RE:    Non-Competition Agreement

Dear ▇▇▇▇▇:

As you know, your Non-Competition Agreement with International Paper Company (the “Company”), dated May 5, 2006 (your “Non-Competition Agreement”), imposes certain restrictions on you regarding “Competitive Activities” (as defined therein).

This letter sets forth Company management’s commitment to waive certain limited terms of your Non-Competition Agreement upon execution of the Termination Agreement and Release between ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and International Paper Company dated July 6, 2018 (the “Agreement”) and expiration of the seven day revocation period outlined in the Agreement.

The Non-Competition Agreement will not be enforced with respect to any company other than WestRock Company; KapStone Paper and Packaging Corporation; Georgia-Pacific LLC; Packaging Corporation of America; Domtar Corporation; Graphic Packaging Holding Company; and any affiliate or successor of those six companies.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

/s/ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇
