PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited financial statements, enclosed as Exhibit 19 to this Form 10-Q, are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.  In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations as of and for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2008.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Bemis Company, Inc. is a leading global manufacturer of flexible packaging and pressure sensitive materials supplying a variety of markets.  Approximately 60 percent of our total company net sales are to customers in the food industry.  Other markets for our products include health and hygiene, lawn and garden, medical devices, pharmaceutical, construction, graphic display and signage, and industrial markets.

Market Conditions

In 2008, consumer budgets have been strained by higher food prices, energy costs, and housing costs. The majority of our products are sold to the food industry, which has historically provided a more stable market environment.  In the current environment, we are experiencing generally stable demand for our flexible packaging products, while our pressure sensitive materials business segment has been negatively impacted by weaker global economic conditions.

The primary raw materials for our business segments are polymer resins, films and adhesives, the cost of which has been impacted in recent years by volatile energy prices.  The relationship between raw material cost fluctuations and the subsequent adjustment of our selling prices to reflect these changes had a negative effect on flexible packaging operating profit in the first three quarters of 2008 compared to the first three quarters of 2007.

Results of Operations – Third Quarter 2008

Consolidated Overview

Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008, were $984.3 million compared to $905.7 million in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 8.7 percent.  Currency effects increased net sales by 2.9 percent compared to the same quarter of 2007.

Net income totaled $44.3 million for the third quarter of 2008, compared to $41.0 million for the same period of 2007.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.44 for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $0.40 in the third quarter of 2007.

Flexible Packaging Business Segment

Net sales for the flexible packaging business segment increased to $826.4 million this quarter compared to $745.4 million in the third quarter of 2007, a 10.9 percent increase. Currency effects accounted for 2.8 percent net sales growth during the current quarter.  Excluding the impact of currency, net sales increased in markets representing 86 percent of flexible packaging sales, including markets for meat and cheese, dairy and liquids, dry foods, health and hygiene, bakery, medical devices, and industrial products.  Net sales decreased in the confectionery and snack, pet food, and multipack market categories.  Selling prices increased during the quarter to reflect the substantial increase in raw material costs experienced at the end of the second quarter.  In addition, we achieved unit volume increases in more than 50 percent of our flexible packaging markets as new business growth was supported by stable consumer demand for core products.

Operating profit from the flexible packaging business segment was $82.4 million during the third quarter of 2008 compared to $81.6 million during the third quarter of 2007.  Currency benefits added $1.5 million to operating profit in the third quarter of 2008.  Operating profit as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter of 2008 was 10.0 percent compared to 10.9 percent for the third quarter of 2007.  The time lag between cost increases for a variety of principal raw materials and the corresponding increase in selling prices reduced operating profit as a percentage of net sales during the third quarter of 2008.  Operating profit has also been negatively impacted by inflationary pressures on other manufacturing costs including energy, supplies, and transportation.  The benefits of recent cost management initiatives have partially offset these increased costs during 2008.

Pressure Sensitive Materials Business Segment

Third quarter net sales for the pressure sensitive materials business segment decreased 1.5 percent down to $157.8 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $160.2 million in the same quarter of 2007.  Currency effects accounted for a 3.0 percent net sales growth.   Unit volume declined from the third quarter of 2007 across all product lines in this segment.  Our label and graphic products sales volumes are sensitive to economic conditions, which are currently having a negative impact on these product lines.  In addition, several large customers of our technical products serve the housing and automotive markets.  These markets have weakened considerably during 2008.

Operating profit from the pressure sensitive materials business in the third quarter of 2008 was $9.0 million, or 5.7 percent of net sales, compared to $9.1 million, or 5.7 percent of net sales, in the third quarter of 2007.  Currency benefits increased operating profit by $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2008.  Lower unit sales volume this quarter was offset by improved price/mix and successful cost management.

2

Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $85.8 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $84.0 million for the third quarter of 2007.  As a percentage of net sales, this category of expenses was 8.7 percent in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 9.3 percent for the same period of 2007.  The decrease in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects the impact of increased selling prices included in net sales.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of $2.9 million from the third quarter of 2007, reflecting lower interest rates and lower levels of outstanding debt in 2008.

Other Costs (Income), Net

In the third quarter of 2008, other costs and income included $9.2 million of financial income compared to $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2007.  About 45 percent of the financial income relates to interest income on cash held at non-U.S. locations.  The remainder of the financial income is generated from fiscal incentives for certain locations and is considered as a part of flexible packaging operating profit.  During the fourth quarter of 2008, we repatriated cash held at non-U.S. locations. This cash will be used to reduce outstanding debt and is expected to result in lower interest income during the fourth quarter.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 36.6 percent in the third quarter of 2008, the same as our rate for the same period of 2007.  The difference between our overall tax rate and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35 percent in each period principally relates to state and local income taxes net of federal income tax benefits.  We expect the effective tax rate for total year 2008 to be about 36.9 percent.

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008

Consolidated Overview

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $2.9 billion, an increase of 6.4 percent compared to net sales for the first nine months of 2007.  Currency effects increased net sales by 4.4 percent in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007.

Net income totaled $133.0 million for the first nine months of 2008, compared to $138.8 million for the same period of 2007.  Diluted earnings per share were $1.32 for the first nine months of 2008, and $1.32 for the first nine months of 2007.

Flexible Packaging Business Segment

Net sales for the flexible packaging business segment for the first nine months of 2008 were $2.4 billion, an increase of 7.8 percent compared to the same period of 2007.  Currency effects increased net sales by 4.2 percent in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007.  The remaining 3.6 percent increase in net sales was driven by higher sales to markets such as meat and cheese, dairy and liquid, health and hygiene, dry food, bakery, medical device, and industrial markets.  This was partially offset by decreased sales to confectionery and snack, pet food, and multipack market categories.

Operating profit from the flexible packaging business segment was $249.7 million, compared to $263.3 million during the first nine months of 2007.  Operating profit as a percent of net sales was 10.3 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 11.7 percent in the same period of 2007.  Operating results for 2008 reflect the negative impact of higher input costs incurred during the first three quarters of 2008.

Pressure Sensitive Materials Business Segment

Net sales for the pressure sensitive materials business segment were $489.6 million during the first nine months of 2008 compared to $489.7 million for the same period of 2007.  Currency effects increased net sales by 5.4 percent in the first nine months of 2008, but this was offset by decreases in unit sales volume across all product lines compared to the first nine months of 2007.  Increased competition during this period of economic weakness has reduced demand for our label products.  Our graphic and technical products have also experienced lower unit sales volumes in connection with the slowing global economy.

Operating profit from the pressure sensitive materials business in the first nine months of 2008 was $30.0 million, or 6.1 percent of net sales, compared to $33.5 million, or 6.8 percent of net sales, in the same period of 2007.  Results of operations for this segment were negatively impacted by a change in sales mix for graphic products and lower sales of value-added technical products in 2008 compared to 2007.

Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $262.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $256.0 million for the first nine months of 2007.  As a percentage of sales, this category of expenses decreased in the first nine months of 2008, to 9.0 percent compared to 9.4 percent in the same period of 2007.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $30.4 million for the first nine months of 2008, a decrease of $7.9 million from the same period of 2007 primarily driven by lower interest rates in 2008.

3

Other Costs (Income), Net

For the first nine months of 2008, other costs and income included $25.6 million of financial income compared to $19.9 million financial income for the same period of 2007.  About 40 percent of the financial income relates to interest income on cash held at non-U.S. locations.  The remainder of the financial income is generated from fiscal incentives for certain locations and is considered as a part of flexible packaging operating profit. Repatriation of cash held at non-U.S. locations during the fourth quarter of 2008 will make cash available to reduce outstanding debt and is expected to reduce interest income in the future.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 36.9 percent in the first nine months of 2008, a decrease compared to our rate for the same period of 2007 of 37.2 percent.  This lower tax rate reflects the geographic mix of pretax income.  The difference between our overall tax rate and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35 percent in each period principally relates to state and local income taxes net of federal income tax benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Market Conditions

In the third quarter of 2008, global financial markets experienced a liquidity crisis.  This crisis resulted in a substantial reduction in available funding for commercial banks and corporate debt issuers.  Governments around the world have responded with funding support for their regional financial systems. Despite this government intervention, capital market financing has become less available and more expensive.  We use commercial paper to finance our daily operations.  Our strong balance sheet and short-term A-1/P-2 credit ratings have preserved our ability to access the commercial paper market at a reasonable cost.  If the commercial paper market further deteriorates and becomes unavailable, we would expect to use our revolving bank credit facilities to finance our operations until the commercial paper market is restored or alternative financing can be arranged.

Debt to Total Capitalization

Debt to total capitalization (which includes total debt, long-term deferred tax liabilities and equity) was 32.5 percent at September 30, 2008, compared to 32.9 percent at December 31, 2007.  Total debt as of September 30, 2008, was $826.3 million, a decrease of $17.0 million from the balance of $843.3 at December 31, 2007.

Sources of Liquidity

Net cash provided by operating activities was $206.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $292.5 million in the same period of 2007.  Cash flow from operations has been negatively impacted by increases in accounts receivable and inventory levels, reflecting higher selling prices and raw material costs.

Under the terms of our revolving credit agreements, we have the capacity to borrow up to $625 million, of which $425 million matures April 28, 2013, and $200 million matures April 28, 2009. These facilities are primarily used to support our issuance of commercial paper.  The revolving credit agreements include a combined $100 million multicurrency limit to support the financing needs of our international subsidiaries.  In addition, we have arrangements in place to issue up to $100 million of Extendable Commercial Notes (ECNs), which are short-term instruments whose maturity can be extended to 390 days from the date of issuance.  As of September 30, 2008, the ECN market was unavailable due to unfavorable market conditions.

On August 15, 2008, bonds totaling $250 million matured and were repaid using proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper.   On September 30, 2008, total commercial paper outstanding was $445.1 million, industrial revenue bonds outstanding totaled $8.0 million, and multicurrency loans outstanding totaled $14.2 million.  We had the capacity to borrow an additional $157.7 million under the credit facility as of September 30, 2008.

Management expects cash flow from operations and available liquidity described above to be sufficient to support operations going forward.  Our liquidity has not been materially impacted by the current credit environment and we do not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near future.  There can be no assurance, however, that the cost or availability of future borrowings will not be impacted by ongoing capital market disruptions.

As of September 30, 2008, our outstanding debt supported by the revolving credit agreements exceeded the $425 million long-term facility by $28.1 million. As a result, this portion of this outstanding debt is classified as short term borrowing as of that date.

Uses of Liquidity

Capital expenditures were $87.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $139.7 million for the same period of 2007.  Capital expenditures for 2008 are expected to be approximately $125 million, a decrease from the total capital spending in 2007 of $178.9 million.

As of September 30, 2008, the remaining balance of Board authorization for common stock repurchases was 4.1 million shares.

Interest Rate Swaps

Previously outstanding interest rate swaps expired with the maturity of the $250 million of bonds on August 15, 2008.  There was no cash or income impact associated with the expiration of these swaps during the third quarter.

Subject to Section 2.5, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance to the other Type of Advance or to continue any Eurodollar Advance for a new Interest Period; provided that any conversion or continuation of any Eurodollar Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least one Business Day, in the case of a conversion into a Floating Rate Advance, or three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(i)the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation; and

(ii)the amount and Type of Advance into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.9.Method of Borrowing.

(a)On each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan in accordance with its Pro Rata Share not later than noon (Chicago time), in Federal or other funds

12

immediately available to the Administrative Agent, in Chicago, Illinois at its address specified in or pursuant to Article XIII.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied with respect to a requested Advance, the Administrative Agent will make the funds received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

2.10.Changes in Interest Rate, etc.  Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Advance is made or is converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance to the date such Advance becomes due or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance, at the Alternate Base Rate for such day.  Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.  Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto to the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance for such Interest Period based upon the Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.11.Rates Applicable After Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.7, 2.8 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (a) no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and/or (b) each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and/or (c) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum; provided that, during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth in clauses (b) and (c) above shall be applicable to all Advances without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.12.Method of Payment.  All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (Chicago time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.  Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender.  The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account of the Borrower maintained with JPMCB or any of its Affiliates for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

2.13.Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.  (a)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time,

13

including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount and Type of each Loan and, if applicable, the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c)The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

2.14.Telephonic Notices.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices for Advances and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically.  The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent, upon request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, a written confirmation (signed by an Authorized Officer) of each telephonic notice.  If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

2.15.Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.  Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any date on which such Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity.  Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurodollar Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion.  Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period therefor, on any date on which such Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity.  Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period.  Interest and facility fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.  Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (Chicago time) at the place of payment.  If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.16.Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of

14

the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder.  The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.17.Lending Installations.  Each Lender will book its Loans at the Lending Installation listed on its Administrative Questionnaire or such other Lending Installation designated by such Lender in accordance with the final sentence of this Section 2.17.  All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans made hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation.  Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.18.Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.  Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made.  The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption.  If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan; or (ii) in the case of payment by a Lender, (x) for the first three Business Days after demand, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (y) thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

ARTICLE III
YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

3.1.Yield Protection.  If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(a)subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its Eurodollar Loans or participations therein;

15

(b)imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances); or

(c)imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Eurodollar Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurodollar Loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such Lending Installation of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or such applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Eurodollar Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2.Availability of Types of Advances.  If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits in Dollars with a maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.3.

3.3.Funding Indemnification.  If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.

3.4.Taxes.  (a)  All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes.  If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.4) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with

16

applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(b)In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

(c)The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.4) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loan made by it, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.5.

(d)Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.  Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(e)For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (d) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.4 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (iv) above,

17

the Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.

(f)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(g)If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent).  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.4(g) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.5.Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.2, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Lender shall deliver a written statement to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.3 or 3.4.  Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.  Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though the applicable Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a Dollar deposit with a maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.  Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement.  The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

18

5.9.Environmental Matters.  In the ordinary course of its business, the Borrower conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating

If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2.Amendments.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provision to this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided that no such supplemental agreement shall:

or of any such other documents; provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.4(g) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.9.Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

10.10.Rights as a Lender.  If the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.  The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender.

10.11.Lender Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, either Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, either Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Except for any notice, report, document or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or an Arranger hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor either Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or either Arranger (whether or not in their respective capacity as Administrative Agent or an Arranger) or any of their Affiliates.

10.12.Successor Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign.  The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without

35

cause by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the Required Lenders.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder.  If the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders.  No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment.  Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent.  Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder.  In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.

10.13.Agent and Arranger Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated August 8, 2008, or as otherwise agreed from time to time.

10.14.Delegation to Affiliates.  The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates.  Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s Related Parties) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Article IX and this Article X.

10.15.Other Agents.  No Lender identified in this Agreement as the Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender

36

hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.11.

ARTICLE XI
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1.Setoff.  In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due.

11.2.Sharing of Payments.  (a)  If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on the Loans owed to it by the Borrower in excess of its Pro Rata Share of all payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on such Loans, then such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent and the other applicable Lenders of such fact and (b) purchase such participations in the Loans of the other Lenders to the Borrower as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery pro rata with such other Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(b)The Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 11.2 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 11.2.

ARTICLE XII
ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS; ETC.

12.1.Successors and Assigns.  (a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void)

37

and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) below) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A)the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing,  any other assignee; and

(B)the Administrative Agent.

(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its other Commitment, if any (or Loans made thereunder);

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(E)no such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or other Affiliates.

38

(iii)          Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 9.6 and 9.10).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section.

(iv)  The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)  Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 10.8 or 11.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause.

(c)(i)  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or other Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the

39

Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to clause (b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to clause (c)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 9.6 and 9.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.1 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.2 as though it were a Lender.

(ii)           A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.3 or 3.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.4 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.4(d) as though it were a Lender.

(d)           Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

12.2.        Dissemination of Information.  The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any assignee or Participant, or any other Person acquiring an interest in this Agreement by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including any information contained in any Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement.

12.3.        Tax Treatment.  If any interest in this Agreement is transferred to any Transferee which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.4(d).

PRICING SCHEDULE

PRICING	LEVEL I STATUS	LEVEL II STATUS	LEVEL III STATUS	LEVEL IV STATUS	LEVEL V STATUS
Applicable Margin	Greater of .245%  or the Index	Greater of .290% or the Index	Greater of .380% or the Index	Greater of .470% or the Index	Greater of .650% or the Index
Facility Fee Rate	0.055%	0.060%	0.070%	0.080%	0.100%

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule:

“Index” means the average of the Comp Spread for the Markit CDX.NA.IG Series 10 or any successor series (5 Year Period) for the preceding 30 days (or, if fewer, the number of days for which the then current series is in effect) on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association declares the U.S. fixed income market to be open.  If the Index becomes unavailable, the Index will be set at the most recently determined rate until the Borrower and the Lenders agree on an alternative method for establishing the Applicable Margin.

“Level I Status” exists at any date if, on such date, the Borrower’s Moody’s Rating is A2 or better and the Borrower’s S&P Rating is A or better.

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the Borrower’s Moody’s Rating is A3 or better and the Borrower’s S&P Rating is A- or better.

“Level III Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) the Borrower’s Moody’s Rating is Baa1 or better and the Borrower’s S&P Rating is BBB+ or better.

“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status  or Level III Status and (ii) the Borrower’s Moody’s Rating is Baa2 or better and the Borrower’s S&P Rating is BBB or better.

“Level V Status” exists at any date if, on such date, the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status.

“Moody’s Rating” means, at any time, the rating issued by Moody’s and then in effect with respect to the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement.

“S&P Rating” means, at any time, the rating issued by S&P and then in effect with respect to the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement.

“Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V Status.

The Applicable Margin and Facility Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Status as determined from the then-current Moody’s and S&P Ratings.  The credit rating in effect on any date for the purposes of this Schedule is that in effect at the close of business on such date.  If at any time the Borrower has no Moody’s Rating or no S&P Rating, Level V Status shall exist.

If the Borrower is split-rated and the ratings differential is one notch, the higher of the two ratings will apply (e.g., A/A3 results in Level I Status and A-/Baa1 results in Level II Status).  If the Borrower is split-rated and the ratings differential is two or more notches, the rating which is one notch above the lower rating shall be used (e.g., A/Baa1 results in Level II Status and A/Baa3 results in Level III Status).  If at any date, the Borrower’s long-term unsecured debt is rated by neither S&P nor Moody’s, then Level V Status shall apply.

Schedule 5.5

Litigation and Contingent Liabilities

Dixie Toga S.A., acquired by the Company on January 5, 2005, is involved in a tax dispute with the City of Săo Paulo, Brazil.  The City imposes a tax on the rendering of printing services.  The City has assessed this city services tax on the production and sale of printed labels and packaging products.  Dixie Toga, along with a number of other packaging companies, disagree and contend that the city services tax is not applicable to its products and that the products are subject only to the state value added tax (VAT).  Under Brazilian law, state VAT and city services tax are mutually exclusive and the same transaction can be subject to only one of those taxes.  Based on a ruling from the State of Săo Paulo, advice from legal counsel, and long standing business practice, Dixie Toga appealed the city services tax and instead continued to collect and pay only the state VAT.

The City of Săo Paulo disagreed and assessed Dixie Toga the city services tax for the years 1991-1995.  The assessments for those years are estimated to be approximately $68.8 million at the date the Company acquired Dixie Toga, translated to U.S. dollars at the June 30, 2008 exchange rate.  Dixie Toga challenged the assessments and ultimately litigated the issue in two annulment actions filed on November 24, 1998 and August 16, 1999 in the Lower Tax Court in the city of Săo Paulo.  A decision by the Lower Tax Court in the city of Săo Paulo in 2002 cancelled all of the assessments for the years 1991-1995.  The City of Săo Paulo, the State of Săo Paulo, and Dixie Toga have each appealed parts of the lower court decision.  In the event of an adverse resolution, the estimated amounts for these years could be substantially increased for additional interest, monetary adjustments and costs from the date of acquisition.

