- 14 -


 

7.2   Notwithstanding Section 1277 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgee is entitled to exercise its rights without obtaining enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel). The Pledgee shall be entitled to have the Pledges enforced in any manner allowed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular have the Pledges sold (including at public auction).
 
7.3   Each Pledgor hereby expressly agrees that 5 (five) business days’ prior written notice to the respective Pledgor of the place and time of any such sale shall be sufficient and the Pledgee shall not be obliged to deliver any further notices (including, but not limited to the notices set out under Section 1234 of the German Civil Code) to the respective Pledgor prior to such sale.

7.6   Even if the requirements for enforcement referred to under sub-Clause 7.1 above are met, the Pledgee shall not, whether as proxy or otherwise, be entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the Shares. However, each Pledgor shall, during the continuation of an event which allows the Pledgee to enforce the Pledges, have the obligations and the Pledgee shall have the rights set forth in sub-Clause 10.6 below regardless of which resolutions are intended to be adopted.
 
7.7   The Pledgee may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests, if applicable, shall be used to satisfy the Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby expressly waives its right pursuant to Section 1230 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code to limit the realisation of the Pledges and pledges over the shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies to such number of pledges as are necessary to satisfy the Obligations and agrees further that the Pledgee may decide to enforce the Pledges over the shares in the Company individually in separate proceedings or together with pledges over shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies at one single proceeding (Gesamtverwertung).
 
7.8   Each Pledgor hereby expressly waives all defences of revocation (Einrede der Anfechtbarkeit) and set-off (Einrede der Aufrechenbarkeit) pursuant to Sections 770, 1211 of the German Civil Code.

8.   LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT
 
8.1   The Pledgee shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledges 1 towards satisfaction of the Obligations without limitation in respect of:
  (a)   all and any amounts which are owed under the Credit Documents by Pledgor 1 itself, the Company or by any of their subsidiaries; and
 
  (b)   all and any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed or otherwise raised under the Credit Documents, in each case to the extent borrowed, on-lent or otherwise passed on to, or issued for the benefit of, Pledgor 1, the Company or any of their subsidiaries, or for the benefit of any of their creditors and in each case not repaid and outstanding from time to time
    (in aggregate, the “Unlimited Enforcement Amount”).
 
8.2   Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Pledges 1 towards satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount pursuant to Clause 8.1 above, the Pledgee shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledges 1 towards satisfaction of the Obligations but shall return to Pledgor 1 proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledges 1 if and to the extent that:
  (a)   the Pledges 1 secure the obligations of a Grantor which is (x) a shareholder of Pledgor 1 or (y) an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) of a shareholder of Pledgor 1 (other than Pledgor 1 and its subsidiaries); and
 
  (b)   the application of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledges 1 towards the Obligations would have the effect of (x) reducing Pledgor l’s net assets (Reinvermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount of less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets are already an amount of less than its stated share capital, of causing such amount to be further reduced and (y) would thereby affect the assets required for the obligatory preservation of Pledgor l’s stated share capital (Stammkapital) according to section 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) provided that the amount of the stated share capital to be taken into consideration shall be the amount registered in the commercial register at the date hereof, and any increase of the stated share capital registered after the date of this Agreement shall only be

- 16 -


 

      taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
8.3   The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of Pledgor l’s assets (consisting of all assets which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section(2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the aggregate amount of Pledgor l’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code), save that:
  (a)   any asset that is shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such asset and that is not necessary for Pledgor l’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value;
 
  (b)   obligations under loans provided to Pledgor 1 by any member of the Group or any other affiliated company shall not be taken into account as liabilities as far as such loans are subordinated by law or by contract at least to the claims of the unsubordinated creditors of Pledgor 1; and
 
  (c)   obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by Pledgor 1 in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.
    The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and be based on the same principles that were applied by Pledgor 1 in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz).
 
    It being understood that the assets of Pledgor 1 will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of Pledgor 1, at the time they prepare the Management Determination (as defined below) are, due to factual or legal circumstances at that time, in their opinion not able to make a positive prognosis as to whether the business of Pledgor 1 can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose), in particular when the Pledges 1 are enforced.
 
8.4   The limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above shall only apply if and to the extent that:
  (a)   without undue delay, but not later than within 5 business days, after receipt of a notification by the Collateral Agent of its intention to enforce the Pledges 1 (the “Notice”), Pledgor 1 has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such Pledges 1 are up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 8.2 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledges 1 attributable to the enforcement of such upstream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the Obligations but would have to be returned to Pledgor 1 as it would otherwise cause the Net Assets of Pledgor 1 to fall below its stated share capital (taking

- 17 -


 

      into account the adjustments set out in Clause 8.3 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain Pledgor l’s stated share capital; or
 
  (b)   within 20 business days from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent receives from Pledgor 1 an up to date balance sheet prepared by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Determining Auditors”) which shows the value of Pledgor l’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 8.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 8.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of Pledgor 1 should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to items to be adjusted pursuant to Clause 8.3 above. If Pledgor 1 fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Pledgee shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledges 1 towards satisfaction of the Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above.
8.5   If the Pledgee disagrees with the Balance Sheet it shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledges 1 in satisfaction of the Obligations up to an amount which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Obligations in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which Pledgor 1 is liable under this Agreement, the Pledgee shall be entitled to further pursue its claims (if any) and Pledgor 1 shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Pledgee has given notice that it intends to enforce the security created under this Agreement).
 
8.6   No reduction of the amount enforceable or applicable towards satisfaction of the Obligations under this Clause 8 will prejudice the right of the Pledgee to continue enforcing the Pledges 1 (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured.
 
9.   APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION
 
    Each Pledgor as the shareholders of the Company hereby approve the Pledges over the Shares and over any and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Shares (as more particularly specified in Clause 4) and pursuant to the articles of association of the Company the Pledges are not subject to any approval of the Company.

In particular, the respective Pledgor shall promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment;
 
10.5   in the event of any increase in the capital of the Company, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder;
 
10.6   to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning the Company of which the respective Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee.

Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 14.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations;

10.10   for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 10.1 through 10.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge Agreement provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and the Existing Share Pledge Agreement.
 
11.   DELEGATION
 
    The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.
 
12.   INDEMNITY
 
    The Pledgors shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 12, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pledgee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Pledgors shall indemnify the Pledgee against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Pledgee’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and under German law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgors of their indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgors may defend themselves against such claim and the Pledgee shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate

- 20 -


 

    counsel and the Pledgors shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.
 
13.   NO LIABILITY
 
    Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahriässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder.
 
14.   DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
 
14.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the Obligations. The Pledges shall not cease to exist, if any Grantor under the Credit Documents has only temporarily discharged the Obligations.
 
14.2   This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgors pursuant to it.
 
14.3   This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.
 
14.4   Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgors hereby agree that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party.
 
15.   RELEASE OF PLEDGE (PFANDFREIGABE)
 
15.1   Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledges (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgors as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties are aware that upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledges, due to its accessory nature (Akzessorietät) ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law.

- 21 -


 

15.2   At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgors and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of any of the Pledgors release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
 
15.3   The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledges (Pfandfreigabe) to each Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
 
16.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
 
16.1   If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.
 
16.2   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
 
16.3   In particular, the Pledges shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in the Company even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of the Company as stated in Clause 2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts.
 
17.   AMENDMENTS
 
    Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 17 shall be made in writing except where notarisation is required.

Further, the taking of proceedings against any Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The Notary advised the persons appearing:
  that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
  that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
  that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.

7.9   The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its defences based on defences any Grantor might have against any of the Obligations (Einreden des Hauptschuldners) pursuant to Section 1211 para 1 sentence 1 alternative 1 of the German Civil Code.
 
7.10   If the Pledge is enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Obligations (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of claims to a pledgor - Forderungsübergang auf den Verpfänder) shall not apply and no rights of the Pledgee shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise. Further, the Pledgor shall at no time before, on or after an enforcement of the Pledge and as a result of the Pledgor entering into this Agreement, be entitled to demand indemnification or compensation from the Company or the Company’s affiliates or to assign any of these claims.
 
8.   UNLAWFUL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
 
    No obligations shall be included in the definition of Obligations to the extent that, if they were included, the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement or any part thereof would be void as a result of violation of the prohibition on financial assistance contained in Article 2:98c and 2:207c Dutch Civil Code or any other applicable financial assistance rules under any relevant jurisdiction (the “Prohibition”) and all provisions hereof will be interpreted accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement will continue to secure those obligations which, if included in the definition of Obligations, will not constitute a violation of the Prohibition,
 
9.   APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION
 
    The Pledgor as the sole shareholder of the Company hereby approves the Pledge over the Shares and over any and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Shares (as more particularly specified in Clause 4) and pursuant to the articles of association of the Company the Pledge is not subject to any approval of the Company.

- 15 -


 

10.   UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR
 
    Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, during the term of this Agreement, the Pledgor undertakes to the Pledgee:
 
10.1   to promptly effect any contributions in cash (Bareinlage) or kind (Sacheinlage) to be made in respect of the Shares;
 
10.2   to inform the Pledgee promptly of any change made in the registered share capital of the Company, or any changes made to the articles of association of the Company which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee and in each such case to promptly deliver to the Pledgee a copy of the updated shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) and a copy of the amended articles of association (Satzung) both as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister);
 
10.3   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing of the registration of an objection (Widerspruch) in relation to the Shares of the Pledgor in the shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister).
 
10.4   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Shares or any ancillary rights set out in sub-Clause 4.1 such notice to be accompanied by any documents the Pledgee might need to defend itself against any claim of a third party. In particular, the Pledgor shall promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment;
 
10.5   in the event of any increase in the capital of the Company, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder;
 
10.6   to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning the Company of which the Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor shall notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, forthwith of any shareholders’ meeting at which a shareholders’ resolution is intended to be adopted which would have a materially adverse effect upon the Pledge. The Pledgor shall allow, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the circumstances which permit the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge constituted hereunder in accordance with Clause 7, the Pledgee or, as the case may be, its proxy or any other person designated by the Pledgee, to participate in all such shareholders’ meetings of the Company as attendants without power to vote. Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 14.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations;

- 16 -


 

10.7   to refrain from any acts or omissions, subject to the performance of its rights and duties under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the dilution of the value of the Shares or the Shares ceasing to exist, unless permitted by the Pledgee (acting reasonably);
 
10.8   not to amend the articles of association of the Company to the extent that such amendment would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee created hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
 
10.9   insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledge in favour of the Pledgee and at the Pledgee’s reasonable request (acting on the reasonable instructions of the Secured Parties), to make such declarations and undertake such actions at its own costs and expenses; and
 
10.10   for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 10.1 through 10.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and each Existing Share Pledge Agreement.
 
11.   DELEGATION
 
    The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.
 
12.   INDEMNITY
 
    The Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 12, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pledgee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Pledgee’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and under German law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgor may defend itself against such claim and the Pledgee shall

- 17 -


 

    provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate counsel and the Pledgor shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.
 
13.   NO LIABILITY
 
    Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder.
 
14.   DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
 
14.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the Obligations. The Pledge shall not cease to exist, if any Grantor under the Credit Documents has only temporarily discharged the Obligations.
 
14.2   This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.
 
14.3   This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.
 
14.4   Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party.
 
15.   RELEASE OF PLEDGE (PFANDFREIGABE)
 
15.1   Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties are aware

- 18 -


 

    that upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledge, due to its accessory nature (Akzessorietät) ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
 
15.2   At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
 
15.3   The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
 
16.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
 
16.1   If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.
 
16.2   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
 
16.3   In particular, the Pledge shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in the Company even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of the Company as stated in Clause 2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts.
 
17.   AMENDMENTS
 
    Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 17 shall be made in writing except where notarisation is required.

19.   NOTIFICATION
 
19.1   The Pledgor and the Pledgee hereby give notice of this Agreement and the Pledge of the rights pursuant to Clause 3 and Clause 4 to the Company.
 
19.2   The Company hereby acknowledges the notification pursuant to Clause 19.1 above.

- 21 -


 

20.   APPLICABLE LAW, JURISDICTION
 
20.1   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
20.2   The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the courts in Frankfurt am Main. The Pledgee however, shall also be entitled to take action against the Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Notary advised the persons appearing:
  that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
  that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
  that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.

  (c)   Notwithstanding Section 1277 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgee is entitled to exercise its rights without obtaining enforceable judgment or other instrument (yollstreckbarer Titel). The Pledgee shall be entitled to have the

- 14 -


 

      Pledge enforced in any manner allowed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular have the Pledge sold (including at public auction).
7.2   The Pledgor hereby expressly agrees that 5 (five) business days’ prior written notice to the Pledgor of the place and time of any such sale shall be sufficient and the Pledgee shall not be obliged to deliver any further notices (including, but not limited to the notices set out under Section 1234 of the German Civil Code) to the Pledgor prior to such sale. The sale may take place at any place in the Federal Republic of Germany designated by the Pledgee.
 
7.3   If the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Secured Parties) should seek to enforce the Pledge under sub-Clause 7.1, the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all necessary assistance in order to facilitate the prompt sale of the Shares or any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Pledgee of any other right it may have as Pledgee.
 
7.4   Whilst the requirements for enforcement under sub-Clause 7.1 are continuing, all subsequent dividend payments attributable to the Shares and all payments based on similar ancillary rights attributed to the Shares may be applied by the Pledgee in satisfaction in whole or in part of the Obligations or treated as additional collateral.
 
7.5   Even if the requirements for enforcement referred to under sub-Clause 7.1 above are met, the Pledgee shall not, whether as proxy or otherwise, be entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the Shares.

7.6   The Pledgee may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests, if applicable, shall be used to satisfy the Obligations. The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its right pursuant to Section 1230 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code to limit the realisation of the Pledge and pledges over the shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies to such number of pledges as are necessary to satisfy the Obligations and agrees further that the Pledgee may decide to enforce the Pledge over the shares in the Company individually in separate proceedings or together with pledges over shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies at one single proceeding (Gesamtverwertung).
 
7.7   The Pledgor hereby expressly waives all defences of revocation (Einrede der Anfechtbarkeif) 7 and set-off (Einrede der Aufrechenbarkeit) pursuant to Sections 770, 1211 of the German Civil Code.

7.9   If the Pledge is enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Obligations (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of

- 15 -


 

    claims to a pledgor — Forderungsübergang auf den Verpfänder) shall not apply and no rights of the Pledgee shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise. Further, the Pledgor shall at no time before, on or after an enforcement of the Pledge and as a result of the Pledgor entering into this Agreement, be entitled to demand indemnification or compensation from the Company or the Company’s affiliates or to assign any of these claims.
8.   SWISS LIMITATIONS
 
8.1   Proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge shall only be applied towards satisfaction of the Obligations in relation to obligations of any Grantor (other than obligations under the Credit Documents of (i) the Pledgor (v) incurred as Borrower under the Credit Agreement, (w) incurred as borrower under a Local Facility Agreement, (x) incurred as a party to and beneficiary under any hedging agreement entered into with an Hedge Counterparty, (y) owed as cash management obligations to a Cash Management Bank for Cash Management Services, provided the Pledgor is a beneficiary of the Cash Management Services causing such cash management obligations or (z) to the extent certain proceeds of the 2009 Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the October 2010 Secured Notes Indenture, the February 2011 Secured Notes Indenture or the New Secured Notes Indenture have been made available to the Pledgor, up to such proceeds and (ii) a Pledgor’s Subsidiary (v) incurred as Borrower under the Credit Agreement, (w) incurred as borrower under a Local Facility Agreement, (x) incurred as a party to and beneficiary under any hedging agreement entered into with an Hedge Counterparty (y) owed as cash management obligations to a Cash Management Bank for Cash Management Services, provided the Pledgor’s Subsidiary is a beneficiary of the Cash Management Services causing such cash management obligations or (z) to the extent certain proceeds of the 2009 Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the October 2010 Secured Notes Indenture, the February 2011 Secured Notes Indenture or the New Secured Notes Indenture have been made available to the Pledgor’s Subsidiary, up to such proceeds) to the extent application of the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards such obligations does not constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerueckgewaehr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschuetzte Reserven) or a payment of a (constructive) dividend prohibited by the Swiss Federal Code of Obligations by the Pledgor and in the maximum amount of the Pledgor’s profits available for the distribution of dividends at the point in time the Pledge is enforced (being the balance sheet profits and any free reserves made for this purpose, in each case in accordance with the relevant Swiss law) (the “Available Enforcement Proceeds”). From the proceeds of an enforcement an amount equal to the sum of (i) the excess, if any, of the enforcement proceeds over the Available Enforcement Proceeds plus (ii) the Tax Payment Amount (as defined below) shall be returned to the Pledgor;
 
8.2   for such application of the Available Enforcement Proceeds towards satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledgor shall procure to pass a shareholders’ resolutions for the distribution of dividends in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Swiss Federal Code of Obligations being in force at that time (currently the profits available for the distribution of dividends as described above must be determined based on an

- 16 -


 

    audited balance sheet and such shareholders’ resolution must be based on the report from the Pledgor’s auditors approving the proposed distribution of dividends); and
8.3   deduct from the Available Enforcement Proceeds Swiss Anticipatory Tax (withholding tax) at the rate of 35% (or such other rate as in force from time to time) and subject to any applicable double taxation treaty and/or agreements entered into with the Swiss Federal Tax administration (the “Tax Payment Amount”):
  (a)   pay the Tax Payment Amount to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
 
  (b)   give evidence to the respective beneficiary or beneficiaries (as the case may be) of such deduction of the Tax Payment Amount in accordance with Clause 2.20 (Taxes) of the Credit Agreement and Clause 4.15 (Withholding Taxes) of the 2009 Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the October 2010 Secured Notes Indenture, the February 2011 Secured Notes Indenture or the New Secured Notes Indenture.
    But if such a deduction is made, the Pledgor shall not be obliged to gross-up pursuant to Clause 2.20 (Taxes) of the Credit Agreement or Clause 4.15 (Withholding taxes) of the 2009 Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the October 2010 Secured Notes Indenture, the February 2011 Secured Notes Indenture or the New Secured Notes Indenture to the extent that such gross-up would result in the aggregate of the amounts of the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge applied by the beneficiary or beneficiaries (as the case may be) towards satisfaction of the Obligations and the Tax Payment Amount paid to the Swiss Federal Tax administration exceeding the maximum amount of its profits available for the distribution of dividends.
 
9.   UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR
 
    Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, during the term of this Agreement, the Pledgor undertakes to the Pledgee:
 
9.1   to promptly effect any contributions in cash (Bareinlage) or kind (Sacheinlage) to be made in respect of the Shares;
 
9.2   to inform the Pledgee promptly of any change made in the registered share capital of the Company, or any changes made to the articles of association of the Company which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee and in each such case to promptly deliver to the Pledgee a copy of the updated shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) and a copy of the amended articles of association (Satzung) both as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister);
 
9.3   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing of the registration of an objection (Widerspruch) in relation to the Shares of the Pledgor in the shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister).

- 17 -


 

9.4   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Shares or any ancillary rights set out in sub-Clause 4.1 such notice to be accompanied by any documents the Pledgee might need to defend itself against any claim of a third party. In particular, the Pledgor shall promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment;
 
9.5   in the event of any increase in the capital of the Company, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder;
 
9.6   to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning the Company of which the Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor shall notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, forthwith of any shareholders’ meeting at which a shareholders’ resolution is intended to be adopted which would have a materially adverse effect upon the Pledge. The Pledgor shall allow, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the circumstances which permit the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge constituted hereunder in accordance with Clause 7, the Pledgee or, as the case may be, its proxy or any other person designated by the Pledgee, to participate in all such shareholders’ meetings of the Company as attendants without power to vote. Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 13.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations;
 
9.7   to refrain from any acts or omissions, subject to the performance of its rights and duties under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the dilution of the value of the Shares or the Shares ceasing to exist, unless permitted by the Pledgee (acting reasonably);
 
9.8   not to amend the articles of association of the Company to the extent that such amendment would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee created hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
 
9.9   insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledge in favour of the Pledgee and at the Pledgee’s reasonable request (acting on the reasonable instructions of the Secured Parties), to make such declarations and undertake such actions at its own costs and expenses; and
 
9.10   for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 9.1 through 9.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and each Existing Share Pledge Agreement.

- 18 -


 

10.   DELEGATION
 
    The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.
 
11.   INDEMNITY
 
    The Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 11, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pledgee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Pledgee’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and under German law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgor may defend itself against such claim and the Pledgee shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate counsel and the Pledgor shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlassigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.
 
12.   NO LIABILITY
 
    Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of willful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder.

- 19 -


 

13.   DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
 
13.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the Obligations. The Pledge shall not cease to exist, if any Grantor under the Credit Documents has only temporarily discharged the Obligations.
 
13.2   This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.
 
13.3   This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.
 
13.4   Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party.
 
14.   RELEASE OF PLEDGE (PFANDFREIGABE)
 
14.1   Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties are aware that upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledge, due to its accessory nature (Akzessorietät) ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
 
14.2   At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
 
14.3   The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
 
15.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
 
15.1   If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall

- 20 -


 

    as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.
 
15.2   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
 
15.3   In particular, the Pledge shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in the Company even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of the Company as stated in Clause 2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts.
 
16.   AMENDMENTS
 
    Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 16 shall be made in writing except where notarisation is required.

The Pledgee however, shall also be entitled to take action against the Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Notary advised the persons appearing:
  that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
  that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide

- 23 -


 

    creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
  that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.

- 13 -


 

6.   EXERCISE OF MEMBERSHIP RIGHTS
 
    The membership rights, including the voting rights, attached to the Shares remain with the Pledgor. The Pledgor may exercise its membership rights in any manner which does not adversely affect the validity and enforceability of the Pledge, the existence of all or part of the Shares or cause an Event of Default to occur. The Pledgor undertakes, unless otherwise agreed between the parties, that no resolutions will be passed which would, if passed, constitute a breach of its obligations under Clause 1010 or any other obligation under this Agreement.
 
7.   ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLEDGES
 
7.1   If (i) an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the requirements set forth in Sections 1273 para 2, 1204 et seg. of the German Civil Code with regard to the enforcement of the Pledge are met (Pfandreife), in particular, if any of the Obligations have become due and payable, then in order to enforce the Pledge, the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Secured Parties) may at any time thereafter avail itself of all rights and remedies that a pledgee has against a pledgor under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
7.2   Notwithstanding Section 1277 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgee is entitled to exercise its rights without obtaining enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel). The Pledgee shall be entitled to have the Pledge enforced in any manner allowed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular have the Pledge sold (including at public auction).
 
7.3   The Pledgor hereby expressly agrees that 5 (five) business days’ prior written notice to the Pledgor of the place and time of any such sale shall be sufficient and the Pledgee shall not be obliged to deliver any further notices (including, but not limited to the notices set out under Section 1234 of the German Civil Code) to the Pledgor prior to such sale. The sale may take place at any place in the Federal Republic of Germany designated by the Pledgee.
 
7.4   If the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Secured Parties) should seek to enforce the Pledge under sub-Clause 7.1, the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all necessary assistance in order to facilitate the prompt sale of the Shares or any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Pledgee of any other right it may have as Pledgee.
 
7.5   Whilst the requirements for enforcement under sub-Clause 7.1 are continuing, all subsequent dividend payments attributable to the Shares and all payments based on similar ancillary rights attributed to the Shares may be applied by the Pledgee in satisfaction in whole or in part of the Obligations or treated as additional collateral.
 
7.6   Even if the requirements for enforcement referred to under sub-Clause 7.1 above are met, the Pledgee shall not, whether as proxy or otherwise, be entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the Shares. However, the Pledgor shall, during the continuation of an event which allows the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge, have the

- 14 -


 

    obligations and the Pledgee shall have the rights set forth in sub-Clause 10.6 below regardless of which resolutions are intended to be adopted.
 
7.7   The Pledgee may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests, if applicable, shall be used to satisfy the Obligations. The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its right pursuant to Section 1230 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code to limit the realisation of the Pledge and pledges over the shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies to such number of pledges as are necessary to satisfy the Obligations and agrees further that the Pledgee may decide to enforce the Pledge over the shares in the Company individually in separate proceedings or together with pledges over shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies at one single proceeding (Gesamtverwertung).
 
7.8   The Pledgor hereby expressly waives all defences of revocation (Einrede der Anfechtbarkeit) and set-off (Einrede der Aufrechenbarkeit) pursuant to Sections 770, 1211 of the German Civil Code.
 
7.9   The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its defences based on defences any Grantor might have against any of the Obligations (Einreden des Hauptschuldners) pursuant to Section 1211 para 1 sentence 1 alternative 1 of the German Civil Code.
 
7.10   If the Pledge is enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Obligations (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of claims to a pledgor — Forderungsubergang auf den Verpfander) shall not apply and no rights of the Pledgee shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise. Further, the Pledgor shall at no time before, on or after an enforcement of the Pledge and as a result of the Pledgor entering into this Agreement, be entitled to demand indemnification or compensation from the Company or the Company’s affiliates or to assign any of these claims.
 
8.   LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT
 
8.1   The Pledgee shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations without limitation in respect of:
  (a)   all and any amounts which are owed under the Credit Documents by the Pledgor itself, the Company or by any of their subsidiaries; and
 
  (b)   all and any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed or otherwise raised under the Credit Documents, in each case to the extent borrowed, on-lent or otherwise passed on to, or issued for the benefit of, the Pledgor, the Company or any of their subsidiaries, or for the benefit of any of their creditors and in each case not repaid and outstanding from time to time
    (in aggregate, the “Unlimited Enforcement Amount”).
 
8.2   Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount

- 15 -


 

    pursuant to Clause 8.1 above, the Pledgee shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations but shall return to the Pledgor proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge if and to the extent that:
  (a)   the Pledge secures the obligations of a Grantor which is (x) a shareholder of the Pledgor or (y) an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) of a shareholder of the Pledgor (other than the Pledgor and its subsidiaries); and
 
  (b)   the application of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards the Obligations would have the effect of (x) reducing the Pledgor’s net assets (Reinvermogen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount of less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets are already an amount of less than its stated share capital, of causing such amount to be further reduced and (y) would thereby affect the assets required for the obligatory preservation of the Pledgor’s stated share capital (Stammkapital) according to section 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) provided that the amount of the stated share capital to be taken into consideration shall be the amount registered in the commercial register at the date hereof, and any increase of the stated share capital registered after the date of this Agreement shall only be taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent,
8.3   The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of the Pledgor’s assets (consisting of all assets which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section(2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the aggregate amount of the Pledgor’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code), save that:
  (a)   any asset that is shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such asset and that is not necessary for the Pledgor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value;
 
  (b)   obligations under loans provided to the Pledgor by any member of the Group or any other affiliated company shall not be taken into account as liabilities as far as such loans are subordinated by law or by contract at least to the claims of the unsubordinated creditors of the Pledgor; and
 
  (c)   obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the Pledgor in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.
    The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsatze

- 16 -


 

    Ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and be based on the same principles that were applied by the Pledgor in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz).
 
    It being understood that the assets of the Pledgor will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of the Pledgor, at the time they prepare the Management Determination (as defined below) are, due to factual or legal circumstances at that time, in their opinion not able to make a positive prognosis as to whether the business of the Pledgor can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortfuhrungsprognose), in particular when the Pledge is enforced.
 
8.4   The limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above shall only apply if and to the extent that:
  (a)   without undue delay, but not later than within 5 business days, after receipt of a notification by the Collateral Agent of its intention to enforce the Pledge (the “Notice”), the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such Pledge is up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 8.2 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge attributable to the enforcement of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the Obligations but would have to be returned to the Pledgor as it would otherwise cause the Net Assets of the Pledgor to fall below its stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 8.3 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain the Pledgor’s stated share capital; or
 
  (b)   within 20 business days from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent receives from the Pledgor an up to date balance sheet prepared by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Determining Auditors”) which shows the value of the Pledgor’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 8.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 8.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of the Pledgor should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsatze ordnungsmaBiger Buchfuhrung) and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to items to be adjusted pursuant to Clause 8.3 above. If the Pledgor fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Pledgee shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above.
8.5   If the Pledgee disagrees with the Balance Sheet it shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge in satisfaction of the Obligations up to an amount

- 17 -


 

    which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Obligations in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which the Pledgor is liable under this Agreement, the Pledgee shall be entitled to further pursue its claims (if any) and the Pledgor shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Pledgee has given notice that it intends to enforce the security created under this Agreement).
 
8.6   No reduction of the amount enforceable or applicable towards satisfaction of the Obligations under this Clause 8 will prejudice the right of the Pledgee to continue enforcing the Pledge (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured.
 
9.   APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION
 
    The Pledgor as the sole shareholder of the Company hereby approves the Pledge over the Shares and over any and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Shares (as more particularly specified in Clause 4) and pursuant to the articles of association of the Company the Pledge is not subject to any approval of the Company.
 
10.   UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR
 
    Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, during the term of this Agreement, the Pledgor undertakes to the Pledgee:
 
10.1   to promptly effect any contributions in cash (Bareinlage) or kind (Sacheinlage) to be made in respect of the Shares;
 
10.2   to inform the Pledgee promptly of any change made in the registered share capital of the Company, or any changes made to the articles of association of the Company which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee and in each such case to promptly deliver to the Pledgee a copy of the updated shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) and a copy of the amended articles of association (Satzung) both as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister);
 
10.3   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing of the registration of an objection (Widerspruch) in relation to the Shares of the Pledgor in the shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister).
 
10.4   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Shares or any ancillary rights set out in sub-Clause 4.1 such notice to be accompanied by any documents the Pledgee might need to defend itself against any claim of a third party. In particular, the Pledgor shall promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment;

- 18 -


 

10.5   in the event of any increase in the capital of the Company, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder;
 
10.6   to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning the Company of which the Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor shall notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, forthwith of any shareholders’ meeting at which a shareholders’ resolution is intended to be adopted which would have a materially adverse effect upon the Pledge. The Pledgor shall allow, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the circumstances which permit the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge constituted hereunder in accordance with Clause 7, the Pledgee or, as the case may be, its proxy or any other person designated by the Pledgee, to participate in all such shareholders’ meetings of the Company as attendants without power to vote. Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 14.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations;
 
10.7   to refrain from any acts or omissions, subject to the performance of its rights and duties under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the dilution of the value of the Shares or the Shares ceasing to exist, unless permitted by the Pledgee (acting reasonably);
 
10.8   not to amend the articles of association of the Company to the extent that such amendment would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee created hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
 
10.9   insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledge in favour of the Pledgee and at the Pledgee’s reasonable request (acting on the reasonable instructions of the Secured Parties), to make such declarations and undertake such actions at its own costs and expenses; and
 
10.10   for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 10.1 through 10.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and each Existing Share Pledge Agreement.
 
11.   DELEGATION
 
    The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.

- 19 -


 

12.   INDEMNITY
 
    The Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 12, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pledgee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Pledgee’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and under German law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgor may defend itself against such claim and the Pledgee shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate counsel and the Pledgor shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahriässigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.
 
13.   NO LIABILITY
 
    Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahriässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder.
 
14.   DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
 
14.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the Obligations. The Pledge shall not cease to exist, if any Grantor under the Credit Documents has only temporarily discharged the Obligations.

- 20 -


 

14.2   This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.
 
14.3   This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.
 
14.4   Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party.
 
15.   RELEASE OF PLEDGE (PFANDFREIGABE)
 
15.1   Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties are aware that upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledge, due to its accessory nature (Akzessorietät) ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
 
15.2   At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
 
15.3   The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
 
16.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
 
16.1   If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become

- 21 -


 

    evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.
16.2   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
 
16.3   In particular, the Pledge shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in the Company even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of the Company as stated in Clause 1.2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts.
 
17.   AMENDMENTS

19.   NOTIFICATION
 
19.1   The Pledgor and the Pledgee hereby give notice of this Agreement and the Pledge of the rights pursuant to Clause 3 and Clause 4 to the Company.
 
19.2   The Company hereby acknowledges the notification pursuant to Clause 19.1 above.
 
20.   APPLICABLE LAW, JURISDICTION
 
20.1   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
20.2   The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the courts in Frankfurt am Main. The Pledgee however, shall also be entitled to take action against the Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Notary advised the persons appearing:
  that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
  that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
  that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.

      any domination and/or profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs-und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) or partial profit transfer agreement (Teilgewinnabführungsvertrag) which may be entered into between the Pledgor and the Company).
4.2   Notwithstanding that the items set out in Clause 4.1 above are pledged hereunder, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain the items set out in Clause 4.1 in respect of, and otherwise deal (in accordance with the agreements between the parties) with all items described in Clause 4.1 hereof in respect of the Shares at all times other than any time the Pledgee is entitled to enforce the Pledge constituted hereunder.

  (a)   all dividends paid or payable and any other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Shares;

5.   PURPOSE OF THE PLEDGES
 
    The Pledge hereunder is constituted in order to secure the prompt and complete satisfaction of any and all Obligations. The Pledge shall also cover any future extension of the Obligations and the Pledgor herewith expressly agrees that the provisions of Section 1210 para 1 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) shall not apply to this Agreement.
 
6.   EXERCISE OF MEMBERSHIP RIGHTS

The Pledgor undertakes, unless otherwise agreed between the parties, that no resolutions

- 13 -


 

    will be passed which would, if passed, constitute a breach of its obligations under Clause 10 or any other obligation under this Agreement.
7.   ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLEDGES
 
7.1   If (i) an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the requirements set forth in Sections 1273 para 2, 1204 et seq. of the German Civil Code with regard to the enforcement of the Pledge are met (Pfandreife), in particular, if any of the Obligations have become due and payable, then in order to enforce the Pledge, the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Secured Parties) may at any time thereafter avail itself of all rights and remedies that a pledgee has against a pledgor under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
7.2   Notwithstanding Section 1277 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgee is entitled to exercise its rights without obtaining enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel). The Pledgee shall be entitled to have the Pledge enforced in any manner allowed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular have the Pledge sold (including at public auction).
 
7.3   The Pledgor hereby expressly agrees that 5 (five) business days’ prior written notice to the Pledgor of the place and time of any such sale shall be sufficient and the Pledgee shall not be obliged to deliver any further notices (including, but not limited to the notices set out under Section 1234 of the German Civil Code) to the Pledgor prior to such sale. The sale may take place at any place in the Federal Republic of Germany designated by the Pledgee.
 
7.4   If the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Secured Parties) should seek to enforce the Pledge under sub-Clause 7.1, the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all necessary assistance in order to facilitate the prompt sale of the Shares or any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Pledgee of any other right it may have as Pledgee.
 
7.5   Whilst the requirements for enforcement under sub-Clause 7.1 are continuing, all subsequent dividend payments attributable to the Shares and all payments based on similar ancillary rights attributed to the Shares may be applied by the Pledgee in satisfaction in whole or in part of the Obligations or treated as additional collateral.
 
7.6   Even if the requirements for enforcement referred to under sub-Clause 7.1 above are met, the Pledgee shall not, whether as proxy or otherwise, be entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the Shares. However, the Pledgor shall, during the continuation of an event which allows the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge, have the obligations and the Pledgee shall have the rights set forth in sub-Clause 10.6 below regardless of which resolutions are intended to be adopted.
 
7.7   The Pledgee may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests, if applicable, shall be used to satisfy the Obligations. The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its right pursuant to Section 1230 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code to limit the realisation of the Pledge and pledges over the shares or partnership interests in one

- 14 -


 

    or more other companies to such number of pledges as are necessary to satisfy the Obligations and agrees further that the Pledgee may decide to enforce the Pledge over the shares in the Company individually in separate proceedings or together with pledges over shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies at one single proceeding (Gesamtverwertung).
7.8   The Pledgor hereby expressly waives all defences of revocation (Einrede der Anfechtbarkeit) and set-off (Einrede der Aufrechenbarkeit) pursuant to Sections 770, 1211 of the German Civil Code.
 
7.9   The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its defences based on defences any Grantor might have against any of the Obligations (Einreden des Hauptschuldners) pursuant to Section 1211 para 1 sentence 1 alternative 1 of the German Civil Code.
 
7.10   If the Pledge is enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Obligations (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of claims to a pledgor - Forderungsübergang auf den Verpfänder) shall not apply and no rights of the Pledgee shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise. Further, the Pledgor shall at no time before, on or after an enforcement of the Pledge and as a result of the Pledgor entering into this Agreement, be entitled to demand indemnification or compensation from the Company or the Company’s affiliates or to assign any of these claims.
 
8.   LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT
 
8.1   The Pledgee shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations without limitation in respect of:
  (a)   all and any amounts which are owed under the Credit Documents by the Pledgor itself, the Company or by any of their subsidiaries; and
 
  (b)   all and any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed or otherwise raised under the Credit Documents, in each case to the extent borrowed, on-lent or otherwise passed on to, or issued for the benefit of, the Pledgor, the Company or any of their subsidiaries, or for the benefit of any of their creditors and in each case not repaid and outstanding from time to time
    (in aggregate, the “Unlimited Enforcement Amount”).
 
8.2   Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount pursuant to Clause 8.1 above, the Pledgee shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations but shall return to the Pledgor proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge if and to the extent that:
  (a)   the Pledge secures the obligations of a Grantor which is (x) a shareholder of the Pledgor or (y) an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)

- 15 -


 

      of a shareholder of the Pledgor (other than the Pledgor and its subsidiaries); and
  (b)   the application of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards the Obligations would have the effect of (x) reducing the Pledgor’s net assets (Reinvermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount of less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets are already an amount of less than its stated share capital, of causing such amount to be further reduced and (y) would thereby affect the assets required for the obligatory preservation of the Pledgor’s stated share capital (Stammkapital) according to section 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) provided that the amount of the stated share capital to be taken into consideration shall be the amount registered in the commercial register at the date hereof, and any increase of the stated share capital registered after the date of this Agreement shall only be taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
8.3   The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of the Pledgor’s assets (consisting of all assets which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section(2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the aggregate amount of the Pledgor’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code), save that:
  (a)   any asset that is shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such asset and that is not necessary for the Pledgor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value;
 
  (b)   obligations under loans provided to the Pledgor by any member of the Group or any other affiliated company shall not be taken into account as liabilities as far as such loans are subordinated by law or by contract at least to the claims of the unsubordinated creditors of the Pledgor; and
 
  (c)   obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the Pledgor in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.
    The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and be based on the same principles that were applied by the Pledgor in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz).
 
    It being understood that the assets of the Pledgor will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of the Pledgor, at the time they prepare the Management Determination (as defined below) are, due to factual or legal

- 16 -


 

    circumstances at that time, in their opinion not able to make a positive prognosis as to whether the business of the Pledgor can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose), in particular when the Pledge is enforced.
8.4   The limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above shall only apply if and to the extent that:
  (a)   without undue delay, but not later than within 5 business days, after receipt of a notification by the Collateral Agent of its intention to enforce the Pledge (the “Notice”), the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such Pledge is up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 8.2 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge attributable to the enforcement of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the Obligations but would have to be returned to the Pledgor as it would otherwise cause the Net Assets of the Pledgor to fall below its stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 8.3 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain the Pledgor’s stated share capital; or
 
  (b)   within 20 business days from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent receives from the Pledgor an up to date balance sheet prepared by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Determining Auditors”) which shows the value of the Pledgor’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 8.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 8.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of the Pledgor should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßger Buchführung) and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to items to be adjusted pursuant to Clause 8.3 above. If the Pledgor fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Pledgee shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above.
8.5   If the Pledgee disagrees with the Balance Sheet it shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge in satisfaction of the Obligations up to an amount which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Obligations in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which the Pledgor is liable under this Agreement, the Pledgee shall be entitled to further pursue its claims (if any) and the Pledgor shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Pledgee has given notice that it intends to enforce the security created under this Agreement).

- 17 -


 

8.6   No reduction of the amount enforceable or applicable towards satisfaction of the Obligations under this Clause 8 will prejudice the right of the Pledgee to continue enforcing the Pledge (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured.
 
9.   APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION
 
    The Pledgor as the sole shareholder of the Company hereby approves the Pledge over the Shares and over any and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Shares (as more particularly specified in Clause 4) and pursuant to the articles of association of the Company the Pledge is not subject to any approval of the Company.

In particular, the Pledgor shall promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment;
 
10.5   in the event of any increase in the capital of the Company, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder;
 
10.6   to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning the Company of which the Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor shall notify the Pledgee,

- 18 -


 

    by notification in writing, forthwith of any shareholders’ meeting at which a shareholders’ resolution is intended to be adopted which would have a materially adverse effect upon the Pledge. The Pledgor shall allow, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the circumstances which permit the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge constituted hereunder in accordance with Clause 7, the Pledgee or, as the case may be, its proxy or any other person designated by the Pledgee, to participate in all such shareholders’ meetings of the Company as attendants without power to vote. Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 14.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations;
 
10.7   to refrain from any acts or omissions, subject to the performance of its rights and duties under the Existing Share Pledge Agreement, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the dilution of the value of the Shares or the Shares ceasing to exist, unless permitted by the Pledgee (acting reasonably);
 
10.8   not to amend the articles of association of the Company to the extent that such amendment would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee created hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
 
10.9   insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledge in favour of the Pledgee and at the Pledgee’s reasonable request (acting on the reasonable instructions of the Secured Parties), to make such declarations and undertake such actions at its own costs and expenses; and
 
10.10   for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 10.1 through 10.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge Agreement provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and the Existing Share Pledge Agreement.
 
11.   DELEGATION
 
    The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.
 
12.   INDEMNITY
 
    The Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 12, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pledgee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee against any and all loss, liability,

- 19 -


 

    claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Pledgee’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and under German law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgor may defend itself against such claim and the Pledgee shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate counsel and the Pledgor shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.
 
13.   NO LIABILITY
 
    Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder.
 
14.   DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
 
14.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the Obligations. The Pledge shall not cease to exist, if any Grantor under the Credit Documents has only temporarily discharged the Obligations.
 
14.2   This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.
 
14.3   This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.

- 20 -


 

14.4   Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party.
 
15.   RELEASE OF PLEDGE (PFANDFREIGABE)
 
15.1   Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties are aware that upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledge, due to its accessory nature (Akzessorietät) ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
 
15.2   At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
 
15.3   The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
 
16.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
 
16.1   If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.
 
16.2   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

- 21 -


 

16.3   In particular, the Pledge shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in the Company even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of the Company as stated in Clause 2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts.
 
17.   AMENDMENTS
 
    Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 17 shall be made in writing except where notarisation is required.

19.   NOTIFICATION
 
19.1   The Pledgor and the Pledgee hereby give notice of this Agreement and the Pledge of the rights pursuant to Clause 3 and Clause 4 to the Company.

- 23 -


 

20.   APPLICABLE LAW, JURISDICTION
 
20.1   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
20.2   The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the courts in Frankfurt am Main. The Pledgee however, shall also be entitled to take action against the Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Notary advised the persons appearing:
  that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
  that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
  that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.

7.9   The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its defences based on defences any Grantor might have against any of the Obligations (Einreden des Hauptschuldners) pursuant to Section 1211 para 1 sentence 1 alternative 1 of the German Civil Code.
 
7.10   If the Pledge is enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Obligations (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of claims to a pledgor — Forderungsübergang auf den Verpfänder) shall not apply and no rights of the Pledgee shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise. Further, the Pledgor shall at no time before, on or after an enforcement of the Pledge and as a result of the Pledgor entering into this Agreement, be entitled to demand indemnification or compensation from the Company or the Company’s affiliates or to assign any of these claims.
 
8.   LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT
 
8.1   The Pledgee shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations without limitation in respect of:
  (a)   all and any amounts which are owed under the Credit Documents by the Pledgor itself, the Company or by any of their subsidiaries; and
 
  (b)   all and any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed or otherwise raised under the Credit Documents, in each case to the extent borrowed, on-lent or otherwise passed on to, or issued for the benefit of, the Pledgor, the Company or any of their subsidiaries, or for the benefit of any of their creditors and in each case not repaid and outstanding from time to time
  (in aggregate, the “Unlimited Enforcement Amount”).
 
8.2   Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount

- 15 -


 

    pursuant to Clause 8.1 above, the Pledgee shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations but shall return to the Pledgor proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge if and to the extent that:
  (a)   the Pledge secures the obligations of a Grantor which is (x) a shareholder of the Pledgor or (y) an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) of a shareholder of the Pledgor (other than the Pledgor and its subsidiaries); and
 
  (b)   the application of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards the Obligations would have the effect of (x) reducing the Pledge’s net assets (Reinvermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount of less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets are already an amount of less than its stated share capital, of causing such amount to be further reduced and (y) would thereby affect the assets required for the obligatory preservation of the Pledgor’s stated share capital (Stammkapital) according to section 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) provided that the amount of the stated share capital to be taken into consideration shall be the amount registered in the commercial register at the date hereof, and any increase of the stated share capital registered after the date of this Agreement shall only be taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
8.3   The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of the Pledgor’s assets (consisting of all assets which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section(2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the aggregate amount of the Pledgor’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code), save that:
  (a)   any asset that is shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such asset and that is not necessary for the Pledgor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value;
 
  (b)   obligations under loans provided to the Pledgor by any member of the Group or any other affiliated company shall not be taken into account as liabilities as far as such loans are subordinated by law or by contract at least to the claims of the unsubordinated creditors of the Pledgor; and
 
  (c)   obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the Pledgor in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.
    The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze

- 16 -


 

    ordnungsmäβiger Buchführung) and be based on the same principles that were applied by the Pledgor in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz).
 
    It being understood that the assets of the Pledgor will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of the Pledgor, at the time they prepare the Management Determination (as defined below) are, due to factual or legal circumstances at that time, in their opinion not able to make a positive prognosis as to whether the business of the Pledgor can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose), in particular when the Pledge is enforced.
 
8.4   The limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above shall only apply if and to the extent that:
  (a)   without undue delay, but not later than within 5 business days, after receipt of a notification by the Collateral Agent of its intention to enforce the Pledge (the “Notice”), the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such Pledge is up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 8.2 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge attributable to the enforcement of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the Obligations but would have to be returned to the Pledgor as it would otherwise cause the Net Assets of the Pledgor to fall below its stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 8.3 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain the Pledgor’s stated share capital; or
 
  (b)   within 20 business days from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent receives from the Pledgor an up to date balance sheet prepared by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Determining Auditors”) which shows the value of the Pledgor’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 8.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 8.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of the Pledgor should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäβiger Buchführung) and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to items to be adjusted pursuant to Clause 8.3 above. If the Pledgor fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Pledgee shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above.
8.5   If the Pledgee disagrees with the Balance Sheet it shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge in satisfaction of the Obligations up to an amount

- 17 -


 

    which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Obligations in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which the Pledgor is liable under this Agreement, the Pledgee shall be entitled to further pursue its claims (if any) and the Pledgor shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Pledgee has given notice that it intends to enforce the security created under this Agreement).
 
8.6   No reduction of the amount enforceable or applicable towards satisfaction of the Obligations under this Clause 8 will prejudice the right of the Pledgee to continue enforcing the Pledge (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured.
 
9.   APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION
 
    The Pledgor as the sole shareholder of the Company hereby approves the Pledge over the Shares and over any and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Shares (as more particularly specified in Clause 4) and pursuant to the articles of association of the Company the Pledge is not subject to any approval of the Company.
 
10.   UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR
 
    Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, during the term of this Agreement, the Pledgor undertakes to the Pledgee:
 
10.1   to promptly effect any contributions in cash (Bareinlage) or kind (Sacheinlage) to be made in respect of the Shares;
 
10.2   to inform the Pledgee promptly of any change made in the registered share capital of the Company, or any changes made to the articles of association of the Company which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee and in each such case to promptly deliver to the Pledgee a copy of the updated shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) and a copy of the amended articles of association (Satzung) both as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister);
 
10.3   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing of the registration of an objection (Widerspruch) in relation to the Shares of the Pledgor in the shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister).
 
10.4   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Shares or any ancillary rights set out in sub-Clause 4.1 such notice to be accompanied by any documents the Pledgee might need to defend itself against any claim of a third party. In particular, the Pledgor shall promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment;

- 18 -


 

10.5   in the event of any increase in the capital of the Company, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder;
 
10.6   to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning the Company of which the Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor shall notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, forthwith of any shareholders’ meeting at which a shareholders’ resolution is intended to be adopted which would have a materially adverse effect upon the Pledge. The Pledgor shall allow, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the circumstances which permit the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge constituted hereunder in accordance with Clause 7, the Pledgee or, as the case may be, its proxy or any other person designated by the Pledgee, to participate in all such shareholders’ meetings of the Company as attendants without power to vote. Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 14.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations;
 
10.7   to refrain from any acts or omissions, subject to the performance of its rights and duties under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the dilution of the value of the Shares or the Shares ceasing to exist, unless permitted by the Pledgee (acting reasonably);
 
10.8   not to amend the articles of association of the Company to the extent that such amendment would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee created hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
 
10.9   insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledge in favour of the Pledgee and at the Pledgee’s reasonable request (acting on the reasonable instructions of the Secured Parties), to make such declarations and undertake such actions at its own costs and expenses; and
 
10.10   for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 10.1 through 10.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and each Existing Share Pledge Agreement.
 
11.   DELEGATION
 
    The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.

- 19 -


 

12.   INDEMNITY
 
    The Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 12, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pledgee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Pledgee’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and under German law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgor may defend itself against such claim and the Pledgee shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate counsel and the Pledgor shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.
 
13.   NO LIABILITY
 
    Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder.
 
14.   DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
 
14.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the Obligations. The Pledge shall not cease to exist, if any Grantor under the Credit Documents has only temporarily discharged the Obligations.

- 20 -


 

14.2   This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.
 
14.3   This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.
 
14.4   Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party.
 
15.   RELEASE OF PLEDGE (PFANDFREIGABE)
 
15.1   Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties are aware that upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledge, due to its accessory nature (Akzessorietät) ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
 
15.2   At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
 
15.3   The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
 
16.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
 
16.1   If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become

- 21 -


 

    evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.
16.2   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
 
16.3   In particular, the Pledge shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in the Company even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of the Company as stated in Clause 2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts.
 
17.   AMENDMENTS
 
    Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 17 shall be made in writing except where notarisation is required.

19.   NOTIFICATION
 
19.1   The Pledgor and the Pledgee hereby give notice of this Agreement and the Pledge of the rights pursuant to Clause 3 and Clause 4 to the Company.
 
19.2   The Company hereby acknowledges the notification pursuant to Clause 19.1 above.
 
20.   APPLICABLE LAW, JURISDICTION
 
20.1   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
20.2   The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the courts in Frankfurt am Main. The Pledgee however, shall also be entitled to take action against the Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Notary advised the persons appearing:
  that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
  that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
  that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.

7.1   If (i) an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the requirements set forth in Sections 1273 para 2, 1204 et seq. of the German Civil Code with regard to the enforcement of the Pledge are met (Pfandreife), in particular, if any of the Obligations has become due and payable, then in order to enforce the Pledge, the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Secured Parties) may at any time thereafter avail itself of all rights and remedies that a pledgee has against a pledgor under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
7.2   Notwithstanding Section 1277 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgee is entitled to exercise its rights without obtaining enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel), The Pledgee shall be entitled to have the Pledge enforced in any manner allowed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular have the Pledge sold (including at public auction).

The sale may take place at any place in the Federal Republic of Germany designated by the Pledgee.
 
7.4   If the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Secured Parties) should seek to enforce the Pledge under sub-Clause 7.1, the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all necessary assistance in order to facilitate the prompt sale of the Shares or any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Pledgee of any other right it may have as Pledgee.

However, the Pledgor shall, during the continuation of an event which allows the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge, have the

- 14 -


 

  obligations and the Pledgee shall have the rights set forth in sub-Clause 10.6 below regardless of which resolutions are intended to be adopted.
 
7.7   The Pledgee may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests, if applicable, shall be used to satisfy the Obligations. The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its right pursuant to Section 1230 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code to limit the realisation of the Pledge and pledges over the shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies to such number of pledges as are necessary to satisfy the Obligations and agrees further that the Pledgee may decide to enforce the Pledge over the shares in the Companies individually in separate proceedings or together with pledges over shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies at one single proceeding (Gesamtverwertung).

7.10   If the Pledge is enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Obligations (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of claims to a pledgor — Forderungsübergang auf den Verpfänder) shall not apply and no rights of the Pledgee shall pass to. the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise. Further, the Pledgor shall at no time before, on or after an enforcement of the Pledge and as a result of the Pledgor entering into this Agreement, be entitled to demand indemnification or compensation from any of the Companies or any of the Companies’ affiliates or to assign any of these claims.
 
8.   LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT
 
8.1   The Pledgee shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations without limitation in respect of:
  (a)   all and any amounts which are owed under the Credit Documents by the Pledgor itself, any of the Companies or by any of their subsidiaries; and
 
  (b)   all and any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed or otherwise raised under the Credit Documents, in each case to the extent borrowed, on-lent or otherwise passed on to, or issued for the benefit of, the Pledgor, any of the Companies or any of their subsidiaries, or for the benefit of any of their creditors and in each case not repaid and outstanding from time to time
    (in aggregate, the “Unlimited Enforcement Amount”).

- 15 -


 

8.2   Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount pursuant to Clause 8.1 above, the Pledgee shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations but shall return to the Pledgor proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge if and to the extent that:
  (a)   the Pledge secures the obligations of a Grantor which is (x) a shareholder of the Pledgor or (y) an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) of a shareholder of the Pledgor (other than the Pledgor and its subsidiaries); and
 
  (b)   the application of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards the Obligations would have the effect of (x) reducing the Pledgor’s net assets (Reinvermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount of less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets are already an amount of less than its stated share capital, of causing such amount to be further reduced and (y) would thereby affect the assets required for the obligatory preservation of the Pledgor’s stated share capital (Stammkapital) according to section 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) provided that the amount of the stated share capital to be taken into consideration shall be the amount registered in the commercial register at the date hereof, and any increase of the stated share capital registered after the date of this Agreement shall only be taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
8.3   The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of the Pledgor’s assets (consisting of all assets which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section(2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the aggregate amount of the Pledgor’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code), save that:
  (a)   any asset that is shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such asset and that is not necessary for the Pledgor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value;
 
  (b)   obligations under loans provided to the Pledgor by any member of the Group or any other affiliated company shall not be taken into account as liabilities as far as such loans are subordinated by law or by contract at least to the claims of the unsubordinated creditors of the Pledgor; and
 
  (c)   obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the Pledgor in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.

- 16 -


 

    The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and be based on the same principles that were applied by the Pledgor in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz).
 
    It being understood that the assets of the Pledgor will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of the Pledgor, at the time they prepare the Management Determination (as defined below) are, due to factual or legal circumstances at that time, in their opinion not able to make a positive prognosis as to whether the business of the Pledgor can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose), in particular when the Pledge is enforced.
 
8.4   The limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above shall only apply if and to the extent that:
  (a)   without undue delay, but not later than within 5 business days, after receipt of a notification by the Collateral Agent of its intention to enforce the Pledge (the “Notice”), the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such Pledge is up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 8.2 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge attributable to the enforcement of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the Obligations but would have to be returned to the Pledgor as it would otherwise cause the Net Assets of the Pledgor to fall below its stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 8.3 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain the Pledgor’s stated share capital; or
 
  (b)   within 20 business days from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent receives from the Pledgor an up to date balance sheet prepared by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Determining Auditors”) which shows the value of the Pledgor’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 8.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 8.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of the Pledgor should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to items to be adjusted pursuant to Clause 8.3 above. If the Pledgor fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Pledgee shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above.

- 17 -


 

8.5   If the Pledgee disagrees with the Balance Sheet it shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge in satisfaction of the Obligations up to an amount which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Obligations in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which the Pledgor is liable under this Agreement, the Pledgee shall be entitled to further pursue its claims (if any) and the Pledgor shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Pledgee has given notice that it intends to enforce the security created under this Agreement).
 
8.6   No reduction of the amount enforceable or applicable towards satisfaction of the Obligations under this Clause 8 will prejudice the right of the Pledgee to continue enforcing the Pledge (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured.
 
9.   APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION
 
    The Pledgor, as the sole shareholder of Company 1 and of Company 2, hereby approves the Pledge over the Shares and over any and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Shares (as more particularly specified in Clause 4) and pursuant to the articles of association of each Company the Pledge is not subject to any approval of any of the Companies.
 
10.   UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR

10.1   to promptly effect any contributions in cash (Bareinlage) or kind (Sacheinlage) to be made in respect of the Shares;
 
10.2   to inform the Pledgee promptly of any change made in the registered share capital of any of the Companies, or any changes made to the articles of association of any of the Companies which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee and in each such case to promptly deliver to the Pledgee a copy of the updated shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) and a copy of the amended articles of association (Satzung) both as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister);
 
10.3   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing of the registration of an objection (Widerspruch) in relation to the Shares of the Pledgor in the shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister).
 
10.4   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Shares or any ancillary rights set out in sub-Clause 4.1 such notice to be accompanied by any documents the Pledgee might need to defend itself against any claim of a third party. In particular, the Pledgor shall

- 18 -


 

    promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment;
 
10.5   in the event of any increase in the capital of any of the Companies, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder;
 
10.6   to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning of any of the Companies of which the Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor shall notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, forthwith of any shareholders’ meeting at which a shareholders’ resolution is intended to be adopted which would have a materially adverse effect upon the Pledge. The Pledgor shall allow, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the circumstances which permit the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge constituted hereunder in accordance with Clause 7, the Pledgee or, as the case may be, its proxy or any other person designated by the Pledgee, to participate in all such shareholders’ meetings of any of the Companies as attendants without power to vote. Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 14.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations;
 
10.7   to refrain from any acts or omissions, subject to the performance of its rights and duties under the Existing Share Pledge Agreement, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the dilution of the value of the Shares or the Shares ceasing to exist, unless permitted by the Pledgee (acting reasonably);
 
10.8   not to amend the articles of association of any of the Companies to the extent that such amendment would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee created hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
 
10.9   insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledge in favour of the Pledgee and at the Pledgee’s reasonable request (acting on the reasonable instructions of the Secured Parties), to make such declarations and undertake such actions at its own costs and expenses; and
 
10.10   for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 10.1 through 10.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge Agreement provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and the Existing Share Pledge Agreement.
 
11.   DELEGATION
 
    The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms

- 19 -


 

    and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.
 
12.   INDEMNITY
 
    The Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 12, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pledgee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Pledgee’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and under German law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgor may defend itself against such claim and the Pledgee shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate counsel and the Pledgor shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.
 
13.   NO LIABILITY
 
    Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder.

- 20 -


 

14.   DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
 
14.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the Obligations. The Pledge shall not cease to exist, if any Grantor under the Credit Documents has only temporarily discharged the Obligations.
 
14.2   This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.
 
14.3   This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.
 
14.4   Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party.
 
15.   RELEASE OF PLEDGE (PFANDFREIGABE)
 
15.1   Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties are aware that upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledge, due to its accessory nature (Akzessorietät) ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
 
15.2   At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
 
15.3   The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
 
16.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
 
16.1   If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall

- 21 -


 

    as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties,
 
16.2   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
 
16.3   In particular, the Pledge shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in each of the Companies even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of any of the Companies as stated in Clause 2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts.
 
17.   AMENDMENTS
 
    Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 17 shall be made in writing except where notarisation is required.

19.2   The Companies hereby acknowledge the notification pursuant to Clause 19.1 above.
 
20.   APPLICABLE LAW, JURISDICTION
 
20.1   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
 
20.2   The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the courts in Frankfurt am Main. The Pledgee however, shall also be entitled to take action against the Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Notary advised the persons appearing:
  that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
  that notwithstanding Section 16 Para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Genets betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
  that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.

