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 such incurrence of indebtedness, it is intended that the Existing Financing Arrangements be supplemented and/or amended. SIG Euro Holding AG & Co.KGaA may, among other things, be required to do some or all of the following:

5.	enter into one or more amendment agreements and/or amendment and restatement agreements which will, among other things, increase the available commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and make additional amendments to facilitate the Acquisition (the “Additional Bank Debt”);
6.	provide certain affirmation, re-affirmations and/or confirmations that its guarantees currently in place in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the 2009 Notes continue in full force and effect and, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, extend to the Additional Bank Debt;
7.	provide any amendment, restatement, affirmation, re-affirmation, supplement, extension, confirmation or release and retake of security, or grant of new or additional security (which may be second ranking) in respect of collateral under the applicable agreements, instruments or other documents creating security interests in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the 2009 Notes (the “Security Documents”) in order to provide that such Security Documents (i) secure obligations with respect to the New Secured Notes and the

4

	Additional Bank Debt on apari passubasis with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the 2009 Notes to the extent possible and (ii) continue to secure obligations in respect of the 2009 Notes; and
8.	enter into such amendments, supplements, joinders or other documents in connection with the Intercreditor Arrangements to the extent required as may be necessary to give effect to the proposed new structure,

	(together, the “Financing Transactions”).
	In addition, SIG Euro Holding AG & Co. KGaA 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 Pactiv Group 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 of any acquisition agreement(s), loan agreements, capital increases and/or any other documents (the “Acquisition and Structuring Transactions”).