The City has also asserted the applicability of the city services tax for the subsequent years 1996-2001 and has issued assessments for those years for Dixie Toga and for Itap Bemis Ltda., a Dixie Toga subsidiary.  The assessments for those years were upheld at the administrative level and will be challenged by the companies.  The assessments at the date of acquisition for these years for tax and penalties (exclusive of interest and monetary adjustments) are estimated to be approximately $10.4 million for Itap Bemis and $33.4 million for Dixie Toga, translated to U.S. dollars at the June 30, 2008 exchange rate.  In the event of an adverse resolution, the estimated amounts for these years could be increased by $35.4 million for Itap Bemis and $102.1 million for Dixie Toga for interest, monetary adjustments and costs.

The 1996-2001 assessments for Dixie Toga are currently being challenged in the courts.  The Company strongly disagrees with the City’s position and intends to vigorously challenge any assessments by the City of Săo Paulo.  The Company is unable at this time to predict the ultimate outcome of the controversy and as such has not recorded any liability related to this matter.  An adverse resolution could be material to the consolidated results of operations and/or cash flows of the period in which the matter is resolved.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Bemis Company, Inc. (the Company) in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.  It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.  Certain prior year amounts have been restated to conform to current year presentation.  The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note 2 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1), which clarified that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and thus, should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share (EPS). This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and requires that all prior period EPS data be adjusted retroactively.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1 on our calculation and disclosure of basic and diluted EPS.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3), which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP FAS 142-3 on our consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, The Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161), which requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FAS 161 on our consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160), which amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FAS 160 on our consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (FAS 141(R)).  FAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. FAS 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  Accordingly, any business combination we enter into and/or close after December 31, 2008, will be subject to this new standard.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  The standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and, as permitted, the Company has not elected the “fair value option” for its financial assets and financial liabilities.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  FAS 157 will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.  The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.  In early 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2, which delays by one year the effective date of FAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis.  The Company adopted FAS 157 on January 1, 2008, as required, with no effect on the measurement of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities or on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.  The Company’s only financial asset and financial liability to which this standard applied during 2008 was a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap that matured on August 15, 2008.  As of September 30, 2008, the Company had no other financial asset or financial liability to which this standard applied.  We are continuing to evaluate the impact the standard will have on the determination of fair value related to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in years after 2008.

Note 3 – Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Options were granted at prices equal to fair market value on the date of the grant and are exercisable, upon vesting, over varying periods up to ten years from the date of grant.  Options for directors vest immediately, while options for Company employees generally vest over three years (one-third per year).  The following table summarizes all stock option plan activity from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008:

	Aggregate			Per Share	Weighted-Average
	Intrinsic		Number of	Option Price	Exercise Price
	Value		Shares	Range	Per Share
Outstanding at December 31, 2007	$	13,238,000	1,684,082	$15.86 - $26.95	$	19.52
Exercised			95,810	$17.44 - $18.81	$	18.45
Outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2008	$	10,524,000	1,588,272	$15.86 - $26.95	$	19.58

The following table summarizes information about outstanding and exercisable stock options at September 30, 2008:

	Options Outstanding and Exercisable

$22.04 - $26.95	424,470	3.9 years	$	24.71
	1,588,272	2.0 years	$	19.58

Stock options have not been granted since early 2003.  The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  dividend yield 2.3%, expected volatility 29.2%, risk-free interest rate 6.75%, and expected life 10.0 years.

In 1994, 2001, and in 2006, the Company adopted Stock Incentive Plans for certain key employees.  The 1994, 2001, and 2007 (adopted in 2006) Plans provide for the issuance of up to 4,000,000, 5,000,000, and 6,000,000 shares, respectively.  Each Plan expires 10 years after its inception, at which point no further stock options or restricted stock units may be granted.  Since 1994, 3,932,910, 3,677,162, and 1,466,741 grants of either stock options or restricted stock units have been made under the 1994, 2001, and 2007 Plans, respectively.  Distribution of the restricted stock units is made in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock on a one for one basis.  Distribution of the shares will normally be made not less than three years, nor more than six years, from the date of the restricted stock unit grant.  All restricted stock units granted under the plan are subject to restrictions as to continuous employment, except in the case of death, permanent disability, or retirement.  In addition, cash payments are made during the grant period on outstanding restricted stock units equal to the dividend on Bemis common stock.  The cost of the award is based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.  The cost of the awards is charged to income over the requisite service period.

