WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub have requested that the Stockholder enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(a) Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. The Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, and the execution and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder and compliance with the terms hereof have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Stockholder, its governing body, members and shareholders, as applicable. The Stockholder has all requisite power and authority to execute this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Stockholder has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company and Parent, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (A) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (B) is subject to the rules governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. Any person executing this Agreement on behalf of the Stockholder has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of the Stockholder and to thereby bind the Stockholder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and

compliance with the terms hereof, will not conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, amendment, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or to increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements of any Person under, or result in the creation of any Liens upon any of the Subject Shares under, (A) any provision of any Contract to which the Stockholder is a party or by which any Subject Shares are bound, (B) any organizational document of the Stockholder, or (C) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in the next sentence, any Order or any Law applicable to the Subject Shares.

3

consent in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto and the Stockholder shall not thereafter revoke, withdraw or repudiate such executed consent. Such written consent shall be coupled with an interest and, following receipt of sufficient consents to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, shall be irrevocable, except as set forth in Section 5 below.

(b) At any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, or at any postponement or adjournment thereof, called to seek the affirmative vote of the holders of the outstanding Shares to adopt the Merger Agreement or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval with respect to the Merger Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is sought, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Shares in favor of the foregoing.

(c) Any vote required to be cast or consent required to be executed pursuant to this Section 4 shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by the Stockholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

(d) At any meeting of stockholders of the Company or at any postponement or adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which the Stockholder’s vote, consent or other approval (including by written consent) is sought, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Shares against and withhold consent with respect to (i) any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Merger), consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, tender offer, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by the Company, (ii) any Alternative Transaction, and (iii) any other action, agreement or transaction that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Stockholder contained in this Agreement or that would impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone, discourage, frustrate the purposes of, or adversely affect the timely consummation the Merger. The Stockholder shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing that would be effective prior to any termination of this Agreement.

(e) Prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is received, other than this Agreement, the Stockholder shall not (i) sell, transfer, exchange, assign, or tender or dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, “Transfer”), or enter into any Contract with respect to the Transfer of, any Subject Shares to any Person or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company to any Person other than pursuant to the Merger Agreement or (ii) grant any proxies (other than any proxy to adopt the Merger Agreement at, or adjourn, the Company Stockholders Meeting or any proxy granted (that is unrelated to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) in connection with the taking of any action that would not be reasonably likely to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement) or enter into any voting trust or other similar agreement or arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, with respect to any Subject Shares or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company and shall not commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Stockholder may Transfer the Subject Shares to any Person so long as (i)

4

such Person agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to such Subject Shares by executing the joinder agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C and (ii) such Transfer, together with any other Transfers by such Stockholder, would not subject to the Transaction to any additional FERC or other regulatory approval requirements. Notwithstanding any such Transfers, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder shall continue to be bound by the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4(i) for so long as such Stockholder owns Verso Junior Notes.

(f) The Stockholder hereby (i) waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL in connection with the Merger and (ii) agrees not to commence or join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors or directors (A) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (B) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Merger Agreement.

The Stockholder agrees that any New Shares acquired or purchased by the Stockholder shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the representations and warranties set forth in Section 1, and shall constitute Subject Shares to the same extent as if those New Shares were owned by the Stockholder on the date of this Agreement.

(h) The Stockholder agrees that it will not, and will not authorize, permit or cause its officers, directors, employees or Representatives to, directly or indirectly, take any action to solicit, encourage, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to or enter into any agreement with any Person or facilitate, any inquiries or submission of proposals or offers from any person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and/or their respective Affiliates) concerning any Alternative Transaction (other than the Merger), or resolve, agree or propose to take any such action. The Stockholder shall, and shall, if applicable, cause each of its controlled Affiliates to cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations by the Stockholder, any controlled Affiliate of the Stockholder or any Representative of the Stockholder or its controlled Affiliates with any Persons (other than Parent, Merger Sub and the Company) conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction; provided, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any Affiliate of the Stockholder party hereto that is primarily engaged in the business of providing investment banking and/or financial advisory services to third parties that (I) has not been provided with material non-public information regarding the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or (II) is not

5

acting on behalf of a Person that has been provided with any such material non-public information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder may respond to any unsolicited proposal regarding an Alternative Transaction by indicating that the Company is subject to a definitive agreement regarding a transaction and is unable to provide any information related to the Company or any of its Affiliates or entertain any proposals or offers or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning an Alternative Transaction for as long as this Agreement remains in effect. The Stockholder shall promptly notify Parent (but in no case later than two (2) Business Days after receipt) of the receipt of any proposal for any Alternative Transaction or any inquiry, offer or request for information with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to result in, an Alternative Transaction, or any discussions or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with the Stockholder, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Representatives concerning an Alternative Transaction, indicating, in each case, the identity of the Person or group making such Alternative Transaction proposal, inquiry, offer or request for information and a copy of any Alternative Transaction proposal, inquiry, offer or request made in writing and the material terms and conditions of an Alternative Transaction proposal, inquiry, offer or request not made in writing, and thereafter shall keep Parent informed in reasonable detail, on a prompt basis (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days of the Stockholder’s or its Representatives’ knowledge of any such event), of any material developments or modifications to the terms of any such Alternative Transaction proposal, inquiry, offer or request (including copies of any documents) and the status thereof. The Stockholder shall not issue any press release or make any other public statement with respect to the Merger.

(i) The Stockholder agrees that it will (i) tender any and all Verso Junior Notes owned by the Stockholder and/or any of its controlled Affiliates in the Exchange Offers, (ii) provide its consent to the transactions contemplated by the Consent Solicitations and (iii) use its, his or her reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions and will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary and advisable, in each case as requested by Parent, in furtherance of the consummation of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations.

(j) The Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement it will not enter into a transaction or series of related transactions that would reasonably be expected to increase the aggregate ownership of Subject Shares owned by the Stockholder to a number that, combined with the number of Shares owned by its Affiliates, but for such transaction or series of related transactions, would result in a new requirement for the Stockholder to obtain FERC approval in connection with the Merger.

SECTION 5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement, and (iii) any written modification, written waiver or written amendment to the Merger Agreement that, on more than a de minimis basis, reduces the amount, changes the form or otherwise adversely affects the consideration payable to stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, without the prior written approval of the Stockholder. No party hereto shall be relieved from any liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to any such termination.

SECTION 6. Additional Matters. The Stockholder shall, from time to time, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional or further consents, documents and other instruments as the Company or Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
