    PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

 

    (1) The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other agents and lenders party thereto are parties to the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of April 3, 2007 (as modified by that certain Incremental Assumption Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “Initial Incremental Assumption Agreement”), the “Credit Agreement”).

    Pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof:

 

    (a) The Incremental Term Lender agrees to make a single loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date in a principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth with respect to the Incremental Term Lender on Schedule 1 hereto (with respect to the Incremental Term Lender, its “Term E Loan Commitment”).

 

    (b) The Administrative Agent hereby approves of the Incremental Term Lender as an Incremental Term Lender under the Credit Agreement and approves of the terms of the Term E Loans as set forth in Section 2 hereof.

 

    SECTION 2. Terms of the Term E Loans

 

    Pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement, the Term E Loans shall be Other Term Loans, the terms of which shall be as follows:

 

    (a) The aggregate amount of the Term E Loans and Term E Loan Commitments shall be $1,125,000,000.00.

 

    (b) The Incremental Term Facility Maturity Date with respect to the Term E Loans shall be the date that is seven years following the Effective Date.

 

  

  

  

    (c) The amortization schedule relating to the Term E Loans shall be as set forth on Annex A attached hereto.

 

    (d) The Applicable Margin with respect to the Term E Loans shall be 2.75% per annum in the case of any Eurocurrency Loan that is a Term E Loan and shall be 1.75% for any ABR Loan that is a Term E Loan.

 

    (e) Solely for the purposes of calculation of interest payable in respect of Term E Loans, the term “ABR” shall mean, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Credit Suisse as its “prime rate” at its principal office in New York, New York and (c) 2.00%. Any change in such rate announced by Credit Suisse shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of such change.

 

    (f) Solely for the purposes of calculation of interest payable in respect of Term E Loans, the term “LIBO Rate” shall mean, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing for any Interest Period, the greater of (a) 1.00% per annum and (b) the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as published by Bloomberg (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, for Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period; provided, that if such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the “LIBO Rate” for such Interest Period shall be the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate at which deposits in Dollars for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period in same day funds in the approximate amount of the Eurocurrency Loan being made, continued or converted by Credit Suisse and with a term equivalent to such Interest Period would be offered by Credit Suisse’s London Branch to major banks in the London interbank eurocurrency market at their request at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period.

 

    (g) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, in the event that, on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date, there occurs any Repricing Event or in connection with a Repricing Event constituting an amendment or conversion of Term E Loans, any Incremental Term Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is required to assign its Term E Loans pursuant to Section 2.19(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall on the date of such Repricing Event pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Incremental Term Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with such Term E Loans that are subject to such Repricing Event or are required to be so assigned, a fee equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term E Loans subject to such Repricing Event or required to be so assigned; provided that any prepayment of any Term E Loans made in connection with a Change in Control shall not require the payment of the 1.00% premium otherwise provided for in this paragraph.

 

    For purposes of this Section 2(g), “Repricing Event” shall mean any prepayment or repayment of Term E Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion or amendment of Term E Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of term loans bearing interest with an “effective yield” (taking into account, for example, upfront fees, interest rate spreads, interest rate benchmarks floors and original interest discount, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders of such new or replacement loans and without taking into account any fluctuations in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or comparable rate) less than the “effective yield” applicable to the Term E Loans (as such comparative yields are determined consistent with generally accepted financial practices) (it being understood that (x) in each case, the yield shall 

 

 

  

2

  

 

 

exclude any structuring, commitment and arranger fees or other fees unless such similar fees are paid to all lenders generally in the primary syndication of such new or replacement tranche of term loans and shall include any rate floors and any upfront or similar fees paid to all lenders generally in the primary syndication of such new or replacement tranche of term loans or original issue discount payable with respect to such new or replacement tranche of term loans and (y) any such repayment, prepayment or conversion shall only constitute a Repricing Event to the extent the primary purpose of such repayment, prepayment, conversion or amendment, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith, is to reduce the “effective yield” on the Term E Loans).

 

    (h) The provisions set forth in Section 2(h) of the Initial Incremental Assumption Agreement shall also apply to the Term E Loans with the same effect as such terms apply to the Term D Loans, it being understood and agreed that, on and after the Effective Date, such provisions shall apply to, and be effective as to, all Term Loans under the Credit Agreement, as modified by this Agreement.

 

    (i) All other terms not described herein and relating to the Term E Loans shall be the same as the terms of the Term D Loans.

Exhibit  10.3

 

	  	
AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated as of September 13, 2006, between Berry Plastics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and CURTIS L. BEGLE (the “Employee”).

 

 

WHEREAS, the Employee has entered into an employment agreement with the Corporation, dated as of September 13, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement”);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto do hereby agree to amend the Employment Agreement, effective as of as of and subject to the occurrence of the Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 28, 2006, by and between BPC Holding Corporation, BPC Holding Acquisition Corp. and BPC Acquisition Corp.), as follows (the “Amendment”):

 

1.  Term. Section 1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following text:

 

“Subject to earlier termination as provided herein, the employment of the Employee hereunder shall commence on the [Commencement Date/Effective Date] and terminate on December 31, 2011. Such period of employment is hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Period.”

 

2.  Retiree Plan. A new Section 8(c) is hereby inserted in the Employment Agreement and shall read as follows:

 

“Upon the termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of “retirement” (as defined in the Corporation’s Health and Welfare Plan for Early Retirees (the “Retiree Plan”)), the Employee (and his or her eligible spouse and dependents) shall be entitled to receive post-retirement medical insurance coverage pursuant to the terms of the Retiree Plan, for which the cost of premiums shall be paid by the Employee (or such spouse and/or dependents). In the event that the Retiree Plan is no longer in effect (or if otherwise necessary for tax and legal purposes), the Corporation shall make available equivalent coverage to the Employee (and such spouse and/or dependents) at substantially the same cost to the Employee (and such spouse and/or dependents) as would have been charged under the Retiree Plan as of the earlier of the date the Retiree Plan is terminated and the time of the Employee’s retirement (“Equivalent Retiree Coverage”); provided, however, that the Corporation may increase the premium charged to the Employee (and such spouse and/or dependents) based on the increase in cost, if any, to provide the Retiree Plan that may arise after the Employee’s retirement. The Corporation shall take all action necessary to ensure that the Equivalent Retiree Coverage, if any, shall be provided other than pursuant to the terms of a self-insured medical reimbursement plan that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 105(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.”

 

  

  

  

 

 

 

3.  Former Section 8(c) of the Employment Agreement shall be re-numbered 8(d).

 

4.  Restrictive Covenants. Clause (iii) of Section 10(a) of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following text:

 

“(iii) induce or solicit individuals who are, or were at any time in the preceding twelve months, employees of the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate thereof to terminate their employment with the Corporation or any such direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate or to engage in any Competing Business, or hire, or induce or solicit (or assist others to hire or induce or solicit) the hiring of, individuals then employed, or employed at any time in the preceding twelve months, by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, or”

 

5.  Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

 

  

  

  

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Amendment to be duly executed by its officer thereunder duly authorized and the Employee has hereunto set his hand, all as of the day and year first set forth above.
