THIS AGREEMENT OF INDEMNIFICATION is made on 6 July, 2011




BY:



Reynolds Group Holdings Limited, a company registered in New Zealand whose registered office is at
c/o Bell Gully (GJM), Level 22, Vero Centre, 48 Shortland Street, Auckland, New Zealand (“RGHL”);




IN FAVOUR AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF:



Each Indemnitee (as defined below).




BACKGROUND





	A.	 	As part of the Reynolds group of companies (the “Reynolds Group”), each U.S.
Obligor (as defined below) is a guarantor and/or security provider (as relevant) in respect of the
Reynolds Group’s existing financing arrangements (the “Existing Financing
Arrangements”).
	 
	B.	 	It is currently intended that RGHL will indirectly acquire Graham Packaging Company
Inc. (“GPC”) through the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL with and into GPC,
with GPC surviving such merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RGHL (the
“Acquisition”).
	 
	C.	 	In order to fund the Acquisition and the associated costs and transactions required to
effect the Acquisition, certain members of the Reynolds Group intend to incur additional
indebtedness; in connection with this additional indebtedness, the Existing Financing Arrangements
may be supplemented and/or amended (collectively, the “Financing Transactions”).
	 
	 	 	In addition, certain of the U.S. Obligors may be required to take certain steps as may be necessary
or desirable to effect corporate restructuring(s) and other steps necessary or desirable to
implement the Acquisition and may also participate in and take steps in connection with the
acquisition of certain of the GPC entities, and associated steps to fund such acquisitions, by
members of the Reynolds Group upon or following closing of the Acquisition, including, without
limitation, by way of entry into any acquisition agreement(s), loan agreements, capital increases
and/or any other related and necessary documents (the “Acquisition and Structuring
Transactions”).
	 
	 	 	Furthermore, certain of the U.S. Obligors may be required to take certain steps as may be necessary
or desirable to effect other acquisitions, dispositions, financings, refinancings or corporate
restructurings in connection with any future acquisition, disposition, financing, corporate
restructuring or any other transaction entered into by members of the Reynolds Group, including,
without limitation, by way of entry into any acquisition agreement, indenture, credit or other
financing agreement, intercreditor agreement, guarantee, security document, purchase agreement,
registration rights agreement or any




 









 






		 	other document, or any joinder to, or amendment or affirmation of, such document (each such
transaction, a “Prospective Transaction”, and collectively, the “Prospective
Transactions”).
	 
	 	 	(The Financing Transactions together with the Acquisition and Structuring Transactions and the
Prospective Transactions are, collectively, the “Transactions”, and the documents relating
to the Transactions, are collectively, the “Transaction Documents”.)
	 
	D.	 	RGHL has agreed to provide an indemnity to the Indemnitees (as defined below) in respect of
the Transactions, as further described below.




It is the intention of RGHL that this document be executed as an agreement (this
“Agreement”) in favour and for the benefit of each Indemnitee.



THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES as follows:





	1. 	 	Definitions
	 
	 	 	“Indemnitee” means each person listed in Part B of the Schedule to this Agreement and,
after the date of this Agreement, any person serving as or elected to or appointed to serve as a
director or officer of a U.S. Obligor; and
	 
	 	 	“U.S. Obligor” means each company listed in Part A of the Schedule to this Agreement.
	 
	2.	 	Indemnification
	 
	 	 	Subject to an Indemnitee complying with the procedures in clause 4 below, RGHL shall indemnify each
Indemnitee against all legal expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges in connection therewith)
(collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by an Indemnitee or on an
Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any proceeding resulting from or relating to decisions the
Indemnitee made or any actions the Indemnitee took on behalf of a U.S. Obligor in his or her
capacity as a director or officer of that company in connection with any Transactions or the
approval or execution of any Transaction Document or associated corporate authorization or
resolutions or documents in relation to the Transactions.
	 
	3.	 	Limitations on Indemnification
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement:






	 	(a)	 	to the extent that such indemnification is not permitted by applicable laws; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are the result of the gross negligence,
bad faith or wilful misconduct of the Indemnitee; or




2









 






	 	(c)	 	to the extent that payment is actually made, or for which payment is available, to or
on behalf of the relevant Indemnitee under an insurance policy, except in respect of any amount in
excess of the limits of liability of such policy or any applicable deductible for such policy; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	to the extent that payment has or will be made to the relevant Indemnitee by a U.S.
Obligor or any affiliate of RGHL otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement; or
	 
	 	(e)	 	in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) or appeal in relation to a
proceeding initiated by an Indemnitee, unless:






	 	(i)	 	such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the proceeding was authorised by the shareholder(s) (or other decision making organ)
of the relevant U.S. Obligor; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	such indemnification is provided by the relevant U.S. Obligor, in its sole
discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the U.S. Obligor under applicable law.






	4.	 	Indemnification Procedure






	 	4.1	 	To qualify for indemnification under this Agreement, each Indemnitee shall give RGHL
notice in writing as soon as practicable of any proceeding in relation to that Indemnitee for which
indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement.
	 
	 	4.2	 	To obtain indemnification payments or advances under this Agreement, an Indemnitee
shall submit to RGHL a written request therefore, together with such invoices or other supporting
information as may be reasonably requested by RGHL and reasonably available to the relevant
Indemnitee.
	 
	 	4.3	 	Subject to clauses 4.2 and 4.4, RGHL shall make such indemnification payment within
30 business days of receipt of such invoices and supporting information.
	 
	 	4.4	 	There shall be no presumption in favour of indemnification. If there is a dispute
between RGHL and an Indemnitee as to whether that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, then
independent legal counsel shall be selected by the board of directors of RGHL to make such
determination. The selected independent legal counsel shall make such determination within 30
business days of being selected and the decision of such independent legal counsel shall be binding
upon all RGHL and the relevant Indemnitee.






	5.	 	Severability






	 	 	If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected




3









 






		 	or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.






	6.	 	Governing law
	 
	 	 	This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions construed in accordance with New York law.
	 
	7.	 	Amendments
	 
	 	 	No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is approved in writing
by each Indemnitee having the benefit of this Agreement.
	 
	8.	 	Continuation of Agreement
	 
	 	 	This Agreement shall remain in effect in favor and for the benefit of each Indemnitee with respect
to any action or failure to act of such Indemnitee during the term of service of such Indemnitee as
a director or officer of the relevant U.S. Obligor, whether or not the term of service of such
Indemnitee has concluded.
