THE SUPPORT AND VOTING AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF DECEMBER 13, 2016, BY AND AMONG CATALYST PAPER CORPORATION AND STONEHILL MASTER FUND LTD.

December 13, 2016

TO: CATALYST PAPER CORPORATION

Re: Support and Voting Agreement –Alternative Recapitalization Transaction

Reference is made to the alternative recapitalization support agreement dated October 30, 2016 (the “Recapitalization Support Agreement”) among Catalyst Paper Corporation (the “Corporation”) and certain principal shareholders and noteholders designated as “Supporting Parties” thereunder (the “Supporting Parties”), as amended or restated from time to time, pursuant to which the Corporation and the Supporting Parties have agreed upon, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Recapitalization Support Agreement:

a) the conversion of the Notes into (i) a new US$135 million secured term loan with a maturity of five years and carrying interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with such interest to be paid-in-kind during the first year of the loan with the possibility thereafter of partial payment-in-kind at the option of the Corporation or with the consent of the lenders, and (ii) newly-issued common shares of the Corporation representing approximately 95% of the outstanding number thereof after giving effect to such conversion (the “Recapitalization Transaction”); and

b) the privatization of the Corporation, under which existing common shares of the Corporation not held by the Supporting Parties would be exchanged for a cash consideration in the amount of C$0.50 per share (the “Privatization Redemption”), subject to certain conditions, including the receipt of a discretionary exemption order from the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities to the effect that following completion of the Recapitalization Transaction and the Privatization Redemption, the Corporation would cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Recapitalization Transaction and the Privatization Redemption will be effected by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Plan”) under the provisions of the CBCA, and will be subject to separate votes of the shareholders of the Corporation. The completion of the Recapitalization Transaction is not conditional upon the completion of the Privatization Redemption, but the completion of the Privatization Redemption is conditional upon the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction. In the event that the Recapitalization Transaction is duly approved by the relevant securityholders but the Privatization Redemption is not approved, the Recapitalization Transaction will proceed without the Privatization Redemption.

Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms referred to herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Recapitalization Support Agreement.

The undersigned is either the legal and beneficial owner of, or has sole investment and voting discretion with respect to 579,787 common shares of the Corporation (the “Shares”).

1

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants (and acknowledges that the Corporation is relying upon such representations and warranties), as of the date hereof, that:

(a) he, she or it (i) is either the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Shares or has the sole investment and voting discretion with respect to the Shares, and (ii), as applicable, has the power and authority to bind the beneficial owner(s) of such Shares to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the interests of such beneficial owner(s) in such Shares;

(b) he, she or it has the sole authority to vote or direct the voting of the Shares and has not deposited any of the Shares into a voting trust, or granted (or permitted to be granted) any proxy or power-of-attorney or attorney-in-fact, or entered into a voting agreement, understanding or arrangement, or granted (or permitted to be granted) any right or privilege (whether by law, pre-emptive or contractual) capable of becoming a voting trust or other agreement, with respect to the voting of the Shares, where such trust, grant, agreement, understanding or arrangement, right or privilege would restrict the ability of the undersigned to comply with his, her or its obligations under this letter agreement affecting the Shares or the ability of any holder thereof to exercise ownership rights with respect thereto;

(c) the Shares are not subject to any liens, charges, encumbrances, obligations or other restrictions or rights of others that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect his, her or its ability to perform his, her or its obligations under this letter agreement;

(f) he, she or it is not, as part or in the context of the Recapitalization Transaction or the Privatization Redemption, receiving any “collateral benefit”, as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions, nor is there any agreement, arrangement or understanding in this regard, and is not acting jointly or in concert (as such expression is understood under applicable Canadian securities laws) with any other Person with respect to the Recapitalization Transaction or the Privatization Redemption.
