|
7. | | ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLEDGES |
|
7.1 | | If (i) an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the requirements set forth in Sections 1273 para 2, 1204et seq. of the German Civil Code with regard to the enforcement of the Pledge are met (Pfandreife), in particular, if any of the Obligations has become due and payable, then in order to enforce the Pledge, the Pledgee may at any time thereafter avail itself of all rights and remedies that a pledgee has against a pledgor under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. |
|
7.2 | | Notwithstanding Section 1277 of the German Civil Code, the Pledgee is entitled to exercise its rights without obtaining enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel). The Pledgee shall be entitled to have the Pledge enforced in any manner allowed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular have the Pledge sold (including at public auction). |
|
7.3 | | The Pledgor hereby expressly agrees that 5 (five) business days’ prior written notice to the Pledgor of the place and time of any such sale shall be sufficient and the Pledgee shall not be obliged to deliver any further notices (including, but not limited to the notices set out under Section 1234 of the German Civil Code) to the Pledgor prior to such sale. The sale may take place at any place in the Federal Republic of Germany designated by the Pledgee. |
|
7.4 | | If the Pledgee should seek to enforce the Pledge under sub-Clause 7.1, the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all necessary assistance in order to facilitate the prompt sale of the Shares or any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Pledgee of any other right it may have as Pledgee. |
|
7.5 | | Whilst the requirements for enforcement under sub-Clause 7.1 are continuing, all subsequent dividend payments attributable to the Shares and all payments based on similar ancillary rights attributed to the Shares may be applied by the Pledgee in satisfaction in whole or in part of the Obligations or treated as additional collateral. |
|
7.6 | | Even if the requirements for enforcement referred to under sub-Clause 7.1 above are met, the Pledgee shall not, whether as proxy or otherwise, be entitled to exercise the |
- 17 -
| | voting rights attached to the Shares. However, the Pledgor shall, during the continuation of an event which allows the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge, have the obligations and the Pledgee shall have the rights set forth in sub-Clause 10.6 below regardless of which resolutions are intended to be adopted. |
|
7.7 | | The Pledgee may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests, if applicable, shall be used to satisfy the Obligations. The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its right pursuant to Section 1230 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code to limit the realisation of the Pledge and pledges over the shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies to such number of pledges as are necessary to satisfy the Obligations and agrees further that the Pledgee may decide to enforce the Pledge over the shares in the Company individually in separate proceedings or together with pledges over shares or partnership interests in one or more other companies at one single proceeding (Gesamtverwertung). |
|
7.8 | | The Pledgor hereby expressly waives all defences of revocation (Einrede der Anfechtbarkeit) and set-off (Einrede der Aufrechenbarkeit) pursuant to Sections 770, 1211 of the German Civil Code. |
|
7.9 | | The Pledgor hereby expressly waives its defences based on defences any Grantor might have against any of the Obligations (Einreden des Hauptschuldners) pursuant to Section 1211 para 1 sentence 1 alternative 1 of the German Civil Code. |
|
7.10 | | If the Pledge is enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Obligations (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of claims to a pledgor —Forderungsübergang auf den Verpfänder) shall not apply and no rights of the Pledgee shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise. Further, the Pledgor shall at no time before, on or after an enforcement of the Pledge and as a result of the Pledgor entering into this Agreement, be entitled to demand indemnification or compensation from the Company or the Company’s affiliates or to assign any of these claims. |
|
8. | | LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT |
|
8.1 | | The Pledgee shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations without limitation in respect of: |
| (a) | | all and any amounts which are owed under the Credit Documents by the Pledgor itself, the Company or by any of their subsidiaries; and |
| (b) | | all and any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed or otherwise raised under the Credit Documents, in each case to the extent borrowed, on-lent or otherwise passed on to, or issued for the benefit of, the Pledgor, the Company or any of their subsidiaries, or for the benefit of any of their creditors and in each case not repaid and outstanding from time to time |
| | (in aggregate, the “Unlimited Enforcement Amount”). |
- 18 -
8.2 | | Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount pursuant to Clause 8.1 above, the Pledgee shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations but shall return to the Pledgor proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge if and to the extent that: |
| (a) | | the Pledge secures the obligations of a Grantor which is (x) a shareholder of the Pledgor or (y) an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) of a shareholder of the Pledgor (other than the Pledgor and its subsidiaries); and |
|
| (b) | | the application of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards the Obligations would have the effect of (x) reducing the Pledgor’s net assets (Reinvermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount of less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets are already an amount of less than its stated share capital, of causing such amount to be further reduced and (y) would thereby affect the assets required for the obligatory preservation of the Pledgor’s stated share capital (Stammkapital) according to section 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung)provided thatthe amount of the stated share capital to be taken into consideration shall be the amount registered in the commercial register at the date hereof, and any increase of the stated share capital registered after the date of this Agreement shall only be taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. |
8.3 | | The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of the Pledgor’s assets (consisting of all assets which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section(2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the aggregate amount of the Pledgor’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code), save that: |
| (a) | | any asset that is shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such asset and that is not necessary for the Pledgor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value; |
|
| (b) | | obligations under loans provided to the Pledgor by any member of the Group or any other affiliated company shall not be taken into account as liabilities as far as such loans are subordinated by law or by contract at least to the claims of the unsubordinated creditors of the Pledgor; and |
|
| (c) | | obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the Pledgor in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities. |
- 19 -
| | The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and be based on the same principles that were applied by the Pledgor in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz). |
| | It being understood that the assets of the Pledgor will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of the Pledgor, at the time they prepare the Management Determination (as defined below) are, due to factual or legal circumstances at that time, in their opinion not able to make a positive prognosis as to whether the business of the Pledgor can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose), in particular when the Pledge is enforced. |
8.4 | | The limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above shall only apply if and to the extent that: |
| (a) | | without undue delay, but not later than within 5 business days, after receipt of a notification by the Collateral Agent of its intention to enforce the Pledge (the “Notice”), the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such Pledge is up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 8.2 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge attributable to the enforcement of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the Obligations but would have to be returned to the Pledgor as it would otherwise cause the Net Assets of the Pledgor to fall below its stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 8.3 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain the Pledgor’s stated share capital; or |
| (b) | | within 20 business days from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent receives from the Pledgor an up to date balance sheet prepared by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Determining Auditors”) which shows the value of the Pledgor’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 8.3 above,provided thatthe final sentence of Clause 8.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of the Pledgor should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to items to be adjusted pursuant to Clause 8.3 above. If the Pledgor fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Pledgee shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge towards satisfaction of the Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above. |
- 20 -
8.5 | | If the Pledgee disagrees with the Balance Sheet it shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledge in satisfaction of the Obligations up to an amount which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Obligations in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 8.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which the Pledgor is liable under this Agreement, the Pledgee shall be entitled to further pursue its claims (if any) and the Pledgor shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Pledgee has given notice that it intends to enforce the security created under this Agreement). |
8.6 | | No reduction of the amount enforceable or applicable towards satisfaction of the Obligations under this Clause 8 will prejudice the right of the Pledgee to continue enforcing the Pledge (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured. |
9. | | APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION |
| | The Pledgor as the sole shareholder of the Company hereby approves the Pledge over the Shares and over any and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Shares (as more particularly specified in Clause 4) and pursuant to the articles of association of the Company the Pledge is not subject to any approval of the Company. |

10.3 | | to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing of the registration of an objection (Widerspruch) in relation to the Shares of the Pledgor in the shareholders list (Gesellschafterliste) as filed (aufgenommen) with the commercial register (Handelsregister). |
10.4 | | to promptly notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of any attachment(Pfändung) in respect of any of the Shares or any ancillary rights set out in sub-Clause 4.1 such notice to be accompanied by any documents the Pledgee might need to defend itself against any claim of a third party. In particular, the Pledgor shall promptly forward to the Pledgee a copy of the attachment order |
- 21 -
| | (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order(Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment; |
10.5 | | in the event of any increase in the capital of the Company, not to allow, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any party other than himself to subscribe for any Future Shares, and not to defeat, impair or circumvent in any way the rights of the Pledgee created hereunder; |
10.6 | | to promptly inform the Pledgee, by notification in writing, of all matters concerning the Company of which the Pledgor is aware which would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor shall notify the Pledgee, by notification in writing, forthwith of any shareholders’ meeting at which a shareholders’ resolution is intended to be adopted which would have a materially adverse effect upon the Pledge. The Pledgor shall allow, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the circumstances which permit the Pledgee to enforce the Pledge constituted hereunder in accordance with Clause 7, the Pledgee or, as the case may be, its proxy or any other person designated by the Pledgee, to participate in all such shareholders’ meetings of the Company as attendants without power to vote. Subject to the provision contained in sub-Clause 14.1, the Pledgee’s right to attend a shareholders’ meeting shall lapse immediately upon complete satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations; |
10.7 | | to refrain from any acts or omissions, subject to the performance of its rights and duties under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the dilution of the value of the Shares or the Shares ceasing to exist, unless permitted by the Pledgee (acting reasonably); |
10.8 | | not to amend the articles of association of the Company to the extent that such amendment would materially adversely affect the security interest of the Pledgee created hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); |
10.9 | | insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the creation of the Pledge in favour of the Pledgee and at the Pledgee’s reasonable request, to make such declarations and undertake such actions at its own costs and expenses; and |
10.10 | | for the avoidance of doubt, notification and consent requirements as set out in sub-Clauses 10.1 through 10.8 of this Agreement are deemed to be satisfied if and to the extent such notification or consent has been delivered under the Existing Share Pledge Agreements provided that such notification to the Pledgee or consent of the Pledgee makes reference to this Agreement and each Existing Share Pledge Agreement. |
| | The Pledgee shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Pledgee shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate. |
- 22 -
| | The Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee (which, for purposes of this Clause 12, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the Credit Documents.

The Pledgee shall notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof;provided thatany failure so to notify Reynolds Group Holdings Limited shall not relieve the Pledgor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Pledgor may defend itself against such claim and the Pledgee shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. The Pledgee may have separate counsel and the Pledgor shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Pledgor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Pledgee through the Pledgee’s own wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit). No provision of this Agreement shall require the Pledgee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction. |
| | Except as otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement, none of the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) by the Pledgee, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder. |
14. DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE

15.2 | | At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Wert), exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Pledgee shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit. |
15.3 | | The parties acknowledge that the Pledgee (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will declare in writing the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements. |
16. PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER
16.1 | | If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be replaced with such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become |
- 24 -
| | evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties. |
16.2 | | No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. |
16.3 | | In particular, the Pledge shall not be affected and shall in any event extend to any and all shares in the Company even if the number or nominal value of the Existing Shares or the aggregate share capital of the Company as stated in Clause 2 are inaccurate or deviate from the actual facts. |
| | Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 17 shall be made in writing except where notarisation is required. |

20. | | APPLICABLE LAW, JURISDICTION |
|
20.1 | | This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. |
|
20.2 | | The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the district court (Landgericht) in Frankfurt am Main. The Pledgee however, shall also be entitled to take action against the Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law. |
The Notary advised the persons appearing:
| • | | that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical); |
| • | | that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and |
| • | | that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for |
- 27 -
| | enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes. |
The above Agreement including the Schedules was read aloud by the Notary to the persons appearing, approved by them and signed by the persons appearing and by the Notary in their own hand as follows:
