[Series A CPECs] in the Company owned from time to time by Beverage Packaging Holdings (Luxembourg) III S.à r.l., and, in particular, the             [Series A CPECs] owned on the

 - 6 -










	3.2	Following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Collateral Agent may, by giving a written notice to this effect to the Pledgor and the Company,
elect to exercise the voting rights attaching to the PECs in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of the Financial Collateral Law in any manner the Collateral Agent deems fit (including for the avoidance of doubt, in relation to the removal
and appointment of managers). Immediately upon such election being made, the Pledgor shall no longer be entitled to exercise any voting rights, and, without prejudice to the Pledgor’s ownership of the pledged PECs, the Collateral Agent may
exercise any voting rights attaching to the PECs as well as the rights of the Pledgor as PECs-holder in relation to the convening of PECs-holder meetings or the adoption of written PECs-holder resolutions, including, for the avoidance of doubt (each
time within the limits of the rights which the Pledgor has under applicable laws or the articles of association of the Company), the right to request the board of managers to convene PECs-holder meetings and to request items to be added to the
agenda, to convene such meeting itself and to propose and adopt resolutions in written form. The Pledgor and the Company expressly acknowledge and accept that the Collateral Agent may exercise such rights and use, where required, the PECs for this
purpose. The Pledgor shall do whatever is necessary in order to ensure that the exercise of the voting rights in these circumstances is facilitated and becomes possible for the Collateral Agent, including the issuing of a written proxy in any form
or any other document that the Collateral Agent may require for the purpose of exercising the voting rights. 

  

	3.3	As long as this Pledge Agreement remains in force and unless an Event of Default which is continuing has occurred, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive all interest
and yield paid in cash or other interests, redemption amounts, distributions or rights to distributions derived from such PECs if and to the extent such payments and distributions are permitted by the Principal Finance Documents.


  

	3.4	Following the occurrence of an Enforcement Event which is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive all interest and yield paid in cash or other
interests, redemption amounts, distributions or rights to distributions derived from such PECs and to apply them in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

the Pledged Portfolio (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Pledge and liens and privileges arising mandatorily by law). 

  

	4.3	The Pledgor hereby undertakes that, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, during the subsistence of this Pledge Agreement: 


 

	 	4.3.1	it shall cooperate with the Collateral Agent and sign or cause to be signed all such further documents and take all such further action as the Collateral Agent may from
time to time reasonably request to perfect and protect this Pledge or to exercise its rights under this Pledge Agreement; and 

  

	 	4.3.2	as PECs-holder of the Company, it shall act in good faith, unless otherwise permitted under the Principal Finance Documents, to maintain and exercise its rights in the
Company, and in particular shall not knowingly take any steps nor do anything which would adversely affect the existence of the security interest created hereunder; and 


 

	 	4.3.3	without prejudice to Clause 3 (Voting Rights and Interests), to inform the Collateral Agent of any meeting of the PECs-holder, as well as of the agenda thereof
if, in each case, such agenda or meeting would materially and adversely affect the security interest created under this Pledge Agreement and, in particular, of any intention to issue new PECs. 


 

	5.	POWER OF ATTORNEY 

  

	5.1	The Pledgor irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent to be its attorney and in its name and on its behalf to execute, deliver and perfect all documents and do all
things that the Collateral Agent may consider to be requisite for (a) carrying out any obligation imposed on the Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement or (b) exercising any of the rights conferred on the Collateral Agent or the Secured
Parties by this Pledge Agreement or by law, it being understood that the enforcement of the Pledge over the Pledged Portfolio must be carried out as described in Clause 6 (Remedies upon Default) hereunder. The powers under this Clause 5.1
shall only be exercised upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and provided that such Event of Default is continuing, or if the Pledgor has failed to comply with a further assurance or any perfection obligations hereunder within 10 Business Days
of being notified of that failure. 

  

	5.2	The Pledgor shall ratify and confirm all things done and all documents executed by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of that power of attorney.


  

	5.3	The Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to exercise the powers conferred upon it by the Pledgor under this Clause 5.1 unless and until it shall have been
(a) instructed to do so by the Applicable Representative and (b) indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction.

