FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those risks and uncertainties discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and as updated in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. You should specifically consider the numerous risks outlined in those “Risk Factors” sections. These risks and uncertainties include factors related to:
changes in consumer preferences, lifestyle and environmental concerns;
relationships with our major customers, consolidation of our customer bases and loss of a significant customer;
competition and pricing pressures;
loss of, or disruption at, any of our key manufacturing facilities;
our suppliers of raw materials and any interruption in our supply of raw materials;
loss due to an accident, labor issues, weather conditions, natural disaster, the emergence of a pandemic or disease outbreak, such as coronavirus or otherwise;
the unknown duration and economic, operational and financial impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic;
costs of raw materials, energy, labor and freight, including the impact of tariffs, trade sanctions and similar matters affecting our importation of certain raw materials;
labor shortages and increased labor costs;
our ability to develop and maintain brands that are critical to our success;
economic downturns in our target markets;
impacts from inflationary trends;
difficulty meeting our sales growth objectives and innovation goals; and
changes in market interest rates.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.
Additional information about these factors and about the material factors or assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed on February 8, 2023, under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and as updated in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business:
Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us” or “our”) produce and sell products across three broad categories: cooking products, waste and storage products and tableware. We sell our products under brands such as Reynolds and Hefty, and also under store brands. Our product portfolio includes aluminum foil, wraps, disposable bakeware, trash bags, food storage bags and disposable tableware. We report four business segments: Reynolds Cooking & Baking; Hefty Waste & Storage; Hefty Tableware; and Presto Products.
Basis of Presentation:
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for comprehensive annual financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures therein. In our opinion, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual operating results.
In March 2023, we initiated a voluntary Supply Chain Finance program (the "SCF") with a global financial institution (the "SCF Bank"). Under the SCF, qualifying suppliers may elect to sell their receivables from us to the SCF Bank. These participating suppliers negotiate their receivables sales arrangements directly with the SCF Bank. We are not party to those agreements, nor do we provide any security or other forms of guarantees to the SCF Bank. The participation in the program is at the sole discretion of the supplier, we have no economic interest in a supplier's decision to enter into the agreement and have no direct financial relationship with SCF Bank, as it relates to the SCF. Once a qualifying supplier elects to participate in the SCF and reaches an agreement with the SCF Bank, they elect which individual invoices they sell to the SCF Bank. The terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier's participation in the SCF and as such, the SCF has no direct impact on our balance sheets, cash flows, or liquidity. Amounts due to suppliers who voluntarily participate in the SCF are included in accounts payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and our payments made under the SCF are reflected as an operating cash flow in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As of March 31, 2023, there were no obligations outstanding that we have confirmed as valid under the SCF.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and subsequently in January 2021, FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, both of which provide optional expedients and exceptions to applying the guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions, to simplify the accounting for transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), and other interbank offered rates expected to be discontinued, to alternative reference rates. Each of these ASUs were effective upon its issuance and could be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which amended the sunset date of the guidance in Topic 848 to December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2022. We adopted the standards as of January 1, 2023. As a result of the planned phase out of the LIBOR as a reference rate and adoption of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, we have amended our Credit Agreement and interest rate swaps and applied practical expedients under the guidance. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
7


In September 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. These amendments require disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2023. The adoption relates to disclosure only, and does not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

External Debt Facilities
In February 2020, we entered into external debt facilities (“External Debt Facilities”), which consist of (i) a $2,475 million senior secured term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”); and (ii) a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”). In February 2023 we amended the External Debt Facilities (as amended, the "Amended External Debt Facilities") which replaced the interest rate benchmark from the LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the External Debt Facilities remain unchanged, and our election to use practical expedients under ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, as described in Note 2 - New Accounting Standards, resulted in no material impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Borrowings under the Amended External Debt Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% or SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. During September 2020, May 2022 and August 2022, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from these borrowings. In conjunction with the amendment of our External Debt Facilities, we amended the outstanding interest rate swaps to replace the interest rate benchmark from the LIBOR to SOFR. Refer to Note 5 – Financial Instruments for further details.
8


The Amended External Debt Facilities contain a springing financial covenant requiring compliance with a ratio of first lien net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, applicable solely to the Revolving Facility. The financial covenant is tested on the last day of any fiscal quarter only if the aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the Revolving Facility and drawn but unreimbursed letters of credit exceed 35% of the total amount of commitments under the Revolving Facility on such day. We are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in our Amended External Debt Facilities.
If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Amended External Debt Facilities are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Amended External Debt Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by secured creditors.
Term Loan Facility
The Term Loan Facility matures in February 2027. The Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments of $6 million, which commenced in June 2020, with the balance payable on maturity.
Revolving Facility
The Revolving Facility matures in February 2025 and includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. As of March 31, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, and we had $7 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.
Fair Value of Our Long-Term Debt
The fair value of our long-term debt as of March 31, 2023, which is a Level 2 fair value measurement, approximates the carrying value due to the variable market interest rate and the stability of our credit profile.
Note 5 - Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Derivatives
During 2020 and 2022, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to fix the LIBOR of our External Debt Facilities. In February 2023, we amended our interest rate swaps to replace the interest rate benchmark from the LIBOR to SOFR. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the interest rate swap agreements remained unchanged, and our election to use practical expedients under ASUs 2020-04 and 2021-01, as described in Note 2 - New Accounting Standards, resulted in no material impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements. After the amendments, the aggregate notional amount of the interest rate swaps still in effect as of March 31, 2023 was $1,150 million, and the SOFR is fixed at an annual rate of 0.40% to 3.40% (for an annual effective interest rate of 2.15% to 5.15%, including margin).
The interest rate swaps outstanding as of March 31, 2023 hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our Term Loan Facility for periods ranging from two to three years. We classified these instruments as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense, net when settled. The associated asset or liability on the open hedges is recorded at its fair value in other assets or other liabilities, as applicable. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on market-based swap yield curves, taking into account current interest rates, and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table provides the notional amounts, the annual rates, the weighted average annual effective rates, and the fair value of our interest rate derivatives:

Note 6 Stock-based Compensation
Our equity incentive plan was established in 2020, for purposes of granting stock-based compensation awards to certain members of our senior management, our non-executive directors and to certain employees, to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. We have granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees and non-employee directors that have a service-based vesting condition. In addition, we have granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain members of management that have a performance-based vesting condition. We account for forfeitures of outstanding but unvested grants in the period they occur. A maximum of 10.5 million shares of common stock were initially available for issuance under equity incentive awards granted pursuant to the plan. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, 0.2 million RSUs and 0.2 million PSUs were granted.

As of March 31, 2023, there were stock-based compensation awards representing 0.8 million shares outstanding compared to 0.4 million shares outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Stock-based compensation expense was $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings:
We are from time to time party to litigation, legal proceedings and tax examinations arising from our operations. Most of these matters involve allegations of damages against us relating to employment matters, consumer complaints, personal injury and commercial or contractual disputes. We record estimates for claims and proceedings that constitute a present obligation when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of such obligation can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these matters, based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances, we do not believe any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a future period.
As of March 31, 2023, there were no legal proceedings pending other than those for which we have determined that the possibility of a material outflow is remote.

Note 9 – Segment Information
Our Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), has evaluated how he views and measures our performance. In applying the criteria set forth in the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements, we have determined that we have four reportable segments - Reynolds Cooking & Baking, Hefty Waste & Storage, Hefty Tableware and Presto Products. The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization and alignment of our internal operations and the nature of our products. This reflects how our CODM monitors performance, allocates capital and makes strategic and operational decisions. Our segments are described as follows:
Reynolds Cooking & Baking
Our Reynolds Cooking & Baking segment produces branded and store brand aluminum foil, disposable aluminum pans, parchment paper, freezer paper, wax paper, butcher paper, plastic wrap, baking cups, oven bags and slow cooker liners. Our branded products are sold under the Reynolds Wrap, Reynolds KITCHENS and EZ Foil brands in the United States and selected international markets, under the ALCAN brand in Canada and under the Diamond brand outside of North America.
Hefty Waste & Storage
Our Hefty Waste & Storage segment produces both branded and store brand trash and food storage bags. Our branded products are sold under the Hefty Ultra Strong and Hefty Strong brands for trash bags, and as the Hefty and Baggies brands for our food storage bags.
Hefty Tableware
Our Hefty Tableware segment sells both branded and store brand disposable and compostable plates, bowls, platters, cups and cutlery. Our Hefty branded products include dishes and party cups.
Presto Products
Our Presto Products segment primarily sells store brand products in four main categories: food storage bags, trash bags, reusable storage containers and plastic wrap. Our Presto Products segment also includes our specialty business, which serves other consumer products companies by providing Fresh-Lock and Slide-Rite resealable closure systems.
Information by Segment
We present segment adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") as this is the financial measure by which management and our CODM allocate resources and analyze the performance of our reportable segments.
Adjusted EBITDA represents each segment's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and is further adjusted to exclude IPO and separation-related costs.
Total assets by segment are those assets directly associated with the respective operating activities, comprising inventory, property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets. Other assets, such as cash, accounts receivable and intangible assets, are monitored on an entity-wide basis and not included in segment information that is regularly reviewed by our CODM.
Transactions between segments are at negotiated prices.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Our management’s discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Description of the Company and its Business Segments
We are a market-leading consumer products company with a presence in 95% of households across the United States. We produce and sell products across three broad categories: cooking products, waste and storage products and tableware. We sell our products under iconic brands such as Reynolds and Hefty and also under store brands that are strategically important to our customers. Overall, across both our branded and store brand offerings, we hold the #1 or #2 U.S. market share position in the majority of product categories in which we participate. Over 65% of our revenue comes from products that are #1 in their respective categories. We have developed our market-leading position by investing in our product categories and consistently developing innovative products that meet the evolving needs and preferences of the modern consumer.
Our mix of branded and store brand products is a key competitive advantage that aligns our goal of growing the overall product categories with our customers’ goals and positions us as a trusted strategic partner to our retailers. Our Reynolds and Hefty brands have preeminent positions in their categories and carry strong brand recognition in household aisles.
We manage our operations in four operating and reportable segments: Reynolds Cooking & Baking, Hefty Waste & Storage, Hefty Tableware and Presto Products:
Reynolds Cooking & Baking: Through our Reynolds Cooking & Baking segment, we produce branded and store brand aluminum foil, disposable aluminum pans, parchment paper, freezer paper, wax paper, butcher paper, plastic wrap, baking cups, oven bags and slow cooker liners. Our branded products are sold under the Reynolds Wrap, Reynolds KITCHENS and EZ Foil brands in the United States and selected international markets, under the ALCAN brand in Canada and under the Diamond brand outside of North America. With our flagship Reynolds Wrap products, we hold the #1 market position in the U.S. consumer foil market measured by retail sales and volume. We have no significant branded competitor in this market. Reynolds is one of the most recognized household brands in the United States and has been the top trusted brand in the consumer foil market for over 75 years, with greater than 50% market share in most of its categories.
Hefty Waste & Storage: Through our Hefty Waste & Storage segment, we produce both branded and store brand trash and food storage bags. Hefty is a well-recognized leader in the trash bag and food storage bag categories and our private label products offer value to our retail partners. Our branded products are sold under the Hefty Ultra Strong and Hefty Strong brands for trash bags, and as the Hefty and Baggies brands for our food storage bags. We have the #1 branded market share in the U.S. large black trash bag and slider bag segments, and the #2 branded market share in the tall kitchen trash bag segment. Our robust product portfolio in this segment includes a full suite of products, including sustainable solutions such as blue and clear recycling bags, compostable bags, bags made from recycled materials and the Hefty EnergyBag Program.
Hefty Tableware: Through our Hefty Tableware segment, we sell both branded and store brand disposable and compostable plates, bowls, platters, cups and cutlery. Our Hefty branded products include dishes and party cups. Hefty branded party cups are the #1 party cup in America measured by market share. Our branded products use our Hefty brand to represent both quality and great price, and we bring this same quality and value promise to all of our store brands as well. We sell across a broad range of materials and price points in all retail channels, allowing our consumers to select the product that best suits their price, function and aesthetic needs. These materials include sustainable solutions, such as Hefty ECOSAVE™ and Hefty Compostable Printed Paper Plates.
Presto Products: Through our Presto Products segment, we primarily sell store brand products in four main categories: food storage bags, trash bags, reusable storage containers and plastic wrap. Presto Products is a market leader in food storage bags and differentiates itself by providing access to category management, consumer insights, marketing, merchandising and research and development (“R&D”) resources. Our Presto Products segment also includes our specialty business, which serves other consumer products companies by providing Fresh-Lock and Slide-Rite resealable closure systems.

Overview
Total net revenues increased 3% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The revenue increase was primarily due to pricing actions taken in response to increased material and manufacturing costs, partially offset by lower volume.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our earnings declined as anticipated increases in material and manufacturing costs in the Reynolds Cooking & Baking business, as well as higher personnel costs, professional fees and advertising costs, were partially offset by gross profit increases in the rest of our business. In addition, net income was negatively impacted by higher interest costs due to increased interest rates.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we use the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Net Income” and “Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share" ("Adjusted EPS”), which are measures adjusted for the impact of specified items and are not in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude IPO and separation-related costs. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as Net Income and Earnings Per Share calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus IPO and separation-related costs.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. In addition, our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as supplemental measures to evaluate our business’ performance in a way that also considers our ability to generate profit without the impact of certain items. Accordingly, we believe presenting these measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors.
Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of our net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

Components of Change in Net Revenues for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

PriceVolume/MixTotal
Reynolds Cooking & Baking3%3%6%
Hefty Waste & Storage6%(4)%2%
Hefty Tableware13%(6)%7%
Presto Products%2%2%
Total RCP5%(2)%3%

Total Net Revenues. Total net revenues increased by $29 million, or 3%, to $874 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher pricing as a result of pricing actions taken in response to increased material and manufacturing costs, partially offset by lower volume.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $42 million, or 6%, to $719 million. The increase was primarily driven by increases in material and manufacturing costs, partially offset by lower logistics costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $22 million, or 27%, to $105 million, primarily due to higher personnel costs, professional fees and advertising costs.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income, net was $2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to other expense, net of $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change was primarily due to IPO and separation-related costs in the prior year that did not reoccur in the current year.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net increased by $17 million, or 142%, to $29 million. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates.

17


Income Tax Expense. We recognized income tax expense of $6 million on income before income taxes of $23 million (an effective tax rate of 24.9%) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to income tax expense of $16 million on income before income taxes of $68 million (an effective tax rate of 24.3%) for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $30 million, or 27%, to $82 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher material and manufacturing costs, as well as higher selling, general and administrative expenses. This was partially offset by the timing of pricing actions to recover the increased material and manufacturing costs, as well as lower logistics costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operating activities and available borrowings under the Revolving Facility.
The following table discloses our cash flows for the periods presented:

For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20232022
Net cash provided by operating activities$88 $19 
Net cash used in investing activities$(22)$(28)
Net cash used in financing activities$(54)$(54)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$12 $(63)

Cash provided by operating activities
Net cash from operating activities increased by $69 million to $88 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the benefit from working capital initiatives, partially offset by lower net income.
Cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $6 million to $22 million. The decrease was driven primarily by decreased cash outlays for capital expenditures.
Cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities remained flat.
External Debt Facilities
In February 2020, we entered into the External Debt Facilities which consist of a $2,475 million Term Loan Facility and a Revolving Facility that provides for additional borrowing capacity of up to $250 million, reduced by amounts used for letters of credit. In February 2023, we amended the External Debt Facilities ("Amended External Debt Facilities") which replaced the benchmark from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the agreement remained unchanged.
19


As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance under the Term Loan Facility was $2,101 million. As of March 31, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, and we had $7 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.
The borrower under the Amended External Debt Facilities is Reynolds Consumer Products LLC (the “Borrower”). The Revolving Facility includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. In addition, the Amended External Debt Facilities provide that the Borrower has the right at any time, subject to customary conditions, to request incremental term loans or incremental revolving credit commitments in amounts and on terms set forth therein. The lenders under the Amended External Debt Facilities are not under any obligation to provide any such incremental loans or commitments, and any such addition of or increase in loans is subject to certain customary conditions precedent and other provisions.
Interest rate and fees
Borrowings under the Amended External Debt Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% or SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.75%.
During 2020 and 2022, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to fix the LIBOR of our External Debt Facilities. On February 28, 2023, we amended our interest rate swaps to replace the interest rate benchmark from the LIBOR to SOFR. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the interest rate swap agreements remained unchanged, and our election to use practical expedients under ASUs 2020-04 and 2021-01 resulted in no material impacts on the condensed consolidated financial statements. After the amendments, the aggregate notional amount of our interest rate swaps still in effect as of March 31, 2023 was $1,150 million, and the SOFR is fixed at an annual rate of 0.40% to 3.40% (for an annual effective interest rate of 2.15% to 5.15%, including margin). These interest rate swaps hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure resulting from our Term Loan Facility for periods ranging from two to three years.
Prepayments
The Term Loan Facility contains customary mandatory prepayments, including with respect to excess cash flow, asset sale proceeds and proceeds from certain incurrences of indebtedness.
The Borrower may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Term Loan Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to SOFR based loans.
Amortization and maturity
The Term Loan Facility matures in February 2027. The Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments of $6 million, which commenced in June 2020, with the balance payable on maturity. The Revolving Facility matures in February 2025.
Guarantee and security
All obligations under the Amended External Debt Facilities and certain hedge agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the Amended External Debt Facilities or any of its affiliates and certain other persons are unconditionally guaranteed by Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. (“RCPI”), the Borrower (with respect to hedge agreements and cash management arrangements not entered into by the Borrower) and certain of RCPI’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect material wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiaries, with customary exceptions including, among other things, where providing such guarantees is not permitted by law, regulation or contract or would result in material adverse tax consequences.
All obligations under the Amended External Debt Facilities and certain hedge agreements and cash management arrangements provided by any lender party to the Amended External Debt Facilities or any of its affiliates and certain other persons, and the guarantees of such obligations, are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by: (i) a perfected first-priority pledge of all the equity interests of each wholly-owned material restricted subsidiary of RCPI, the Borrower or a subsidiary guarantor, including the equity interests of the Borrower (limited to 65% of voting stock in the case of first-tier non-U.S. subsidiaries of RCPI, the Borrower or any subsidiary guarantor) and (ii) perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all tangible and intangible personal property of RCPI, the Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain other exclusions).
20


Certain covenants and events of default
The Amended External Debt Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of the restricted subsidiaries of RCPI to:
incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;
create or incur liens;
engage in mergers or consolidations;
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets;
pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock;
prepay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness;
make investments, loans and advances;
enter into certain transactions with affiliates;
enter into agreements which limit the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur restrictions on their ability to make distributions; and
enter into amendments to certain indebtedness in a manner materially adverse to the lenders.
The Amended External Debt Facilities contain a springing financial covenant requiring compliance with a ratio of first lien net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, applicable solely to the Revolving Facility. The financial covenant is tested on the last day of any fiscal quarter only if the aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the Revolving Facility and drawn but unreimbursed letters of credit exceed 35% of the total amount of commitments under the Revolving Facility on such day.
If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Amended External Debt Facilities are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Amended External Debt Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by secured creditors.
We are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in our Amended External Debt Facilities.
Accounts Receivable Factoring
Our accounts receivable factoring agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. allows us to sell certain accounts receivable up to $190 million. We had no outstanding balance owed under the factoring arrangement as of March 31, 2023. Transactions under this agreement are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable, and the receivables sold are removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheet at the time of the sales transaction. We classify the proceeds received from the sales of accounts receivable as an operating cash flow in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. We record the discount as other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of income.
Supply Chain Financing
In March 2023, we initiated a voluntary Supply Chain Finance program (the "SCF") with a global financial institution (the "SCF Bank"). Under the SCF, qualifying suppliers may elect to sell their receivables from us to the SCF Bank. These participating suppliers negotiate their receivables sales arrangements directly with the SCF Bank. We are not party to those agreements, nor do we provide any security or other forms of guarantees to the SCF Bank. The participation in the program is at the sole discretion of the supplier, we have no economic interest in a supplier's decision to enter into the agreement and have no direct financial relationship with the SCF Bank, as it relates to the SCF. Once a qualifying supplier elects to participate in the SCF and reaches an agreement with the SCF Bank, they elect which individual invoices they sell to the SCF Bank.
The terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier's participation in the SCF and as such, the SCF has no direct impact on our balance sheets, cash flows, or liquidity. Our payment terms with our suppliers for similar services and materials within individual markets are consistent between suppliers that elect to participate in the SCF and those that do not participate.
21


All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF are recorded within accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the associated payments are included as an operating cash flow in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As of March 31, 2023, there were no obligations outstanding that we have confirmed as valid under the SCF.
Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, a cash dividend of $0.23 per share was declared and paid. On April 27, 2023, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share was declared and is to be paid on May 31, 2023. We expect to continue paying cash dividends on a quarterly basis; however, future dividends are at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, contractual limitations (including under the Term Loan Facility) and other factors.
****
We believe that our projected cash position, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are sufficient to meet debt service, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the foreseeable future. However, we cannot ensure that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our borrowing agreements in amounts sufficient to pay indebtedness or fund other liquidity needs. Actual results of operations will depend on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control as further discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Accounting policies and estimates are considered critical when they require management to make subjective and complex judgments, estimates and assumptions about matters that have a material impact on the presentation of our financial statements and accompanying notes. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In connection with the preparation of this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.08.    Type; Interest Elections.