    (in aggregate, the “Unlimited Enforcement Amount”).
 
8.2   Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount pursuant to Clause 8.1 above, the Pledgee shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations but shall return to the Pledgor proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge if and to the extent that:

  (b)   the application of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards the Obligations would have the effect of (x) reducing the Pledgor’s net assets

- 16 -


 

      (Reinvermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount of less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets are already an amount of less than its stated share capital, of causing such amount to be further reduced and (y) would thereby affect the assets required for the obligatory preservation of the Pledgor’s stated share capital (Stammkapital) according to section 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) provided that the amount of the stated share capital to be taken into consideration shall be the amount registered in the commercial register at the date hereof, and any increase of the stated share capital registered after the date of this Agreement shall only be taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
8.3   The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of the Pledgor’s assets (consisting of all assets which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section(2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the aggregate amount of the Pledgor’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code), save that:
  (a)   any asset that is shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such asset and that is not necessary for the Pledgor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value;
 
  (b)   obligations under loans provided to the Pledgor by any member of the Group or any other affiliated company shall not be taken into account as liabilities as far as such loans are subordinated by law or by contract at least to the claims of the unsubordinated creditors of the Pledgor; and
 
  (c)   obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the Pledgor in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.
    The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and be based on the same principles that were applied by the Pledgor in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz).
 
    It being understood that the assets of the Pledgor will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of the Pledgor, at the time they prepare the Management Determination (as defined below) are, due to factual or legal circumstances at that time, in their opinion not able to make a positive prognosis as to whether the business of the Pledgor can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose), in particular when the Pledge is enforced.

- 17 -


 

8.4   The limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above shall only apply if and to the extent that:
  (a)   without undue delay, but not later than within 5 business days, after receipt of a notification by the Collateral Agent of its intention to enforce the Pledge (the “Notice”), the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such Pledge is up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 8.2 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge attributable to the enforcement of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the Obligations but would have to be returned to the Pledgor as it would otherwise cause the Net Assets of the Pledgor to fall below its stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 8.3 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain the Pledgor’s stated share capital; or
 
  (b)   within 20 business days from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent receives from the Pledgor an up to date balance sheet prepared by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Determining Auditors”) which shows the value of the Pledgor’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 8.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 8.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of the Pledgor should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to items to be adjusted pursuant to Clause 8.3 above. If the Pledgor fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Pledgee shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above.
8.5   If the Pledgee disagrees with the Balance Sheet it shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge in satisfaction of the Obligations up to an amount which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Obligations in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which the Pledgor is liable under this Agreement, the Pledgee shall be entitled to further pursue its claims (if any) and the Pledgor shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Pledgee has given notice that it intends to enforce the security created under this Agreement).
 
8.6   No reduction of the amount enforceable or applicable towards satisfaction of the Obligations under this Clause 8 will prejudice the right of the Pledgee to continue

- 18 -


 

    enforcing the Pledge (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured.
9.   APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION
 
    The Pledgor as the sole shareholder of Company 1 and Company 2 hereby approves the Pledge over the Shares and over any and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Shares (as more particularly specified in Clause 44). Pursuant to the articles of association of each of the Companies the Pledge is not subject to any approval of the relevant Company.
 
10.   UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR
 
    Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, during the term of this Agreement, the Pledgor undertakes to the Pledgee:
 
10.1   to promptly effect any contributions in cash (Bareinlage) or kind (Sacheinlage) to be made in respect of the Shares;
 
10.2   to inform the Pledgee promptly of any change made in the registered share capital of any of the Companies, or any changes made to the articles of association of any of the Companies which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee and in each such case to promptly deliver to the Pledgee a copy of the updated shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) and a copy of the amended articles of association (Satzung) both as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister);
 
10.3   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing of the registration of an objection (Widerspruch) in relation to the Shares of the Pledgor in the shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister).
 
10.4   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Shares or any ancillary rights set out in sub-Clause 4.1 such notice to be accompanied by any documents the Pledgee might need to defend itself against any claim of a third party. In particular, the Pledgor shall promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisimgsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment;
 
10.5   in the event of any increase in the capital of any of the Companies, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder;
 
10.6   to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning of any of the Companies of which the Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor shall

- 19 -


 

    notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, forthwith of any shareholders’ meeting at which a shareholders’ resolution is intended to be adopted which would have a materially adverse effect upon the Pledge. The Pledgor shall allow, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the circumstances which permit the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge constituted hereunder in accordance with Clause 7, the Pledgee or, as the case may be, its proxy or any other person designated by the Pledgee, to participate in all such shareholders’ meetings of any of the Companies as attendants without power to vote. Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 14.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations;
10.7   to refrain from any acts or omissions, subject to the performance of its rights and duties under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the dilution of the value of the Shares or the Shares ceasing to exist, unless permitted by the Pledgee (acting reasonably);
 
10.8   not to amend the articles of association of any of the Companies to the extent that such amendment would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee created hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
 
10.9   insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledge in favour of the Pledgee and at the Pledgee’s reasonable request (acting on the reasonable instructions of the Secured Parties), to make such declarations and undertake such actions at its own costs and expenses; and
 
10.10   for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 10.1 through 10.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and each Existing Share Pledge Agreement.
 
11.   DELEGATION
 
    The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.
 
12.   INDEMNITY
 
    The Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 12, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pledgee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee against any and all loss, liability,

- 20 -


 

    claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Pledgee’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and under German law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgor may defend itself against such claim and the Pledgee shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate counsel and the Pledgor shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.
13.   NO LIABILITY
 
    Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder.
 
14.   DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
 
14.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the Obligations, The Pledge shall not cease to exist, if any Grantor under the Credit Documents has only temporarily discharged the Obligations.
 
14.2   This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.
 
14.3   This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.

- 21 -


 

14.4   Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party.
 
15.   RELEASE OF PLEDGE (PFANDFREIGABE)
 
15.1   Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties are aware that upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledge, due to its accessory nature (Akzessorietät) ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
 
15.2   At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
 
15.3   The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
 
16.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
 
16.1   If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.
 
16.2   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

- 22 -


 

16.3   In particular, the Pledge shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in each of the Companies even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of any of the Companies as stated in Clause 2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts.

20.   APPLICABLE LAW, JURISDICTION
 
20.1   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
20.2   The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the courts in Frankfurt am Main. The Pledgee however, shall also be entitled to take action against the Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Notary advised the persons appearing:
  that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
  that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
  that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.

  a)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”), the borrowers listed therein and Credit Suisse AG, as amended, amended or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”);
 
  b)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.75% senior secured notes due 2016 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in aggregate principal amounts of US$1,125,000,000 and €450,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 5, 2009 (the “2009 Notes”);
 
  c)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.125% senior secured notes due 2019 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Secured Notes”); and
 
  d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”);
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior

 


 

Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured indebtedness”),
  e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010 Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”); and
 
  f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”.
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and

2


 

transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
  a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
 
  b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”);
 
      The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
      It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
 
      The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into

3


 

      escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
 
      It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
 
  c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
 
  d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially certain members of the GPC Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
 
  e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
 
  f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by

4


 

      certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
 
      It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition,
 
      If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
 
  g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
 
  h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
  i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
  j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);

5


 

  k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
 
  l)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
 
  m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
     (collectively, the “Transactions”),
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”);
  a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
  b)   the documents relating to the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 1; and
 
  c)   the documents relating to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes, the New Unsecured Notes, the Existing Secured Notes and the Existing Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 2.

  (ii)   liquidation proceeds, redemption proceeds (Einziehungsentgelf), repaid capital in case of a capital decrease, any compensation in case of termination (Kündigung) and/or withdrawal {Austritt) of a shareholder of the Companies, the surplus in case of surrender (Preisgabe), any repayment claim for any additional capital contributions (Nachschüsse) and all other pecuniary claims associated with the Shares;
  (b)   the right to subscribe for newly issued shares; and
 
  (c)   all other rights and benefits attributable to the Shares capable of being pledged (verpfändbar) (including without limitation all present and future pecuniary claims of the Pledgor against any of the Companies arising under or in connection with any domination and/or profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) or partial profit transfer agreement (Teilgewinnabführungsvertrag) which may be entered into between the Pledgor and any of the Companies).
4.2   Notwithstanding that the items set out in Clause 4.1 above are pledged hereunder, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain the items set out in Clause 4.1 in respect of, and otherwise deal (in accordance with the agreements between the parties) with all items described in Clause 4.1 hereof in respect of the Shares at all times other than any time the Pledgee is entitled to enforce the Pledges constituted hereunder.

- 13 -


 

4.3   On the date and during the period in which the Pledgee is entitled, in accordance with Clause 7 (Enforcement of the Pledges) hereof, to enforce the Pledges (or any part thereof):
  (a)   all dividends paid or payable and any other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Shares;
 
  (b)   all dividends or other distributions or payments paid or payable in respect of the Shares in connection with the partial or total liquidation or dissolution of any of the Companies or in connection with the reduction of the amount of the registered share capital of any of the Companies; and
 
  (c)   all cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of the principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for the Shares,
    shall be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee and held as security for and on behalf of the Secured Parties. If such proceeds or property are received by the Pledgor, they shall be received as trustee for the benefit of the Pledgee and shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee as security in the form so received (with any necessary endorsement).
 
5.   PURPOSE OF THE PLEDGES
 
    The Pledges hereunder are constituted in order to secure the prompt and complete satisfaction of any and all Obligations. The Pledges shall also cover any future extension of the Obligations and the Pledgor herewith expressly agrees that the provisions of Section 1210 para 1 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) shall not apply to this Agreement.
 
6.   EXERCISE OF MEMBERSHIP RIGHTS
 
    The membership rights, including the voting rights, attached to the Shares remain with the Pledgor. The Pledgor may exercise its membership rights in any manner which does not adversely affect the validity and enforceability of the Pledges, the existence of all or part of the Shares or cause an Event of Default to occur. The Pledgor undertakes, unless otherwise agreed between the parties, that no resolutions will be passed which would, if passed, constitute a breach of its obligations under Clause 09 or any other obligation under this Agreement.
 
7.   ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLEDGES
 
7.1   If (i) an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the requirements set forth in Sections 1273 para 2, 1204 et seq. of the German Civil Code with regard to the enforcement of any of the Pledges are met (Pfandreife), in particular, if any of the Obligations have become due and payable, then in order to enforce the Pledges (or any of them), the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Secured Parties) may at

- 14 -


 

    any time thereafter avail itself of all rights and remedies that a pledgee has against a pledgor under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
7.2   Notwithstanding Section 1277 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgee is entitled to exercise its rights without obtaining enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titet). The Pledgee shall be entitled to have the Pledges enforced in any manner allowed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular have the Pledges sold (including at public auction).
 
7.3   The Pledgor hereby expressly agrees that 5 (five) business days’ prior written notice to the Pledgor of the place and time of any such sale shall be sufficient and the Pledgee shall not be obliged to deliver any further notices (including, but not limited to the notices set out under Section 1234 of the German Civil Code) to the Pledgor prior to such sale. The sale may take place at any place in the Federal Republic of Germany designated by the Pledgee.
 
7.4   If the Pledgee (acting on the instructions of the Secured Parties) should seek to enforce the Pledges under sub-Clause 7.1, the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all necessary assistance in order to facilitate the prompt sale of the Shares or any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Pledgee of any other right it may have as Pledgee.
 
7.5   Whilst the requirements for enforcement under sub-Clause 7.1 are continuing, all subsequent dividend payments attributable to the Shares and all payments based on similar ancillary rights attributed to the Shares may be applied by the Pledgee in satisfaction in whole or in part of the Obligations or treated as additional collateral.
 
7.6   Even if the requirements for enforcement referred to under sub-Clause 7.1 above are met, the Pledgee shall not, whether as proxy or otherwise, be entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the Shares. However, the Pledgor shall, during the continuation of an event which allows the Pledgee to enforce the Pledges, have the obligations and the Pledgee shall have the rights set forth in sub-Clause 9.6 below regardless of which resolutions are intended to be adopted.
 