	6.	REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT 

  

	6.1	Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and provided that such Event of Default is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to realise the Pledged
Portfolio in the most favourable manner provided for by Luxembourg law and in particular the Financial Collateral Law and may, in particular, but without limitation, 


 

	 	6.1.1	appropriate the Pledged Portfolio in which case the Pledged Portfolio will be valued at its fair value, as determined by an independent expert appointed by the
Collateral Agent, to the extent possible among the members of the Institut Luxembourgeois des réviseurs d’entreprises or, if no such appointment can be made or no valuation can be obtained within a reasonable time, by the
Collateral Agent in its commercially reasonable discretion. The Collateral Agent may appoint a qualified third party to make (or to assist the Collateral Agent in making) such valuation; 


 

	 	6.1.2	sell the Pledged Portfolio in a private sale at normal commercial terms (conditions commerciales normales), or in a sale organised by a stock exchange (to be
chosen by the Collateral Agent), or in a public sale (organised at the discretion of the Collateral Agent and which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not need to be made by or within a stock exchange); 


 

	 	6.1.3	request a judicial decision that the Pledged Portfolio shall be attributed to the Collateral Agent in discharge of the Secured Obligations following a valuation of the
Pledged Portfolio made by a court appointed expert; or

	6.2	The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of the sale in paying the costs of that sale or disposal and in or towards the discharge of the Secured Obligations, in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. 

  

	7.	EFFECTIVENESS OF COLLATERAL 

  

	7.1	The Pledge shall be a continuing security and shall not be considered as satisfied or discharged or prejudiced by any intermediate payment, satisfaction or settlement
of any part of the Secured Obligations and shall remain in full force and effect until it has been discharged in accordance with Clause 7.2 of this Pledge Agreement. 


 

	7.2	The Pledge shall be released and cancelled (a) by the Collateral Agent at the request and cost of the Pledgor, upon the Secured Obligations being irrevocably paid
or discharged in full and none of the Secured Parties being under any further actual or contingent obligation to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to the Pledgor or any other person under any of the Loan Documents; or
(b) in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

  

	7.3	The Pledge shall be cumulative, in addition to, and independent of every other security which the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may at any time hold as
security for the Secured Obligations or any rights, powers and remedies provided by law and shall not operate so as in any way to prejudice or affect or be prejudiced or affected by any security interest or other right or remedy which the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties may now or at any time in the future have in respect of the Secured Obligations. 


  
 - 9 -










	7.4	This Pledge shall not be prejudiced by any time or indulgence granted to any person, or any abstention or delay by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties in
perfecting or enforcing any security interest or rights or remedies that the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties may now or at any time in the future have from or against the Pledgor or any other person. 


 

	7.5	No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise, or delay on its part in exercising, any of its rights under this Pledge Agreement
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any further or other exercise of that or any other rights. 


 

	7.6	Neither the obligations of the Pledgor contained in this Pledge Agreement nor the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties
by this Pledge Agreement or by law, nor the Pledge created hereby shall be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by: 

  

	 	7.6.1	any amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, any Secured Obligation or of the obligations of any Loan Parties under any other Loan Documents;



	 	


	 	7.6.2	any failure to take, or fully to take, any security contemplated by the Loan Documents or otherwise agreed to be taken in respect of the Secured Obligations;



	 	


	 	7.6.3	any failure to realise or fully to realise the value of, or any release, discharge, exchange or substitution of, any security taken in respect of the Secured
Obligations; or 


	 	


	 	7.6.4	any other act, event or omission which, but for this Clause 7.6, might operate to discharge, impair or otherwise affect any of the obligations of the Pledgor contained
in this Pledge Agreement, the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties by this Pledge Agreement, the Pledge or by law. 


 

	7.7	For the avoidance of doubt, the Pledgor hereby waives any rights arising for it now or in the future (if any) under Article 2037 of the Luxembourg Civil Code.


  

	7.8	Subject to the terms of the Principal Finance Documents, neither the Collateral Agent, nor the Secured Parties or any of their agents shall be liable by reason of
(a) taking any action permitted by this Pledge Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the Pledged Portfolio or (c) the realisation of all or any part of the Pledged Portfolio, except in the case of bad faith, gross
negligence or wilful misconduct upon their part. 

  

	8.	INDEMNITY 

 To the extent
set out in Section 4.11 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Pledgor shall, notwithstanding any release or discharge of all or any part of the security, indemnify the Collateral Agent, its agents, its attorneys and any delegate
against any action, proceeding, claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, demands, taxes, and costs which it may sustain as a consequence of any breach by the Pledgor of the provisions of this Pledge Agreement, the exercise or purported exercise of any
of the rights and powers conferred on them by this Pledge Agreement or otherwise relating to the Pledged Portfolio.

	9.	DELEGATION 

 Subject to
Section 4.05 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent permitted by Luxembourg law), the Collateral Agent shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on
it by this Pledge Agreement (including the power of attorney) on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit, which delegation shall not preclude either the subsequent exercise, any subsequent delegation or any revocation of such power, authority
or discretion by the Collateral Agent itself. 
  

