on achievement of the applicable performance criteria for such year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such calendar year prior to your Separation from Service and the
denominator of which is the total number of days in such calendar year, (y) if such termination by the Company occurs after the end of a calendar year, any bonus you otherwise would have received pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan for such
calendar 

  

					
	

	 	4	 	

	 	
year that has not been paid as of the date of termination and (z) for each calendar year during the Severance Period, a payment equal to the average of the bonus payments received by you
under the Annual Incentive Plan for the two years immediately preceding the year in which such termination occurs, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Severance Period during such calendar year and the
denominator of which is the total number of days in such calendar year (it being understood that the aggregate of such payments shall equal but not exceed two times such bonus average or target bonus as applicable), with any payment to which you
become entitled under clause (x), (y) or (z) to be made on the date in the following calendar year that bonuses for the relevant calendar year are paid to the members of the Management Committee but in no event later than March 15 of such
following calendar year; 

  

	 	(iii)	continued coverage under the Company’s health insurance policies, subject, if applicable, to Section 21(c), until the last day of the Severance Period or, if
earlier, the date on which coverage from another employer is obtained; 

  

	 	(iv)	all awards granted to you under the Stock Incentive Plan, including any unvested Options, PSUs and RSUs shall continue to vest, become exercisable, be paid or settled
(as applicable) and otherwise be treated under the governing agreements and the Stock Incentive Plan as if you had remained in employment through the last day of the Severance Period; 

 

	 	(v)	you shall accrue service credit under the DB SERP for the duration of the Severance Period; 

 

	 	(vi)	to the extent not already expressly provided for in this Section 11(b) (and excluding the benefits provided under this Section 11(b)) you shall be entitled to
all other benefits, payments and consideration provided under the Domtar Severance Program, the Domtar North American Assignment Policy and other Domtar policies (as such programs and policies may be amended from time to time) providing other
payments, benefits, and consideration on a termination of employment for reasons other than (x) death or Cause, (y) a breach by you of your obligations under Sections 12 – 17, inclusive, or of any representation or warranty
made by you in this letter agreement, or (z) a material breach by you of any other term or condition of this letter agreement. 

 For the avoidance of doubt, no awards shall be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan after your Separation from Service. 

  

					
	

	 	5	 	

 No severance or other benefits shall be payable upon your resignation from employment or if
you engage in any of the actions described in Sections 12 – 17 of this letter agreement. 
 Severance and other
benefits provided under this Section 11 includes any pay in lieu of notice and severance pay required by law and, except as expressly provided herein, is in lieu of and not in addition to any severance or other benefits payable under any
applicable Domtar severance policy. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event your employment terminates within 3 months
prior to or 24 months following the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Domtar Severance Program) in a manner that would qualify for severance under the Domtar Severance Program, no severance or other benefits shall be payable under
this letter agreement and you shall be instead entitled to the severance and other benefits payable under the Domtar Severance Program; provided that the severance and other benefits payable under the Domtar Severance Program that are subject to
Section 409A of the Code will be paid at the same time and in the same manner as the severance allowance or other comparable benefit described in Section 11(b) is required to be paid; and provided, further, that no severance or other
benefits shall be payable if you engage in any of the actions described in Sections 12 – 17 of this letter agreement. 
 (c) Any benefits payable to you pursuant to this Section 11 will be in full satisfaction of all liabilities to you under this letter agreement and with respect to any other claim you may have in
conjunction with your termination of employment. These benefits will not be subject to any offset, mitigation or other reduction as a result of your receiving salary or other benefits by reason of your securing other employment. If you die before
the payments, benefits and other consideration have been paid or provided to you under Section 11, such payments, benefits and other consideration shall be paid or provided to your estate or your designated beneficiary, as applicable.

 (d) For purposes of this letter, “Cause” means (i) your willful failure to perform substantially
your duties as an officer and employee of the Company (other than due to physical or mental illness), (ii) your engaging in serious misconduct that is injurious to the Company, (iii) your having been convicted of a crime that
constitutes an indictable offense under the Canadian Criminal Code or a felony under U.S. law, (iv) your willful unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information or violation of the Confidential Information and Intellectual Property
Agreement or (v) your material breach of any provision of this letter agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a termination by the Company due to disability shall be deemed a termination without Cause entitling you to the payments,
benefits and other consideration set forth in Sections 11(b) and (c). 
 (e) Upon a termination of your employment due to
retirement or early retirement in accordance with the terms of the DB SERP, you shall participate in the DB SERP as described in Section 7 and be entitled to receive such post-retirement payments and benefits as are provided under the plans,
policies and programs of the Company in which you participate as of the date of your retirement, as the same may be amended from time to time.