(1)Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders based upon their Applicable Percentages and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(2)To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing (by hand delivery, fax or other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tif”)) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

(3)Each written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(b)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;


92


(c)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing; and

(d)if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(4)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(5)If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of such Interest Period to a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default exists (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing and (23) unless repaid, each LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09.    Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(1)Unless previously terminated, (i) the Daylight Term Loan Commitments on the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Daylight Term Loans on the Closing Date, (24) the Initial Term Loan Commitments on the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date, (25) the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (26) the Additional Term Loan Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Additional Term Loans of such Class and, if any such Additional Term Loan Commitment is not drawn on the date that such Additional Term Loan Commitment is required to be drawn pursuant to the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment, the undrawn amount thereof shall terminate unless otherwise provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment and (27) the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date specified therefor in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment.

(2)Upon delivering the notice required by Section 2.09(c), Parent or any Revolving Borrower may at any time terminate or from time to time reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (28) neither Parent not any Revolving Borrower shall terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, as applicable, and any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class;



93


provided that, after the establishment of any Additional Revolving Credit Commitment, any such termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.22, 2.23 and/or 9.02, as applicable.

(3)Parent or the applicable Revolving Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Class or Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.09 not later than 1:00 p.m. on or prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or not later than 1:00 p.m., three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, in the case of a termination or reduction involving a prepayment of LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowings (or such later date to which the Administrative Agent may agree)), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders of each applicable Class or Classes of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be irrevocable; provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked or its effectiveness deferred by Parent or the applicable Revolving Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be permanent. Upon any reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Lender of the relevant Class shall be reduced by such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount.

Section 2.10.    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(1)The Term Loan Borrowers jointly and severally hereby unconditionally promise to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Term Lender (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date (each such date being referred to as a “Loan Installment Date”), commencing on the last Business Day of June 2020, in each case in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loans (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.11 and purchases or assignments in accordance with Section 9.05(g) or increased as a result of any increase in the amount of such Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.22(a)) and (29) on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the remainder of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. The Term Loan Borrowers shall repay the Additional Term Loans of any Class in such scheduled amortization installments and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.11 and purchases or assignments in accordance with Section 9.05(g) or increased as a result of any increase in the amount of such Additional Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.22(a)).

(2)The Revolving Borrowers jointly and severally hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Initial Revolving Lender, the then-unpaid principal amount of the Initial Revolving Loans of such Lender on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (30) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Additional Revolving Lender, the then-unpaid principal amount of each Additional Revolving Loan of such Additional Revolving Lender on the Maturity Date applicable thereto. On the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall make payment in full in Cash of all accrued and unpaid fees and all reimbursable expenses and other

94


any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.10 and any Lender’s records, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall govern.

(7)Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Promissory Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Promissory Note payable to such Lender and its registered permitted assigns; it being understood and agreed that such Lender (and/or its applicable permitted assign) shall be required to return such Promissory Note to the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.05(b)(iii) and upon the occurrence of the Termination Date (or as promptly thereafter as practicable). If any Lender loses the original copy of its Promissory Note, it shall execute an affidavit of loss containing a customary indemnification provision that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. The obligation of each Lender to execute an affidavit of loss containing a customary indemnification provision that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower shall survive the Termination Date.

(8)The Term Loan Borrowers jointly and severally hereby unconditionally promise to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Daylight Term Loans to the Daylight Term Lender on the Daylight Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Daylight Term Loans outstanding on such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount, to but excluding the date of such payment.

Section 2.11.    Prepayment of Loans.

(1)Optional Prepayments.

(a)Upon prior notice in accordance with paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section, the Term Loan Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of Term Loans of one or more Classes (such Class or Classes to be selected by the applicable Term Borrower in its sole discretion) and/or Daylight Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to (A) in the case of Initial Term Loans only, Section 2.12(f) and (a) other than with respect to any Daylight Term Loans and to the extent otherwise applicable, Section 2.16). Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the relevant Class.

(b)Upon prior notice in accordance with paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.11, the Revolving Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of Revolving Loans of any Class, including any Additional Revolving Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16). Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii), first, shall be applied ratably to outstanding LC Disbursements and second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Loans, including any Additional Revolving Loans of the relevant Class.

(c)Any Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed in writing) of any prepayment under this Section 2.11(a) (A) in the case of a prepayment of a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (b) in the case of a prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment.

96


refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.01(z) shall, in each case be applied solely to each applicable Class of refinanced or replaced Term Loans), (g) with respect to each Class of Initial Term Loans and Additional Term Loans, all accepted prepayments under Section 2.11(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Initial Term Loans and Additional Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the Borrower, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Initial Term Loans and Additional Term Loans in direct order of maturity), and (h) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. The amount of such mandatory prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Initial Term Loans and Additional Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Loans are ABR Loans or LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans; provided that the amount thereof shall be applied first to ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to the LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16. Any prepayment of Initial Term Loans made on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(iii) as part of a Repricing Transaction shall be accompanied by the fee set forth in Section 2.12(f).

(vii) In the event that the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Revolving Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans and/or reduce LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Revolving Credit Exposure as of the date of such payment to an amount not to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect by taking any of the following actions as it shall determine at its sole discretion: (A) prepaying Revolving Loans or (i) with respect to any excess LC Exposure, depositing Cash in the LC Collateral Account or “backstopping” or replacing the relevant Letters of Credit, in each case, in an amount equal to 100% of such excess LC Exposure (minus any amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account).

(h)Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.11, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.11(b) prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder with the Administrative Agent until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from Parent or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.11(b). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from Parent or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with this Section 2.11(b).

(i)At the time of each prepayment required under Section 2.11(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of Parent setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided, however, that in the case of any prepayment that may be declined at the option of any Lender, Parent shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such prepayment not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the date of the prepayment. Each such certificate shall specify the Borrowings being prepaid and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion

103


thereof) to be prepaid. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.13. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.11(b) shall be subject to Section 2.16 and, except as set forth in the last sentence of clause (vi) above, shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

Section 2.12.    Fees.

(1)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Commitment Fee Rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class on the average daily amount of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the quarterly period then ended (commencing on the last Business Day of March 2020, but in the case of the payment made on such date, for the period from the Closing Date to such date) and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate.

(2)The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class (other than any Defaulting Lender) a participation fee with respect to its participation in each Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to LIBO RateTerm SOFR Revolving Loans on the daily face amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class in respect of such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure related to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class in respect of such Letter of Credit (including any such LC Exposure that may exist following the termination of such Revolving Credit Commitments) and (34) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (or if terminated on an earlier date, to the termination date of such Letter of Credit), computed at a rate equal to the rate agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower (but in any event not to exceed 0.125% per annum) of the daily face amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing Bank’s reasonable and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued to but excluding the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December shall be payable in arrears for the quarterly period then ended (or, in the case of the payment made on the last Business Day of March 2020, for the period from the Closing Date to such date) on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of a written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation) therefor.

(3)[Reserved].

104



(d)     The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing.
(e)     All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter. Fees payable hereunder shall accrue through and including the last day of the month immediately preceding the applicable fee payment date.
(f)     In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Borrower (x) prepays, repays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Initial Term Loans as part of a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction) or (y) effects any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent under, this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Initial Term Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. If, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Initial Term Loans held by any Term Lender are prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(b)(iv) as a result of, or in connection with, such Term Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent, modification or amendment referred to in clause (y) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such prepayment, repayment, refinancing, substitution or replacement will be made at 101% of the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced. All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(g)     Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the amount of any fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.13.     Interest.
(a)     The Loans (other than any Daylight Term Loans) comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)     The Loans (other than any Daylight Term Loans) comprising each LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c)     The Daylight Term Loans shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for an Interest Period of one month, determined as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date[Reserved].
(d)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the existence and continuance of any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any LC



105


Disbursement or any fee payable by the Borrower hereunder is not, in each case, paid or reimbursed when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the relevant overdue amount shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal or interest of any Loan or unreimbursed LC Disbursement, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or LC Disbursement as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.13 or Section 2.05(h) or (35) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.13; provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(d) to any Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender; provided further that no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.13(d) on any overdue amount, reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(e)     Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Maturity Date applicable to such Loan or, in the case of any Revolving Loan, upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class, as applicable; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (36) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the termination of the relevant revolving Commitments), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (37) in the event of any conversion of any LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Initial Term Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Accrued interest for any Class of Additional Loans shall be payable as set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension Amendment.

(f)     All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed for ABR Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Interest shall accrue on each Loan from the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

Section 2.14.    Alternate Rate of Interest.

(1)If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing:

(a)the Administrative Agent (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR (including because a Screenthe Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(b)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that that the LIBO Rate for the applicable currencyAdjusted Term SOFR and/or such Interest Period will not


106


adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to Parent and the Lenders by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Parent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO RateTerm SOFR Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended; provided, however, (x) that, that, in each case, Parent may revoke any Borrowing Request that is pending when such notice is received and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only Borrowings in certain currencies, then LIBO Rate Borrowings in unaffected currencies shall be permitted to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement.
(b)     If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) in consultation with Parent that either (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2.14 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2.14 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (in the case of either such clause (i) or (ii), an “Alternative Interest Rate Election Event”), the Administrative Agent and Parent shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for leveraged syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest (the “Successor Rate”) and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, as mutually determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent and Parent (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction to the Applicable Rate). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. To the extent an alternate rate of interest is adopted as contemplated hereby, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with prevailing market convention; provided, that, to the extent such prevailing market convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise mutually determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent and Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Successor Rate has not otherwise been established pursuant to this clause (b), after Parent and the Administrative Agent have reached such a determination, Parent and the Required Lenders may select a different alternate rate as long as it is reasonably practicable for the Administrative Agent to administer such different rate and, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and Parent shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b), (x) any request by Parent for a LIBO Rate Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing, (y) any Interest Election


107


Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and (z) any affected Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace Adjusted Term SOFR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to (x) a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” will be effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis. No replacement of Adjusted Term SOFR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.14 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(c)     In connection with the use or administration of Adjusted Term SOFR or the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time with the prior written consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(d)     The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.
(e)     Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, (x) the component of ABR based upon Adjusted Term SOFR will not be used in any determination of ABR, (y) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (z) any affected Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
(f)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current



108


Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

Section 2.15.    Increased Costs.

(1)If any Change in Law:

(a)imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank;

(b)imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans made by any Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(c)subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the relevant Lender of making or maintaining any LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loan or Letter of Credit in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after Parent’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (except that this provision shall not apply to any Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.17); provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law is publicly announced or occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) such Lender invokes Section 2.20 or (z) in the case of any request for reimbursement under clause (ii) above resulting from a market disruption, (A) the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the banking market or (a) the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders.


109


(2)If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.17 (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then within 30 days of receipt by Parent of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(3)Any Lender or Issuing Bank requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to Parent that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (38) sets forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (39) certifies that such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)     Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16.     Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) (a) the conversion or prepayment of any principal of any LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), (b) (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (c) (c) the assignment of any LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender that is attributable to such event (other than loss of profit). In the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, the loss, cost or expense of any Lender shall be the amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan) over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market; it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall in any case exclude any interest rate floor and all


110


administrative, processing or similar fees. Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Parent (i) setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (ii) certifying that such Lender is generally charging the relevant amounts to similarly situated borrowers , which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17.    Taxes.

(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent). If any applicable Requirement of Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17(a)) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (as applicable) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (40) such Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (41) such Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(b)In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(c)Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank within 30 days after receipt of the certificate described in the succeeding sentence, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or any payment on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17(c) but excluding any penalties or interest resulting from any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)     Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent that no Loan Party has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (42) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (43) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each

Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Loans and sub-participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders of such Class at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (44) the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any permitted assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.22, 2.23, 9.02(b) and/or Section 9.05. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.18(c) and will, in each case, notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
(d)     Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from Parent or the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or Section 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(1)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or such Lender determines it can no longer make or maintain LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable



116


efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.20, as the case may be, and (45) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(2)If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or such Lender determines it can no longer make or maintain LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, (46) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (47) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (48) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender or Required Revolving Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender is a non-consenting Lender (each such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then Parent may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments and/or Additional Commitments of such Lender, and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date under one or more Credit Facilities or Additional Credit Facilities as Parent may elect or (y) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements, of such Class of Loans, Commitments and/or Additional Commitments, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder with respect to such Class of Loans, Commitments and/or Additional Commitments, (b) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (c) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. No action by or consent of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of the amounts described in clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence. No Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Borrower may not repay the Obligations of such Lender or terminate its Commitments or Additional Commitments, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption (provided that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19 to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment)


117


invalid), such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (b). To the extent that any Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(b)(iv) in connection with a Repricing Transaction requiring payment of a fee pursuant to Section 2.12(f), the Borrower shall pay to each Lender being replaced as a result of such Repricing Transaction the fee set forth in Section 2.12(f).

Section 2.20.    Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Published LIBO Rate,Term SOFR or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Published LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable interbank marketTerm SOFR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans in Dollars or to convert ABR Loans to LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans shall be suspended and (49) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Published LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Published LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all of such Lender’s LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Published LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate) either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans (in which case the Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with such payment) and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Published LIBO RateTerm SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Published LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Published LIBO RateTerm SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.21.     Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

118


made a part of, such Revolving Facility) (it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Facility, the Borrower may increase the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, and undrawn fees on the applicable Revolving Facility being increased for all lenders under such Revolving Facility, but additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders participating in such Incremental Revolving Facility without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Revolving Lenders) or (ii) mature no earlier than, and require no scheduled mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the maturity of the Initial Revolving Facility and all other material terms (other than pricing, maturity, upfront, arrangement, structuring, underwriting, ticking, consent, amendment and other fees, participation in mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions and immaterial terms, which shall be determined by Parent) shall (x) be substantially identical to the Initial Revolving Facility, (y) reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by Parent in good faith) at the time of incurrence or issuance (or the obtaining of a commitment with respect thereto) or (z) be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that if any financial maintenance covenant or other more favorable provision is added for the benefit of any Incremental Revolving Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant or other provision is (1) also added for the benefit of any then-existing Revolving Facility or (2) only applicable after the latest maturity of any then-existing Revolving Facility),

(5)the Effective Yield (and the components thereof) applicable to any Incremental Facility may be determined by Parent and the lender or lenders providing such Incremental Facility; provided that, in the case of any broadly syndicated Dollar-denominated Incremental Term Facility that is (x) originally incurred in reliance on clause (e) of the definition of “Incremental Cap” (but not any reclassification pursuant to clause (3) of the proviso therein) and (y) scheduled to mature prior to the date that is one year after the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the Effective Yield applicable thereto may not be more than 0.75% higher than the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans unless the Applicable Rate (and/or, as provided in the proviso below, the Alternate Base Rate floor or LIBO Ratethe Adjusted Term SOFR floor) with respect to the Initial Term Loans is adjusted such that the Effective Yield on the Initial Term Loans is not more than 0.75% per annum less than the Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Facility; provided further that any increase in Effective Yield applicable to any Initial Term Loan due to the application or imposition of an Alternate Base Rate floor or LIBO Ratethe Adjusted Term SOFR floor on any Incremental Term Loan may, at the election of Parent, be effected through an increase in the Alternate Base Rate floor or LIBO Ratethe Adjusted Term SOFR floor applicable to such Initial Term Loans or an increase in the interest rate margin applicable to such Incremental Loans; provided further that the MFN Provision (1) shall not apply to Incremental Term Facilities having an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the greater of $325,000,000 and 50% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period, (2) shall not apply to Incremental Term Facilities incurred more than six months after the Closing Date, (3) shall not apply to Incremental Term Facilities incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment, (4) shall not apply to Customary Term A Loans and (5) shall not apply to customary bridge loans with a maturity date of not longer than one year that are convertible or exchangeable into, or are intended to be refinanced with, any Indebtedness other than term loans that are pari passu with the Initial Term Loans in right or payment and with respect to security (this clause (v), the “MFN Provision”),

122


(6)Effective on the date of effectiveness of each Incremental Revolving Facility, the maximum amount of LC Exposure permitted hereunder shall increase by the amount, if any, agreed upon by Administrative Agent, Parent and the relevant Issuing Banks.

(7)The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new or any increase in any Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Parent in connection with the establishment or increase, as applicable, of such Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.22.

(8)To the extent the provisions of clause (a)(xv) above require that Term Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding borrowings of LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans of the respective Class of Initial Term Loans or Additional Term Loans, as applicable, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding LIBO RateTerm SOFR Loans of the respective Class and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period).

(9)This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.18 or 9.02 to the contrary.

Section 2.23.    Extensions of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.

(1)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders holding Loans of any Class or Commitments of any Class, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans or Commitments of such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted from time to time to consummate transactions with any individual Lender who accepts the terms contained in the relevant Extension Offer to extend the Maturity Date of all or a portion of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class and otherwise modify the terms of all or a portion of such Loans and/or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans and/or Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule, if any, in respect of such Loans) (each, an “Extension”); it being understood that any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Class of Loans from which they were converted and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted, so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(a)except as to (x) interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall, subject to the succeeding clause (iii)(y), be determined by Parent and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), (y) terms applicable to such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents on or prior to the effectiveness of such Extension for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders or, as applicable, the Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment and (z) any terms or

MASTER SUPPLY AGREEMENT (the Agreement”) dated November 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) between REYNOLDS CONSUMER PRODUCTS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its headquarters at 1900 West Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045 (“Seller”), and PACTIV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its headquarters at 1900 West Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045 (“Buyer”). Seller and Buyer are referred to individually at times as a “Party” and collectively at times as the Parties”.