As of September 30, 2008, the unrecorded compensation cost for restricted stock units is $44,700,000 and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period for each grant which ranges between May 4, 2009 and December 31, 2012.  The remaining weighted-average life of all restricted stock units outstanding is 3.3 years.

The following table summarizes all restricted stock unit activity from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008:

			Number of
	Aggregate		Restricted
	Intrinsic Value		Stock Units
Outstanding units at December 31, 2007			3,296,583
Restricted stock units granted			293,441
Restricted stock units paid			(182,943	)

Note 7 – Segments of Business

The Company’s business activities are organized around and aggregated into its two principal business segments, Flexible Packaging and Pressure Sensitive Materials.  Both internal and external reporting conforms to this organizational structure, with no significant differences in accounting policies applied.  The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based primarily on

operating profit, which is defined as profit before general corporate expense, interest expense, income taxes, and minority interest.  A summary of the Company’s business activities reported by its two business segments follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, options to purchase 2,494 shares of common stock with exercise prices greater than the average fair market value of our stock were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 9 – Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to its business, including environmental related litigation.  Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, management believes, except as discussed below, that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

The Company is a potentially responsible party (PRP) pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (commonly known as “Superfund”) and similar state laws in proceedings associated with seventeen sites around the United States.  The Company has recently been identified as a PRP in four new sites.  In addition two sites previously considered closed have been re-opened for potential further remediation.  These proceedings were instituted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies at various times beginning in 1983.  Superfund and similar state laws create liability for investigation and remediation in response to releases of hazardous substances in the environment. Under these statutes, joint and several liability may be imposed on waste generators, site owners and operators, and others regardless of fault.  Although these regulations could require the Company to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment at various sites, perform remediation work at such sites, or pay damages for loss of use and non-use values, we expect the Company’s liability in these proceedings to be limited to monetary damages. The Company expects its future liability relative to these sites to be insignificant, individually and in the aggregate.  The Company has reserved an amount that it believes to be adequate to cover its exposure.

Dixie Toga S.A., acquired by the Company on January 5, 2005, is involved in a tax dispute with the City of São Paulo, Brazil.  The City imposes a tax on the rendering of printing services.  The City has assessed this city services tax on the production and sale of printed labels and packaging products.  Dixie Toga, along with a number of other packaging companies, disagree and contend that the city services tax is not applicable to its products and that the products are subject only to the state value added tax (VAT).  Under Brazilian law, state VAT and city services tax are mutually exclusive and the same transaction can be subject to only one of those taxes.  Based on a ruling from the State of São Paulo, advice from legal counsel, and long standing business practice, Dixie Toga appealed the city services tax and instead continued to collect and pay only the state VAT.

8

The City of São Paulo disagreed and assessed Dixie Toga the city services tax for the years 1991-1995.  The assessments for those years are estimated to be approximately $57.0 million at the date the Company acquired Dixie Toga, translated to U.S. dollars at the September 30, 2008 exchange rate.  Dixie Toga challenged the assessments and ultimately litigated the issue in two annulment actions filed on November 24, 1998 and August 16, 1999 in the Lower Tax Court in the city of São Paulo.  A decision by the Lower Tax Court in the city of São Paulo in 2002 cancelled all of the assessments for the years 1991-1995.  The City of São Paulo, the State of São Paulo, and Dixie Toga have each appealed parts of the lower court decision.  In the event of an adverse resolution, the estimated amount for these years could be substantially increased for additional interest, monetary adjustments and costs from the date of acquisition.

