- 8 -









 






	 	 	(Genehmigung) such Future Pledgee becomes a party to this Agreement, it being understood
that any future or conditional claim (zukünftiger oder bedingter Anspruch) of such Future
Pledgee arising under the Loan Documents, or, in case of a successor indenture trustee
arising under the Senior Secured Note Documents shall be secured by the Pledges constituted
hereunder.






	2.4	 	All parties hereby confirm that the validity of the Pledges granted hereunder shall not be
affected by the Collateral Agent acting as representative without power of attorney for each
Future Pledgee.
	 
	2.5	 	The Pledgor herewith authorises the Collateral Agent to notify on its behalf the Pledges
and/or the identity of any Future Pledgee and the new pledges created pursuant to Clause 2.3
above to each Account Bank. Upon request of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor shall without
undue delay (unverzüglich) give such notice and provide the Collateral Agent with a copy
thereof.
	 
	2.6	 	The validity and effect of each of the Pledges shall be independent from the validity and the
effect of the other Pledges created hereunder. The Pledges to each of the Pledgees shall be
separate and individual pledges ranking pari passu with the other Pledges created hereunder.
	 
	2.7	 	Each of the Pledges is in addition, and without prejudice, to any other security the Pledgees
may now or hereafter hold in respect of the Obligations.
	 
	2.8	 	For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that nothing in this Agreement shall exclude a
transfer of all or part of the Pledges created hereunder by operation of law upon the transfer
or assignment (including by way of novation or assumption (Vertragsübernahme)) of all or part
of the Obligations by any Pledgee to a Future Pledgee.
	 
	3.	 	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.
	 
	4.	 	NOTICE OF PLEDGE
	 
	4.1	 	Subject to Clause 4.3 below the Pledgor undertakes that it will without undue delay, but
not later than within twenty business days after the date of this Agreement, and, in relation
to any Account opened after the date of this Agreement, within ten business days after such
new Account has been opened, notify each Account Bank and any other relevant third party of
the Pledges by delivering a notification substantially in the form set out in Schedule 3
(Form of Notice of Pledge) by registered mail




- 9 -









 






	 	 	(Einschreiben mit Rückschein). The Pledgor shall provide the Collateral Agent with a copy of
each such notification and of the corresponding return receipt (Rückschein). In addition,
the Pledgor shall use all reasonable efforts to procure that each Account Bank promptly
acknowledges receipt of the respective notification, and acceptance of the terms thereof, to
the Collateral Agent (acting for and on behalf of the Pledgees) and to the Pledgor.
	 
	4.2	 	Without prejudice to the obligations imposed on the Pledgor in Clause 4.1 and, in the case
of future Accounts, Clause 8.3, the Pledgor hereby authorises the Collateral Agent and
releases it for this purpose from the restrictions of self-dealing under Section 181 of the
German Civil Code to notify each Account Bank and any other relevant third party on its behalf
of this Agreement and the Pledges constituted hereunder by delivering a notification
substantially in the form set out in Schedule 3 (Form of Notice of Pledge), or in such
substantially similar form as the Collateral Agent (acting for and on behalf of the Pledgees)
deems appropriate, provided that the Collateral Agent may only make use of this authorisation
if the Pledgor has not complied with the obligations imposed on the Pledgor in Clause 4.1
within 10 business days of being notified of such failure (with a copy of such notice being
sent to Reynolds Group Holdings Limited) and being requested to comply or if an Enforcement
Event has occurred and is continuing.
	 
	4.3	 	The Pledgor shall not be under an obligation to comply with its obligation under Clause 4.1
above whilst an Enforcement Event is not continuing if the Pledgor can prove to the Collateral
Agent (acting on behalf of the Pledgees) that notifying the relevant Account Bank of the
Pledges created hereunder would not be consistent with, whilst an Enforcement Event is not
continuing, the Pledgor retaining control over and the ability to freely use the balance of
any such Account. The Collateral Agent will take instructions in accordance with the First
Lien Intercreditor Agreement whether or not to agree with the Pledgor’s analysis. For the
avoidance of doubt, at the date of this Agreement the Pledgor agrees that notifying the
Account Banks of the Pledges created hereunder is not inconsistent with the Pledgor retaining
control over and the ability to freely use the balance of any Account existing at the date of
this Agreement.
	 
	5.	 	PLEDGOR’S RIGHT OF DISPOSAL
	 
	 	 	The Pledgor may exercise all rights and powers in respect of each Account until the Pledgees
(acting through the Collateral Agent) give notice to the contrary to the Account Bank with a
copy to the Pledgor. The Pledgees (acting through the Collateral Agent) may give such notice
only if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.

	6.	 	ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLEDGES
	 
	6.1	 	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 has become due and payable, then in order to enforce the Pledges (or any of them),
the Collateral Agent may on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Pledgees 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.
	 
