interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement is the product of negotiation by the parties having the assistance of counsel and other advisers. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement not be construed more strictly with regard to
one party than with regard to the others.

or other image scan transmission and in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being
understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

to the extent referenced herein, the Merger Agreement, together with the several agreements and other documents and instruments referred to herein or therein or annexed hereto or thereto, embody the complete agreement and understanding among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written and oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

 5.7. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws
that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. In addition, each of the parties hereto (i)

  
 7 

 
consents to submit itself, and hereby submits itself, to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the courts of the United States of America located in the
State of New York in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave
from any such court, and agrees not to plead or claim any objection to the laying of venue in any such court or that any judicial proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (iii) agrees that it will not bring
any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or a court of the United States of America located in the State of New York. 

(b) Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury
in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or
otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, by, among
other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 5.7. 
 5.8. Amendment; Waiver. This
Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Stockholders. Each party may waive any right of such party hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party and delivered to the Company and the
Stockholders.

 (a) In the event that any covenant or agreement in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, each party hereto agrees that the non-breaching party will have the right to an
injunction, temporary restraining order, specific performance or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Each party hereto agrees not to
oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, such remedies as provided herein shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties hereto, and each party hereto waives all other remedies, including monetary remedies, with respect to any breaches of the terms hereof. 

(b) All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity
shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party. 

5.10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or
affecting the 

  
 8 

 
validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner adverse to any party or its
stockholders. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible and to the end that the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be fulfilled to the maximum extent possible. 
 5.11. Successors and Assigns;
Third Party Beneficiaries. Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer as provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations of any party under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any party
without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs and
legal representatives. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or
by reason of this Agreement. 
 5.12. Capacity as a Stockholder. Each Stockholder makes its agreements and
understandings herein solely in its capacity as the record holder and beneficial owner of the Covered Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholders or their
Representatives and Affiliates or any other Person solely in their capacity as directors or officers of Parent, and none of such actions taken shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Stockholder. 

5.13. Joint and Several Liability. The Stockholders hereby agree that all representations, warranties, covenants,
agreements, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement are joint and several to the Stockholders, and each Stockholder will be liable to the fullest extent provided for in this Agreement for any breach, default, liability or other obligation
of each of the other Stockholders. 
 5.15. Fees and Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay its own fees and
expenses (including those of its counsel and other advisors) incurred in connection with this Agreement.

 Exhibit 10.5 
 EXECUTION VERSION 
 STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT 

This Stockholders Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 12th day of April, 2011 by and among R. Philip Silver
(“Co-Founder 1”), D. Greg Horrigan (“Co-Founder 2” and, together with Co-Founder 1, the “Co-Founders”), Blackstone Capital Partners III Merchant Banking Fund L.P. (the
“Stockholder”) and Silgan Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). 
 W
I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Co-Founders and the
Company are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated as of November 6, 2001 (the “Principals Stockholders Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Principals Stockholders Agreement, the Group (as such term is defined in the Principals Stockholder Agreement and generally including the Co-Founders and their
affiliates, family members, trusts and estates) has the right to nominate to stand for election all of the directors to the Company’s Board of Directors so long as the Group holds an aggregate of at least one-half of the number of shares of the
Company’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), held by it on February 14, 1997 (as adjusted, if necessary to take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, subdivision or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company); 
 WHEREAS, the Company has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”) with Graham Packaging Company Inc. (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement); and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the parties hereto are entering into this Agreement providing that the
Co-Founders shall include one (1) designee of the Stockholder as one (1) of the Co-Founders’ nominees to stand for election to the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I. 

DIRECTOR NOMINATION RIGHTS 
 1.1 Nomination of Directors. 
 (a) Until the earlier of (x) such date
that the Stockholder holds less than one-third of the number of shares of Common Stock held by it in the aggregate as of the Effective Time of the Merger (as adjusted, if necessary, to take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination
of shares, subdivision or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company) and (y) such date that the Group no longer has the right to nominate to stand for election all of the directors of the Company’s Board of Directors under the
terms of Section 2.1(a) of the Principals Stockholders Agreement, the Stockholder shall have the right to designate for 

 
nomination one (1) individual to stand for election as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Nominee”), and upon such designation by the Stockholder such
Nominee shall, in turn, be nominated by the Co-Founders, pursuant to the terms of the Principals Stockholders Agreement, to stand for election as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, so long as such Nominee is reasonably satisfactory
to the Co-Founders. Upon such nomination by the Co-Founders, such Nominee shall stand for election as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors in accordance with the Parent Certificate (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement). In
the event that a Nominee is not reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Founders, the Stockholder shall have the right to designate a different individual as a Nominee until a Nominee is reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Founders. The Nominee shall be
nominated by the Co-Founders as a Class I Director (as such term is defined in the Parent Certificate). The Co-Founders hereby agree that Mr. Chinh Chu (“Mr. Chu”) is deemed reasonably acceptable for purposes hereof.

 (b) The Stockholder shall provide the Co-Founders with its Nominee designee within 30 days of receipt of a written request
from the Co-Founders for such designee’s name, provided that the Co-Founders shall not deliver such notice more than 90 days prior to the applicable annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company. If the Stockholder fails to designate for
nomination by the Co-Founders the requisite individual to stand for election as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors at such meeting within such 30 day period, then, so long as the Group has the right to nominate all of the directors of
the Company under the terms of Section 2.1(a) of the Principals Stockholders Agreement, the Co-Founders shall have the right, in lieu of the Stockholder, to nominate to stand for election as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors in
accordance with Principals Stockholders Agreement and the Parent Certificate such individual that the Stockholder so failed to designate. 
 (c) In the event that a Nominee dies, resigns or is otherwise removed by the Stockholder, the Stockholder shall have the right to designate such Nominee’s replacement, who shall be nominated by the
Co-Founders and approved by a majority of the directors of Company’s Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of the Parent Certificate and the Company’s bylaws; provided, however, that such replacement Nominee is reasonably
acceptable to the Co-Founders. In the event that a replacement Nominee is not reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Founders, the Stockholder shall have the right to designate a different individual as a replacement Nominee until a replacement Nominee
is reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Founders.
