NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for the purpose of setting forth the amendments to the Base Indenture as provided herein, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors covenants and agrees with the Trustee as follows:

ARTICLE 1

Defined Terms

Section 1.01           Definition of Base Indenture. In this Supplemental Indenture, “Base Indenture” has the meaning set forth in the recitals above.

Section 1.02           Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Supplemental Indenture without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture or in the preamble or recitals thereto. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof.

ARTICLE 2

Amendments to the Base Indenture

Section 2.01          Amendments to Section 1.1 (Definitions). Subject to Section 3.01 (Effectiveness) hereof, Section 1.1 (Definitions) of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated to (i) replace each of the definitions of “Change of Control” and “IFRS” to read in its entirety as provided below; and (ii) include new definitions of “Merger Parent Entity”, “Merger Transaction”, “Transaction Agreement” and “U.S. GAAP” as provided below:

(a)            “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

(1)               the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, consolidation or transfer of SKA’s Voting Stock), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of SKA and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than another Parent Guarantor;

(2)                the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consummation of the Merger Transaction (including the direct or indirect acquisition of SKG by the Merger Parent Entity) pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, shall not constitute a Change of Control.”

(b)           “IFRS” means International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee as in effect as of the date of this Indenture; provided, however, that all reports and other financial information provided by the Issuer to the Holders and/or the Trustee shall be prepared in accordance with IFRS as in effect on the date of such report or other financial information; provided, further, that at any time after completion of the Merger Transaction, the Issuer may elect irrevocably, and notify the Trustee and the Holders of such election, that IFRS shall mean U.S. GAAP as in effect on the date of such election; provided, however, that following such election all reports and other financial information provided by the Issuer to the Holders and/or the Trustee shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as in effect on the date of such report or other financial information. All ratios and computations based on IFRS contained in this Indenture will be computed in conformity with IFRS or U.S. GAAP, as applicable.”

(c)            “Merger Parent Entity” means Cepheidway Limited, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Ireland (to be renamed and re-gistered as Smurfit WestRock plc, a public company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Ireland), or such other entity, in each case, which will become the direct or indirect shareholder of SKG in connection with the Merger Transaction and which is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and/or the London Stock Exchange.”

(d)           “Merger Transaction” means the business combination of SKG group and WestRock Company, a Delaware corporation (“WestRock”) to be consummated pursuant to the Transaction Agreement.”

4

(e)           “Transaction Agreement” means the transaction agreement dated September 12, 2023, by and among, inter alios, SKG and WestRock, as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time.”

(f)             “U.S. GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as set forth in the opinions and pronouncements of the Accounting Principles Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and statements and pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or in such other statements by such other entity as may be approved by a significant segment of the accounting profession of the United States.”

Section 2.02           Corresponding Amendments. With effect on and from the date hereof, each Global Note shall be deemed supplemented, modified and amended in such manner as necessary to make the terms of such Global Note consistent with the terms of the Indenture, as amended by this Supplemental Indenture. To the extent of any conflict between the terms of the Notes and the terms of the Indenture, as amended by this Supplemental Indenture, the terms of the Indenture, as amended by this Supplemental Indenture, shall govern and be controlling.