BACKGROUND

A.    Seller sells various types of products used in the consumer and food service markets.

B.    Buyer sells various types of products, including certain products of the type made by Seller, to its customers.

C.    The Parties are entering into this Agreement to establish the terms and conditions under which Seller may agree to sell specific products to Buyer, and Buyer may agree to purchase specific products from Seller for later resale by Buyer to its business customers.

AGREEMENT

1.    Term. The Termof this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will end on the earlier of: (a) the first anniversary of the expiration date of the last Purchase Schedule (as defined in this next Section); (b) a termination date elected by a Party in a written notice delivered to the other Party any time after the expiration of the last Purchase Schedule; or (c) a termination date elected by a Party in a written notice delivered to the other Party as provided in Subsection 11(d) of this Agreement. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement with respect to any (i) products purchased and sold under this Agreement during the Term and products sold after the Term for orders accepted during the Term; (ii) Confidential Information (as defined in Section 10 of this Agreement) disclosed or received by a Party during the Term; (iii) breach of this Agreement by a Party; (iv) any other statement, decision, act or omission of a Party concerning or related to this Agreement; (v) any Dispute (as defined in Section 11 of this Agreement) between the Parties concerning or related to this Agreement; (vi) products and other materials manufactured or maintained by Seller in inventory for sale to Buyer that Buyer is obligated to purchase under a Purchase Schedule; and (vii) any provision that expressly states that it will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

2.    Scope. This Agreement will apply to all products sold by Seller to Buyer, and all products purchased by Buyer from Seller, during the Term unless the Parties expressly agree that this Agreement will not apply to a particular type of transaction in a separate written document signed by an officer of each Party. This Agreement will not require Seller to sell any type or quantity of a product to Buyer, nor will this Agreement required Buyer to purchase any type or quantity of a product from Seller, except as expressly provided by the Parties in a Purchase Schedule. The phrase “Purchase Schedule” will mean a written supplement to this Agreement signed by an officer of each Party which references this Agreement and which identities, among other terms and conditions, the specific types and quantities of products that will be purchased and sold by the Parties on terms and conditions in the schedule, the specifications for the identified products, the duration of the commitment period during which the Parties will be obligated to purchase and sell the identified products on the terms and conditions in the schedule, the prices of the identified products, any mechanisms for adjusting the prices of the identified products over the commitment period, and the facilities at which the identified products will be manufactured, stored and delivered by Seller. The Parties may add terms and conditions to, and amend the terms and conditions of, this Agreement in a Purchase Schedule, but any additional and amended terms and conditions in a Purchase Schedule supplementing and modifying this Agreement will only apply the specific products identified in that Purchase Schedule for its duration.

3.    Standard Operating Procedures. Over approximately the past eight years, the Parties have been supplying select Products to one another for use in the operation of their respective businesses within the United States of America, Canada and Mexico. The Parties developed and been following certain standard operating procedures in connecting with, among other topics, forecasting, production planning, ordering, delivering and resolving claims on the Products supplied to one another (the “Current SOPs”).



The Parties will be updating their respective business systems over the next six months, and the updates to these business systems will require the Parties to modify the Current SOPs. Once the Parties have completed the updates to the business systems and agreed on the necessary modifications to the Current SOPs, the Parties will sign a written amendment to this Agreement appending the updated standard operating procedures (the “Updated SOPs”). Until the Parties have signed a written amendment appending the Updated SOPs, the parties will continue to follow the Current SOPs. The Parties will comply with the applicable SOPs in connection with the purchase and sale of products identified in a Purchase Schedule. The Parties may add terms and conditions to, and amend the terms and conditions of, the SOP in a Purchase Schedule, but any additional and amended terms and conditions in a Purchase Schedule supplementing and modifying the SOP will only apply the specific products identified in that Purchase Schedule for its duration.

4.    Order and Priority of Interpretation. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between two or more provisions in this Agreement, including the provisions in its Exhibits and Purchase Schedules, the provisions in the documents will govern, supersede and control over one another in the following order of priority: (1st) a Purchase Schedule with regards to the purchase and sale of the specific products identified in that Purchase Schedule for its duration; (2nd) the SOP; (3rd) any Exhibit to this Agreement but only with regards to specific subject matter of the Exhibit; and (4th) the main body of this Agreement prior to the signature page.

5.    General Representations, Warranties and Covenants. A Party represents, warrant and covenants on the Effective Date and at all times during the Term that:

1.The Party is formed, registered, licensed and operating its business in compliance with the laws of the United States of America, its states and territories, and any districts, municipalities and other political subdivisions of the foregoing (“Applicable Laws”).

2.The Party is operating its business in compliance with a commercially reasonable code of ethics adopted by such Party.

3.The Party may enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement without being in conflict with, or in breach of, any other agreement of the Party.

4.The Party is solvent, is capable of paying its debts as and when they become due and is paying its debts as and when due.

5.The Party is not the subject of a criminal investigation nor a defendant in any criminal indictment, petition, complaint or proceeding that carries a potential sentence involving incarceration in excess of one year for any director or executive officer of the Party involved in the alleged criminal misconduct or a fine in excess of $100,000 USD.

A Party will promptly notify the other Party of any change in circumstance during the Term in which the Party is no longer in compliance with the foregoing general representations, warranties and covenants. An incident of actual, alleged or suspected non-compliance by a Party with a warranty under this Section being investigated, contested or corrected in good faith by the Party and which, regardless of outcome, will have no material adverse effect on the Party or its performance under this Agreement or on the other Party, will not be considered a breach of this clause. An incident of actual, alleged or suspected non-compliance by a Party of this Section or any other Section of this Agreement will be grounds for the other Party to demand adequate assurances of performance as provided by Section 2-609 of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code. A Party will have ten (10) days to provide adequate assurances of performance to the other Party in a form acceptable to the other Party in its good faith discretion.

1.Be in new, undamaged and unadulterated condition free of any defects in design, materials and manufacture.

8.Comply with any additional representations and warranties of Seller regarding the product in the applicable Purchase Schedule.

If a Buyer receives a product that fails to conform to these representations and warranties, the sole remedies of Buyer for the breach of warranty will be to: (1) reject and return the non-conforming product to Seller for a refund or credit, or a replacement conforming product, in the manner and time period provided in the SOP; (2) obtain reimbursement from Seller for actual, reasonable, substantiated out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in the recovery, return or disposal of a non-conforming product that is the subject of a mandatory product recall required under Applicable Laws or a voluntary withdrawal declared by Seller or approved by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (3) obtain indemnification from Seller for any Indemnified Claim arising from or related to the nonconforming product as provided in Section 7.

7.The Parties may disagree on whether a claim is an Indemnified Claim under this Agreement, which Party should be considered the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party for an Indemnified Claim or whether each Party is partially liable for an Indemnified Claim and how liability for such an Indemnified Claim should be allocated between them. In these and other circumstances in which an actual or potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the Parties with regards to an alleged or agreed upon Indemnified Claim that would preclude their joint representation by a single defense counsel, the Parties will endeavor in good faith to attempt to resolve the conflict. If the Parties are able to resolve the actual or potential conflict of interest, the Parties will memorialize the agreed upon resolution in a written joint defense agreement signed by officers of each Party and their joint defense counsel. If the Parties are unable to resolve the actual or potential conflict of interest, each Party may independently and separately investigate, defend, settle and satisfy the claim subject to their right to pursue payment or reimbursement for costs incurred in doing so from the other Party as provided in this Agreement.

A Party will not be considered in breach of this Agreement or liable to the other Party for any interruption or delay in performance under this Agreement to the extent caused by an event outside of the ability of the performing Party to foresee and avoid with the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts (such an event is referred to at times as an event of Force Majeure”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party will only be excused for an interruption or delay in performance under this Subsection for an event of Force Majeure only if the Party (1) promptly notifies the other Party of the event of Force Majeure and provides information reasonably requested by the other Party regarding the event of Force Majeure, the efforts undertaken by the Party to foresee and avoid interruption or delay in its performance before the occurrence of the event, to mitigate interruption or delay in performance during the event, and to recover from and restore performance following the event; and (2) the Party exercises commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, recover from and restore performance following the event of Force Majeure. During, and while recovering from and restoring performance following, an event of Force Majeure, Seller will act in good faith in allocating its available manufacturing capacity to supply products to Buyer under this Agreement and any products to other customers of Seller. If an event of Force Majeure interrupts or delays Seller from supplying a product to Buyer under this Agreement in the quantities and timetable required by Buyer, Buyer may cancel any unfilled orders for the product with Seller and procure the required quantities of the product from one or more other sources until Seller has recovered from and restored its ability to perform following the event of Force Majeure. If the interruption or delay in the supply of a product to Buyer under this Agreement caused by an event of Force Majeure has exceeded, or is reasonably likely to exceed, thirty (30) days, Buyer may enter into longer term supply agreements or make other arrangements to procure the required quantities of the product from one or more other sources for a duration and on terms acceptable to Buyer in its good faith discretion. In such a circumstance, Buyer will not have to resume purchasing the product from Seller under this Agreement until Seller has recovered from and restored its ability to perform following the event of Force Majeure and the longer term agreements or other arrangements have expired or Buyer is able to end them without liability. This Subsection will not excuse nor extend a deadline by which a Party must pay an amount owed under this Agreement or Applicable Law or by which a Party must exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or Applicable Law.

A Receiving Party will take all commercially reasonable actions required to safeguard the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party in the possession of such Receiving Party against the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information by other persons. A Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party if the Receiving Party learns of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by any person. A Receiving Party will cooperate in good faith with the Disclosing Party to prevent any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by any person.

6.A Receiving Party will not disclose nor use the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party except as follows:

(1)A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party on a “need to know” basis to the Representatives of the Receiving Party who require such information for the Authorized Purpose and in order for the Receiving Party and its Affiliates to comply with Applicable Laws, accounting standards and securities exchange requirements. Before making such a disclosure, the Receiving Party will advise the Representatives of the



confidential nature of the information being shared and ensure that duties and restrictions are, or have been, imposed on the Representatives receiving the Confidential Information similar to those imposed on the Receiving Party under this Agreement. A Receiving Party will be liable for any breach of this Agreement by its Representatives. An Affiliateof a Party means a legal entity that owns and controls, or is owned and controlled by, or is under common ownership and control with, a Party (other than the other Party or any of its direct and indirect subsidiaries), with ownership and control of a legal entity being determined by the ownership of the majority voting interest in the legal entity. A Representativemeans the Affiliates of a Party and the directors, officers, managers, employees, accountants, attorneys, auditors and other agents and consultants of a Party and its Affiliates.

(2)A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party to a court, governmental entity or any other person in order for the Receiving Party and its Affiliates to comply with Applicable Laws, accounting standards and securities exchange requirements. If legally permissible and reasonably possible, a Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party prior to disclosing its Confidential Information pursuant to this Section and cooperate in good faith with any lawful efforts by the Disclosing Party to avoid or limit the disclosure of its Confidential Information. A Receiving Party will not be obligated to incur any liability, expense or risk in extending such cooperation to a Disclosing Party. Based on legal advice of its attorney, a Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by any deadline established under an Applicable Law, accounting standard and securities exchange requirement.

(3)A Receiving Party may disclose and use the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any other agreement with the Disclosing Party in any arbitration, court or other legal proceeding. A Receiving Party may disclose and use this Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party to defend the Receiving Party or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives in any arbitration, court or other legal proceeding. In either circumstance, the Receiving Party will ensure that a protective order, agreement or other mechanism is in place to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

(4)A Receiving Party and its Representatives may disclose and use the Confidential Information for any other purpose consented to by a Disclosing Party in a written notice signed by an officer of the Disclosing Party delivered to the Receiving Party.

7.In disclosing its Confidential Information to a Receiving Party, a Disclosing Party represents, warrants and covenants to the Receiving Party that:

(1)The Disclosing Party owns and has the right to disclose and authorize the use of Confidential Information as provided in this Agreement.

(2)The Receiving Party and its Representatives may use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for the Authorized Purpose and other limited purposes provided in this Agreement.

(3)The Disclosing Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Receiving Party and its Representatives against any claim of a third-party that the disclosure and use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as provided in this Agreement infringes on a patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property of the third-party registered in or otherwise recognized and enforceable under Applicable Laws.

Except for the limited representations and warranties in this Section, a Disclosing Party disclaims all other representations and warranties of any kind related to its Confidential Information, whether express, implied or arising by operation of law, including the disclaimer, without limitation, of any representation and warranties concerning merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, truth, accuracy or completeness.

8.The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Section with regards to disclosed Confidential Information will continue:

(1)Until the earlier of (i) sixty (60) months from the date of disclosure to a Receiving Party or (ii) the date such information ceases to be considered Confidential Information under this



Agreement, for Confidential Information that is not a trade secret of a Disclosing Party under Applicable Law; and

(2)Until Confidential Information that is a trade secret of a Disclosing Party under Applicable Law ceases to be a trade secret of the Disclosing Party under Applicable Law.

9.A Receiving Party will return or destroy all forms of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the custody of the Receiving Party and its Representatives within ten (10) days of receipt of a written request from the Disclosing Party and after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. This will include, without limitation, all copies, records, documents and other information representing, comprising, containing, referencing or created based on Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party and its Representatives may retain copies of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which (x) the Receiving Party and its Representatives are required to retain to comply with Applicable Laws, accounting standards and security exchange requirements (but only for the duration and in the manner so required for this limited purpose); or (y) have been archived in electronic form by the Receiving Party and its Representatives and which would be unduly burdensome for the Receiving Party and its Representatives to have to search for and delete the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

10.Except for the limited right to disclose and use Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party for the Authorized Purpose and other purposes provided in the this Section and except for any license of intellectual property granted by a Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party in a Purchase Schedule, this Agreement does not grant a Receiving Party or its Representatives any right, title, interest or ownership in the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party nor in any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property of the Disclosing Party.

11.    Dispute Resolution.

1.Negotiation. If a Party believes that the other Party has breached this Agreement or if there is a dispute between the Parties over the interpretation of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), the Parties will endeavor to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days after a Party notifies the other Party of the Dispute and before either Party requests mediation or files litigation to resolve the Dispute.

2.Mediation. If the Parties have been unable to resolve a Dispute through good faith negotiation as provided in the prior Subsection, a Party may request that the Parties attempt to resolve the Dispute through mediation by notifying the other Party with a copy to JAMS. The Parties will attempt to select a mutually acceptable JAMS mediator within ten (10) days of the notice requesting mediation. The mediation will be held in Lake County or Cook County, Illinois within thirty (30) days of the notice requesting mediation before a JAMS mediator and in compliance with JAMS mediation guidelines. Each party will bear its own costs in preparing for and participating in the mediation and one-half of the fees and expenses charged by JAMS for conducting the mediation.

3.Litigation. If the Parties have been unable to resolve a Dispute through mediation as provided in the prior Subsection, a Party may file litigation against the other Party in a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America. With respect to litigation involving only the Parties or their Affiliates, the Parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the U.S. federal and Illinois state courts of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in Lake County, Illinois or Cook County, Illinois and their respective higher courts of appeal for the limited purpose of resolving a Dispute, and the Parties waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defense of inconvenient forum. The Parties waive any right to trial by jury as to any Disputes resolved through litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may file litigation to resolve a Dispute without undergoing either negotiation or mediation as provided in the prior Subsections for any Dispute involving: (i) infringement on intellectual property; (ii) the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information; or (iii) a request for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or any other type of equitable relief.




4.Remedies. Except as expressly limited in the preceding Subsections and the other provisions in this Agreement, a Party may immediately exercise any rights and remedies available to the Party under Applicable Law upon a breach of this Agreement by the other Party. A Party will not suspend performance under or terminate this Agreement or any accepted purchase order for a product being purchased and sold under this Agreement unless: (1) the other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and has either refused to cure the material breach or has failed to cure the material breach within thirty (30) day of its receipt of written notice of the failure; and (2) the Parties have been unable to resolve the Dispute related to the material breach through negotiation or mediation, or the breaching Party has refused or failed to attempt to resolve the Dispute through negotiation or mediation, as provided in this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may suspend performance or terminate this Agreement or any accepted purchase order for a product being purchase and sold under this Agreement immediately on written notice to the other Party, and without providing the other Party an opportunity to cure the material breach or attempting to resolve a Dispute over the material breach by negotiation or mediation as provided in this Section, for a material breach by the other Party involving substantial harm to the reputation, goodwill and business of the non-breaching Party that cannot reasonably be avoided or fully redressed by providing the other Party an opportunity to cure the material breach.

5.Late Fees and Collection Costs. If Buyer fails to pay Seller an amount owed under this Agreement by the invoice due date, then Buyer will owe Seller: (i) the delinquent amount; and (ii) a late payment fee equal to two percent (2%) of the delinquent amount for each full or partial calendar month past the invoice due date that the delinquent amount remains unpaid. In addition, if Seller has to file litigation to collect the amount owed and Seller prevails in the litigation, Buyer will reimburse Seller for actual, reasonable, substantiated out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in collecting the delinquent amount and accrued late payment fees on the delinquent amount. Under no circumstance will the late payment fee payable to Seller exceed the amount that a creditor may lawfully impose on a debtor on a delinquent amount under Applicable Law.

12.    Miscellaneous.

1.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its appended Exhibits and Purchase Schedules entered into during the Term, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the sale of products by Seller to Buyer and the purchase of products by Buyer from Seller. This Agreement supersedes all prior and simultaneous representations, discussions, negotiations, letters, proposals, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to this subject matter. This Agreement will not be binding on either Party unless and until signed by the chief executive officers of each Party. No handwritten or other addition, deletion or other modification to the printed portions of this Agreement will be binding upon either Party to this Agreement.

This Section does not prevent the reliance on the descriptive information in transaction documents identifying the ordered Products (e.g., the type and quantity of ordered products and scheduled date and location for delivery). No amendment of this Agreement will be valid or effective unless made in writing and signed and exchanged by the chief executive officers of the Parties. A Party may approve or reject a request for an amendment in its sole and absolute discretion.

3.Waiver. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to take advantage of any of its rights shall not operate as a continuing waiver of such rights. No right or obligation under this Agreement will be considered to have been waived by a Party unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by an officer of the waiving Party and delivered to the other Party. No consent to or waiver of a breach by either Party will constitute a consent to, waiver of, or excuse for any other, different, or subsequent breach by such Party.

4.Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of Illinois and the United States of America, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws.

6.Assignment. This Agreement, its rights and obligations, is not assignable or transferable by either Party, in whole or in part, except with the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may transfer and assign this Agreement to any of its affiliates or in connection with any merger, consolidation or sale of assets without the other Party’s prior consent provided (a) that any such assignment will not result in the assigning Party being released or discharged from any liability under this Agreement, and (b) the purchaser/assignee will expressly assume all obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement. The assigning Party will provide the other Party with written notice of such assignment prior to or promptly following the effective date of such assignment. A change of control shall be deemed an assignment requiring consent hereunder provided that any transfer or assignment that results in Seller’s and Buyer’s current common parent, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited, ceasing to control either party shall not require consent of the other party. The restrictions in this Section will not preclude a Party for authorizing an Affiliate to purchase or sell a product on behalf of a Party under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assignees of the respective Parties.

