 PACKAGING CORPORATION OF AMERICA 

3.000% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2029 

Packaging Corporation of America, a corporation duly organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000) on December 15, 2029, and to pay interest thereon from and including November 21, 2019, or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to, but not including,
the applicable Interest Payment Date (as defined below) or Maturity, as the case may be. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning
on June 15, 2020, and at Maturity, at the rate of 3.000% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) 












 
is registered at the close of business on June 1 or December 1, as applicable, (whether or not a Business Day) prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest which is payable,
but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Person who was the Holder hereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and may be paid to
the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the
Holder of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in such Indenture. 
 Payment of the principal of and premium, if
any, and the interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register
or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States; and provided, further, that payments on global notes will be made to DTC, or its nominee. 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) issued and to be issued in one
or more series under an Indenture, dated as of July 21, 2003 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under
the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited (subject to exceptions provided in the Indenture) in aggregate principal
amount to $500,000,000, subject to the right of the Company, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, to “reopen” such series and to issue additional Notes of such series on the terms and subject to the conditions provided in or
pursuant to the Indenture. 
 At any time prior to the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or from time to
time in part, at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due on the final maturity date of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption
Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in the case of both clause
(i) and clause (ii) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, such Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior
to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of the Notes (or one or more Predecessor Notes) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the


  
 2 













 
provisions of the Indenture. In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at a Redemption
Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of the Notes (or one or more Predecessor Notes) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture. Any
such redemption shall be effected in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 Notice of any redemption will
be mailed at least 15 days but not more than 45 days before the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address. Notices of redemption may be conditioned upon the consummation of a
financing transaction or asset disposition (or a series of financing transactions or asset dispositions) in which part or all of the proceeds of such transaction will be used to redeem the Notes. In addition, if such redemption is subject to
satisfaction of any such condition, the notice of redemption may state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as such condition shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice
may be rescinded in the event that such condition shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or the redemption date so delayed. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at the Company’s option, the Trustee will select, in such
manner as it deems fair and appropriate, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the applicable Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption on such Redemption Date. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has
previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described above, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000) or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s
Notes at a Repurchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the applicable Repurchase Date. Within 30 days following
any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee,
describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the Change of Control Triggering Event Repurchase Date specified in the notice, which date
will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the oiler to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of
Control being consummated on or prior to the Repurchase Date specified in such notice. 
 The Company will comply with the requirements of
Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act’’) and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in
connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes,
the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict. 

  
 3 













 On the Change of Control Triggering Event Repurchase Date, the Company will, to the extent
lawful: (a) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer; (b) deposit with the Paying Agent
an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate
stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Company. 
 The Paying Agent will promptly mail or otherwise
deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Repurchase Price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes
such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. An offer to repurchase the
Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for a Change of Control at the time of the making of such an offer. 

As used in this Note, the following terms have the meaning set forth below: 

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” occurs if the Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any
date from the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (2) public notice of the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control, in each case until the end of the 60-day period
following the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) public notice of the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control; provided, however, that if during such 60-day
period one or more Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible downgrade of the Notes, then such 60-day period shall be extended for such time as the rating of the Notes by any
Rating Agency remains under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have
occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if each Rating Agency making the reduction in rating to
which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s or the Trustee’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or
circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 

  
 4 













 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

 

	 	(1)	 the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or
consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the
Exchange Act) other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; 


  

	 	(2)	 the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules
13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of the Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting
power rather than number of shares; or 


  

	 	(5)	 the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or any of the outstanding
Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction
constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction.

be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (4) above if (1) pursuant to such transaction or series of related transactions, the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of such holding company and (2)(A) the
direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately
following that transaction no “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules
13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of a majority of the Voting Stock of such holding company, measured by voting power rather than number

to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing in the United States of America appointed by the Company.

adjusted to constant maturity with a maturity corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Final Maturity Date for the Notes (assuming, for this purpose, that the Notes mature
on the Par Call Date), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis,
rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to
maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for such applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The

 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights of the Holders of Securities of each series issued under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on
behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Company and the Trustee, without notice to or consent of the Holders of the Notes, to enter into one or more indentures supplemental thereto for the purposes specified in the Indenture.

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security
Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Office or Agency of the Company maintained for the purpose in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Notes are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
Notes of authorized denominations as requested by the Holders, surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than in certain cases provided in the Indenture. 

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 8 













 The Indenture contains provisions whereby (i) the Company may be discharged from its
obligations with respect to the Notes (subject to certain exceptions) or (ii) the Company may be released from its obligations under specified covenants and agreements in the Indenture, in each case if the Company irrevocably deposits with the
Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes, and satisfies certain other conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. In addition, the Indenture shall cease to be of
further effect (subject to certain exceptions) with respect to the Notes when (1) either (A) all Notes previously authenticated and delivered have been delivered (subject to certain exceptions) to the Trustee for cancellation, or (B) all
Notes (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year and, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence,
the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and (2) the Company satisfies certain
other conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. In the case of a satisfaction and discharge pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence prior to the Par Call Date, (x) the Redemption Price, as calculated using the
Treasury Rate on the third Business Day preceding the deposit with the Trustee (in accordance with the definition of “Treasury Rate”) shall be sufficient for purposes of the deposit and (y) the Redemption Price shall be re-calculated using the Treasury Rate on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date as of which the Notes are called for redemption, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, on or prior to the
applicable Redemption Date, any deficit in the Redemption Price as so re-calculated, which shall be applied toward the redemption of the Notes. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate setting forth the re-calculation of the Redemption Price as of the Redemption Date. 

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture by the
manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