 12. Unauthorized Disclosure. During your employment with the Company and at all times
thereafter, except as required pursuant to your good faith exercise of your duties under Section 1 of this letter agreement, you will not, except with the express consent of the Board of Directors or its authorized representative, disclose any
confidential or proprietary trade secrets, customer lists, drawings, designs, information regarding product development, marketing plans, sales plans, manufacturing plans, management organization information, operating policies or manuals, business
plans, financial records, packaging design or other financial, commercial, business or technical information (i) relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or (ii) that the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) may receive belonging to suppliers, customers or others who do business with the Company or any of their respective affiliates (collectively, “Confidential
Information”) to any third person unless such Confidential Information has been previously disclosed to the public or is in the public domain (other than by reason of your breach of this letter agreement). 

You acknowledge and agree that you have signed and are bound by the Company’s form of Confidential Information and Intellectual
Property Agreement. 
 13. Non-Competition. While you are employed, and during the period commencing on the date of your
Separation from Service and ending 24 months thereafter (such period, the “Restriction Period”), you agree that you shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in business with, serve as an agent or consultant to, become a general
partner, member, principal or important stockholder or equity holder (other than a holder of less than 2% of the outstanding voting shares of any publicly held entity) of or become employed in a senior-level management position by, any person, firm
or other entity that competes with the Business (as hereinafter defined) of the Company Group in North America or any other location or market in which the Company Group conducts the Business or markets its products, except where (i) the
business of such person, firm or other entity that competes with the business of the Company Group is negligible or incidental to the primary business of such firm such that less than 10% of the consolidated revenues of such person, firm or other
entity comes from the competing business, (ii) your interest or association with such person, firm or other entity does not and will not in any way relate to the business of the Company Group, and (iii) prior to your commencing any such
employment, you certify in writing to the Company that the position satisfies the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above and that you have informed such entity of the restrictions on your activities contained in this letter agreement.
Whether any such person, firm or entity competes with the Business of the Company Group shall be determined in good faith by the Board. For purposes of this letter agreement, “Business” shall mean the business of the Company Group
as described in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K during your employment or at the time of your Separation from Service, as applicable, or other similar report under the Company’s securities law or stock exchange
requirements at such time.

 14. Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restriction Period, you agree that you
shall not, directly or indirectly, for your own account or for the account of any other person or entity with which you are or shall become associated in any capacity, (i) solicit for employment, employ or otherwise interfere with the
relationship of the Company Group with any person who at any time during the twelve months preceding such solicitation, employment or interference is or was employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Company Group, other than any
such solicitation or employment during your employment with the Company on behalf of the Company Group, or (ii) induce any employee of the Company Group who is a member of management to engage in any activity which you are prohibited
from engaging in under any of Sections 12 – 17, inclusive or to terminate his or her employment with the Company Group. For purposes of this Section 14, the placement of “help wanted” advertisements, postings on
internet job sites and searches by employment search companies which are not specifically targeting employees of the Company Group shall not result in a violation of this Section 14. 

15. Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Restriction Period, you shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) induce or
attempt to induce any customer, distributor, supplier or other business relation of the Company Group to cease doing business with, or reduce the amount of business conducted with, the Company Group or (ii) solicit or otherwise attempt to
establish for yourself or any other person, firm or entity anywhere in North America, or in any other location or market in which the Company Group conducts the Business or markets its products, any business relationship of a nature that is
competitive with the Business or relationship of any member of the Company Group with any person, firm or corporation which was a customer, client or distributor of any member of the Company Group during the period during which you are employed or
during the twelve-month period preceding the date of your Separation from Service (and whom you came into contact with or had knowledge of as a result of your employment with the Company), other than any such solicitation for the benefit of the
Company Group during your employment with the Company Group. 
 16. Return of Documents. In the event of the termination
of your employment for any reason, you shall deliver to the Company Group all of its property and non-personal documents and data of any nature and in whatever medium pertaining to your employment with the Company Group, and you shall not take with
you any such property, documents or data of any description or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information.

