execution of this Pledge Agreement, and, as the case may be, (2) upon opening of any Future

such actions. The Pledgor shall further be obliged to inform as soon as possible the
attaching creditors or other third parties asserting rights with respect to the
Accounts in writing of the existence of the Pledge. Subject to Clause 11 (Costs and
Expenses) hereof, all reasonable and adequately documented costs and expenses for any
actions of intervention and measures of the Collateral Agent shall be borne by the
Pledgor. This shall also apply to the institution of legal action, which the Collateral
Agent may consider necessary; and

circumstance which would have a material adverse effect on the validity or

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 Account Claims 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

assurance or any perfection obligation hereunder within 10 Business Days of being notified of

the Collateral Agent in the exercise of that power of attorney.

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 Account Claims in
the most favourable manner provided for by Luxembourg law and in particular the Financial
Collateral Law. In particular, but without limitation, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled
to request direct payment of the Pledged Account Claims from the Account Bank and the
Collateral Agent may proceed to a set-off between the Pledged Account Claims and the Secured
Obligations in accordance with the terms of Article 11(3) and 11(1) (d) of the Financial
Collateral Law.
	 
	6.2	 	The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of the enforcement in or towards the

	 	 	part of the Secured Obligations and shall remain in full force and effect until it has been
discharged in accordance with the terms of Clause 7.2 of this Pledge Agreement.






	7.2	 	The security constituted by this Pledge Agreement 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 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.
	 
	7.4	 	This Pledge shall not be prejudiced by any time or indulgence granted to any person,
or any abstention or delay by the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent or the Secured
Parties in perfecting or enforcing any security interest or rights or remedies that the
Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent 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 Obligor 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 7.5, 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




- 7 -









 






	 	 	 	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 Secured Parties
nor Collateral Agent 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 Account Claims or the Accounts or (c) the realisation of all or any part of the
Pledged Account Claims or the Accounts, 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

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

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

for the avoidance of doubt, by way of provisional measures such as provisional attachment
(“saisie-arrêt conservatoire”) or by way of set-off.

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

Obligations.

absolute discretion. No action, choice or absence of action in this respect, or partial

Dear Sirs,




Notice of Pledge over Bank Accounts



We refer to the notice of pledge dated ___________ and regarding a pledge over bank accounts
entered into between THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON as Collateral Agent and BEVERAGE PACKAGING
HOLDINGS (LUXEMBOURG) III S.À.R.L. as Pledgor on ________________ (the “Pledge Agreement”) for the
purpose of creating a pledge over any claim the Pledgor may have to the credit balance in the
accounts as listed hereunder (the “Accounts”) opened in the name of the Pledgor with us as Account
Bank:




     Account: Root number [___________], and any associated sub-account, in particular IBAN
LU[_____________] EUR, IBAN LU[_______________] EUR and IBAN LU[_________________] CHF.


Defined terms in this acknowledgement (the “Acknowledgement”) have the same meaning as in the
Pledge Agreement.



The Account Bank by signing hereunder for acceptance acknowledges and accepts the existence of the
Pledge and takes notice of the terms of the Pledge Agreement and, in particular, of clause 3
(Operating of Account) thereof.



According to this clause 3, the Account Bank has taken notice that Unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Account shall not be blocked and, without prejudice to the security
interest created pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, the Pledgor shall be allowed to

continue to operate the Account and exercise all rights and powers in respect of the Accounts.
Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and provided that such Event of Default is
continuing, this authorisation may at any moment be revoked by the Collateral Agent by giving
written notice to the Account Bank (the “Blocking Notice”), with a copy to the Pledgor. The
Accounts shall be blocked and the Pledgor shall not be allowed to dispose of any Pledged Account
Claims or otherwise make any operations in respect of the Accounts, except with the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent.



If at any time the Collateral Agent delivers to the Account Bank a Blocking Notice specifying that
an Event of Default under the Pledge Agreement has occurred and is continuing, this authorization
to operate the Accounts will automatically be revoked and the Accounts be blocked one (1) Banking
Day (“Banking Day” meaning any day on which banks are open for business purposes in Luxembourg)
after the receipt of the Blocking Notice. Any transfers, realisations or enforcement that the
Account Bank may conduct in favour of or on behalf of the Collateral Agent shall in any event be
limited to the value of the cash claims, securities and credit balances of the Accounts on the date
of any transfer, realisation or enforcement.



The Account Bank hereby releases any pledge or lien resulting from the application of its general
terms and conditions or any other agreement over the Accounts and waives any right of retention,
set-off and, more generally, any rights that may adversely affect the Pledge.



The acceptance of the terms of the Pledge Agreement by the Account Bank does not imply any
obligation for the Account Bank to guarantee any commitments of the Pledgor towards the Collateral
Agent or towards any other party to any other agreement mentioned in the Pledge Agreement. The
Account Bank hereby expressly disclaims any warranty, guarantee, conditions, covenant and
representations regarding any other agreement referred to in the Pledge Agreement as well as
regarding the conformity of the provisions of the Pledge Agreement with Luxembourg law. It is
specifically agreed that the Account Bank shall have no responsibility nor duty to check that the
conditions set out in the Pledge Agreement or any other agreement and defined in these agreements
as “Event of Default” are fulfilled, nor to check that the operation of the Accounts by the Pledgor
is made according to any agreement mentioned in the Pledge Agreement.



The Pledgor and the Collateral Agent expressly accept that the Account Bank shall not assume any
other obligation than:





	 	•	 	those expressly provided for in this Acknowledgement or in the provisions of
Luxembourg law relating to pledges;
	 
	 	•	 	upon occurrence of an enforcement of the Pledge (clauses 6 and 10 of the Pledge
Agreement), to act according to the actions which the Collateral Agent requests the
Account Bank to take.




In addition to its obligations foreseen in the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent accepts:





	 	•	 	to send to the Account Bank a copy of the notice of Enforcement Event;
	 
	 	•	 	to send all notices foreseen in the Pledge Agreement to the Account Bank by
registered mail or special courier service AND by fax to the following number +352-[...]
before 17:00 (5:00 PM) Luxembourg time.

The Pledgor and the Collateral Agent hereby acknowledge that the Account Bank shall not be liable
for any loss or damage suffered by the Pledgor or the Collateral Agent, save if such loss or damage
is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Account Bank. The Pledgor
will indemnify the Account Bank and keep the Account Bank indemnified against all reasonable and
duly documented damages, losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities which may be
incurred by or made against the Account Bank for anything done or omitted in the exercise or
purported exercise of the powers contained herein other than to the extent that such damages,
losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities are incurred or made against the Account
Bank as a result of gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Account Bank. The indemnity
provisions of clause 8 of the Pledge Agreement shall also be applicable to the Account Bank.



These undertakings are for the benefit of the Account Bank only and shall not in any way affect the
relation between the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent. This Acknowledgement shall in no way affect
the rights of the Collateral Agent or the obligations of the Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement, or
the existence, perfection, continuity or enforceability of the Pledge constituted there under. In
case of discrepancies between the Pledge Agreement and this Acknowledgement, the latter shall
prevail.



The Collateral Agent shall provide us as of the date of the signature of this Acknowledgement with
the name of the signatories authorised to sign the Blocking Notice. In case of any change in this
respect, the Collateral Agent shall inform us of the newly authorised signatories.



This Acknowledgement is governed by and to be construed according to Luxembourg law.



Yours sincerely,




SOCIETE GENERALE BANK & TRUST
