Exhibit 10.2

Domtar Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) – All Participants

Purpose

The purpose of the Domtar Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the interests of Domtar Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the “Company”) by (i) attracting and retaining executive personnel and other key employees for future services; (ii) motivating executive personnel and other key employees by means of performance-related incentives designed to achieve long-range performance goals; and (iii) enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company.

Plan Eligibility

Each Employee (including any Officer of the Company) and eligible Director who, in the opinion of the Board, has the capacity to contribute to the successful performance of the future of the Company, is eligible to be a participant in the Plan (each, a “Participant”).

Vehicle(s)

Under the Plan, Performance and/or Service Awards (each, an “Award”) will be provided to eligible Participants, which will be dollar denominated units (or a unit denominated in the Participant’s local currency). The Performance Awards, or Performance Units, will be payable upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the applicable Performance Goals, as determined by (or delegated to others by) the Board and the completion of the Performance Cycle. The Service Awards, or Restricted Units, will be payable upon the completion of the specified Restricted Period. Each unit is worth $1.00 (in the Participant’s local currency) at both the beginning and end of the Performance Cycle and/or Restricted Period, subject to the achievement of the applicable performance criteria. Each Award under this Plan will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the terms and conditions applicable to the Awards, including the applicable Restricted Period(s) and/or Performance Goals.

Timing of Payout

Awards will be paid out in cash as soon as practical following the end of the Performance Cycle or Restricted Period, as applicable, once the Board has approved the performance achievement (if applicable) and associated payout of the Award, and the Service-based vesting restrictions have lapsed. Performance Awards are to be settled in no event later than two and a half months after the end of the Performance Cycle.

If a Change in Control occurs, all amounts as determined shall be paid according to the provisions under the Change in Control section of the Plan.

Vesting Restrictions

The Board will establish relevant Service-based vesting requirements for each Performance Unit and Restricted Unit awarded under the Plan, during which the Participant is at risk of losing some or all of the Units awarded to such Participant upon a Termination of Service, subject to the Termination of Service and Change in Control sections of this Plan.

Performance Criteria

The Board will determine the applicable performance criteria (if any) to be measured (and the timing over which to measure), which can include quantitative goals and/or qualitative metrics that will be established with respect to each separate Performance Cycle (typically within the first 90 days of the period). Goals around target will be established for each individual year which will specify a threshold and a maximum performance achievement level and associated payout.

Performance Awards will be banked on a yearly basis, subject to each individual year’s performance attainment, with a full settlement after the last individual period has been completed.

Other Administrative Features

Plan Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board shall have sole and complete authority and discretion to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the operation of the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable, and to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan. The Board shall have complete discretion to adjust payouts for all Participants (upward or downward) as it deems appropriate. Determinations, interpretations or other actions made or taken by the Board under the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all Persons.

Power to Grant and Establish Terms of Awards. The Board shall have the discretionary authority, subject to the terms of the Plan, to determine the Employees to whom Awards shall be granted, the type or types of Awards to be granted, and the terms and conditions of any and all Awards, the time or times at which Awards shall be granted, and the terms and conditions of applicable Award Agreements. The Board may establish different terms and conditions for different types of Awards, for different Participants receiving the same type of Award, and for the same Participant for each type of Award such Participant may receive, whether or not granted at the same or different times.

Delegation by the Board. The Board may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or to any duly constituted committee thereof, the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Board specified in this Plan, pursuant to such conditions and limitations as the Board may establish, and any determination, interpretation or other action taken by the Chief Executive Officer or such committee shall have the same effect hereunder as if made or taken by the Board; provided that the Chief Executive Officer shall not have the authority to administer the Plan or make any such determinations with respect to their own Awards under the Plan.

Participants Based Outside the United States. To conform with the provisions of local laws and regulations, or with local compensation practices and policies, in foreign countries in which the Company or its Affiliates operate, the Board may (i) modify the terms and conditions of Awards granted to Participants employed outside the United States (“Non-US Awards”), (ii) establish subplans with modified exercise procedures and such other modifications as may be necessary or advisable under the circumstances (“Subplans”), and (iii) take any action which it deems advisable to obtain, comply with or otherwise reflect any necessary governmental regulatory procedures, exemptions or approvals with respect to the Plan. The Board’s decision to grant Non-US Awards or to establish Subplans is entirely voluntary, and at the complete discretion of the Board. The Board may amend, modify or terminate any Subplans at any time, and such amendment, modification or termination may be made without prior notice to the Participants. The Company, Affiliates and members of the Board shall not incur any liability of any kind to any Participant as a result of any change, amendment or termination of any Subplan at any time. The benefits and rights provided under any Subplan or by any Non-US Award (i) are wholly discretionary and, although provided by either the Company or Affiliate, do not constitute regular or periodic payments and (ii) are not to be considered part of the Participant’s salary or compensation under the Participant’s employment with the Participant’s local employer for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy or other end of Service payments, vacation, bonuses, long-term Service Awards, indemnification, pension or Retirement benefits, or any other payments, benefits or rights of any kind. If a Subplan is terminated, the Board may direct the payment of Non-US Awards (or direct the deferral of payments whose amount shall be determined) prior to the dates on which payments would otherwise have been made, and, in the Board’s discretion, such payments may be made in a lump sum or in installments.

Restrictive Covenants and Other Conditions. The Board may condition the grant of any Award under the Plan on the Participant agreeing to certain conditions or covenants, including, without limitation, covenants not to compete, not to solicit employees and customers and not to disclose confidential information.

Negative Discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Board shall have the right, in its absolute discretion, (i) to reduce or eliminate the amount otherwise payable to any Participant based on individual performance or any other factors that the Board, in its discretion, shall deem appropriate and (ii) to establish rules or procedures that have the effect of limiting the amount payable to each Participant to an amount that is less than the maximum amount otherwise authorized.