	6.2	 	Notwithstanding Section 1277 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgees are entitled to exercise
their rights without obtaining an enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer
Titel). The Pledgees shall be entitled to have the Pledges enforced in any manner allowed
under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
	 
	6.3	 	The Collateral Agent will notify the Pledgor five business days prior to the enforcement of
the Pledges (or any of them) according to Clause 6. No such notification shall be required
if (i) the Pledgor has generally ceased to make payments (Zahlungseinstellung), (ii) an
application for the institution of insolvency proceedings is filed by or against the Pledgor
or (iii) the Pledgees have reasonable grounds to believe that observance of the notice period
will adversely affect the legitimate interests (berechtigte Interessen) of the Pledgees.
	 
	6.4	 	If the Pledgees acting through the Collateral Agent should seek to enforce the Pledges
pursuant to Clause 6.1 hereof, the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all
necessary assistance in order to facilitate the prompt realisation of the Pledges (or any of
them) and/or the exercise by the Pledgees, acting through the Collateral Agent, of any other
right they may have as Pledgee.
	 
	6.5	 	The Pledgees (acting through the Collateral Agent) may, in their sole discretion, determine
which of several security interests (created under this or other security agreements) shall be
used to satisfy the Obligations.
	 
	6.6	 	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.
	 
	6.7	 	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.
	 
	6.8	 	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 Pledgees shall
pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise. Further, the




- 11 -









 






	 	 	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 a Grantor or any affiliate of a Grantor or assign any of these claims.
	 
	7.	 	LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT
	 
	7.1	 	The Pledgees shall be entitled to enforce the Pledges without limitation in respect of:






	 	(a)	 	all and any amounts which are owed under the Credit Documents by the Pledgor
itself or by any of its 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 or any of
its 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”).






	7.2	 	Besides an enforcement in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount pursuant to Clause 7.1
above, the Pledgees shall not be entitled to enforce the Pledge against the Pledgor if and to
the extent that:






	 	(a)	 	the Pledges secure 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 enforcement 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.




- 12 -









 












	7.3	 	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 Pledges are enforced.






	7.4	 	The limitations set out in Clause 7.2 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 any of the
Pledges (the “Notice”), the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent
(x) to what extent such Pledges are up-stream or cross-stream security as described in
Clause 7.2 above and (y) which amount of such up-stream or cross-stream security
cannot be enforced as it would cause the net assets of the Pledgor to fall below its
stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 7.3 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




- 13 -









 






	 	 	 	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 7.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 7.3 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 7.3 above. If the Pledgor fails to deliver a Balance Sheet
within the aforementioned time period, the Pledgees shall be entitled to enforce the
Pledges irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 7.2 above.






	7.5	 	If the Pledgees (acting through the Collateral Agent) disagree with the Balance Sheet, the
Collateral Agent and the Pledgees shall be entitled to enforce the Pledges up to the amount
which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be enforced in compliance with the limitations set
out in Clause 7.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which the Pledgor is
liable under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent and the Pledgees shall be entitled to
further pursue their 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
Pledgees have given notice of their intention to enforce the security created under this
Agreement).
	 
	7.6	 	No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Clause 7 will prejudice the right of the
Collateral Agent and the Pledgees to continue enforcing the Pledges (subject always to the
operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full
satisfaction to the claims secured.
	 
	8.	 	UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR
	 
	 	 	Unless otherwise permitted by the Principal Finance Documents, during the term of this
Agreement, the Pledgor undertakes to each of the Pledgees:
	 
	8.1	 	subject to Clause 4.3 to use all reasonable efforts to procure that each Account Bank
releases any existing lien, including without limitation any pledge existing by operation of
its general business conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen), and waives any right of
set-off and right of retention in respect of the Accounts by countersigning and returning an
acknowledgement of notice of pledge substantially in




- 14 -









 






	 	 	the form set out in Schedule 3 (Form of Notice of Pledge) to the Pledgor and the Collateral
Agent.
	 
	8.2	 	to instruct each Account Bank to provide the Collateral Agent following receipt by the
relevant Account Bank of a notice pursuant to Clause 5 with all information requested by it
in respect of the Accounts and to that extent to release each Account Bank from its obligation
to maintain confidentiality (Bankgeheimnis) by delivering a notice of pledge to the respective
Account Bank in accordance with the requirements set out in Clause 4.1 or, in the case of
any future Account, Clause 8.3. The Pledgor undertakes not to revoke such instruction during
the term of this Agreement, other than in respect of an Account which is closed or disposed of
in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents;
	 
