COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS LEADER IN GLASS AND PLASTICS PACKAGING OI Group is one of the world's leading manufacturers of glass and plastics packaging. We are the leading glass container manufacturer in 17 of the 19 countries where we compete in the glass container segment of the rigid packaging market and the sole manufacturer of glass containers in eight of these countries. We, our affiliates or our licensees produce approximately one of every two glass containers made worldwide. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we manufactured approximately 41% of all glass containers sold by domestic producers in the U.S. In plastics, OI Group is a leader in custom blow-molded and injection-molded packaging products. OI Group manufactures these containers for the food and beverage, household, personal care, health care and chemical and automotive fluid end-use categories. OI Group believes its leadership in the glass and plastics segments of the rigid packaging market provides it the opportunity to attract and retain large, "blue chip" customers, many of which have a worldwide presence. TECHNOLOGY LEADER AND INNOVATOR OI Group's research, development and engineering activities and its total-system approach to production technology and process control have yielded significant labor and machine productivity gains over time. OI Group believes its research, development and engineering expenditures relative to its competitors are among the highest in the worldwide rigid packaging market. OI Group applies "best practices" in manufacturing productivity as well as product innovation across the entire company to maintain and strengthen its leadership position in glass and plastics packaging. We believe we are often the glass container supplier of choice for multi-national consumer companies due to our leadership in glass technology and our status as the low-cost producer in many of the countries in which we compete. OI Group is a leader in product development and innovation. For example, in plastics, OI Group is the only custom blow-molder that offers products to serve the following major plastics end-use categories: food and beverage, household, personal care, health care and chemical and automotive fluid. OI Group is also a leader in developing new plastic packages and closures and believes it is one of the few suppliers with the capability to provide the customer with a "complete package" consisting of the container and the closure. OI Group believes its new product development cycle is one of the shortest in the plastics packaging industry, enabling it to respond quickly to customer needs in the rapidly changing custom plastic container segment. OI Group's product innovations include the "child resistant" closure for prescription containers, the plastic Heinz ketchup bottle with oxygen barriers to maintain freshness and multi-layer plastic containers for liquid laundry products and Gatorade-Registered Trademark- sports drink. More recent developments include a multi-layer plastic beer bottle being used by Anheuser-Busch, Coors and Miller Brewing, and dual-chamber plastic packages for Mentadent-Registered Trademark- dental products and Liquid-Plumr-Registered Trademark- cleaners, which keep two substances separated prior to use by the consumer. LOW-COST PRODUCER We believe we are the low-cost producer in the glass container segment of the North American rigid packaging market, as well as the low-cost producer in most of the international glass container segments in which we compete. Much of this cost advantage is due to the proprietary equipment and process technology we use. Over the last ten years, we have more than doubled our overall glass container labor and machine productivity in the U.S., as measured by output produced per man-hour. 2 Through the increased use of recycled glass, we have also reduced energy costs and prolonged the operating life of our glass melting furnaces. Our machine development activities and systematic upgrading of production equipment throughout the 1980's and 1990's has given us low-cost leadership in the glass container segment in most of the countries in which we compete, a key strength to competing successfully in the rigid packaging market. LONGSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH "BLUE CHIP" CUSTOMERS OI Group's largest customers include many of the leading manufacturers and marketers of glass and plastic packaged products in the world. We are a leading, worldwide supplier to many of the largest users of glass containers: brewers, food producers, distillers, wine vintners and soft drink bottlers. Our largest U.S. glass container customers (in alphabetical order) include Anheuser-Busch, Cadbury, Coors, Gerber, H.J. Heinz and Miller Brewing. Our largest international glass container customers include Diageo, Foster's, Heineken, Labatt, Lion Nathan and Molson. We are the sole glass container supplier to many of these "blue chip" customers. For plastic containers and closures, OI Group's largest customers include Bristol-Myers Squibb, H.J. Heinz, Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo (Dole-Registered Trademark-, Gatorade-Registered Trademark-, Tropicana-Registered Trademark-), Procter & Gamble and Unilever. OI Group has supplied many of these glass and plastics packaging customers for over 20 years and sells most of its products to customers under annual or multi-year supply agreements. OI Group believes its longstanding customer relationships, combined with its leadership in technology and innovation, make it a preferred new product supplier. This status puts OI Group in a favorable position to grow with and through the product development activities of its multi-national, "blue chip" customers. WORLDWIDE LICENSEE NETWORK We license our proprietary glass container technology to 24 companies in 24 countries. In plastics packaging, OI Group has technical assistance agreements with 24 companies in 14 countries. These agreements cover areas ranging from manufacturing and engineering assistance to support in marketing, sales and administration. The worldwide licensee network provides a stream of revenue to support OI Group's development activities and an opportunity to participate in the rigid packaging market in countries where it does not already have a direct presence. In addition, OI Group's technical agreements enable it to apply "best practices" developed by its worldwide licensee network. EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT TEAM OI Group's management has demonstrated an ability to deploy assets, improve productivity and rationalize production capacity, while at the same time maintaining its leadership position in glass and plastics packaging. OI Group is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of OI Inc. OI Inc.'s 19 executive officers average approximately 30 years of experience with OI Inc. and its predecessors. BUSINESS STRATEGY OI Group's business strategy is to continue to (1) strengthen its existing packaging businesses and (2) apply its leading edge technology to improve quality, service, profitability and cash flow. CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN EXISTING PACKAGING BUSINESSES OI Group is strengthening its existing packaging businesses and intends to pursue growth opportunities in these businesses. We are targeting stable and growing end-uses in the glass container segment of the North American rigid packaging market, particularly those that would benefit from our high productivity machines and strategic plant locations. For example, we have targeted glass packaging for beer in the U.S. where glass containers as a percentage of rigid packaging for beer increased from approximately 32% in 1991 to approximately 44% in 2000. In the U.S., we manufacture more glass 3 containers for packaging beer than any other company. In addition, we believe demographic and economic trends in certain developing regions of the world, particularly portions of South America, Eastern and Central Europe and the Asia Pacific region, where per capita glass container consumption is relatively low but growing, will lead to an increase in the demand for glass containers in these markets over time. OI Group plans to pursue growth opportunities in its plastics packaging segment, both in the U.S. and internationally, by focusing on end-uses where customers seek distinctive and functional packaging to differentiate or enhance their products. OI Group remains focused on value-added activities within the blow-molding and injection-molding plastics packaging segments. OI Group has achieved substantial growth in this business unit and believes it has additional growth opportunities in plastics packaging. In addition, consistent with past practice, OI Group may consider glass or plastics packaging acquisitions worldwide to enhance its growth. CONTINUE TO APPLY LEADING EDGE TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE QUALITY, SERVICE, PROFITABILITY AND CASH FLOW OI Group's strategy includes continued pursuit of labor and machine productivity improvements over time in an effort to improve quality, service, profitability and cash flow. OI Group intends to develop and employ new technology and improved "best practices" in an effort to continue to lower production costs, while at the same time preserving superior product quality. OI Group believes that maintaining its leadership in technology is key to being successful in rigid packaging markets around the world. Over the last ten years, we have more than doubled our overall glass container labor and machine productivity in the U.S., as measured by output produced per man-hour. By applying our technology and worldwide "best practices," during this period we decreased the number of production employees required per glass-forming machine line in the U.S. by over 35%, and we increased the daily output of our glass-forming machines by approximately 40%. 4 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE [LOGO] - ------------------------------ (1) Owens-Illinois, Inc. is a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc., a Delaware corporation. Securities................................ $1.0 billion principal amount of 8 7/8% Senior Secured Notes. Maturity.................................. February 15, 2009. Interest.................................. Annual rate: 8 7/8%. Payment frequency: every six months on February 15 and August 15. First payment: August 15, 2002. Guarantees................................ The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by our indirect parent, OI Group, and by certain domestic subsidiaries of OI Group so long as they continue to guarantee the secured credit agreement. If we cannot make payments on the notes when they are due, the guarantors must make them instead. As of December 31, 2001, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the offering of the notes and the application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom, OI Group would have had approximately $5.4 billion of total consolidated indebtedness, which includes approximately $2.5 billion of secured indebtedness under the secured credit agreement. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2001, the non-guarantor subsidiaries represented in the aggregate approximately 43% of OI Group's consolidated net sales, 45% of OI Group's consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and 42% of OI Group's consolidated total assets. As of December 31, 2001, the liabilities of the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a consolidated basis were approximately $2.0 billion. Ranking................................... The notes are senior obligations of Owens-Brockway Glass Container and rank PARI PASSU in right of payment to all the current and future senior debt of Owens-Brockway Glass Container, including its obligations under the secured credit agreement, and rank senior in right of payment to the subordinated obligations of Owens-Brockway Glass Container. The guarantees of the notes rank equal in right of payment to the guarantees of OI Group and the subsidiary guarantors of their existing and future senior obligations, including their
8 obligations under the secured credit agreement, and senior in right of payment to all subordinated obligations of those guarantors, which include the guarantees by OI Group and Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. ("OI Packaging") of the obligations of OI Group's parent, OI Inc., related to $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities. The notes are effectively subordinated to obligations under the secured credit agreement, certain obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as permitted under the secured credit agreement and obligations related to OI Inc.'s $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities to the extent these obligations are secured by collateral that does not secure the notes. The notes may also be effectively subordinated to certain indebtedness incurred to refinance borrowings under the secured credit agreement to the extent that such indebtedness is secured by collateral that does not secure the notes. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--Notes Effectively Subordinated to Certain Secured Credit Agreement Obligations and Obligations of OI Inc.--The notes are effectively subordinated to the obligations under the secured credit agreement, certain obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as permitted under the secured credit agreement and obligations related to OI Inc.'s $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities to the extent these obligations are secured by collateral that does not secure the notes." In addition, the notes and the guarantees of the notes will be effectively junior to any liabilities, including trade payables, of any non-guarantor subsidiaries. Collateral................................ The notes and guarantees of the notes are secured, subject to the terms of the collateral documents under the secured credit agreement, on a PARI PASSU basis with obligations under the secured credit agreement by: (1) a security interest in substantially all the assets (other than intercompany debt and securities) of OI Group and of substantially all the domestic subsidiaries of OI Group; and (2) a pledge by OI Group of the stock of, and intercompany debt owing to OI Group by, all its direct subsidiaries (other than the stock of, and intercompany debt owing to OI Group by, OI General FTS Inc.) and a pledge by OI Packaging of the stock of, and intercompany debt owing to OI Packaging by, Owens-Brockway Glass Container. Certain additional collateral, including the stock of OI General FTS Inc. owned by OI Group and intercompany debt owing to OI Group by OI General FTS Inc., secures the obligations under the secured credit agreement. OI General FTS Inc. and its subsidiaries do not conduct any manufacturing operations and are primarily involved in
9 providing administrative and general corporate services to OI Group and its subsidiaries. Except as permitted and contemplated by, and subject to the terms of, the secured credit agreement and the pledge agreement (as amended, modified, replaced or refunded), OI Group will not further pledge the stock of, or intercompany debt owing to OI Group by, OI General FTS Inc. as security or otherwise unless the notes and guarantees are secured on a PARI PASSU basis with the applicable indebtedness by this collateral. Release of Guarantees and Collateral...... Under certain circumstances, the collateral securing the notes may be released without action by, or consent of, the holders of the notes or the trustee under the indenture. In general, the lenders under the secured credit agreement have the power to terminate and release the pledges and the security interests under the secured credit agreement and the notes when the obligations under the secured credit agreement have been paid in full, when OI Inc. and OI Group achieve investment grade debt ratings or upon the approval of the requisite percentage of lenders under the secured credit agreement. In addition, any guaranty of the notes may be released without action by, or consent of, the holders of the notes or the trustee under the indenture if the guarantor is no longer a guarantor of obligations: - under the secured credit agreement; - owing to lenders or their affiliates as lending facilities as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement; and - under interest rate and currency agreements with lenders or their affiliates as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement. Upon release of a guarantor of the notes under its guarantee, the collateral documents provide that the security interest in the assets of that guarantor securing the notes and the guarantees will be released simultaneously. If collateral that secures the notes is later repledged or guarantees which guaranty the notes are reinstated under the secured credit agreement (including any amended and restated secured credit agreement or new credit agreement), such collateral will be pledged, subject to the terms of the collateral documents under the secured credit agreement (including any amended and restated secured credit agreement or new credit agreement), on a PARI PASSU basis with obligations under the secured credit agreement to secure the notes, and such guarantees will be executed in favor of the notes.
10 Optional Redemption....................... On or after February 15, 2006, we may redeem some or all of the notes at any time at the redemption prices described in the section entitled "Description of Notes--Optional Redemption." Prior to February 15, 2005, we may use the net proceeds of certain equity offerings by OI Inc. to redeem up to 35% of the notes at the price listed in the section entitled "Description of Notes--Optional Redemption." Change of Control......................... If we, OI Inc. or OI Group experience specific kinds of changes of control, we must offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, unless we have exercised our right to redeem the notes as described in the section entitled "Description of Notes--Optional Redemption," including our right, prior to February 15, 2006, to redeem all of the notes in the event of a change of control. Basic Covenants of the Indenture.......... The indenture governing the notes contains covenants which, among other things, restrict the ability of OI Group and its restricted subsidiaries to: - borrow money; - pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase, stock; - make investments; - create liens; - enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and - sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. On and after the one-year anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement required to be filed by the registration rights agreement, we will be permitted to assign our obligations under the notes and the indenture to OI Inc., and we and each guarantor will thereafter be released from our obligations under the notes, the guarantees and the indenture, provided that (1) OI Inc. assumes all of the obligations under the notes and the indenture and (2) the obligations of each domestic borrower under the secured credit agreement have been or will be concurrently assumed by OI Inc. in accordance with the terms of the secured credit agreement. Under the secured credit agreement, the domestic borrowers may assign or transfer their rights and obligations to OI Inc. and all of OI Inc.'s subsidiaries will be concurrently released from their guarantees upon the consent of the requisite lenders if the term loans have been repaid, if OI Inc. has achieved and maintains immediately following the
11 assumption (including the assumption of the notes) the investment grade ratings specified under the secured credit agreement and if all obligations of subsidiaries of OI Inc. in respect of the $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities of OI Inc., the notes and certain other debt have been released and assumed by OI Inc. For more information, see the section entitled "Description of Notes--Certain Covenants." Use of Proceeds........................... We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer.

(g) EBIT consists of consolidated earnings before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, minority share owners' interests in earnings of subsidiaries and extraordinary charges. (h) EBITDA consists of EBIT before depreciation and amortization of excess cost and intangibles. EBITDA is presented because OI Group believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in OI Group's industry. However, other companies in OI Group's industry may calculate EBITDA differently than OI Group does. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of OI Group's operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See "Consolidated Financial Statements--Consolidated Cash Flows." 14 (i) OI Group evaluates performance and allocates resources based on EBIT excluding unusual items ("Adjusted EBIT"). Unusual items consist of the gains, losses and charges discussed in Notes (c) and (d) above. The reconciliation from EBIT to Adjusted EBIT is as follows:

(j) Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding the unusual gains, losses and charges discussed in Notes (c) and (d) and summarized in Note (i) above. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because OI Group believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in OI Group's industry. However, other companies in OI Group's industry may present Adjusted EBITDA differently than OI Group does. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of OI Group's operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See "Consolidated Financial Statements--Consolidated Cash Flows." (k) For purposes of these computations, earnings consist of earnings before income taxes, minority share owners' interests in earnings of subsidiaries and extraordinary items plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist primarily of interest on indebtedness, including amortization of deferred finance fees, plus that portion of lease rental expense representative of the interest factor. Pretax earnings and fixed charges also include the proportional share of 50%-owned investees. 15 RISK FACTORS YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE MAKING A DECISION TO EXCHANGE YOUR PRIVATE NOTES FOR EXCHANGE NOTES IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER. THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH BELOW, OTHER THAN THE FIRST RISK FACTOR, ARE GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO THE PRIVATE NOTES AS WELL AS THE EXCHANGE NOTES. RISKS RELATING TO THE NOTES FAILURE TO EXCHANGE--IF YOU DO NOT EXCHANGE YOUR PRIVATE NOTES PURSUANT TO THIS EXCHANGE OFFER, YOUR ABILITY TO SELL YOUR PRIVATE NOTES MAY BE LIMITED. It may be difficult for you to sell private notes that are not exchanged in the exchange offer. Those notes may not be offered or sold unless they are registered or there are exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. If you do not tender your private notes or if we do not accept some of your private notes, those notes will continue to be subject to the transfer and exchange restrictions in: - the indenture; - the legend on the private notes; and - the offering memorandum relating to the private notes. The restrictions on transfer of your private notes arise because we issued the private notes pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may only offer or sell the private notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from such requirements. We do not intend to register the private notes under the Securities Act. To the extent private notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market, if any, for the private notes would be adversely affected. SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE--OUR SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS AND THE SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS OF OI GROUP COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH AND PREVENT US FROM FULFILLING OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NOTES. We and OI Group have now and, after the exchange offer, will continue to have a significant amount of debt. As of December 31, 2001, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the offering of the private notes and the use of net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding term loan under the secured credit agreement, we and our consolidated subsidiaries had approximately $2.8 billion of total consolidated debt outstanding and OI Group would have had approximately $5.4 billion of total consolidated debt outstanding, which includes approximately $2.5 billion of secured indebtedness under the secured credit agreement. OI Group's ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.3x and 2.5x for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. This substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could: - make it difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes; - increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; - increase our vulnerability to interest rate increases for the portion of the unhedged debt under the secured credit agreement; - require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development efforts and other general corporate purposes; 16 - limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the rigid packaging market; - place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that have less debt; and - limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the documents governing our indebtedness, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds. The secured credit agreement requires OI Group and the borrowers under the secured credit agreement to maintain specified ratios and meet specified financial condition tests. These ratios and financial condition tests are calculated and based upon the financial statements of OI Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and become more restrictive once each year. The next tightening of the financial covenants will occur on June 30, 2002. For example, as of December 31, 2001, the maximum allowable leverage ratio under the secured credit agreement was 4.50x. As of June 30, 2002, the maximum allowable leverage ratio under the secured credit agreement will be 4.35x. If OI Inc. and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, incur excessive borrowings or do not achieve sufficient earnings, then the limits for the maximum allowable leverage ratio and other ratios, including the fixed charge coverage ratio, under the secured credit agreement may be exceeded. If OI Inc. and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, record any significant charges in the future, including for asbestos-related costs, restructuring or asset impairment, or their general operating performance declines, earnings could be insufficient to meet these ratios. See "--Cash Used to Satisfy Other Obligations--A portion of our cash flow will be used to make payments to OI Inc. to satisfy certain debt, preferred stock and litigation-related obligations, including settlement of asbestos-related claims." In such event, if the borrowers do not obtain a waiver from, or enter into an amendment with, the requisite percentage of lenders under the secured credit agreement for such noncompliance or noncompliance with any other ratios and financial condition tests under the secured credit agreement, an event of default could occur. We cannot assure you that the requisite percentage of lenders under the secured credit agreement would grant such a waiver or enter into such an amendment. Absent a waiver or an amendment, an event of default under the secured credit agreement may have a material adverse effect on OI Group and us. Also, if there is a default under the secured credit agreement, the commitments by the lenders to loan funds to the borrowers may terminate and the lenders could accelerate the debt that the borrowers owe. If the borrowers are unable to pay those amounts, the lenders under the secured credit agreement could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the debt outstanding, which includes collateral securing the notes and guarantees. We cannot assure you that we would have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make such accelerated payments, including payments on the notes. ABILITY TO SERVICE DEBT--TO SERVICE OUR INDEBTEDNESS, WE WILL REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH. OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE CASH DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the notes, and to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development efforts and other general corporate purposes depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. Similarly, the ability of the guarantors of the notes to make payments on and refinance their indebtedness will depend on their ability to generate cash in the future. To some extent, this is subject to general and regional economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our or the guarantors' control. Neither we nor the guarantors can assure you that any of us will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available under the secured credit agreement, in an amount sufficient to enable any of us to pay our indebtedness, including the notes, or to fund other liquidity needs. We and the guarantors may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the notes, on or before maturity. If either we or the guarantors are unable to generate 17 sufficient cash flow and are unable to refinance or extend outstanding borrowings on commercially reasonable terms or at all, we and the guarantors may have to: - reduce or delay capital expenditures planned for replacements, improvements and expansions; - sell assets; - restructure debt; and/or - obtain additional debt or equity financing. We cannot assure you that we or the guarantors could effect or implement any of these alternatives on satisfactory terms, if at all. CASH USED TO SATISFY OTHER OBLIGATIONS--A PORTION OF OUR CASH FLOW WILL BE USED TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO OI INC. TO SATISFY CERTAIN DEBT, PREFERRED STOCK AND LITIGATION-RELATED OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING SETTLEMENT OF ASBESTOS-RELATED CLAIMS. Although our indirect parent, OI Inc., does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations to make payments on its $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities, to pay dividends on its outstanding preferred stock, to satisfy claims of persons for exposure to asbestos-containing products and related expenses and to pay other ordinary course obligations. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from its subsidiaries, including us, to meet these obligations. OI Inc. makes semi-annual interest payments of $64.8 million on its $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities. In addition, OI Inc. pays quarterly dividends of $5.4 million on 9,050,000 shares of its $2.375 convertible preferred stock. OI Inc.'s asbestos-related payments were $181.5 million and $245.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. OI Inc. also makes, and expects to make in the future, substantial indemnity payments and payments for legal fees and expenses in connection with asbestos-related lawsuits and claims. OI Inc. is one of a number of defendants (typically from 20 to 100 or more) in a substantial number of lawsuits filed in numerous state and federal courts by persons alleging bodily injury (including death) as a result of exposure to dust from asbestos fibers. From 1948 to 1958, one of OI Inc.'s former business units commercially produced and sold approximately $40 million of a high-temperature, calcium-silicate based pipe and block insulation material containing asbestos. OI Inc. exited the pipe and block insulation business in April 1958. As of December 31, 2001, OI Inc. estimates that it is a named defendant in asbestos lawsuits and claims involving approximately 27,000 plaintiffs and claimants. OI Inc. has claims-handling agreements in place with many plaintiffs' counsel throughout the country. These agreements require evaluation and negotiation regarding whether particular claimants qualify under the criteria established by these agreements. The criteria for these claims include verification of a compensable illness and a reasonable probability of exposure to a product manufactured by OI Inc.'s former business unit during its manufacturing period ending in 1958. OI Inc. believes that the bankruptcies of additional co-defendants since the beginning of 2000 (such as A.P. Green Industries, Inc., Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Federal-Mogul Corporation, Fibreboard Corporation, G-I Holdings (GAF), Harbison-Walker Refractories Group, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation, North American Refractories Co., Owens Corning, Pittsburgh-Corning, Plibrico Company, Porter Hayden Company, USG Corporation, W.R. Grace & Co. and several other smaller companies) have resulted in an acceleration of the presentation and disposition of a number of claims under these agreements, which claims would otherwise have been presented and disposed of over the next several years. This acceleration is reflected in an increased number of pending asbestos claims and, to the extent disposed, contributes to an increase in asbestos-related payments, which is expected to continue in the near term. OI Inc. believes that its ultimate asbestos-related contingent liability (I.E., its indemnity or other claim disposition costs plus related legal fees) cannot be estimated with certainty. In the third quarter of 2000, OI Inc. established an additional liability of $550 million (in addition to a previously 18 established liability of $1.225 billion) to cover its estimated indemnity payments and legal fees arising from outstanding asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims and asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims filed in the ensuing several years. OI Inc. expects that the gross amount of total asbestos-related payments will be moderately lower in 2002 compared to 2001 and will continue to decline thereafter as the number of potential claimants continues to decrease. However, the trend toward lower aggregate annual payments has not occurred as soon as had been anticipated when the additional liability was established in 2000. In addition, the number of claims and lawsuits filed against OI Inc. has exceeded the number anticipated at that time. As a result, OI Inc. is continuing to evaluate trends to determine whether further adjustment of the asbestos-related liabilities is appropriate. While the results of this review cannot be estimated at this time, OI Inc. expects that an increase of the liability will be required in order to cover estimated indemnity payments and legal fees arising from asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims filed in the next several years. As a result of the magnitude of OI Inc.'s obligations for asbestos-related lawsuits and its dependence on the cash flows of its subsidiaries, we expect that a substantial portion of our cash flow will be used to make payments to OI Inc. to allow it to satisfy these obligations. These payments will reduce the cash flow we could use to make payments on the notes. DEBT RESTRICTIONS--OI GROUP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, INCLUDING US, MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FINANCE FUTURE NEEDS OR ADAPT THEIR BUSINESS PLANS TO CHANGES BECAUSE OF RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON THEM BY THE SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE INDENTURE AND THE INSTRUMENTS GOVERNING OTHER INDEBTEDNESS. The secured credit agreement and certain of the agreements governing other indebtedness, including the indenture governing the notes, contain affirmative and negative covenants that limit the ability of OI Group and its subsidiaries, including us, to take certain actions. For example, the indenture restricts, among other things, the ability of OI Group and its restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase, stock, make investments, create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. These restrictions could adversely affect OI Group's and our ability to operate our businesses and may limit OI Group's and our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. Failure to comply with these or other covenants and restrictions contained in the secured credit agreement, agreements governing other indebtedness or the indenture could result in a default under those agreements, and the debt under those agreements, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. If a default occurs under the secured credit agreement, the lenders could cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the secured credit agreement to become due and payable, which would result in a default under the notes and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related to the notes. A default under the secured credit agreement or agreements governing other indebtedness or the notes could also lead to an acceleration of debt under other debt instruments that contain cross acceleration or cross-default provisions. Upon a default or cross-default, the collateral agent, at the direction of the lenders under the secured credit agreement could proceed against the collateral. There may be insufficient collateral to repay the indebtedness under the secured credit agreement, other senior indebtedness from time to time secured by the collateral and the notes in full at the time of any default. The ability of OI Group and its subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of the secured credit agreement and other agreements governing other indebtedness, and our ability to comply with the provisions of the indenture may be affected by changes in economic or business conditions or other events beyond our control. ADDITIONAL BORROWINGS AVAILABLE--DESPITE CURRENT INDEBTEDNESS LEVELS, OI GROUP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES MAY STILL BE ABLE TO INCUR SUBSTANTIALLY MORE DEBT. THIS COULD FURTHER EXACERBATE CERTAIN RISKS DESCRIBED ABOVE. OI Group and its subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future, including debt secured by the collateral that secures the notes and additional debt under the secured 19 credit agreement. In addition, if OI Group designates some of its restricted subsidiaries under the indenture as unrestricted subsidiaries, those unrestricted subsidiaries would be permitted to borrow beyond the limitations specified in the indenture and engage in other activities in which restricted subsidiaries may not engage. Based on amounts outstanding at December 31, 2001, the revolving loan facility under the secured credit agreement had unused borrowing capacity of $491.4 million. If new debt is added to current debt levels, the related risks that we and OI Group now face could intensify. NOTES EFFECTIVELY SUBORDINATED TO DEBT OF NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES--THE NOTES ARE EFFECTIVELY SUBORDINATED TO ALL INDEBTEDNESS OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES THAT ARE NOT GUARANTORS OF THE NOTES. You will not have any claim as a creditor against the subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those subsidiaries will be effectively senior to your claims. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2001, the non-guarantor subsidiaries represented in the aggregate approximately 43% of OI Group's consolidated net sales, 45% of OI Group's consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and 42% of OI Group's consolidated total assets. As of December 31, 2001, the liabilities of the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a consolidated basis were approximately $2.0 billion. The non-guarantor subsidiaries include the foreign borrowers and foreign guarantors under the offshore subfacilities under the secured credit agreement. The notes are effectively subordinated to claims against these foreign subsidiaries under the secured credit agreement. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. In addition, under the indenture, non-guarantor subsidiaries are permitted to incur substantial amounts of additional debt and OI Group and its restricted subsidiaries are permitted to make an unlimited amount of investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries. Therefore, the notes would be effectively subordinated to this additional indebtedness that may be incurred by the non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, if OI Group or its restricted subsidiaries invest additional amounts in non-guarantor subsidiaries, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, assets that otherwise could be used to satisfy our obligations under the notes will first be used to satisfy the obligations of the non-guarantor subsidiaries. NOTES EFFECTIVELY SUBORDINATED TO CERTAIN SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT OBLIGATIONS AND OBLIGATIONS OF OI INC.--THE NOTES ARE EFFECTIVELY SUBORDINATED TO THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT, CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OWING TO LENDERS OR THEIR AFFILIATES AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT AND OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO OI INC.'S $1.7 BILLION OF OUTSTANDING PUBLIC DEBT SECURITIES TO THE EXTENT THESE OBLIGATIONS ARE SECURED BY COLLATERAL THAT DOES NOT SECURE THE NOTES. In addition to the collateral securing the notes and guarantees, the obligations of the domestic borrowers and the domestic guarantors under the secured credit agreement are further secured by: - a pledge by OI Group of the stock of OI General FTS Inc. and intercompany debt owing to OI Group by OI General FTS Inc.; - a pledge of the stock of substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of OI General FTS Inc., OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. and Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.; - a pledge of the intercompany debt owed to OI General FTS Inc., OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. and Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. and substantially all of their domestic subsidiaries; and - a pledge of 65% of the stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries. 20 In addition to the above, the offshore subfacilities and related guarantees under the secured credit agreement are also secured by the assets (including stock and intercompany debt) of certain wholly-owned U.K. and Australian subsidiaries and by the remaining 35% of the stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries. As a result, to the extent collateral does not secure the notes, the notes are effectively subordinated to the obligations under the secured credit agreement, obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as lending facilities as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement and obligations under interest rate and currency agreements with lenders or their affiliates as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up of us or OI Group, those assets that do not secure the notes will not be available to pay our obligations on the notes unless and until payment in full of the obligations under the secured credit agreement. Likewise, if the lenders under the secured credit agreement accelerate the obligations under the secured credit agreement, then those lenders would be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law, and those lenders would have a claim on those assets that do not secure the notes before any holder of the notes. You would participate with respect to those assets ratably with all holders of other unsecured indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same class as the notes, and potentially with other general creditors. Similarly, the guarantees of the notes are effectively subordinated to the extent of the collateral that does not secure those guarantees. In addition, OI Inc.'s $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities are secured by a second priority lien on the capital stock owned by, and intercompany debt owed to, OI Group and OI Packaging. The collateral securing OI Inc.'s $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities includes the capital stock of, and intercompany debt owing to OI Group by, OI General FTS Inc., which have not been pledged to secure the notes. OI General FTS and its subsidiaries do not conduct any manufacturing operations. These companies are primarily involved in providing administrative and general corporate services to OI Group and its subsidiaries. In the event of a foreclosure on the collateral that secures the obligations under the secured credit agreement, obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as lending facilities as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement, obligations under interest rate and currency agreements with lenders or their affiliates as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement, OI Inc.'s obligations under the $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities and the notes, there could be proceeds from the disposition of that collateral that would not have to be shared with holders of the notes. As a result, lenders under the secured credit agreement and holders of OI Inc.'s $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities may recover a greater percentage of the amounts owed to them than holders of the notes. Subject to a number of important restrictions, the indenture permits OI Group and its restricted subsidiaries, including us, to issue notes, debentures or other financing instruments or any combination thereof to refinance amounts outstanding under the secured credit agreement. Any such indebtedness may be secured by collateral that does not secure the notes. This other indebtedness may, nonetheless, continue to be secured, notwithstanding the fact that the collateral securing the notes may have otherwise been released. DILUTION OF COLLATERAL--THE COLLATERAL SECURING THE NOTES MAY BE DILUTED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. The collateral securing the notes secures an aggregate of approximately $65.0 million of outstanding term loans under the secured credit agreement, calculated as of December 31, 2001, after giving effect to the use of proceeds from the issuance of the notes. The secured credit agreement also provides for a $3.0 billion revolving loan facility that is secured by the collateral securing the notes. The commitment amounts under the secured credit agreement could be increased in the future. In addition, 21 the collateral securing the notes secures obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as lending facilities as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement and obligations under interest rate and currency agreements with lenders or their affiliates as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement. This collateral may secure additional senior indebtedness that OI Group or certain of its subsidiaries incurs in the future, subject to restrictions on their ability to incur debt and liens under the secured credit agreement and the indenture. Your rights to the collateral would be diluted by any increase in the indebtedness secured by this collateral. 22 DISPOSITION AND RELEASE OF COLLATERAL AND RELEASE OF GUARANTEES--THE LENDERS UNDER THE SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTROL THE DISPOSITION AND RELEASE OF COLLATERAL AND RELEASE THE GUARANTEES IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION. Upon the earlier of: - payment in full of all obligations under the secured credit agreement and the cancellation or termination of the secured credit agreement and related letters of credit and the written election of the applicable pledgor(s) or grantor(s); - the first date on which the pledged collateral no longer secures any obligations under the secured credit agreement and upon the written election of the applicable pledgor(s) or grantor(s); and - the achievement of "investment grade" debt ratings for OI Inc.'s and OI Group's long term unsecured debt (in the case of Moody's Investors Service, Inc., a rating of Baa3 or higher, and, in the case of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a rating of BBB or higher), the security interests securing the notes will terminate and the collateral will be released. In addition, lenders under the secured credit agreement have the ability to direct the collateral agent to release all or any portion of the collateral upon the approval of the requisite percentage of lenders under the secured credit agreement. In addition, in the event of an asset sale not prohibited by the secured credit agreement or the collateral documents, the assets subject to such sale will be released as collateral under the secured credit agreement. None of these actions by the lenders, or the applicable pledgor(s) or grantor(s) under the secured credit agreement or related collateral documents, require action by, or the consent of, any holder of the notes or the trustee under the indenture or constitute a default under the indenture. The release of collateral would eliminate the security for the notes and the collateral securing the guarantees of the notes, the secured credit agreement and any other indebtedness secured thereby. Because the lenders under the secured credit agreement control the disposition of the collateral securing the secured credit agreement and the notes, if there were an event of default under the notes, the lenders could decide not to proceed against the collateral, regardless of whether or not there is a default under the secured credit agreement. In such event, the only remedy available to the holders of the notes would be to sue for payment on the notes and the guarantees. By virtue of the direction of the administration of the pledges and security interests and the release of collateral, actions may be taken under the collateral documents that may be adverse to you. In addition, any guaranty of the notes may be released without action by, or consent of, any holder of the notes or the trustee under the indenture, at the discretion of the then obligor on the notes, if the guarantor is no longer a guarantor of obligations under the secured credit agreement, of obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as lending facilities as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement and of obligations under interest rate and currency agreements with lenders or their affiliates as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement. The lenders under the secured credit agreement have the discretion to release the guarantees under the secured credit agreement in a variety of circumstances. In the case of the release of collateral consisting of the stock of a guarantor of the notes, that release would cause the guarantor's guaranty to be released if the release occurs in the context of an asset sale of such guarantor that is not prohibited by the secured credit agreement or the collateral documents. Upon release of a guarantor of the notes under its guarantee, the collateral documents will provide that the security interests in the assets of that guarantor securing the notes and guarantees will be released simultaneously. You will not have a claim as a creditor against any subsidiary that is no longer a guarantor of the notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those subsidiaries will effectively be senior to your claims. 23 If collateral that secures the notes is later repledged or guarantees that guaranty the notes are reinstated under the secured credit agreement (including any amended and restated secured credit agreement or new credit agreement), such collateral will be pledged, subject to the terms of the collateral documents under the secured credit agreement (including any amended and restated secured credit agreement or new credit agreement), on a PARI PASSUbasis with obligations under the secured credit agreement to secure the notes, and such guarantees will be executed in favor of the notes. FURTHER COLLATERAL PLEDGES SUBJECT TO AVOIDANCE--ANY FUTURE PLEDGE OF COLLATERAL MIGHT BE AVOIDABLE BY A TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY. Any future pledge of collateral in favor of the collateral agent for the benefit of the indenture trustee might be avoidable by the pledgor (as debtor in possession) or by its trustee in bankruptcy if certain events or circumstances exist or occur, including, among others, if the pledgor is insolvent at the time of the pledge, the pledge permits the holders of the notes to receive a greater recovery than if the pledge had not been given and a bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the pledgor is commenced within 90 days following the pledge, or, in certain circumstances, a longer period. COVENANT RELIEF FOR INVESTMENT GRADE RATING--IF THE NOTES RECEIVE AN INVESTMENT GRADE RATING, WE WILL NO LONGER BE SUBJECT TO MOST OF THE COVENANTS IN THE INDENTURE. If at any time the notes receive an "investment grade" rating from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Moody's Investors Service, Inc., subject to certain additional conditions, OI Group and its restricted subsidiaries will no longer be subject to most of the covenants set forth in the indenture. In the event of such release, the covenants will not be restored, even if the notes were later rated below investment grade by either or both of these rating agencies. See "Description of Notes--Certain Covenants--Fall-Away Event." On and after the one-year anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement required to be filed by the registration rights agreement, we will be permitted to assign our obligations under the notes and the indenture to OI Inc., and we and each guarantor will thereafter be released from our obligations under the notes, the guarantees and the indenture, provided that (1) OI Inc. assumes all of the obligations under the notes and the indenture and (2) the obligations of each domestic borrower under the secured credit agreement have been or will be concurrently assumed by OI Inc. in accordance with the terms of the secured credit agreement. As a result, holders of the notes could look only to OI Inc. to satisfy the obligations on the notes. See "Description of Notes--Certain Covenants--Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets." FRAUDULENT TRANSFER--FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS PERMIT A COURT TO VOID THE NOTES OR THE GUARANTEES UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. The issuance of the notes and the guarantees may be subject to review under federal or state fraudulent transfer laws. While the relevant laws may vary from state to state, under such laws, the payment of consideration or the issuance of a guarantee will be a fraudulent conveyance if (1) we paid the consideration, or any guarantor issued guarantees, with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors, or (2) we or any of the guarantors received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for paying the consideration or issuing their respective guarantees, and, in the case of (2) above only, one of the following is also true: - we or any of the guarantors were insolvent, or became insolvent, when we or they paid the consideration; - paying the consideration or issuing the guarantees left us or the applicable guarantor with an unreasonably small amount of capital; or 24 - we or the applicable guarantor, as the case may be, intended to, or believed that we or it would, be unable to pay debts as they matured. If the payment of the consideration or the issuance of any guarantee were a fraudulent conveyance, a court could, among other things, void our obligations regarding the payment of the consideration or void any of the guarantors' obligations under their respective guarantees, as the case may be, and require the repayment of any amounts paid thereunder. Generally, an entity will be considered insolvent if: - the sum of its debts is greater than the fair value of its property; - the present fair value of its assets is less than the amount that it will be required to pay on its existing debts as they become due; or - it cannot pay its debts as they become due. We believe that immediately after the issuance of the notes and the guarantees, we and each of the guarantors will be solvent, will have sufficient capital to carry on our respective businesses and will be able to pay our respective debts as they mature. However, we cannot be sure as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would reach the same conclusions with regard to these issues. CHANGE OF CONTROL--THE SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT CERTAIN CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENTS CONSTITUTE AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. IN THE EVENT OF A CHANGE OF CONTROL, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SATISFY ALL OF OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR OTHER INDEBTEDNESS. If we, OI Inc. or OI Group experiences specific kinds of changes of control, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding notes. However, the secured credit agreement provides that certain change of control events constitute an event of default under the secured credit agreement. An event of default would entitle the lenders thereunder to, among other things, cause all outstanding debt obligations under the secured credit agreement to become due and payable and to proceed against their collateral, which includes collateral securing the notes and the guarantees. We cannot assure you that we would have sufficient assets or be able to obtain sufficient third party financing on favorable terms to satisfy all of our obligations under the secured credit agreement, the notes or other indebtedness. Any future credit agreements or other agreements relating to indebtedness to which we become a party may contain restrictions on our ability to offer to repurchase the notes in connection with a change of control. In the event a change of control occurs at a time when we are prohibited from offering to purchase the notes, we could seek consent to offer to purchase the notes or attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such a prohibition. If we do not obtain the consent or refinance the borrowings, we would remain prohibited from offering to purchase the notes. In such case, our failure to offer to purchase the notes would constitute a default under the indenture, which, in turn, could result in amounts outstanding under any future credit agreement or other agreements relating to indebtedness being declared due and payable. Any such declaration could have adverse consequences to us and the holders of the notes. The provisions relating to a change of control included in the indenture may increase the difficulty for a potential acquiror to obtain control of us. In addition, some important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations, that would increase the level of our indebtedness, would not constitute a "change of control" under the indenture. 25 NO PRIOR MARKET FOR THE EXCHANGE NOTES--YOU CANNOT BE SURE THAT AN ACTIVE TRADING MARKET WILL DEVELOP FOR THE EXCHANGE NOTES. The exchange notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no trading market. We have been informed by the initial purchasers of the private notes that they intend to make a market in the exchange notes. However, the initial purchasers may cease their market-making at any time. In addition, the liquidity of the trading market in the exchange notes, and the market price quoted for these notes, may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for high yield securities and by changes in our financial performance or in the prospects for companies in our industry generally. As a result, you cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for the exchange notes. RISKS RELATING TO THE BUSINESS OF OI GROUP INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS--OI GROUP IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATING IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. OI Group operates manufacturing and other facilities throughout the world. Net sales from international operations in 2001 totaled approximately $2.3 billion, representing approximately 43% of OI Group's net sales. As a result of its international operations, OI Group is subject to risks associated with operating in foreign countries, including: - political, social and economic instability; - war, civil disturbance or acts of terrorism; - taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation; - changes in government policies and regulations; - devaluations and fluctuations in currency exchange rates; - imposition of limitations on conversions of foreign currencies into dollars or remittance of dividends and other payments by foreign subsidiaries; - imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries; - hyperinflation in certain foreign countries; and - impositions or increase of investment and other restrictions or requirements by foreign governments. The unusually severe economic, market and/or currency exchange conditions in South America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region adversely affected operating results in 1999 and 2000. In addition, OI Group has continued to be negatively affected in 2001 by changing foreign currency exchange rates, which reduced U.S. dollar sales of foreign affiliates by approximately $160.0 million during that period. The risks associated with operating in foreign countries may have a material adverse effect on operations. COMPETITION--WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION FROM OTHER GLASS CONTAINER PRODUCERS, AS WELL AS FROM MAKERS OF ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF PACKAGING. COMPETITIVE PRESSURES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH. We are subject to significant competition from other glass container producers, as well as from makers of alternative forms of packaging, such as aluminum cans and plastic containers. Our principal competitors among glass container producers in the U.S. are Saint-Gobain Containers Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, and Anchor Glass Container Corporation. In supplying glass containers outside of the U.S., we compete directly with Compagnie de Saint-Gobain in Italy and Brazil, Rexam plc and Ardagh plc in the U.K., Vetropak in the Czech Republic 26 and Amcor Limited in Australia. In other locations in Europe, we compete indirectly with a variety of glass container firms including Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, BSN Glasspack, Vetropak and Rexam plc. In addition to competing with other large, well-established manufacturers in the glass container segment, we compete with manufacturers of other forms of rigid packaging, principally aluminum cans and plastic containers, on the basis of quality, price and service. The principal competitors producing metal containers are Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., Rexam plc, Ball Corporation and Silgan Holdings Inc. The principal competitors producing plastic containers are Consolidated Container Holdings, LLC, Graham Packaging Company, Plastipak Packaging, Inc. and Silgan Holdings Inc. We also compete with manufacturers of non-rigid packaging alternatives, including flexible pouches and aseptic cartons, in serving the packaging needs of juice customers. Pressures from competitors and producers of alternative forms of packaging have resulted in excess capacity in certain countries in the past and have led to significant pricing pressures in the rigid packaging market. HIGH ENERGY COSTS--HIGHER ENERGY COSTS WORLDWIDE AND INTERRUPTED POWER SUPPLIES MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OPERATIONS. Electrical power and natural gas are vital to OI Group's operations and it relies on a continuous power supply to conduct its business. In 2001, higher energy costs worldwide impacted OI Group's operations and earnings at a level that it did not anticipate. If energy costs substantially increase in the future, OI Group could experience a significant increase in operating costs, which may have a material adverse effect on future operating income. In addition, certain locations in which OI Group has operations have experienced power shortages that resulted in periodic "rolling" blackouts to maintain the stability of the power grid. Certain of OI Group's facilities are susceptible to power interruptions as long as any such energy crisis exists. Frequent power interruptions may have a material adverse effect on operations. INTEGRATION RISKS--OI GROUP MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE BUSINESSES IT ACQUIRES. OI Group's strategy includes the acquisition of complementary businesses. Any recent or future acquisitions are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including: - the inability to assimilate effectively the operations, products, technologies and personnel of the acquired companies (some of which are located in diverse geographic regions); - the potential disruption of existing business and diversion of management's attention from day-to-day operations; - the inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; - the need or obligation to divest portions of the acquired companies; and - the potential impairment of relationships with customers. In addition, we cannot assure you that the integration and consolidation of newly acquired businesses will achieve anticipated cost savings and operating synergies. CUSTOMER CONSOLIDATION--THE CONTINUING CONSOLIDATION OF OI GROUP'S CUSTOMER BASE MAY INTENSIFY PRICING PRESSURES AND HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OPERATIONS. Over the last ten years, many of OI Group's largest customers have acquired companies with similar or complementary product lines. This consolidation has increased the concentration of OI Group's business with its largest customers. In many cases, such consolidation has been accompanied by pressure from customers for lower prices, reflecting the increase in the total volume of product 27 purchased or the elimination of a price differential between the acquiring customer and the company acquired. Increased pricing pressures from OI Group's customers may have a material adverse effect on operations. SEASONALITY AND RAW MATERIALS--PROFITABILITY COULD BE AFFECTED BY VARIED SEASONAL DEMANDS AND THE AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS. Due principally to the seasonal nature of the brewing, iced tea and other beverage industries, in which demand is stronger during the summer months, sales of OI Group's products have varied and are expected to vary by quarter. Shipments in the U.S. and Europe are typically greater in the second and third quarters of the year, while shipments in South America and Asia Pacific are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the year. Unseasonably cool weather during peak demand periods can reduce demand for certain beverages packaged in OI Group's containers. The raw materials that OI Group uses have historically been available in adequate supply from multiple sources. For certain raw materials, however, there may be temporary shortages due to weather or other factors, including disruptions in supply caused by raw material transportation or production delays. These shortages, as well as material increases in the cost of any of the principal raw materials that OI Group uses, may have a material adverse effect on operations. ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS--OI GROUP IS SUBJECT TO VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO NEW LEGAL REQUIREMENTS IN THE FUTURE. THESE REQUIREMENTS MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OPERATIONS. OI Group's operations and properties, both in the U.S. and abroad, are subject to extensive laws, ordinances, regulations and other legal requirements relating to environmental protection, including legal requirements governing investigation and clean-up of contaminated properties as well as water discharges, air emissions, waste management and workplace health and safety. Such legal requirements frequently change and are different in every jurisdiction. OI Group's operations and properties, both in the U.S. and abroad, must comply with these legal requirements. In addition, OI Group is required to obtain and maintain permits in connection with its operations. OI Group has incurred, and expects to incur, costs for its operations to comply with environmental legal requirements, and these costs could increase in the future. Many environmental legal requirements provide for substantial fines, orders (including orders to cease operations), and criminal sanctions for violations. Certain environmental legal requirements provide for strict, joint and several liability for investigation and remediation of releases of hazardous substances into the environment and for natural resource damages, and may also impose liability for personal injury or property damage due to the presence of or exposure to hazardous substances. These legal requirements may apply to conditions at properties that OI Group presently or formerly owned or operated, as well as at other properties for which OI Group may be responsible, including those at which wastes attributable to OI Group were disposed. A significant order or judgment against OI Group, the loss of a significant permit or license or the imposition of a significant fine may have a material adverse effect on operations. A number of governmental authorities both in the U.S. and abroad have enacted, or are considering, legal requirements that would mandate certain rates of recycling, the use of recycled materials, and/or limitations on certain kinds of packaging materials such as plastics. In addition, some companies with packaging needs have responded to such developments, and /or to perceived environmental concerns of consumers, by using containers made in whole or in part of recycled materials. Such developments may reduce the demand for some of OI Group's products, and/or increase OI Group's costs, which may have a material adverse effect on operations. 28 LABOR RELATIONS--OI GROUP IS PARTY TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS WITH LABOR UNIONS. ORGANIZED STRIKES OR WORK STOPPAGES BY UNIONIZED EMPLOYEES MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OPERATIONS. OI Group is party to a number of collective bargaining agreements with labor unions, the principal one of which will expire in April 2005, and at December 31, 2001, covered approximately 90% of OI Group's union affiliated employees in the U.S. Upon the expiration of any collective bargaining agreement, OI Group's inability to negotiate acceptable contracts with labor unions could result in strikes by the affected workers and increased operating costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members. If the unionized workers were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage, OI Group could experience a significant disruption of operations and/or higher ongoing labor costs, which may have a material adverse effect on operations. 29 THE EXCHANGE OFFER PURPOSE OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER We issued the private notes on January 24, 2002 to Banc of America Securities LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., the initial purchasers, pursuant to a purchase agreement. The initial purchasers subsequently sold the private notes to "qualified institutional buyers," as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, in reliance on Rule 144A, and outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act. As a condition to the sale of the private notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers on January 24, 2002. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed that we would: (1) file an exchange offer registration statement with the SEC on or prior to May 24, 2002; (2) use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the exchange offer registration statement declared effective by the SEC on or prior to August 12, 2002; (3) keep the exchange offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable law, but in no event for less than 20 business days; (4) use our commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the exchange offer on or prior to September 21, 2002. Upon the effectiveness of the exchange offer registration statement, we will offer the exchange notes in exchange for the private notes. We filed a copy of the registration rights agreement as an exhibit to the registration statement. RESALE OF THE EXCHANGE NOTES Based upon an interpretation by the staff of the SEC contained in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that you may exchange private notes for exchange notes in the ordinary course of business. For further information on the SEC's position, see EXXON CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION, available May 13, 1988, MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INCORPORATED, available June 5, 1991 and SHEARMAN & STERLING, available July 2, 1993, and other interpretive letters to similar effect. You will be allowed to resell exchange notes to the public without further registration under the Securities Act and without delivering to purchasers of the exchange notes a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act so long as you do not participate, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement with any person to participate, in a distribution of the exchange notes. However, the foregoing does not apply to you if you are: - a broker-dealer who purchased the exchange notes directly from us to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act; or - you are an "affiliate" of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act. In addition, if: - you are a broker-dealer; or - you acquire exchange notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing or participating in the distribution of the exchange notes, you cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC contained in the no-action letters mentioned above and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction, unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. 30 Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for private notes, which the broker-dealer acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for private notes which the broker-dealer acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities. TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all private notes validly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration date. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of exchange notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding private notes surrendered pursuant to the exchange offer. You may tender private notes only in integral multiples of $1,000. The form and terms of the exchange notes are the same as the form and terms of the private notes except that: - we will register the exchange notes under the Securities Act and, therefore, the exchange notes will not bear legends restricting their transfer; and - holders of the exchange notes will not be entitled to any of the rights of holders of private notes under the registration rights agreement, which rights will terminate upon the completion of the exchange offer. The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the private notes and will be issued under the same indenture, so the exchange notes and the private notes will be treated as a single class of debt securities under the indenture. As of the date of this prospectus, $1,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the private notes are outstanding and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company. Only registered holders of the private notes, or their legal representative or attorney-in-fact, as reflected on the records of the trustee under the indenture, may participate in the exchange offer. We will not set a fixed record date for determining registered holders of the private notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer. You do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under the indenture in connection with the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement and the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC. We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered private notes when, as and if we had given oral or written notice of acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as your agent for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from us. If you tender private notes in the exchange offer you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of private notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than the applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. 31 EXPIRATION DATE; EXTENSIONS; AMENDMENTS The term expiration date will mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time on , 2002, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the term expiration date will mean the latest date and time to which we extend the exchange offer. To extend the exchange offer, we will: - notify the exchange agent of any extension orally or in writing; and - mail to each registered holder an announcement that will include disclosure of the approximate number of private notes deposited to date, each before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. We reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion: - to delay accepting any private notes: - to extend the exchange offer; or - if any conditions listed below under "--Conditions" are not satisfied, to terminate the exchange offer by giving oral or written notice of the delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent. We will follow any delay in acceptance, extension or termination as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the registered holders. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner we determine constitutes a material change, we will promptly disclose the amendment in a prospectus supplement that we will distribute to the registered holders. We will also extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during the five to ten business day period. INTEREST ON THE EXCHANGE NOTES The exchange notes will bear interest at the same rate and on the same terms as the private notes. Consequently, the exchange notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 8 7/8% per annum (calculated using a 360-day year). Interest will be payable semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15, commencing August 15, 2002. You will receive interest on August 15, 2002 from the date of initial issuance of the exchange notes, plus an amount equal to the accrued interest on the private notes from the date of delivery to the date of exchange. We will deem the right to receive any interest accrued on the private notes waived by you if we accept your private notes for exchange. PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING You may tender private notes in the exchange offer only if you are a registered holder of private notes. To tender in the exchange offer, you must: - complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal; - have the signatures guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal; and - mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or the facsimile to the exchange agent at the address listed below under "--Exchange Agent" for receipt before the expiration date. 32 In addition, either: - the exchange agent must receive certificates for the private notes along with the letter of transmittal into its account at the depositary pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below before the expiration date; - the exchange agent must receive a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the private notes, if the procedure is available, into its account at the depositary pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below before the expiration date; or - you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. Your tender, if not withdrawn before the expiration date, will constitute an agreement between you and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal. The method of delivery of private notes and the letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk. We recommend that instead of delivery by mail, you use an overnight or hand delivery service, properly insured. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. You should not send letters of transmittal or private notes to us. You may request your respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect the transactions described above for you. If you are a beneficial owner of private notes whose private notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your notes, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, before completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering the private notes you must either: - make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the private notes in your name; or - obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time. Unless the private notes are tendered: (1) by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal; or (2) for the account of: - a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; - a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States; or - an "eligible guarantor institution" within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act that is a member of one of the recognized signature guarantee programs identified in the letter of transmittal, an eligible guarantor institution must guarantee the signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal described below under "--Withdrawal of Tenders." If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder, the private notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by the registered holder as the registered holder's name appears on the private notes. 33 If the letter of transmittal or any private notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, they should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by us, they must submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act with the letter of transmittal. The exchange agent and the depositary have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in the depositary's system may utilize the depositary's Automated Tender Offer Program to tender notes. We will determine in our sole discretion all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, acceptance and withdrawal of tendered private notes, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all private notes not properly tendered or any private notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular private notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, you must cure any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of private notes within the time we determine. Although we intend to notify you of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of private notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give you that notification. Unless waived, we will not deem tenders of private notes to have been made until you cure the defects or irregularities. While we have no present plan to acquire any private notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any private notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to purchase or make offers for any private notes that remain outstanding after the expiration date. We also reserve the right to terminate the exchange offer, as described below under "--Conditions," and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase private notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The terms of any of those purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer. If you wish to tender private notes in exchange for exchange notes in the exchange offer, we will require you to represent that: - you are not an affiliate of ours; - you will acquire any exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; and - at the time of completion of the exchange offer, you have no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes. In addition, in connection with the resale of exchange notes, any participating broker-dealer who acquired the private notes for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act. The SEC has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the exchange notes, other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the notes, with this prospectus. RETURN OF NOTES If we do not accept any tendered private notes for any reason described in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or if you withdraw or submit private notes for a greater principal amount than you desire to exchange, we will return the unaccepted, withdrawn or non-exchanged notes without expense to you as promptly as practicable. In the case of private notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at the depositary pursuant to the book-entry transfer 34 procedures described below, we will credit the private notes to an account maintained with the depositary as promptly as practicable. BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the private notes at the depositary for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in the depositary's systems may make book-entry delivery of private notes by causing the depositary to transfer the private notes into the exchange agent's account at the depositary in accordance with the depositary's procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of private notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at the depositary, you must transmit and the exchange agent must receive, the letter of transmittal or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, at the address below under "--Exchange Agent" on or before the expiration date or pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES If you wish to tender your private notes and (1) the notes are not immediately available or (2) you cannot deliver the private notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent before the expiration date, you may effect a tender if: (1) the tender is made through an eligible guarantor institution; (2) before the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from the eligible guarantor institution a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by us, that: - states your name and address, the certificate number(s) of the private notes and the principal amount of private notes tendered, - states that the tender is being made by that notice of guaranteed delivery, and - guarantees that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the eligible guarantor institution will deposit with the exchange agent the letter of transmittal, together with the certificate(s) representing the private notes in proper form for transfer or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer, as the case may be, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal; and (3) within five New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the exchange agent receives a properly executed letter of transmittal, as well as the certificate(s) representing all tendered private notes in proper form for transfer and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal. Upon request, the exchange agent will send to you a notice of guaranteed delivery if you wish to tender your notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures described above. WITHDRAWAL OF TENDERS Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw tenders of private notes at any time before 5:00 p.m. on the expiration date. To withdraw a tender of private notes in the exchange offer, the exchange agent must receive a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal at its address listed in this prospectus before the expiration date. Any notice of withdrawal must: - specify the name of the person who deposited the private notes to be withdrawn; 35 - identify the private notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate number(s) and principal amount of the private notes; and - be signed in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which the private notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees. We will determine in our sole discretion all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility of the notices, and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. We will not deem any properly withdrawn private notes to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer, and we will not issue exchange notes with respect to those private notes, unless you validly retender the withdrawn private notes. You may retender properly withdrawn private notes by following one of the procedures described above under "--Procedures for Tendering" at any time before the expiration date. CONDITIONS Notwithstanding any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange the exchange notes for, any private notes, and may terminate the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before the acceptance of the private notes, if, in our reasonable judgment, the exchange offer violates applicable law, rules or regulations or an applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC. If we determine in our reasonable discretion that any of these conditions are not satisfied, we may: - refuse to accept any private notes and return all tendered private notes to you; - extend the exchange offer and retain all private notes tendered before the exchange offer expires, subject, however, to your rights to withdraw the private notes; or - waive the unsatisfied conditions with respect to the exchange offer and accept all properly tendered private notes that have not been withdrawn. If the waiver constitutes a material change to the exchange offer, we will promptly disclose the waiver by means of a prospectus supplement that we will distribute to the registered holders of the private notes, and we will extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the waiver and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during the five to ten business day period. TERMINATION OF RIGHTS All of your rights under the registration rights agreement will terminate upon consummation of the exchange offer except with respect to our continuing obligations: - to indemnify you and parties related to you against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act; and - to provide, upon your request, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to permit resales of the notes pursuant to Rule 144A. SHELF REGISTRATION If: (1) we and the guarantors are not permitted to consummate the exchange offer because the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy; or 36 (2) any holder of transfer restricted securities notifies us prior to the 20th day following consummation of the exchange offer that: (a) it is prohibited by law or SEC policy from participating in the exchange offer; or (b) that it may not resell the exchange notes acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement is not appropriate or available for such resales; or (c) that it is a broker-dealer and owns private notes acquired directly from us or an affiliate of us, we and the guarantors will file with the SEC a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the private notes by the holders thereof who satisfy certain conditions relating to the provision of information in connection with the shelf registration statement. For purposes of the preceding, "transfer restricted securities" means each private note until: (1) the date on which such note has been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer for an exchange note in the exchange offer; (2) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the exchange offer of a private note for an exchange note, the date on which such exchange note is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement; (3) the date on which such private note has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the shelf registration statement; or (4) the date on which such private note is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES If: (1) we and the guarantors fail to file any of the registration statements required by the registration rights agreement on or before the date specified for such filing; or (2) any of such registration statements is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness; or (3) we and the guarantors fail to consummate the exchange offer within 40 days after the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective; or (4) the shelf registration statement or the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales or exchanges of transfer restricted securities during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (1) through (4) above, a "registration default"); then we and the guarantors will pay liquidated damages to each holder of outstanding notes ("liquidated damages") during the period of one or more registration defaults, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first registration default in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum (which amount will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that any liquidated damages continue to accrue; provided that the amounts at which liquidated damages accrue may in no event exceed 1.0% per annum) in respect of the transfer restricted securities held by such holder until the applicable registration statement is filed, the exchange 37 offer registration statement is declared effective and the exchange offer is consummated or the shelf registration statement is declared effective or again becomes effective, as the case may be.

