Chip and Log Supply Agreement

We refer to the Chip and Log Supply Agreement made as of the 8th day of June, 1998
between MacMillan Bloedel Limited, a predecessor to Cascadia Forest Products Ltd. (“Seller”) and MB
Paper Limited, a predecessor to Catalyst Paper Corporation (“Buyer”) as amended by a letter dated
October 16, 2003.

Terms used in this letter which are defined in the Chip and Log Supply Agreement have corresponding
meanings unless the context of this letter otherwise requires or unless such terms are otherwise
defined in this letter.

We confirm our mutual agreement pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Chip and Log Supply Agreement to
replace the Formula Chip Price as the Chip Price for the period October 1, 2005 to September 30,
2007 with a pricing mechanism based on Pulp Mill Net as follows:

	(a)	 	for the purposes of this pricing mechanism “Pulp Mill Net” means, for any Quarter, the
weighted average of the gross selling price expressed in Canadian dollars on a per tonne basis
for all long fibre kraft pulp produced for sale at Buyer’s Crofton pulp and paper mill and
sold during the Quarter, after deducting all customer discounts, rebates, commissions,
freight, wharfage, handling, insurance and other similar costs that Buyer pays or allows in
order to arrive at the net selling price that Buyer receives on a per tonne basis, converted
to Canadian funds using, for each of Buyer’s fiscal months or partial fiscal months included
in the Quarter, the average of the daily exchange rate over such fiscal months of the Bank of
Canada noon rate of exchange between the Canadian dollar and the relevant currencies;

	(b)	 	for the period October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2007, the Chip Price will be determined as
follows:

	 	(i)	 	with respect to Hemlock Chips delivered during the Quarter, a price per
Volumetric Unit equal to (***) of the Pulp Mill Net for the Quarter;

	 	(ii)	 	with respect to Douglas Fir Chips delivered during the Quarter, the price in
item (i) less (***) per Volumetric Unit;

 

 

 

	 	(iii)	 	with respect to yellow Cedar Chips delivered during the Quarter, (***) of the
price in item (i); and

	 	(iv)	 	with respect to Western Red Cedar Chips delivered during the Quarter, (***) of
the price in item (i).

The parties will meet again in September, 2007 to agree to either maintain Chip pricing based on
the above mechanism or to settle a variation for the two year period commencing October 1, 2007.

This letter forms part of and is to be read together with the Chip and Log Supply Agreement. The
Chip and Log Supply Agreement, as amended by this letter, remains in full force and effect.

Please confirm your agreement with the above by signing and returning the enclosed copy of this
letter.

Yours very truly,

THIS AGREEMENT made as of the 10th day of October, 2006

BETWEEN:

CATALYST PAPER CORPORATION, 1600 — 250 Howe Street,

WHEREAS:

	A.	 	Catalyst and Western are parties to a Chip and Log Supply Agreement (the “Chip and Log Supply

predecessor to Western) and MB Paper Limited (a predecessor to Catalyst);

	B.	 	Western intends to permanently shut down the timber processing facility located on the Fraser
River and referred to as the “New Westminster Division” in the definition of Specific MB
Sawmills in the Chip and Log Supply Agreement (the “New Westminster Division”); and

	C.	 	The parties have agreed to amend the Chip and Log Supply Agreement to reflect the closure of
the New Westminster Division and to clarify certain other matters set out in the Chip and Log
Supply Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES that, in consideration of good and valuable consideration
(the receipt of which each party acknowledges) and the agreements hereafter set out, the parties
agree as follows:

	1.	 	Definitions

Terms used in this Agreement which are defined in the Chip and Log Supply Agreement have
corresponding meanings.

 

 

 

	2.	 	Waiver

Provided that lumber production at the New Westminster Division by Western ceases
permanently within 6 months after the date of this Agreement, Catalyst hereby:

	 	(a)	 	in consideration of the change to the definition of the term “Harmac Tenure
Commitment” as set out below and effective upon Western commencing to supply Chips to
Harmac from or obtained in exchange for Chips from Western’s Saltair Sawmill as
contemplated by that definition, waives the obligation of Western to give Catalyst a
Termination Notice under section 6.2 of the Chip and Log Supply Agreement with respect
to any reduction in the Harmac Tenure Commitment as a result of the closure of the New
Westminster Division and waives the rights of Catalyst under Section 6.2 of the Chip
and Log Supply Agreement to issue a Termination Purchase Notice and to purchase any
Chips pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Chip and Log Supply Agreement that become
available as a result of any such reduction in the Harmac Tenure Commitment;

	 	(b)	 	waives the obligation of Western to give Catalyst a Closure Notice under
Section 6.4 of the Chip and Log Supply Agreement with respect to the permanent closure
of the New Westminster Division, and waives the right of Catalyst under Section 6.4 of
the Chip and Log Supply Agreement to issue a Closure Purchase Notice and to purchase
any Chips pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Chip and Log Supply Agreement that become
available as a result of the permanent closure of the New Westminster Division.

Western and Catalyst agree that from and after the date hereof for the purposes of section
6.2 of the Chip and Log Supply Agreement, the volume of Chips that Western offers to Harmac
from or obtained in exchange for the volume of Chips produced at Western’s Saltair Sawmill
located on Vancouver Island near Ladysmith, British Columbia, will be included in the
definition of the term “Harmac Tenure Commitment” in section 1.1(cc) of the Chip and Log
Supply Agreement and that fluctuations in the volume of such Chips due to differences in
production in the ordinary course of business will not be considered reductions in the
Harmac Tenure Commitment for the purposes of section 6.2 of the Chip and Log Supply
Agreement.

	3.	 	Amendment

The Chip and Log Supply Agreement is hereby amended, effective on the date that lumber
production at the New Westminister Division by Western ceases permanently, by deleting the

Dear Neil:

Title to Pulp Logs

We confirm that we are prepared to amend the Chip and Log Supply Agreement made as of the
8th day of June, 1998 now between Western Forest Products Inc. and Catalyst Paper to
provide for transfer of title to Pulp Logs when payment is made.

To achieve this change the Agreement should be amended by deleting the existing Section 7.2 of the
Agreement and substituting the following:

“7.2 Delivery of Pulp Logs sold to Catalyst Paper under this Agreement shall be deemed
to have been completed, and title to, all rights of property in, and all risk of loss or
damage or destruction to Pulp Logs shall pass to Catalyst Paper at such time that the
Pulp Logs are paid for by Catalyst Paper.”

Please confirm your agreement with the above amendment by signing and returning the enclosed copy
of this letter.