7.7   The Pledgee may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests, if applicable, shall be used to satisfy the Obligations. The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its right pursuant to Section 1230 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code to limit the realisation of the Pledges and pledges over the shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies to such number of pledges as are necessary to satisfy the Obligations and agrees further that the Pledgee may decide to enforce the Pledge over the shares in the Companies individually in separate proceedings or together with pledges over shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies at one single proceeding (Gesamtverwertung).

- 15 -


 

7.8   The Pledgor hereby expressly waives all defences of revocation (Einrede der Anfechtbarkeit) and set-off (Einrede der Aufrechenbarkeit) pursuant to Sections 770, 1211 of the German Civil Code.
 
7.9   The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its defences based on defences any Grantor might have against any of the Obligations (Einreden des Hauptschuldners) pursuant to Section 1211 para 1 sentence 1 alternative 1 of the German Civil Code.
 
7.10   If the Pledges are enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Obligations (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of claims to a pledgor — Forderungsübergang auf den Verpfänder) shall not apply and no rights of the Pledgee shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise. Further, the Pledgor shall at no time before, on or after an enforcement of the Pledges and as a result of the Pledgor entering into this Agreement, be entitled to demand indemnification or compensation from any of the Companies or any of the Companies’ affiliates or to assign any of these claims.
 
8.   APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION
 
    The Pledgor as the sole shareholder of the Companies other than Company 4 and Company 5 hereby approves the Pledges over the Shares in Company 1, Company 2 and Company 3 and over any and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Shares (as more particularly specified in Clause 4). Pursuant to the articles of association of each of Companies the Pledges are not subject to any approval of the relevant Company.
 
9.   UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR
 
    Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, during the term of this Agreement, the Pledgor undertakes to the Pledgee:
 
9.1   to promptly effect any contributions in cash (Bareinlage) or kind (Sacheinlage) to be made in respect of the Shares;
 
9.2   to inform the Pledgee promptly of any change made in the registered share capital of any of the Companies, or any changes made to the articles of association of any of the Companies which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee and in each such case to promptly deliver to the Pledgee a copy of the updated shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) and a copy of the amended articles of association (Satzung) both as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister);
 
9.3   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing of the registration of an objection (Widerspruch) in relation to the Shares of the Pledgor in the shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister).

- 16 -


 

9.4   to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Shares or any ancillary rights set out in sub-Clause 4.1 such notice to be accompanied by any documents the Pledgee might need to defend itself against any claim of a third party. In particular, the Pledgor shall promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment;
 
9.5   in the event of any increase in the capital of any of the Companies, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder;
 
9.6   to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning of any of the Companies of which the Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor shall notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, forthwith of any shareholders’ meeting at which a shareholders’ resolution is intended to be adopted which would have a materially adverse effect upon any of the Pledges. The Pledgor shall allow, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the circumstances which permit the Pledgee to enforce the Pledges constituted hereunder in accordance with Clause 7, the Pledgee or, as the case may be, its proxy or any other person designated by the Pledgee, to participate in all such shareholders’ meetings of any of the Companies as attendants without power to vote. Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 13.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations;
 
9.7   to refrain from any acts or omissions, subject to the performance of its rights and duties under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the dilution of the value of the Shares or the Shares ceasing to exist, unless permitted by the Pledgee (acting reasonably);
 
9.8   not to amend the articles of association of any of the Companies to the extent that such amendment would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee created hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
 
9.9   insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledges (or any of them) in favour of the Pledgee and at the Pledgee’s reasonable request (acting on the reasonable instructions of the Secured Parties), to make such declarations and undertake such actions at its own costs and expenses; and
 
9.10   for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 9.1 through 9.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge

- 17 -


 

    Agreements provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and each Existing Share Pledge Agreement.
 
10.   DELEGATION
 
    The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.
 
11.   INDEMNITY
 
    The Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 11, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pledgee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Pledgee’s performance of its duties under this Agreement and under German law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgor may defend itself against such claim and the Pledgee shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate counsel and the Pledgor shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.
 
12.   NO LIABILITY
 
    Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in

- 18 -


 

    connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder.
 
13.   DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
 
13.1   This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the Obligations. The Pledges shall not cease to exist, if any Grantor under the Credit Documents has only temporarily discharged the Obligations.
 
13.2   This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement related to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.
 
13.3   This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.
 
13.4   Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party.
 
14.   RELEASE OF PLEDGE (PFANDFREIGABE)
 
14.1   Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledges (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties are aware that upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations the Pledges, due to their accessory nature (Akzessorietät) ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
 
14.2   At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.

- 19 -


 

14.3   The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledges (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
 
15.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
 
15.1   If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.
 
15.2   No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
 
15.3   In particular, the Pledges shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in each of the Companies even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of any of the Companies as stated in Clause 2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts.
 
16.   AMENDMENTS
 
    Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 16 shall be made in writing except where notarisation is required.
 
17.   NOTICES AND THEIR LANGUAGE

- 22 -


 

19.   APPLICABLE LAW, JURISDICTION
 
19.1   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
19.2   The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the courts in Frankfurt am Main. The Pledgee however, shall also be entitled to take action against the Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Notary advised the persons appearing:
  that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
  that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
  that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.

POWER OF ATTORNEY
SIG Combibloc Systems GmbH

As part of the Reynolds Group, the Company is a guarantor and security provider in respect of the Reynolds Group’s existing financing arrangements, including by:
(a)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”), the borrowers listed therein and Credit Suisse AG, as amended, amended or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”);
 
(b)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.75% senior secured notes due 2016 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in aggregate principal amounts of US$1,125,000,000 and €450,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 5, 2009 (the “2009 Notes”):
 
(c)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.125% senior secured notes due 2019 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Secured Notes”): and
 
(d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1,2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”):
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes.” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”).
(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29,2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010

 


 

    Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”): and
 
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”,
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”):
 
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”),

2


 

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group,
 
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes arc issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
 
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
 
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
 
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC

    Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
 
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
 
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing, The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
 
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition.
 
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”):
 
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured

    Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
 
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5,2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
 
(l)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
 
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(b)   the documents relating to the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 1; and
 
(c)   the documents relating to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes, the New Unsecured Notes, the Existing Secured Notes and the Existing Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 2.

POWER OF ATTORNEY
SIG Combibloc Zerspanungstcchnik GmbH
SIG Combibloc Zerspanungstechnik GmbH is a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschärnkter Haftung) incorporated under the laws of Germany, with its registered seat in Aachen, registered with the Commercial Register of the Local Court Aachen under HRB 3814 (the “Company”).
I.
PREAMBLE

As part of the Reynolds Group, the Company is a guarantor and security provider in respect of the Reynolds Group’s existing financing arrangements, including by:
(a)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”). the borrowers listed therein and Credit Suisse AG, as amended, amended or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”);
 
(b)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.75% senior secured notes due 2016 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in aggregate principal amounts of US$1,125,000,000 and E450,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 5, 2009 (the “2009 Notes”);
 
(c)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.125% senior seemed notes due 2019 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Secured Notes”); and
 
(d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”);
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”),
(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8,5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8,250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010

 


 

    Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”); and
 
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”,
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc, (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”):
 
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”),

2


 

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes,
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC

    Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
 
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantces provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition,
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured

4


 

    Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “PLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
(1)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
(b)   the documents relating to the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 1; and
(a)   the documents relating to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes, the New Unsecured Notes, the Existing Secured Notes and the Existing Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 2.

The Company is part of the Reynolds group of companies, which includes RGHL (as defined below) and each of its subsidiaries (the “Reynolds Group”).
As part of the Reynolds Group, the Company is a guarantor and security provider in respect of the Reynolds Group’s existing financing arrangements, including by:
(a)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”), the borrowers listed therein and Credit Suisse AG, as amended, amended or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”);

(c)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.125% senior secured notes due 2019 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Secured Notes”); and
(d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”);
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”),
(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010

 


 

    Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”); and
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”.
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related

2


 

       guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
       The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
       It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
       The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
       It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC

    Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
       It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition.
       If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured

4


 

       Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
(l)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
(b)   the documents relating to the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 1; and
(c)   the documents relating to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes, the New Unsecured Notes, the Existing Secured Notes and the Existing Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 2.

It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition,
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with Issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”).

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”),
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (1) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group,
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
    It is currently Intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;

POWER OF ATTORNEY
SIG Combibloc Holding GmbH
SIG Combibloc Holding GmbH is a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit bescbränkter Haftung) incorporated under the laws of Germany, with its registered seat in Linnich, registered with the Commercial Register of the Local Court Düren under HR B 5751 (the “Company”).
I.
PREAMBLE
The Company is part of the Reynolds group of companies, which includes RGHL (as defined below) and each of its subsidiaries (the “Reynolds Group”).
As part of the Reynolds Group, the Company is a guarantor and security provider in respect of the Reynolds Group’s existing financing arrangements, including by:
(a)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”), the borrowers listed therein and Credit Suisse AG, as amended, amended or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”);
 
(b)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.75% senior secured notes due 2016 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in aggregate principal amounts of US$1,125,000,000 and €450,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 5, 2009 (the “2009 Notes”);
 
(c)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.125% senior secured notes due 2019 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Secured Notes”): and
 
(d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount Of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”);
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”),
(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010

 


 

    Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”): and
 
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”.
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”):
 
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”),

2


 

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”)
 
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
 
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
 
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
 
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
 
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC

    Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
 
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
 
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition,
 
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
 
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured

    Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
 
(l)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
 
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.

POWER OF ATTORNEY
SIG Euro Holding AG & Co. KGaA
SIG Euro Holding AG & Co. KGaA is a company limited by shares (Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien) incorporated under the laws of Germany, with its registered seat in Linnich, registered with the Commercial Register of the Local Court Düren under HR B 5754 (the Company).
I.
PREAMBLE
The Company is part of the Reynolds group of companies, which includes RGHL (as defined below) and each of its subsidiaries (the “Reynolds Group”).
As part of the Reynolds Group, the Company is a guarantor and security provider in respect of the Reynolds Group’s existing financing arrangements, including by:
(a)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”), the borrowers listed therein and Credit Suisse AG, as amended, amended or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”);
(b)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.75% senior secured notes due 2016 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in aggregate principal amounts of US$1,125,000,000 and €450,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 5, 2009 (the “2009 Notes”);
(c)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.125% senior secured notes due 2019 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Secured Notes”); and
(d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”);
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”),
[Signature Page to SIG Euro Holding AG & Co. KgaA Power of Attorney]

 


 

(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010 Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”); and
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”.
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”),
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition,
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional Indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of Indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:

2


 

(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
 
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
 
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released, It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
 
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
 
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which

3


 

    such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain member of the GPC Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured. Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition,
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities Into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank

4


 

    Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or giant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Sank Debt and any secured Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
(l)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):

5


 

(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;

(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”),
(c)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010

 


 

     Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing. Notes”); and
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”.
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related

2


 

    guarantees in respect of the “New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);

3


 

(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and ft is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities,
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition.
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”):
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in

4


 

    respect of the Existing Secured indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
(l)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”);
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
(b)   the documents relating to the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 1; and
(c)   the documents relating to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes, the New Unsecured Notes, the Existing Secured Notes and the Existing Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 2.

POWER OF ATTORNEY
SIG Information Technology GmbH

I.
PREAMBLE
The Company is part of the Reynolds group of companies, which includes RGHL (as defined below) and each of its subsidiaries (the “Reynolds Group”).
As part of the Reynolds Group, the Company is a guarantor and security provider in respect of the Reynolds Group’s existing financing arrangements, including by:
(a)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”), the borrowers listed therein and Credit Suisse AG, as amended, amended or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”);

(d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”).
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes.” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”).
(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”) (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010

    Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”); and
 
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
 
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”.
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit I. (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition,
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its director indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
 
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”),

2


 

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
 
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
 
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Meger Arrangements”).
 
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
 
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
 
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially certain members of the GPC

    Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
 
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
 
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
 
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition.
 