Affirmative Discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, (including, without limitation, the maximum amounts), the Board shall have the right, in its discretion, to grant a bonus or Award in cash to any Participant for the year in which the amount paid would ordinarily be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes in an amount up to the maximum bonus payable, based on individual performance or any other criteria that the Board deems appropriate.

Newly Eligible Participants. New hires or promotions to a position as outlined in the ‘Plan Eligibility’ section will be eligible to participate in the Plan starting January 1 of the year after their effective date in the eligible position.

Deferrals. Subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Board may postpone the vesting of Awards or the payment of cash in respect of any Award or any action permitted under the Plan, upon such terms and conditions as the Board may establish from time to time.

Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Board and each delegate of such Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be made a party or in which he or she may be involved in by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided that the Company is given an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it personally. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive and shall be independent of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise.

No Right to Employment. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Employer. The grant of an Award hereunder, and any future grant of Awards under the Plan is entirely voluntary, and at the complete discretion of the Company. Neither the grant of an Award nor any future grant of Awards by the Company shall be deemed to create any obligation to grant any further Awards, whether or not such a reservation is explicitly stated at the time of such a grant. The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute, and shall not be construed by the Participant to constitute, part of the terms and conditions of employment and participation in the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute, and shall not be deemed by the Participant to constitute, an employment or labor relationship of any kind with the Company. The Employer expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss a Participant free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, except as provided herein and in any agreement entered into with respect to an Award. The Company expressly reserves the right to require, as a condition of participation in the Plan, that Award recipients agree and acknowledge the above in writing. Further, the Company expressly reserves the right to require Award recipients, as a condition of participation, to consent in writing to the collection, transfer from the Employer to the Company and third parties, storage and use of personal data for purposes of administering the Plan.

Forfeiture for Financial Reporting Misconduct; Other Compensation Clawbacks. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance by the Company with any financial reporting requirement, and if a Participant knowingly or grossly negligently engaged in the misconduct or knowingly or grossly negligently failed to prevent the misconduct as determined by the Board, or if the Participant is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, then the Participant shall forfeit and disgorge to the Company (i) any Awards granted or vested or (ii) any cash received in respect of Awards that vested based on the materially non- complying financial reporting. The Company may cancel or reduce, or require a Participant to forfeit and disgorge to the Company or reimburse the Company for, any Awards granted or vested and any gains earned or accrued, due to the exercise, vesting or settlement of Awards pursuant to an Award under the Plan, to the extent permitted or required by, or pursuant to any Company policy implemented as required by, applicable law or regulation as from time to time may be in effect or otherwise.

Amendment, Modification and Termination. The Board may terminate or suspend the Plan at any time, and may amend or modify the Plan at any time either retroactively or prospectively.

Amendment of Award. In the event that the Board shall determine that such action would, taking into account such factors as it deems relevant, be beneficial to the Company, the Board may affirmatively act to amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award at any time prior to payment in any manner not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, including without limitation, modifying the performance criteria and changing the date or dates as of which a Performance Unit is deemed earned or Restricted Units becomes nonforfeitable. Any such action by the Board shall be subject to the Participant’s consent if the Board determines that such action would adversely affect the Participant’s rights under such Award, whether in whole or in part. The Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting or lapse of any Performance Cycle or Restricted Period with respect to all or any portion of any outstanding Award at any time. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the Board may not, without the consent of the affected Participant, amend, modify or terminate an outstanding Award or exercise any discretion in any manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax, interest or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

409A Compliance. The Plan is intended to be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements, where applicable, of Section 409A of the Code. Where reasonably possible and practicable, the Plan shall be administered in a manner to avoid the imposition on Participants of immediate tax recognition and additional taxes pursuant to such Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Board, nor any of the Company’s employees, shall have any liability to any person in the event such Section 409A applies to any such Award in a manner that results in adverse tax consequences for the Participant or any of his or her beneficiaries or transferees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Board may unilaterally amend, modify or terminate the Plan or any outstanding Award, including but not limited to changing the form of Award, if the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that such amendment, modification or termination is necessary or advisable to comply with applicable U.S. law as a result of changes in law or regulation or to avoid the imposition of an additional tax, interest or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

Nontransferability of Awards. Except as provided in this Plan or in an Award Agreement, no Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Board may permit the transfer of Awards for estate planning purposes. No amendment to the Plan or to any Award shall permit transfers other than in accordance with the preceding sentence. Any attempt by a Participant to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or encumber an Award without complying with the provisions of the Plan shall be void and of no effect. All rights with respect to Awards granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by such Participant (or, in the event of a Participant’s Disability, such Participant’s legal representative). Following a Participant’s death, all rights with respect to Awards that were outstanding at the time of such Participant’s death and have not terminated shall be exercised by the Participant’s designated beneficiary or by the Participant’s estate in the absence of a designated beneficiary.

No Limitation on Compensation. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company to establish other plans or to pay compensation to its Employees, in cash or property, in a manner which is not expressly authorized under the Plan.

No Impact on Benefits. Except as may otherwise be specifically stated under any employee benefit plan, policy or program, no amount payable in respect of any Award shall be treated as compensation for purposes of calculating a Participant’s right under any such plan, policy or program.

No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed (a) to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets or (b) to limit the right or power of the Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

Withholding. The Employer shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid to a Participant in cash (whether under this Plan or otherwise) any amount of taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of Awards under this Plan as may be necessary in the opinion of the Employer to satisfy tax withholding required under the laws of any country, state, province, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, capital gains taxes, transfer taxes, and social security contributions that are required by law to be withheld.
