SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), effective as of March 1, 2018, by and among Rank Group Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of New Zealand (“RGL”), Rank Group North America, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (“RGNA”) (each a “Service Provider”), and Reynolds Group Holdings Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Service Recipient”).

WHEREAS, RGL is directly owned by Graeme Richard Hart (“Mr. Hart”);

WHEREAS, RGNA is a direct subsidiary of RGL;

WHEREAS, the Service Recipient operates through itself and its various subsidiaries, and is indirectly owned by Mr. Hart; 

WHEREAS, the Service Recipient is seeking assistance, including for certain of its affiliates, with respect to certain categories of management services;

WHEREAS, each Service Provider desires to provide, either directly or through certain of its affiliates (in its sole discretion), certain categories of management services to the Service Recipient (and to certain of its affiliates); 

WHEREAS, each Service Provider has the requisite knowledge and expertise to provide such management services; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Agreement to specify the terms on which the Services (defined below) will be provided.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.    SERVICE PROVIDERS’ DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1.1    The Service Recipient hereby hires each Service Provider to render, and each Service Provider hereby agrees to render, the management services described in Exhibit A (the “Services”).  The Services will be provided by either the Service Providers’ or any of their affiliates’ personnel, or by third parties contracted by either Service Provider in a manner that most efficiently meets the needs of the Service Recipient, which in each case will be determined by the relevant Service Provider in its sole discretion.    

1.2    In no event will either Service Provider be liable to the Service Recipient for any financial loss to the Service Recipient in connection with the provision of Services under this Agreement.

Section 2.    SERVICE FEE AND PAYMENT

2.1    Each Service Provider will charge the Service Recipient, and the Service Recipient will pay each Service Provider, an arm’s length service fee for the Services provided, which shall be equal to the amount determined in accordance with Exhibit B (the “Service Fee”). 

2.2    The costs incurred by each Service Provider in providing the Services under this Agreement will be calculated using a generally accepted cost accounting system and will be based on actual direct and indirect costs incurred by the relevant Service Provider or any of their affiliates’ personnel or costs incurred by third parties contracted by the relevant Service Provider.

2.3    All payments made by the Service Recipient under this Agreement will be in U.S. dollars net of any deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes (defined below) imposed on any party by the local taxing authority.

2.4    Each Service Provider will invoice the Service Recipient for the Service Fee monthly. Each such invoice shall be payable upon receipt by the Service Recipient.  Interest will be charged on past due unpaid balances in the amount of the maximum interest rate per month legally permitted under the jurisdiction of the Service Recipient.  Payment will be made in the United States of America in accordance with the terms of the applicable invoice. 

2.5    The parties have established this Agreement with the intent to satisfy the arm’s length standard under local law. The parties intend to maintain contemporaneous documentation to support the determination of the Service Fee.  In the event that the local taxing authority of any party makes an adjustment to any intercompany transaction and the local party has used its best efforts to resolve the matter, the parties hereby mutually agree that each is contractually bound to reimburse the other an amount equal to any final transfer pricing adjustment determined by said local taxing authority regarding the intercompany transactions at issue.  This adjustment includes interest, penalty and any other additions to tax.  Any reimbursement under this provision is to be made regardless of any local tax authority or tax treaty procedural matters relating to this Agreement.

2.6    Each Service Provider will maintain corporate records that adequately support the invoices that it submitted to the Service Recipient and will make available such corporate records to the Service Recipient upon reasonable request.

3.5    The Service Recipient may terminate this Agreement (i) immediately and without notice if either of the Service Providers is declared insolvent or bankrupt, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation is filed against it or (ii) 30 days after notice of a material breach of this Agreement to the Service Providers if such material breach is not cured during such 30 day period.

3.6    With respect to the Service Providers or Service Recipient, this Agreement shall terminate immediately and without notice if there is a change in the ownership or control of either Service Provider or the Service Recipient such that either of the Service Providers or Service Recipient is no longer wholly-owned directly or indirectly by Mr. Hart. 

Section 4.    TAXES

4.1    The term “Taxes” will mean any and all present and future levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges, or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto imposed on any party by applicable tax authorities.    
4.2    If the paying party is required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement to another party (i) the paying party shall make such deductions, and (ii) the paying party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authorities in accordance with the requirements of applicable law.
4.3    In addition, the paying party agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or similar tax, charge or levy that arise from any payments made under or in respect of this Agreement.