	8.3	 	to notify the Collateral Agent (for and on behalf of the Pledgees) without undue delay
substantially in the form set out in Schedule 4 (Form of Notification of future Accounts) of
each new bank account opened by the Pledgor with a credit institution in the Federal Republic
of Germany in accordance with Clause 4 above including a designation, as applicable, whether
such new bank account is a Social Security Bank Account . For the avoidance of doubt, the
Pledgor is aware that any new bank account opened within the Federal Republic of Germany
(except in case of a Social Security Bank Account) will become an Account in the meaning of
this Agreement upon notice to the Account Bank and will be subject to the Pledge and the
obligations assumed by the Pledgor hereunder without any further agreement;
	 
	8.4	 	to close any of the Accounts only upon giving 5 business days prior notice to the Collateral
Agent and provided that the Pledgees (acting through the Collateral Agent) have not given a
notice pursuant to Clause 5;
	 
	8.5	 	to deliver to the Collateral Agent, within three months after the end of each calendar year
ending after January 2010, and at any time upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent,
up-to date account statement sheets (Kontoauszüge) showing the balance on each of the
Accounts, provided that the Collateral Agent shall not request such information more than one
additional time in any one year prior to the occurrence of an Enforcement Event and while it
is continuing;
	 
	8.6	 	with regard to any account books (Sparbücher) and any other documents which are necessary to
dispose over (verfügen) any of the Accounts, the Pledgor undertakes to deliver the originals
of such documents to the Collateral Agent without undue delay if the Pledgees (acting through
the Collateral Agent) have given a notice pursuant to Clause 5 and to deliver to the
Collateral Agent upon its reasonable request following such event without undue delay any
documents or other information concerning the Accounts, in particular (but not limited to) the
account opening documents and any agreements between the Account Bank and the Pledgor in
relation to the Accounts;




- 15 -









 






	8.7	 	not to grant to any third party any rights in respect of the Accounts (keine Und-Konten oder
Oder-Konten oder sonstige Rechte Dritter) (other than those arising under the relevant Account
Bank’s general business conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen)) without the prior
written consent of the Collateral Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
	 
	8.8	 	to inform the Collateral Agent without undue delay of any attachment (Pfändung) and any third
parties bringing claims in respect of any of the Accounts, such notice to be accompanied by
any documents the Pledgees (or any of them) might need to defend themselves against any claim
by a third party. In the case of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Accounts,
the Pledgor undertakes to forward to the Collateral Agent without undue delay a copy of the
attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all
other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment. The Pledgor shall inform the
attaching creditor of the Pledges without undue delay;
	 
	8.9	 	except as otherwise agreed pursuant to the Principal Finance Documents, insofar as additional
declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledges (or any of them), the
Pledgor shall, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, make such declarations and
undertake such actions at the Pledgor’s costs and expenses; and
	 
	8.10	 	except as otherwise agreed pursuant to the Principal Finance Documents, to confirm or
re-execute, upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, on the same terms as contained
herein, the Pledges created hereunder in order to ensure that any Future Pledgee shall receive
the benefit of such Pledges.
	 
	9.	 	DELEGATION
	 
	 	 	The Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent shall only remain liable for diligently
selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate.
	 
	10.	 	INDEMNITY
	 
	 	 	To the extent set out in the First Lien Intercreditor Credit 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, damages, expenses, demands, taxes, losses and costs which it
may sustain as a consequence of any breach by the Pledgor of the provisions of this
Agreement, the exercise or purported exercise of any of the rights and powers conferred on
them by this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Pledges.




- 16 -









 






	11.	 	NO LIABILITY
	 
	 	 	Except to the extent provided in the Principal Finance Documents, none of the Collateral
Agent, 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 Collateral Agent, 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.
	 
	12.	 	DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
	 
	12.1	 	This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until complete satisfaction of the
Obligations. The Pledges shall not cease to exist, if the Grantors under the Credit Documents
have only temporarily discharged the Obligations.
	 
	12.2	 	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.
	 
	12.3	 	This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or
will be given to the Pledgees or 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.
	 
	12.4	 	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.
	 
	13.	 	RELEASE (PFANDFREIGABE)
	 
	13.1	 	Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as
instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and the other Pledgees
will as soon as reasonably practical 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), cease to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
	 
	13.2	 	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




- 17 -









 






	 	 	Pledgees shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security
(Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First
Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and the other Pledgees may in their reasonable discretion
determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
	 
	13.3	 	The Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement) and the other Pledgees, acting through the Collateral Agent, will as soon as
reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the Pledges (Pfandfreigabe) to the
Pledgor in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements.
	 
	14.	 	PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
	 
	14.1	 	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.
	 
	14.2	 	No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgees, 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.	 	AMENDMENTS
	 
	 	 	Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 15 shall be made in writing.
	 
	16.	 	NOTICES AND THEIR LANGUAGE
	 
	16.1	 	All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be

	18.1	 	The parties to this Agreement may choose to conclude this Agreement by an exchange of signed