	10.	RIGHTS OF RECOURSE 

  

	10.1	For as long as the Secured Obligations are outstanding and have not been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full or the Collateral Agent or the
Secured Parties have any obligations under the Loan Documents, the Pledgor shall not exercise any Rights of Recourse, arising for any reason whatsoever, by any means whatsoever (including for the avoidance of doubt, by way of provisional measures
such as provisional attachment (“saisie-arrêt conservatoire”) or by way of set-off). 

  

	10.2	The Pledgor irrevocably agrees to waive its Rights of Recourse if the relevant person against whom the Rights of Recourse are to be exercised has come under the direct
or indirect control of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties or any third party following or in connection with, the enforcement of any security granted in connection with the Secured Obligations. 


 

	10.3	Without prejudice to Clause 10.1 above, this Clause shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any discharge, release or termination of this Pledge (whether
or not in accordance with Clause 7.2 of this Pledge Agreement). 

  

	11.	PARTIAL ENFORCEMENT 


Subject to Clause 6 (Remedies upon Default), the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request enforcement of all or part of the
Pledged Portfolio in its most absolute discretion. No action, choice or absence of action in this respect, or partial enforcement, shall in any manner affect the Pledge created hereunder over the Pledged Portfolio, as it then shall be (and in
particular those PECs which have not been subject to enforcement). The Pledge shall continue to remain in full and valid existence until enforcement, discharge or termination hereof, as the case may be. 

 

	12.	COSTS AND EXPENSES 


Section 9.05 (Expenses; Indemnity) of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement applies to this Pledge Agreement.

	13.	CURRENCY CONVERSION 


Without prejudice to the terms of the Loan Documents, for the purpose of, or pending the discharge of, any of the Secured Obligations the
Collateral Agent may convert any money received, recovered or realised or subject to application by it under this Pledge Agreement from one currency to another, as the Collateral Agent (acting reasonably) may think fit and any such conversion shall
be effected at the Collateral Agent’s spot rate of exchange for the time being for obtaining such other currency with the first currency. 
  

	14.	NOTICES 

 Any notice or
demand to be served by one person on another pursuant to this Pledge Agreement shall be served in accordance with the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

 

	15.	SUCCESSORS 

  

	15.1	This Pledge Agreement shall remain in effect despite any amalgamation or merger (however effected) relating to the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent, and
references to the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to include any assignee or successor in title of the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent and any person who, under any applicable law, has assumed the rights and
obligations of the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent hereunder or to which under such laws the same have been transferred or novated or assigned in any manner. 


 

	15.2	For the purpose of Articles 1278 et seq. of the Luxembourg Civil Code and any other relevant legal provisions, to the extent required under applicable law and
without prejudice to any other terms hereof or of any other Loan Documents and in particular Clause 15.1 hereof, the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent hereby expressly reserve and the Pledgor agrees to the preservation of this Pledge
Agreement and the Pledge in case of assignment, novation, amendment or any other transfer of the Secured Obligations or any other rights arising under the Loan Documents. 


 

	15.3	To the extent a further notification or registration or any other step is required by law to give effect to the above, such further registration shall be made and the
Pledgor hereby gives power of attorney to the Collateral Agent to make any notifications and/or to require any required registrations to be made in the PECs Register, or to take any other steps, and undertakes to do so itself if so requested by the
Collateral Agent. 

  

	15.4	The Pledgor, Collateral Agent and the Company expressly confirm and agree that Clause 8.2 (Registration and Transfer) of the terms and conditions of the Series A
CPECs and any similar provisions in the terms and conditions of Future PECs is not applicable for the creation or the enforcement of this Pledge either by the Collateral Agent itself or any of its successors, assignees or transferees.


  

	16.	AMENDMENTS AND PARTIAL INVALIDITY 

  

	16.1	Changes to this Pledge Agreement and any waiver of rights under this Pledge Agreement shall require written form. 


 

	16.2	 If any provision of this Pledge Agreement is declared by any judicial or other competent authority to be void or otherwise unenforceable, that
provision shall be severed from this 



  
 - 12 -









 
Pledge Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Pledge Agreement shall, however, thereafter be amended by the parties in such
reasonable manner so as to achieve, without illegality, the intention of the parties with respect to that severed provision. 
  

	17.	LAW AND JURISDICTION 


This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by Luxembourg law and the courts of Luxembourg-City shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle
any dispute which may arise from or in connection with it. 
 This Pledge Agreement has been duly executed by the parties in
three originals.