 (a) You acknowledge and agree that your covenants, obligations and agreements under this letter with respect to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality and Company Group property relate to

agree that the Company Group shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain you from
committing any violation of the covenants, obligations or agreements referred to in this Section 17. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company Group may have. You and the Company Group

the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that (i) the sole and exclusive appropriate venue for any suit or proceeding relating solely to such injunctive relief shall be in such a court, (ii) claims with respect to any
request or application for such injunctive relief shall be heard and determined exclusively in such a court, (iii) any such court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any
dispute relating to any request or application for such injunctive relief and (iv) each hereby waives any and all objections and defenses based on forum, venue or personal or subject matter jurisdiction as they may relate to an
application for such injunctive relief in a suit or proceeding brought before such a court in accordance with the provisions of this Section 17. 
 (b) You and the Company Group agree that you will have a prominent role in the management of the business, and the development of the goodwill, of the Company Group and will establish and develop
relations and contacts with the principal customers and suppliers of the Company Group in Canada, the United States and the rest of the world, all of which constitute valuable goodwill of, and could be used by you to compete unfairly with, the
Company Group. 
 (c) You acknowledge that (i) in the course of your employment with the Company Group, you will
obtain confidential information and trade secrets concerning the worldwide business and operations of the Company Group; (ii) the covenants and restrictions contained in Sections 12 – 17, inclusive, are intended to protect
the legitimate interests of the Company Group to protect its goodwill, trade secrets and other confidential information; and (iii) you agree to be bound by such covenants and restrictions and to enter into this letter agreement.

 (b) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this letter agreement to the contrary, if you are a
“specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “Specified Employee”), any payment required to be made to you hereunder or otherwise upon or following the date of termination of your employment that is

event that any continued health coverage to which you become entitled under Section 11(b)(iii) is subject to Section 409A, such benefits shall be administered as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	If you would otherwise be eligible to elect continued health coverage under Section 4980B of the Code (COBRA) (x) if permitted by the applicable plan and
applicable law, your coverage under the applicable health insurance policies maintained by the Company will remain in effect until the last day on which you would otherwise be eligible for COBRA coverage if you had elected such coverage and paid the
applicable premiums (the “COBRA Period”) and the Company shall reimburse you for the excess of the cost of obtaining comparable health insurance coverage for the portion of the Severance Period (if any) that extends beyond the COBRA
Period over your cost of continued coverage for the COBRA Period; or (y) if not so permitted, the Company shall reimburse you for the excess of the cost of COBRA coverage over what would have been your cost of continued coverage for the COBRA
Period under the applicable health insurance policies had you been permitted to continue coverage for the COBRA Period, and the excess of the cost of obtaining comparable health insurance coverage for the portion of the Severance Period (if any)
that extends beyond the COBRA Period over what would have been your cost of continued coverage for the COBRA Period under the applicable health insurance policies had you been permitted to continue coverage for the COBRA Period; provided that, if
you are a Specified Employee you will pay the full cost of any health coverage for which you would otherwise be reimbursed under clause (x) or (y), as applicable, during the six-month period following the date of your Separation from Service,
with the full amount of such costs to be reimbursed to you on the first payroll date following the six-month anniversary of the date or your Separation from Service. If you obtain equivalent or better coverage elsewhere, this coverage will
terminate. 

  

	 	(ii)	If you would not otherwise be eligible to elect COBRA coverage, your coverage under the applicable health insurance policies maintained by the Company will remain in
effect until the last day of the Severance Period; provided that, if you are a Specified Employee you will pay the full cost of any such health coverage provided to you for the six-month period following the date of your Separation from Service,
with the full amount of such costs to be reimbursed to you on the first payroll date following the six-month anniversary of the date or your Separation from Service. If you obtain equivalent or better coverage elsewhere, this coverage will

 (e) It is intended that any
payment, reimbursement or in-kind benefit under this letter agreement be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements, where applicable, of Section 409A in a manner to avoid the imposition of immediate tax recognition and

This letter agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

(c) You agree that you will abide by and adhere to all laws and rules and regulations of the various regulatory and/or self-regulatory
organizations of which the Company or any of its affiliates or related entities are members, as well as all internal rules, regulations, policies and codes of conduct that the Company has established.

before granting such waiver, (iii) your education, business experience and prior relationship with the Company makes you qualified to understand the ramifications of such waiver and (iv) the Company’s request for such waiver was not