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
 
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured

    Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
 
(1)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5,2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
 
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described In the Commitment Letter;

POWER OF ATTORNEY
SIG Combibloc GmbH
SIG Combibloc GmbH is a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschrtinkter Haftung) incorporated under the laws of Germany, with its registered seat in Linnich, registered with the Commercial Register of the Local Court Diiren under HR B 5182 (the Company).
I.
PREAMBLE

(a)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”). the borrowers listed therein and Credit Suisse AG, as amended, amended or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”);

(d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”);
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes.” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”)
(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9,5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010

 


 

    Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”): and
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”.
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group” through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
 
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”),

2


 

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group,
 
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released, It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S. A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”),
 
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
 
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
 
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC

    Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
 
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing, The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities,
 
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition.
 
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
 
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured

    Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
 
(1)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”): and
 
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers,
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”);
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;

(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”),

  (f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”).
    the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”,
 
    It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”),
 
    The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
 
    RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
 
    RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
 
    RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
 
    In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
  (a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
 
  (b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related

 


 

      guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
 
      The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
      It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
 
      The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
 
      It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;

 


 

(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the Issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
 
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
 
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
 
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
 
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition.
 
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
 
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined

 


 

    below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
 
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
 
(l)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (I) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”): and
 
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):

 


 

(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(b)   the documents relating to the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 1; and

(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”),
(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated

(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”).
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”.
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group") through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition").
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(g)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”):
 
(h)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”).

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
 
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
 
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a soeiété anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
 
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
 
(i)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);

(o)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(p)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing

(s)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;

Certified Copy
POWER OF ATTORNEY
Omni-Fac Ekco GmbH Verpackungsmittel
Omni-Pac Ekco GmbH Verpackungsmittel is a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) incorporated under the laws of Germany, with its registered seat in Hamburg, registered with the Commercial Register of the Local Court Hamburg under HR B 102663 (the Company).
I.
PREAMBLE
The Company is part of the Reynolds group of companies, which includes RGHL (as defined below) and each of its subsidiaries (the “Reynolds Group”).
As part of the Reynolds Group, the Company is a guarantor and security provider in respect of the Reynolds Group’s existing financing arrangements, including by:
(a)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited (“RGHL”). the borrowers listed therein and Credit Suisse AG, as amended, amended or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”);
 
(b)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.75% senior secured notes due 2016 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in aggregate principal amounts of US$1,125,000,000 and €450,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 5, 2009 (the “2009 Notes”);
 
(c)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 7.125% senior secured notes due 2019 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Secured Notes”); and
 
(d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”);
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”),
(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US $1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated


 

    February 1, 2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010 Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”); and
 
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, Indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”.
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”).
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
 
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”),

2


 

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
 
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
 
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
 
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
 
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
 
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC

3


 

    Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
 
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
 
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
 
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition.
 
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
 
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing

4


 

    Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
 
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time parry thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
 
(l)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”): and
 
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities’ Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;

POWER OF ATTORNEY
Omni-Pac GmbH Verpackungsmittel
Omni-Pac GmbH Verpackungsmittel is a limited liability company (Gesetlschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) incorporated under the laws of Germany, with its registered seat in Elsfleth, registered with the Commercial Register of the Local Court Oldenburg under HR B 201738 (the “Company”)

(d)   providing a guarantee and security with respect to the 6.875% senior secured notes due 2021 issued by members of the Reynolds Group in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 1,2011 (the “February 2011 Secured Notes”);
(the 2009 Notes, the October 2010 Secured Notes and the February 2011 Secured Notes being together, the “Existing Secured Notes,” and together with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Existing Secured Indebtedness”),
(e)   incurring and providing a guarantee of certain notes issued by members of the Reynolds Group, including (i) 8% senior notes due 2016 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €480,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007, (ii) 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 issued in an aggregate principal amount of €420,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated June 29, 2007 (together with (i), the “2007 Notes”), (iii) 8.5% senior notes due 2018 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated May 4, 2010 (the “May 2010 Notes”), (iv) 9.0% senior notes due 2019 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,500,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated October 15, 2010 (the “October 2010 Senior Notes”) and (v) 8.250% senior notes due 2021 issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 pursuant to an indenture dated

 


 

    February 1,2011 (the “February 2011 Senior Notes”) (the 2007 Notes, the May 2010 Notes, the October 2010 Senior Notes and the February 2011 Senior Notes being together, the “Existing Notes”); and
 
(f)   being party to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of the guarantees, indebtedness and security described above (the “Intercreditor Arrangements”),
the Existing Secured Indebtedness, the Existing Notes and the Intercreditor Arrangements being, together, the “Existing Financing Arrangements”,
It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire the GPC group of companies (the “GPC Group”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into Graham Packaging Company Inc. (“GPC”), with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the “Acquisition”),
The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit .1, (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of; a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below, In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially, by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
 
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”),

2


 

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
 
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
 
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
 
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a société anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
 
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
 
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
 
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC

    Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
 
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
 
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
 
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition.
 
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
 
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing

4


 

    Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
 
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
 
(l)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
 
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(b)   the documents relating to the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 1; and
 
(c)   the documents relating to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes, the New Unsecured Notes, the Existing Secured Notes and the Existing Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 2.

The Company has previously considered and approved the entry by the Company into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time;
RGHL has determined it may be necessary or advisable to incur additional indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to partially fund the Acquisition, the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes, and the Company is now considering entering into amendments to, and/or an amendment and restatement of, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, pursuant to which additional indebtedness would be incurred and the proceeds made available under certain incremental facilities and subject to certain conditions (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).
RGHL has entered into a commitment letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (together with the term sheets attached thereto, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which certain lenders have provided commitments for three bridge financing facilities comprised of: a senior secured bank bridge facility, a senior secured notes bridge facility and a senior unsecured notes bridge facility, each as more particularly described in the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Bridge Financing Facilities”), which may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to effect the Acquisition.
RGHL may determine, in lieu of or in combination with issuing the New Secured Notes (as defined below), New Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and/or incurring the Additional Bank Debt (as defined below), that it is necessary or advisable to draw on one or more of the Bridge Financing Facilities in order to fund all or part of the Acquisition.
In addition, RGHL and/or certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of RGHL intend to incur additional indebtedness as set forth below. In connection with such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended, by, among other things, RGHL and/or certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries doing one or more of the following:
(a)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Unsecured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new unsecured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Unsecured Notes”), including the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Unsecured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Unsecured Notes Guarantees”);
 
(b)   the entry into of a new indenture (the “New Secured Notes Indenture”), or accession thereto, by certain members of the Reynolds Group in respect of the issue of new senior secured notes by indirect subsidiaries of RGHL (the “New Secured Notes”),

2


 

    including the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the provision of related guarantees in respect of the New Secured Notes by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company, as applicable) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group (the “New Secured Notes Guarantees”).
    The proceeds from the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes may be used to partially fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required (including, without limitation, the repayment of existing indebtedness of GPC Group and contractual payments to existing shareholders of GPC Group) to effect the Acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
    It is expected that the Existing Secured Indebtedness and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, confirmed, affirmed, re-affirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to ensure that following the entry into the New Secured Notes Indenture, the New Secured Notes will have the benefit of (i) guarantees from substantially the same guarantors (including the Company) that guarantee the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially from certain members of the GPC Group and (ii) substantially the same collateral provided in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and, following the Acquisition, potentially security provided by certain members of the GPC Group.
    The New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition. If the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow, the Company will not be required to provide its guarantees and security with respect to the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes (as relevant) until such time as the escrow is released. It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are issued into escrow the relevant escrow issuers, which shall be affiliates of RGHL (the “Escrow Issuers”), will merge or otherwise be consolidated with Reynolds Group Issuer Inc., a Delaware corporation, Reynolds Group Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Reynolds Group Issuer (Luxembourg) S.A., a societe” anonyme (a public limited liability company) under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Existing Issuers”) or any other affiliates of RGHL which may issue the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes (together with the Existing Issuers, the “Issuers”) on the release of the escrow, with the Issuers being the surviving entities (the “Escrow and Merger Arrangements”).
    It is currently intended that if the New Secured Notes or the New Unsecured Notes are not issued into escrow, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes may be issued by the Issuers;
(c)   the entry into of one or more registration rights agreements or joinders thereto by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group pursuant to which such entities agree to register the re-sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and/or register the issuance of the Unsecured Exchange Securities and the Secured Exchange Securities (each as defined below) (the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively);
(d)   the entry into of one or more purchase agreements or joinders thereto providing for the issuance and sale of the New Unsecured Notes and the New Secured Notes and related guarantees by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company) and, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC

3


 

    Group (the “Unsecured Notes Purchase Agreement” and the “Secured Notes Purchase Agreement”, respectively);
(e)   the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment and/or joinders thereto;
(f)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness (the “Additional Bank Debt”) under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) which will have the benefit of substantially the same guarantees and security as already provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and it is expected that the security and guarantees provided in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Intercreditor Arrangements will be amended, restated, extended, affirmed, re-affirmed, confirmed, released and/or retaken, as necessary, in order to effectuate the foregoing. The Additional Bank Debt may also have the benefit of guarantees and security provided, following the Acquisition, potentially by certain members of the GPC Group, as a result of such GPC Group entities granting guarantees and security in respect of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
    It is intended that the Additional Bank Debt will not be drawn down until the date of the Acquisition, however the Credit Agreement Amendment will allow for such funds either (i) to be made available as delayed draw term loans that would be funded on the date of the Acquisition or (ii) to be drawn down into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition.
    If the Additional Bank Debt is either made available as delayed draw term loans or is drawn into escrow prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Company will not be required to confirm its guarantees and security with respect to the Additional Bank Debt until such time as either the delayed draw term loans are funded or the escrow is released or otherwise terminated (the “Bank Escrow Arrangements”);
(g)   the incurrence of additional indebtedness pursuant to the terms described in the Commitment Letter;
(h)   the entry into the Facilities Documents (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter), including, without limitation, any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
 
(i)   the provision by certain members of the Reynolds Group (including the Company as an existing guarantor) of certain affirmations, reaffirmations and/or confirmations that the guarantees in place in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness and Existing Notes continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the Transactions (as defined below), the Escrow and Merger Arrangements, the Bank Escrow Arrangements and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Financing Facilities, if any, as applicable;
 
(j)   the amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second, third or junior ranking) or other action in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (collectively, the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes, the Additional Bank Debt and any secured Bridge Financing Facilities, as applicable, on a pari passu basis with the Existing

4


 

    Secured Indebtedness to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the Existing Secured Indebtedness (including after the consummation of the Escrow and Merger Arrangements and the Bank Escrow Arrangements);
(k)   the entry into any amendments, supplements, joinders, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the first lien intercreditor agreement dated as of November 5, 2009, between, among others, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the collateral agent, Credit Suisse AG, and the grantors from time to time party thereto and the representatives from time to time party thereto as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2010 (as further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified the “FLICA”) to the extent required in order to permit the New Secured Notes and/or the Additional Bank Debt to be included as “Obligations” thereunder;
(1)   the entry into of any amendments, supplements, accessions, designations, confirmations or other documents in connection with the intercreditor agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended and/or restated, including, without limitation, as of (i) November 5, 2009 by an amendment and restatement agreement and (ii) November 5, 2010 by an amendment agreement, both between, among others, RGHL as parent, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent, senior secured notes trustee and high yield noteholders trustee (as such intercreditor agreement may be further amended, extended, restated or otherwise modified, the “2007 ICA”); and
(m)   following the Acquisition, the possible accession by certain members of the GPC Group to the Existing Financing Arrangements and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) as guarantors and/or security providers.
(collectively, the “Transactions”).
In order to effect the Transactions, it is intended that the Company enter into and/or approve, as relevant, the following documents, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):
(a)   the documents relating to the Bridge Financing Facilities, including, without limitation, the Facilities Documents, and any credit agreements, intercreditor agreements, security documents, indentures, registration rights agreements, purchase agreements, notes, joinders, offering material or any other documents in connection with the Bridge Financing Facilities or the conversion of any such Bridge Financing Facilities into term loans and/or exchange notes as described in the Commitment Letter;
(b)   the documents relating to the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes and the New Unsecured Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 1; and
(c)   the documents relating to the intercreditor arrangements in respect of Amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Secured Notes, the New Unsecured Notes, the Existing Secured Notes and the Existing Notes, as more particularly described in Schedule 2.