The City has also asserted the applicability of the city services tax for the subsequent years 1996-2001 and has issued assessments for those years for Dixie Toga and for Itap Bemis Ltda., a Dixie Toga subsidiary.  The assessments for those years were upheld at the administrative level and will be challenged by the companies.  The assessments at the date of acquisition for these years for tax and penalties (exclusive of interest and monetary adjustments) are estimated to be approximately $8.6 million for Itap Bemis and $27.7 million for Dixie Toga, translated to U.S. dollars at the September 30, 2008 exchange rate.  In the event of an adverse resolution, the estimated amounts for these years could be increased by $31.6 million for Itap Bemis and $90.2 million for Dixie Toga for interest, monetary adjustments and costs.

The 1996-2001 assessments for Dixie Toga are currently being challenged in the courts.  In pursuing its challenge through the courts, taxpayers are generally required, in accordance with court procedures, to pledge assets as security for its lawsuits.  Under certain circumstances, taxpayers may avoid the requirement to pledge assets.  Dixie Toga has secured a court injunction that avoids the current requirement to pledge assets as security for its lawsuit related to the 1996-2001 assessments.

The Company strongly disagrees with the City’s position and intends to vigorously challenge any assessments by the City of São Paulo.  The Company is unable at this time to predict the ultimate outcome of the controversy and as such has not recorded any liability related to this matter.  An adverse resolution could be material to the consolidated results of operations and/or cash flows of the period in which the matter is resolved.

On September 18, 2007, the Secretariat of Economic Law (SDE), a governmental agency in Brazil, initiated an investigation into possible anti-competitive practices in the Brazilian flexible packaging industry against a number of Brazilian companies including a Dixie Toga subsidiary.  The investigation relates to periods prior to the Company’s acquisition of control of Dixie Toga and its subsidiaries.  Given the preliminary nature of the proceedings the Company is unable at the present time to predict the outcome of this matter.

The Company and its subsidiary, Morgan Adhesives Company, have been named as defendants in thirteen civil lawsuits related to an investigation that was initiated and subsequently closed by the U.S. Department of Justice without any further action.  Six of these lawsuits purport to represent a nationwide class of labelstock purchasers, and each alleges a conspiracy to fix prices within the self-adhesive labelstock industry.  The first of these lawsuits was filed on May 27, 2003.  In these lawsuits, the plaintiffs seek actual damages for the period of the alleged conspiracy (January 1, 1996 through July 25, 2003) trebled, plus an award of attorneys’ fees and costs.  On November 5, 2003, the Judicial Panel on MultiDistrict Litigation issued a decision consolidating all of the federal class actions for pretrial purposes in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, before the Honorable Chief Judge Vanaskie.  On November 20, 2007, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.  On March 6, 2008, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals denied Defendant’s petition for leave to appeal the district court’s decision granting class certification.  On June 24, 2008, the Court in the consolidated federal class actions issued a decision dismissing the Company from those actions.  At this time, a discovery cut-off has been set for December 21, 2009.  However, no trial date has been set.  The Company and Morgan Adhesives Company have also been named in three lawsuits filed in the California Superior Court in San Francisco. These three lawsuits, which have been consolidated, seek to represent a class of all California indirect purchasers of labelstock and each alleges a conspiracy to fix prices within the self-adhesive labelstock industry.  Finally, the Company has been named in one lawsuit in Vermont, seeking to represent a class of all Vermont indirect purchasers of labelstock, one lawsuit in Nebraska seeking to represent a class of all Nebraska indirect purchasers of labelstock, one lawsuit in Kansas seeking to represent a class of all Kansas indirect purchasers of labelstock, and one lawsuit in Tennessee, seeking to represent a class of purchasers of labelstock in various jurisdictions, all alleging a conspiracy to fix prices within the self-adhesive labelstock industry.  The Company and Morgan Adhesives Company intend to vigorously defend the state class actions, and Morgan Adhesives Company intends to vigorously defend the federal class actions.

Given the ongoing status of the class-action civil lawsuits, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters although the effect could be material to the results of operations and/or cash flows of the period in which the matter is resolved.  The Company is currently not otherwise subject to any pending litigation other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity of the Company.