You should direct questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or the letter of transmittal and requests for a notice of guaranteed delivery to the exchange agent addressed as follows: BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL: BY HAND DELIVERY: U.S. Bank National Association U.S. Bank National Association 180 East Fifth Street 180 East Fifth Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Attention: Corporate Trust Administration Attention: Corporate Trust Administration BY OVERNIGHT DELIVERY: BY FACSIMILE: U.S. Bank National Association (651) 244-0711 180 East Fifth Street Attn: Corporate Trust Administration St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 CONFIRM BY TELEPHONE: Attention: Corporate Trust Administration (651) 244-8677
Delivery to an address other than the one stated above or transmission via a facsimile number other than the one stated above will not constitute a valid delivery. FEES AND EXPENSES We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. We are making the principal solicitation by mail; however, our officers and regular employees may make additional solicitations by facsimile, telephone or in person. We have not retained any dealer manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We will pay the cash expenses incurred in connection with the exchange offer which we estimate to be approximately $250,000.

(g) EBIT consists of consolidated earnings before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, minority share owners' interests in earnings of subsidiaries and extraordinary charges. (h) EBITDA consists of EBIT before depreciation and amortization of excess cost and intangibles. EBITDA is presented because OI Group believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in OI Group's industry. However, other companies in OI Group's industry may calculate EBITDA differently than OI Group does. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of OI Group's operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See "Consolidated Financial Statements--Consolidated Cash Flows." 42 (i) OI Group evaluates performance and allocates resources based on EBIT excluding unusual items ("Adjusted EBIT"). Unusual items consist of the gains, losses and charges discussed in Notes (c) and (d) above. The reconciliation from EBIT to Adjusted EBIT is as follows:

- -------------------------- (j) Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding the unusual gains, losses and charges discussed in Notes (c) and (d) and summarized in Note (i) above. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because OI Group believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in OI Group's industry. However, other companies in OI Group's industry may present Adjusted EBITDA differently than OI Group does. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of OI Group's operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See "Consolidated Financial Statements--Consolidated Cash Flows." (k) For purposes of these computations, earnings consist of earnings before income taxes, minority share owners' interests in earnings of subsidiaries and extraordinary items plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist primarily of interest on indebtedness, including amortization of deferred finance fees, plus that portion of lease rental expense representative of the interest factor. Pretax earnings and fixed charges also include the proportional share of 50%-owned investees. 43 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF OWENS-ILLINOIS GROUP, INC. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF 2001 WITH 2000 For the year ended December 31, 2001, OI Group recorded earnings of $360.7 million before an extraordinary item compared to net earnings of $72.3 million for 2000. Net earnings of $356.6 million for 2001 reflect $4.1 million of an extraordinary charge from the early extinguishment of debt. Excluding the effects of unusual items for both 2001 and 2000 discussed in the table below, OI Group's 2001 earnings of $199.0 million before an extraordinary item decreased $35.0 million, or 15.0%, from 2000 earnings of $234.0 million. The following table lists unusual items (in millions of dollars) recorded in 2001 and 2000, and their related effects on both EBIT and earnings before extraordinary items. EBIT is defined as earnings before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, minority share owners' interest in earnings of subsidiaries, and extraordinary charges.

Consolidated EBIT, excluding unusual items, for 2001 was $764.3 million, a decrease of $96.6 million, or 11.2%, compared to 2000 EBIT, excluding unusual items, of $860.9 million. The decrease is attributable to lower EBIT for both the Glass Containers segment and the Plastics Packaging segment. Results of both segments are discussed further below. Interest expense, net of 44 interest income and unusual items, decreased $51.1 million from 2000 due principally to lower interest rates and decreased levels of debt. Exclusive of the adjustment for net income tax liabilities in Italy and other unusual items previously discussed, the effective tax rate for 2001 was 38.1%. This compares with a rate of 36.9% for 2000, excluding the adjustment for net income tax liabilities in Italy and other unusual items. The increase in the 2001 rate compared to 2000 is primarily the result of the non-recurrence of certain international and domestic tax benefits and credits. Capsule segment results (in millions of dollars) for 2001 and 2000 were as follows (a):

- ------------------------ (a) See "Consolidated Financial Statements--Segment Information." (b) EBIT consists of consolidated earnings before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, minority share owners' interests in earnings of subsidiaries and extraordinary charges. (c) Amount for 2001 includes: (1) a gain of $457.3 million related to the sale of the Harbor Capital Advisors business; (2) a $10.3 million gain from the sale of a minerals business in Australia; (3) a $2.8 million gain from the sale of the label business; (4) charges of $82.1 million related to restructuring and impairment charges at certain international glass operations, principally Venezuela and Puerto Rico, as well as certain other domestic and international operations; (5) a charge of $31.0 million related to the loss on the sale of facilities in India; (6) charges of $30.9 million related to special employee benefit programs; (7) a charge of $8.5 million for certain contingencies; and (8) a charge of $7.9 million related to restructuring manufacturing capacity in the medical devices business.

(d) Amount for 2000 includes charges totaling $248.3 million for the following: (1) $122.4 million related to the consolidation of manufacturing capacity; (2) a net charge of $52.4 million related to early retirement incentives and special termination benefits for 350 U.S. salaried employees; (3) $40.0 million related to the impairment of property, plant and equipment at facilities in India; 45 and (4) $33.5 million related principally to the write-off of software and related development costs. These items were recorded in the third quarter of 2000. Such items are included as follows in consolidated EBIT for 2000 (in millions of dollars): Glass Containers............................................ $186.0 Plastics Packaging.......................................... 11.2 ------ Total Product Segments.................................... 197.2 Eliminations and other retained items....................... 51.1 ------ Consolidated Totals....................................... $248.3 ======
Consolidated net sales for 2001 decreased $149.6 million, or 2.7%, over the prior year. Net sales of the Glass Containers segment decreased $124.4 million from 2000. In North America, the additional sales from the acquisition of the Canadian operations were more than offset by decreased shipments of containers for beer producers and conversions of certain juice and iced tea from glass to plastic containers. The combined U.S. dollar sales of the segment's foreign affiliates decreased from the prior year. Increased shipments from operations throughout most of Europe and South America were more than offset by the effects of a strong U.S. dollar and lower shipments from operations in the United Kingdom and most of the Asia Pacific region. The effect of changing foreign currency exchange rates reduced U.S. dollar sales of the segment's foreign affiliates by approximately $140 million. Net sales of the Plastics Packaging segment increased $29.9 million, or 1.7%, over 2000, reflecting increased shipments of plastic containers and closures for food and health care, as well as prescription products, and the effects of higher resin costs on pass-through arrangements with customers, partially offset by lower shipments of plastic containers for juice and other beverages and the effect of changing foreign currency exchange rates, principally in Australia. The effects of higher resin costs increased sales by approximately $32 million compared to 2000. Segment EBIT for 2001, excluding the 2001 and 2000 unusual items, decreased $15.3 million to $822.2 million, or 15.2% of net sales, from 2000 segment EBIT of $837.5 million, or 15.1% of net sales. Consolidated operating expense (consisting of selling and administrative, engineering, and research and development expenses) as a percentage of net sales was 7.7% in 2001 compared to 6.5% in 2000. The increase in operating expenses is attributed to lower pension income and higher costs of certain employee benefit programs. EBIT of the Glass Containers segment decreased $4.7 million, or 0.8%, to $582.5 million, compared to $587.2 million in 2000. The combined U.S. dollar EBIT of the segment's foreign affiliates increased from prior year. Increased shipments from operations throughout most of Europe and South America were partially offset by the effects of a strong U.S. dollar, higher energy costs worldwide, and lower shipments from operations in the United Kingdom and most of the Asia Pacific region. In the United States, Glass Container EBIT decreased from 2000 principally due to higher energy costs, which have not been fully recovered through price adjustments. EBIT of the Plastics Packaging segment decreased $1.3 million, or 0.5%, to $247.9 million, compared to $249.2 million in 2000. Increased shipments of plastic containers and closures for food and health care, as well as prescription products, were more than offset by lower shipments of plastic containers for juice and other beverages and one-time costs associated with the relocation of a U.S. manufacturing operation to a new and larger facility to accommodate a growing business base. Eliminations and other retained items, excluding the 2001 and 2000 unusual items, declined $81.3 million from 2000 reflecting lower net financial services income due to the sale of the Harbor Capital Advisors business, higher spending on information systems, and certain employee benefit costs increases. The 2001 results include a net pretax gain of $310.0 million ($170.5 million after tax and minority share owners' interest) for the following: (1) a gain of $457.3 million ($284.4 million after tax) related to the sale of the Harbor Capital Advisors business; (2) gains totaling $13.1 million ($12.0 million after 46 tax) related to the sale of the label business and the sale of a minerals business in Australia; (3) charges of $82.1 million ($65.3 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related to restructuring and impairment charges at certain international glass operations, principally Venezuela and Puerto Rico, as well as certain other domestic and international operations; (4) a charge of $31.0 million (pretax and after tax) related to the loss on the sale of facilities in India; (5) charges of $30.9 million ($19.4 million after tax) related to special employee benefit programs; (6) a charge of $8.5 million ($5.3 million after tax) for certain contingencies; and (7) a charge of $7.9 million ($4.9 million after tax) related to restructuring manufacturing capacity in the medical devices business. The 2000 results include pretax charges totaling $248.3 million ($171.0 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) for the following: (1) $122.4 million ($77.3 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related to the consolidation of manufacturing capacity; (2) a net charge of $52.4 million ($32.6 million after tax) related to early retirement incentives and special termination benefits for 350 United States salaried employees; (3) $40.0 million (pretax and after tax) related to the impairment of property, plant and equipment at facilities in India; and (4) $33.5 million ($21.1 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related principally to the write-off of software and related development costs. COMPARISON OF 2000 WITH 1999 For the year ended December 31, 2000, OI Group recorded net earnings of $72.3 million compared to earnings before extraordinary items of $299.1 million for 1999. Net earnings of $298.3 million for 1999 reflect $0.8 million of extraordinary charges from the early extinguishment of debt. Excluding the effects of unusual items for both 2000 and 1999 discussed in the table below, OI Group's 2000 earnings of $234.0 million decreased $55.5 million, or 19.2%, from 1999 earnings before extraordinary items of $289.5 million. The 2000 results include the unusual items discussed above. The 1999 results included the following unusual items: (1) gains totaling $40.8 million ($23.6 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related to the sales of a U.S. glass container plant and a mold manufacturing business in Colombia and (2) charge totaling $20.8 million ($14.0 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related principally to restructuring costs and write-offs of certain assets in Europe and South America. Consolidated EBIT, excluding unusual items, for 2000 was $860.9 million, a decrease of $14.3 million, or 1.6%, compared to consolidated EBIT for 1999, excluding unusual items, of $875.2 million. The decrease is attributable to lower EBIT for the Plastics Packaging segment, partially offset by slightly higher EBIT for the Glass Containers segment. Results of both segments are discussed further below. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased $56.8 million from the 1999 period due principally to higher interest rates. The $8.8 million increase in minority share owners' interests in earnings of subsidiaries resulted from higher net earnings of certain foreign affiliates, principally the affiliates in Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil. Exclusive of the adjustment for net income tax liabilities in Italy and other unusual items previously discussed, the effective tax rate for 2000 was 36.9%. This compares with a rate of 36.9% for 1999, excluding unusual items. 47 Capsule segment results (in millions of dollars) for 2000 and 1999 were as follows (a):
NET SALES TO UNAFFILIATED CUSTOMERS 2000 1999 - ----------------------------------- -------- -------- Glass Containers............................................ $3,695.6 $3,762.6 Plastics Packaging.......................................... 1,787.6 1,686.7 Other....................................................... 68.9 73.6 -------- -------- Segment and consolidated net sales.......................... $5,552.1 $5,522.9 -------- --------

- ------------------------ (a) See "Consolidated Financial Statements--Segment Information." (b) EBIT for 2000 includes charges totaling $248.3 million for the following: (1) $122.4 million related to the consolidation of manufacturing capacity; (2) a net charge of $52.4 million related to early retirement incentives and special termination benefits for 350 U.S. salaried employees; (3) $40.0 million related to the impairment of property, plant and equipment at facilities in India; and (4) $33.5 million related principally to the write-off of software and related development costs. These items were recorded in the third quarter of 2000. These items decreased segment EBIT as follows: Glass Containers--$186.0 million; Plastics Packaging--$11.2 million; Eliminations and other retained items--$51.1 million. (c) EBIT for 1999 includes: (1) gains totaling $40.8 million related to the sales of a U.S. glass container plant and a mold manufacturing business in Colombia; and (2) charges totaling $20.8 million related principally to restructuring costs and write-offs of certain assets in Europe and South America. Consolidated net sales for 2000 increased $29.2 million, or 0.5%, over the prior year. Net sales of the Glass Containers segment decreased $67.0 million from 1999. In the U.S., the effect of increased shipments of containers for beer producers was partially offset by lower shipments of certain food containers. The combined U.S. dollar sales of the segment's foreign affiliates decreased from the prior year due to the strength of the U.S. dollar. Increased shipments from the operations throughout most of Europe, South America and the Asia Pacific region were more than offset by lower shipments from the operations in the U.K. and the effects of a strong U.S. dollar. The effect of changing foreign currency exchange rates reduced U.S. dollar sales of the segment's foreign affiliates by approximately $230 million. Net sales of the Plastics Packaging segment increased $100.9 million, or 6.0%, over 1999, reflecting increased shipments of plastic containers for juices, closures for food and beverages, and the effects of higher resin costs on pass-through arrangements with customers, partially offset by lower shipments of household, health care and personal care containers. The effects of higher resin costs increased sales by approximately $90 million compared to 1999. Segment EBIT for 2000, excluding the 2000 and 1999 unusual items, decreased $31.8 million to $837.5 million, or 15.1% of net sales, from 1999 segment EBIT of $869.3 million, or 15.7% of net sales. Consolidated operating expense (consisting of selling and administrative, engineering, and research and development expenses) as a percentage of net sales was 6.5% in 2000 compared to 6.8% in 1999. EBIT of the Glass Containers segment increased $4.8 million, or 0.8%, to $587.2 million, compared to $582.4 million in 1999. The combined U.S. dollar EBIT of the segment's foreign affiliates increased 48 from the prior year. Increased shipments from the operations throughout most of Europe, South America, and the Asia Pacific region, and a gain from the restructuring of the ownership in two small joint ventures in South America were partially offset by the effects of a strong U.S. dollar, higher energy costs worldwide, and expenses associated with the scheduled rebuild of a glass melting furnace in Australia. In the U.S., Glass Container EBIT decreased from 1999 principally due to higher energy costs and conversions of juice and iced tea bottles from glass to plastic containers, partially offset by further improvements in cost structure. EBIT of the Plastics Packaging segment decreased $28.5 million, or 10.3%, to $249.2 million, compared to $277.7 million in 1999. Increased shipments of plastic containers for juices and closures for food and beverages were more than offset by lower shipments of household, health care, and personal care containers and costs incurred in connection with the start-up of new custom polyethylene terephthalate (PET) capacity, including a new plastic bottle plant. Eliminations and other retained items improved $17.5 million from 1999 principally due to higher net financial services income. The 2000 results included pretax charges totaling $248.3 million ($171.0 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) for the following: (1) $122.4 million ($77.3 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related to the consolidation of manufacturing capacity; (2) a net charge of $52.4 million ($32.6 million after tax) related to early retirement incentives and special termination benefits for 350 U.S. salaried employees; (3) $40.0 million ($40.0 million after tax) related to the impairment of property, plant and equipment at facilities in India; and (4) $33.5 million ($21.1 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related principally to the write-off of software and related development costs. The 1999 results included the following unusual items: (1) gains totaling $40.8 million ($23.6 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related to the sales of a U.S. glass container plant and a mold manufacturing business in Colombia; and (2) charges totaling $20.8 million ($14.0 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related principally to restructuring costs and write-offs of certain assets in Europe and South America. RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES The 2001 operating results include pretax charges of $90.0 million related to the following: (1) charges of $82.1 million principally related to a restructuring program and impairment at certain of the international and domestic operations. The charge includes the impairment of assets at OI Group's affiliate in Puerto Rico and the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and the closing of a facility in Venezuela. The program also includes consolidation of capacity at certain other international and domestic facilities in response to decisions about pricing and market strategy and (2) a charge of $7.9 million related to restructuring manufacturing capacity in the medical devices business. OI Group expects its actions related to these restructuring and impairment charges to be completed during the next several quarters. 2000 operating results included a pretax charge of $248.3 million recorded in the third quarter, principally related to a restructuring and capacity realignment program. The restructuring and capacity realignment program, initiated in the third quarter of 2000, included the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and a reduction of 350 employees in the U.S. salaried work force, or about 10%, principally as a result of early retirement incentives. Also included in the charge was a write-down of plant and equipment for OI Group's glass container affiliate in India and certain other asset write-offs, including $27.9 million for software which had been abandoned. Manufacturing capacity consolidations principally involved U.S. glass container facilities and reflect technology-driven improvements in productivity, conversions from some juice and similar products to plastic containers, decisions regarding pricing and volume, and the further concentration of production in the most strategically-located facilities. 49 CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Total debt at December 31, 2001 was $5.40 billion, compared to $5.85 billion at December 31, 2000. During April 2001, certain of OI Group's subsidiaries entered into the secured credit agreement with a group of banks, which expires on March 31, 2004. The secured credit agreement provides for a $3.0 billion revolving credit facility and a $1.5 billion term loan. The borrowers under the term loan used the proceeds therefrom to repay intercompany amounts owed to OI Inc., which in turn used the proceeds from the repayment of such intercompany amounts to repay amounts outstanding under, and terminate, its existing credit agreement. At December 31, 2001, term loans and the available credit totaled $4.045 billion under the secured credit agreement, of which $491.4 million had not been utilized. At December 31, 2000, $597.8 million of available credit had not been utilized under OI Inc.'s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Cash provided by operating activities was $620.3 million in 2001 compared to $541.7 million in 2000. In June 2001, OI Group completed the sale of its Harbor Capital Advisors business to Robeco Groep N.V. Harbor Capital Advisors is the adviser to the Harbor Fund family of mutual funds and the pension funds of several companies, including OI Inc. OI Group used substantially all the net cash proceeds from the sale to reduce the outstanding term loan under the secured credit agreement by $455 million. On October 1, 2001, one of OI Group's subsidiaries completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $150 million and the assumption of certain liabilities. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved the transaction as part of a restructuring plan by Consumers Packaging. The purchase price was financed by borrowings under the secured credit agreement. OI Inc. has substantial obligations related to semiannual interest payments on $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities. In addition, OI Inc. pays aggregate annual dividends of $21.5 million on 9,050,000 shares of its $2.375 convertible preferred stock. OI Inc. also makes, and expects in the future to make, substantial indemnity payments and payments for legal fees and expenses in connection with asbestos-related lawsuits and claims. OI Inc.'s asbestos-related payments for the year ended December 31, 2001, was $245.9 million. OI Inc. expects that the gross amount of total asbestos-related payments will be moderately lower in 2002 compared to 2001. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from OI Group to meet these obligations. Based on OI Inc.'s expectations regarding future payments for lawsuits and claims and its expectation of the collection of its insurance coverage for partial reimbursement for such lawsuits and claims, and also based on OI Group's expected operating cash flow, OI Group believes that the payments to OI Inc. for any deferred amounts of previously settled or otherwise determined lawsuits and claims, and the resolution of presently pending and anticipated future lawsuits and claims associated with asbestos, will not have a material adverse effect upon OI Group's liquidity on a short-term or long-term basis. The secured credit agreement contains covenants and provisions that, among other things, restrict the ability of OI Group and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, enter into contingent obligations, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, loans or advances, make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the business conducted by OI Group and its subsidiaries, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. In addition, the secured credit agreement contains financial covenants that require OI Group and its subsidiaries to maintain, based upon the financial statements of OI Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, specified financial ratios and tests, including minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratios, minimum net worth and specified capital expenditure tests. OI Group anticipates that cash flow from its operations and from utilization of credit available through March 2004 under the secured credit agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating and seasonal working capital needs, debt service, and other obligations including payments to OI Inc. described above. 50 The indenture for the notes will restrict, among other things, the ability of OI Group and its restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase, stock, make investments, create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. The following information summarizes OI Group's significant contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2001 (millions of dollars).
PAYMENTS DUE BY PERIOD ------------------------------------------- LESS THAN TOTAL ONE YEAR 1-3 YEARS 4+ YEARS -------- --------- --------- -------- Contractual cash obligations: Long-term debt............................................ $5,358.3 $30.8 $2,848.6 $2,478.9 Capital lease obligations................................. 2.2 2.2 Operating leases.......................................... 243.1 62.0 120.1 61.0 -------- ----- -------- -------- Total contractual cash obligations...................... $5,603.6 $92.8 $2,970.9 $2,539.9 ======== ===== ======== ========

EXCESS OF PURCHASE COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED The excess of purchase cost over net assets acquired, net of accumulated amortization ("goodwill") was $3.0 billion and $3.1 billion at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This represents 30% and 31% of total assets, and 129% and 147% of share owner's equity at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the fair values assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired, and under accounting standards in effect through 2001, was amortized over 40 years. In assigning a benefit period to goodwill, OI Group considers regulatory provisions, the technological environment in which the acquired company operates, including barriers to new competing entities, the maturity of the products manufactured by the businesses acquired, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. OI Group has determined that no events or circumstances occurred in 2001 to warrant revised estimates of the goodwill benefit period. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," which is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Also in July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS No. 142"), which is effective for goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001. For goodwill acquired prior to June 30, 2001, FAS No. 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under FAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. OI Group estimates that adopting FAS No. 142 will increase 2002 earnings before the effects of the accounting change by approximately $90 million compared to 2001 results. OI Group has not completed its assessment of the effects that adopting FAS No. 142 will have on the reported value of goodwill, however, OI Group expects that it will record an impairment charge in 2002 in connection with adopting FAS No. 142. 51 PENSION BENEFIT PLANS FUNDED STATUS Because of their funded status, OI Group's principal pension benefit plans contributed pretax credits to earnings of $97.0 million in 2001, $105.4 million in 2000 and $74.4 million in 1999. OI Group expects that the amount of such credits for 2002 will be approximately 20% lower than in 2001. The decrease in pretax pension credits is attributed to lower expected return on assets and the addition of certain pension plans from the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. A one-half percentage point change in the actuarial assumption regarding the expected return on assets would result in a change of approximately $15 million in pretax pension credits. The funded status of the plans provides assurance of benefits for participating employees, but future effects on operating results depend on economic conditions and investment performance. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risks relating to OI Group's operations result primarily from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates, and changes in commodity prices, principally natural gas. OI Group uses certain derivative instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuating natural gas prices. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK A substantial portion of OI Group's operations consists of manufacturing and sales activities conducted by affiliates in foreign jurisdictions. The primary foreign markets served by OI Group's affiliates are in Australia, South America (principally Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela) and Europe (principally Italy, the U.K. and Poland). In general, revenues earned and costs incurred by OI Group's major foreign affiliates are denominated in their respective local currencies. Consequently, OI Group's reported financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or highly inflationary economic conditions in the foreign markets in which OI Group's affiliates operate. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the reported dollar value of local currency EBIT generally decreases; when the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the reported U.S. dollar value of local currency EBIT generally increases. Subject to other business and tax considerations, OI Group's strategy is to mitigate the economic effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on that portion of foreign currency EBIT which is expected to be invested elsewhere or remitted to the parent company. OI Group's foreign affiliates generally invest their excess funds in U.S. dollars or dollar-based instruments, where such instruments are available with acceptable interest rates and terms. In those countries where the local currency is the designated functional currency, however, this strategy exposes OI Group to reported losses or gains in the event the foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar. OI Group believes that the benefit of investing excess cash in U.S. dollars or their equivalent outweighs the risk of reporting losses or gains from currency exchange rate fluctuations. In those countries with hyper-inflationary economies, where the U.S. dollar is the designated functional currency, this investment strategy for excess funds mitigates the risk of reported losses or gains. Because most of OI Group's foreign affiliates operate within their local economic environment, OI Group believes it is appropriate to finance those operations with local currency borrowings to the extent practicable. Considerations which influence the amount of such borrowings include long- and short-term business plans, tax implications, and the availability of borrowings with acceptable interest rates and terms. In those countries where the local currency is the designated functional currency, this strategy mitigates the risk of reported losses or gains in the event the foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar. In those countries where the U.S. dollar is the designated functional currency, however, local currency borrowings expose OI Group to reported losses or gains in the event the foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar. 52 OI Group's secured credit agreement provides for U.S. dollar borrowings by certain foreign affiliates. As of December 31, 2001, amounts outstanding under the secured credit agreement borrowed by foreign affiliates were:
MILLIONS OF AFFILIATE LOCATION U.S. DOLLARS - ------------------ ------------ Australia................................................... $814.0 United Kingdom.............................................. 130.0 ------ $944.0 ======
A significant portion of the above borrowings has been swapped into local currencies using currency swaps. OI Group accounts for these swaps as fair value hedges. As such, the changes in the value of the swaps are included in other expense and are expected to substantially offset any exchange rate gains or losses on the related U.S. dollar borrowings. The remaining portion of OI Group's consolidated debt which was denominated in foreign currencies was not significant. OI Group believes it does not have material foreign currency exchange rate risk related to local currency denominated financial instruments (I.E., cash, short-term investments and long-term debt) of its foreign affiliates. INTEREST RATE RISK OI Group's interest expense is most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates applicable to its U.S. dollar indebtedness. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in variable interest rates, OI Group could, at its option, convert to fixed interest rates by either refinancing variable rate debt with fixed rate debt or entering into interest rate swaps. The following table provides information about OI Group's significant interest rate risk at December 31, 2001.
OUTSTANDING FAIR VALUE ----------- ---------- (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Variable rate debt: Secured Credit Agreement, matures March 31, 2004: Revolving Loans, interest at a Eurodollar based rate plus 2.00%................................................... $2,410.4 $2,410.4 Term Loan, interest at a Eurodollar based rate plus 2.50%................................................... $1,045.0 $1,045.0
The fair value of the OI Inc. debt being guaranteed by OI Group at December 31, 2001 was $1,545.1 million. COMMODITY RISK OI Group is exposed to fluctuation of various commodity prices, most significantly, the changes in prices related to natural gas. OI Group purchases a significant amount of natural gas at nationally quoted market prices. OI Group uses commodity futures contracts related to a portion of its forecasted future natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid and the potential volatility in earnings or cash flows from future price movements. During 2001, OI Group entered into commodity futures contracts for approximately 75% of its domestic natural gas usage (approximately 1.2 billion BTUs) through March 2002. OI Group has also entered into additional contracts during 2002 in order to hedge its natural gas needs through the end of 2002. 53 BUSINESS OI Group is one of the world's leading manufacturers of packaging products. OI Group is the largest manufacturer of glass containers in North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand, and one of the largest in Europe. In addition, OI Group is a leading manufacturer in North America of plastic containers, plastic closures and plastic prescription containers. OI Group also has plastics packaging operations in South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Consistent with its strategy to continue to strengthen its existing packaging businesses, OI Group has acquired 18 glass container businesses in 18 countries since 1991, including businesses in South America, Central and Eastern Europe and the Asia Pacific region, and six plastics packaging businesses with operations in 11 countries. OI Group believes it is a technological leader in the worldwide glass container and plastics packaging segments of the rigid packaging market. During the five years ended December 31, 2001, OI Group invested more than $2.3 billion in capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions) and more than $342.0 million in research, development and engineering to, among other things, improve labor and machine productivity, increase capacity in growing markets and commercialize technology into new products. OI Group is a holding company with subsidiaries operating in two product segments: - glass containers, manufactured by us; and - plastics packaging, manufactured principally by subsidiaries of OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. GLASS CONTAINERS We are an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of OI Group and a leading manufacturer of glass containers throughout the world. Approximately one of every two glass containers made worldwide is made by us, our affiliates or our licensees. Worldwide glass container sales represented 66% of OI Group's consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 67% of those sales for the year ended December 31, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we manufactured approximately 41% of all glass containers sold by domestic producers in the U.S., making us the leading manufacturer of glass containers in the U.S. We are the leading glass container manufacturer in 17 of the 19 countries where we compete in the glass container segment of the rigid packaging market and the sole manufacturer of glass containers in eight of these countries. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES In the U.S., we produce glass containers for malt beverages including beer and ready to drink low alcohol refreshers, food, tea, juice, liquor, wine and pharmaceuticals. We also produce glass containers for soft drinks, principally outside the U.S. We manufacture these products in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors. As a leader in glass container innovation, we are active in new product development. CUSTOMERS In most of the countries where we compete, we have the leading position in the glass container segment of the rigid packaging market (based on units sold). Our largest customers include many of the leading manufacturers and marketers of glass packaged products in the world. In the U.S., the majority of our customers for glass containers are brewers, food producers, distillers and wine vintners. Outside of the U.S., glass container customers also include soft drink bottlers. Our largest U.S. glass container customers include (in alphabetical order) Anheuser-Busch, Cadbury, Coors, Gerber, H.J. Heinz and Miller Brewing. Our largest international glass container customers include Diageo, Foster's, Heineken, Labatt, Lion Nathan and Molson. We are the sole glass container supplier to many of these "blue chip" customers. 54 We sell most of our glass container products directly to customers under annual or multi-year supply agreements. We also sell some of our products through distributors. Glass containers are typically scheduled for production in response to customers' orders for their quarterly requirements. MARKETS AND COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS The principal markets for our glass container products are in North America, South America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. We believe we are the low-cost producer in the glass container segment of the North American rigid packaging market, as well as the low-cost producer in most of the international glass container segments in which we compete. Much of this cost advantage is due to the proprietary equipment and process technology we use. Our machine development activities and systematic upgrading of production equipment in the 1980's and 1990's have given us low-cost leadership in the glass container segment in many of the countries in which we compete, a key strength to competing successfully in the rigid packaging market. We have the leading share of the glass container segment of the U.S. rigid packaging market based on units sold by domestic producers in the U.S., with our sales representing approximately 41% of that segment for the year ended December 31, 2001. Our principal glass container competitors in the U.S. are Saint-Gobain Containers Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, and Anchor Glass Container Corporation. In supplying glass containers outside of the U.S., we compete directly with Compagnie de Saint-Gobain in Italy and Brazil, Rexam plc and Ardagh plc in the U.K., Vetropak in the Czech Republic and Amcor Limited in Australia. In other locations in Europe, we compete indirectly with a variety of glass container firms including Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, BSN Glasspack, Vetropak and Rexam plc. Except as mentioned above, we do not compete with any large, multi-national glass container manufacturers in South America or the Asia Pacific region. In addition to competing with other large, well-established manufacturers in the glass container segment, we compete with manufacturers of other forms of rigid packaging, principally aluminum cans and plastic containers, on the basis of quality, price and service. The principal competitors producing metal containers are Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., Rexam plc, Ball Corporation and Silgan Holdings Inc. The principal competitors producing plastic containers are Consolidated Container Holdings, LLC, Graham Packaging Company, Plastipak Packaging, Inc. and Silgan Holdings Inc. We also compete with manufacturers of non-rigid packaging alternatives, including flexible pouches and aseptic cartons, in serving the packaging needs of juice customers. Our unit shipments of glass containers in countries outside of the U.S. have grown substantially from levels of the early 1990's. We have added to our international operations by acquiring glass container companies, many of which have leading positions in growing or established markets, increasing capacity at select foreign affiliates, and maintaining the global network of glass container companies that license our technology. In many developing countries, our international glass operations have benefited in the last ten years from increased consumer spending power, a trend toward the privatization of industry, a favorable climate for foreign investment, lowering of trade barriers and global expansion programs by multi-national consumer companies. Due to the weighting of labor as a production cost, glass containers have a significant cost advantage over plastic and metal containers in developing countries where labor wage rates are relatively low. 55 Our majority ownership positions in international glass affiliates are summarized below:

NORTH AMERICA. In addition to our glass container operations in the U.S., our affiliate in Canada is the sole manufacturer of glass containers in that country. SOUTH AMERICA. Our affiliates in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru are the sole manufacturers of glass containers in those countries. In both Brazil and Venezuela, we are the leading manufacturer of glass containers. In South America, there is a large infrastructure for returnable/refillable glass containers. However, with improving economic conditions in South America after the recessions of the late 1990's, our unit sales of non-returnable glass containers have grown in Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil. EUROPE. Our European glass container business has operations in eight countries and is one of the largest in Europe. In Italy, our wholly-owned affiliate, AVIR, is the leading manufacturer of glass containers and operates 13 glass container plants. AVIR accounted for approximately 49% of our total European glass container sales in 2001. United Glass, our affiliate in the U.K., is a leading manufacturer of glass containers for the U.K. spirits business. In Poland, we are the leading glass container manufacturer and currently operate two plants. Our affiliate in the Czech Republic, Avirunion, is the leading glass container manufacturer in that country and also ships a portion of its beer bottle production to Germany. In Hungary, we are the sole glass container manufacturer and serve the Hungarian food industry. In Finland and the Baltic country of Estonia, we are the only manufacturer of glass containers. We coordinate our production activities between Finland and Estonia in order to efficiently serve the Finnish, Baltic and Russian markets. In recent years, Western European brewers have been establishing beer production facilities in Central Europe and the Russian Republic. Because these new beer plants use high-speed filling lines, they require high quality glass containers in order to operate properly. We believe we are well-positioned to meet this growing demand. In Spain, we serve the market for wine bottles in the Barcelona area. ASIA PACIFIC. We have glass operations in four countries in the Asia Pacific region: Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and China. Our Asia Pacific affiliates are the leading manufacturers of glass 56 containers in most of the countries in which they compete. In Australia, we operate five glass container plants, including a plant focused on serving the needs of the rapidly growing Australian wine industry. In New Zealand, we are the sole glass container manufacturer. In Indonesia, our affiliate supplies the Indonesian market and exports glass containers for food and pharmaceutical products to Australian customers. In China, the glass container segments of the packaging market are regional and highly fragmented with a number of local competitors. We have three modern glass container plants in China manufacturing high-quality beer bottles to serve Foster's as well as Anheuser-Busch, which is now producing Budweiser-Registered Trademark- in and for the Chinese market. We continue to focus on serving the needs of leading multi-national consumer companies as they pursue international growth opportunities. We believe that we and our affiliates are often the glass container partner of choice for such multi-national consumer companies due to our leadership in glass technology and our status as a low-cost producer in most of the markets we serve. MANUFACTURING We believe we are the low-cost producer in the glass container segment of the North American rigid packaging market, as well as the low-cost producer in most of the international glass segments in which we compete. Much of this cost advantage is due to the proprietary equipment and process technology we use. We believe our glass forming machines, developed and refined by our engineering group, are significantly more efficient and productive than those used by our competitors. Our machine development activities and systematic upgrading of production equipment in the 1980's and 1990's have given us low-cost leadership in the glass container segment in most of the countries in which we compete, a key strength to competing successfully in the rigid packaging market. Over the last ten years, we have more than doubled our overall glass container labor and machine productivity in the U.S., as measured by output produced per man-hour. By applying our technology and worldwide "best practices," during this period we decreased the number of production employees required per glass-forming machine line in the U.S. by over 35%, and we increased the daily output of our glass-forming machines by approximately 40%. METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION Due to the significance of transportation costs and the importance of timely delivery, glass container manufacturing facilities are generally located close to customers. In the U.S., most of our glass container products are shipped by common carrier to customers within a 250-mile radius of a given production site. In addition, our glass container operations outside the U.S. export some products to customers beyond their national boundaries, which may include transportation by rail and ocean delivery in combination with common carriers. We also operate several machine and mold shops that manufacture high-productivity glass-forming machines, molds and related equipment. SUPPLIERS AND RAW MATERIALS The primary raw materials used in our glass container operations are sand, soda ash and limestone. Each of these materials, as well as the other raw materials we use to manufacture glass containers, have historically been available in adequate supply from multiple sources. For certain raw materials, however, there may be temporary shortages due to weather or other factors, including disruptions in supply caused by raw material transportation or production delays. GLASS RECYCLING We are an important contributor to the recycling effort in the U.S. and continue to melt substantial recycled glass tonnage in our glass furnaces. If sufficient high-quality recycled glass were available on a consistent basis, we have the technology to operate using 100% recycled glass. Using recycled glass in our manufacturing process reduces energy costs and prolongs the operating life of our glass melting furnaces. 57 FACILITIES We have glass container operations located in 19 countries. The following table lists the locations of our glass container plants and related facilities:

OI Group also has plastics packaging operations in South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Plastics packaging sales represented 34% of OI Group's consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 32% of those sales for the year ended December 31, 2000. MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTS The plastics packaging business utilizes two basic manufacturing processes: - Blow-Molded Plastics Packaging Blow-molding is a plastics manufacturing process where pre-heated plastic is captured inside a hollow mold and using pressurized air is blown, much like a balloon, into a container. After being cooled, the mold is opened and the plastic product is removed. In blow-molded plastics packaging, OI Group is a leading U.S. manufacturer of high density polyethylene (HDPE) containers. OI Group manufactures these containers for products for the food and beverage, household, personal care, health care and chemical and automotive fluid end-use categories. OI Group is also a leading worldwide manufacturer of PET blow-molded containers. Many of these PET containers are manufactured using multiple layers of plastic, with each layer having a different function. Some of these plastic layers have "barrier" properties, effectively blocking the escape of carbon dioxide out of, and the permeation of oxygen into, the packaged product thereby maintaining product quality and extending shelf life. Examples of products packaged in multi-layer PET containers include Heinz ketchup and Gatorade-Registered Trademark- sports drink. Major brewers, such as Anheuser-Busch, Coors and Miller Brewing, are now marketing beer packaged in OI Group's multi-layer PET beer bottles. - Injection-Molded Plastics Packaging Injection molding is a plastics manufacturing process where plastic resin in the form of pellets or powder is melted and then injected or otherwise forced under pressure into a mold. The mold is then cooled and the product is removed from the mold. OI Group develops and produces injection-molded plastic closures and closure systems, which typically incorporate functional features such as tamper evidence and child resistance or dispensing. Other products include trigger sprayers for household cleaning products, finger and lotion pumps for fragrances and cosmetics, as well as injection-molded containers for deodorant and toothpaste. The prescription product unit manufactures injection-molded plastic prescription containers. These products are sold primarily to drug wholesalers, major drug chains and mail order pharmacies. Containers for prescriptions include ovals, vials, ointment jars, dropper bottles and automation friendly prescription containers. CUSTOMERS OI Group's largest customers (in alphabetical order) for plastic containers and closures include Bristol-Myers Squibb, H.J. Heinz, Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo (Dole-Registered Trademark-, Gatorade-Registered Trademark-, Tropicana-Registered Trademark-), Procter & Gamble and Unilever. The largest customers for prescription containers include AmeriSourceBergen, Cardinal Health, Eckerd Drug, McKesson, Merck-Medco, Rite-Aid and Walgreen. OI Group sells most plastic containers, plastic closures and plastic prescription containers directly to customers under annual or multi-year supply agreements. These supply agreements typically allow a pass-through of resin price increases and decreases, except for the prescription business. OI Group also sells some of its products through distributors. 59 MARKETS AND COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS Major markets for plastics packaging include the food and beverage, household products, personal care products, health care products and chemical and automotive fluid industries. The plastics segment of the rigid packaging market is competitive and fragmented due to generally available technology, low costs of entry and customer emphasis on low package cost. A large number of competitors exist on both a national and regional basis. OI Group competes with other manufacturers in the plastic containers segment on the basis of quality, price, service and product design. The principal competitors producing plastic containers are Consolidated Container Holdings, LLC, Graham Packaging Company, Plastipak Packaging, Inc. and Silgan Holdings Inc. OI Group emphasizes total package supply (I.E., bottle and closure system), diversified market positions, proprietary technology and products, new package development and packaging innovation. The plastic closures segment is divided into various categories in which several suppliers compete for business on the basis of quality, price, service and product design. OI Group's approach has been to identify and serve areas of the plastics packaging segment where customers seek distinctive and functional packaging to differentiate their products among an array of choices offered to consumers. OI Group believes it is a leader in technology and development of custom products and has a leading market position in the U.S. for such products. OI Group believes its plastic containers and plastic closures businesses have a competitive advantage as a result of one of the shortest new product development cycles in the industry, enabling it to respond quickly to customer needs in the rapidly changing custom plastic containers and closures segments. OI Group's product innovations in plastics packaging include in-mold labeling for custom-molded bottles and multi-layer bottles containing post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. MANUFACTURING The exact type of blow-molding manufacturing process OI Group uses is dependent on the plastic product type and package requirements. These blow-molding processes include: various types of extrusion blow-molding for medium- and large-sized HDPE, low density polyethelene (LDPE), polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) containers; stretch blow-molding for medium-sized PET containers; injection blow-molding for small health care and personal care containers in various materials; two-stage PET blow-molding for high volume, high performance mono-layer, multi-layer and heat-set PET containers; and proprietary blow-molding for drain-back systems and other specialized applications. Injection-molding is used in the manufacture of plastic closures, trigger sprayers, deodorant canisters, ink cartridges and vials. Compression-molding, an advanced type of injection-molding, is used for high volume carbonated soft drink and other beverage closures that require tamper evidence. METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION In the U.S., most of OI Group's plastic containers, plastic closures and plastic prescription containers are shipped by common carrier. In addition, OI Group's plastics packaging operations outside the U.S. export some products to customers beyond their national boundaries, which may include transportation by rail and ocean delivery in combination with common carriers. SUPPLIERS AND RAW MATERIALS OI Group manufactures containers and closures using HDPE, LDPE, polypropylene, PVC, PET and various other plastic resins. OI Group also purchases large quantities of master batch colorants, corrugated materials and labels. In general, these raw materials are available in adequate supply from 60 multiple sources. However, for certain raw materials, there may be temporary shortages due to market conditions and other factors. RECYCLING Recycling content legislation, which has been enacted in several states, requires that a certain specified minimum percentage of recycled plastic be included in certain new plastic containers. OI Group has met such legislated standards in part due to its material and multi-layer process technology. OI Group's plastic containers are made with PCR plastic constituting somewhere between 25% and 100% of the material used to produce the container. In addition, its plastics plants also recycle virtually all of the internal scrap generated in the production process. FACILITIES OI Group has 38 plastics manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, as well as plastics packaging operations located in nine countries outside of the U.S. The following table lists the locations of the plastics packaging plants:

61 In addition, three plastics packaging plants are under construction: (1) a compression molding facility in Hattiesburg, Mississippi for beverage and juice closures; (2) a facility for the manufacture and assembly of plastic ink cartridges in Singapore; and (3) a plastic container facility in Iowa City, Iowa. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE LICENSE AGREEMENTS We license our proprietary glass container technology to 24 companies in 24 countries. In plastics packaging, OI Group has technical assistance agreements with 24 companies in 14 countries. These agreements cover areas ranging from manufacturing and engineering assistance, to support in functions such as marketing, sales and administration. The worldwide licensee network provides a stream of revenue to support OI Group's development activities and gives it the opportunity to participate in the rigid packaging market in countries where it does not already have a direct presence. In addition, OI Group's technical agreements enable it to apply "best practices" developed by its worldwide licensee network. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, OI Group earned $24.6 million and $25.3 million, respectively, in royalties and net technical assistance revenue. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development constitutes an important part of OI Group's activities. Research and development expenditures were $41.2 million, $46.7 million and $37.5 million for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition, engineering expenditures were $31.4 million, $31.3 million and $42.2 million for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. OI Group's research, development and engineering activities include new products, manufacturing process control, automatic inspection and further automation. ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION OI Group's worldwide operations, in common with those of the industry generally, are subject to extensive laws, ordinances, regulations and other legal requirements relating to environmental protection, including legal requirements governing investigation and clean-up of contaminated properties as well as water discharges, air emissions, waste management and workplace health and safety. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment for environmental control activities were not material during 2001. A number of governmental authorities, both in the U.S. and abroad, have enacted, or are considering, legal requirements that would mandate certain rates of recycling, the use of recycled materials and/or limitations on certain kinds of packaging materials such as plastics. OI Group believes that governmental authorities in both the U.S. and abroad will continue to enact and develop such legal requirements. In the U.S., sales of non-refillable glass beverage bottles and other convenience packages are affected by mandatory deposit laws and other types of restrictive legislation. As of January 1, 2002, there were nine states with mandatory deposit laws in effect. A number of states and local governments have enacted or are considering legislation to promote curbside recycling and recycled content legislation as alternatives to mandatory deposit laws. Although such legislation is not uniformly developed, OI Group believes that states and local governments will continue to enact and develop curbside recycling and recycling content legislation. Plastic containers have also been the subject of legislation in various states, which requires that a certain specified minimum percentage of recycled plastic be included in new plastic products. OI Group utilizes recycled plastic resin in its manufacturing processes. Although OI Group is unable to predict what environmental legal requirements may be adopted in the future, it has not made, and does not anticipate making, material expenditures with respect to 62 environmental protection. However, the compliance costs associated with environmental legal requirements may result in future additional costs to operations. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OI Group has a large number of patents which relate to a wide variety of products and processes, has a substantial number of patent applications pending, and is licensed under several patents of others. While in the aggregate OI Group's patents are of material importance to its businesses, OI Group does not consider that any patent or group of patents relating to a particular product or process is of material importance when judged from the standpoint of any segment or its businesses as a whole. SEASONALITY Sales of particular glass container and plastics packaging products such as beer and food containers are seasonal. Shipments in the U.S. and Europe are typically greater in the second and third quarters of the year, while shipments in South America and the Asia Pacific region are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the year. EMPLOYEES OI Group employed approximately 29,700 persons at December 31, 2001. A majority of OI Group's hourly workers are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The principal collective bargaining agreement, which at December 31, 2001, covered approximately 90% of OI Group's union affiliated employees in the U.S., was extended and ratified in March 2002 and will expire on April 1, 2005. OI Group considers its employee relations to be good. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Certain litigation is pending against OI Group, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of OI Group and in others presenting allegations that are nonroutine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief. The ultimate legal and financial liability of OI Group in respect to this pending litigation cannot be estimated with certainty. However, OI Group believes, based on its examination and review of such matters and experience to date, that such ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition. For a discussion of certain litigation pending against OI Inc., see "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--Cash Used to Satisfy Other Obligations--A portion of our cash flow will be used to make payments to OI Inc. to satisfy certain debt, preferred stock and litigation-related obligations, including settlement of asbestos-related claims." 63 DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS THE SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT As of December 31, 2001, the secured credit agreement consisted of an aggregate of $4.05 billion in financing under (1) a $1.05 billion term loan (the "Term Facility") extended to Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. and (2) a $3.0 billion revolving loan facility (including the subfacilities described below, the "Revolving Facility") available to OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. and Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. (collectively, with OI General FTS Inc., the "Domestic Borrowers"). In January 2002, the term loan balance was reduced by $980.0 million by the application of the net proceeds of the senior secured notes. OI General FTS Inc. has repaid in full its term loan under the secured credit agreement but remains jointly and severally liable for the Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. term loan and all revolving loans. Each Domestic Borrower is jointly and severally liable for loans made to any borrower under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility also includes: - a $300.0 million subfacility (the "U.K. Subfacility") available to certain of OI Group's U.K. subsidiaries (the "U.K. Borrowers"); - a $1.1 billion subfacility (the "Australian Subfacility") available to certain of OI Group's Australian subsidiaries (the "Australian Borrowers"); and - a $10.0 million subfacility (the "Italian Subfacility") available to certain of OI Group's Italian subsidiaries (the "Italian Borrowers"). Each U.K. Borrower is jointly and severally liable for the obligations of each other U.K. Borrower. Each Australian Borrower is jointly and severally liable for the obligations of each other Australian Borrower. Each Italian Borrower is jointly and severally liable for the obligations of each other Italian Borrower. In addition, the Revolving Facility includes a $500.0 million letter of credit subfacility available to the Domestic Borrowers, the U.K. Borrowers and the Australian Borrowers and certain overdraft facilities. The Term Facility and the Revolving Facility expire on March 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2001, loans of $1.05 billion were outstanding under the Term Facility, loans of $2.41 billion were outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $98.2 million of issued but undrawn letters of credit was outstanding. In January 2002, the term loan balance was reduced by $980.0 million by the application of the net proceeds of the senior secured notes. Loans under the Term Facility bear interest, generally at our option, at (i) the higher of (A) the prime rate or (B) 50 basis points over an averaged federal funds rate, PLUS in either case 150 basis points per annum or (ii) a reserve-adjusted Eurodollar rate PLUS 250 basis points per annum. Loans under the Revolving Facility bear interest, generally at the applicable borrower's option, at: - the higher of (A) the prime rate or (B) 50 basis points over an averaged federal funds rate, PLUS in either case 75 basis points, if the applicable leverage ratio then in effect under the secured credit agreement is less than 3.5:1, or 100 basis points, if the applicable leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.5:1; or - a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate PLUS 175 basis points, if the applicable leverage ratio then in effect under the secured credit agreement is less than 3.5:1, or 200 basis points, if the applicable leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.5:1. In the event the loans under the Term Facility have not been repaid in full on or prior to March 31, 2003, the interest rate margins on loans under the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility increase by 50 basis points until repayment in full of the term loans under the secured credit agreement. 64 Each Domestic Borrower has guaranteed the obligations of each borrower under the secured credit agreement (including the offshore subfacilities). In addition, the secured credit agreement (including the offshore subfacilities) is guaranteed by OI Group and substantially all other direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of OI Group. The U.K. Borrowers have guaranteed the obligations of the Australian Borrowers and the Italian Borrowers under the secured credit agreement. In addition, certain wholly-owned U.K. subsidiaries of the U.K. Borrowers (the "U.K. Guarantors") have guaranteed the obligations of the U.K. Borrowers under the U.K. Subfacility; and certain wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries of the Australian Borrowers (the "Australian Guarantors") have guaranteed the obligations of the Australian Borrowers under the Australian Subfacility. The secured credit agreement and the domestic guaranties of the secured credit agreement, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, are secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of the assets of OI Group and substantially all of the assets of substantially all present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of OI Group, including the stock and intercompany debt of such subsidiaries. In addition, the U.K. Subfacility and the guaranties of the U.K. Borrowers and U.K. Guarantors are secured by substantially all of the assets of the U.K. Borrowers and U.K. Guarantors, and the Australian Subfacility and the guaranties of the Australian Borrowers and the Australian Guarantors are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Australian Borrowers and the Australian Guarantors. Real property with an acquisition cost or insurable value of less than $25.0 million has generally been excluded. The secured credit agreement also requires under certain circumstances certain additional existing and future subsidiaries to guaranty the secured credit agreement and grant security interests in their assets to secure the secured credit agreement. The secured credit agreement and related collateral documents provide that, subject to certain conditions, the domestic guaranties and liens supporting the secured credit agreement may be shared from time to time with specified types of other obligations owing to lenders or affiliates of lenders party to the secured credit agreement incurred or guaranteed by OI Group or its subsidiaries as lending facilities and interest rate and currency agreements and certain other indebtedness permitted by the secured credit agreement, including the notes. In the event the rating for OI Inc.'s and OI Group's long term unsecured debt from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. is BBB- and Baa3 or higher, respectively, and acknowledged by the collateral agent, the security interests in the collateral securing the secured credit agreement will terminate, provided that no default exists and all of OI Inc.'s outstanding public debt securities, the notes and other institutional debt shall be and remain unsecured. The Domestic Borrowers may assign or transfer their rights and obligations under the secured credit agreement to OI Inc. and all of OI Inc.'s subsidiaries will be concurrently released from their guarantees upon the consent of the requisite percentage of lenders under the secured credit agreement if all loans under the Term Facility have been repaid, OI Inc. has achieved, and immediately following such assumption maintains, specified investment grade ratings and all obligations of subsidiaries of OI Inc. in respect of OI Inc.'s outstanding public debt securities, the notes and certain other debt have been released and assumed by OI Inc. Loans and commitments under the secured credit agreement are subject to mandatory prepayment and reduction under certain circumstances from proceeds of permitted asset sales (including sales of receivables), the sale or issuance of permitted debt securities, the sale or issuance of certain equity securities, and from insurance and condemnation proceeds, in each case received by OI Group and/or OI Group's subsidiaries (with certain exceptions for non-U.S. subsidiaries), and in some cases by OI Inc. Voluntary prepayment of any of the loans under the secured credit agreement is permitted in whole or in part with prior notice and without premium or penalty (other than funding losses), subject to limitations as to minimum amounts. The secured credit agreement contains covenants and provisions that, among other things, restrict the ability of OI Group and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, enter into 65 contingent obligations, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, loans or advances, make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the business conducted by OI Group and its subsidiaries, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. In addition, the secured credit agreement contains financial covenants that require OI Group and its subsidiaries to maintain, based upon the financial statements of OI Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, specified financial ratios and tests, including minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratios, minimum net worth and specified capital expenditure tests. Events of default under the secured credit agreement include, among other matters: (1) any failure to pay principal when due or to reimburse letters of credit when reimbursement is due, or to pay interest, fees or other amounts within five days after the date due; (2) any failure by OI Inc. or any of its subsidiaries to pay when due principal or interest on certain indebtedness that gives rise to a right of acceleration, and other breaches or defaults by OI Inc. or its subsidiaries under such indebtedness similarly giving rise to acceleration rights; (3) the breach by OI Group or certain of its subsidiaries of certain covenants, representations or warranties in the secured credit agreement; (4) any other default by OI Group or certain subsidiaries under the secured credit agreement that has not been remedied or waived within 30 days of the requisite notice; (5) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of OI Inc., OI Group, any borrower or any material subsidiary, and certain material judgments entered against the same; (6) a change of control of OI Inc., OI Group or the Company as defined in the secured credit agreement; (7) certain ERISA and pension-related matters and liabilities; (8) material impairment of the guarantees or the collateral security; and (9) certain changes in the activities of OI Inc. INDEBTEDNESS OF OI INC. OI Inc. has issued the following outstanding public debt securities: $300 million of 7.85% Senior Notes due 2004 $350 million of 7.15% Senior Notes due 2005 $300 million of 8.10% Senior Notes due 2007 $250 million of 7.35% Senior Notes due 2008 $250 million of 7.50% Senior Debentures due 2010 $250 million of 7.80% Senior Debentures due 2018 OI Inc.'s obligations under these outstanding public debt securities are guaranteed on a subordinated basis by OI Group and OI Packaging. The guarantees and the outstanding public debt securities are secured by a second priority lien on the intercompany debt and capital stock owned by OI Group and OI Packaging. The guarantees by OI Group and OI Packaging are subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations of these guarantors under the secured credit agreement, obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as lending facilities as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement and obligations under interest rate and currency agreements with lenders or their affiliates as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement. The guarantees will also be subordinated to the guarantees by OI Group and OI Packaging of our obligations under the notes. Each of OI Group and OI Packaging will be released and relieved of any obligations under its guarantee of OI Inc.'s outstanding public debt securities (1) in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of its capital stock, to a person that is not a subsidiary of OI Inc., or (2) at the discretion of OI Inc., in the event that the guarantor is no longer a guarantor of: (A) the obligations under the secured credit agreement; (B) obligations under certain interest rate and currency agreements with lenders or their affiliates as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement; 66 and (C) obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as lending facilities as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement. The security interests are second in priority to the liens granted to the senior secured parties under the pledge agreement, which currently consist of the collateral agent for the benefit of the lenders under the secured credit agreement, lenders or their affiliates party to certain interest rate and currency agreements as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement and lenders and their affiliates under lending facilities as permitted by the terms of the secured credit agreement, and which will include the holders of the notes. The security interests securing OI Inc.'s outstanding public debt securities will terminate and the collateral will be released upon the earlier of: - payment in full of all obligations under the secured credit agreement and the cancellation or termination of the secured credit agreement and related letters of credit and the written election of OI Group and OI Packaging; - the first date on which the pledged collateral no longer secures any obligations under the secured credit agreement and upon the written election of OI Group and OI Packaging; and - the achievement of "investment grade" debt ratings for OI Inc.'s and OI Group's long term unsecured debt (in the case of Moody's Investors Service, Inc., a rating of Baa3 or higher, and, in the case of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a rating of BBB- or higher). In addition, lenders under the secured credit agreement have the ability to direct the collateral agent to release the collateral upon the approval of the requisite percentage of lenders under the secured credit agreement. 67 DESCRIPTION OF NOTES You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "--Certain Definitions." In this description, the word "Company" refers only to Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. and not to any of its Subsidiaries, the term "OI Packaging" refers to Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc., the Company's direct parent, and not to any of its Subsidiaries and the term "OI Group" refers to Owens-Illinois Group, Inc., the Company's indirect parent, and not to any of its Subsidiaries. OI Group and certain of the Subsidiaries of OI Group guarantee the notes and therefore are subject to many of the provisions contained in this Description of Notes. The Company issued the private notes, and will issue the exchange notes under an Indenture (the "Indenture") among itself, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The terms of the notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture and the Collateral Documents (as defined below). It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture and the Collateral Documents because they, and not this description, define your rights as Holders of the notes. Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under "--Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES THE NOTES The notes: - are senior obligations of the Company secured on the basis described below; - are PARI PASSU in right of payment with existing, and any future, senior Indebtedness of the Company; and - are guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors. THE GUARANTEES The notes are guaranteed by OI Group and all Domestic Subsidiaries of OI Group that guarantee the Credit Agreement and will be guaranteed by any future Domestic Subsidiaries of OI Group that guarantee the Credit Agreement. As of the date of the Indenture, all of OI Group's Subsidiaries, other than its Foreign Subsidiaries, were "Domestic Subsidiaries." In the future, OI Group may have additional Subsidiaries which are not Domestic Subsidiaries and may also have additional Domestic Subsidiaries which do not guarantee the notes. Each Guarantee of the notes: - is a senior obligation of the Guarantor secured on the basis described below; and - is PARI PASSU in right of payment with existing, and any future, senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor. As of the date of the Indenture, all of OI Group's Subsidiaries were "Restricted Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described below under the subheading "--Certain Covenants--Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries," OI Group will be permitted to designate certain of its subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." The Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture and will not guarantee the notes. 68 PRINCIPAL, MATURITY AND INTEREST The Indenture does not limit the maximum aggregate principal amount of notes that the Company may issue thereunder. The Company will issue an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion of notes in this offering. The Company may issue additional notes (the "additional notes") from time to time after this offering. The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the Indenture would be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. In addition to the notes and any additional notes, the Company may issue additional series of debt securities under the Indenture. The terms of any additional debt securities issued under the Indenture will be established pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company and set forth or determined in the manner provided in an officer's certificate or by a supplemental indenture. Any offering of additional notes or additional debt securities under the Indenture is subject to the covenant described below under the caption "--Certain Covenants--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The Company will issue notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The notes will mature on February 15, 2009. Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 8 7/8% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2002. The Company will make each interest payment to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding February 1, and August 1. Interest on the exchange notes will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid, or, if no interest was paid on the private notes, from the date of issuance of the private notes, which was January 24, 2002. Holders whose private notes are accepted for exchange will be deemed to have waived the right to receive any interest accrued on the private notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. METHODS OF RECEIVING PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay all principal, interest and premium and liquidated damages, if any, on that Holder's notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR FOR THE NOTES The Trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE A Holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the Indenture. The registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed. The registered Holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 69 GUARANTEES The Guarantors jointly and severally guarantee the due and punctual payment of principal and of interest on the notes and all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture. The Guarantees of the notes (including the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes) are senior obligations of such Guarantors and rank PARI PASSU in right of payment with all existing and future senior obligations of the Guarantors and rank senior to all subordinated obligations of such Guarantors. The Guarantees are secured to the extent set forth below under "--Collateral." The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent that Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--Fraudulent Transfer--Federal and state laws permit a court to void the notes or the guarantees under certain circumstances." Until such time as all Guarantees of the notes by the Guarantors have been released in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, OI Group will cause each Domestic Subsidiary that guarantees the Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Indenture and thereby guarantee the notes on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. Upon the release of a Guarantee by a Domestic Subsidiary under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee of such Domestic Subsidiary under the Indenture will be released and discharged at such time. In the event any such Domestic Subsidiary thereafter guarantees obligations under the Credit Agreement (or such released Guarantee under the Credit Agreement is reinstated or renewed), then such Domestic Subsidiary will guarantee the notes on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless: (1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Event of Default exists under the Indenture; and (2) either: (a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture, its Guarantee, the Collateral Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or (b) such sale or other disposition complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture, including the application of the Net Proceeds therefrom. The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group, if the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture; (2) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group, if the sale of all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture; or 70 (3) if OI Group properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Guarantees will also be released in the circumstances described below under the caption "--Certain Covenants--Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets." The Collateral Documents provide that, upon the release of a Guarantee under the Indenture, the security interests in the assets of that Guarantor securing the notes and Guarantees of the notes will be released simultaneously. RANKING The notes are senior obligations of the Company and rank PARI PASSU in right of payment with all existing and future senior obligations of the Company (including Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement) and rank senior in right of payment to all subordinated obligations of the Company. The notes are secured to the extent set forth below under "--Collateral" and guaranteed by the Guarantors to the extent set forth above under "--Guarantees." The Guarantees of the notes rank equal in right of payment to the Guarantees of OI Group and the other Guarantors of their existing and future senior obligations, including their obligations under the Credit Agreement, and senior in right of payment to all subordinated obligations of the Guarantors, including the guarantees of OI Group and OI Packaging of the obligations of OI Group's parent, OI Inc., related to $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities. The notes are effectively subordinated to obligations under the Credit Agreement and the OI Inc. Senior Notes to the extent such obligations are secured by collateral that does not secure the notes. The notes may also be effectively subordinated to certain Indebtedness incurred to refinance borrowings under the Credit Agreement to the extent that such Indebtedness is secured by collateral that does not secure the notes. As of and for year ended December 31, 2001, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries represented approximately: - 43% of OI Group's net sales; - 45% of OI Group's Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA; and - 42% of OI Group's consolidated assets. The liabilities of the non-guarantor Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis were approximately $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the offering of the private notes and the application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom, OI Group had approximately $5.4 billion of total consolidated indebtedness, which includes approximately $2.5 billion of secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. COLLATERAL COLLATERAL SECURING THE NOTES. The notes and the Guarantees of the notes are secured, subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, on a PARI PASSU basis with the Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement, related documents and liabilities owing to lenders or affiliates of lenders party to the Credit Agreement and in connection with interest rate and currency agreements and certain other Indebtedness permitted by the Credit Agreement. The notes and Guarantees of the notes are secured by: - a security interest in substantially all the assets (other than Intercompany Indebtedness and Capital Stock) of OI Group and of substantially all the Domestic Subsidiaries of OI Group; and 71 - a pledge by OI Group of the Capital Stock of all its direct Subsidiaries and Intercompany Indebtedness owing to OI Group by such direct Subsidiaries (other than the Capital Stock of OI General FTS Inc. ("OI General FTS") owned by OI Group and Intercompany Indebtedness owing to OI Group by OI General FTS) and a pledge by OI Packaging of the Capital Stock of the Company and Intercompany Indebtedness owing to OI Packaging by the Company (the "Additional Collateral"). NEGATIVE PLEDGE. Except as permitted and contemplated by, and subject to the terms of, the Credit Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, OI Group will not further pledge the Capital Stock of OI General FTS or the Intercompany Indebtedness of OI General FTS owing to OI Group, as security or otherwise, unless the notes and the Guarantees of the notes are secured on a PARI PASSU basis with the applicable Indebtedness by this collateral. ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL SECURES THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. In addition to the Collateral securing the obligations under the notes and the Guarantees of the notes, the obligations of the Credit Agreement Domestic Borrowers and the domestic guarantors under the Credit Agreement are further secured by: - a pledge by OI Group of the Capital Stock of OI General FTS and Intercompany Indebtedness owing to OI Group by OI General FTS; - a pledge of the Capital Stock of substantially all of the Domestic Subsidiaries of OI General FTS, OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. and the Company; - a pledge of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed to OI General FTS, OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. and the Company and substantially all of their Domestic Subsidiaries; and - a pledge of 65% of the stock of the first-tier Foreign Subsidiaries. In addition to being secured by the above, the offshore subfacilities and related Guarantees under the Credit Agreement are also secured by the assets (including stock and intercompany debt) of certain wholly-owned U.K. and Australian Subsidiaries and by the remaining 35% of the stock of the first-tier Foreign Subsidiaries. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--Notes Effectively Subordinated to Certain Secured Credit Agreement Obligations and Obligations of OI Inc.--The notes are effectively subordinated to the obligations under the secured credit agreement, certain obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as permitted under the secured credit agreement and obligations related to OI Inc.'s $1.7 billion outstanding public debt securities to the extent these obligations are secured by collateral that does not secure the notes." SUFFICIENCY OF COLLATERAL. The fair market value of the Collateral is subject to fluctuations based on factors that include, among others, the condition of the packaging products industry, the ability to sell the Collateral in an orderly sale, the condition of the international, national and local economies, the availability of buyers and similar factors. In the event of foreclosure on the collateral, the proceeds from the sale of the collateral, including the Collateral securing the notes and the Guarantees of the notes, may not be sufficient to satisfy in full the Company's obligations under both the Notes and the Credit Agreement and any senior, secured indebtedness ranking PARI PASSU with the notes. The amount to be received upon such a sale would be dependent on numerous factors, including but not limited to the timing and the manner of the sale. In addition, the book value of the Collateral should not be relied on as a measure of realizable value for such assets. By its nature, portions of the Collateral may be illiquid and may have no readily ascertainable market value. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Collateral can be sold in a short period of time in an orderly manner. A significant portion of the Collateral includes assets that may only be usable, and thus retain value, as part of the existing operating businesses of OI Group and its Subsidiaries. Accordingly, any such sale of the Collateral separate from the sale of certain of OI Group's and its Subsidiaries' operating businesses may not be feasible or of significant value. To the extent that third parties enjoy Liens permitted by the Indenture 72 such third parties may have rights and remedies with respect to the assets or property subject to such Liens that, if exercised, could adversely affect the value of the Collateral. In addition, in the event of a bankruptcy, the ability of the Holders to realize upon any of the Collateral may be subject to certain bankruptcy law limitations. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--Notes Effectively Subordinated to Certain Secured Credit Agreement Obligations and Obligations of OI Inc.--The notes are effectively subordinated to the obligations under the secured credit agreement, certain obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as permitted under the secured credit agreement and obligations related to OI Inc.'s $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities to the extent these obligations are secured by collateral that does not secure the notes." The Company has the ability to issue additional notes as part of the same series of these notes or in one or more different series, all of which may be secured with the notes by the Collateral. OI Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries can increase their Indebtedness but there can be no assurance that there will be a proportionate increase in the value of the Collateral as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes. CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY LIMITATIONS The right of the Collateral Agent to repossess and dispose of the Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default would be significantly impaired by applicable bankruptcy law in the event that a bankruptcy case were to be commenced by or against the Company, OI Group, or any of the Guarantors prior to the Collateral Agent having repossessed and disposed of the Collateral. Upon the commencement of a case for relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), a secured creditor such as the Collateral Agent is prohibited from repossessing its security from a debtor in a bankruptcy case, or from disposing of security repossessed from the debtor, without bankruptcy court approval. Moreover, the Bankruptcy Code permits the debtor to continue to retain and use Collateral even though the debtor is in default under the applicable debt instruments PROVIDED that the secured creditor is given adequate protection. The meaning of the term "adequate protection" may vary according to circumstances, but it is intended in general to protect the value of the secured creditor's interest in the Collateral and may include cash payments or the granting of additional security, if and at such times as the court in its discretion determines, for any diminution in the value of the Collateral as a result of the stay or repossession or disposition or any use of the Collateral by the debtor during the pendency of the bankruptcy case. A bankruptcy court may determine that a secured creditor may not require compensation for a diminution in the value of the Collateral if the value of the Collateral exceeds the debt it secures. In view of the broad equitable powers of a bankruptcy court, it is impossible to predict how long payments under the notes could be delayed following commencement of a bankruptcy case, whether or when the Collateral Agent could repossess or dispose of the Collateral, the value of the Collateral at the time of the bankruptcy petition or whether or to what extent Holders of the notes would be compensated for any delay in payment or loss of value of the Collateral through the requirement of "adequate protection." Any disposition of the Collateral during a bankruptcy case would also require permission from the bankruptcy court. Furthermore, in the event a bankruptcy court determines the value of the Collateral is not sufficient to repay all amounts due on the notes, the Holders of the notes would hold secured claims to the extent of the value of the Collateral to which the Holders of the notes are entitled, and unsecured claims with respect to such shortfall. The Bankruptcy Code only permits the payment and/or accrual of post-petition interest, costs and attorney's fees to a secured creditor during a debtor's bankruptcy case to the extent the value of the Collateral is determined by the bankruptcy court to exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the obligations secured by the Collateral. 73 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION Except as described below, the notes are not redeemable at the Company's option prior to February 15, 2006. After February 15, 2006, the Company may redeem all or a part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, thereon, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 15, 2006 of the years indicated below:
YEAR PERCENTAGE - ---- ---------- 2006........................................................ 104.438% 2007........................................................ 102.219% 2008 and thereafter......................................... 100.000%
At any time prior to February 15, 2005, the Company may redeem on any one or more occasions up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 108.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by OI Inc. to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the Company or used to purchase from the Company Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company; PROVIDED that: (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding notes held by OI Inc. and its Subsidiaries); and (2) the redemption must occur within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. In addition, at any time prior to February 15, 2006, the notes may also be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice (but in no event more than 90 days after the occurrence of such Change of Control or transfer event) mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the notes on the relevant interest payment date). "APPLICABLE PREMIUM" means, with respect to any note on any redemption date, the greater of: (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such note; or (2) the excess of: (a) the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of such note at February 15, 2006 (such redemption price being set forth in the table above) plus (2) all required interest payments due on such note through February 15, 2006, (including accrued but unpaid interest) computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate on such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the principal amount of such note. "TREASURY RATE" means, as of any redemption date, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to the redemption date (or, if such statistical release is no longer published, any 74 publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to February 15, 2006; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the period from the redemption date to February 15, 2006 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. MANDATORY REDEMPTION The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes. REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS CHANGE OF CONTROL If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the notes as described under "Optional Redemption," each Holder of notes has the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder's notes pursuant to a change of control offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture (a "Change of Control Offer"). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, thereon, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the date specified in such notice (the "Change of Control Payment Date"), which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such conflict. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any; PROVIDED that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. The Credit Agreement currently prohibits the Company from voluntarily purchasing any notes, and also provides that certain change of control events with respect to OI Inc., OI Group and the Company 75 would constitute a default under that agreement. In the event a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Company is prohibited from purchasing notes, the Company could seek consent to purchase the notes or could attempt to refinance its borrowings under the Credit Agreement. If the Company does not obtain such a consent or repay such borrowings, the Company will remain prohibited from purchasing Notes. In such case, the Company's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture which would, in turn, constitute a default under the Credit Agreement. The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. ASSET SALES OI Group will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: (1) OI Group (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; (2) such Fair Market Value is determined in good faith by OI Group and a certification to that effect is set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and (3) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: (a) any liabilities (as shown on OI Group's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet) of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Guarantee of the notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets which assumption releases OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by OI Group or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 180 days by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received in that conversion); and (c) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 5.0% of Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value); PROVIDED, that the 75% limitation referred to in clause (3) above will not apply to any Asset Sale in which the cash portion of such consideration received therefore on an after-tax basis, determined in 76 accordance with clause (3) above, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax net proceeds would have been had such transaction complied with such 75% limitation. Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds at its option: (1) to repay senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor and, if the senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, if the terms of such revolving credit Indebtedness would require such a commitment reduction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary may use the Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale to repay senior Indebtedness of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group; (2) to make payments required to be made with respect to the outstanding OI Inc. Senior Notes; (3) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, a Permitted Business; (4) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business; (5) to acquire other long-term assets in or that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or (6) to make an Investment in any one or more businesses (PROVIDED that such Investment in any business may be in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock so long as it results in OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group, as the case may be, owning a majority of the Capital Stock of such business), properties or assets that replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such business, properties and assets of OI Group or a Guarantor that are the subject of an Asset Sale are invested in one or more businesses, properties or assets that constitute or are owned or will be owned by a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Asset Sale by the Company or any Guarantor, such Net Proceeds may only be applied pursuant to items (1) or (6) above and, to the extent such Net Proceeds are applied to, or with respect to, the Company, a Guarantor or a Person or a Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor, items (3), (4) or (5) above. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, OI Group or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company will make an offer (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all Holders of notes and all Holders of other Indebtedness that is PARI PASSU with the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 77 The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sales provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such conflict. The agreements governing OI Group's Indebtedness or the Company's other Indebtedness contain prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute a Change of Control or an Asset Sale. In addition, the exercise by the Holders of notes of their right to require the Company to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control or Asset Sale itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on the Company or OI Group. Finally, the Company's ability to pay cash to the Holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by the Company's or OI Group's then existing financial resources. SELECTION AND NOTICE If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select notes for redemption as follows: (1) if the notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the notes are listed; or (2) if the notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. No notes of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of them called for redemption. CERTAIN COVENANTS FALL-AWAY EVENT If at any time the notes have achieved the Investment Grade Ratings, OI Group and the Restricted Subsidiaries of OI Group will thereafter no longer be subject to the covenants under "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Change of Control" and "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Asset Sales" or the following provisions of the Indenture under the heading "--Certain Covenants" (even if the notes subsequently cease to have the Investment Grade Ratings): "--Restricted Payments," "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," "--Liens," "--Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries," "--Transactions with Affiliates," "--Additional Guarantees/Pledges," and 78 "--Payments for Consent" (collectively, the "Extinguished Covenants"), PROVIDED that if upon the receipt by the notes of the Investment Grade Ratings, a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, the Company will continue to be subject to the Extinguished Covenants until such time as no Default or Event of Default is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time OI Group and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer subject to the Extinguished Covenants, neither OI Group nor any of its Domestic Subsidiaries will create, incur, or permit to exist, any Lien on any of their respective assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure any Indebtedness of either of OI Group or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, without effectively providing that the notes shall be equally and ratably secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Lien, except: (i) Liens on cash and Cash Equivalents securing obligations in respect of letters of credit in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; (ii) Liens existing on the Issue Date; (iii) Liens granted after the Issue Date on any assets of OI Group or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries securing Indebtedness of OI Group or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries created in favor of the Holders of the notes; (iv) Liens securing Indebtedness which is incurred to extend, renew or refinance Indebtedness which is secured by Liens permitted to be incurred under the Indenture; PROVIDED that such Liens do not extend to or cover any assets of OI Group or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries other than the assets securing the Indebtedness being extended, renewed or refinanced and that the principal or commitment amount of such Indebtedness does not exceed the principal or commitment amount of the Indebtedness being extended, renewed or refinanced at the time of such extension, renewal or refinancing, or at the time the Lien was issued, created or assumed or otherwise permitted; (v) Investment Grade Permitted Liens; or (vi) Liens created in substitution of or as replacement for any Liens permitted by the preceding clauses (i) through (v) or this clause (vi), PROVIDED that, based on a good faith determination of an officer of the Company, the assets encumbered under any such substitute or replacement Lien is substantially similar in value to the assets encumbered by the otherwise permitted Lien which is being replaced. Upon the assignment of the Company's obligations under the Indenture to OI Inc. as described in the last paragraph of the covenant described below under the caption "--Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets," the limitations described in this paragraph will apply to Liens securing Indebtedness of OI Inc. and its Domestic Subsidiaries in lieu of Liens securing Indebtedness of OI Group and its Domestic Subsidiaries. RESTRICTED PAYMENTS OI Group will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on account of OI Group's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of OI Group's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiaries); PROVIDED that the foregoing will not limit or preclude: (a) the declaration or payment of dividends or distributions to OI Group, the Company or any Guarantor; (b) the declaration or payment of dividends or distributions to holders of Equity Interests of a Guarantor (other than OI Group or a Subsidiary of OI Group) on a pro rata basis with all other holders; or (c) the declaration or payment of dividends or distributions by non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries to the holders of their Equity Interests on a pro rata basis; 79 (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) any Equity Interests of OI Group or any direct or indirect parent of OI Group; (3) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the notes or the Guarantees of the notes, except for (a) payments of or related to Intercompany Indebtedness (other than Intercompany Indebtedness owing to OI Inc. by OI Group), (b) a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof (other than Intercompany Indebtedness owing to OI Inc. by OI Group) or (c) the purchase, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary by a Foreign Subsidiary; or (4) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and (2) OI Group would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described below under the caption "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock"; and (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by OI Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of the Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (6) and (7) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of: (a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of OI Group for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the date of the Indenture to the end of OI Group's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), PLUS (b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the Fair Market Value of marketable securities received by OI Group since the date of the Indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of OI Group (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of OI Group that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of OI Group); PLUS (c) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the date of the Indenture is sold or otherwise liquidated, the cash plus the Fair Market Value of any marketable securities received upon the sale or liquidation of such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any); PLUS (d) $15.0 million. So long as (solely with respect to clauses (2), (3), (5) and (7) below) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the preceding provisions will not prohibit: (1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture; 80 (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any Indebtedness of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group or of any Equity Interests of OI Group in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of OI Group) of, Equity Interests of OI Group (other than Disqualified Stock); PROVIDED that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from clause (3)(b) of the preceding paragraph; (3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of the OI Inc. Senior Notes; (4) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of subordinated Indebtedness of OI Group (other than the OI Inc. Senior Notes) or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; (5) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement (or dividends or distributions to OI Inc. or payments of Intercompany Indebtedness, in each case, to finance such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition) for value of any Equity Interests of OI Inc., OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group held by any member of OI Inc.'s, OI Group's or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group's management; PROVIDED that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed $5.0 million in any twelve-month period; (6) any OI Inc. Ordinary Course Payment; and (7) dividends or distributions to OI Inc. or payments of Intercompany Indebtedness to allow OI Inc. to pay cash dividends on any shares of preferred stock of OI Inc. outstanding on the date of the Indenture, plus dividends on any subsequently issued shares of preferred stock of OI Inc. in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million in any twelve-month period. The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued to or by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant shall be determined in good faith by OI Group. INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK OI Group will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and OI Group will not issue any Disqualified Stock and OI Group will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that OI Group and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and may issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for OI Group's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"): (1) the incurrence by OI Group or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (and the incurrence of Guarantees thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) 81 not to exceed $4.5 billion (of which not more than $1.41 billion of such Indebtedness shall be incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors); (2) the incurrence by OI Group and any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group of the Existing Indebtedness; (3) the incurrence by OI Group, the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the private notes and the related Guarantees be issued on the date of the Indenture and the exchange notes to be issued pursuant the exchange offer; (4) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed 3.0% of Tangible Assets; (5) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness incurred to finance all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (5), not to exceed 5.0% of Tangible Assets, as measured after giving effect to such transaction;

(7) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are or will be used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than Intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3), (6) or (7) of this paragraph; (8) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Intercompany Indebtedness between or among OI Group and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and with respect to OI Group only, between OI Group and OI Inc.; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that: (a) if OI Group, the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the notes, in the case of the Company, or the Guarantees of the notes, in the case of OI Group or a Guarantor; (b) any incurrence by OI Group of Intercompany Indebtedness to OI Inc. after the Issue Date will be in exchange for cash loans or advances from OI Inc. in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; and (c) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (8); 82 (9) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations; (10) provided that so long as no Default shall have occurred or be continuing or would be caused thereby, the incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiary of OI Group of Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, not to exceed $300.0 million, in addition to the $1.41 billion of Indebtedness that may be incurred under clause (1) of this paragraph; (11) (i) the Guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group and (ii) the Guarantee by any Foreign Subsidiary of Indebtedness of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group, in each case, that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; (12) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant or an issuance of Disqualified Stock; PROVIDED, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of OI Group as accrued; (13) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (13), not to exceed $300.0 million; (14) Indebtedness arising from agreements of OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than Guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of OI Group or any such Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (i)) and (ii) the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred pursuant to this clause (14) shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including noncash proceeds (the Fair Market Value of such noncash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by OI Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; (15) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness incurred or deemed incurred or cash consideration received from the sale of accounts receivable by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or a special purpose vehicle established by any of them to purchase and sell such receivables;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence; and 83 (18) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Acquired Debt, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (18), not to exceed 5.0% of Tangible Assets, as measured after giving effect to the transaction for which the Acquired Debt was incurred. The Company will not incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) after the date of the Indenture that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the notes on substantially similar terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Indebtedness of the Company shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured. OI Group will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) after the date of the Indenture that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of OI Group or the Guarantors, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the obligations under the notes or Guarantees of the notes on substantially similar terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Indebtedness of OI Group or the Guarantors shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of OI Group or the Guarantors solely by virtue of being unsecured. For purposes of determining compliance with this "Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" covenant, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (18) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence in any manner that complies with this covenant, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which notes are first issued and authenticated under the Indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of Permitted Debt above. LIENS Neither OI Group nor any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group will create, incur, or permit to exist, any Lien on any of their respective assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure any Indebtedness of either of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group, without effectively providing that the notes shall be equally and ratably secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Lien, except: (1) Liens on cash and Cash Equivalents securing obligations in respect of letters of credit in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; (2) Liens existing on the Issue Date; (3) Liens granted after the Issue Date on any assets of OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries securing Indebtedness of OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries created in favor of the Holders of the notes; (4) Liens securing Indebtedness of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group which is incurred to extend, renew or refinance Indebtedness which is secured by Liens permitted to be incurred under the Indenture; PROVIDED that such Liens do not extend to or cover any assets of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group other than the assets securing the Indebtedness being extended, renewed or refinanced and that the principal or commitment amount of such Indebtedness does not exceed the principal or commitment amount of the Indebtedness being extended, renewed or refinanced at the time of such extension, renewal or refinancing, or at the time the Lien was issued, created or assumed or otherwise permitted; (5) Permitted Liens; and 84 (6) Liens created in substitution of or as replacements for any Liens permitted by the preceding clauses (1) through (5) or this clause (6), PROVIDED that, based on a good faith determination of an officer of the Company, the assets encumbered under any such substitute or replacement Lien is substantially similar in value to the assets encumbered by the otherwise permitted Lien which is being replaced. For purposes of the Indenture, the notes and the Guarantees of the notes, so long as the Credit Agreement is in effect, the notes will be considered equally and ratably secured if they are secured pursuant to terms and provisions, including any exclusions or exceptions described therein, no less favorable to the holders of notes than those set forth in, or contemplated by, the Credit Agreement. DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES OI Group will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (2) make loans or advances to OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or (3) transfer any of its properties or assets to OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: (1) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness, Credit Facilities, charter documents and shareholder agreements as in effect on the date of the Indenture, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof, PROVIDED that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in such Existing Indebtedness, Credit Facilities, charter documents and shareholders agreements as in effect on the date of the Indenture; (2) the Indenture, the notes, the Collateral Documents, the Offshore Collateral Documents and the Guarantees of the notes; (3) applicable law; (4) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, PROVIDED that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred; (5) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices; (6) purchase money obligations, including Capital Lease Obligations and obligations under mortgages, for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the nature described in clause (3) of the first paragraph of this covenant; 85 (7) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group that restricts any of the foregoing by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; (8) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, PROVIDED that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; and (9) Permitted Liens or Investment Grade Permitted Liens securing Indebtedness that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien. Nothing contained in this covenant shall prevent OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group from entering into any agreement (x) permitting or providing for the incurrence of Liens otherwise permitted by the "Liens" covenant or (y) restricting the sale or other disposition of property securing Indebtedness. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS OI Group will not, in any transaction or series of transactions, merge or consolidate with or into, or, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, any Person or Persons, and OI Group will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into any such transaction or series of transactions if such transaction or series of transactions, in the aggregate, would result in a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of OI Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, to any other Person or Persons, unless at the time and after giving effect thereto: (1) either: (a) OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary) (the "Successor Company") or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (2) the Successor Company (if other than OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the obligations of OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary (if such Restricted Subsidiary is a Guarantor), as the case may be, under the notes, the Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; (3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists; and (4) OI Group or the Successor Company formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than OI Group), or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made, will have, immediately after such transaction, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than such ratio for OI Group immediately prior to such transaction. This "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" covenant will not apply to (i) a merger or consolidation of OI Group, the Company or any of the Guarantors with or into any other of the Company, OI Group or any of the Guarantors or the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company, OI Group and any of its Guarantors and (ii) a merger or consolidation of any Foreign Subsidiary with or into OI Group or any of its Restricted 86 Subsidiaries or the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets from any Foreign Subsidiary to OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. On and after the one-year anniversary of the date of this prospectus, the Company will be permitted to assign its obligations under the notes and the Indenture to OI Inc., and the Company and each Guarantor will thereafter be released from its obligations under the notes, the Guarantees of the notes and the Indenture provided that (1) OI Inc. assumes all of the obligations under the notes and the Indenture, and (2) the obligations of each Credit Agreement Domestic Borrower under the Credit Agreement have been or will be concurrently assumed by OI Inc. in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement Domestic Borrowers may assign or transfer their rights and obligations thereunder to OI Inc. and all of OI Inc.'s subsidiaries will be concurrently released from their guarantees upon the consent of the requisite lenders thereunder if the term loans have been repaid, if OI Inc. has achieved and maintains immediately following such assumption (including the assumption of the notes) the investment grade ratings specified under the Credit Agreement and if all obligations of Subsidiaries of OI Inc. in respect of the OI Inc. Senior Notes, the notes and certain other debt have been released and assumed by OI Inc. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES OI Group will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "Affiliate Transaction") involving aggregate payments in consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless: (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to OI Group or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and (2) OI Group delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors. The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph: (1) transactions between or among OI Group and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (2) transactions between OI Group and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries on the one hand, and OI Inc. on the other, that are in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (3) payment of reasonable directors fees; (4) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of the Indenture described above under the caption "--Restricted Payments"; (5) the payment of customary annual management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees and related expenses to KKR and its Affiliates; (6) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of OI Group, any of its direct or indirect parent corporations or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group; (7) payments by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to KKR and its Affiliates for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other 87 investment banking activities, including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures which payments are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of OI Group in good faith; (8) transactions in which OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing stating that such transaction is fair to OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (1) of the preceding paragraph; (9) in addition to any payments referred to in (6) above, payments or loans to officers, directors and employees of OI Group, any of its direct or indirect parent corporations or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group for business or personal purposes and other loans and advances, in accordance with any policy of OI Group which shall have been approved by the Board of Directors of OI Group in good faith from time to time, to such officers, directors and employees for travel, entertainment, moving and other relocation expenses made in the ordinary course of business of OI Group, any of its direct or indirect parent corporations or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group; (10) any agreement in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect) or any transaction contemplated thereby; (11) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business which are fair to OI Group or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of OI Group or the senior management thereof; (12) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of OI Group or the Company to any Principal; and (13) transactions involving the sale of accounts receivables by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or a special purpose vehicle established by any of them to purchase and sell receivables. ADDITIONAL GUARANTEES/PLEDGES If a Domestic Subsidiary of OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries guarantees Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, including the reinstatement or renewal of a Guarantee of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement previously released under the Credit Agreement, then that Domestic Subsidiary must become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 10 business days of the date on which it executes a guarantee under the Credit Agreement. If, on or after the Issue Date, any Domestic Subsidiary of OI Group pledges any property or assets to secure obligations under the Credit Agreement (other than pursuant to the Collateral Documents or as contemplated by the Credit Agreement), then such property or assets will, subject to certain exceptions, also secure the notes. DESIGNATION OF RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES The Board of Directors of OI Group may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default; PROVIDED that in no event shall the business currently operated by the Company be transferred to or held by an Unrestricted Subsidiary. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by OI Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the 88 Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be a Restricted Investment made as of the time of such designation and that designation will only be permitted if such Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of OI Group may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; PROVIDED that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption "--Certain Covenants--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. LIMITATIONS ON ISSUANCES OF GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS OI Group will not permit any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to guarantee the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company or OI Group unless such Domestic Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the notes by such Domestic Subsidiary, which Guarantee shall be senior to or PARI PASSU with such Subsidiary's Guarantee of such other Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Guarantee will provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged under the circumstances described above under the caption "--Guarantees." The form of the Guarantee will be attached as an exhibit to, or included in, the Indenture. PAYMENTS FOR CONSENT OI Group will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture, the notes or the Guarantees unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. REPORTS Whether or not required by the SEC, so long as any notes are outstanding, OI Group will furnish to the Holders of the notes, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations: (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if OI Group were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by OI Group's certified independent accountants; and (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if OI Group were required to file such reports. In addition, whether or not required by the SEC, OI Group will file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, they will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, 89 upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES Each of the following is an Event of Default: (1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or liquidated damages, if any, with respect to, the notes; (2) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the notes; (3) failure by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions described under the captions "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Change of Control," "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Asset Sales" or "--Certain Covenants--Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets"; (4) failure by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture, the notes, the Guarantees of the notes (with respect to any Guarantor) and the Collateral Documents (with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary which has pledged assets or property to secure its obligations under the Indenture and the notes); (5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default: (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; PROVIDED, that an Event of Default will not be deemed to occur with respect to any such accelerated Indebtedness which is repaid or prepaid within 20 business days after such declaration; and, in any individual case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness is equal to or in excess of $50.0 million, or such Indebtedness together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100.0 million or more; (6) any final judgment or order for payment of money in excess of $50.0 million in any individual case and $100.0 million in the aggregate at any time shall be rendered against OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgment shall not have been paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (7) except as permitted by the Indenture or the Collateral Documents, any Guarantee of the notes shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee of the notes; (8) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, OI Group or any Significant Subsidiary of OI Group; and (9) except as permitted by the Collateral Documents, any amendments thereto and the provisions of the Indenture, any of the Collateral Documents ceases to be in full force and effect or 90 ceases to be effective, in all material respects, to create the Lien purported to be created in the Collateral in favor of the Holders for 60 days after notice. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to OI Group or any Significant Subsidiary of OI Group, all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately. A Holder of notes may not pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture, the notes, any Guarantee or any Collateral Document unless: (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such notes outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 30 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (5) during such 30-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes do not give the Trustee a direction which is inconsistent with the request. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or liquidated damages) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 91 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or liquidated damages on, or the principal of, the notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Company is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the notes, the Indenture, the Guarantees of the notes, the Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Guarantees of the notes ("Legal Defeasance") except for: (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and liquidated damages, if any, on such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below; (2) the Company's obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith; and (4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture. In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and liquidated damages, if any, on the outstanding notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 92 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; (4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either: (a) on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); or (b) or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument to which OI Group or the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries are a party or by which OI Group or the Company or any of such Restricted Subsidiaries are bound; (6) the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Company or any Guarantor between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the deposit and assuming that no Holder is an "insider" of the Company under applicable bankruptcy law, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally; (7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and (8) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture, the notes or the Guarantees of the notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the notes or the Guarantees of the notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or 93 tender offer or exchange offer for, notes). Amendments to the Collateral Documents will be made in accordance with their terms. Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting Holder): (1) reduce the principal amount of notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or alter the provisions, or waive any payment, with respect to the redemption of the notes; (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, or liquidated damages, if any, on the notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); (5) make any note payable in money other than U.S. dollars; (6) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or liquidated damages, if any, on the notes; (7) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee, the Indenture or any Collateral Document, except in accordance with the terms of the Guarantee, the Indenture and any Collateral Document; (8) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the notes, the Guarantees of the notes or the Collateral Documents; (9) amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make and consummate an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in accordance with the "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Asset Sales" covenant or the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with the "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Change of Control" covenant, including, in each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto; (10) except as otherwise permitted under the "--Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets" covenant, consent to the assignment or transfer by OI Group, the Company or any Guarantor of any of their rights or obligations under the Indenture; (11) amend or modify any of the provisions of the Indenture or any Guarantee of the notes in a manner material and adverse to the Holders of the notes except (a) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or such Guarantee or (b) as permitted by the following paragraph; (12) amend or modify any of the provisions of the Collateral Documents except (a) in accordance with the terms of such documents or (b) as permitted by the following paragraph; or (13) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions. Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any Holder of notes, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the notes, the Guarantees and the Collateral Documents: (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (2) to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes; 94 (3) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any Guarantor's obligations to Holders of notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the Company's or such Guarantor's assets; (4) to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to Holders of the notes by OI Inc. in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; (5) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture, the Guarantees of the notes or the Collateral Documents of any such Holder (including, but not limited to, adding a Guarantor under the Indenture and adding additional collateral for the benefit of the Holders of the notes); or (6) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. The consent of the Holders of the notes is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment under the Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to mail to the Holders of the notes a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders of the notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when: (1) either: (a) all notes that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (b) all notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and liquidated damages, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; (3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture; and 95 (4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT The Intercreditor Agreement governs, among other things, (i) the direction of the Collateral Agent with respect to the exercise of remedies under the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Mortgages, (ii) the distribution of the proceeds of certain asset sales of collateral by OI Group and its subsidiaries and the proceeds of insurance and condemnation awards, and (iii) the distribution of proceeds of any foreclosure upon and sale of collateral under the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Mortgages. Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the lenders under the Credit Agreement direct the Collateral Agent with respect to decisions relating to the exercise of remedies under the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Mortgages, including whether to foreclose on the collateral following a default on the notes. Holders of the notes are generally not entitled to share in the proceeds of any asset sales of Collateral by OI Group or any subsidiary or insurance or condemnation proceeds unless pursuant to enforcement actions under the Collateral Documents. Net proceeds of any sales of collateral from an enforcement action are first shared ratably among the senior secured parties (including the Holders of the notes to the extent secured at such time by the collateral giving rise to such proceeds) based upon the relevant amounts due and payable to such senior secured party (less, in the case of the Holders of the notes, proceeds with respect to prior sales held by the Trustee, but not applied to payments on the notes). Amendments to the Intercreditor Agreement necessary to permit the incurrence of additional indebtedness secured by the collateral and to add additional secured parties thereto may be made without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the notes, insofar as the foregoing is not prohibited under the Indenture. THE PLEDGE AGREEMENT The Pledge Agreement provides for the pledge by OI Group and OI Packaging of the Capital Stock of, and Intercompany Indebtedness owed to OI Group and OI Packaging by, their respective direct Subsidiaries to secure OI Group's and its Subsidiaries' obligations, including OI Packaging, under or in respect of the Credit Agreement and certain other senior indebtedness, and under or in respect of the notes, including their respective Guarantees, in each case on a senior basis, and the obligations under or in respect of OI Inc.'s outstanding public debt securities on a junior basis. The notes will not be secured by the Capital Stock of OI General FTS Inc. and the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by OI General FTS Inc. to OI Group, which is pledged to the lenders under the Pledge Agreement. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--Notes Effectively Subordinated to Certain Secured Credit Agreement Obligations and Obligations of OI Inc.--The notes are effectively subordinated to the obligations under the secured credit agreement, certain obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as permitted under the secured credit agreement and obligations related to OI Inc.'s $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities to the extent these obligations are secured by collateral that does not secure the notes." Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), the Pledge Agreement provides for the foreclosure upon and sale of the pledged collateral, including the Collateral pledged to secure the notes, by the Collateral Agent and the ratable distribution of the net proceeds of any such sale (to the extent secured by the applicable collateral) first to the holders of the senior secured obligations and second to the holders of the junior secured obligations, in each case in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. In general, the lenders under the Credit Agreement have the power to terminate the Pledge Agreement and release the collateral pledged thereunder when the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid in full, when the collateral thereunder no 96 longer secures the obligations under the Credit Agreement, or when OI Inc. and OI Group achieve the investment grade ratings specified in the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Agent acknowledges such ratings. In addition, all or any portion of the collateral pledged under the Pledge Agreement may be released upon the approval of lenders under the Credit Agreement. SECURITY AGREEMENT AND MORTGAGES The Security Agreement and the Mortgages provide for the granting of security interests and liens by OI Group and substantially all its Domestic Subsidiaries in substantially all of their respective personal property (excluding the collateral pledged under the Pledge Agreement) and real property consisting of fee or ground leasehold interests with an individual value in excess of $25.0 million subject to certain exceptions. Subject to certain limitations and exceptions, the security interests granted under the Security Agreement secure the obligations of OI Group and its Subsidiaries under or in respect of the Credit Agreement, certain other senior indebtedness and the notes, including their respective Guarantees, and the liens granted by the Mortgages secure the obligations of the applicable mortgagor under or in respect of the Credit Agreement, certain other senior indebtedness and the notes, including their respective guarantees. The collateral under the Security Agreement consisting of the Capital Stock of substantially all of the Domestic Subsidiaries of Credit Agreement Domestic Borrowers, Intercompany Indebtedness owed to the Credit Agreement Domestic Borrowers and substantially all of their Domestic Subsidiaries, and the Capital Stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries will not secure the notes. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--Notes Effectively Subordinated to Certain Secured Credit Agreement Obligations and Obligations of OI Inc.--The notes are effectively subordinated to the obligations under the secured credit agreement, certain obligations owing to lenders or their affiliates as permitted under the secured credit agreement and obligations related to OI Inc.'s $1.7 billion of outstanding public debt securities to the extent these obligations are secured by collateral that does not secure the notes." Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Agreement and the Mortgages, as applicable), the Security Agreement and the Mortgages provide for the foreclosure upon and sale of the applicable collateral, including the Collateral pledged to secure the notes, by the Collateral Agent and the distribution of the net proceeds of any such sale (to the extent secured by the applicable collateral) first to the holders of the secured obligations in each case in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. In general, the lenders under the Credit Agreement have the power to terminate the Security Agreement and Mortgages and release the collateral thereunder when the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid in full, when the collateral thereunder no longer secures the obligations under the Credit Agreement, or when OI Inc. and OI Group achieve the investment grade ratings specified in the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Agent acknowledges such ratings. In addition, all or any portion of the collateral under the Security Agreement and the Mortgages may be released upon the approval of lenders under the Credit Agreement. RELEASES OF COLLATERAL Under the terms of the Collateral Documents, the lenders under the Credit Agreement determine the circumstances and manner in which the collateral, including the Collateral securing the notes and the Guarantees of the notes, shall be disposed of, including, but not limited to, the determination of whether to release all or any portion of the Collateral from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents and whether to foreclose on the Collateral following a default on the notes. Generally, upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral in a transaction not prohibited by the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents, including an Asset Sale, the Collateral will be released from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents. Moreover, when the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid in full, when the collateral under the Collateral Documents no longer secures the obligations under the Credit Agreement and upon election of the applicable grantors or pledgors, or when OI Inc. and OI Group achieve the investment grade ratings specified in the Credit 97 Agreement and the Collateral Agent acknowledges such ratings, each of the Collateral Documents may be terminated and the collateral, including the Collateral securing the notes and the Guarantees of the notes, thereunder released. The Holders of the notes, however, are entitled, under certain circumstances, to their ratable share of the distribution of the proceeds of the Collateral as described in the Intercreditor Agreement. See "--Intercreditor Agreement." In addition, the Collateral Documents provide that upon release of a Guarantee under the Indenture, the security interest in the assets of that Guarantor securing the notes and the Guarantees of the notes will be released simultaneously. Under the indemnification provisions contained in the Intercreditor Agreement, any pro rata payments due to the Collateral Agent from the Holders of the notes will be deducted from their portion of the proceeds from the Collateral prior to the distribution of such proceeds. The amount of indebtedness secured under the Collateral Documents may be increased without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the notes. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE If the Trustee becomes a creditor of the Company or any Guarantor, the Indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any Holder of notes, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the Indenture without charge by writing to Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc., One SeaGate, Toledo, Ohio 43666, Attention: Investor Relations. BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM The exchange notes will be issued in registered, global form in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The exchange notes will be represented by one or more exchange notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below. Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for exchange notes in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below. See "--Exchange of Book-Entry Notes for Certificated Notes." Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of exchange notes in certificated form. 98 Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream), which may change from time to time. DEPOSITORY PROCEDURES The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. The Company takes no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters. DTC has advised the Company that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants. DTC has also advised the Company that, pursuant to procedures established by it: (1) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the exchange agent with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and (2) ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interest in the Global Notes). Investors in the Global Notes who are Participants in DTC's system may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) which are Participants in such system. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests in the Global Notes on behalf of their participants through customers' securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories, which are Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of Euroclear, and Citibank, N.A., as operator of Clearstream. All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems. The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests. 99 EXCEPT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, OWNERS OF AN INTEREST IN THE GLOBAL NOTES WILL NOT HAVE EXCHANGE NOTES REGISTERED IN THEIR NAMES, WILL NOT RECEIVE PHYSICAL DELIVERY OF EXCHANGE NOTES IN CERTIFICATED FORM AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED THE REGISTERED OWNERS OR "HOLDERS" THEREOF UNDER THE INDENTURE FOR ANY PURPOSE. Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium and liquidated damages, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered Holder under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Company and the Trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for: (1) any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or (2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants. DTC has advised the Company that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the exchange notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of exchange notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or the Company. Neither the Company nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and the Company and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes. Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures. Cross-market transfers between the Participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream. DTC has advised the Company that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if 100 there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to its Participants. Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time. Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective Participants or Indirect Participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations. EXCHANGE OF GLOBAL NOTES FOR CERTIFICATED NOTES A Global Note is exchangeable for definitive notes in registered certificated form ("Certificated Notes") if: (1) DTC (a) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and the Company fails to appoint a successor depositary or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act; (2) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the Indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear the applicable restrictive legend referred to in "Notice to Investors," unless that legend is not required by applicable law. SAME DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT The Company will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, interest and liquidated damages, if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Global Note Holder. The Company will make all payments of principal, interest and premium and liquidated damages, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such Holder's registered address. The notes represented by the Global Notes are eligible to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. The Company expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds. Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised the Company that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of 101 DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC's settlement date.

See accompanying Statement of Significant Accounting Policies and Financial Review. F-7 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS. The consolidated financial statements of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. ("Company") include the accounts of its subsidiaries. Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from dates of acquisition. Prior to December 2000, substantially all of the Company's consolidated foreign subsidiaries reported their results of operations on a one-month lag, which allowed additional time to compile their results. Beginning in December 2000, the one-month lag was eliminated. As a result, the December 2000 results of operations for these subsidiaries, which amounted to a net loss of $23.3 million, was recorded directly to retained earnings in December 2000. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has a significant ownership interest, generally 20% to 50%. Other investments are accounted for at cost. RELATIONSHIP WITH OWENS-ILLINOIS INC. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Owens-Illinois, Inc. ("OI Inc."). Although OI Inc. does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations related to outstanding indebtedness, dividends for preferred stock and asbestos-related payments. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from the Company to meet these obligations. For federal and certain state income tax purposes, the taxable income of the Company is included in the consolidated tax returns of OI Inc. and income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns. Current income taxes are recorded by the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns. NATURE OF OPERATIONS. The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass containers and plastics packaging products operating in two product segments. The Company's principal product lines in the Glass Containers product segment are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. Sales of the Glass Containers product segment were 66% of the Company's 2001 consolidated sales. The Company has glass container operations located in 19 countries, while the plastics packaging products operations are located in 10 countries. The principal markets and operations for the Company's glass products are in North America, Europe, South America and Australia. The Company's principal product lines in the Plastics Packaging product segment include plastic containers, closures and plastic prescription containers. Major markets for the Company's plastics packaging products include the United States household products, personal care products, health care products, and food and beverage industries. USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, at which time the Company would revise its estimates accordingly. CASH. The Company defines "cash" as cash and time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The carrying amounts reported for cash, short-term investments and short-term loans approximate fair value. In addition, carrying amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined interest rates. The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, OI Inc.'s public debt securities. Fair values of such securities are generally based on public market quotations. Derivative financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value. F-8 INVENTORY VALUATION. The Company values most U.S. inventories at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Other inventories are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs) or market. EXCESS OF PURCHASE COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED. Through December 31, 2001, the excess of purchase cost over net assets acquired was being amortized over 40 years. The Company evaluated the recoverability of long-lived assets based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicated that an impairment may have existed. (See "New Accounting Standards"). PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT. In general, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Renewals and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. REVENUE RECOGNITION. The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when title to products is transferred to customers. Shipping and handling costs are included with manufacturing, shipping, and delivery costs. INCOME TAXES ON UNDISTRIBUTED EARNINGS. In general, the Company plans to continue to reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint ventures accounted for by the equity method. Accordingly, taxes are provided only on that amount of undistributed earnings in excess of planned reinvestments. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The assets and liabilities of most affiliates and associates are translated at current exchange rates and any related translation adjustments are recorded directly in share owner's equity. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company's affiliates located in Venezuela operated in a "highly inflationary" economy. As such, certain assets of these affiliates were translated at historical exchange rates and all translation adjustments are reflected in the statements of Consolidated Results of Operations. During 2002, the affiliates in Venezuela will no longer be considered operating in a "highly inflationary" economy. Assets and liabilities will be translated at current exchange rates with any related translation adjustments being recorded directly to share owners' equity. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" which is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Also in July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS No. 142"), which is effective for goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001. For goodwill acquired prior to June 30, 2001, FAS No. 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under FAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. The Company estimates that adopting FAS No. 142 will increase 2002 earnings before the effects of the accounting change by approximately $90 million compared to 2001 results. The Company has not completed its assessment of the effects that adopting FAS No. 142 will have on the reported value of goodwill, however, the Company expects that it will record an impairment charge in 2002 in connection with adopting FAS No. 142. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS No. 144"). FAS No. 144 supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("FAS No. 121"). FAS No. 144 provides additional guidance on estimating cash flows when performing a recoverability test, requires that a long-lived asset (group) to be disposed of other than by sale (e.g. abandoned) be classified as "held and used" until it is disposed F-9 of, and establishes more restrictive criteria to classify an asset (group) as "held for sale," however, it retains the fundamental provisions of FAS No. 121 related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be "held and used." FAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and transition is prospective for committed disposal activities that are initiated after the effective date of FAS No. 144's initial application. The impact of adopting FAS No. 144 on the Company's reporting and disclosure is not expected to be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. F-10 FINANCIAL REVIEW TABULAR DATA IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. CHANGES IN COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL RELATED TO OPERATIONS. Changes in the components of working capital related to operations (net of the effects related to acquisitions and divestitures) were as follows (certain amounts from prior year have been reclassified to conform to current presentation):

If the inventories which are valued on the LIFO method had been valued at standard costs, which approximate current costs, consolidated inventories would be higher than reported by $19.9 million and $23.0 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Inventories which are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs) or market at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were approximately $501.7 million and $455.4 million, respectively.

In April 2001, certain of the Company's subsidiaries (the "Borrowers") entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with a group of banks, which expires on March 31, 2004. The Agreement provides for a $3.0 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $1.5 billion term loan (the "Term Loan"). The Agreement includes an Overdraft Account Facility providing for aggregate borrowings up to $50 million which reduce the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit F-12 totaling up to $500 million, which also reduce the amount available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2001, the Company had unused credit of $491.4 million available under the Secured Credit Agreement. Prior to April 2001, the Company's significant bank financing was provided under OI Inc.'s April 1998 Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for a $4.5 billion Revolving Credit Facility, which included a $1.75 billion fronted offshore loan revolving facility denominated in certain foreign currencies, subject to certain sublimits, available to certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Secured Credit Agreement were used to repay all amounts outstanding under, and terminate, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement through the payment of amounts owed to OI Inc. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, at the Borrower's option, the Base Rate or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a margin linked to OI Inc.'s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Agreement. The margin is limited to ranges of 1.75% to 2.00% for Eurodollar loans and .75% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. The interest rate on Overdraft Account loans is the Base Rate minus .50%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2001 was 4.14%. While no compensating balances are required by the Agreement, the Borrowers must pay a facility fee on the Revolving Credit Facility commitments of .50%. The interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan is, at the Borrowers' option, the Base Rate or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan also includes a margin of 2.50% for Eurodollar loans and 1.50% for Base Rate loans. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan at December 31, 2001 was 4.50%. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries which have a book value of approximately $3.5 billion. Borrowings under the Agreement are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and certain stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Agreement contains covenants and provisions that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments, pay dividends. create liens on assets, enter into contingent obligations, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, loans or advances, make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the business conducted by the Company, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. In addition, the Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain, based upon the financial statements of OI Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, specified financial ratios and tests, including minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratios, minimum net worth and specified capital expenditures tests. During January 2002, a subsidiary of the Company completed a $1.0 billion private placement of senior secured notes. The notes bear interest at 8 7/8% and are due February 15, 2009. The notes are guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries. The assets of substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries are pledged as security for the notes. The issuing subsidiary used the net cash proceeds from the notes to reduce the outstanding term loan under the Agreement by $980.0 million. As such, the Company wrote off unamortized deferred financing fees in January 2002 related to the term loan and recorded an extraordinary charge totaling $10.9 million less applicable income taxes of $4.2 million. The indenture for the notes restricts among other things, the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to borrow money, pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase stock, make investments, create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. F-13 Amounts payable to OI Inc. above equal OI Inc.'s total indebtedness. Interest costs on amounts payable to OI Inc. are charged to the Company in the same amount as incurred by OI Inc. On June 26, 2001, OI Inc. sought and received consent from the holders of a majority of the principal amount of each of its six series of senior notes and debentures to amend the indenture governing those securities. The amendments implement a previously announced offer by the Company and a principal subsidiary of the Company to guarantee the senior notes and debentures on a subordinated basis. The fair value of the OI Inc. debt being guaranteed by the Company at December 31, 2001 was $1,545.1 million. Annual maturities for all of the Company's long-term debt through 2006 are as follows: 2002, $30.8 million; 2003, $43.4 million; 2004, $2,807.4 million; 2005, $421.1 million; and 2006, $5.2 million. These maturities reflect the issuance of the senior secured notes in January 2002 as noted above. Including interest paid by OI Inc., interest paid in cash aggregated $424.7 million, $467.6 million, and $388.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. OPERATING LEASES. Rent expense attributable to all operating leases was $95.0 million in 2001, $77.8 million in 2000, and $73.7 million in 1999. Minimum future rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2002, $62.0 million; 2003, $50.6 million; 2004, $37.9 million; 2005, $31.6 million; 2006, $25.5 million; and 2007 and thereafter, $35.5 million. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Aggregate foreign currency exchange gains (losses) included in other costs and expenses were $2.6 million in 2001, $(1.0) million in 2000 and $4.9 million in 1999. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS. The terms of OI Inc.'s former bank credit agreement provided for foreign currency borrowings by certain of its international affiliates. Such borrowings provided a natural hedge against a portion of the Company's investment. Under the April 2001 Secured Credit Agreement, international affiliates are only permitted to borrow in U.S. dollars. The Company's affiliates in Australia and the United Kingdom have entered into currency swaps covering their initial borrowings under the Agreement. These swaps are being used to manage the affiliates exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates by swapping the principal and interest payments due under the Secured Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2001, the Company's affiliate in Australia has swapped $650.0 million of borrowings into $1,275.0 million of Australian dollars. This swap matures on March 31, 2003, with interest resets every 90 days. The interest reset terms of the swap approximate the terms of the U.S. dollar borrowings. This derivative instrument swaps both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to Australian dollars and also swaps the interest rate from a U.S. based rate to an Australian based rate. The Company's affiliate in the United Kingdom has swapped $200.0 million of borrowings into 139.0 million British pounds. This swap also matures on March 31, 2003, with interest resets every 90 days. This derivative instrument swaps both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to British pounds and also swaps the interest rate from a U.S. based rate to a British based rate. On October 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $150 million. The Company financed this purchase through borrowings under the Secured Credit Agreement, which were transferred to Canada through intercompany loans in U.S. dollars. The Company's affiliate in Canada has entered into swap transactions to manage the affiliate's exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates by swapping the principal and interest portion of the intercompany loan. At December 31, 2001, the Canadian affiliate has swapped $90.0 million of borrowings into $142.0 million Canadian dollars. This swap matures on October 1, 2003. This derivative instrument swaps both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars and also swaps the interest rate from a U.S. based rate to a Canadian based rate. The affiliate has also entered into a forward hedge related to the fourth quarter interest receivable and payable related to the previous swap. The affiliate has also entered in forward F-14 hedges which effectively swap $10 million of borrowings into $16 million Canadian dollars. These hedges swap both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars and mature monthly. The Company recognizes the above derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company accounts for the above swaps as fair value hedges. As such, the changes in the value of the swaps are included in other expense and are expected to substantially offset any exchange rate gains or losses on the related U.S. dollar borrowings. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the amount not offset was immaterial. The Company also uses commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid and the potential volatility in earnings or cash flows from future price movements. During 2001, the Company entered into commodity futures contracts for approximately 75% of its domestic natural gas usage (approximately 1.2 billion BTUs) through March, 2002. The Company accounts for the above futures contracts on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI") and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. The above futures contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2001. Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting anticipated cash flows of the hedged transactions. For hedged forecasted transactions, hedge accounting will be discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable to occur, and any previously deferred gains or losses will be recorded to earnings immediately. During 2001, an unrealized net loss of $2.5 million (net of tax) related to these commodity futures contracts was included in OCI. There was no ineffectiveness recognized during 2001. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS). Foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in certain derivative balances comprise accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows:
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Balance at beginning of year................................ $(506.4) $(368.6) $(190.7) Net effect of exchange rate fluctuations.................... (70.0) (140.6) (175.8) Deferred income taxes....................................... 2.6 2.8 (2.1) Change in certain derivative balances....................... (2.5) ------- ------- ------- Balance at end of year...................................... $(576.3) $(506.4) $(368.6) ======= ======= =======
The net effect of exchange rate fluctuations generally reflects changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies between the beginning and end of the year. F-15 INCOME TAXES. Deferred income taxes reflect: (1) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (2) carryovers and credits for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (certain amounts from prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation):
2001 2000 -------- -------- Deferred tax assets: Accrued postretirement benefits........................... $ 106.2 $ 103.6 U.S. federal tax loss carryovers.......................... 63.5 149.7 Alternative minimum tax credits........................... 31.5 23.6 Other..................................................... 253.9 296.3 ------- ------- Total deferred tax assets............................... 455.1 573.2 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment............................. 317.1 262.8 Prepaid pension costs..................................... 301.9 254.1 Inventory................................................. 37.4 42.3 Other..................................................... 156.8 183.5 ------- ------- Total deferred tax liabilities.......................... 813.2 742.7 ------- ------- Net deferred tax liabilities............................ $(358.1) $(169.5) ======= =======
Deferred taxes are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2001 and 2000 as follows:
2001 2000 -------- -------- Prepaid expenses............................................ $ 121.7 $ 106.1 Deferred tax liabilities.................................... (479.8) (275.6) ------- ------- Net deferred tax liabilities................................ $(358.1) $(169.5) ======= =======
F-16 The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following:
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Current: U.S. Federal.............................................. $ 8.0 $ 0.8 $ 3.8 State..................................................... 19.4 2.1 2.9 Foreign................................................... 31.7 97.0 68.0 ----- ----- ------ 59.1 99.9 74.7 ----- ----- ------ Deferred: U.S. Federal.............................................. 192.2 16.9 111.1 State..................................................... 1.2 (9.2) 11.4 Foreign................................................... 33.9 (43.5) (11.7) ----- ----- ------ 227.3 (35.8) 110.8 ----- ----- ------ Total: U.S. Federal.............................................. 200.2 17.7 114.9 State..................................................... 20.6 (7.1) 14.3 Foreign................................................... 65.6 53.5 56.3 ----- ----- ------ 286.4 $64.1 $185.5 ===== ===== ======
The provision for income taxes was calculated based on the following components of earnings (loss) before income taxes:
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Domestic.................................................... $516.8 $(16.0) $320.9 Foreign..................................................... $150.4 174.4 176.9 ------ ------ ------ $667.2 $158.4 $497.8 ====== ====== ======

F-17 At December 31, 2001, the Company had unused net operating losses and research tax credits expiring from 2007 to 2021. The Company also has unused alternative minimum tax credits which do not expire and will be available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. At December 31, 2001, the Company's equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $562.6 million. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which would be payable should these earnings be distributed. PARTICIPATION IN OI INC. STOCK OPTION PLANS. The Company participates in the stock option plans of OI Inc. under which employees of the Company may be granted options to purchase common shares of OI Inc. No options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to certain accelerated exercisability provisions, 50% of the options become exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the date of the option grant, with the remaining 50% becoming exercisable on the sixth anniversary date of the option grant. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant. All options have been granted at prices equal to the market price of the OI Inc.'s common stock on the date granted. Accordingly, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to the stock option plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as allowed by SFAS No. 123, pro forma net income would have been as follows:
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Net income: As reported............................................... $356.6 $72.3 $298.3 Pro forma................................................. 347.7 64.3 291.4
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Expected life of options.................................... 5 years 5 years 5 years Expected stock price volatility............................. 69.8% 62.9% 36.5% Risk-free interest rate..................................... 4.85% 6.60% 5.10% Expected dividend yield..................................... 0.00% 0.00% 0.00%
PENSION BENEFIT PLANS. Net credits to results of operations for all of the Company's pension plans and certain deferred compensation arrangements amounted to $83.4 million in 2001, $88.6 million in 2000 and $58.6 million in 1999. On October 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. As part of the transaction, the Company assumed certain of the pension liabilities of Consumers Packaging. The information below includes the activity of these pension plans from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001. The Company has pension plans covering substantially all employees located in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of service for hourly employees. The Company's policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. The following tables relate to the Company's principal U.S., United Kingdom, Australian and Canadian pension plans. F-18 The changes in the pension benefit obligations for the year were as follows:
2001 2000 -------- -------- Obligations at beginning of year............................ $2,388.8 $2,286.5 Change in benefit obligations: Service cost.............................................. 36.6 36.6 Interest cost............................................. 169.3 168.8 Actuarial loss (gain).....................................

The following selected information is for plans with benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of plan assets:
2001 -------- Benefit obligations at the end of the year.................. $484.7 Fair value of plan assets at the end of the year............ 411.8 ======
The following information is for plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of plan assets:
2001 -------- Accumulated benefit obligations at the end of the year...... $145.8 Fair value of plan assets at the end of the year............ 131.5 ======
The actuarial present value of benefit obligations is based on a weighted discount rate of approximately 7.00% for 2001 and 2000. Future benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent with past experience of the plans, which, to the extent benefits are based on compensation, includes assumed salary increases on a weighted scale of approximately 4.75% for 2001 and 2000. The expected weighted long-term rate of return on assets was approximately 10.00% for 2001 and 2000, and 9.50% for 1999. Amortization included in net pension credits is based on the average remaining service of employees. Plan assets include marketable equity securities (which at December 31, 2001 and 2000 included 14,423,621 shares of OI Inc.'s common stock), government and corporate debt securities, real estate and commingled funds. The Company also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salaried and hourly U.S. employees. Participation is voluntary and participants' contributions are based on their compensation. The Company matches substantially all plan participants' contributions up to various limits. Company contributions to these plans amounted to $9.2 million in 2001, $10.2 million in 2000 and $10.5 million in 1999. F-20 POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS. The Company provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. On October 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. The information below includes the activity of the related Canadian retiree health care plan from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001. The changes in the postretirement benefit obligations for the year were as follows:
2001 2000 -------- -------- Obligations at beginning of year............................ $279.5 $267.5 Change in benefit obligations: Service cost.............................................. 1.8 1.6 Interest cost............................................. 20.5 20.4 Actuarial loss............................................ 22.1 15.2 Curtailments.............................................. 5.8 Special separation program termination benefits........... 2.0 Acquisition............................................... 31.3 Benefit payments.......................................... (34.0) (33.0) ------ ------ Net change in benefit obligations....................... 41.7 12.0 ------ ------ Obligations at end of year.................................. $321.2 $279.5 ====== ======
The funded status of the postretirement benefit plans at year end was as follows:
2001 2000 -------- -------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligations.............. $321.2 $279.5 Net unrecognized items: Prior service cost........................................ 30.6 43.6 Actuarial loss............................................ (48.4) (27.0) ------ ------ (17.8) 16.6 ------ ------ Nonpension postretirement benefit obligations............... $303.4 $296.1 ====== ======
The components of the net postretirement benefit cost for the year were as follows:

(12.2) (13.7) (11.8) ----- ----- ----- Net postretirement benefit cost............................. $10.1 $ 8.4 $ 9.6 ===== ===== =====
Assumed health care cost inflation was based on a weighted average rate of 6.25% in 2001, declining to ultimate rate of 6.00%. A one percentage point decrease in the rate would have decreased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by $12.2 million and decreased the net postretirement benefit cost for 2001 by $0.9 million. A one percentage point increase in the rate would have increased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by F-21 $14.5 million and increased the net postretirement benefit cost for 2001 by $1.0 million. The assumed weighted average discount rates used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation were 7.25% and 7.50% at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Amortization included in net postretirement benefit cost is based on the average remaining service of employees. Benefits provided by the Company for certain of the hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. Most other domestic hourly retirees receive health and life insurance benefits from a multi-employer trust established by collective bargaining. Payments to the trust as required by the bargaining agreements are based upon specified amounts per hour worked and were $6.3 million in 2001, $7.5 million in 2000, and $8.0 million in 1999. Postretirement health and life benefits for retirees of foreign affiliates are generally provided through the national health care programs of the countries in which the affiliates are located. OTHER REVENUE. Other revenue for 2001 includes a gain of $457.3 million related to the sale of the Company's Harbor Capital Advisors business and gains totaling $13.1 million related to the sale of the Company's label business and the sale of a minerals business in Australia. Other revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 includes gains totaling $40.8 million related to the sales of a U.S. glass container plant and a mold manufacturing business in Colombia. OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 include pretax charges of $129.5 million related to the following: (1) net charges of $82.1 million consisting of $87.3 million for a restructuring program and impairment at certain of the Company's international and domestic operations offset by a $5.2 million reversal of a prior charge. The charges include the impairment of assets at the Company's affiliate in Puerto Rico and the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and the closing of a facility in Venezuela. The program also includes consolidation of capacity at certain other international and domestic facilities in response to decisions about pricing and market strategy; (2) a charge of $31.0 million related to the loss on the sale of the Company's facilities in India; (3) a charge of $8.5 million for certain contingencies; and (4) a charge of $7.9 million related to restructuring manufacturing capacity in the medical devices business. The Company expects its actions related to the restructuring and impairment charges to be completed during the next several quarters. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 include $248.3 million principally related to a restructuring and capacity realignment program. The restructuring and capacity realignment program, initiated in the third quarter of 2000, includes the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and a reduction of 350 employees in the U.S. salaried work force, or about 10%, principally as a result of early retirement incentives. Also included in the program are a write-down of plant and equipment for the Company's glass container affiliate in India and certain other asset write-offs. Manufacturing capacity consolidations principally involve U.S. glass container facilities and reflect technology-driven improvements in productivity, conversions from some juice and similar products to plastic containers, Company and customer decisions regarding pricing and volume and the further concentration of production in the most strategically-located facilities. The Company expects that it will continue to make cash payments over the next several quarters for benefits and on-going closing costs related to the closing of these facilities. As a result of a 10% reduction of the U.S. salaried workforce in 2000, the Company recognized a settlement gain of approximately $40 million related to its defined benefit pension plan. This gain has been included in the net charge of $52.4 million for retirement incentives and special termination benefits. The 2000 pretax charge of $40.0 million was related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment in India. Based on the Company's expectation of future net cash flows of its affiliate in India, the related property, plant, and equipment was written down to realizable values in accordance F-22 with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." Selected information relating to the restructuring accruals follows:

Capacity realignment includes charges for plant closings, severance benefits, and write-downs of assets for disposal or abandonment as a result of restructuring of manufacturing capacity. Write-downs of assets represent the majority of charges for 2001. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 include charges totaling $20.8 million related principally to restructuring costs and write-offs of certain assets in Europe and South America. F-23 EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES FROM EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT. During 2001, the Company wrote off unamortized deferred financing fees related to indebtedness repaid prior to its scheduled maturity. As a result, the Company recorded extraordinary charges totaling $6.6 million less applicable income taxes of $2.5 million. During 1999, OI Inc. incurred redemption premiums and wrote off unamortized deferred financing fees related to indebtedness repaid prior to its scheduled maturity. As a result, the Company was allocated extraordinary charges totaling $1.2 million less applicable income taxes of $0.4 million. CONTINGENCIES. The Company's parent, OI Inc., is one of a number of defendants (typically from 20 to 100 or more) in a substantial number of lawsuits filed in numerous state and federal courts by persons alleging bodily injury (including death) as a result of exposure to dust from asbestos fibers. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from the Company to fund its indemnity payments and legal fees related to these lawsuits. From 1948 to 1958, one of OI Inc.'s former business units commercially produced and sold approximately $40 million of a high-temperature, calcium-silicate based pipe and block insulation material containing asbestos. OI Inc. exited the pipe and block insulation business in April 1958. The traditional asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims relating to such production and sale of asbestos material typically allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and punitive damages in various amounts (herein referred to as "asbestos claims"). The following table shows the approximate number of plaintiffs and claimants involved in asbestos claims pending at the beginning of, disposed of and filed during, and pending at the end of, each of the years listed (eliminating duplicate filings):
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Pending at beginning of year................................ 20,000 17,000 15,000 Disposed.................................................... 24,000 17,000 10,000 Filed....................................................... 31,000 20,000 12,000 ------ ------ ------ Pending at end of year...................................... 27,000 20,000 17,000 ====== ====== ======
Additionally, OI Inc. has claims-handling agreements in place with many plaintiff's counsel throughout the country. These agreements require evaluation and negotiation regarding whether particular claimants qualify under the criteria established by such agreements. The criteria for such claims include verification of a compensable illness and a reasonable probability of exposure to a product manufactured by OI Inc.'s former business unit during its manufacturing period ending in 1958. OI Inc. believes that the bankruptcies of additional co-defendants, as discussed below, have resulted in an acceleration of the presentation and disposition of a number of claims under such agreements, which claims would otherwise have been presented and disposed of over the next several years. This acceleration is reflected in an increased number of pending asbestos claims and, to the extent disposed, contributes to an increase in asbestos-related payments which is expected to continue in the near term. Since receiving its first asbestos claim, OI Inc., as of December 31, 2001, has disposed of the asbestos claims of approximately 264,000 plaintiffs and claimants at an average indemnity payment per claim of approximately $5,300. Certain of these dispositions have included deferred payment amounts payable over periods ranging from one to seven years. Deferred payments at December 31, 2001 totaled $37 million and are included in the foregoing average indemnity payment per claim. OI Inc.'s indemnity payments for these claims have varied on a per claim basis, and are expected to continue to vary considerably over time. OI Inc. believes that its ultimate asbestos-related contingent liability (i.e., its indemnity or other claim disposition costs plus related legal fees) cannot be estimated with certainty. In 1993, OI Inc. established a liability of $975 million to cover indemnity payments and legal fees associated with the F-24 resolution of outstanding and expected future asbestos lawsuits and claims. In 1998, an additional liability of $250 million was established. During the third quarter of 2000, OI Inc. established an additional liability of $550 million to cover OI Inc.'s estimated indemnity payments and legal fees arising from outstanding asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims and asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims filed in the ensuing several years. OI Inc.'s ability to reasonably estimate its liability has been significantly affected by the volatility of asbestos-related litigation in the United States, the expanding list of non-traditional defendants that have been sued in this litigation and found liable for substantial damage awards, the continued use of litigation screenings to generate new lawsuits, the large number of claims asserted or filed by parties who claim prior exposure to asbestos materials but have no present physical impairment as a result of such exposure, and the growing number of co-defendants that have filed for bankruptcy. Since the beginning of 2000, A. P. Green Industries, Inc., Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Federal-Mogul Corporation, Fibreboard Corporation, G-I Holdings (GAF), Harbison-Walker Refractories Group, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation, North American Refractories Co., Owens Corning, Pittsburgh-Corning, Plibrico Company, Porter Hayden Company, USG Corporation, W. R. Grace & Co. and several other smaller companies have sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. OI Inc. has continued to monitor trends which may affect its ultimate liability and has continued to analyze the developments and variables affecting or likely to affect the resolution of pending and future asbestos claims against OI Inc. OI Inc. expects that the gross amount of total asbestos-related payments will be moderately lower in 2002 compared to payments of $245.9 million in 2001 and will continue to decline thereafter as the number of potential claimants continues to decrease. However, the trend toward lower aggregate annual payments has not occurred as soon as had been anticipated when the additional liability was established in 2000. In addition, the number of claims and lawsuits filed against OI Inc. has exceed the number anticipated at that time. As a result, OI Inc. is continuing to evaluate trends to determine whether further adjustment of the asbestos-related liabilities is appropriate. While the results of this review cannot be estimated at this time, OI Inc. expects that an increase of the liability will be required in order to cover estimated indemnity payments and legal fees arising from asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims filed in the next several years. Subject to the completion of this review, based on all the factors and matters relating to OI Inc.'s asbestos-related lawsuits and claims, OI Inc. presently believes that the ultimate resolution of its asbestos-related costs and liabilities will not have a material effect on OI Inc.'s financial condition. Various litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are nonroutine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as a well as other types of relief. The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company in respect to such pending litigation and the ultimate amount of distributions which may be required to be made by the Company and other subsidiaries of OI, Inc. to fund OI Inc.'s asbestos-related payments cannot be estimated with certainty. However, the Company believes, based on its examination and review of such matters and experience to date and subject to the matters discussed above, that such ultimate liability will not be material in relation to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. SEGMENT INFORMATION. The Company operates in the rigid packaging industry. The Company has two reportable product segments within the rigid packaging industry: (1) Glass Containers and (2) Plastics Packaging. The Glass Containers segment includes operations in North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific region, and South America. The Plastics Packaging segment consists of two business units--consumer products (plastic containers and closures) and prescription products. The Other segment consists primarily of the Company's labels and carriers products business unit, substantially all of which was divested in early 2001. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on earnings before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, minority share owners' interests in earnings of F-25 subsidiaries, and extraordinary charges (collectively "EBIT") excluding unusual items. EBIT for product segments includes an allocation of corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. For the Company's U.S. pension plans, net periodic pension cost (credit) has been allocated to product segments while the related prepaid pension asset is included in the caption "Eliminations and Other Retained." Net sales as shown in the geographic segment information are based on the location of the Company's affiliate which recorded the sales. Financial information regarding the Company's product segments is as follows (certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation):

See accompanying Statement of Significant Accounting Policies and Financial Review. F-40 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS. The consolidated financial statements of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. ("Company") include the accounts of its subsidiaries. Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from dates of acquisition. Prior to December 2000, substantially all of the Company's consolidated foreign subsidiaries reported their results of operations on a one-month lag, which allowed additional time to compile the results. Beginning in December 2000, the one-month lag was eliminated. As a result, the December 2000 results of operations for these subsidiaries, which amounted to a net loss of $25.0 million, was recorded directly to retained earnings in December 2000. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has a significant ownership interest, generally 20% to 50%. Other investments are accounted for at cost. RELATIONSHIP WITH OWENS-ILLINOIS GROUP, INC. AND OWENS-ILLINOIS, INC. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. ("OI Group") and an indirect subsidiary of Owens-Illinois, Inc. ("OI Inc."). Although OI Inc. does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations related to outstanding indebtedness, dividends for preferred stock and asbestos-related payments. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from its direct and indirect subsidiaries to meet these obligations. For federal and certain state income tax purposes, the taxable income of the Company is included in the consolidated tax returns of OI Inc. and income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns. NATURE OF OPERATIONS. The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass container products. The Company's principal product lines in the Glass Containers product segment are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. The Company has glass container operations located in 19 countries. The principal markets and operations for the Company's glass products are in North America, Europe, South America, and Australia. One customer accounted for 11.5%, 10.9%, and 10.3% of the Company's sales in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, at which time the Company would revise its estimates accordingly. CASH. The Company defines "cash" as cash and time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The carrying amounts reported for cash, short-term investments and short-term loans approximate fair value. In addition, carrying amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value. INVENTORY VALUATION. The Company values most U.S. inventories at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Other inventories are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs) or market. EXCESS OF PURCHASE COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED. Through December 31, 2001, the excess of purchase cost over net assets acquired was being amortized over 40 years. The Company evaluated the recoverability of long-lived assets based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicate that an impairment may exist. (See "New Accounting Standards). F-41 PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT. In general, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Renewals and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. REVENUE RECOGNITION. The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when title to products is transferred to customers. Shipping and handling costs are included with manufacturing, shipping, and delivery costs. INCOME TAXES ON UNDISTRIBUTED EARNINGS. In general, the Company plans to continue to reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint ventures accounted for by the equity method. Accordingly, taxes are provided only on that amount of undistributed earnings in excess of planned reinvestments. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The assets and liabilities of certain affiliates and associates are translated at current exchange rates and any related translation adjustments are recorded directly in share owners' equity. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, the Company's affiliates located in Venezuela operated in a "highly inflationary" economy. As such, certain assets of these affiliates were translated at historical exchange rates and all translation adjustments are reflected in the statements of Consolidated Results of Operations. Effective January 1, 2002, the affiliates in Venezuela will no longer be considered operating in a "highly inflationary" economy. Assets and liabilities will be translated at current exchange rates with any related translation adjustments being recorded directly to net Parent investment. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," which is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Also in July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS No. 142"), which is effective for goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001. For goodwill acquired prior to July 1, 2001, FAS No. 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under FAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. The Company estimates that adopting FAS No. 142 will increase 2002 earnings before the effects of the accounting change by approximately $45 million. The Company has not completed its assessment of the effects that adopting FAS No. 142 will have on the reported value of goodwill. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS No. 144"). FAS No. 144 supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("FAS No. 121"). FAS No. 144 provides additional guidance on estimating cash flows when performing a recoverability test, requires that a long-lived asset (group) to be disposed of other than by sale (e.g. abandoned) be classified as "held and used" until it is disposed of, and establishes more restrictive criteria to classify an asset (group) as "held for sale", however it retains the fundamental provisions of FAS No. 121 related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be "held and used." FAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and transition is prospective for committed disposal activities that are initiated after the effective date of FAS No. 144's initial application. The impact of adopting FAS No. 144 on the Company's reporting and disclosure is not expected to be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. F-42 FINANCIAL REVIEW TABULAR DATA IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS CHANGES IN COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL RELATED TO OPERATIONS. Changes in the components of working capital related to operations (net of the effects related to acquisitions and divestitures) were as follows:
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Decrease (increase) in current assets: Short-term investments............................. $ 3.6 $ 12.0 $(15.2) Receivables........................................ 2.3 (35.1) 19.9 Net intercompany receivable........................ 17.2 (43.9) 11.0 Inventories........................................ 24.3 (19.5) (10.1) Prepaid expenses................................... 0.8 3.8 (25.3) Increase (decrease) in current liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities...........

If the inventories which are valued on the LIFO method had been valued at standard costs, which approximate current costs, consolidated inventories would be higher than reported by $14.7 million and $10.8 million, at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Inventories which are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs), or market at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were approximately $465.9 million and $420.0 million, respectively.

In April 2001, OI Group and certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries, including subsidiaries of the Company (the "Borrowers") entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with a group of banks, which expires on March 31, 2004. The Agreement provides for a $3.0 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $1.5 billion term loan (the "Term Loan"). The Agreement includes an Overdraft Account Facility providing for aggregate borrowings up to $50 million which reduce the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million, which also reduce the amount available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the Secured Credit Agreement, the Company's subsidiaries have a total commitment of $2.0 billion provided by the Revolving Credit Facility and a total commitment of $1.045 billion provided by the Term Loan. At December 31, 2001, the Company's subsidiaries had unused credit of $341.2 million available under the Secured Credit Agreement. Prior to April 2001, the Company's significant domestic financing was provided by OI Inc. under the April 1998 Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement through intercompany loans. Borrowings under the Secured Credit Agreement by the Company's subsidiaries and certain other domestic subsidiaries of OI Group were used to repay all amounts outstanding under, and terminate the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, at the Borrower's option, the Base Rate or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the F-44 Revolving Credit Facility also includes a margin linked to the Company's Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Agreement. The margin is limited to ranges of 1.75% to 2.00% for Eurodollar loans and .75% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. The interest rate on Overdraft Account loans is the Base Rate minus .50%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2001 was 4.12%. While no compensating balances are required by the Agreement, the Borrowers must pay a facility fee on the Revolving Credit Facility commitments of .50%. The interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan is, at the Borrowers' option, the Base Rate or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan also includes a margin of 2.50% for Eurodollar loans and 1.50% for Base Rate loans. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan at December 31, 2001 was 4.50%. The Agreement requires, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios, and restricts the creation of liens and certain types of business activities and investments. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, which have a book value of approximately $1.9 billion. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and certain stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. During January 2002, a subsidiary of the Company completed a $1.0 billion private placement of senior secured notes. The notes bear interest at 8 7/8% and are due February 15, 2009. The notes are guaranteed by OI Group and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries. The assets of substantially all of OI Group's domestic subsidiaries are pledged as security for the notes. The Company's subsidiary used substantially all the net cash proceeds from the notes to reduce its outstanding term loan under the Agreement by $980 million. As such, the Company wrote off unamortized deferred financing fees in January 2002 related to the term loan and recorded an extraordinary charge totaling $10.9 million less applicable income taxes of $4.2 million. The indenture for the notes restricts among other things, the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase stock, make investments, create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. Annual maturities for all of the Company's long-term debt through 2006 are as follows: 2002, $26.0 million; 2003, $43.0 million; 2004, $1,657.2 million; 2005, $70.9 million; and 2006, $5.0 million. These maturities reflect the issuance of the senior secured notes in January 2002 as noted above. Interest paid in cash aggregated $180.5 million for 2001, $117.7 million for 2000, and $116.6 million for 1999. GUARANTEES OF DEBT. The Company has guaranteed the borrowings of certain of OI Group's domestic subsidiaries totaling $850 million and has also guaranteed the borrowings of certain foreign subsidiaries under the Agreement. During the second quarter of 2001, OI Inc. sought and received consent from the holders of a majority of the principal amount of each of its six series of senior notes and debentures to amend the indenture governing those securities. The amendments implement a previously announced offer by OI Group and the Company to secure OI Inc.'s obligations under the indentures and the securities with a second lien on the intercompany debt and capital stock of their direct subsidiaries, including the Company. OI Group and the Company have also guaranteed OI Inc.'s obligations under the indentures. F-45 OPERATING LEASES. Rent expense attributable to all operating leases was $59.6 million in 2001, $44.1 million in 2000, and $43.2 million in 1999. Minimum future rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2002, $33.2 million; 2003, $26.2 million; 2004, $17.4 million; 2005, $12.2 million; 2006, $10.7 million; and 2007 and thereafter, $25.5 million. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Aggregate foreign currency exchange gains (losses) included in other costs and expenses were $3.9 million in 2001, $(0.4) million in 2000, and $4.4 million in 1999. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS. The terms of OI Inc.'s former bank credit agreement provided for foreign currency borrowings by certain of the Company's international affiliates. Such borrowings provided a natural hedge against a portion of the Company's investment. Under the April 2001 Secured Credit Agreement, international affiliates are only permitted to borrow in U.S. dollars. The Company's affiliates in Australia and the United Kingdom have entered into currency swaps covering their initial borrowings under the Agreement. These swaps are being used to manage the affiliates' exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates by swapping the principal and interest payments due under the Secured Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2001, the Company's affiliate in Australia has swapped $650.0 million of borrowings into $1,275.0 million Australian dollars. This swap matures on March 31, 2003, with interest resets every 90 days. The interest reset terms of the swap approximate the terms of the U.S. dollar borrowings. This derivative instrument swaps both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to Australian dollars and also swaps the interest rate from a U.S. based rate to an Australian based rate. The Company's affiliate in the United Kingdom has swapped $200.0 million of borrowings into 139.0 million British pounds. This swap also matures on March 31, 2003, with interest resets every 90 days. This derivative instrument swaps both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to British pounds and also swaps the interest rate from a U.S. based rate to a British rate. On October 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $150 million. The Company financed this purchase through borrowings under the Secured Credit Agreement, which were transferred to Canada through intercompany loans in U.S. dollars. The Company's affiliate in Canada has entered into swap transactions to manage the affiliate's exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates by swapping the principal and interest portion of the intercompany loan. At December 31, 2001, the Canadian affiliate has swapped $90.0 million of borrowings into $142.0 million Canadian dollars. This swap matures on October 1, 2003. This derivative instrument swaps both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars and also swaps the interest rate from a U.S. based rate to a Canadian based rate. The affiliate has also entered into a forward hedge related to the fourth quarter interest receivable and payable related to the previous swap. The affiliate has also entered in forward hedges which effectively swap $10.0 million of borrowings into $16.0 million Canadian dollars. These hedges swap both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars and mature monthly. The Company recognizes the above derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company accounts for the above swaps as fair value hedges. As such, the changes in the value of the swaps are included in other expense and are expected to substantially offset any exchange rate gains or losses on the related U.S. dollar borrowings. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the amount not offset was immaterial. The Company also uses commodity futures contracts related to forecasted natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid and the potential volatility in earnings or cash flows from future market price movements. During 2001, the Company entered into commodity futures contracts for approximately 75% of its domestic natural gas usage (approximately 1.2 billion BTUs) through March 2002. The Company has also entered into additional contracts in 2002 with respect to its forecasted natural gas usage through the end of 2002. F-46 The Company accounts for the above futures contracts on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets the required criteria for a cash flow hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI") and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. The above futures contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2001. Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting anticipated cash flows of the hedged transactions. For hedged forecasted transactions, hedge accounting will be discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable to occur, and any previously deferred gains or losses will be recorded to earnings immediately. During 2001, an unrealized net loss of $2.5 million (net of tax) related to these commodity futures contracts was included in OCI. There was no ineffectiveness recognized during the 2001. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS. Foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in certain derivative balances comprise accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss was as follows:
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Balance at beginning of year.............................. $(479.4) $(343.5) $(179.9) Net effect of exchange rate fluctuations..................

(2.5) ------- ------- ------- Balance at end of year.................................... $(547.9) $(479.4) $(343.5) ======= ======= =======
The net effect of exchange rate fluctuations generally reflects changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies between the beginning and end of the year. INCOME TAXES. Deferred income taxes reflect: (1) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (2) carryovers and credits for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (certain amounts from prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation):
2001 2000 -------- -------- Deferred tax assets: Tax loss carryovers....................................... $ 19.4 $ 15.3 Other..................................................... 139.8 130.3 ------- ------- Total deferred tax assets............................... 159.2 145.6 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment............................. 161.8 142.9 Inventory................................................. 35.8 39.2 Other..................................................... 117.6 75.7 ------- ------- Total deferred tax liabilities.......................... 315.2 257.8 ------- ------- Net deferred tax liabilities............................ $(156.0) $(112.2) ======= =======

The Company is included with OI Inc.'s consolidated tax returns. OI Inc. has net operating losses, alternative minimum tax credits, and research and development credits available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. At December 31, 2001, the Company's equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $529.9 million. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which would be payable should these earnings be distributed. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. Charges for administrative services are allocated to the Company by OI Inc. based on an annual utilization level. Such services include compensation and benefits administration, payroll processing, use of certain general accounting systems, auditing, income tax planning and compliance, and treasury services. Management believes that such transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Company than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. The following information summarizes the Company's significant related party transactions:

Intercompany interest is charged to the Company from OI Inc. based on intercompany debt balances. Intercompany interest expense is calculated using a weighted average interest rate of external borrowings by OI Inc. F-49 PARTICIPATION IN OI INC. STOCK OPTION PLANS. The Company participates in the stock option plans of OI Inc. under which employees of the Company may be granted options to purchase common shares of OI Inc. No options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to certain accelerated exercisability provisions, 50% of the options become exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the date of the option grant, with the remaining 50% becoming exercisable on the sixth anniversary date of the option grant. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant. All options have been granted at prices equal to the market price of the OI Inc.'s common stock on the date granted. Accordingly, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to the stock option plans. OI Inc. has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." A substantial number of the options have been granted to key employees of another subsidiary of OI Inc., some of whose compensation costs are included in an allocation of costs to all operating subsidiaries of OI Inc., including the Company. It is not practical to determine an amount of additional compensation allocable to the Company if OI Inc. had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as allowed by SFAS No. 123. PENSION BENEFIT PLANS. The Company participates in OI Inc.'s pension plans for substantially all employees located in the United States. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of service for hourly employees. OI Inc.'s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. Independent actuaries determine pension costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc. included in the plans; however, accumulated benefit obligation information and plan assets pertaining to each subsidiary have not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated benefit obligation and the plan assets related to the pension plans for domestic employees have been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc. Net credits to results of operations for the Company's allocated portion of the domestic pension costs amounted to $77.1 million in 2001, $82.9 million in 2000, and $67.2 million in 1999. On October 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. As part of the transaction, the Company assumed certain of the pension liabilities of Consumers Packaging. The information below includes the activity of these pension plans from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001. The Company's subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada also have pension plans covering substantially all employees. The following tables relate to the Company's principal United Kingdom, Australian and Canadian pension plans (the International Pension Plans). The changes in the International Pension Plans benefit obligations for the year were as follows:

2001 -------- Benefit obligations at the end of the year.................. $484.7 Fair value of plan assets at the end of the year............ 411.8 ======
The following information is for plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of plan assets:
2001 -------- Accumulated benefit obligations at the end of the year...... $145.8 Fair value of plan assets at the end of the year............ 131.5 ======
For the International Pension Plans, the actuarial present value of benefit obligations is based on a weighted discount rate of approximately 6.00% for 2001 and 5.25% for 2000. Future benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent with past experience of the plans, which, to the extent benefits are based on compensation, includes assumed salary increases on a weighted scale of approximately 4.00% for 2001 and 2000. The expected weighted long-term rate of return on assets was approximately 8.50% for 2001, 7.75% for 2000, and 6.75% for 1999. Amortization included in net pension credits is based on the average remaining service of employees. Plan assets include marketable equity securities, government and corporate debt securities, real estate and commingled funds. OI Inc. also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salaried and hourly U.S. employees of the Company. Participation is voluntary and participants' contributions are based on their compensation. OI Inc. matches substantially all plan participants' contributions up to various limits. OI Inc. charges the Company for its share of the match. The Company's share of the contributions to these plans amounted to $4.8 million in 2001, $5.6 million in 2000, and $5.8 million in 1999. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS. OI Inc. provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Independent actuaries determine postretirement benefit costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc.; however, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation information pertaining to each subsidiary has not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation has been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc. The Company's net periodic postretirement benefit cost, as allocated by OI Inc., for domestic employees was $4.8 million, $4.2 million, and $4.8 million at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. On October 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. The information below is the activity of the Canadian related retiree health care plan from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001. F-52 The changes in the Canadian postretirement benefit obligations were as follows:
2001 -------- Obligations at beginning of year............................ $ -- Change in benefit obligations: Service cost.............................................. 0.1 Interest cost............................................. 0.5 Actuarial loss............................................ 0.1 Acquisition............................................... 31.2 Benefit payments.......................................... (0.2) ----- Net change in benefit obligations....................... 31.7 ----- Obligations at end of year.................................. $31.7 =====
The funded status of the Canadian postretirement benefit plans at year end was as follows:
2001 -------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligations.............. $31.7 Net unrecognized items: Prior service credits..................................... -- Actuarial loss............................................ (0.1) ----- (0.1) ----- Nonpension postretirement benefit obligations............... $31.6 =====
The Company's nonpension postretirement benefit obligations are included with other long term liabilities on the balance sheet. The components of the Canadian net postretirement benefit cost were as follows:
2001 -------- Service cost................................................ $0.1 Interest cost............................................... 0.5 ---- Net postretirement benefit cost............................. $0.6 ====
Assumed health care cost inflation was based on a rate of 9.00% in 2001, declining to an ultimate rate of 5.50%. A one percentage point decrease in the rate would have decreased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by $4.1 million and decreased the net postretirement benefit cost for 2001 by $0.1 million. A one percentage point increase in the rate would have increased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by $5.1 million and increased the net postretirement benefit cost for 2001 by $0.1 million. The assumed weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 6.50% at December 31, 2001. F-53 Benefits provided by OI Inc. for certain of the hourly retirees of the Company are determined by collective bargaining. Most other domestic hourly retirees receive health and life insurance benefits from a multi-employer trust established by collective bargaining. Payments to the trust as required by the bargaining agreements are based upon specified amounts per hour worked and were $6.3 million in 2001, $7.5 million in 2000, and $8.0 million in 1999. Postretirement health and life benefits for retirees of foreign affiliates are generally provided through the national health care programs of the countries in which the affiliates are located. OTHER REVENUE. Other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 includes $10.3 million from the sale of a minerals business in Australia. Other revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 includes gains totaling $40.8 million related to the sales of a U.S. glass container plant and a mold manufacturing business in Colombia. OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 include pretax charges of $96.2 million related to the following: (1) charges of $65.2 million principally related to a restructuring program and impairment at certain of the Company's international and domestic operations. The charge includes the impairment of assets at the Company's affiliate in Puerto Rico and the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and the closing of a facility in Venezuela. The program also includes consolidation of capacity at certain other international and domestic facilities in response to decisions about pricing and market strategy; and (2) a charge of $31.0 million related to the loss on the sale of the Company's facilities in India; The Company expects its actions related to the restructuring and impairment charges to be completed during the next several quarters. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 include charges of $186.0 million principally related to a restructuring and capacity realignment program. The program, initiated in the third quarter of 2000, includes the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and a reduction of 175 employees in the U.S. salaried work force, or about 15%, principally as a result of early retirement incentives. Also included in the program are a write-down of plant and equipment for the Company's glass container affiliate in India and certain other asset write-offs. Charges for manufacturing capacity consolidations of $120.4 million principally involve U.S. glass container facilities and reflect technology-driven improvements in productivity, conversions from some juice and similar products to plastic containers, Company and customer decisions regarding pricing and volume, and the further concentration of production in the most strategically-located facilities. The Company expects that it will continue to make cash payments over the next several quarters for benefits and on-going closing costs related to the closing of these facilities. As a result of reducing the U.S. salaried workforce in 2000, the Company recognized a settlement gain of approximately $24 million related to its defined benefit pension plan. This gain has been included in the net charge of $22.0 million for early retirement incentives and special termination benefits. The 2000 pretax charge of $40.0 million was related to the write-down of property, plant, and equipment in India. Based on the Company's expectation of future net cash flows of its affiliate in India, the related property, plant, and equipment was written down to realizable values in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."

See accompanying Statement of Significant Accounting Policies and Financial Review. F-63 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS. The consolidated financial statements of Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc. ("Company") include the accounts of its subsidiaries. Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from dates of acquisition. Prior to December 2000, substantially all of the Company's consolidated foreign subsidiaries reported their results of operations on a one-month lag, which allowed additional time to compile the results. Beginning in December 2000, the one-month lag was eliminated. As a result, the December 2000 results of operations for these subsidiaries, which amounted to a net loss of $25.0 million, was recorded directly to retained earnings in December 2000. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has a significant ownership interest, generally 20% to 50%. Other investments are accounted for at cost. RELATIONSHIP WITH OWENS-BROCKWAY PACKAGING, INC., OWENS-ILLINOIS GROUP, INC. AND OWENS-ILLINOIS, INC. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. ("OB Packaging"), and an indirect subsidiary of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. ("OI Group") and Owens-Illinois, Inc. ("OI Inc."). Although OI Inc. does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations related to outstanding indebtedness, dividends for preferred stock and asbestos-related payments. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from its direct and indirect subsidiaries to meet these obligations. For federal and certain state income tax purposes, the taxable income of the Company is included in the consolidated tax returns of OI Inc. and income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns. NATURE OF OPERATIONS. The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass container products. The Company's principal product lines in the Glass Containers product segment are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. The Company has glass container operations located in 19 countries. The principal markets and operations for the Company's glass products are in North America, Europe, South America, and Australia. One customer accounted for 11.5%, 10.9%, and 10.3% of the Company's sales in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, at which time the Company would revise its estimates accordingly. CASH. The Company defines "cash" as cash and time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The carrying amounts reported for cash, short-term investments and short-term loans approximate fair value. In addition, carrying amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value. INVENTORY VALUATION. The Company values most U.S. inventories at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Other inventories are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs) or market. EXCESS OF PURCHASE COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED. Through December 31, 2001, the excess of purchase cost over net assets acquired was being amortized over 40 years. The Company evaluated the recoverability of long-lived assets based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicate that an impairment may exist. (See "New Accounting Standards"). F-64 PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT. In general, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Renewals and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. REVENUE RECOGNITION. The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when title to products is transferred to customers. Shipping and handling costs are included with manufacturing, shipping, and delivery costs. INCOME TAXES ON UNDISTRIBUTED EARNINGS. In general, the Company plans to continue to reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint ventures accounted for by the equity method. Accordingly, taxes are provided only on that amount of undistributed earnings in excess of planned reinvestments. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The assets and liabilities of certain affiliates and associates are translated at current exchange rates and any related translation adjustments are recorded directly in share owners' equity. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, the Company's affiliates located in Venezuela operated in a "highly inflationary" economy. As such, certain assets of these affiliates were translated at historical exchange rates and all translation adjustments are reflected in the statements of Consolidated Results of Operations. Effective January 1, 2002, the affiliates in Venezuela will no longer be considered operating in a "highly inflationary" economy. Assets and liabilities will be translated at current exchange rates with any related translation adjustments being recorded directly to net Parent investment. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," which is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Also in July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS No. 142"), which is effective for goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001. For goodwill acquired prior to July 1, 2001, FAS No. 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under FAS No. 142, Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. The Company estimates that adopting FAS No. 142 will increase 2002 earnings before the effects of the accounting change by approximately $45 million. The Company has not completed its assessment of the effects that adopting FAS No. 142 will have on the reported value of goodwill. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS No. 144"). FAS No. 144 supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("FAS No. 121"). FAS No. 144 provides additional guidance on estimating cash flows when performing a recoverability test, requires that a long-lived asset (group) to be disposed of other than by sale (e.g. abandoned) be classified as "held and used" until it is disposed of, and establishes more restrictive criteria to classify an asset (group) as "held for sale", however it retains the fundamental provisions of FAS No. 121 related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be "held and used." FAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and transition is prospective for committed disposal activities that are initiated after the effective date of FAS No. 144's initial application. The impact of adopting FAS No. 144 on the Company's reporting and disclosure is not expected to be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. F-65 FINANCIAL REVIEW TABULAR DATA IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS CHANGES IN COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL RELATED TO OPERATIONS. Changes in the components of working capital related to operations (net of the effects related to acquisitions and divestitures) were as follows:

If the inventories which are valued on the LIFO method had been valued at standard costs, which approximate current costs, consolidated inventories would be higher than reported by $14.7 million and $10.8 million, at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Inventories which are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs), or market at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were approximately $465.9 million and $420.0 million, respectively.

In April 2001, OI Group and certain of its subsidiaries, including the Company and certain of its foreign subsidiaries (the "Borrowers") entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with a group of banks, which expires on March 31, 2004. The Agreement provides for a $3.0 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $1.5 billion term loan (the "Term Loan"). The Agreement includes an Overdraft Account Facility providing for aggregate borrowings up to $50 million which reduce the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million, which also reduce the amount available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the Secured Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries have a total commitment of $2.0 billion provided by the Revolving Credit Facility and a total commitment of $1.045 billion F-67 provided by the Term Loan. At December 31, 2001, the Company and its subsidiaries had unused credit of $341.2 million available under the Secured Credit Agreement. Prior to April 2001, the Company's significant domestic financing was provided by OI Inc. under the April 1998 Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement through intercompany loans. Borrowings under the Secured Credit Agreement by the Company, its subsidiaries and certain other domestic subsidiaries of OI Group were used to repay all amounts outstanding under, and terminate the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, at the Borrower's option, the Base Rate or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a margin linked to the Company's Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Agreement. The margin is limited to ranges of 1.75% to 2.00% for Eurodollar loans and .75% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. The interest rate on Overdraft Account loans is the Base Rate minus .50%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2001 was 4.12%. While no compensating balances are required by the Agreement, the Borrowers must pay a facility fee on the Revolving Credit Facility commitments of .50%. The interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan is, at the Borrowers' option, the Base Rate or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan also includes a margin of 2.50% for Eurodollar loans and 1.50% for Base Rate loans. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan at December 31, 2001 was 4.50%. The Agreement requires, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios, and restricts the creation of liens and certain types of business activities and investments. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, its domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, which have a book value of approximately $1.9 billion. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and certain stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. During January 2002, the Company completed a $1.0 billion private placement of senior secured notes. The notes bear interest at 8 7/8% and are due February 15, 2009. The notes are guaranteed by OI Group and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries. The assets of substantially all of OI Group's domestic subsidiaries are pledged as security for the notes. The Company used substantially all the net cash proceeds from the notes to reduce its outstanding term loan under the Agreement by $980 million. As such, the Company wrote off unamortized deferred financing fees in January 2002 related to the term loan and recorded an extraordinary charge totaling $10.9 million less applicable income taxes of $4.2 million. The indenture for the notes restricts among other things, the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase stock, make investments, create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. Annual maturities for all of the Company's long-term debt through 2006 are as follows: 2002, $26.0 million; 2003, $43.0 million; 2004, $1,657.2 million; 2005, $70.9 million; and 2006, $5.0 million. These maturities reflect the issuance of the senior secured notes in January 2002 as noted above. Interest paid in cash aggregated $180.5 million for 2001, $117.7 million for 2000, and $116.6 million for 1999. GUARANTEES OF DEBT. The Company has guaranteed the borrowings of certain of OI Inc.'s domestic subsidiaries totaling $850 million and has also guaranteed the borrowings of certain foreign subsidiaries under the Agreement. F-68 OPERATING LEASES. Rent expense attributable to all operating leases was $59.6 million in 2001, $44.1 million in 2000, and $43.2 million in 1999. Minimum future rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2002, $33.2 million; 2003, $26.2 million; 2004, $17.4 million; 2005, $12.2 million; 2006, $10.7 million; and 2007 and thereafter, $25.5 million. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Aggregate foreign currency exchange gains (losses) included in other costs and expenses were $3.9 million in 2001, $(0.4) million in 2000, and $4.4 million in 1999. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS. The terms of OI Inc.'s former bank credit agreement provided for foreign currency borrowings by certain of the Company's international affiliates. Such borrowings provided a natural hedge against a portion of the Company's investment. Under the April 2001 Secured Credit Agreement, international affiliates are only permitted to borrow in U.S. dollars. The Company's affiliates in Australia and the United Kingdom have entered into currency swaps covering their initial borrowings under the Agreement. These swaps are being used to manage the affiliates' exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates by swapping the principal and interest payments due under the Secured Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2001, the Company's affiliate in Australia has swapped $650.0 million of borrowings into $1,275.0 million Australian dollars. This swap matures on March 31, 2003, with interest resets every 90 days. The interest reset terms of the swap approximate the terms of the U.S. dollar borrowings. This derivative instrument swaps both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to Australian dollars and also swaps the interest rate from a U.S. based rate to an Australian based rate. The Company's affiliate in the United Kingdom has swapped $200.0 million of borrowings into 139.0 million British pounds. This swap also matures on March 31, 2003, with interest resets every 90 days. This derivative instrument swaps both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to British pounds and also swaps the interest rate from a U.S. based rate to a British rate. On October 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $150 million. The Company financed this purchase through borrowings under the Secured Credit Agreement, which were transferred to Canada through intercompany loans in U.S. dollars. The Company's affiliate in Canada has entered into swap transactions to manage the affiliate's exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates by swapping the principal and interest portion of the intercompany loan. At December 31, 2001, the Canadian affiliate has swapped $90.0 million of borrowings into $142.0 million Canadian dollars. This swap matures on October 1, 2003. This derivative instrument swaps both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars and also swaps the interest rate from a U.S. based rate to a Canadian based rate. The affiliate has also entered into a forward hedge related to the fourth quarter interest receivable and payable related to the previous swap. The affiliate has also entered in forward hedges which effectively swap $10.0 million of borrowings into $16.0 million Canadian dollars. These hedges swap both the interest and principal from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars and mature monthly. The Company recognizes the above derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company accounts for the above swaps as fair value hedges. As such, the changes in the value of the swaps are included in other expense and are expected to substantially offset any exchange rate gains or losses on the related U.S. dollar borrowings. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the amount not offset was immaterial. The Company also uses commodity futures contracts related to forecasted natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid and the potential volatility in earnings or cash flows from future market price movements. During 2001, the Company entered into commodity futures contracts for approximately 75% of its domestic natural gas usage (approximately 1.2 billion BTUs) through March 2002. The Company has also entered into additional contracts in 2002 with respect to its forecasted natural gas usage through the end of 2002. F-69 The Company accounts for the above futures contracts on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets the required criteria for a cash flow hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI") and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. The above futures contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2001. Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting anticipated cash flows of the hedged transactions. For hedged forecasted transactions, hedge accounting will be discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable to occur, and any previously deferred gains or losses will be recorded to earnings immediately. During 2001, an unrealized net loss of $2.5 million (net of tax) related to these commodity futures contracts was included in OCI. There was no ineffectiveness recognized during the 2001. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS. Foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in certain derivative balances comprise accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss was as follows:
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Balance at beginning of year.............................. $(479.4) $(343.5) $(179.9) Net effect of exchange rate fluctuations..................

(2.5) ------- ------- ------- Balance at end of year.................................... $(547.9) $(479.4) $(343.5) ======= ======= =======
The net effect of exchange rate fluctuations generally reflects changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies between the beginning and end of the year. INCOME TAXES. Deferred income taxes reflect: (1) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (2) carryovers and credits for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (certain amounts from prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation):
2001 2000 -------- -------- Deferred tax assets: Tax loss carryovers....................................... $ 19.4 $ 15.3 Other..................................................... 139.8 130.3 ------- ------- Total deferred tax assets............................... 159.2 145.6 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment............................. 161.8 142.9 Inventory................................................. 35.8 39.2 Other..................................................... 117.6 75.7 ------- ------- Total deferred tax liabilities.......................... 315.2 257.8 ------- ------- Net deferred tax liabilities............................ $(156.0) $(112.2) ======= =======

The Company is included with OI Inc.'s consolidated tax returns. OI Inc. has net operating losses, alternative minimum tax credits, and research and development credits available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. At December 31, 2001, the Company's equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $529.9 million. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which would be payable should these earnings be distributed. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. Charges for administrative services are allocated to the Company by OI Inc. based on an annual utilization level. Such services include compensation and benefits administration, payroll processing, use of certain general accounting systems, auditing, income tax planning and compliance, and treasury services. Management believes that such transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Company than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. The following information summarizes the Company's significant related party transactions:

Intercompany interest is charged to the Company from OI Inc. based on intercompany debt balances. Intercompany interest expense is calculated using a weighted average interest rate of external borrowings by OI Inc. F-72 PARTICIPATION IN OI INC. STOCK OPTION PLANS. The Company participates in the stock option plans of OI Inc. under which employees of the Company may be granted options to purchase common shares of OI Inc. No options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to certain accelerated exercisability provisions, 50% of the options become exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the date of the option grant, with the remaining 50% becoming exercisable on the sixth anniversary date of the option grant. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant. All options have been granted at prices equal to the market price of the OI Inc.'s common stock on the date granted. Accordingly, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to the stock option plans. OI Inc. has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." A substantial number of the options have been granted to key employees of another subsidiary of OI Inc., some of whose compensation costs are included in an allocation of costs to all operating subsidiaries of OI Inc., including the Company. It is not practical to determine an amount of additional compensation allocable to the Company if OI Inc. had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as allowed by SFAS No. 123. PENSION BENEFIT PLANS. The Company participates in OI Inc.'s pension plans for substantially all employees located in the United States. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of service for hourly employees. OI Inc.'s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. Independent actuaries determine pension costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc. included in the plans; however, accumulated benefit obligation information and plan assets pertaining to each subsidiary have not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated benefit obligation and the plan assets related to the pension plans for domestic employees have been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc. Net credits to results of operations for the Company's allocated portion of the domestic pension costs amounted to $77.1 million in 2001, $82.9 million in 2000, and $67.2 million in 1999. On October 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. As part of the transaction, the Company assumed certain of the pension liabilities of Consumers Packaging. The information below includes the activity of these pension plans from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001. The Company's subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada also have pension plans covering substantially all employees. The following tables relate to the Company's principal United Kingdom, Australian and Canadian pension plans (the International Pension Plans). The changes in the International Pension Plans benefit obligations for the year were as follows:

2001 -------- Benefit obligations at the end of the year.................. $484.7 Fair value of plan assets at the end of the year............ 411.8 ======
The following information is for plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of plan assets:
2001 -------- Accumulated benefit obligations at the end of the year...... $145.8 Fair value of plan assets at the end of the year............ 131.5 ======
For the International Pension Plans, the actuarial present value of benefit obligations is based on a weighted discount rate of approximately 6.00% for 2001 and 5.25% for 2000. Future benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent with past experience of the plans, which, to the extent benefits are based on compensation, includes assumed salary increases on a weighted scale of approximately 4.00% for 2001 and 2000. The expected weighted long-term rate of return on assets was approximately 8.50% for 2001, 7.75% for 2000, and 6.75% for 1999. Amortization included in net pension credits is based on the average remaining service of employees. Plan assets include marketable equity securities, government and corporate debt securities, real estate and commingled funds. OI Inc. also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salaried and hourly U.S. employees of the Company. Participation is voluntary and participants' contributions are based on their compensation. OI Inc. matches substantially all plan participants' contributions up to various limits. OI Inc. charges the Company for its share of the match. The Company's share of the contributions to these plans amounted to $4.8 million in 2001, $5.6 million in 2000, and $5.8 million in 1999. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS. OI Inc. provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Independent actuaries determine postretirement benefit costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc.; however, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation information pertaining to each subsidiary has not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation has been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc. The Company's net periodic postretirement benefit cost, as allocated by OI Inc., for domestic employees was $4.8 million, $4.2 million, and $4.8 million at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. On October 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Canadian glass container assets of Consumers Packaging Inc. The information below is the activity of the Canadian related F-75 retiree health care plan from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001. The changes in the Canadian postretirement benefit obligations were as follows:
2001 -------- Obligations at beginning of year............................ $ -- Change in benefit obligations: Service cost.............................................. 0.1 Interest cost............................................. 0.5 Actuarial loss............................................ 0.1 Acquisition............................................... 31.2 Benefit payments.......................................... (0.2) ----- Net change in benefit obligations....................... 31.7 ----- Obligations at end of year.................................. $31.7 =====
The funded status of the Canadian postretirement benefit plans at year end was as follows:
2001 -------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligations.............. $31.7 Net unrecognized items: Prior service credits..................................... -- Actuarial loss............................................ (0.1) ----- (0.1) ----- Nonpension postretirement benefit obligations............... $31.6 =====
The Company's nonpension postretirement benefit obligations are included with other long term liabilities on the balance sheet. The components of the Canadian net postretirement benefit cost were as follows:
2001 -------- Service cost................................................ $0.1 Interest cost............................................... 0.5 ---- Net postretirement benefit cost............................. $0.6 ====
Assumed health care cost inflation was based on a rate of 9.00% in 2001, declining to an ultimate rate of 5.50%. A one percentage point decrease in the rate would have decreased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by $4.1 million and decreased the net postretirement benefit cost for 2001 by $0.1 million. A one percentage point increase in the rate would have increased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by $5.1 million and increased the net postretirement benefit cost for 2001 by $0.1 million. The assumed weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 6.50% at December 31, 2001. Benefits provided by OI Inc. for certain of the hourly retirees of the Company are determined by collective bargaining. Most other domestic hourly retirees receive health and life insurance benefits from a multi-employer trust established by collective bargaining. Payments to the trust as required by the bargaining agreements are based upon specified amounts per hour worked and were $6.3 million in 2001, $7.5 million in 2000, and $8.0 million in 1999. Postretirement health and life benefits for retirees of foreign affiliates are generally provided through the national health care programs of the countries in which the affiliates are located. F-76 OTHER REVENUE. Other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 includes $10.3 million from the sale of a minerals business in Australia. Other revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 includes gains totaling $40.8 million related to the sales of a U.S. glass container plant and a mold manufacturing business in Colombia. OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 include pretax charges of $96.2 million related to the following: (1) charges of $65.2 million principally related to a restructuring program and impairment at certain of the Company's international and domestic operations. The charge includes the impairment of assets at the Company's affiliate in Puerto Rico and the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and the closing of a facility in Venezuela. The program also includes consolidation of capacity at certain other international and domestic facilities in response to decisions about pricing and market strategy; and (2) a charge of $31.0 million related to the loss on the sale of the Company's facilities in India; The Company expects its actions related to the restructuring and impairment charges to be completed during the next several quarters. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 include charges of $186.0 million principally related to a restructuring and capacity realignment program. The program, initiated in the third quarter of 2000, includes the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and a reduction of 175 employees in the U.S. salaried work force, or about 15%, principally as a result of early retirement incentives. Also included in the program are a write-down of plant and equipment for the Company's glass container affiliate in India and certain other asset write-offs. Charges for manufacturing capacity consolidations of $120.4 million principally involve U.S. glass container facilities and reflect technology-driven improvements in productivity, conversions from some juice and similar products to plastic containers, Company and customer decisions regarding pricing and volume, and the further concentration of production in the most strategically-located facilities. The Company expects that it will continue to make cash payments over the next several quarters for benefits and on-going closing costs related to the closing of these facilities. As a result of reducing the U.S. salaried workforce in 2000, the Company recognized a settlement gain of approximately $24 million related to its defined benefit pension plan. This gain has been included in the net charge of $22.0 million for early retirement incentives and special termination benefits. The 2000 pretax charge of $40.0 million was related to the write-down of property, plant, and equipment in India. Based on the Company's expectation of future net cash flows of its affiliate in India, the related property, plant, and equipment was written down to realizable values in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."

See accompanying Statement of Significant Accounting Policies and Financial Review. F-86 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS. The consolidated financial statements of OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. ("Company") include the accounts of its subsidiaries. During January 2002, OI Closure FTS, Inc, another subsidiary of Owens-Illinois Inc., was merged into the Company. Since both entities were under common control of Owens-Illinois Inc., the consolidated statement of operations, net parent investment, and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2001 and the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2001 and 2000 include OI Closure FTS, Inc. for all periods at historical cost. Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from dates of acquisition. Prior to December 2000, substantially all of the Company's consolidated foreign subsidiaries reported their results of operations on a one-month lag, which allowed additional time to compile the results. Beginning in December 2000, the one-month lag was eliminated. As a result, the December 2000 results of operations for these subsidiaries, which amounted to a net loss of $1.8 million, was recorded directly to retained earnings in December 2000. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has a significant ownership interest, generally 20% to 50%. Other investments are accounted for at cost. RELATIONSHIP WITH OWENS-ILLINOIS, INC. AND OWENS-ILLINOIS, GROUP INC. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. ("OI Group") and an indirect subsidiary of Owens-Illinois, Inc. ("OI Inc."). Although OI Inc. does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations related to outstanding indebtedness, dividends for preferred stock and asbestos-related payments. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from its direct and indirect subsidiaries to meet these obligations. For federal and certain state income tax purposes, the taxable income of the Company is included in the consolidated tax returns of OI Inc. and income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns. Current income taxes are recorded by the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns. NATURE OF OPERATIONS. The Company is a leading manufacturer of plastics packaging products. The Company's principal product lines are plastic containers, closures and plastic prescription containers. The Company's principal operations are in North America, however, the Company does have minor operations in Europe and South America. Major markets include the United States household products, personal care products, health care products, and food and beverage industries. One customer accounted for 18.0%, 13.0%, and 12.1% of the Company's sales in 2001, 2000, and 1999 respectively. USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, at which time the Company would revise its estimates accordingly. CASH. The Company defines "cash" as cash and time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The carrying amounts reported for cash, short-term investments and short-term loans approximate fair value. In addition, carrying amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined interest rates. The Company is not a party to any material derivative financial instruments. INVENTORY VALUATION. The Company values most U.S. inventories at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Other inventories are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs) or market. F-87 EXCESS OF PURCHASE COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED. Through December 31, 2001, the excess of purchase cost over net assets acquired was being amortized over 40 years. The Company evaluated the recoverability of long-lived assets based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicated that an impairment may have existed. (See "New Accounting Standards"). PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT. In general, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Renewals and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. REVENUE RECOGNITION. The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when title to products is transferred to customers. Shipping and handling costs are included with manufacturing, shipping, and delivery costs. INCOME TAXES ON UNDISTRIBUTED EARNINGS. In general, the Company plans to continue to reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint ventures accounted for by the equity method. Accordingly, taxes are provided only on that amount of undistributed earnings in excess of planned reinvestments. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The assets and liabilities of most affiliates and associates are translated at current exchange rates and any related translation adjustments are recorded directly in share owners' equity. The Company's affiliate located in Venezuela operates in a highly inflationary economy. In such cases, certain assets of this affiliate are translated at historical exchange rates and all translation adjustments are reflected in the statements of consolidated results of operations. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" which is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Also in July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS No. 142"), which is effective for goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001. For goodwill acquired prior to July 1, 2001, FAS No. 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under FAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. The Company estimates that adopting FAS No. 142 will increase 2002 earnings before the effects of the accounting change by approximately $45 million. The Company has not completed its assessment of the effects that adopting FAS No. 142 will have on the reported value of goodwill, however, the Company expects that it will record an impairment charge in 2002 in connection with adopting FAS No. 142. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS No. 144"). FAS No. 144 supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("FAS No. 121"). FAS No. 144 provides additional guidance on estimating cash flows when performing a recoverability test, requires that a long-lived asset (group) to be disposed of other than by sale (e.g. abandoned) be classified as "held and used" until it is disposed of, and establishes more restrictive criteria to classify an asset (group) as "held for sale"; however, it retains the fundamental provisions of FAS No. 121 related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be "held and used." FAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and transition is prospective for committed disposal activities that are initiated after the effective date of FAS No. 144's initial application. The impact of adopting FAS No. 144 on the Company's reporting and disclosure is not expected to be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. F-88 FINANCIAL REVIEW TABULAR DATA IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. CHANGES IN COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL RELATED TO OPERATIONS. Changes in the components of working capital related to operations (net of the effects related to acquisitions and divestitures) were as follows:
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Decrease (increase) in current assets: Receivables............................................... $ (2.6) $ 1.5 $(39.2) Inventories............................................... 20.0 (31.6) (34.8) Prepaid expenses.......................................... 3.4 2.7 (2.3) Increase (decrease) in current liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities.................. 19.2 (6.9) 12.5 Salaries and wages........................................ 2.0 (0.1) 0.6 U.S. and foreign income taxes............................. (6.3) (48.8) 53.2 ------ ------ ------ $ 35.7 $(83.2) $(10.0) ====== ====== ======
INVENTORIES. Major classes of inventory are as follows:
2001 2000 -------- -------- Finished goods.............................................. $133.7 $157.4 Work in process............................................. 0.3 3.8 Raw materials............................................... 71.7 72.6 Operating supplies.......................................... 17.2 15.4 ------ ------ $222.9 $249.2 ====== ======
If the inventories which are valued on the LIFO method had been valued at standard costs, which approximate current costs, consolidated inventories would be higher than reported by $5.2 million and $10.5 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Inventories which are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs), or market at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were approximately $34.0 million and $33.4 million, respectively. EXTERNAL LONG-TERM DEBT. The following table summarizes the external long-term debt of the Company at December 31, 2001 and 2000:
DECEMBER 31 ------------------- 2001 2000 -------- -------- Secured Credit Agreement: Revolving Credit Facility................................. $850.0 Other....................................................... 6.2 $11.8 ------ ----- 856.2 11.8 Less amounts due within one year............................ 4.9 4.6 ------ ----- External long-term debt................................... $851.3 $ 7.2 ====== =====
In April 2001, OI Group and certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries, including the Company (the "Borrowers") entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with a group of banks, which expires on March 31, 2004. The Agreement provides for a $3.0 billion revolving F-89 credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $1.5 billion term loan (the "Term Loan"). The Agreement includes an Overdraft Account Facility providing for aggregate borrowings up to $50 million which reduce the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million, which also reduce the amount available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the Secured Credit Agreement, the Company has a total commitment of $1.0 billion provided by the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has no commitment available under the Term Loan. At December 31, 2001, the Company had unused credit of $150.0 million available under the Secured Credit Agreement. Prior to April 2001, the Company's significant financing was provided by OI Inc. under the April 1998 Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement through intercompany loans. Borrowings under the Secured Credit Agreement by the Company and certain other domestic and foreign subsidiaries of OI Group were used to repay all amounts outstanding under, and terminate, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, at the Borrower's option, the Base Rate or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a margin linked to OI Inc.'s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Agreement. The margin is limited to ranges of 1.75% to 2.00% for Eurodollar loans and .75% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. The interest rate on Overdraft Account loans is the Base Rate minus .50%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2001 was 4.17%. While no compensating balances are required by the Agreement, the Borrowers must pay a facility fee on the Revolving Credit Facility commitments of .50%. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The Agreement requires, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios, and restricts the creation of liens and certain types of business activities and investments. Annual maturities for all of the Company's external long-term debt through 2006 are as follows: 2002, $4.9 million; 2003, $0.5 million; 2004, $850.3 million; 2005, $0.2 million; and 2006, $0.2 million. Interest paid in cash aggregated $31.7 million for 2001, $0.9 million for 2000, and $1.1 million for 1999. GUARANTEES OF DEBT. The Company has guaranteed the borrowings of certain of OI Inc.'s domestic subsidiaries totaling $2,605.4 and has also guaranteed the borrowings of certain foreign affiliates under the Agreement. During January 2002, an affiliate of the Company completed a $1.0 billion private placement of senior secured notes. The assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries are pledged as security for the notes. The Company has guaranteed these notes. OPERATING LEASES. Rent expense attributable to all operating leases was $21.9 million in 2001, $19.1 million in 2000, and $17.4 million in 1999. Minimum future rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2002, $9.0 million; 2003, $5.0 million; 2004, $1.5 million; 2005, $0.6 million; 2006, $0.5 million; and 2007 and thereafter, $2.2 million. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Aggregate foreign currency exchange gains (losses) included in other costs and expenses were $(1.3) million in 2001, $(0.7) million in 2000, and $0.5 million in 1999. F-90 INCOME TAXES. Deferred income taxes reflect: (1) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (2) carryovers and credits for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (certain amounts from prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation):
2001 2000 -------- -------- Deferred tax assets: Tax loss carryovers....................................... $ 10.9 $ 5.3 Accrued liabilities....................................... 20.9 6.6 Other..................................................... 24.2 16.8 ------- ------- Total deferred tax assets............................... 56.0 28.7 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment............................. 151.8 142.6 Inventory................................................. 1.6 1.6 Other..................................................... 37.0 39.3 ------- ------- Total deferred tax liabilities.......................... 190.4 183.5 ------- ------- Net deferred tax liabilities............................ $(134.4) $(154.8) ======= =======

The Company is included with OI Inc.'s consolidated tax returns. OI Inc. has net operating losses, alternative minimum tax credits, and research and development credits available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. At December 31, 2001, the Company's equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $32.7 million. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which would be payable should these earnings be distributed. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. Charges for administrative services are allocated to the Company by OI Inc. based on an annual utilization level. Such services include compensation and benefits administration, payroll processing, use of certain general accounting systems, auditing, income tax planning and compliance, and treasury services. Management believes that such transactions are on F-92 terms no less favorable to the Company than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. The following information summarizes the Company's significant related party transactions:

Intercompany interest is charged to the Company from OI Inc. based on its ending intercompany debt balances. Intercompany interest expense is calculated using a weighted average interest rate of external borrowings by OI Inc. PARTICIPATION IN OI INC. STOCK OPTION PLANS. The Company participates in the stock option plans of OI Inc. under which employees of the Company may be granted options to purchase common shares of OI Inc. No options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to certain accelerated exercisability provisions, 50% of the options become exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the date of the option grant, with the remaining 50% becoming exercisable on the sixth anniversary date of the option grant. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant. All options have been granted at prices equal to the market price of the OI Inc.'s common stock on the date granted. Accordingly, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to the stock option plans. OI Inc. has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." A substantial number of the options have been granted to key employees of another subsidiary of OI Inc., some of whose compensation costs are included in an allocation of costs to all operating subsidiaries of OI Inc., including the Company. It is not practical to determine an amount of additional compensation allocable to the Company if OI Inc. had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as allowed by SFAS No. 123. PENSION BENEFIT PLANS. The Company participates in OI Inc.'s pension plans for substantially all employees located in the United States. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of service for hourly employees. OI Inc.'s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. Independent actuaries determine pension costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc. included in the plans; however, accumulated benefit obligation information and plan assets pertaining to each subsidiary have not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated benefit obligation and the plan assets related to the pension plans for domestic employees have been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc. Net credits to results of operations for the Company's allocated portion of the domestic pension costs amounted to $13.6 million in 2001, $15.1 million in 2000, and $9.0 million in 1999. F-93 OI Inc. also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salaried and hourly U.S. employees of the Company. Participation is voluntary and participants' contributions are based on their compensation. OI Inc. matches substantially all plan participants' contributions up to various limits. OI Inc. charges the Company for its share of the match. The Company's share of the contributions to these plans amounted to $3.5 million in 2001, $3.9 million in 2000, and $4.0 million in 1999. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS. OI Inc. provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Independent actuaries determine postretirement benefit costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc.; however, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation information pertaining to each subsidiary has not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation has been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc. The Company's net periodic postretirement benefit cost, as allocated by OI Inc., was $2.3 million, $1.9 million, and $2.3 million at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. OTHER REVENUE. Other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 includes $2.8 million from the sale of the Company's label business. OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 include: (1) net charges of $16.9 million consisting of $22.1 million for impairment and restructuring charges at certain of the Company's operations offset by a $5.2 million reversal of a prior charge; (2) $7.9 million related to restructuring manufacturing capacity in the medical devices business; and (3) $8.5 million for certain contingencies. The Company expects its actions related to the restructuring and impairment charges to be completed during the next several quarters. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 include charges of $11.2 million principally related to a restructuring and capacity realignment program. The restructuring and capacity realignment program, initiated in the third quarter of 2000, includes the consolidation of manufacturing capacity and a reduction of 100 employees in the U.S. salaried work force, or about 5%, principally as a result of early retirement incentives. As a result of the approximate 5% reduction of the U.S. salaried workforce in 2000, the Company recognized a settlement gain of approximately $8.0 million related to its defined benefit pension plan. This gain has been included in the net charge of $9.2 million for early retirement incentives and special termination benefits. F-94 Selected information relating to restructuring accruals follows:

Write-downs of assets represent the majority of the charges for 2001. F-95 OWENS-BROCKWAY GLASS CONTAINER INC.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS The Company is a Delaware corporation. Subsection (b)(7) of Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any director or officer, or former director or officer, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding provided that such director or officer acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided further that such director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any director or officer, or former director or officer, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for, by, or granted pursuant to Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145. Section 8 of the Certificate of Incorporation (filed as Exhibit 3.1) of the Company, as amended, provides for the elimination of liability of directors to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. Article III, Section 13 of the By-Laws of the Company (filed as Exhibit 3.6) provides for indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law. II-1 The Company has in effect insurance policies in the amount of $60 million covering all of its directors and officers. ITEM 21. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES. A list of exhibits filed with this registration statement on Form S-4 is set forth on the Exhibit Index and is incorporated in this Item 21 by reference. ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

The board of directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in a resolution of the board of directors, shall have and may exercise all the power and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation (except that a committee may, to the extent authorized in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the board of directors, fix the designations and any of the preferences or rights of such shares relating to 7 dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of assets of the Corporation or the conversion into, or the exchange of such shares for, shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation or fix the number of shares of any series of stock or authorize the increase or decrease of the shares of any series), adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending the By-Laws of the Corporation; and, unless the resolution, By-Laws, or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock, or to adopt a Certificate of Ownership and Merger. Section 11. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the board of directors when required. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Section 12. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the board of directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings. 8 INDEMNIFICATION Section 13. The Corporation shall indemnify every person who was or is a party or is or was threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or, while a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including counsel fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the full extent permitted by applicable law. Expenses incurred by a person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation in appearing at, participating in or defending any such action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation at reasonable intervals in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by, or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by this Section 13. If a claim under this Section 13 is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law or other 9 applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. ARTICLE IV OFFICERS Section 1. The officers of the Corporation shall be chosen by the board of directors and shall include a president, a vice president and a secretary. The Corporation may also have at the discretion of the board of directors such other officers as are desired, including a chairman of the board, additional vice presidents, one or more assistant secretaries, a treasurer, one or more assistant treasurers, and such other officers as may be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Article IV. In the event there are two or more vice presidents, then one or more may be designated as executive vice president, senior vice president, vice president marketing, or other similar or dissimilar title. At the time of the election of officers, the directors may by resolution determine the order of their rank.

The vice presidents shall have such other duties as from time to time may be prescribed for them, respectively, by the board of directors. SECRETARY AND ASSISTANT SECRETARIES Section 9. The secretary shall record the proceedings of the meetings of the stockholders and directors in a book to be kept for that purpose; and shall perform like duties for the standing committees when required by the board of directors. He shall give, or cause to be given, notice of all meetings of the stockholders and of the board of directors, and shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the board of directors or these By-Laws. He shall keep in safe custody the seal of the Corporation, and affix the same to any instrument requiring it, and when so affixed it shall be attested by his signature or by the signature of an assistant secretary. The board of directors may give general authority to any other officer to affix the seal of the Corporation and to attest the affixing by his signature. 12 Section 10. The assistant secretary, or if there be more than one, the assistant secretaries in the order determined by the board of directors, or if there be no such determination, the assistant secretary designated by the board of directors, shall, in the absence or disability of the secretary, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the secretary and shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the board of directors may from time to time prescribe.

If required by the board of directors, he shall give the Corporation a bond, in such sum and with such surety or sureties as shall be satisfactory to the board of directors, for the faithful performance of the duties of his office and for the restoration to the Corporation, in case of his death, resignation, retirement or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money and other property of whatever kind in his possession or under his control belonging to the Corporation. Section 12. The assistant treasurer, or if there shall be more than one, the assistant treasurers in the order determined by the board of directors, or if there be no such determination, 13 the assistant treasurer designated by the board of directors, shall, in the absence or disability of the treasurer, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the treasurer and shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the board of directors may from time to time prescribe.

When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(i) GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES.

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Securities and Definitive Securities at the Registrar's request. (ii) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.09, 3.06 or 9.04). (iii) All Global Securities and Definitive Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Securities or Definitive Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Securities or Definitive Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. (iv) The Company and the Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Securities of that series for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part or (c) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Security between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. SECTION 2.07. REPLACEMENT SECURITIES. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series if the Company's and the Trustee's requirements are met. The Trustee or the Company may require an indemnity bond to be furnished which is sufficient in the judgment of both to protect the Company, the Trustee, and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its expenses in replacing a Security. Every replacement Security is an obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all the benefit of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series. SECTION 2.08. OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. The Securities of any series outstanding at any time are all the Securities of that series authenticated by the Trustee, except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in the final paragraph of this Section 2.08, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 28 If Securities are considered paid under Section 4.01, they cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. For each series of Original Issue Discount Securities, the principal amount of such Securities that shall be deemed to be outstanding and used to determine whether the necessary Holders have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver shall be the principal amount of such Securities that could be declared to be due and payable upon acceleration upon an Event of Default as of the date of such determination. When requested by the Trustee, the Company shall advise the Trustee of such amount, showing its computations in reasonable detail. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of any series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities as to which a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge are so owned shall be so disregarded. SECTION 2.09. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Holders of temporary securities shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. SECTION 2.10. CANCELLATION. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and the Trustee shall destroy cancelled securities and provide a certificate of destruction to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.11. DEFAULTED INTEREST. If the Company fails to make a payment of interest on any series of Securities, it shall pay such defaulted interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such defaulted interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Securities on which the interest is due on a subsequent special record date, which special record date shall be fixed in the following manner. 29 The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable, equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at the address as it appears in the register of Securities referred to in Section 2.03, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on such special record date. SECTION 2.12. SPECIAL RECORD DATES. (a) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for the purpose of determining the identity of Holders entitled to consent to any supplement, amendment or waiver permitted by this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of Securities of that series outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to consent to such supplement, amendment or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Securities of that series required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period. (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of any series of Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of any notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration, any request to institute proceedings or any other similar direction. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of Securities of that series outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the date 90 days after such record date. (c) The Company, in the event of defaulted interest, shall set a special record date in accordance with Section 2.11. SECTION 2.13. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. The Company in issuing any series of Securities may use "CUSIP" or "ISIN" numbers or both numbers, and, if so used, the Trustee shall use such "CUSIP" or "ISIN" 30 numbers or both numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on such Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on such Securities, and any such action relating to such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers in such notice. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" or "ISIN" numbers. ARTICLE 3. REDEMPTION SECTION 3.01. NOTICES TO TRUSTEE. If the Company elects to redeem Securities of any series pursuant to any optional redemption or change of control provisions thereof, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice provided for in this Section at least 45 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), which notice shall specify the provisions of such Security pursuant to which the Company elects to redeem such Securities. If the Company elects to reduce the principal amount of Securities of any series to be redeemed pursuant to mandatory redemption provisions thereof, it shall notify the Trustee of the amount of, and the basis for, any such reduction. If the Company elects to credit against any such mandatory redemption Securities it has not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, it shall deliver such Securities with such notice. SECTION 3.02. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. If less than all of any series of Securities are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Securities for redemption as follows: (1) if the Securities are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed; or (2) if the Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. Except as otherwise provided as to any particular series of Securities, Securities and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of more than $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly in writing of the Securities or portions of Securities to be called for redemption. 31 SECTION 3.03. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Except as otherwise provided as to any particular series of Securities, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register of Securities referred to in Section 2.03. Notices of redemption shall not be conditional. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. The notice shall identify the Securities of the series to be redeemed and shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the redemption price fixed in accordance with the terms of the Securities of the series to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption (the "REDEMPTION PRICE"); (3) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued; (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; (6) that, unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; and (7) the CUSIP number or ISIN number, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed. At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at its expense. The notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice of the Holder of any Security shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Security. SECTION 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Securities called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. Upon surrender to the 32 Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on the Securities or portions of them called for redemption. SECTION 3.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any Affiliate is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Securities called for redemption on that date other than Securities that have previously been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company any money not required for that purpose. SECTION 3.06. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Security of same series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, 33 HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03. SECTION 4.03. COMMISSION REPORTS.

OI Group also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's or the Guarantors' compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates). 34 SECTION 4.04.

Upon such declaration the Principal (or such lesser amount) and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 occurs, all outstanding Securities shall become and be due and payable immediately without any declaration, act or notice.

SECTION 6.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy with respect to that series available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that is unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder of Securities of that series, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action which it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction. SECTION 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS. A Holder of Securities of any series may not pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Securities of any series, any Guarantee of Securities or any Collateral Documents, if any, unless: (a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to that series; (b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (c) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 30 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and (e) during such 30-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

SECTION 6.07. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of Principal of and interest, if any, on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder; PROVIDED that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien. SECTION 6.08. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of Principal (or such portion of the Principal as may be specified as due upon acceleration at that time in the terms of that series of Securities) and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Securities of that series then outstanding, together with (to the extent lawful) interest on overdue Principal and interest, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and, to the extent lawful, expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 41 SECTION 6.10. PRIORITIES. If the Trustee collects any money with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to this Article (including without limitation any amounts received in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), it shall pay out the money in the following order: First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of such series for Principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such series for Principal and interest, respectively; and Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct; PROVIDED, however, that in the case of amounts received from the distribution of payments pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or any other proceeds of Collateral securing any series of Securities, such amounts shall not be distributed to the Company but shall rather be held by the Trustee, in trust, for subsequent application in accordance with the Securities of such series and this Indenture to the payment of Principal of and interest on the Securities upon the earlier to occur of (i) any scheduled or mandatory payment of Principal, optional redemption or payment of accrued interest on the Securities of such series, in any such case as directed in writing by the Company, and (ii) the acceleration of the maturity of the Securities of that series pursuant to Section 6.02 (including an acceleration by reason of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (7) or (8)).

At such time as no Securities of any series remain outstanding, any excess money held by the Trustee shall be paid to the Company. The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities of any series pursuant to this Section. The Trustee shall notify the Company in writing reasonably in advance of any such record date and payment date. SECTION 6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good 42 faith of the claims or defense made by the party litigant.

ARTICLE 7. TRUSTEE SECTION 7.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default known to the Trustee: (i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture or the TIA and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture or the TIA and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.

Subject to TIA Section 315(a) through (d): (a) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

(f) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and may rely upon the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel.

(i) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Article 4 (other than the delivery of Officers' Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04) is for informational purposes only and the Trustees' receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers' Certificates). SECTION 7.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311. SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication. SECTION 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to all Holders of Securities of that series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 60 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment on any such Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of such Holders. SECTION 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall mail to Holders of Securities of that series as provided in TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (if such report is required by TIA Section 313(a)). The Trustee shall also comply with TIA Section 313(b). A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which any of the Securities are listed, as required by TIA Section 313(d). The Company shall notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange. 45 SECTION 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its services hereunder. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon written request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel. The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee for any loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it, without negligence or bad faith on its part, in connection with the administration of this Indenture and its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent. To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay Principal and interest on particular Securities. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or (5) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services shall be intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law. This Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture. SECTION 7.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. A resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to one or more or all series of Securities and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by 30 days notice to the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee as to that series by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company's consent. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to one or more or all series of Securities if: (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 46 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. If, as to any series of Securities, the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee for that series. Within one year after the successor Trustee with respect to any series takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If a successor Trustee as to a particular series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 with respect to any series, any Holder of Securities of that series who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for that series. A successor Trustee as to any series of Securities shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee (subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07), the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture as to that series. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders of Securities of that series. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring trustee. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary or desirable to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing herein or in such supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust hereunder separate and apart from any trust hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental Indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each 47 such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. SECTION 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the Trustee as to any series of Securities consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee as to that series; PROVIDED that such corporation shall be eligible under this Article 7 and TIA Section 310(a). SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. Each series of Securities shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee as to any series of Securities shall always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b). SECTION 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. If the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as defined in the TIA it shall eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign. ARTICLE 8. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE SECTION 8.01. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE. The provisions of this Indenture shall upon Company Order cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to a particular series of Securities; when (a) either: (i) all Securities of that series that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid and Securities of that series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) all Securities of that series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a 48 notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Securities of that series not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for Principal and Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued interest to the date of Maturity; (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; (c) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture relating to that series of Securities; (d) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Securities of that series at Maturity; and (e) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities have complied with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.07, and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a)(ii) of this Section or if money or obligations shall have been deposited with or received by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03, the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 8.02 and 8.05 shall survive. SECTION 8.02. APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.05, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01, all money and Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 and all money received by the Trustee in respect of Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04, shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the Principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated by Sections 8.03 and 8.04. 49 (b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against Government Securities deposited pursuant to Sections 8.03 or 8.04 or the interest and principal received in respect of such obligations other than any payable by or on behalf of Holders. (c) The Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Order any Government Securities or money held by it as provided in Sections 8.03 or 8.04 that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount thereof which then would have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such Government Securities or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any Government Securities held under this Indenture. SECTION 8.03. LEGAL DEFEASANCE OF SECURITIES OF ANY SERIES. Unless this Section 8.03 is otherwise specified to be inapplicable to Securities of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the outstanding Securities of any such series on the 91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (d) hereof, the provisions of this Indenture, as it relates to such outstanding Securities of such series, shall no longer be in effect and any Guarantees of such Securities shall terminate (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, upon Company Order, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except as to: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such series to receive, from the trust funds described in subparagraph (l) of the proviso hereto, (i) payment of the Principal of or interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the outstanding Securities of such series at Maturity thereof and (ii) the benefit of any mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to the Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities of such series;

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After any amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such any amendment.

The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture. ARTICLE 10. GUARANTEE SECTION 10.01. GUARANTEE. Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the due and punctual payment of Principal of, interest on and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to the Securities of any series to which this Article 10 is applicable when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) with respect to such Securities and (b) the due and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture with 56 respect to such Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the "OBLIGATIONS"). The Guarantors further agree that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantors, and that the Guarantors will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. The Guarantors waive presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Obligations and also waive notice of protest for nonpayment. The Guarantors waive notice of any default under the Securities of such series to which this Article 10 is applicable or the Obligations with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 10.01 shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities of such series or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any Obligation; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment, modification or supplement of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture (other than this Article 10), the Securities of such series or any other agreement, unless such rescission, waiver, amendment, modification or supplement expressly affects the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 10.01; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations; or (f) any change in the ownership of the Company. The Guarantors further agree that their Guarantees herein constitute a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waive any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Obligations. Except as set forth in this Indenture, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as set forth in this Indenture, the obligations of the Guarantors herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities of any applicable series or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations with respect to such Securities, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantors or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantors as a matter of law or equity. The Guarantors further agree that their Guarantees herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation with respect to such Securities is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, unless such Guarantee has been released in accordance with Section 10.10. 57 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has or may have at law or in equity against the Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any Obligation with respect to such Securities when and as the same shall become due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Obligation with respect to such Securities, the Guarantors hereby promise to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid Principal amount of such Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary Obligations of the Company to the Holders of such Securities and the Trustee. The Guarantors agree that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purposes of this Section. The Guarantors also agree to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section. SECTION 10.02. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. SECTION 10.03. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEE. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit C shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to which this Article 10 is applicable and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President, any Executive or Senior Vice President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer or one of its Vice Presidents. Further, the Company shall cause all future Guarantors to execute a supplemental indenture. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security to which this Article 10 is applicable a notation of such Guarantee. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 58 The delivery of any Security to which this Article 10 is applicable by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. SECTION 10.04. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Article 10 shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. SECTION 10.05. NO WAIVER. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. SECTION 10.06. RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor's right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.07. The provisions of this Section shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. SECTION 10.07. NO SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Guarantors hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Company on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations. 59 SECTION 10.08. ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS; REINSTATEMENT OF GUARANTEES. Until such time as all Guarantees by the Guarantors under this Indenture shall have been released in accordance with Section 10.10, OI Group shall cause each Domestic Subsidiary of OI Group or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that guarantees the Company's Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, including the reinstatement or renewal of a Guarantee of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement previously released under the Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver a supplement to this Indenture providing that such Domestic Subsidiary will be a Guarantor hereunder within 10 Business Days of the date on which it executes a guarantee under the Credit Agreement; PROVIDED that all Subsidiaries that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture (i) shall not be required to execute or maintain a Guarantee and (ii) shall be released from all Obligations under any Guarantee, in each case for so long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Domestic Subsidiaries that are Guarantors on the date any such supplement is executed by an additional Domestic Subsidiary shall not be required to become parties to such supplement and hereby agree to the execution and delivery by any additional Domestic Subsidiary of any such supplement. SECTION 10.09. MODIFICATION. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by the Guarantors therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; it being understood that the release of the Guarantees of Guarantors pursuant to Section 10.10 shall not be an amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10 and shall not require any action on the part of the Trustee. No notice to or demand on the Guarantors in any case shall entitle the Guarantors to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. SECTION 10.10. RELEASE OF GUARANTOR. (a) A Guarantor shall be automatically released without any action on the part of the Trustee of the Holders from its obligations under this Indenture and Guarantee if OI Group properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. (b) Upon the release of a Guarantee by a Domestic Subsidiary under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee of such Domestic Subsidiary under this Indenture will be released and discharged at such time and the Trustee shall execute an appropriate instrument evidencing such release. If any such Domestic Subsidiary thereafter guarantees obligations under the Credit Agreement (or any released Guarantee under the Credit Agreement is reinstated or renewed), then such Domestic Subsidiary will guarantee the Securities in accordance with this Article 10. 60 SECTION 10.11. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION AND SALE OF ASSETS OF A GUARANTOR. A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless: (1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (2) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Guarantee, the Collateral Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; and (3) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, sale, lease or merger complies with the foregoing clauses (1) and (2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell its assets to the Company or another Guarantor. ARTICLE 11. COLLATERAL AND SECURITY SECTION 11.01. COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS. The due and punctual payment of the Principal of, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Securities of a series and the Guarantees thereof when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, interest on the overdue Principal of and interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Securities of such series and the Guarantees thereof and performance of all other obligations under this Indenture, including, without limitation, the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 7.07 herein, and the Securities of such series and the Guarantees thereof, shall be secured as provided in the Collateral Documents. The Trustee, the Company and each Guarantor hereby agree that the Collateral Agent shall hold the Collateral in trust on a PARI PASSU basis with the Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement, related documents and liabilities owing to lenders or affiliates of lenders party to the Credit Agreement and in connection with interest rate and currency agreements and certain other Indebtedness permitted by the Credit Agreement, in each case subject and pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents. Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Security and the Guarantees thereof to which this Article is applicable, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their 61 terms and authorizes and directs (i) the Collateral Agent, with respect to each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and (ii) the Trustee, with respect to the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Acknowledgment, to perform their respective obligations and exercise their respective rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Securities and the Guarantees thereof, acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Collateral Documents, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held on a PARI PASSU basis for the benefit of all the senior secured creditors under the Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, the lenders under the Credit Agreement and that the lien of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents in respect of the Trustee and the Holders is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Collateral Documents and actions that may be taken thereunder. As amongst the Holders of any Security and the Guarantees thereof to which this Article is applicable, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held on a PARI PASSU basis for the benefit of the Holders without preference, priority or distinction of any thereof over any other by reason of difference in time of issuance, sale or otherwise, as security for the Securities and the Guarantees thereof. SECTION 11.02. OPINIONS. Promptly after the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, the Company shall deliver the opinion(s) required by Section 314(b)(1) of the TIA. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Indenture, to the extent required by the TIA, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each anniversary of the date of qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of such date, stating either that (i) in the opinion of such counsel, all action has been taken with respect to any filing, re-filing, recording or re-recording with respect to the Collateral as is necessary to maintain the Lien on the Collateral in favor of the Holders or (ii) in the opinion of such counsel, that no such action is necessary to maintain such Lien. SECTION 11.03. RELEASE AND SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL; AMENDMENT OF COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS. The parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral may be released by the Collateral Agent at any time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents and, if applicable, the Credit Agreement or upon the termination of the Credit Agreement and, in any such case, the Collateral so released shall automatically be released as Collateral for the Securities and the Guarantees thereof without any action on the part of the Trustee or the Holders. When the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid in full, when the collateral under the Collateral Documents no longer secures the obligations under the Credit Agreement and upon election of the applicable grantors or pledgors, or when OI Inc. and OI Group achieve the investment grade ratings specified in the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Agent acknowledges such ratings, each of the Collateral Documents may be terminated and the Collateral securing the Securities and the Guarantees thereunder, released. The Collateral Documents provide that upon release of a Guarantee under this Indenture, the security interest in the assets of that Guarantor securing the Securities and the Guarantees of the Securities will be released simultaneously. Under the indemnification provisions contained in 62 the Intercreditor Agreement, any pro rata payments due to the Collateral Agent from the Holders of the Securities will be deducted from their portion of the proceeds from the Collateral prior to the distribution of such proceeds. The amount of indebtedness secured under the Collateral Documents may be increased without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities. For purposes of the TIA, the release of any Collateral from the terms of the Collateral Documents will not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof or affect the Lien of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and, if applicable, the Credit Agreement or upon the termination of the Credit Agreement. The Trustee and each Holder of Securities and the Guarantees thereof to which this Article 11 is applicable acknowledge that a release of Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and, if applicable, the Credit Agreement or upon the termination of the Credit Agreement, as the case may be, will not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the security under this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company shall cause TIA Section 314(d) relating to the release of property or securities from the Lien of the Collateral Documents and relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien of the Collateral Documents to be complied with. The fair value of Collateral released from the Liens of the Collateral Documents pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall not be considered in determining whether the aggregate fair value of Collateral released from the Liens of the Collateral Documents in any calendar year exceeds the 10% threshold specified in Section 314(d)(l) of the TIA. It is expressly understood that Section 11.04 and this Section 11.03 relate only to the Company's obligations under the TIA and shall not restrict or otherwise affect the Company's and its Subsidiaries' rights or abilities to release Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents or as otherwise permitted by the lenders under the Credit Agreement. SECTION 11.04. CERTIFICATES OF THE COMPANY. The Company shall furnish to the Trustee prior to each proposed release of Collateral all documents required by TIA Section 314(d), if any. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.02, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such documents. Promptly after the receipt of any such documents, the Trustee shall execute an appropriate instrument evidencing such release. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA Section 314(d), if applicable, may be made by an Officer of the Company except in cases where TIA Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert within the meaning of TIA Section 314(d). SECTION 11.05. AUTHORIZATION OF ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE TRUSTEE UNDER THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS. The Trustee shall be the Representative (as such term is defined in the Collateral Documents) on behalf of the Holders and shall act upon the written direction of the Holders with regard to all voting, consent and other rights granted to the Holders under the Collateral 63 Documents, if any. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Acknowledgment, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (a) enforce any of its rights or any of the rights of the Holders under the Collateral Documents and (b) receive any and all amounts payable from the Collateral in respect of the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors hereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Acknowledgment, the Trustee shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee). SECTION 11.06. AUTHORIZATION OF RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE TRUSTEE UNDER THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS. The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time OI Group and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer subject to the Extinguished Covenants, the following covenant shall apply to OI Group and its Domestic Subsidiaries: Neither OI Group nor any of its Domestic Subsidiaries shall create, incur, or permit to exist, any Lien on any of their respective assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure any Indebtedness of either of OI Group or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be equally and ratably secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Lien, except: (i) Liens on cash and Cash Equivalents securing obligations in respect of letters of credit in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; (ii) Liens existing on the Issue Date; (iii) Liens granted after the Issue Date on any assets of OI Group or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries securing Indebtedness of OI Group or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries created in favor of the Holders of the Notes; (iv) Liens securing Indebtedness which is incurred to extend, renew or refinance Indebtedness which is secured by Liens permitted to be incurred under this Indenture; PROVIDED that such Liens do not extend to or cover any assets of OI Group or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries other than the assets securing the Indebtedness being extended, renewed or refinanced and that the principal or commitment amount of such Indebtedness does not exceed the principal or commitment amount of the Indebtedness being extended, renewed or refinanced at the time of such extension, renewal or refinancing, or at the time the Lien was issued, created or assumed or otherwise permitted; (v) Investment Grade Permitted Liens; or (vi) Liens created in substitution of or as replacement for any Liens permitted by the preceding clauses (i) through (v) or this clause (vi), PROVIDED that, based on a good faith determination of an officer of the Company, the assets encumbered under any such substitute or replacement Lien is substantially similar in value to the assets encumbered by the otherwise permitted Lien which is being replaced. Upon the assignment of the Company's obligations under this Indenture to OI Inc. as described in Section 5.03 of this Indenture, the limitations described in this paragraph shall apply to Liens securing Indebtedness of OI Inc. and its Domestic Subsidiaries in lieu of Liens securing Indebtedness of OI Group and its Domestic Subsidiaries and references to OI Group or the Company in the definition of "Investment Grade Permitted Liens" shall become references to OI Inc., unless the context otherwise requires. For purposes of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes, so long as the Credit Agreement is in effect, the Notes shall be considered equally and ratably secured if they are secured pursuant to terms and provisions, including any exclusions or exceptions described therein, no less favorable to the holders of Notes than those set forth in, or contemplated by, the Credit Agreement. 18 SECTION 4.10 OFFER TO REPURCHASE UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes under Section 3.07, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder's Notes pursuant to a change of control offer on the terms set forth in this Indenture (a "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER"). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon, to the date of purchase (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder at its registered address. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Any Change of Control Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer, shall state: (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10; (2) the Change of Control Payment and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT DATE"); (3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the Change of Control Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; (7) that Notes and portions of Notes purchased shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be purchased; and (8) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer), which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to 19 have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; PROVIDED that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. The provisions set forth above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control shall be applicable regardless of whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.10 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. SECTION 4.11 ASSET SALES. OI Group shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: (1) OI Group (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 20 (2) such Fair Market Value is determined in good faith by OI Group and a certification to that effect is set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and (3) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: (a) any liabilities (as shown on OI Group's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet) of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee of the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets which assumption releases OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by OI Group or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 180 days by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received in that conversion); and (c) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 5.0% of Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value); PROVIDED, that the 75% limitation referred to in clause (3) above shall not apply to any Asset Sale in which the cash portion of such consideration received therefore on an after-tax basis, determined in accordance with clause (3) above, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax net proceeds would have been had such transaction complied with such 75% limitation. Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds at its option: (1) to repay senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor and, if the senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, if the terms of such revolving credit Indebtedness would require such a commitment reduction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary may use the Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale to 21 repay senior Indebtedness of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group; (2) to make payments required to be made with respect to the outstanding OI Inc. Senior Notes; (3) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, a Permitted Business; (4) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business; (5) to acquire other long-term assets in or that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or (6) to make an Investment in any one or more businesses (PROVIDED that such Investment in any business may be in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock so long as it results in OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group, as the case may be, owning a majority of the Capital Stock of such business), properties or assets that replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such business, properties and assets of OI Group or a Guarantor that are the subject of an Asset Sale are invested in one or more businesses, properties or assets that constitute or are owned or shall be owned by a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Asset Sale by the Company or any Guarantor, such Net Proceeds may only be applied pursuant to items (1) or (6) above and, to the extent such Net Proceeds are applied to, or with respect to, the Company, a Guarantor or a Person or a Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor, items (3), (4) or (5) above. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, OI Group or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute "EXCESS PROCEEDS." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company shall make an offer (an "ASSET SALE OFFER") to all Holders of Notes and all Holders of other Indebtedness that is PARI PASSU with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the 22 Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sales provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict. SECTION 4.12. RESTRICTED PAYMENTS. OI Group shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on account of OI Group's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of OI Group's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiaries); PROVIDED that the foregoing shall not limit or preclude: (a) the declaration or payment of dividends or distributions to OI Group, the Company or any Guarantor; (b) the declaration or payment of dividends or distributions to holders of Equity Interests of a Guarantor (other than OI Group or a Subsidiary of OI Group) on a pro rata basis with all other holders; or (c) the declaration or payment of dividends or distributions by non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries to the holders of their Equity Interests on a pro rata basis; (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) any Equity Interests of OI Group or any direct or indirect parent of OI Group; (3) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantees of the Notes, except for (a) payments of or related to Intercompany Indebtedness 23 (other than Intercompany Indebtedness owing to OI Inc. by OI Group), (b) a payment of interest or Principal at the Stated Maturity thereof (other than Intercompany Indebtedness owing to OI Inc. by OI Group) or (c) the purchase, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary by a Foreign Subsidiary; or (4) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as "RESTRICTED PAYMENTS"), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and (2) OI Group would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.13; and (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by OI Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of this Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (6) and (7) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of: (a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of OI Group for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the date of this Indenture to the end of OI Group's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), PLUS (b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the Fair Market Value of marketable securities received by OI Group since the date of this Indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of OI Group (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of OI Group that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of OI Group); PLUS 24 (c) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the date of this Indenture is sold or otherwise liquidated, the cash plus the Fair Market Value of any marketable securities received upon the sale or liquidation of such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any); PLUS (d) $15.0 million. So long as (solely with respect to clauses (2), (3), (5) and (7) below) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the preceding provisions shall not prohibit: (1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any Indebtedness of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group or of any Equity Interests of OI Group in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of OI Group) of, Equity Interests of OI Group (other than Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from clause (3)(b) of the preceding paragraph; (3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of the OI Inc. Senior Notes; (4) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of subordinated Indebtedness of OI Group (other than the OI Inc. Senior Notes) or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; (5) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement (or dividends or distributions to OI Inc. or payments of Intercompany Indebtedness, in each case, to finance such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition) for value of any Equity Interests of OI Inc., OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group held by any member of OI Inc.'s, OI Group's or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group's management; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed $5.0 million in any twelve-month period; (6) any OI Inc. Ordinary Course Payment; and (7) dividends or distributions to OI Inc. or payments of Intercompany Indebtedness to allow OI Inc. to pay cash dividends on any shares of 25 preferred stock of OI Inc. outstanding on the date of this Indenture, plus dividends on any subsequently issued shares of preferred stock of OI Inc. in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million in any twelve-month period. The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued to or by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.12 shall be determined in good faith by OI Group. SECTION 4.13. INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK. OI Group shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and OI Group shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and OI Group shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that OI Group and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and may issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for OI Group's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. The first paragraph of this Section 4.13 shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "PERMITTED DEBT"): (1) the incurrence by OI Group or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (and the incurrence of Guarantees thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $4.5 billion (of which not more than $1.41 billion of such Indebtedness shall be incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors); (2) the incurrence by OI Group and any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group of the Existing Indebtedness; (3) the incurrence by OI Group, the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Indenture and the Exchange Notes to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; 26 (4) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed 3.0% of Tangible Assets; (5) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness incurred to finance all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (5), not to exceed 5.0% of Tangible Assets, as measured after giving effect to such transaction; (6) provided that so long as no Default shall have occurred or be continuing or would be caused thereby, the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness, the proceeds of which are or shall be used to refund, refinance or replace the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.85% Senior Notes due 2004, the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.15% Senior Notes due 2005, the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.10% Senior Notes due 2007, the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.35% Senior Notes due 2008 and the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Debentures due 2010, in each case of OI Inc. (7) incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are or shall be used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than Intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted to be incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.13 or clauses (2), (3), (6) or (7) of this paragraph; (8) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Intercompany Indebtedness between or among OI Group and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and with respect to OI Group only, between OI Group and OI Inc.;

27 (b) any incurrence by OI Group of Intercompany Indebtedness to OI Inc. after the Issue Date shall be in exchange for cash loans or advances from OI Inc. in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; and (c) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (8); (9) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations; (10) provided that so long as no Default shall have occurred or be continuing or would be caused thereby, the incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiary of OI Group of Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, not to exceed $300.0 million, in addition to the $1.41 billion of Indebtedness that may be incurred under clause (1) of this paragraph;

(12) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.13 or an issuance of Disqualified Stock; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of OI Group as accrued; (13) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any 28 Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (13), not to exceed $300.0 million; (14) Indebtedness arising from agreements of OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than Guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of OI Group or any such Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet shall not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (i)) and (ii) the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred pursuant to this clause (14) shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including noncash proceeds (the Fair Market Value of such noncash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by OI Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; (15) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness incurred or deemed incurred or cash consideration received from the sale of accounts receivable by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or a special purpose vehicle established by any of them to purchase and sell such receivables;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence; and (18) the incurrence by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Acquired Debt, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this 29 clause (18), not to exceed 5.0% of Tangible Assets, as measured after giving effect to the transaction for which the Acquired Debt was incurred. The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) after the date of this Indenture that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes on substantially similar terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Indebtedness of the Company shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured. OI Group shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) after the date of this Indenture that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of OI Group or the Guarantors, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the obligations under the Notes or Guarantees of the Notes on substantially similar terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Indebtedness of OI Group or the Guarantors shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of OI Group or the Guarantors solely by virtue of being unsecured. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.13, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (18) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.13, the Company shall be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence in any manner that complies with this Section 4.13, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of Permitted Debt above. SECTION 4.14. LIENS. Neither OI Group nor any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group shall create, incur, or permit to exist, any Lien on any of their respective assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure any Indebtedness of either of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be equally and ratably secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Lien, except: (1) Liens on cash and Cash Equivalents securing obligations in respect of letters of credit in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; (2) Liens existing on the Issue Date; 30 (3) Liens granted after the Issue Date on any assets of OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries securing Indebtedness of OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries created in favor of the Holders of the Notes; (4) Liens securing Indebtedness of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group which is incurred to extend, renew or refinance Indebtedness which is secured by Liens permitted to be incurred under this Indenture; PROVIDED that such Liens do not extend to or cover any assets of OI Group or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group other than the assets securing the Indebtedness being extended, renewed or refinanced and that the principal or commitment amount of such Indebtedness does not exceed the principal or commitment amount of the Indebtedness being extended, renewed or refinanced at the time of such extension, renewal or refinancing, or at the time the Lien was issued, created or assumed or otherwise permitted; (5) Permitted Liens; and (6) Liens created in substitution of or as replacements for any Liens permitted by the preceding clauses (1) through (5) or this clause (6), PROVIDED that, based on a good faith determination of an officer of the Company, the assets encumbered under any such substitute or replacement Lien is substantially similar in value to the assets encumbered by the otherwise permitted Lien which is being replaced. For purposes of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes, so long as the Credit Agreement is in effect, the Notes shall be considered equally and ratably secured if they are secured pursuant to terms and provisions, including any exclusions or exceptions described therein, no less favorable to the holders of Notes than those set forth in, or contemplated by, the Credit Agreement. SECTION 4.15. DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES. OI Group shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (2) make loans or advances to OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or (3) transfer any of its properties or assets to OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 31 However, the preceding restrictions shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: (1) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness, Credit Facilities, charter documents and shareholder agreements as in effect on the date of this Indenture, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof, PROVIDED that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in such Existing Indebtedness, Credit Facilities, charter documents and shareholders agreements as in effect on the date of this Indenture; (2) this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents, the Offshore Collateral Documents and the Guarantees of the Notes; (3) applicable law; (4) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred; (5) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices; (6) purchase money obligations, including Capital Lease Obligations and obligations under mortgages, for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the nature described in clause (3) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.15; (7) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group that restricts any of the foregoing by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; (8) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; and 32 (9) Permitted Liens or Investment Grade Permitted Liens securing Indebtedness that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien. Nothing contained in this Section 4.15 shall prevent OI Group or a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group from entering into any agreement (x) permitting or providing for the incurrence of Liens otherwise permitted by Section 4.14 or (y) restricting the sale or other disposition of property securing Indebtedness. SECTION 4.16. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. OI Group shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "AFFILIATE TRANSACTION") involving aggregate payments in consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless: (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to OI Group or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and (2) OI Group delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.16 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors. The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph: (1) transactions between or among OI Group and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (2) transactions between OI Group and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries on the one hand, and OI Inc. on the other, that are in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (3) payment of reasonable directors' fees; (4) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.12; (5) the payment of customary annual management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees and related expenses to KKR and its Affiliates; 33 (6) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of OI Group, any of its direct or indirect parent corporations or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group; (7) payments by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to KKR and its Affiliates for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures which payments are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of OI Group in good faith; (8) transactions in which OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing stating that such transaction is fair to OI Group or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (1) of the preceding paragraph; (9) in addition to any payments referred to in (6) above, payments or loans to officers, directors and employees of OI Group, any of its direct or indirect parent corporations or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group for business or personal purposes and other loans and advances, in accordance with any policy of OI Group which shall have been approved by the Board of Directors of OI Group in good faith from time to time, to such officers, directors and employees for travel, entertainment, moving and other relocation expenses made in the ordinary course of business of OI Group, any of its direct or indirect parent corporations or any Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group; (10) any agreement in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect) or any transaction contemplated thereby; (11) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business which are fair to OI Group or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of OI Group or the senior management thereof; (12) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of OI Group or the Company to any of the Principals; and (13) transactions involving the sale of accounts receivables by OI Group or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or a special purpose vehicle established by any of them to purchase and sell receivables. 34 SECTION 4.17. ADDITIONAL PLEDGES. If on or after the Issue Date, any Domestic Subsidiary of OI Group pledges any property or assets to secure obligations under the Credit Agreement (other than pursuant to the Collateral Documents or as contemplated by the Credit Agreement), then such property or assets shall, also secure the Notes. SECTION 4.18. PAYMENTS FOR CONSENT. OI Group shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. SECTION 4.19. DESIGNATION OF RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES. The Board of Directors of OI Group may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default; PROVIDED that in no event shall the business currently operated by the Company be transferred to or held by an Unrestricted Subsidiary. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by OI Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be a Restricted Investment made as of the time of such designation and that designation shall only be permitted if such Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of OI Group may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; PROVIDED that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of OI Group of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted pursuant to Section 4.13, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence following such designation. SECTION 4.20. FUTURE PLEDGES OF COLLATERAL/NEGATIVE PLEDGES. The Collateral Documents shall provide that, beginning on April 1, 2002, the Holders shall, automatically and without any further action, become the beneficiary of the pledge to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreement of (1) all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of Capital Stock of OI Health Care Holding Corp., OI General Finance Inc., OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. and Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. ("OI PACKAGING") owned by OI Group and Intercompany Indebtedness owed by each of OI Health Care Holding Corp., OI General Finance Inc., OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. and OI Packaging to OI Group; and (2) all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes 35 of Capital Stock of the Company owned by OI Packaging and Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Company to OI Packaging (collectively, the "FUTURE PLEDGE"). In addition, (1) until the date of the Future Pledge, and except as contemplated and permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents, (a) OI Group shall not permit any of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of Capital Stock of OI Health Care Holding Corp., OI General Finance Inc., OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. or OI Packaging to be pledged; (b) OI Group shall not permit any part of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by any of OI Health Care Holding Corp., OI General Finance Inc., OI Plastic Products FTS Inc. or OI Packaging to OI Group to be pledged; (c) OI Packaging shall not permit any of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company to be pledged; and (d) OI Packaging shall not permit any part of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Company to OI Packaging to be pledged, and (2) except as contemplated by and permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents, OI Group shall not permit any of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of Capital Stock of OI General FTS or any part of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by OI General FTS to OI Group to be pledged, in each of the foregoing cases as security or otherwise unless the Notes and Guarantees of the Notes are secured by this collateral on a PARI PASSU basis with the applicable Indebtedness. SECTION 4.21. LIMITATIONS ON ISSUANCES OF GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS. OI Group shall not permit any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to guarantee the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company or OI Group unless such Domestic Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture providing for the guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Domestic Subsidiary, which Guarantee shall be senior to or PARI PASSU with such Subsidiary's Guarantee of such other Indebtedness. SECTION 2.05. AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLE 5. Article 5 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 in their entirety and replacing them with the following Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03: SECTION 5.01.

For purposes of determining the amount of Secured Obligations relating to any obligation with respect to which a Person other than a Grantor is the direct or primary obligor and with respect to which a Grantor is a guarantor (including by way of providing security), the total amount of such Secured Obligations shall be calculated without duplication of the amount of such direct or primary obligation secured by the Collateral and the related guaranty obligations of the Grantor secured by the Collateral. SECTION 3. GRANTORS REMAIN LIABLE. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under any contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, to the extent set forth therein, to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) neither Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, licenses, and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder, except to the extent Collateral Agent or Secured Party expressly assumes any obligations thereunder. 8 SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Grantor represents and warrants as follows: (a) OWNERSHIP OF COLLATERAL.

(c) VOTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Securities Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; and (ii) each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain, and to utilize free and clear of the lien of this Agreement, 13 any and all dividends, other distributions and interest paid in respect of the Securities Collateral; provided, any and all (A) dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Securities Collateral, and (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Securities Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus, forthwith be delivered to Collateral Agent to hold as, Securities Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and be forthwith delivered to Collateral Agent as Securities Collateral in the same form as so received (with all necessary endorsements). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (x) upon written notice from Collateral Agent to any Grantor, all rights of such Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights during the continuation of such Event of Default; (y) all rights of such Grantor to receive the dividends, other distributions and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Securities Collateral such dividends, other distributions and interest payments during the continuation of such Event of Default, provided that nothing herein shall restrict or limit the right of a Grantor to directly or indirectly make or receive dividends, distributions, principal or interest payments for the purpose of making such amounts available to Company to make Holdings Ordinary Course Payments permitted to be paid pursuant to SUBSECTION 6.5 of the Credit Agreement; and (z) all dividends, principal, interest payments and other distributions which are received by such Grantor contrary to the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph or clause (y) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to Collateral Agent as Securities Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

SECTION 10. SPECIAL COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this SECTION 10, each Grantor shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any portion thereof. In connection with such collections, each Grantor may take (and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default at Collateral Agent's reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection of such amounts; provided, Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby and to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by each Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by SECTION 18, and (ii) such Grantor shall not, without the consent of the Collateral Agent, adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon. (b) In addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the granting of a security interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, each Grantor, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (but only to the extent to do so would not breach a contract existing on the date hereof and binding on such Grantor), hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Collateral Agent the nonexclusive right and license to use all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents or technical processes (including, without limitation, the Intellectual Property Collateral) owned or used by such Grantor that relate to the Collateral and any other collateral granted by such Grantor as security for the Secured Obligations, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable Collateral Agent to realize on the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of the Collateral to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral. This right shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of Collateral Agent and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license shall be granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to such Grantor. If and to the extent that any Grantor licenses the Intellectual Property Collateral, upon such 15 Grantor's request and provided no Event of Default then exists, Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into a non-disturbance agreement or other similar arrangement, at such Grantor's request and expense, with such Grantor and any licensee of any Intellectual Property Collateral permitted hereunder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent pursuant to which (i) Collateral Agent shall agree not to disturb or interfere with such licensee's rights under its license agreement with such Grantor so long as such licensee is not in default thereunder, and (ii) such licensee shall acknowledge and agree that the Intellectual Property Collateral licensed to it is subject to the security interest created in favor of Collateral Agent and the other terms of this Agreement. SECTION 11. OMITTED. SECTION 12. COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain at its office at One Bankers Trust Plaza, New York, New York, two blocked accounts in the name of the Grantors and under the sole dominion and control of Collateral Agent, one, a restricted deposit account designated as "OI GRANTOR COLLATERAL ACCOUNT" and the second, a restricted deposit account designated "OI L/C COLLATERAL ACCOUNT". The "OI GRANTOR COLLATERAL ACCOUNT" is referred to herein as the "GENERAL COLLATERAL ACCOUNT", the "OI L/C COLLATERAL ACCOUNT" is referred to herein as the "L/C COLLATERAL ACCOUNT" and General Collateral Account and L/C Collateral Account, collectively, are referred to herein as the "COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS". All amounts at any time held in the Collateral Accounts shall be beneficially owned by Grantors but shall be held in the name of Collateral Agent hereunder, for the benefit of Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement. Grantors shall have no right to withdraw, transfer or, except as expressly set forth herein or in SECTION 5.4b of the Credit Agreement with respect to the General Collateral Account, otherwise receive any funds deposited into the Collateral Accounts. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Accounts shall be subject to such applicable laws, and such applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of any other appropriate banking or Governmental Authority, as may now or hereafter be in effect. All deposits of funds in the Collateral Accounts shall be made by wire transfer (or, if applicable, by intra-bank transfer from another account of a Grantor) of immediately available funds, in each case addressed in accordance with instructions of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor shall, promptly after initiating a transfer of funds to the Collateral Accounts, give notice to Collateral Agent by telefacsimile of the date, amount and method of delivery of such deposit. Cash held by Collateral Agent in the Collateral Accounts shall not be invested by Collateral Agent but instead shall be maintained as a cash deposit in the Collateral Accounts pending application thereof as elsewhere provided in this Agreement. To the extent permitted under Regulation Q of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, any cash held in the Collateral Accounts shall bear interest at the standard rate paid by Collateral Agent to its customers for deposits of like amounts and terms. Subject to Collateral Agent's rights hereunder, any interest earned on deposits of cash in the Collateral Accounts shall be deposited directly in, and held in the Collateral Accounts. 16 SECTION 13. SECURED PARTY APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as such Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in Collateral Agent's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation: (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above; (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; (e) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; (f) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; and (g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Collateral Agent's option and Grantors' expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Collateral Agent's security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. 17 SECTION 14. COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantors under SECTION 19(b). SECTION 15. STANDARD OF CARE. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Collateral Agent accords its own property. SECTION 16. REMEDIES. (a) GENERALLY. If (i) any "Event of Default" under and as defined in the Credit Agreement, or (ii) after such time as all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, and PROVIDED that the Collateral then secures the payment and performance of any obligations under any New Senior Debt Documents, any Other Permitted Credit Exposure Documents, any Interest Rate Obligations or any Currency Obligations, if any event of default under (A) any Interest Rate Agreement or Currency Agreement which is secured by Collateral, (B) any obligations under any New Senior Debt Documents which are secured by Collateral, or (C) any obligations under any Other Permitted Credit Exposure Documents which are secured by Collateral, as the case may be (either such occurrence being an "EVENT OF DEFAULT" for purposes of this Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble such of the Collateral as may reasonably be assembled as directed by Collateral Agent and make it available to Collateral Agent at a place or places to be designated by Collateral Agent and reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Collateral Agent deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Grantor's premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of such Grantor's equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, (v) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Collateral 18 Agent may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise dominion and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any Deposit Account maintained with Collateral Agent or any Lender constituting a part of the Collateral and (vii) without notice to any Grantor, transfer to or to register in the name of Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Securities Collateral. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale but shall not be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such Person as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable by such Person at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Collateral Agent, that Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred or is continuing giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. (b) SECURITIES COLLATERAL. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Securities Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Securities Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the 19 Securities Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Shares to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Collateral Agent all such information as Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Securities Collateral which may be sold by Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. (c) L/C COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. (i) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in accordance with SECTION 7 of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) if any Proceeds (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) derived from the Collateral and after application thereof to prepayment of the Loans as required under the Credit Agreement and as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, Borrowers must pay to Collateral Agent an amount (the "AGGREGATE AVAILABLE AMOUNT") equal to the maximum amount that may at any time be drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding, Borrowers shall deliver funds in such an amount for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account. If for any reason the aggregate amount delivered by Borrowers for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account as aforesaid is less than the Aggregate Available Amount, the aggregate amount so delivered by Borrowers shall be apportioned among all outstanding Letters of Credit for purposes of this Section in accordance with the ratio of the maximum amount available for drawing under each such Letter of Credit (as to such Letter of Credit, the "MAXIMUM AVAILABLE AMOUNT") to the Aggregate Available Amount. Upon any drawing under any outstanding Letter of Credit in respect of which Borrowers have deposited in the L/C Collateral Account any amounts described above, Collateral Agent shall apply such amounts to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of such drawing. In the event of cancellation or expiration of any Letter of Credit in respect of which Company has deposited in the L/C Collateral Account any amounts described above, or in the event of any reduction in the Maximum Available Amount under such Letter of Credit, Collateral Agent shall apply the amount then on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account in respect of such Letter of Credit (less, in the case of such a reduction, the Maximum Available Amount under such Letter of Credit immediately after such reduction) (A) first, to the payment of any amounts payable to Collateral Agent pursuant to SECTION 18 hereof, (B) second, to the extent of any excess, to the cash collateralization pursuant to the terms of this Agreement of any outstanding Letters of Credit in respect of which Borrowers have failed to pay all or a portion of the amounts described above (such cash collateralization to be apportioned among all such Letters of Credit in the manner described above), (C) third, to the extent of any further excess, as provided in SECTION 3(a)(ii) of the Intercreditor Agreement. SECTION 17. ADDITIONAL REMEDIES FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. (a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name of any Grantor, Collateral Agent or otherwise, to enforce its rights with respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral, in which event each Grantor shall, at the request of Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and each Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Collateral Agent as provided in SECTIONS 10.3 and 10.4 of the Credit Agreement and SECTION 19 hereof, as applicable, in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that Collateral Agent shall elect not 20 to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property Collateral as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all commercially reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any material Intellectual Property Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to use its commercially reasonable judgment in maintaining any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing reasonably necessary to prevent such infringement; (ii) upon written demand from Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that Collateral Agent (or any Lender) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property Collateral; and (iv) within five Business Days after written notice from Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor's power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor's employ on the date of such Event of Default as Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks, Trademark Registrations and Trademark Rights, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on Collateral Agent's behalf and to be compensated by Collateral Agent at such Grantor's expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default. (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment to Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property Collateral shall have been previously made, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor on behalf of itself and/or any other Grantor, Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each such Grantor such assignments as may be necessary to reassign to each such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, Collateral Agent's security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Liens (if any) encumbering such rights, title and interest at the time of their assignment to Collateral Agent and Permitted Encumbrances.

SECTION 20. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS; TERMINATION AND RELEASE. (a) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (A) termination of the security interest granted hereby pursuant to SECTION 20(b), and (B) the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (excluding the Other Permitted Credit Exposure, Interest Rate Obligations and Currency Obligations and obligations under or in respect of the New Senior Debt Documents); the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (ii) be binding upon Grantors and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Collateral Agent and its successors, and permitted transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), (A) but subject to the provisions of SUBSECTION 10.2 of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders as Secured Parties herein or otherwise, (B) any Interest Rate Exchanger or Currency Exchanger may assign or otherwise transfer any Interest Rate Agreement or Currency Agreement to which it is a party to any other Lender or Affiliate of a Lender in accordance with the terms of such Interest Rate Agreement or Currency Agreement, and such other permitted assignee shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Interest Rate Exchangers and/or Currency Exchanger as Secured Parties herein or otherwise, (C) any Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder may assign or otherwise transfer any Other Permitted Credit Exposure to any other Lender or Affiliate of Lender in accordance with the applicable Other Permitted Credit Exposure Documents and such other permitted assignee shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder as a Secured Party herein or otherwise and (D) any holder of any New Senior Debt may assign or otherwise transfer any New Senior Debt to any other Person in accordance with the applicable New Senior Debt Documents and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such holder (or its representative) as a Secured Party herein or otherwise.

Upon any such termination Collateral Agent will, at Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to 23 Grantors such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Upon the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by a Grantor or of a Grantor in accordance with the Credit Agreement for which such Grantor desires to obtain a security interest release from Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall deliver an Officer's Certificate (x) stating that the Collateral subject to such disposition is being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and (y) specifying the Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officer's Certificate, Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor's expense, so long as Collateral Agent has no reason to believe that the Officer's Certificate delivered by such Grantor with respect to such sale is not true and correct, execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral which is to be so sold, transferred or disposed of, as may be reasonably requested by such Grantor. If Requisite Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or if required, all Lenders, consent to the release or reconveyance of any of the Collateral, Collateral Agent shall at Grantors' expense execute and deliver any necessary releases of its security interest in such Collateral in connection therewith and all such reconveyances or transfers shall be without recourse to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties and without representation or warranty of any kind. SECTION 21. COLLATERAL AGENT AS AGENT. (a) Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Secured Parties and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Lenders, Interest Rate Exchangers, Currency Exchangers, Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holders and New Senior Debt Representatives shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including without limitation the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in SECTION 16 in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Obligees (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 21(a), each Lender, Interest Rate Exchanger, Currency Exchanger, Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder and New Senior Debt Representative, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by each such Lender, Interest Rate Exchanger, Currency Exchanger, Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder and New Senior Debt Representative that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 21(a). (b) Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Interest Rate Exchanger, Currency Exchanger, Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder or New Senior Debt Representative until it shall have received written notice in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent from a Grantor, or such Interest Rate Exchanger, Currency Exchanger, Other Permitted Credit Exposure Holder or New Senior Debt Representative as to the existence and terms of the applicable Interest Rate, Currency Agreement, Other Permitted Credit Exposure or New Senior Debt Documents, as the case may be. 24 SECTION 22.

Upon delivery of any such Counterpart to Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each such Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder. SECTION 23. AMENDMENTS; ETC. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Agent and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Grantors; PROVIDED this Agreement may be modified by the execution of a Counterpart by an Additional Grantor in accordance with SECTION 22 and Grantors hereby waive any requirement of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. SECTION 24. NOTICES. Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telexed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; PROVIDED that notices to Collateral Agent shall not be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as provided in the Credit Agreement or as set forth under such party's name on the signature pages hereof or such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto. SECTION 25. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay on the part of Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. 25 SECTION 26. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES If (i) any of the Registration Statements required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such filing in this Agreement, (ii) any of such Registration Statements has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness in this Agreement, (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated within 40 days after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective or (iv) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to pay liquidated dames to each Holder of outstanding Notes ("LIQUIDATED DAMAGES") during the period of one or more Registration Defaults, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum (which amount will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that any liquidated damages continue to accrue; provided that the amounts at which liquidated damages accrue may in no event exceed 1.0% per annum) in respect of the Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder until the applicable Registration Statement is filed, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and the Exchange Offer is Consummated or the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective or again becomes effective, as the case may be. All accrued Liquidated Damages will be paid by the Company and the Guarantors on each Interest Payment Date to Holders of global 6 Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by federal funds check and to holders of certificated Notes by wire transfer to the accounts specified by them or by mailing checks to their registered addresses if no such accounts have been specified. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of Liquidated Damages will cease; provided, however, that, if after the cessation of the accrual of Liquidated Damages, a different Registration Default occurs, Liquidated Damages shall again accrue pursuant to the foregoing provisions. All obligations of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Note shall have been satisfied in full. SECTION 6. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES (a) EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with the applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Broker-Dealer Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (which shall be in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement), and shall comply with all of the following provisions: (i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company there is a question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Initial Notes. The Company and the Guarantors each hereby agree to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. The Company and the Guarantors each hereby agree, however, to (A) participate in telephonic conferences with the staff of Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue a favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such submission. (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the Company's and the Guarantor's preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission 7 enunciated in MORGAN STANLEY AND CO., INC. (available June 5, 1991) and EXXON CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Notes acquired by such Holder directly from the Company. (iii) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall provide a supplemental letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company and the Guarantors are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, (B) including a representation that neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the Initial Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company's information and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Initial Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Initial Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above. (b) SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof. (c) GENERAL PROVISIONS. In connection with any Registration Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the related Prospectus required to permit resales of Broker-Dealer Transfer Restricted Securities by Broker-Dealers), the Company and the Guarantors shall: (i) use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements (including, if required by the Securities Act or any regulation thereunder, financial statements of the Guarantors) for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company shall 8 file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; (iii) advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly and, if requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time; (iv) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish without charge to each of the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review of such Holders and underwriter(s) in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least three 9 Business Days, and neither the Company nor the Guarantors will file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by reference) to which an Initial Purchaser or the underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object in writing within five Business Days after the receipt thereof (such objection to be deemed timely made upon confirmation of telecopy transmission within such period). The objection of an Initial Purchaser or underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to be reasonable if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains a material misstatement or omission; (v) in connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any Shelf Registration Statement, and to the underwriter(s), if any, make the Company's representatives and representatives of the Guarantors available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, reasonably may request;

(vii) if requested by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the "Plan of Distribution" of the Transfer Restricted Securities, information with respect to the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company or a Guarantor is notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; (viii) furnish to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference); 10 (ix) deliver to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; the Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; (x) in connection with any underwritten offering of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, enter into, and cause the Guarantors to enter into, such agreements (including an underwriting agreement), and make, and cause the Guarantors to make, such representations and warranties, and take all such other actions in connection therewith reasonably necessary to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities, all to such extent as may be reasonably requested by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to underwritten offerings of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement and shall: (A) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as they may reasonably request and as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the date of the Consummation of the Exchange Offer and, if applicable, the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement: (1) a certificate, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, signed by (y) the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, President, any Executive Vice President or any Vice President and (z) a principal financial or accounting officer of each of the Company and Owens-Illinois Group, Inc., confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5 (e) of the Purchase Agreement or such other matters as such parties may reasonably request; (2) opinions, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, covering the matters set forth in paragraph (c) of Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement and Exhibits B and C referred to therein and such other matters as such parties may reasonably request;

(B) set forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting agreement, if any, indemnification provisions and procedures of Section 8 hereof with respect to all 11 parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section (or such other provisions or procedures acceptable to selling Holders representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement and the Underwriters, if any); and (C) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such parties to evidence compliance with clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company or the Guarantors pursuant to this clause (xi), if any. If at any time the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contemplated in clause (A)(1) above cease to be true and correct in all material respects, the Company or the Guarantors shall so advise the Initial Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder promptly and, if requested by such Persons, shall confirm such advice in writing; (xi) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders or underwriter(s) may request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to any Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; (xii) shall issue, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, Exchange Notes, having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes surrendered to the Company by such Holder in exchange therefor or being sold by such Holder; such Exchange Notes to be registered in the name of such Holder or in the name of the purchaser(s) of such Notes, as the case may be; in return, the Initial Notes held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation; (xiii) cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such underwriter(s); (xiv) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in clause (xii) above; 12 (xv) if any fact or event contemplated by clause (c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (xvi) provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with the Depositary Trust Company; (xvii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any "qualified independent underwriter") that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and approved by such governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders selling Transfer Restricted Securities to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities; (xviii) otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to the Company's security holders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 (which need not be audited) for the twelve-month period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm or best efforts Underwritten Offering or (B) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement; (xix) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate, and cause the Guarantors to cooperate with, with the Trustee and the Holders of Notes to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; and (xx) provide promptly to each Holder upon request each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act or provide each such requesting Holder the location where such Holder can obtain such information without charge. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company or any Guarantor of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until such 13 Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the "ADVICE") by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company or any Guarantor shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or shall have received the Advice; however, no such extension shall be taken into account in determining whether Liquidated Damages are due pursuant to Section 5 hereof or the amount of such Liquidated Damages, it being agreed that the Company's and the Guarantor's option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a Registration Default for purposes of Section 5. SECTION 7. REGISTRATION EXPENSES (a) All expenses incident to the Company's or the Guarantors' performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company or the Guarantors, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by any Initial Purchaser or Holder with the NASD (and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any "qualified independent underwriter" and its counsel that may be required by the rules and regulations of the NASD)); (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, the Guarantors and, subject to Section 7(b) below, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the Exchange Notes on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements thereof; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance).

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company and the Guarantors will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or resold pursuant to the "Plan of Distribution" contained in the Exchange Offer Registration 14 Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be Simpson Thacher & Bartlett or such other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared. SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) INDEMNIFICATION OF THE HOLDERS. The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Holder or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company or Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holders expressly for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, who, in contravention of a requirement of applicable law, failed to deliver, or otherwise convey the information contained in, any Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) to the person asserting any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such material misstatement or omission or alleged material misstatement or omission was cured in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) and such Prospectus was required by law to be delivered at or prior to the written confirmation of sale to such person and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto was provided by the Company to the Holder in the requisite quantity and on a timely basis to permit proper delivery on or prior to the closing of such sale by such Holder. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have. (b) INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY, THE GUARANTORS AND THEIR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors and each of their respective directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the 15 Company or such Guarantor or any such director, or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Holder), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holders expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company and the Guarantors, or any such director or controlling person for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and the Guarantors, or any such director or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Holder may otherwise have. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. (c) NOTIFICATIONS AND OTHER INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. Promptly after receipt by any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any person against whom indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY"), notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of legal counsel, that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party's election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such 16 indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the indemnifying party, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. (d) SETTLEMENTS. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding. (e) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which, in the case of the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds from the Initial Placement as set forth on the cover page to the Offering Memorandum), the amount of Liquidated Damages which did not become payable as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, 17 on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the total net proceeds received by such Holder upon its resale of Notes less the amount paid by such Holder for such Notes, on the other hand, bear to the total sum of such amounts. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors or such Holder, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. For the purposes of the preceding two sentences, the net proceeds deemed to be received by the Company shall be deemed to be also for the benefit of the Guarantors and the information supplied by the Company shall also be deemed to have been supplied by the Guarantors. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(a), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in this Section 8 with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 8(e); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under this Section 8 for purposes of indemnification. The Company, the Guarantors and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(e), no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total net proceeds received by such Holder upon its resale of Initial Notes exceeds the sum of the amount paid by such Holder for such Initial Notes (or, if such Initial Notes have not been sold by such Holder, the total discount received by such Holder with respect to such Initial Notes) and the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(e) are several, and not joint, in proportion to the respective principal amount of Initial Notes held by each of the Holders hereunder. For purposes of this Section 8(e), each director, officer and employee of an Holder and each person, if any, who controls an Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each director of the Company and the Guarantors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company with the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors. (f) The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. 18 SECTION 9. RULE 144A The Company and the Guarantors each hereby agree with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A. SECTION 10. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. SECTION 11. SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering shall be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; PROVIDED, that such investment bankers and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS (a) REMEDIES. The Company and the Guarantors each hereby agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. (b) NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company shall not, and shall cause the Guarantors not to, on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to the Company's securities that would prevent the Company or any Guarantor from satisfying its obligations hereunder or that would otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof. Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors has entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to the Company's securities to any Person. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. (c) ADJUSTMENTS AFFECTING THE NOTES. The Company shall not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the Notes that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer. 19 (d) AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered; provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective. (e) NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery: (i) if to a Holder, at the address set forth on the records of the Registrar under the Indenture, with a copy to the Registrar under the Indenture; and (ii) if to the Company: Owen-Brockway Glass Container Inc.

("Group") and the domestic subsidiaries of Group listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, and together with Group, the "Guarantors"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2002 (the "Registration Statement"), you have requested our opinion with respect to the matters set forth below. The Securities and the Guarantees will be issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 24, 2002, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated January 24, 2002 (as supplemented, the "Indenture") by and among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Securities and the Guarantees will be issued in exchange for the Company's outstanding 8 7/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 (the "Outstanding Notes") on the terms set forth in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and the Letter of Transmittal filed as an exhibit thereto. The Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Operative Documents." Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In our capacity as your special counsel in connection with such registration, we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with the authorization and issuance of the Securities and the Guarantees, respectively. In addition, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such documents, corporate records and instruments, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 505 Montgomery Street, Suite 1900 o San Francisco, California 94111-2562 TELEPHONE: (415) 391-0600 o FAX: (415) 395-8095 We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the internal laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that as of the date hereof: 1. The Securities, when executed, authenticated and delivered by or on behalf of the Company against the due tender and delivery to the Trustee of the Outstanding Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, will be the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. 2. Each of the Guarantees, when executed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and upon due execution, authentication and delivery of the Securities against the due tender and delivery to the Trustee of the Outstanding Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, will be the legally valid and binding obligation of the respective Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms. The opinions rendered in paragraphs 1 and 2 above relating to the enforceability of the Securities and the Guarantees are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors, (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; (iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; (iv) the unenforceability of any provision requiring the payment of attorney's fees, except to the extent that a court determines such fees to be reasonable; and (v) we express no opinion concerning the unenforceability of the waiver of rights and defenses contained in Section 4.06 of the Indenture. We have not been requested to express, and with your knowledge and consent, do not render any opinion as to the applicability to the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Securities or the Guarantors under the Indenture or the Guarantees of Sections 547 and 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law (including, without limitation, Article 10 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) relating to preferences and fraudulent transfers and obligations. To the extent that the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Operative Documents to which each is a party may be dependent upon such matters, we have assumed for purposes of this opinion that: (i) the Company, each of the Guarantors and the Trustee (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (b) has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under each Operative Document to which it is a party, and (c) has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture; (ii) each of the Company and the Guarantors has duly authorized the Securities and the Guarantees, as applicable; (iii) the Indenture constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms; (iv) the Trustee is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Indenture; and (v) the Trustee is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as a trustee under the Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations.

DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE OR TRANSMISSION TO A FACSIMILE NUMBER OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY. The undersigned acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus dated , 2002 (the "Prospectus"), of Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and this Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), which together with the Prospectus constitutes the Company's offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange $1,000 principal amount of its 8 7/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 (the "Exchange Notes") for each $1,000 principal amount of its outstanding 8 7/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 (the "Private Notes"). Recipients of the Prospectus should read the requirements described in such Prospectus with respect to eligibility to participate in the Exchange Offer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Prospectus. The undersigned hereby tenders the Private Notes described in the box entitled "Description of Private Notes" below pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned is the registered holder of all the Private Notes (the "Holder") and the undersigned represents that it has received from each beneficial owner of Private Notes (the "Beneficial Owners") a duly completed and executed form of "Instruction to Registered Holder from Beneficial Owner" accompanying this Letter of Transmittal, instructing the undersigned to take the action described in this Letter of Transmittal. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BEFORE CAREFULLY COMPLETING ANY BOX BELOW. This Letter of Transmittal is to be used by a Holder if (i) certificates representing Private Notes are to be forwarded herewith and (ii) a tender is made pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures in the section of the Prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." Holders that are tendering by book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent's account at DTC can execute the tender through ATOP for which the Exchange Offer will be eligible. DTC participants that are accepting the Exchange Offer must transmit their acceptance to DTC which will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent's account at DTC. DTC will then send an agent's message forming part of a book-entry transfer in which the participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal (an "Agent's Message") to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance. Transmission of the Agent's Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Exchange Offer as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the participant identified in the Agent's Message. Any Beneficial Owner whose Private Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact such Holder promptly and instruct such Holder to tender on behalf of the Beneficial Owner. If such Beneficial Owner wishes to tender on its own behalf, such Beneficial Owner must, prior to completing and executing this Letter of Transmittal and delivering its Private Notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Private Notes in such Beneficial Owner's name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the Holder. The transfer of record ownership may take considerable time. In order to properly complete this Letter of Transmittal, a Holder must (i) complete the box entitled "Description of Private Notes," (ii) if appropriate, check and complete the boxes relating to book-entry transfer, guaranteed delivery, Special Issuance Instructions and Special Delivery Instructions, (iii) sign the Letter of Transmittal by completing the box entitled "Sign Here To Tender Your Private Notes" and (iv) complete the Substitute Form W-9. Each Holder should carefully read the detailed instructions below prior to completing the Letter of Transmittal. Holders of Private Notes who desire to tender their Private Notes for exchange and (i) whose Private Notes are not immediately available or (ii) who cannot deliver their Private Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other documents required hereby to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, must tender the Private Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." See Instruction 2. Holders of Private Notes who wish to tender their Private Notes for exchange must complete columns (1) through (3) in the box below entitled "Description of Private Notes," and sign the box below entitled "Sign Here To Tender Your Private Notes." If only those columns are completed, such Holder will have tendered for exchange all Private Notes listed in column (3) below. If the Holder wishes to tender for exchange less than all of such Private Notes, column (4) must be completed in full. In such case, such Holder should refer to Instruction 5. The Exchange Offer may be extended, terminated or amended, as provided in the Prospectus. During any such extension of the Exchange Offer, all Private Notes previously tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer will remain subject to such Exchange Offer. The undersigned hereby tenders for exchange the Private Notes described in the box entitled "Description of Private Notes" below pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal. 2

In all other cases, all signatures must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. 2. DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND PRIVATE NOTES; GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES. This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by Holders if certificates representing Private Notes are to be forwarded herewith. All physically delivered Private Notes, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) and any other required documents, must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein prior to the Expiration Date or the tendering holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below. Delivery of the documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent. The method of delivery of Private Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of the Holder. Except as otherwise provided below, the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the Exchange Agent. Instead of delivery by mail, it is recommended that Holders use an overnight or hand delivery service, properly insured. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date. Neither this Letter of Transmittal nor any Private Notes should be sent to the Company. Holders may request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect the above transactions for such Holders. Holders of Private Notes who elect to tender Private Notes and (i) whose Private Notes are not immediately available or (ii) who cannot deliver the Private Notes, this Letter of Transmittal or other required documents to the Exchange Agent prior the Expiration Date must tender their Private Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus. Holders may have such tender effected if: (a) such tender is made through an Eligible Institution; (b) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent has received from such Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, setting forth the name and address of the Holder, the certificate number(s) of such Private Notes and the principal amount of Private Notes tendered for exchange, stating that tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date, this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), together with the certificate(s) representing such Private Notes (or a Book-Entry Confirmation), in proper form for transfer, and any other documents required by 9 this Letter of Transmittal, will be deposited by such Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent; and (c) a properly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), as well as the certificate(s) for all tendered Private Notes in proper form for transfer or a Book-Entry Confirmation, together with any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, are received by the Exchange Agent within five New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering Holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Private Notes for exchange. 3. INADEQUATE SPACE. If the space provided in the box entitled "Description of Private Notes" above is inadequate, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the Private Notes being tendered should be listed on a separate signed schedule affixed hereto. 4. WITHDRAWALS. A tender of Private Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date by delivery of written notice of withdrawal (or facsimile thereof) to the Exchange Agent at the address set forth on the cover of this Letter of Transmittal. To be effective, a notice of withdrawal of Private Notes must (i) specify the name of the person who tendered the Private Notes to be withdrawn (the "Depositor"), (ii) identify the Private Notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number(s) and aggregate principal amount of such Private Notes), and (iii) be signed by the Holder in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of Transmittal by which such Private Notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees). All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, whose determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any Private Notes so withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer and no Exchange Notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the Private Notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Properly withdrawn Private Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described in the section of the Prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Tendering" at any time prior to the Expiration Date. 5. PARTIAL TENDERS. Tenders of Private Notes will be accepted only in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount. If a tender for exchange is to be made with respect to less than the entire principal amount of any Private Notes, fill in the principal amount of Private Notes which are tendered for exchange in column (4) of the box entitled "Description of Private Notes," as more fully described in the footnotes thereto. In the case of a partial tender for exchange, a new certificate, in fully registered form, for the remainder of the principal amount of the Private Notes, will be sent to the Holders unless otherwise indicated in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer. 6. SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, POWERS OF ATTORNEY AND ENDORSEMENTS. (a) The signature(s) of the Holder on this Letter of Transmittal must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Private Notes without alternation, enlargement or any change whatsoever. (b) If tendered Private Notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal. (c) If any tendered Private Notes are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal and any necessary or required documents as there are different registrations or certificates. 10 (d) When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the Holder listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of Private Notes or bond powers are required. If, however, Private Notes not tendered or not accepted, are to be issued or returned in the name of a person other than the Holder, then the Private Notes transmitted hereby must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, in a form satisfactory to the Company, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the Holder(s) appear(s) on the Private Notes. Signatures on such Private Notes or bond powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (unless signed by an Eligible Institution). See Instruction 1. (e) If this Letter of Transmittal or Private Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to so act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal. (f) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the Holder listed, the Private Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, in either case signed by such Holder exactly as the name(s) of the Holder appear(s) on the certificates. Signatures on such Private Notes or bond powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (unless signed by an Eligible Institution). 7. TRANSFER TAXES. Except as set forth in this Instruction 7, the Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Private Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Private Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the amount of such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the Holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemptions therefrom is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder. 8. SPECIAL ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. If the Exchange Notes are to be issued, or if any Private Notes not tendered for exchange are to be issued or sent to someone other than the Holder or to an address other than that shown above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed. Holders of Private Notes tendering Private Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Private Notes not accepted be credited to such account maintained at DTC as such Holder may designate. 9. IRREGULARITIES. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), compliance with conditions, acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Private Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Private Notes not properly tendered or any Private Notes the Company's acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Private Notes. The Company's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Private Notes must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. Although the Company intends to notify Holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Private Notes, neither the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Private Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Private Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date. 11 10. WAIVER OF CONDITIONS. The Company reserves the absolute right to waive, amend or modify certain of the specified conditions as described under "The Exchange Offer--Conditions to the Exchange Offer" in the Prospectus in the case of any Private Notes tendered (except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus). 11.

REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION OR ADDITIONAL COPIES. Requests for information, questions related to the procedures for tendering or for additional copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address or telephone number set forth on the cover of this Letter of Transmittal. IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (OR A FACSIMILE THEREOF) TOGETHER WITH CERTIFICATES, OR CONFIRMATION OF BOOK-ENTRY OR THE NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY, AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT PRIOR THE EXPIRATION DATE. 12 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Under current federal income tax law, a Holder whose tendered Private Notes are accepted for exchange may be subject to backup withholding unless the Holder provides the Company (as payor), through the Exchange Agent, with either (i) such Holder's correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") on Substitute Form W-9 attached hereto, certifying that the TIN provided on Substitute Form W-9 is correct (or that such Holder is awaiting a TIN) and that (A) the Holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he or she is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (B) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the Holder that he or she is no longer subject to backup withholding; or (ii) an adequate basis for exemption from backup withholding. If such Holder is an individual, the TIN is such Holder's social security number. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct taxpayer identification number, the Holder may be subject to certain penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Certain Holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. Exempt Holders should indicate their exempt status on Substitute Form W-9. A foreign individual may qualify as an exempt recipient by submitting to the Exchange Agent a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (which the Exchange Agent will provide upon request) signed under penalty of perjury, attesting to the Holder's exempt status. See the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 (the "Guidelines") for additional instructions. If backup withholding applies, the Company is required to withhold 31% of any payment made to the Holder or other payee. Backup withholding is not an additional federal income tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service. The Holder is required to give the Exchange Agent the TIN (e.g., social security number or employer identification number) of the record owner of the Private Notes. If the Private Notes are held in more than one name or are not held in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed Guidelines for additional guidance regarding which number to report. 13 PAYOR'S NAME: U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBSTITUTE PART 1--PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR TIN IN Social Security Number FORM W-9 THE BOX AT RIGHT AND CERTIFY BY OR DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY SIGNING AND DATING BELOW ---------------------- INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE Employer Identification Number ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2--Certification Under PART 3-- Penalties of Perjury, I certify Awaiting TIN / / PAYER'S REQUEST FOR that: TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION (1) The number shown on this form is NUMBER (TIN) AND my current taxpayer identification CERTIFICATION number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me) and (2) I am not subject to backup withholding either because I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends, or the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Certification instructions--You must cross out item (2) in Part 2 above if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding because of underreporting interest or dividends on your tax return.

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE.--Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividend, interest, or other payments to give taxpayer identification numbers to payers who must report the payments to IRS. IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes. Payers must be given the numbers whether or not recipients are required to file tax returns. Beginning January 1, 1993, payers must generally withhold 31% of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply. PENALTIES (1) PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO FURNISH TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.--If you fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. (2) FAILURE TO REPORT CERTAIN DIVIDEND AND INTEREST PAYMENTS.--If you fail to include any portion of an includible payment for interest, dividends, or patronage dividends in gross income, such failure will be treated as being due to negligence and will be subject to a penalty of 5% on any portion of an under-payment attributable to that failure unless there is clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. (3) CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING.--If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500. (4) CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION.--Falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
