(c) The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. (d) This Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture. (e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. (f) Such Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. (g) As between the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

SECTION 4.2 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. SECTION 4.3 GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON CERTAIN TERMS. (a) Subject to Section 4.4(a) below, a Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving Person) another Person unless the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guaranteeing Subsidiary or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture and the Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein. (b) Subject to Section 4.4(a) below, in case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered -4- to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guaranteeing Subsidiary with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guaranteeing Subsidiary. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary with or into the Company or another Guaranteeing Subsidiary, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guaranteeing Subsidiary. SECTION 4.4 RELEASES. (a) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guaranteeing Subsidiary (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate to the effect that such sale or other disposition has occurred, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary from its obligations under its Note Guarantee. (b) The Company, in its sole discretion, may release and relieve a Guaranteeing Subsidiary of any obligations under its Note Guarantee in the event such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is no longer a guarantor of any Guarantied Obligations.

(c) Any Guaranteeing Subsidiary not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture. SECTION 4.5 SUBORDINATION OF NOTE GUARANTEE. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary covenants and agrees that the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under its Note Guarantee shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations under the Senior Guarantee of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary. SECTION 4.6 PAYMENT OVER OF PROCEEDS UPON DISSOLUTION, ETC. Upon any distribution to creditors of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary in a liquidation or dissolution of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to such Guaranteeing Subsidiary or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary's assets and liabilities: (i) holders of the Senior Guarantees shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all obligations due in respect of such Senior Guarantees (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the Indebtedness to which such Senior Guarantee relates whether or not any such interest is allowed as an enforceable claim against the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in such proceeding) before holders of the Note Guarantee shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Note Guarantee (except that Holders may receive (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 of the Indenture); and (ii) until all obligations with respect to the Senior Guarantees (as provided in clause (i) above) are paid in full in cash, any distribution to which holders of the Note Guarantee would be -5- entitled but for this Section 4 shall be made to holders entitled to the benefit of the Senior Guarantees (except that holders of the Note Guarantee may receive (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 of the Indenture), as their interests may appear. SECTION 4.7 DEFAULT ON SENIOR GUARANTEES. (a) A Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any holder in respect of obligations with respect to the Note Guarantee and may not acquire from the Trustee or any Holder any Notes for cash or property (other than (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 of the Indenture) until all obligations with respect to the Senior Guarantees have been paid in full in cash if: (i) a default in the payment of any obligations with respect to any Senior Guarantee occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period in the agreement, indenture or other document governing such Senior Guarantee; or (ii) a default, other than a payment default, with respect to any Senior Guarantee occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of the Senior Guarantee to accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness to which such Senior Guarantee relates and a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a "PAYMENT BLOCKAGE NOTICE") from a Person who may give it pursuant to Section 4.13 hereof. If a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives any such Payment Blockage Notice, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until (A) at least 360 days shall have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (B) all scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been waived for a period of not less than 180 days. (b) A Guaranteeing Subsidiary may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Note Guarantee and may acquire Notes upon the earlier of: (i) the date upon which the default is cured or waived, or (ii) in the case of a default referred to in clause (ii) of subclause (a) hereof, 179 days pass after notice is received if the maturity of the Indebtedness to which such Senior Guarantee relates has not been accelerated, if this Section 4 otherwise permits the payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment or acquisition. SECTION 4.8 WHEN DISTRIBUTION MUST BE PAID OVER. In the event that the Trustee or any holder receives any payment of any obligations with respect to the Note Guarantee at a time when a Trust Officer of the Trustee or such holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment is prohibited by this Section 4, such payment shall be held by the Trustee or such holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of the Senior Guarantees as their interests may appear or their representative under the indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which the Senior Guarantees may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all obligations with respect to the Senior Guarantees remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of the Senior Guarantees. With respect to the holders of the Senior Guarantees, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Section 4 and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of the Senior Guarantees shall be read into this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of the Senior Guarantees, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of holders of the Note Guarantee or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Guarantees shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 4, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. -6- SECTION 4.9 SUBROGATION. After all obligations with respect to the Senior Guarantees are paid in full and all Guarantied Obligations are satisfied or terminated and until the Notes are paid in full, holders of the Note Guarantee shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Guarantees to receive distributions applicable to the Senior Guarantees to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the holders of the Note Guarantee have been applied to the payment of the obligations with respect to the Senior Guarantees. A distribution made under this Section 4 to holders of Senior Guarantees that otherwise would have been made to holders of the Note Guarantee is not, as between a Guaranteeing Subsidiary and Holders, a payment by such Guaranteeing Subsidiary on the Note Guarantee. SECTION 4.10 RELATIVE RIGHTS. This Section 4 defines the relative rights of holders of the Note Guarantee and holders of Senior Guarantees. Nothing in this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture shall: (i) impair, as between the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary and holders of the Note Guarantee, the obligation of the Company and the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; (ii) affect the relative rights of holders of the Note Guarantee and creditors of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Guarantees; or (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Guarantees to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to holders of the Note Guarantee. SECTION 4.11 SUBORDINATION MAY NOT BE IMPAIRED BY ANY GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARY. No right of any holder of a Senior Guarantee to enforce the subordination of the obligations evidenced by the Note Guarantee shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by any Guaranteeing Subsidiary or any holder of the Note Guarantee or by the failure of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary or any holder of the Note Guarantee to comply with this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture. SECTION 4.12 DISTRIBUTION OR NOTICE TO REPRESENTATIVE. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of the Senior Guarantees, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their representative. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary referred to in this Section 4, the Trustee and the holders of the Note Guarantee shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the holders of the Note Guarantee for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Guarantees and other Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 4. SECTION 4.13 RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENT. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments in accordance with the Indenture and the Note Guarantee, unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least five business days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any obligations with respect to the Note Guarantee to violate this Section 4. Only a Guaranteeing Subsidiary or a Representative may give the notice. For purposes of this Section 4.13, "Representative" means, until the Credit Agreement has been terminated, the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, and thereafter, any authorized representative of the holders of the Senior Guarantees, so long as such representative has provided proof of its status as an authorized representative to the Trustee prior to giving any notice pursuant to this Section 4.13. Nothing in this Section 4 shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Indenture. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Guarantees with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. SECTION 4.14 NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this -7- Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such a waiver is against public policy. SECTION 5. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. SECTION 5.1 ADDITIONAL EVENT OF DEFAULT. In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, the Notes shall include the following additional Event of Default: "(7) Group or Packaging fails to comply in any material respect with any of its agreements contained in the Indenture, or the loss of the perfection or priority of the Liens securing the Notes or the Note Guarantee pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, so long as the Notes are secured in accordance with the terms thereof, and in each case the Default continues for the period and after the notice specified in the final paragraph of this Section 6.01." SECTION 5.2 OTHER PROVISIONS RESTATED. The following provisions shall be amended and restated with respect to the Notes in order to provide for rights, directions and remedies as they relate to the Pledge Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement: "Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal or interest on the Securities of that series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of that series, this Indenture, the Pledge Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Note Guarantee. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law." "Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. A Holder of Securities of any series may not pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Securities, the Pledge Agreement or any Note Guarantee unless: (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to that series; (2) the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
