               5.3 Dividends.
                    (a) The holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends.
                    (b) So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend on any shares of Junior Stock or make any payment on account of, or set apart for payment money for a sinking or other similar fund for, the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, any shares of Junior Stock or any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into any shares of Junior Stock, or make any distribution in respect thereof, either directly or indirectly, whether in cash, obligations or shares of the Corporation or other property (all such payments and other actions set forth above in this Section 5.3(b) being collectively referred to as “Restricted Junior Payments”).

If upon any liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Company, the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay in full the foregoing liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, then the holders of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in such distribution of assets in accordance with the amount that would be payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled were paid in full.
                    (b) For the purposes of this Section 5.4, neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all or part of the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more other

4


 

corporations shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the affairs of the Corporation (unless such sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer is in connection with a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation in which event the provisions of Section 5.6, if applicable, and not this Section 5.4, shall apply).
               5.5 Optional Redemption.
                    (a) To the extent not prohibited under the Credit Agreement, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem at any time, in whole or in part, in the manner provided in Section 5.5(b), from any source of funds legally available therefor, any or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a redemption price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference (the “Optional Redemption Price”).
                    (b) At least thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed by the Corporation for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Optional Redemption Date”), the Corporation shall mail a notice of Redemption (the “Optional Redemption Notice”) by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record on the record date fixed for such redemption at such holder’s address as it appears on the stock register of the Corporation; provided, however, that neither the failure to give such notice nor any deficiency therein shall affect the validity of the procedure for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed except as to the holder or holders to whom the Corporation has failed to give said notice or except as to the holder or holders whose notice was defective. The Optional Redemption Notice shall state:

5

                    (ii) the Optional Redemption Price;
                    (iii) whether all or less than all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock redeemable thereunder are to be redeemed and the total number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed;

                    (vi) that the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, at the place or places where certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for redemption, in the manner designated, his or her certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
                    (c) In the event of an optional redemption pursuant to Section 5.5(a) of only a portion of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall effect such redemption pro rata to the nearest whole share according to the number of shares held by each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock.
                    (d) Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation, duly endorsed, in the manner and at the place designated in the

6


 

Optional Redemption Notice, and on the Optional Redemption Date the full Optional Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable in cash to the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired. In the event that less than all of the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued by the Corporation representing the unredeemed shares.
                    (e) Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price, the holders of such redeemed shares shall cease to have any further rights with respect thereto on the Optional Redemption Date, other than the right to receive the Optional Redemption Price.

                    (a) Subject to the Credit Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, from any source of funds legally available therefor, the Liquidation Preference and shall not be entitled to further participation or payment in respect of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, provided that notwithstanding anything in this Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, in the event of the consummation of the merger contemplated by that Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 13, 2007, as amended, supplemented and/or restated from time to time, by and among Rank Group Limited, Packaging Holdings Inc., the Corporation and, solely in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative, KPS Special Situations Fund, L.P., (the “Merger Agreement”), the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Series A Preferred Stock the sum of (i) the Per Share Initial Preferred Stock

In the case of a Change of Control transaction resulting from a merger (including a merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement), the Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the amount of such Liquidation Preference (or the amount referred to in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement) upon the consummation of such merger without further action by any holder of Series A Preferred Stock.
                    (b) To the extent that any securities laws or regulations conflict with the foregoing, such laws and regulations shall control.
               5.7 Voting Rights.

8


 

the Series A Preferred Stock so as to effect the class of Series A Preferred Stock adversely.

Persons who are not directors or officers of the Corporation (or otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to the preceding sentence)

15


 

may be similarly indemnified in respect of service to the Corporation or to an Other Entity at the request of the Corporation to the extent the Board at any time specifies that such persons are entitled to the benefits of this Section 8.
               8.2 The Corporation shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any director or officer or other person entitled to indemnification hereunder the funds necessary for payment of expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any Proceeding, in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that, if required by the General Corporation Law, such expenses incurred by or on behalf of any director or officer or other person may be paid in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding only upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer (or other person indemnified hereunder), to repay any such amount so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal that such director, officer or other person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.
               8.3 The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 8 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses may have or hereafter be entitled under any statute, this Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws of the Corporation (the “By-laws”), any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

16


 

               8.4 The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 8 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer (or other person indemnified hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.
               8.5 The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of an Other Entity, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 8, the By-laws or under section 145 of the General Corporation Law or any other provision of law.
               8.6 The provisions of this Section 8 shall be a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and each director and officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 8 is in effect and any other person entitled to indemnification hereunder, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Corporation and each such director, officer, or other person intend to be, and shall be, legally bound. No repeal or modification of this Section 8 shall affect any rights or obligations with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or thereafter arising or any proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.

17


 

               8.7 The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 8 shall be enforceable by any person entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is not appropriate shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is proper in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) that such person is not entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses shall constitute a defense to the action or create a presumption that such person is not so entitled. Such a person shall also be indemnified for any expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding.
               8.8 Any director or officer of the Corporation serving in any capacity of (a) another corporation of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of its directors is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or (b) any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any corporation referred to in clause (a) shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Corporation.
               8.9 Any person entitled to be indemnified or to reimbursement or advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Section 8 may elect to

18


 

have the right to indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the applicable Proceeding, to the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought. Such election shall be made, by a notice in writing to the Corporation, at the time indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought; provided, however, that if no such notice is given, the right to indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses shall be determined by the law in effect at the time indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought.
          9. Adoption, Amendment and/or Repeal of By-Laws. The Board may from time to time adopt, amend or repeal the By-laws of the Corporation; provided, however, that any By-laws adopted or amended by the Board may be amended or repealed, and any By-laws may be adopted, by the stockholders of the Corporation by vote of a majority of the holders of shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation.