7.Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided in a Purchase Schedule, there are no intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

4.    Quantities. Notwithstanding anything in this Purchase Schedule or the balance of the Agreement to the contrary:

1.Seller may decline to sell an ordered quantity of a Product to Buyer in the following circumstances without being in breach of this Agreement:




(1)Seller is unable to sell the ordered quantity a Product in compliance with this Agreement by the delivery date required by Buyer in its purchase order because of an event of Force Majeure (provided Seller has complied with Subsection 9(c) of the Agreement).

(2)Seller is unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product because: (i) Buyer is delinquent in paying amounts owed Seller under the Agreement more than twice in any trailing twelve month period for periods in excess of ten (10) days following written notice; (ii) the amount payable for the ordered quantity of Product and all other ordered but unpaid quantities of Product exceed the then current credit limit of Buyer with Seller (which credit limit shall have been communicated to Buyer); or (iii) Buyer is otherwise in material breach of the Agreement beyond any required or permitted notice and cure period. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller will not suspend supplying Products to Buyer for a delinquent amount or material breach being disputed in good faith by Buyer unless (a) the Parties have completed at least the negotiation and mediation steps in the Dispute resolution process in Section 11 of the Agreement; or (b) Buyer has failed to provide adequate assurances of payment and performance requested by Seller as provided in Section 5 of the Agreement.

(3)Seller is unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product because the ordered quantity was not ordered in accordance with the SOP.

(4)Seller is unable or unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product in a calendar month because Seller has already accepted orders for or filled the Maximum Monthly Order Quantity of all Products in the same Product Category in the calendar month. Attachment 2 lists the Maximum Monthly Order Quantity of each Product Category.

(5)Seller is unable or unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product during any period that the Product is the subject of: (i) a product recall required by Applicable Laws; or (ii) a voluntary withdrawal declared or approved by Seller. In any of the foregoing circumstances, however, the Parties will work together in good faith and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resume the purchase and sale of the Product after adequate assurances of performance have been provided by the responsible Party that the actual or alleged design or manufacturing defect, infringing element or other issue that gave rise to the product recall or voluntary withdrawal has been corrected. This Subsection will not relieve Seller of liability to Buyer for a product recall or voluntary withdrawal is caused by a breach of this Agreement by Seller.

2.Buyer and its Affiliates may self-manufacture or purchase an ordered quantity of a Product from a source other than Seller in the following circumstances without Buyer being considered in breach of this Agreement:

(1)Seller is unable to sell the ordered quantity a Product in compliance with this Agreement by the delivery date required by Buyer in its purchase order because of an event of Force Majeure.

(2)Buyer is unwilling to purchase the ordered quantity of a Product from Seller because Seller is in material breach of the Agreement beyond any required or permitted notice and cure period.

(3)Seller declines or fails to supply the ordered quantity to Buyer in breach of the Agreement.

(4)Buyer is unable or unwilling to purchase the ordered quantity of a Product during any period that the Product is the subject of: (i) a product recall required by Applicable Laws; or (ii) a voluntary withdrawal declared or approved by Seller. In any of the foregoing circumstances, however, the Parties will work together in good faith and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resume the purchase and sale of the Product after adequate assurances of performance have been provided by the responsible Party that the actual or alleged design or manufacturing defect, infringing element or other issue that gave rise to the product recall or voluntary withdrawal has been corrected. This Subsection will not relieve Buyer of liability to Seller for a product recall or voluntary withdrawal is caused by a breach of this Agreement by Buyer.

(5)A customer of Buyer requires Buyer either to self-manufacture the ordered quantity of Product, or to purchase the ordered quantity of Product from a source other than Seller, for



sale by Buyer to the customer. Buyer will act in good faith and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to persuade its customers to accept Products manufactured by Seller.

(6)Seller is unable or unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product in a calendar month because Seller has already accepted orders for or filled the Maximum Monthly Order Quantity of all Products in the same Product Category in the calendar month.

(7)Buyer has elected to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source a Monthly Deficient Quantity of Products in a Product Category as provided in the next Section.

5.    Case-Fill Standard.

1.Seller will calculate and report the Case Fill Rate in each Product Category to Buyer within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month. The “Case Fill Rate” will mean the percentage of ordered cases of Products in a Product Category required to be filled in a calendar month that Seller actually fills in the calendar month. In calculating the Case Fill Rate of a Product Category, Seller will exclude the following orders:

(1)Orders that Seller declines to accept, or that Seller is otherwise unwilling or unable to fill, for any reason provided in Subsection 4(a) of this Purchase Schedule.

(2)Orders received by Seller less than the minimum order lead time in advance of the requested shipment or delivery date.

(3)Orders on which Buyer requests a change less than three (3) days in advance of the requested shipment or delivery date.

(4)Orders on which a Product is not filled at the direction of Buyer or its customer.

(5)Orders cancelled by Buyer or its customer.

(6)Orders for discontinued Products.

(7)Orders for Products manufactured at the direction of Buyer for an agreed limited quantity after 105% of the agreed limited quantity has been supplied or the agreed limited period has been reached.

(8)Orders that cannot be filled because of an error on the part of Buyer or its customer.

2.If the Case Fill Rate in a Product Category is below ninety eight percent (98%) in three or more calendar months of a trailing twelve-month period of the Commitment Period, and Buyer has achieved Minimum Forecast Accuracy for the calendar months with a deficient Case Fill Rate, Buyer may elect on written notice to Seller to temporarily self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source the average monthly quantity of Products in the Product Category by which Seller was deficient in meeting the 98% Case Fill Rate (the Monthly Deficiency Quantity”). The phrase “Minimum Forecast Accuracy” will be at least seventy-five percent (75%) accuracy in Buyer’s forecasting of demand for a Product by shipping point as determined using the methodology agreed to by the Parties in the SOPs. Buyer may only self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source those Products in a Product Category on which Seller was deficient in meeting the 98% Case Fill Rate in the Product Category and on which Buyer has achieved Minimum Forecast Accuracy for the calendar months with a deficient Case Fill Rate. The Monthly Deficiency Quantity of a Product Category will be adjusted on a monthly basis to reflect any improvement or decline in Seller meeting or exceeding a 98% Case Fill Rate for the Product Category and Buyer meeting or failing to meet the Minimum Forecast Accuracy.

Example: Seller was deficient in meeting the 98% Case Fill Rate on Products A and B in a Product Category by 10,000 net raw material pounds in June 2020, 15,000 net raw material pounds in August 2020 and 20,000 net raw material pounds in October 2020. Buyer achieved Minimum Forecast Accuracy for all calendar months with the deficient Case Fill Rate. Seller supplied all ordered quantities of Products C and D in the same Product Category. In November 2020, Buyer may elect to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source a Monthly Deficiency Quantity of 15,000 net raw material



pounds of Products A and B. Buyer would not be able to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source any quantity of Products C and D.

3.If Buyer elects to commence self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source of the Monthly Deficiency Quantity in a Product Category, Buyer may continue to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source the Monthly Deficiency Quantity in the Product Category until Seller has provided Buyer with adequate assurances in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer that Seller has corrected the issue(s) that caused Seller to fall below a 98% Case Fill Rate in the Product Category. If Buyer enters into a supply agreement with a secondary source for the Monthly Deficiency Quantity on commercially reasonably pricing, duration and other terms in order to mitigate its damages, Buyer will not have to resume purchasing the Monthly Deficiency Quantity from Seller under the Agreement until the supply agreement with the secondary source has expired or Buyer is able to end, or cease purchasing the Material Deficiency Quantity under the supply agreement, without liability. Buyer will enter into a supply agreement with a secondary source for a period reasonably estimated that Seller will need to correct the issue(s) that caused Seller to fall below a 98% Case Fill Rate in the Product Category. Buyer will not, however, enter into a supply agreement with a secondary source under this Section in excess of six (6) calendar months unless Seller has advised Buyer that Seller will need more than six (6) calendar months to correct the issues that caused Seller to fall below a 98% Case Fill Rate in the Product Category. Buyer may extend or renew a supply agreement as reasonably required to the extent Seller has not corrected the issue(s) that caused Seller to fall below a 98% Case Fill Rate in a Product Category by the end of the supply agreement.

4.If Buyer self-manufactures or purchase from a secondary source a Monthly Deficiency Quantity, Seller will reimburse Buyer for the amount by which the actual, reasonable, substantiated costs incurred by Buyer to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source the Monthly Deficiency Quantity (including any additional warehousing and freight costs) exceed the amount that Buyer would have paid Seller under this Purchase Schedule for the same mix and quantity of Products. Seller will pay Buyer the reimbursement amount under this Subsection within thirty (30) days of receipt of Buyer’s invoice and substantiating documentation.

5.If Buyer self-manufactures or purchase from a secondary source a Monthly Deficiency Quantity in a Product Category in a calendar month, but Seller still fails to achieve a 98% Case Fill Rate for the Product Category in the same calendar month in which Buyer has also achieved Minimum Forecast Accuracy, Seller will reimburse Buyer for the actual, reasonable, substantiated costs amount of service penalties imposed on Buyer by its customers for the calendar month which are solely attributable to Seller’s case fill deficiencies. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if reimbursements under this Subsection will exceed, in the aggregate, one million U.S. dollars in a calendar year of the Commitment Period (prorated for any partial year of the Commitment Period), Seller will only have to reimburse Buyer for fifty percent (50%) of any reimbursement amount in excess of one million U.S. dollar. Seller will pay Buyer the reimbursement amount under this Subsection within thirty (30) days of receipt of Buyer’s invoice and substantiating documentation. Except as provided in this Subsection, Seller will not be liable for any other amount or type of customer service penalties under any circumstance.

6.    Pricing.

1.Price of Ordered Products. Seller will charge Buyer the price per case of a Product determined under this Section that is in effect on the delivery date of the Product specified by Buyer in its purchase order, inclusive of any price adjustments that occur between the purchase order date and the order delivery date. Attachment 1 sets out the initial price per case of each Product with order delivery dates occurring the last calendar quarter of 2019. During the Commitment Period Seller may only adjust the price per case of each Product to Buyer using the price adjustment mechanisms in this Purchase Schedule.

2.Quarterly Price Adjustment for Changes in Raw Material Costs. On January 1, 2020 and on the first day of each of each subsequent calendar quarter of the Commitment Period (each a Price Adjustment Date”), the price per case of a Product will be adjusted based on the increase or decrease in the average monthly published market price per pound of the primary raw material used in the manufacture of a Product using the following price adjustment methodology:

3.Annual Price Increase. On January 1, 2020 and on January 1 of each subsequent calendar year of the Commitment Period, the price per case of a Product will be increased by the percentage in the “Annual Price Increase Percentage” column for the Product in the chart in Attachment 1.

4.Invoice, Payment and Credit.

(1)Seller will deliver an invoice to Buyer for ordered Products on or after the delivery date. Seller will waive its right to compensation if Seller fails to invoice Buyer within ninety (90) days of the delivery date.

(2)Buyer will pay Seller the price and any other amounts owed by Buyer on a transaction within thirty (30) days of invoice. Payments will be in U.S. dollars and must be made by ACH or another form of electronic funds transfer approved by Seller (i.e., payment by check is unacceptable). A payment will be considered made on the date the Buyer’s funds have been deposited in and credited to Seller’s account. Buyer may not offset or deduct against an invoiced amount for a claim arising on another transaction with Seller. If Buyer believes that there is a good faith basis to dispute payment of an invoiced amount in whole or in part (e.g., billing error; overage; damaged or defective product; etc.), Buyer must deliver a written notice to Seller on or before the invoice due date explaining that good faith basis for withholding the disputed amount and providing copies of any substantiating documentation. A failure by Buyer to submit a timely written notice to Seller by the invoice due date will be deemed a waiver of any defense to non-payment



of the invoice amount owed and any claim against Seller on the transaction (other than for latent warranty defects that were not known and could not have been reasonably discovered and reported before the invoice due date). If Buyer disputes only a portion of an invoiced amount, Buyer will pay the undisputed portion of the invoiced amount to Seller on or before the invoice due date.

(3)Seller reserves the right in its sole but good faith discretion to determine the credit limit of Buyer. Seller may modify the credit limit and payment terms of Buyer in the event of a material adverse change in the financial condition of Buyer. Before exercising its right to modify the credit limit or payment terms in the event of such a material adverse change, Seller will request adequate assurances from Buyer as provide in Section 5 of the Agreement. If the Buyer provides adequate assurance to Seller as provided in that Section, Seller will defer any modification of the credit limit or payment terms.

7.    Product Specifications and Addition, Removal and Modification of Products.

1.Seller has provided Buyer on or before the Effective Date with the bills of material, engineering drawings, specifications and other design documents in electronic form required for the manufacture, packaging, labelling, storage, delivery and use of each Product (the Specifications”).

2.The Parties may only add a good as a Product under this Purchase Schedule, remove a good as a Product from this Purchase Schedule or modify the Specifications for a Product under this Purchase Schedule through a signed written amendment. If a Party proposes to amend this Purchase Schedule to add or remove a good as a Product or to make a Major Modification to a Product, the other Party may grant, condition or withhold its consent to the proposed change in its sole and absolute discretion. If a Party proposes to amend this Purchase Schedule to make a Minor Modification to a Product, the other Party will exercise good faith business judgment in deciding whether to grant, condition or withhold its consent to the proposed change. The phrase Minor Modification” will mean a change in a Specification of a Product that will result in: (1) an increase or decrease in the number of units in a case of the Product; (2) a change in the Buyer Branding on the exterior of the Product or its packaging; or (3) any other change that does not require the other Party to incur any material cost, risk or liability or to acquire, develop or license any intellectual property (other than for Buyer Branding or a Buyer Patent as provided in this Purchase Schedule). The phrase Major Modification” will mean any change in a Specification of a Product that is not considered a Minor Modification under the prior sentence. If a good is added to this Purchase Schedule through a signed written amendment, Seller will provide Buyer with a complete set of the Specifications of the added Product in electronic form on or before the effective date of such amendment. If a Product is modified through a signed written amendment, Seller will provide Buyer with a complete set of the updated Specifications of the modified Product in electronic form on or before the effective date of such amendment.

3.If the Parties agree on adding a good as a Product under this Purchase Schedule or modifying a Product under this Purchase Schedule, the Parties will promptly memorialize the agreement in a signed written amendment to this Purchase Schedule. If the Parties are unable to agree on and sign a written amendment to this Purchase Schedule adding a good as a Product under this Purchase Schedule or modifying a Product under this Purchase Schedule within thirty (30) days of a Party requesting the addition or modification, then Buyer may elect to self-manufacture the additional or modified good or to purchase the additional or modified good from another source (subject to Seller’s right of first refusal in the next Subsection).

4.If the parties are unable to agree as provided in Subsection (c) above, Seller will have a right of first refusal to match the price in an offer of a competitor to sell an additional or modified good to Buyer where the additional or modified good in question: (1) will be manufactured from a Raw Material for any Product being supplied under this Purchase Schedule; (2) is for the purpose of packaging, selling or use in consuming food; and (3) is not required to be manufactured in accordance with, or to incorporate any proprietary element (design or utility) owned by such competitor. In such case, before accepting a competitor’s offer to sell Buyer an additional or modified good, Buyer will present Seller with a true, accurate and complete copy of the competitor’s offer. Seller will have ten (10) days from receipt of the competitor’s offer in which to exercise Seller’s right of first refusal under this Section. If Seller notifies Buyer during the thirty (30) days period that Seller will sell the additional or modified good to Buyer at the price set forth in the competitor’s offer and otherwise on the terms and conditions in this Purchase Schedule, the SOPs and the main body of the Agreement, the Parties will promptly memorialize the



agreement in a signed written amendment to this Purchase Schedule. If Seller does not notify Buyer during the thirty (30) days period that Seller will sell the additional or modified good to Buyer at the price set forth in the competitor’s offer and otherwise on the terms and conditions in this Purchase Schedule, the SOPs and the main body of the Agreement, Buyer may accept the competitor’s offer to sell the additional or modified good in question without being considered in breach of this Agreement.

8.    Manufacture, Storage and Delivery of Ordered Products.

1.Subject to Section 9, Seller may manufacture and store Products for sale to Buyer under this Purchase Schedule at any facility operated by Seller and its Affiliates in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Buyer is making a “Made in USA” claim on a Product as identified in the Specifications approved by the Parties from time to time, Seller will ensure that such a Product is manufactured in a facility in the United States of America. Except as provided in the prior sentence, Buyer will have sole responsibility and liability for a “Made in USA” claim on Product. During the Commitment Period, Seller anticipates manufacturing and storing Products for sale to Buyer primarily at the facilities of Seller listed in Attachment 2. Seller reserves the right to change the facility at which any Product is manufactured and stored for sale to Buyer under this Purchase Schedule. Seller will notify Buyer at least thirty (30) days in advance of any change in the facility at which a Product will be manufactured or stored for sale to Buyer under this Purchase Schedule. Seller will not be required to provide advance notice, however, if Seller initiates a temporary change in a manufacturing or storage facility: (a) to avoid, minimize or restore performance following a delay or interruption in the sale of a Product as a result of an event of Force Majeure or (b) to use available manufacturing or storage capacity at another facility for a period of thirty (30) days or less. Seller will be entitled to any cost savings, and will bear any increased costs, including increased or decreased freight, resulting from a change in the facility at which a Product will be manufactured or stored for sale to Buyer under this Purchase Schedule.

2.Seller will deliver ordered Products to Buyer on an “Ex-Works” basis per INCOTERMS 2010 (“EXW”) at one of the manufacturing or warehouse facilities owned, leased or otherwise operated by Seller or its vendor identified in Attachment 2 (each being a Delivery Point”). The specific Delivery Point for ordered Products will be identified in the accepted purchase order. Title and risk of loss of ordered Products will transfer from Seller to Buyer upon tender to Buyer or a third party carrier at the specified Delivery Point. Seller reserves the right to change the location of a Delivery Points under this Purchase Schedule. Seller will notify Buyer at least ninety (90) days in advance of any change in a Seller Destination under this Purchase Schedule. Seller will not be required to provide advance notice, however, if Seller initiates a temporary change in a Seller Destination to avoid, minimize or restore performance following a delay or interruption in the sale of a Product as a result of an event of Force Majeure. If Seller changes the Delivery Points for any reason other than an event of Force Majeure or at Buyer’s request and the Seller’s change in the Delivery Points results in an increase in the annual freight costs of Buyer either to its own facilities or to its customers, then Buyer may require Seller to pay, reimburse or credit Buyer for the actual substantiated out-of-pocket expenses of the increase in annual freight costs incurred by Buyer based on such change. Buyer must request payment, reimbursement or credit for such increase by delivering written notice to Seller within ninety (90) days of the end of each calendar year of the Commitment Period. Buyer must provide reasonable details and substantiation for the claimed increase in the written notice. Seller will pay, reimburse or credit Buyer for the increase within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice. Any disagreement over the claimed increase will be resolved through the Dispute resolution process provided in the Agreement.

9.    Tolled Assets.

1.If indicated on Attachment 3, some or all of the Products are expected to be manufactured on the equipment and tooling identified on Attachment 3 which is located in a manufacturing facility of Seller (the Tolled Assets”). Seller will endeavor to use Tolled Assets to manufacture applicable Products as a general practice, but Seller may use its own equipment to manufacture Products in a circumstance where a required Tolled Asset is unavailable (e.g., undergoing maintenance or repair) or if use of Seller’s own equipment will allow Seller to achieve cost savings or operating efficiencies or otherwise improve its operations.

Seller will not have to pay Buyer any royalty, rent or other compensation for the use, maintenance and repair of the Tolled Assets for the authorized purpose in this Section. Seller will not remove or relocate a Tolled Asset from the assigned manufacturing facility identified on Attachment 3 except as provided in this Section.

Buyer will provide Seller with signs to place and maintain signs on Tolled Assets to notify observers that the Tolled Assets are the personal property of Buyer. Buyer may also file a UCC-1 financing statement or other public notices required under Applicable Laws to inform third-parties of the ownership interest of Buyer in the Tolled Assets and to otherwise protect such ownership interest. Buyer may inspect a Tolled Asset during the Commitment Period to confirm that the Tolled Asset is being used, maintained and repaired by Seller in compliance with the license granted under this Section and to exercise any right and perform any other obligation of Buyer as the owner of the Tolled Asset upon reasonable advance notice to Seller and on a day and at a time selected by Seller in its good faith discretion within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice. Seller will not remove a Tolled Asset from the manufacturing facility listed in Attachment 3 except as provided in this Section.

5.Seller may: (1) cease using a Tolled Asset that Seller no longer requires to perform its obligations under this Purchase Schedule on at least 90 days advance written notice to Buyer and require Buyer at its expense to remove the Tolled Asset from the Seller’s manufacturing facility; or (2) relocate a Tolled Asset to another manufacturing or storage facility of Seller in the same country at its expense on at least 90 days advance written notice to Buyer. Advance written notice will not be required if the cessation of use, removal or relocation of a Tolled Asset is the result of an event of Force Majeure, a material breach of the Agreement by Buyer beyond any permitted or required notice and cure period or material damage to the Tolled Asset requiring capital improvement or capital replacement to restore the Tolled Asset. Seller will endeavor in good faith to provide Buyer with such verbal and written notice as is reasonably practicable under these circumstances.

6.Buyer will, at its expense, remove the Tolled Assets from the manufacturing facilities of Seller within 180 days of the end of the Commitment Period. In addition, Buyer may, at its expense, elect to remove a Tolled Asset from Seller’s facility on commercially reasonable advance verbal and written notice to Seller, and relocate the Tolled Asset to a facility owned or leased by Buyer or its Affiliate for self-manufacture of goods for Buyer and its Affiliates, (i) an event of Force Majeure during which Seller is unable to use the Tolled Asset to supply Products to Buyer and its Affiliates, (ii) during a period that Seller is in material breach of the Agreement beyond any permitted or required notice and cure period, (iii) during a period that Buyer has elected to self-manufacture a Material Deficient Quantity under Section 5 of this Purchase Schedule, or (iv) to allow Buyer to perform capital improvement or capital replacement needed to restore the Tolled Asset.

BETWEEN REYNOLDS CONSUMER PRODUCTS LLC AND PACTIV LLC

1.    These Non-Compete Restrictions will form part of and supplement the Master Supply Agreement dated November 1, 2019 between Reynolds, as Seller, and Pactiv LLC, as Buyer, and the Master Supply Agreement dated November 1, 2019 between Pactiv, as Seller, and Reynolds, as Buyer (each an MSAand collectively the MSAs”). Capitalized terms and phrases not otherwise defined in these Non-Compete Restrictions will have the same meaning ascribed to them in the respective MSAs. As used in these Non-Compete Restrictions, the phrase “Affiliate” means a direct or indirect subsidiary of a Party. A breach of these Non-Compete Restrictions by a Party or its Affiliate will represent a material breach of the MSAs. These Non-Compete Restrictions will commence on November 1, 2019 and end on the expiration or earlier termination of each of the MSAs.

2.    The Parties and their respective Affiliates supply goods to some of the same customers in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico, but, because of their different business models, the Parties and their respective Affiliates do not currently compete with one another in the sale of those goods.

3.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Pactiv and its Affiliates will not sell products that Pactiv and its Affiliates sell Reynolds and its Affiliates under an MSA, nor goods that compete with those products, directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants (including sales to Amazon and other e-commerce sites of goods for resale in individual consumer quantities bearing UPC codes on the exterior of the packaging), club stores (excluding Restaurant Depot, Smart & Final and Gordon Foodservice Marketplace or club store customers with similar business models) and other retail establishments in the United States of America and Canada for resale to consumers in those countries. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Pactiv and its Affiliates may manufacture goods in Mexico similar to the products that Pactiv and its Affiliates sell Reynolds and its Affiliates under an MSA, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, and sell those goods to HEB and its affiliates in the United States of America and Canada for resale to consumers in those countries.

4.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Reynolds and its Affiliates will not sell products purchased under an MSA from Pactiv and its Affiliates, nor goods that compete with those products, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to businesses that operate restaurants and foodservice establishments, groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants (including sales to Amazon and other e-commerce sites of goods for resale in full case quantities bearing UPC codes on the exterior of the case), club stores and other retail establishments, and egg, meat, poultry, fish, produce, deli, bakery and other food suppliers and processors in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico for use by those businesses in preparing, packaging, selling or serving food for sale to consumers in those countries. By way of clarification, the preceding sentence will not preclude Reynolds and its Affiliates from selling Hefty tableware foam products that Pactiv and its Affiliates manufacture for Reynolds for its sale to Smart & Final and its affiliates in the United States of America.

5.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Reynolds and its Affiliates will not sell products that Reynolds and its Affiliates sell Pactiv and its Affiliates under an MSA, nor goods that compete with those products, directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to businesses that operate restaurants and foodservice establishments, groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants (including sales to Amazon and other e-commerce sites of goods for resale in full case quantities bearing UPC codes on the exterior of the case), club stores and other retail establishments, and egg, meat, poultry, fish, produce, deli, bakery and other food suppliers and processors in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico for use by those businesses in preparing, packaging, selling or serving food for sale to consumers in those countries.

6.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Pactiv and its Affiliates will not sell products purchased under an MSA from Reynolds and its Affiliates, nor goods that compete with those products, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants (including sales to Amazon and other e-commerce sites of goods for resale in individual consumer quantities bearing UPC codes on the exterior of the packaging), club stores (excluding Restaurant Depot, Smart & Final and Gordon Foodservice Marketplace or club store customers with similar business models) and other retail establishments in the United States of America and Canada for resale to consumers in those countries.

7.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Reynolds and its Affiliates will not sell cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups made from plastic, paper or any other raw material aside from aluminum, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to (a) HEB and its affiliates



in the United States of America and Canada for resale to consumers in those countries, or (b) groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants, club stores and other retail establishments in Mexico for resale to consumers in Mexico (“Mexico Retailers”). By way of clarification, the preceding sentence will not preclude Reynolds and its Affiliates from selling: (i) cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups that Pactiv and its Affiliates manufacture for Reynolds for its sale to HEB and its affiliates in the United States of America and Canada and resale by HEB and its affiliates to consumers in those countries, or (ii) goods other than such cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups to HEB and its affiliates in the United States of America and Canada, and Mexico Retailers in Mexico, for resale to consumers in the respective countries.

8.    Notwithstanding the restrictions in the prior Section, if Reynolds or its Affiliate receive an opportunity with a Reynolds multinational customer to sell cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups made from plastic, paper or any other raw material aside from aluminum, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to a Mexico Retailer owned, controlled and operated by the Reynolds multinational customer for resale to consumers in Mexico and Pactiv or its Affiliate is not currently selling the product(s) in question, directly or indirectly, to that Mexico Retailer (a New Business Opportunity”), Reynolds will offer Pactiv the opportunity to supply the product(s) for the New Business Opportunity. In such a circumstance, the Parties will engage in a good faith negotiation and attempt to agree on the pricing and other terms for the purchase and sale of the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity. If the Parties are able to agree on the pricing and other terms for the purchase and sale of the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity, the Parties will sign a Purchase Schedule to the MSA under which Pactiv is Seller and Reynolds is Buyer memorializing the agreement for Pactiv to supply the product(s) for the New Business Opportunity. If the Parties are unable to agree on the pricing and other terms for the purchase and sale of the product(s) in question within thirty (30) days of Pactiv receiving notice from Reynolds of the New Business Opportunity, then Reynolds may elect to self-manufacture the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity or source those product(s) from a competing supplier for the New Business Opportunity. If Reynolds receives and wishes to accept an offer from a competing supplier to supply the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity and the competing offer is for a higher price than Pactiv’s last best offer to Reynolds, Pactiv will have a right of first refusal to match the pricing in the competitor’s offer and supply the product(s) for the New Business Opportunity. Before Reynolds or its Affiliate accepts a competitor’s offer to supply the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity, Reynolds will present Pactiv with a true, accurate and complete copy of the competitor’s offer. Pactiv will have thirty (30) days from receipt of the competitor’s offer in which to exercise Pactiv’s right of first refusal under this Section. If Pactiv’s exercises its right of first refusal by notifying Reynolds within the thirty (30) days period, the Parties will sign a Purchase Schedule to the MSA under which Pactiv is Seller and Reynolds is Buyer for the supply of product(s) for the New Business Opportunity at the pricing in the competitor’s offer. If Pactiv does not exercise its right of first refusal by notifying Reynolds within the thirty (30) days period, Reynolds may accept the competitor’s offer and purchase the product(s) in question from the competitor solely for the purpose of reselling them to the Mexico Retailer for the New Business Opportunity. Nothing in this Section will permit Reynolds or its Affiliates to sell cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups made from plastic, paper or any other raw material aside from aluminum, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to businesses that operate restaurants and foodservice establishments, groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants, club stores and other retail establishments, and egg, meat, poultry, fish, produce, deli, bakery and other food suppliers and processors for use by those businesses in preparing, packaging, selling or serving food for sale to consumers in Mexico.

9.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Pactiv and its Affiliates will not sell aluminum foil or aluminum containers, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to Mexico Retailers for resale to consumers in Mexico. By way of clarification, the preceding sentence will not preclude Seller and its Affiliates from selling goods other than such aluminum foil or aluminum containers to Mexico Retailers for resale to consumers in Mexico.

10.    Except as provided in the prior Sections, nothing in these Restrictions or the MSAs will preclude or restrain the Parties and their Affiliates from being able to competing with one another in the United States of America, Canada, Mexico or any other country.

In witness whereof, Reynolds and Pactiv have executed these Non-Compete Restrictions as of November 1, 2019.

MASTER SUPPLY AGREEMENT

MASTER SUPPLY AGREEMENT (the Agreement”) dated November 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) between REYNOLDS CONSUMER PRODUCTS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its headquarters at 1900 West Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045 (“Buyer”), and PACTIV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its headquarters at 1900 West Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045 (“Seller”). Seller and Buyer are referred to individually at times as a “Party” and collectively at times as the Parties”.

BACKGROUND

A.    Seller sells various types of products used in the consumer and food service markets.

B.    Buyer sells various types of products, including certain products of the type made by Seller, to its customers.

C.    The Parties are entering into this Agreement to establish the terms and conditions under which Seller may agree to sell specific products to Buyer, and Buyer may agree to purchase specific products from Seller for later resale by Buyer to its business customers.

AGREEMENT

1.    Term. The Termof this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will end on the earlier of: (a) the first anniversary of the expiration date of the last Purchase Schedule (as defined in this next Section); (b) a termination date elected by a Party in a written notice delivered to the other Party any time after the expiration of the last Purchase Schedule; or (c) a termination date elected by a Party in a written notice delivered to the other Party as provided in Subsection 11(d) of this Agreement. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement with respect to any (i) products purchased and sold under this Agreement during the Term and products sold after the Term for orders accepted during the Term; (ii) Confidential Information (as defined in Section 10 of this Agreement) disclosed or received by a Party during the Term; (iii) breach of this Agreement by a Party; (iv) any other statement, decision, act or omission of a Party concerning or related to this Agreement; (v) any Dispute (as defined in Section 11 of this Agreement) between the Parties concerning or related to this Agreement; (vi) products and other materials manufactured or maintained by Seller in inventory for sale to Buyer that Buyer is obligated to purchase under a Purchase Schedule; and (vii) any provision that expressly states that it will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

2.    Scope. This Agreement will apply to all products sold by Seller to Buyer, and all products purchased by Buyer from Seller, during the Term unless the Parties expressly agree that this Agreement will not apply to a particular type of transaction in a separate written document signed by an officer of each Party. This Agreement will not require Seller to sell any type or quantity of a product to Buyer, nor will this Agreement required Buyer to purchase any type or quantity of a product from Seller, except as expressly provided by the Parties in a Purchase Schedule. The phrase “Purchase Schedule” will mean a written supplement to this Agreement signed by an officer of each Party which references this Agreement and which identities, among other terms and conditions, the specific types and quantities of products that will be purchased and sold by the Parties on terms and conditions in the schedule, the specifications for the identified products, the duration of the commitment period during which the Parties will be obligated to purchase and sell the identified products on the terms and conditions in the schedule, the prices of the identified products, any mechanisms for adjusting the prices of the identified products over the commitment period, and the facilities at which the identified products will be manufactured, stored and delivered by Seller. The Parties may add terms and conditions to, and amend the terms and conditions of, this Agreement in a Purchase Schedule, but any additional and amended terms and conditions in a Purchase Schedule supplementing and modifying this Agreement will only apply the specific products identified in that Purchase Schedule for its duration.

3.    Standard Operating Procedures. Over approximately the past eight years, the Parties have been supplying select Products to one another for use in the operation of their respective businesses within the United States of America, Canada and Mexico. The Parties developed and been following certain standard operating procedures in connecting with, among other topics, forecasting, production planning, ordering, delivering and resolving claims on the Products supplied to one another (the “Current SOPs”).



The Parties will be updating their respective business systems over the next six months, and the updates to these business systems will require the Parties to modify the Current SOPs. Once the Parties have completed the updates to the business systems and agreed on the necessary modifications to the Current SOPs, the Parties will sign a written amendment to this Agreement appending the updated standard operating procedures (the “Updated SOPs”). Until the Parties have signed a written amendment appending the Updated SOPs, the parties will continue to follow the Current SOPs. The Parties will comply with the applicable SOPs in connection with the purchase and sale of products identified in a Purchase Schedule. The Parties may add terms and conditions to, and amend the terms and conditions of, the SOP in a Purchase Schedule, but any additional and amended terms and conditions in a Purchase Schedule supplementing and modifying the SOP will only apply the specific products identified in that Purchase Schedule for its duration.

4.    Order and Priority of Interpretation. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between two or more provisions in this Agreement, including the provisions in its Exhibits and Purchase Schedules, the provisions in the documents will govern, supersede and control over one another in the following order of priority: (1st) a Purchase Schedule with regards to the purchase and sale of the specific products identified in that Purchase Schedule for its duration; (2nd) the SOP; (3rd) any Exhibit to this Agreement but only with regards to specific subject matter of the Exhibit; and (4th) the main body of this Agreement prior to the signature page.

5.    General Representations, Warranties and Covenants. A Party represents, warrant and covenants on the Effective Date and at all times during the Term that:

a.The Party is formed, registered, licensed and operating its business in compliance with the laws of the United States of America, its states and territories, and any districts, municipalities and other political subdivisions of the foregoing (“Applicable Laws”).

b.The Party is operating its business in compliance with a commercially reasonable code of ethics adopted by such Party.

c.The Party may enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement without being in conflict with, or in breach of, any other agreement of the Party.

d.The Party is solvent, is capable of paying its debts as and when they become due and is paying its debts as and when due.

e.The Party is not the subject of a criminal investigation nor a defendant in any criminal indictment, petition, complaint or proceeding that carries a potential sentence involving incarceration in excess of one year for any director or executive officer of the Party involved in the alleged criminal misconduct or a fine in excess of $100,000 USD.

A Party will promptly notify the other Party of any change in circumstance during the Term in which the Party is no longer in compliance with the foregoing general representations, warranties and covenants. An incident of actual, alleged or suspected non-compliance by a Party with a warranty under this Section being investigated, contested or corrected in good faith by the Party and which, regardless of outcome, will have no material adverse effect on the Party or its performance under this Agreement or on the other Party, will not be considered a breach of this clause. An incident of actual, alleged or suspected non-compliance by a Party of this Section or any other Section of this Agreement will be grounds for the other Party to demand adequate assurances of performance as provided by Section 2-609 of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code. A Party will have ten (10) days to provide adequate assurances of performance to the other Party in a form acceptable to the other Party in its good faith discretion.

6.    Specific Product Warranties. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that each product sold under this Agreement will at the time of delivery to Buyer:

a.Be in new, undamaged and unadulterated condition free of any defects in design, materials and manufacture. Seller is not making any representation or warranty under this clause with regards to the design of a product to the extent the design constitutes, incorporates or otherwise embodies intellectual property that Buyer has represented and warranted to Seller is owned by Buyer and which Buyer has licensed to Seller to manufacture the product for Buyer.




b.Have been manufactured and stored by Seller at a plant (and, if applicable under a Purchase Schedule, a warehouse) of Seller approved in the applicable Purchase Schedule prior to its delivery to Buyer.

c.Has been manufactured, packaged, labelled, sold and delivered by Seller, and may be sold by Buyer in interstate commerce, in compliance with Applicable Laws, including without limitation with food safety regulations issued by the United States Food and Drug Administration that are applicable to the product.

d.Comply with the written specifications for the product identified in the applicable Purchase Schedule.

e.Be fit for the purpose of packaging, selling or use in consuming food subject to qualifications and instructions on the use of the product in the written specifications for the product identified in the applicable Purchase Schedule.

g.Not infringe on any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other the intellectual property of any third-party registered or otherwise recognized and enforceable under Applicable Law. Seller is not making any representation or warranty under this clause with regards to the design of a product to the extent the design constitutes, incorporates or otherwise embodies intellectual property that Buyer has represented and warranted to Seller is owned by Buyer and which Buyer has licensed to Seller to manufacture the product for Buyer.

h.Comply with any additional representations and warranties of Seller regarding the product in the applicable Purchase Schedule.

If a Buyer receives a product that fails to conform to these representations and warranties, the sole remedies of Buyer for the breach of warranty will be to: (1) reject and return the non-conforming product to Seller for a refund or credit, or a replacement conforming product, in the manner and time period provided in the SOP; (2) obtain reimbursement from Seller for actual, reasonable, substantiated out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in the recovery, return or disposal of a non-conforming product that is the subject of a mandatory product recall required under Applicable Laws or a voluntary withdrawal declared by Seller or approved by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (3) obtain indemnification from Seller for any Indemnified Claim arising from or related to the nonconforming product as provided in Section 7.

7.    Indemnification.

a.A claim that a Party (referred to at times in this Section as an Indemnifying Party”) is required to defend and indemnify the other Party (referred to at times in this Section as an “Indemnified Party”) under this Agreement is referred to at times in this Section as an Indemnified Claim”. Defense and indemnification under this Section will include, without limitation, (1) paying or reimbursing the actual, reasonable, substantiated out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, defense and settlement of any civil, criminal or administrative action, suit, arbitration, mediation, hearing, audit, investigation or other proceeding threatened or commenced against an Indemnified Party on an Indemnified Claim (e.g., fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, auditors, investigators, consulting experts, testifying experts and other consultants; fees and expenses of an arbitrator or mediator; filing fees and costs imposed by any court, administrative agency or other tribunal; etc.), and (2) satisfying any judgment, award, order, lien, levy, fine, penalty or other sanction imposed against an Indemnified Party on an Indemnified Claim.

b.Seller will defend and indemnify Buyer against: (1) any third-party claim for personal injury, damage to tangible property or other loss to the extent caused by any actual or alleged breach of this Agreement by Seller, including, without limitation, any product supplied by Seller which fails to conform to the representations and warranties in this Agreement; (2) any third-party claim for personal injury, damage to tangible property or other loss to the extent caused by any actual or alleged negligence or other legally culpable misconduct of Seller in the design, manufacture, storage, sale or delivery of any product sold by Seller under this Agreement or in the performance



of other obligation of Seller under this Agreement; (3) any third-party claim for actual or alleged infringement of a product sold by Seller under this Agreement or its design, manufacture, storage, packaging, sale or delivery by Seller under this Agreement or in the performance of any other obligation of Seller under this Agreement (except to the extent that the infringement is based on intellectual property that that Buyer has represented and warranted to Seller that Buyer owns and that Buyer has licensed to Seller and that Seller has used in compliance with the license terms in supplying the product); (4) the threat or imposition of any fine, penalty or other sanction by a governmental authority on Buyer to the extent caused by any actual or alleged violation by Seller of Applicable Law; or (5) any other matter that Seller has agreed to defend and indemnify Buyer against under a Purchase Schedule.

c.Buyer will defend and indemnify Seller against: (1) any third-party claim for personal injury, damage to tangible property or other loss to the extent caused by any actual or alleged breach of this Agreement by Buyer; (2) any third-party claim for personal injury, damage to tangible property or other loss to the extent caused by any actual or alleged negligence or other legally culpable misconduct of Buyer in the purchase, storage, repackaging, resale or delivery of any product purchased from Seller under this Agreement or in the performance of other obligation of Buyer under this Agreement; (3) any third-party claim for actual or alleged infringement of a product sold by Seller under this Agreement or its design, manufacture, storage, sale or delivery by Seller under this Agreement or in the performance of any other obligation of Seller under this Agreement to the extent based on intellectual property that that Buyer has represented and warranted to Seller that Buyer owns and that Buyer has licensed to Seller and that Seller has used in compliance with the license term in supplying the product; (4) the threat or imposition of any fine, penalty or other sanction by governmental authority on Seller to the extent caused by any actual or alleged violation by Buyer of Applicable Law; or (5) any other matter that Buyer has agreed to defend and indemnify Seller against under a Purchase Schedule.

d.As a condition of receiving defense and indemnification under this Section for an Indemnified Claim, the Indemnified Party must:

(1)notify and tender the defense of an Indemnified Claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly after the Indemnified Party learns of the Indemnified Claim; and

(2)provide information and cooperation reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in the investigation, defense, settlement and satisfaction of the Indemnified Claim. An Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party of any reasonable, actual, substantiated out-of-pocket expense incurred in providing the requested information or cooperation.

e.If the Indemnifying Party accepts the tender of defense of an Indemnified Claim, with or without reservation, the Indemnifying Party will:

(1)promptly notify the Indemnified Party of the acceptance of the tender of defense of the Indemnified Claim.

(2)control the investigation, defense, settlement and satisfaction of the Indemnified Claim, including, without limitation, the selection of licensed, qualified and reputable attorneys and expert witnesses and all decisions over settlement and litigation strategy. The Indemnifying Party must act in good faith in exercising control over the investigation, defense, settlement and satisfaction of the Indemnified Claim.

(3)Provide information reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party regarding the investigation, defense, settlement and satisfaction of the Indemnified Claim

f.An Indemnifying Party, acting in good faith, may settle an Indemnified Claim for which it is responsible under this Agreement involving infringement on the intellectual property of a third-party by: (1) obtaining a license from the third-party allowing the required use of its intellectual property; (2) modifying a product, equipment or process in a manner which avoids infringing on the intellectual property of the third-party; or (3) voluntarily withdrawing the infringing product from the market and either refunding the amount paid by the Indemnified Party for the infringing product or replacing the infringing product with a non-infringing product.




g.The Parties may disagree on whether a claim is an Indemnified Claim under this Agreement, which Party should be considered the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party for an Indemnified Claim or whether each Party is partially liable for an Indemnified Claim and how liability for such an Indemnified Claim should be allocated between them. In these and other circumstances in which an actual or potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the Parties with regards to an alleged or agreed upon Indemnified Claim that would preclude their joint representation by a single defense counsel, the Parties will endeavor in good faith to attempt to resolve the conflict. If the Parties are able to resolve the actual or potential conflict of interest, the Parties will memorialize the agreed upon resolution in a written joint defense agreement signed by officers of each Party and their joint defense counsel. If the Parties are unable to resolve the actual or potential conflict of interest, each Party may independently and separately investigate, defend, settle and satisfy the claim subject to their right to pursue payment or reimbursement for costs incurred in doing so from the other Party as provided in this Agreement.

8.    Insurance. During the Term of this Agreement, each Party will maintain the following minimum types and amounts of insurance coverage during the Term of this Agreement:

a.Commercial General Liability Insurance. Occurrence based coverage with a combined single limit of at least $10,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate for premises and operations; products and completed operations; contractual liability coverage for indemnities of a Party contained within this Agreement; broad form property damage (including completed operations); explosion, collapse and underground hazards; and personal injury. Requires additional insured endorsement and waiver of subrogation endorsement.

9.    Limitations on Liability.

a.Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. Each Party: (1) disclaims all representations and warranties regarding its products, performance, supplied information or business, whether oral or written, express or implied, arising by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, the implied warranty of merchantability and the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, other than those express representations and warranties of the Party in this Agreement; (2) acknowledges that the Party has not relied on, and will not rely on, any representations and warranties of the other Party regarding its products, performance, supplied information or business, whether oral or written, express or implied, arising by operation of law or otherwise, other than those express representations and warranties of the other Party in this Agreement; and (3) waives any claim that the Party may have based, in whole or in part, on any representations and warranties of the other Party regarding its products, performance, supplied information or business, whether oral or written, express or implied, arising by operation of law or otherwise, other than those express representations and warranties of the other Party in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer is entitled to rely on (i) the descriptive information in transaction documents issued by either Party in the ordinary course of business during the Term identifying the ordered Products (e.g., the type and quantity of ordered products and scheduled date and location for delivery) and (ii) FDA guaranty letters and other similar written assurances in Seller’s standard forms certifying that a product complies with Applicable Laws issued by Seller to Buyers and other U.S. customers in the ordinance course of business during the Term.

b.Exclusion of Indirect Damages; Waiver of Claim for Insured Damage or Loss. A Party that breaches this Agreement will only be liable to the other Party for direct damages arising from the breach. Each Party waives any right to recover consequential, incidental, indirect, exemplary, punitive or any other types of indirect damages from the other Party for a breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, this Subsection will not limit the liability of a Party for any amount or type of damages for: (1) the defense and indemnification of an Indemnified Claim on which the Party is the Indemnifying Party; (2) infringement by the Party on the intellectual property of the other Party; (3) the unauthorized disclosure or use by the Party of the Confidential Information of the other Party; (4) payment or reimbursement of any amount expressly required to be paid or reimbursed by the Party under a provision of this Agreement; or (5) the intentional misconduct of the Party in violation of Applicable Laws.

c.Force Majeure. A Party will not be considered in breach of this Agreement or liable to the other Party for any interruption or delay in performance under this Agreement to the extent caused by an event outside of the ability of the performing Party to foresee and avoid with the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts (such an event is referred to at times as an event of Force Majeure”). Examples of events of Force Majeure include, without limitation: natural disasters; war; acts of terrorism; government action; accident; strikes, slowdowns and other labor disputes; shortages in or inability to obtain material, equipment, transportation or labor; any breach, negligence, criminal misconduct or other act or omission of any third-party; fire or other insured or uninsured casualty. A Party whose performance is interrupted or delayed by an event of Force Majeure will be excused from the interruption or delay in performance during the event of Force Majeure and for a commercially reasonable period of additional time after the event of Force



Majeure that the Party needs to recover from the event of Force Majeure and restore performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party will only be excused for an interruption or delay in performance under this Subsection for an event of Force Majeure only if the Party (1) promptly notifies the other Party of the event of Force Majeure and provides information reasonably requested by the other Party regarding the event of Force Majeure, the efforts undertaken by the Party to foresee and avoid interruption or delay in its performance before the occurrence of the event, to mitigate interruption or delay in performance during the event, and to recover from and restore performance following the event; and (2) the Party exercises commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, recover from and restore performance following the event of Force Majeure. During, and while recovering from and restoring performance following, an event of Force Majeure, Seller will act in good faith in allocating its available manufacturing capacity to supply products to Buyer under this Agreement and any products to other customers of Seller. If an event of Force Majeure interrupts or delays Seller from supplying a product to Buyer under this Agreement in the quantities and timetable required by Buyer, Buyer may cancel any unfilled orders for the product with Seller and procure the required quantities of the product from one or more other sources until Seller has recovered from and restored its ability to perform following the event of Force Majeure. If the interruption or delay in the supply of a product to Buyer under this Agreement caused by an event of Force Majeure has exceeded, or is reasonably likely to exceed, thirty (30) days, Buyer may enter into longer term supply agreements or make other arrangements to procure the required quantities of the product from one or more other sources for a duration and on terms acceptable to Buyer in its good faith discretion. In such a circumstance, Buyer will not have to resume purchasing the product from Seller under this Agreement until Seller has recovered from and restored its ability to perform following the event of Force Majeure and the longer term agreements or other arrangements have expired or Buyer is able to end them without liability. This Subsection will not excuse nor extend a deadline by which a Party must pay an amount owed under this Agreement or Applicable Law or by which a Party must exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or Applicable Law.

10.    Confidential Information and Other Intellectual Property.

a.The Parties anticipate exchanging Confidential Information (as defined in in the next Subsection) over the Term of this Agreement for the purpose of negotiating and entering into Purchase Schedules and amendments to this Agreement, transacting business with one in accordance with this Agreement and exercising their rights and performing their obligations under this Agreement (collectively referred to as the Authorized Purpose”).

2)The other Party (referred to at times in this Section as the Receiving Party”) requests such information from the Disclosing Party for the Authorized Purpose during the Term (i.e., neither Party wants unsolicited Confidential Information from the other Party); and

3)The Disclosing Party discloses such requested information to the Receiving Party during the Term either labelled as “Confidential” or words of similar intent, or describes the disclosed information in reasonable detail in a written notice to the Receiving Party delivered, either at the time of disclosure or within five (5) days of disclosure. If a Disclosing Party neglects to label or deliver timely written notice to the Receiving Party identifying the disclosed information as confidential in nature, the disclosed information will only be treated as Confidential Information under this Agreement if the Disclosing Party is able to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the Receiving Party knew that the disclosed information was a trade secret or other non-public, proprietary information of the Disclosing Party at the time of disclosure.

The criteria in Clause (2) and Clause (3) will not apply to Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party observed or heard by a Receiving Party in a plant, warehouse, facility or system of the Disclosing Party. The existence and terms of this Agreement, and the existence, nature and extent of the business relationship between the Parties, will be considered the Confidential Information of each Party.




c.The phrase Confidential Informationalso means the Know-How of a Disclosing Party and its direct and indirect subsidiaries that a Receiving Party and its direct and indirect subsidiaries learned of, acquired or otherwise used prior to the Effective Date. The phrase Know-Howmeans trade secret and other confidential, proprietary information of a Party or its Affiliate concerning the manufacture, storage, packaging, marketing, sale and delivery of its products. Examples of Know-How may be in the form of drawings, equipment specifications, formulae, formulations, guidelines, manuals, methods, plans, policies, procedures, processes, properties and applications of raw materials and products, tools, dies and molds. A Receiving Party and its direct and indirect subsidiaries may continue to use the Know-How of the Disclosing Party and its direct and indirect subsidiaries in the possession of the Receiving Party and its direct and indirect subsidiaries as of the Effective Date for the Authorized Purpose and in connection with the operation of the business of the Receiving Party and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Nothing in this Subsection or any other provisions of this Agreement will obligate a Party to disclose or license the use of its Know-How of any kind and in any form arising, discovered, acquired or developed after the Effective Date to the other Party.

d.The phrase Confidential Information” does not include, and there will not be any duties of confidentiality or other restrictions under this Agreement for, the following types of information:

(1)Information which is or becomes available as part of the public domain through any means other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or

(2)Information, other than Know-How received prior the Effective Date, which is known to the Receiving Party before the disclosure of the same information by the Disclosing Party; or

(3)Information which is or becomes available to the Receiving Party from a third-party who is not under any duty to preserve the confidentiality of such information; or

(4)Information which is furnished by the Disclosing Party to a third-party without imposing any duty on the third-party to preserve the confidentiality of such information; or

(5)Information which is independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of or reliance on any trade secret or other non-public, proprietary information provided by the Disclosing Party as Confidential Information under this Agreement or under any prior agreement between the Parties; or

(6)Information that ceases to be a trade secret or other non-public, proprietary information of the Disclosing Party under applicable law through any means other than those enumerated above that does not involve nor result from a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party.

Confidential Information may include, without limitation, information concerning the assets, liabilities, financing, financial statements, ownership, goods, services, customers, suppliers, marketing, manufacturing, equipment, software, technology, supply chain, business strategies, plans, models, policies, methods, processes, formulae, specifications, drawings, schematics, software and technical know-how of a Disclosing Party. A Receiving Party will take all commercially reasonable actions required to safeguard the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party in the possession of such Receiving Party against the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information by other persons. A Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party if the Receiving Party learns of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by any person. A Receiving Party will cooperate in good faith with the Disclosing Party to prevent any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by any person.

f.A Receiving Party will not disclose nor use the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party except as follows:

(1)A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party on a “need to know” basis to the Representatives of the Receiving Party who require such information for the Authorized Purpose and in order for the Receiving Party and its Affiliates to comply with Applicable Laws, accounting standards and securities exchange requirements. Before making such a disclosure, the Receiving Party will advise the Representatives of the



confidential nature of the information being shared and ensure that duties and restrictions are, or have been, imposed on the Representatives receiving the Confidential Information similar to those imposed on the Receiving Party under this Agreement. A Receiving Party will be liable for any breach of this Agreement by its Representatives. An Affiliateof a Party means a legal entity that owns and controls, or is owned and controlled by, or is under common ownership and control with, a Party (other than the other Party or any of its direct and indirect subsidiaries), with ownership and control of a legal entity being determined by the ownership of the majority voting interest in the legal entity. A Representativemeans the Affiliates of a Party and the directors, officers, managers, employees, accountants, attorneys, auditors and other agents and consultants of a Party and its Affiliates.

(2)A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party to a court, governmental entity or any other person in order for the Receiving Party and its Affiliates to comply with Applicable Laws, accounting standards and securities exchange requirements. If legally permissible and reasonably possible, a Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party prior to disclosing its Confidential Information pursuant to this Section and cooperate in good faith with any lawful efforts by the Disclosing Party to avoid or limit the disclosure of its Confidential Information. A Receiving Party will not be obligated to incur any liability, expense or risk in extending such cooperation to a Disclosing Party. Based on legal advice of its attorney, a Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by any deadline established under an Applicable Law, accounting standard and securities exchange requirement.

(3)A Receiving Party may disclose and use the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any other agreement with the Disclosing Party in any arbitration, court or other legal proceeding. A Receiving Party may disclose and use this Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party to defend the Receiving Party or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives in any arbitration, court or other legal proceeding. In either circumstance, the Receiving Party will ensure that a protective order, agreement or other mechanism is in place to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

(4)A Receiving Party and its Representatives may disclose and use the Confidential Information for any other purpose consented to by a Disclosing Party in a written notice signed by an officer of the Disclosing Party delivered to the Receiving Party.

g.In disclosing its Confidential Information to a Receiving Party, a Disclosing Party represents, warrants and covenants to the Receiving Party that:

(1)The Disclosing Party owns and has the right to disclose and authorize the use of Confidential Information as provided in this Agreement.

(2)The Receiving Party and its Representatives may use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for the Authorized Purpose and other limited purposes provided in this Agreement.

(3)The Disclosing Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Receiving Party and its Representatives against any claim of a third-party that the disclosure and use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as provided in this Agreement infringes on a patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property of the third-party registered in or otherwise recognized and enforceable under Applicable Laws.

Except for the limited representations and warranties in this Section, a Disclosing Party disclaims all other representations and warranties of any kind related to its Confidential Information, whether express, implied or arising by operation of law, including the disclaimer, without limitation, of any representation and warranties concerning merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, truth, accuracy or completeness.

h.The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Section with regards to disclosed Confidential Information will continue:

(1)Until the earlier of (i) sixty (60) months from the date of disclosure to a Receiving Party or (ii) the date such information ceases to be considered Confidential Information under this



Agreement, for Confidential Information that is not a trade secret of a Disclosing Party under Applicable Law; and

(2)Until Confidential Information that is a trade secret of a Disclosing Party under Applicable Law ceases to be a trade secret of the Disclosing Party under Applicable Law.

i.A Receiving Party will return or destroy all forms of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the custody of the Receiving Party and its Representatives within ten (10) days of receipt of a written request from the Disclosing Party and after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. This will include, without limitation, all copies, records, documents and other information representing, comprising, containing, referencing or created based on Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party and its Representatives may retain copies of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which (x) the Receiving Party and its Representatives are required to retain to comply with Applicable Laws, accounting standards and security exchange requirements (but only for the duration and in the manner so required for this limited purpose); or (y) have been archived in electronic form by the Receiving Party and its Representatives and which would be unduly burdensome for the Receiving Party and its Representatives to have to search for and delete the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

j.Except for the limited right to disclose and use Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party for the Authorized Purpose and other purposes provided in the this Section and except for any license of intellectual property granted by a Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party in a Purchase Schedule, this Agreement does not grant a Receiving Party or its Representatives any right, title, interest or ownership in the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party nor in any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property of the Disclosing Party. As between the Parties during the Term, to be effective, the grant of any right, title, interest and ownership in and to any Confidential Information of Party or in an patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property of the Party must be in writing and signed by the chief executive officers of the Parties.

a.Negotiation. If a Party believes that the other Party has breached this Agreement or if there is a dispute between the Parties over the interpretation of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), the Parties will endeavor to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days after a Party notifies the other Party of the Dispute and before either Party requests mediation or files litigation to resolve the Dispute.

b.Mediation. If the Parties have been unable to resolve a Dispute through good faith negotiation as provided in the prior Subsection, a Party may request that the Parties attempt to resolve the Dispute through mediation by notifying the other Party with a copy to JAMS. The Parties will attempt to select a mutually acceptable JAMS mediator within ten (10) days of the notice requesting mediation. The mediation will be held in Lake County or Cook County, Illinois within thirty (30) days of the notice requesting mediation before a JAMS mediator and in compliance with JAMS mediation guidelines. Each party will bear its own costs in preparing for and participating in the mediation and one-half of the fees and expenses charged by JAMS for conducting the mediation.

c.Litigation. If the Parties have been unable to resolve a Dispute through mediation as provided in the prior Subsection, a Party may file litigation against the other Party in a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America. With respect to litigation involving only the Parties or their Affiliates, the Parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the U.S. federal and Illinois state courts of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in Lake County, Illinois or Cook County, Illinois and their respective higher courts of appeal for the limited purpose of resolving a Dispute, and the Parties waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defense of inconvenient forum. The Parties waive any right to trial by jury as to any Disputes resolved through litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may file litigation to resolve a Dispute without undergoing either negotiation or mediation as provided in the prior Subsections for any Dispute involving: (i) infringement on intellectual property; (ii) the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information; or (iii) a request for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or any other type of equitable relief.




d.Remedies. Except as expressly limited in the preceding Subsections and the other provisions in this Agreement, a Party may immediately exercise any rights and remedies available to the Party under Applicable Law upon a breach of this Agreement by the other Party. A Party will not suspend performance under or terminate this Agreement or any accepted purchase order for a product being purchased and sold under this Agreement unless: (1) the other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and has either refused to cure the material breach or has failed to cure the material breach within thirty (30) day of its receipt of written notice of the failure; and (2) the Parties have been unable to resolve the Dispute related to the material breach through negotiation or mediation, or the breaching Party has refused or failed to attempt to resolve the Dispute through negotiation or mediation, as provided in this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may suspend performance or terminate this Agreement or any accepted purchase order for a product being purchase and sold under this Agreement immediately on written notice to the other Party, and without providing the other Party an opportunity to cure the material breach or attempting to resolve a Dispute over the material breach by negotiation or mediation as provided in this Section, for a material breach by the other Party involving substantial harm to the reputation, goodwill and business of the non-breaching Party that cannot reasonably be avoided or fully redressed by providing the other Party an opportunity to cure the material breach.

e.Late Fees and Collection Costs. If Buyer fails to pay Seller an amount owed under this Agreement by the invoice due date, then Buyer will owe Seller: (i) the delinquent amount; and (ii) a late payment fee equal to two percent (2%) of the delinquent amount for each full or partial calendar month past the invoice due date that the delinquent amount remains unpaid. In addition, if Seller has to file litigation to collect the amount owed and Seller prevails in the litigation, Buyer will reimburse Seller for actual, reasonable, substantiated out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in collecting the delinquent amount and accrued late payment fees on the delinquent amount. Under no circumstance will the late payment fee payable to Seller exceed the amount that a creditor may lawfully impose on a debtor on a delinquent amount under Applicable Law.

12.    Miscellaneous.

a.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its appended Exhibits and Purchase Schedules entered into during the Term, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the sale of products by Seller to Buyer and the purchase of products by Buyer from Seller.

No handwritten or other addition, deletion or other modification to the printed portions of this Agreement will be binding upon either Party to this Agreement.

b.Amendments. A Party may not amend nor supplement the terms and conditions in this Agreement through the inclusion of additional or different terms and conditions in any quotation, purchase order, invoice, bill of lading, letter, email or other document or communication. This Section does not prevent the reliance on the descriptive information in transaction documents identifying the ordered Products (e.g., the type and quantity of ordered products and scheduled date and location for delivery). No amendment of this Agreement will be valid or effective unless made in writing and signed and exchanged by the chief executive officers of the Parties. A Party may approve or reject a request for an amendment in its sole and absolute discretion.

c.Waiver. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to take advantage of any of its rights shall not operate as a continuing waiver of such rights. No right or obligation under this Agreement will be considered to have been waived by a Party unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by an officer of the waiving Party and delivered to the other Party. No consent to or waiver of a breach by either Party will constitute a consent to, waiver of, or excuse for any other, different, or subsequent breach by such Party.

d.Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of Illinois and the United States of America, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws.

e.Severability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may transfer and assign this Agreement to any of its affiliates or in connection with any merger, consolidation or sale of assets without the other Party’s prior consent provided (a) that any such assignment will not result in the assigning Party being released or discharged from any liability under this Agreement, and (b) the purchaser/assignee will expressly assume all obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement. The assigning Party will provide the other Party with written notice of such assignment prior to or promptly following the effective date of such assignment. A change of control shall be deemed an assignment requiring consent hereunder provided that any transfer or assignment that results in Seller’s and Buyer’s current common parent, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited, ceasing to control either party shall not require consent of the other party. The restrictions in this Section will not preclude a Party for authorizing an Affiliate to purchase or sell a product on behalf of a Party under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assignees of the respective Parties.

g.Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided in a Purchase Schedule, there are no intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Agreement is not a contract of adhesion and that ambiguities in the Agreement, if any, shall not be construed strictly or in favor of or against either Party, but rather shall be given a fair and reasonable construction.

4.    Quantities. Notwithstanding anything in this Purchase Schedule or the balance of the Agreement to the contrary:

a.Seller may decline to sell an ordered quantity of a Product to Buyer in the following circumstances without being in breach of this Agreement:




(1)Seller is unable to sell the ordered quantity a Product in compliance with this Agreement by the delivery date required by Buyer in its purchase order because of an event of Force Majeure (provided Seller has complied with Subsection 9(c) of the Agreement).

(2)Seller is unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product because: (i) Buyer is delinquent in paying amounts owed Seller under the Agreement more than twice in any trailing twelve month period for periods in excess of ten (10) days following written notice; (ii) the amount payable for the ordered quantity of Product and all other ordered but unpaid quantities of Product exceed the then current credit limit of Buyer with Seller (which credit limit shall have been communicated to Buyer); or (iii) Buyer is otherwise in material breach of the Agreement beyond any required or permitted notice and cure period. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller will not suspend supplying Products to Buyer for a delinquent amount or material breach being disputed in good faith by Buyer unless (a) the Parties have completed at least the negotiation and mediation steps in the Dispute resolution process in Section 11 of the Agreement; or (b) Buyer has failed to provide adequate assurances of payment and performance requested by Seller as provided in Section 5 of the Agreement.

(3)Seller is unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product because the ordered quantity was not ordered in accordance with the SOP.

(4)Seller is unable or unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product in a calendar month because Seller has already accepted orders for or filled the Maximum Monthly Order Quantity of all Products in the same Product Category in the calendar month. Attachment 2 lists the Maximum Monthly Order Quantity of each Product Category.

(5)Seller is unable or unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product during any period that the Product is the subject of: (i) a product recall required by Applicable Laws; or (ii) a voluntary withdrawal declared or approved by Seller. In any of the foregoing circumstances, however, the Parties will work together in good faith and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resume the purchase and sale of the Product after adequate assurances of performance have been provided by the responsible Party that the actual or alleged design or manufacturing defect, infringing element or other issue that gave rise to the product recall or voluntary withdrawal has been corrected. This Subsection will not relieve Seller of liability to Buyer for a product recall or voluntary withdrawal is caused by a breach of this Agreement by Seller.

b.Buyer and its Affiliates may self-manufacture or purchase an ordered quantity of a Product from a source other than Seller in the following circumstances without Buyer being considered in breach of this Agreement:

(1)Seller is unable to sell the ordered quantity a Product in compliance with this Agreement by the delivery date required by Buyer in its purchase order because of an event of Force Majeure.

(2)Buyer is unwilling to purchase the ordered quantity of a Product from Seller because Seller is in material breach of the Agreement beyond any required or permitted notice and cure period.

(3)Seller declines or fails to supply the ordered quantity to Buyer in breach of the Agreement.

(4)Buyer is unable or unwilling to purchase the ordered quantity of a Product during any period that the Product is the subject of: (i) a product recall required by Applicable Laws; or (ii) a voluntary withdrawal declared or approved by Seller. In any of the foregoing circumstances, however, the Parties will work together in good faith and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resume the purchase and sale of the Product after adequate assurances of performance have been provided by the responsible Party that the actual or alleged design or manufacturing defect, infringing element or other issue that gave rise to the product recall or voluntary withdrawal has been corrected. This Subsection will not relieve Buyer of liability to Seller for a product recall or voluntary withdrawal is caused by a breach of this Agreement by Buyer.

(5)A customer of Buyer requires Buyer either to self-manufacture the ordered quantity of Product, or to purchase the ordered quantity of Product from a source other than Seller, for



sale by Buyer to the customer. Buyer will act in good faith and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to persuade its customers to accept Products manufactured by Seller.

(6)Seller is unable or unwilling to sell the ordered quantity of a Product in a calendar month because Seller has already accepted orders for or filled the Maximum Monthly Order Quantity of all Products in the same Product Category in the calendar month.

(7)Buyer has elected to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source a Monthly Deficient Quantity of Products in a Product Category as provided in the next Section.

5.    Case-Fill Standard.

a.Seller will calculate and report the Case Fill Rate in each Product Category to Buyer within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month. The “Case Fill Rate” will mean the percentage of ordered cases of Products in a Product Category required to be filled in a calendar month that Seller actually fills in the calendar month. In calculating the Case Fill Rate of a Product Category, Seller will exclude the following orders:

(1)Orders that Seller declines to accept, or that Seller is otherwise unwilling or unable to fill, for any reason provided in Subsection 4(a) of this Purchase Schedule.

(2)Orders received by Seller less than the minimum order lead time in advance of the requested shipment or delivery date.

(3)Orders on which Buyer requests a change less than three (3) days in advance of the requested shipment or delivery date.

(4)Orders on which a Product is not filled at the direction of Buyer or its customer.

(5)Orders cancelled by Buyer or its customer.

(6)Orders for discontinued Products.

(7)Orders for Products manufactured at the direction of Buyer for an agreed limited quantity after 105% of the agreed limited quantity has been supplied or the agreed limited period has been reached.

(8)Orders that cannot be filled because of an error on the part of Buyer or its customer.

b.If the Case Fill Rate in a Product Category is below ninety eight percent (98%) in three or more calendar months of a trailing twelve-month period of the Commitment Period, and Buyer has achieved Minimum Forecast Accuracy for the calendar months with a deficient Case Fill Rate, Buyer may elect on written notice to Seller to temporarily self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source the average monthly quantity of Products in the Product Category by which Seller was deficient in meeting the 98% Case Fill Rate (the Monthly Deficiency Quantity”). The phrase “Minimum Forecast Accuracy” will be at least seventy-five percent (75%) accuracy in Buyer’s forecasting of demand for a Product by shipping point as determined using the methodology agreed to by the Parties in the SOPs. Buyer may only self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source those Products in a Product Category on which Seller was deficient in meeting the 98% Case Fill Rate in the Product Category and on which Buyer has achieved Minimum Forecast Accuracy for the calendar months with a deficient Case Fill Rate. The Monthly Deficiency Quantity of a Product Category will be adjusted on a monthly basis to reflect any improvement or decline in Seller meeting or exceeding a 98% Case Fill Rate for the Product Category and Buyer meeting or failing to meet the Minimum Forecast Accuracy.

Example: Seller was deficient in meeting the 98% Case Fill Rate on Products A and B in a Product Category by 10,000 net raw material pounds in June 2020, 15,000 net raw material pounds in August 2020 and 20,000 net raw material pounds in October 2020. Buyer achieved Minimum Forecast Accuracy for all calendar months with the deficient Case Fill Rate. Seller supplied all ordered quantities of Products C and D in the same Product Category. In November 2020, Buyer may elect to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source a Monthly Deficiency Quantity of 15,000 net raw material



pounds of Products A and B. Buyer would not be able to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source any quantity of Products C and D.

c.If Buyer elects to commence self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source of the Monthly Deficiency Quantity in a Product Category, Buyer may continue to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source the Monthly Deficiency Quantity in the Product Category until Seller has provided Buyer with adequate assurances in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer that Seller has corrected the issue(s) that caused Seller to fall below a 98% Case Fill Rate in the Product Category. If Buyer enters into a supply agreement with a secondary source for the Monthly Deficiency Quantity on commercially reasonably pricing, duration and other terms in order to mitigate its damages, Buyer will not have to resume purchasing the Monthly Deficiency Quantity from Seller under the Agreement until the supply agreement with the secondary source has expired or Buyer is able to end, or cease purchasing the Material Deficiency Quantity under the supply agreement, without liability. Buyer will enter into a supply agreement with a secondary source for a period reasonably estimated that Seller will need to correct the issue(s) that caused Seller to fall below a 98% Case Fill Rate in the Product Category. Buyer will not, however, enter into a supply agreement with a secondary source under this Section in excess of six (6) calendar months unless Seller has advised Buyer that Seller will need more than six (6) calendar months to correct the issues that caused Seller to fall below a 98% Case Fill Rate in the Product Category. Buyer may extend or renew a supply agreement as reasonably required to the extent Seller has not corrected the issue(s) that caused Seller to fall below a 98% Case Fill Rate in a Product Category by the end of the supply agreement.

d.If Buyer self-manufactures or purchase from a secondary source a Monthly Deficiency Quantity, Seller will reimburse Buyer for the amount by which the actual, reasonable, substantiated costs incurred by Buyer to self-manufacture or purchase from a secondary source the Monthly Deficiency Quantity (including any additional warehousing and freight costs) exceed the amount that Buyer would have paid Seller under this Purchase Schedule for the same mix and quantity of Products. Seller will pay Buyer the reimbursement amount under this Subsection within thirty (30) days of receipt of Buyer’s invoice and substantiating documentation.

e.If Buyer self-manufactures or purchase from a secondary source a Monthly Deficiency Quantity in a Product Category in a calendar month, but Seller still fails to achieve a 98% Case Fill Rate for the Product Category in the same calendar month in which Buyer has also achieved Minimum Forecast Accuracy, Seller will reimburse Buyer for the actual, reasonable, substantiated costs amount of service penalties imposed on Buyer by its customers for the calendar month which are solely attributable to Seller’s case fill deficiencies. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if reimbursements under this Subsection will exceed, in the aggregate, one million U.S. dollars in a calendar year of the Commitment Period (prorated for any partial year of the Commitment Period), Seller will only have to reimburse Buyer for fifty percent (50%) of any reimbursement amount in excess of one million U.S. dollar. Seller will pay Buyer the reimbursement amount under this Subsection within thirty (30) days of receipt of Buyer’s invoice and substantiating documentation. Except as provided in this Subsection, Seller will not be liable for any other amount or type of customer service penalties under any circumstance.

6.    Pricing.

a.Price of Ordered Products. Seller will charge Buyer the price per case of a Product determined under this Section that is in effect on the delivery date of the Product specified by Buyer in its purchase order, inclusive of any price adjustments that occur between the purchase order date and the order delivery date. Attachment 1 sets out the initial price per case of each Product with order delivery dates occurring the last calendar quarter of 2019. During the Commitment Period Seller may only adjust the price per case of each Product to Buyer using the price adjustment mechanisms in this Purchase Schedule.

b.Quarterly Price Adjustment for Changes in Raw Material Costs. On January 1, 2020 and on the first day of each of each subsequent calendar quarter of the Commitment Period (each a Price Adjustment Date”), the price per case of a Product will be adjusted based on the increase or decrease in the average monthly published market price per pound of the primary raw material used in the manufacture of a Product using the following price adjustment methodology:

c.Annual Price Increase. On January 1, 2020 and on January 1 of each subsequent calendar year of the Commitment Period, the price per case of a Product will be increased by the percentage in the “Annual Price Increase Percentage” column for the Product in the chart in Attachment 1.

d.Invoice, Payment and Credit.

(i)Seller will deliver an invoice to Buyer for ordered Products on or after the delivery date. Seller will waive its right to compensation if Seller fails to invoice Buyer within ninety (90) days of the delivery date.

(ii)Buyer will pay Seller the price and any other amounts owed by Buyer on a transaction within thirty (30) days of invoice. Payments will be in U.S. dollars and must be made by ACH or another form of electronic funds transfer approved by Seller (i.e., payment by check is unacceptable). A payment will be considered made on the date the Buyer’s funds have been deposited in and credited to Seller’s account. Buyer may not offset or deduct against an invoiced amount for a claim arising on another transaction with Seller. If Buyer believes that there is a good faith basis to dispute payment of an invoiced amount in whole or in part (e.g., billing error; overage; damaged or defective product; etc.), Buyer must deliver a written notice to Seller on or before the invoice due date explaining that good faith basis for withholding the disputed amount and providing copies of any substantiating documentation. A failure by Buyer to submit a timely written notice to Seller by the invoice due date will be deemed a waiver of any defense to non-payment of the invoice amount owed and any claim against Seller on the transaction (other than for latent warranty defects that were not known and could not have been reasonably discovered and reported before the invoice due date). If Buyer disputes only a portion of an invoiced amount, Buyer will pay the undisputed portion of the invoiced amount to Seller on or before the invoice due date.




(iii)Seller reserves the right in its sole but good faith discretion to determine the credit limit of Buyer. Seller may modify the credit limit and payment terms of Buyer in the event of a material adverse change in the financial condition of Buyer. Before exercising its right to modify the credit limit or payment terms in the event of such a material adverse change, Seller will request adequate assurances from Buyer as provide in Section 5 of the Agreement. If the Buyer provides adequate assurance to Seller as provided in that Section, Seller will defer any modification of the credit limit or payment terms.

7.    Product Specifications and Addition, Removal and Modification of Products.

a.Seller has provided Buyer on or before the Effective Date with the bills of material, engineering drawings, specifications and other design documents in electronic form required for the manufacture, packaging, labelling, storage, delivery and use of each Product (the Specifications”).

b.The Parties may only add a good as a Product under this Purchase Schedule, remove a good as a Product from this Purchase Schedule or modify the Specifications for a Product under this Purchase Schedule through a signed written amendment. If a Party proposes to amend this Purchase Schedule to add or remove a good as a Product or to make a Major Modification to a Product, the other Party may grant, condition or withhold its consent to the proposed change in its sole and absolute discretion. If a Party proposes to amend this Purchase Schedule to make a Minor Modification to a Product, the other Party will exercise good faith business judgment in deciding whether to grant, condition or withhold its consent to the proposed change. The phrase Minor Modification” will mean a change in a Specification of a Product that will result in: (1) an increase or decrease in the number of units in a case of the Product; (2) a change in the Buyer Branding on the exterior of the Product or its packaging; or (3) any other change that does not require the other Party to incur any material cost, risk or liability or to acquire, develop or license any intellectual property (other than for Buyer Branding or a Buyer Patent as provided in this Purchase Schedule). The phrase Major Modification” will mean any change in a Specification of a Product that is not considered a Minor Modification under the prior sentence. If a good is added to this Purchase Schedule through a signed written amendment, Seller will provide Buyer with a complete set of the Specifications of the added Product in electronic form on or before the effective date of such amendment. If a Product is modified through a signed written amendment, Seller will provide Buyer with a complete set of the updated Specifications of the modified Product in electronic form on or before the effective date of such amendment.

c.If the Parties agree on adding a good as a Product under this Purchase Schedule or modifying a Product under this Purchase Schedule, the Parties will promptly memorialize the agreement in a signed written amendment to this Purchase Schedule. If the Parties are unable to agree on and sign a written amendment to this Purchase Schedule adding a good as a Product under this Purchase Schedule or modifying a Product under this Purchase Schedule within thirty (30) days of a Party requesting the addition or modification, then Buyer may elect to self-manufacture the additional or modified good or to purchase the additional or modified good from another source (subject to Seller’s right of first refusal in the next Subsection).

d.If the parties are unable to agree as provided in Subsection (c) above, Seller will have a right of first refusal to match the price in an offer of a competitor to sell an additional or modified good to Buyer where the additional or modified good in question: (1) will be manufactured from a Raw Material for any Product being supplied under this Purchase Schedule; (2) is for the purpose of packaging, selling or use in consuming food; and (3) is not required to be manufactured in accordance with, or to incorporate any proprietary element (design or utility) owned by such competitor. In such case, before accepting a competitor’s offer to sell Buyer an additional or modified good, Buyer will present Seller with a true, accurate and complete copy of the competitor’s offer. Seller will have ten (10) days from receipt of the competitor’s offer in which to exercise Seller’s right of first refusal under this Section. If Seller notifies Buyer during the thirty (30) days period that Seller will sell the additional or modified good to Buyer at the price set forth in the competitor’s offer and otherwise on the terms and conditions in this Purchase Schedule, the SOPs and the main body of the Agreement, the Parties will promptly memorialize the agreement in a signed written amendment to this Purchase Schedule. If Seller does not notify Buyer during the thirty (30) days period that Seller will sell the additional or modified good to Buyer at the price set forth in the competitor’s offer and otherwise on the terms and conditions in this Purchase Schedule, the SOPs and the main body of the Agreement, Buyer may accept the



competitor’s offer to sell the additional or modified good in question without being considered in breach of this Agreement.

8.    Manufacture, Storage and Delivery of Ordered Products.

a.Subject to Section 9, Seller may manufacture and store Products for sale to Buyer under this Purchase Schedule at any facility operated by Seller and its Affiliates in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Buyer is making a “Made in USA” claim on a Product as identified in the Specifications approved by the Parties from time to time, Seller will ensure that such a Product is manufactured in a facility in the United States of America. Except as provided in the prior sentence, Buyer will have sole responsibility and liability for a “Made in USA” claim on Product. During the Commitment Period, Seller anticipates manufacturing and storing Products for sale to Buyer primarily at the facilities of Seller listed in Attachment 2. Seller reserves the right to change the facility at which any Product is manufactured and stored for sale to Buyer under this Purchase Schedule. Seller will notify Buyer at least thirty (30) days in advance of any change in the facility at which a Product will be manufactured or stored for sale to Buyer under this Purchase Schedule. Seller will not be required to provide advance notice, however, if Seller initiates a temporary change in a manufacturing or storage facility: (a) to avoid, minimize or restore performance following a delay or interruption in the sale of a Product as a result of an event of Force Majeure or (b) to use available manufacturing or storage capacity at another facility for a period of thirty (30) days or less. Seller will be entitled to any cost savings, and will bear any increased costs, including increased or decreased freight, resulting from a change in the facility at which a Product will be manufactured or stored for sale to Buyer under this Purchase Schedule.

b.Seller will deliver ordered Products to Buyer on an “Ex-Works” basis per INCOTERMS 2010 (“EXW”) at one of the manufacturing or warehouse facilities owned, leased or otherwise operated by Seller or its vendor identified in Attachment 2 (each being a Delivery Point”). The specific Delivery Point for ordered Products will be identified in the accepted purchase order. Title and risk of loss of ordered Products will transfer from Seller to Buyer upon tender to Buyer or a third party carrier at the specified Delivery Point. Seller reserves the right to change the location of a Delivery Points under this Purchase Schedule. Seller will notify Buyer at least ninety (90) days in advance of any change in a Seller Destination under this Purchase Schedule. Seller will not be required to provide advance notice, however, if Seller initiates a temporary change in a Seller Destination to avoid, minimize or restore performance following a delay or interruption in the sale of a Product as a result of an event of Force Majeure. If Seller changes the Delivery Points for any reason other than an event of Force Majeure or at Buyer’s request and the Seller’s change in the Delivery Points results in an increase in the annual freight costs of Buyer either to its own facilities or to its customers, then Buyer may require Seller to pay, reimburse or credit Buyer for the actual substantiated out-of-pocket expenses of the increase in annual freight costs incurred by Buyer based on such change. Buyer must request payment, reimbursement or credit for such increase by delivering written notice to Seller within ninety (90) days of the end of each calendar year of the Commitment Period. Buyer must provide reasonable details and substantiation for the claimed increase in the written notice. Seller will pay, reimburse or credit Buyer for the increase within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice. Any disagreement over the claimed increase will be resolved through the Dispute resolution process provided in the Agreement.

9.    Tolled Assets.

a.If indicated on Attachment 3, some or all of the Products are expected to be manufactured on the equipment and tooling identified on Attachment 3 which is located in a manufacturing facility of Seller (the Tolled Assets”). Seller will endeavor to use Tolled Assets to manufacture applicable Products as a general practice, but Seller may use its own equipment to manufacture Products in a circumstance where a required Tolled Asset is unavailable (e.g., undergoing maintenance or repair) or if use of Seller’s own equipment will allow Seller to achieve cost savings or operating efficiencies or otherwise improve its operations. Buyer represents, warrants and covenants to Seller that: (1) Buyer is the sole owner of the Tolled Assets; (2) Buyer grants Seller a license for the exclusive use of the Tolled Assets during the Commitment Period for the purpose of manufacturing Products for sale to Buyer under this Purchase Schedule and manufacturing goods, other than Buyer Branded Products and Buyer Proprietary Products, for sale to other customers of Seller; and (3) Seller may use the Tolled Assets for the authorized purposes in this Section during the Commitment Period free of any unreasonable interference by Buyer and its Affiliates and free of all claims of third-parties. Buyer makes no other representations or warranties regarding the condition or operation of the Tolled Assets. Buyer shall indemnify Seller



as set forth in Subsection 7(b) of the Agreement with respect to any breach by Buyer of, or inaccuracy in, the representations, warranties and covenants of Buyer in this Section.

b.Seller, at its expense, will use, maintain and repair the Tolled Assets in compliance with their respective original equipment manufacturer instructions and Applicable Laws during the Commitment Period and in substantially the same used, but usable, condition, or in a better condition, than exists on the Effective Date of this Purchase Schedule, ordinary wear and tear, capital improvements and capital replacements excepted. Seller will not have to pay Buyer any royalty, rent or other compensation for the use, maintenance and repair of the Tolled Assets for the authorized purpose in this Section. Seller will not remove or relocate a Tolled Asset from the assigned manufacturing facility identified on Attachment 3 except as provided in this Section. Seller shall indemnify Buyer as set forth in Subsection 7(a) of the Agreement with respect to any Indemnified Claims arising from Seller’s use of the Tolled Assets.

c.Buyer will perform all obligations, and bear all other expenses, of ownership of the Tolled Assets, including, without limitation, paying all property taxes and other government impositions on the Tolled Assets, insuring the Tolled Assets as provided in the Agreement and performing and paying for any capital improvements and capital replacements to the Tolled Assets required to maintain them in compliance with their respective original equipment manufacturers instructions and Applicable Laws and in substantially the same used, but usable, condition, or in a better condition, than exists on the Effective Date of this Purchase Schedule.

d.Except for the limited licenses granted by Buyer to Seller under this Section, Buyer will retain all right, title, interest and ownership in the Tolled Assets. Buyer will provide Seller with signs to place and maintain signs on Tolled Assets to notify observers that the Tolled Assets are the personal property of Buyer. Buyer may also file a UCC-1 financing statement or other public notices required under Applicable Laws to inform third-parties of the ownership interest of Buyer in the Tolled Assets and to otherwise protect such ownership interest. Buyer may inspect a Tolled Asset during the Commitment Period to confirm that the Tolled Asset is being used, maintained and repaired by Seller in compliance with the license granted under this Section and to exercise any right and perform any other obligation of Buyer as the owner of the Tolled Asset upon reasonable advance notice to Seller and on a day and at a time selected by Seller in its good faith discretion within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice. Seller will not remove a Tolled Asset from the manufacturing facility listed in Attachment 3 except as provided in this Section.

e.Seller may: (1) cease using a Tolled Asset that Seller no longer requires to perform its obligations under this Purchase Schedule on at least 90 days advance written notice to Buyer and require Buyer at its expense to remove the Tolled Asset from the Seller’s manufacturing facility; or (2) relocate a Tolled Asset to another manufacturing or storage facility of Seller in the same country at its expense on at least 90 days advance written notice to Buyer. Advance written notice will not be required if the cessation of use, removal or relocation of a Tolled Asset is the result of an event of Force Majeure, a material breach of the Agreement by Buyer beyond any permitted or required notice and cure period or material damage to the Tolled Asset requiring capital improvement or capital replacement to restore the Tolled Asset. Seller will endeavor in good faith to provide Buyer with such verbal and written notice as is reasonably practicable under these circumstances.

f.Buyer will, at its expense, remove the Tolled Assets from the manufacturing facilities of Seller within 180 days of the end of the Commitment Period. In addition, Buyer may, at its expense, elect to remove a Tolled Asset from Seller’s facility on commercially reasonable advance verbal and written notice to Seller, and relocate the Tolled Asset to a facility owned or leased by Buyer or its Affiliate for self-manufacture of goods for Buyer and its Affiliates, (i) an event of Force Majeure during which Seller is unable to use the Tolled Asset to supply Products to Buyer and its Affiliates, (ii) during a period that Seller is in material breach of the Agreement beyond any permitted or required notice and cure period, (iii) during a period that Buyer has elected to self-manufacture a Material Deficient Quantity under Section 5 of this Purchase Schedule, or (iv) to allow Buyer to perform capital improvement or capital replacement needed to restore the Tolled Asset.

g.If any Tolled Assets are damaged due to Seller’s negligence or breach of this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for repair of such damage. If any Tolled Assets are damaged by other causes, Buyer shall be responsible for repair of such damage.

h.If Buyer is required or permitted to remove a Tolled Asset under this Section:




(1)Seller will, acting in good faith, specify the day and time for Buyer to remove the Tolled Asset from Seller’s manufacturing facility.

(2)Seller may elect to disassemble, package, store and deliver the removed Tolled Asset to Buyer at the loading dock or storage yard of a manufacturing or storage facility of Seller or Buyer. If Seller makes this election, Seller will not charge Buyer for any disassembly, packaging, storage and delivery of the removed Tolled Asset performed by Seller.

(3)If Buyer fails to remove the Tolled Asset from Seller’s manufacturing facility by the specified removal deadline, Seller may, as its sole remedies, either (i) elect to purchase the Tolled Asset from Buyer any time thereafter by paying Buyer a price of one and no/100 U.S. dollar ($1.00) in “AS-IS, WHERE_IS, WITH ALL FAULT” conditions and without any other representations and warranties; or (ii) arrange for the removal and either the sale or other disposal of the Tolled Asset on behalf of, and at the sole expense, risk and liability of, Buyer as determined by Seller in its sole but good faith discretion.

2.    The Parties and their respective Affiliates supply goods to some of the same customers in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico, but, because of their different business models, the Parties and their respective Affiliates do not currently compete with one another in the sale of those goods.

3.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Pactiv and its Affiliates will not sell products that Pactiv and its Affiliates sell Reynolds and its Affiliates under an MSA, nor goods that compete with those products, directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants (including sales to Amazon and other e-commerce sites of goods for resale in individual consumer quantities bearing UPC codes on the exterior of the packaging), club stores (excluding Restaurant Depot, Smart & Final and Gordon Foodservice Marketplace or club store customers with similar business models) and other retail establishments in the United States of America and Canada for resale to consumers in those countries. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Pactiv and its Affiliates may manufacture goods in Mexico similar to the products that Pactiv and its Affiliates sell Reynolds and its Affiliates under an MSA, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, and sell those goods to HEB and its affiliates in the United States of America and Canada for resale to consumers in those countries.

4.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Reynolds and its Affiliates will not sell products purchased under an MSA from Pactiv and its Affiliates, nor goods that compete with those products, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to businesses that operate restaurants and foodservice establishments, groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants (including sales to Amazon and other e-commerce sites of goods for resale in full case quantities bearing UPC codes on the exterior of the case), club stores and other retail establishments, and egg, meat, poultry, fish, produce, deli, bakery and other food suppliers and processors in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico for use by those businesses in preparing, packaging, selling or serving food for sale to consumers in those countries. By way of clarification, the preceding sentence will not preclude Reynolds and its Affiliates from selling Hefty tableware foam products that Pactiv and its Affiliates manufacture for Reynolds for its sale to Smart & Final and its affiliates in the United States of America.

5.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Reynolds and its Affiliates will not sell products that Reynolds and its Affiliates sell Pactiv and its Affiliates under an MSA, nor goods that compete with those products, directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to businesses that operate restaurants and foodservice establishments, groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants (including sales to Amazon and other e-commerce sites of goods for resale in full case quantities bearing UPC codes on the exterior of the case), club stores and other retail establishments, and egg, meat, poultry, fish, produce, deli, bakery and other food suppliers and processors in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico for use by those businesses in preparing, packaging, selling or serving food for sale to consumers in those countries.

6.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Pactiv and its Affiliates will not sell products purchased under an MSA from Reynolds and its Affiliates, nor goods that compete with those products, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants (including sales to Amazon and other e-commerce sites of goods for resale in individual consumer quantities bearing UPC codes on the exterior of the packaging), club stores (excluding Restaurant Depot, Smart & Final and Gordon Foodservice Marketplace or club store customers with similar business models) and other retail establishments in the United States of America and Canada for resale to consumers in those countries.

7.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Reynolds and its Affiliates will not sell cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups made from plastic, paper or any other raw material aside from aluminum, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to (a) HEB and its affiliates



in the United States of America and Canada for resale to consumers in those countries, or (b) groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants, club stores and other retail establishments in Mexico for resale to consumers in Mexico (“Mexico Retailers”). By way of clarification, the preceding sentence will not preclude Reynolds and its Affiliates from selling: (i) cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups that Pactiv and its Affiliates manufacture for Reynolds for its sale to HEB and its affiliates in the United States of America and Canada and resale by HEB and its affiliates to consumers in those countries, or (ii) goods other than such cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups to HEB and its affiliates in the United States of America and Canada, and Mexico Retailers in Mexico, for resale to consumers in the respective countries.

8.    Notwithstanding the restrictions in the prior Section, if Reynolds or its Affiliate receive an opportunity with a Reynolds multinational customer to sell cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups made from plastic, paper or any other raw material aside from aluminum, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to a Mexico Retailer owned, controlled and operated by the Reynolds multinational customer for resale to consumers in Mexico and Pactiv or its Affiliate is not currently selling the product(s) in question, directly or indirectly, to that Mexico Retailer (a New Business Opportunity”), Reynolds will offer Pactiv the opportunity to supply the product(s) for the New Business Opportunity. In such a circumstance, the Parties will engage in a good faith negotiation and attempt to agree on the pricing and other terms for the purchase and sale of the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity. If the Parties are able to agree on the pricing and other terms for the purchase and sale of the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity, the Parties will sign a Purchase Schedule to the MSA under which Pactiv is Seller and Reynolds is Buyer memorializing the agreement for Pactiv to supply the product(s) for the New Business Opportunity. If the Parties are unable to agree on the pricing and other terms for the purchase and sale of the product(s) in question within thirty (30) days of Pactiv receiving notice from Reynolds of the New Business Opportunity, then Reynolds may elect to self-manufacture the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity or source those product(s) from a competing supplier for the New Business Opportunity. If Reynolds receives and wishes to accept an offer from a competing supplier to supply the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity and the competing offer is for a higher price than Pactiv’s last best offer to Reynolds, Pactiv will have a right of first refusal to match the pricing in the competitor’s offer and supply the product(s) for the New Business Opportunity. Before Reynolds or its Affiliate accepts a competitor’s offer to supply the product(s) in question for the New Business Opportunity, Reynolds will present Pactiv with a true, accurate and complete copy of the competitor’s offer. Pactiv will have thirty (30) days from receipt of the competitor’s offer in which to exercise Pactiv’s right of first refusal under this Section. If Pactiv’s exercises its right of first refusal by notifying Reynolds within the thirty (30) days period, the Parties will sign a Purchase Schedule to the MSA under which Pactiv is Seller and Reynolds is Buyer for the supply of product(s) for the New Business Opportunity at the pricing in the competitor’s offer. If Pactiv does not exercise its right of first refusal by notifying Reynolds within the thirty (30) days period, Reynolds may accept the competitor’s offer and purchase the product(s) in question from the competitor solely for the purpose of reselling them to the Mexico Retailer for the New Business Opportunity. Nothing in this Section will permit Reynolds or its Affiliates to sell cutlery, plates, containers, straws and cups made from plastic, paper or any other raw material aside from aluminum, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to businesses that operate restaurants and foodservice establishments, groceries, supermarkets, convenience stores, mass merchants, club stores and other retail establishments, and egg, meat, poultry, fish, produce, deli, bakery and other food suppliers and processors for use by those businesses in preparing, packaging, selling or serving food for sale to consumers in Mexico.

9.    During the Term of the respective MSAs, Pactiv and its Affiliates will not sell aluminum foil or aluminum containers, either directly or through a distributor or other arrangement with a third-party, to Mexico Retailers for resale to consumers in Mexico. By way of clarification, the preceding sentence will not preclude Seller and its Affiliates from selling goods other than such aluminum foil or aluminum containers to Mexico Retailers for resale to consumers in Mexico.

10.    Except as provided in the prior Sections, nothing in these Restrictions or the MSAs will preclude or restrain the Parties and their Affiliates from being able to competing with one another in the United States of America, Canada, Mexico or any other country.

In witness whereof, Reynolds and Pactiv have executed these Non-Compete Restrictions as of November 1, 2019.

AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE SCHEDULE

This Amendment dated as of January 15, 2022, to the Purchase Schedule dated November 1, 2019 to the Master Supply Agreement dated November 1, 2019 (“Agreement”) between Reynolds Consumer Products LLC (“Seller”) and Pactiv LLC (“Buyer”). The Parties agree as follows:

1.    Capitalized terms and phrases not otherwise defined in this Amendment will have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement, including the Purchase Schedule.

2.    Section 6.b. is modified to add the following paragraph:

Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, for the first calendar quarter of 2022 only, the Price Adjustment Date will be February 1, 2022. The Quarterly Price Period, the Base Measurement Period and the Current Measurement Period will not change. On or before February 15, 2022, the Parties shall agree upon a true-up adjustment amount for the period from January 1, 2022 through January 31, 2022. The true-up adjustment amount shall be the difference between (i) the price per case for a Product from January 1, 2022 through January 31, 2022 and (ii) what the price per case for a Product would have been had the Price Adjustment Date been January 1, 2022.

3.    Section 6.c. is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Annual Price Increase. On January 1, 2020 and on January 1 of each subsequent calendar year of the Commitment Period, the price per case of a Product will be increased by the percentage in the “Annual Price Increase Percentage” column for the Product in the chart in Attachment 1; provided, however, that for the period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, the price per case of a Product will not be increased as provided above, but in lieu of such annual price increase Buyer agrees to pay Seller on January 18th 2022 and on the first day of each subsequent calendar quarter during calendar year 2022, the amount of Two Million, Six Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($2,610,000). Buyer and Seller agree to meet in June 2022 and discuss in good faith whether an adjustment to the quarterly payment is appropriate.

4.    Except as set forth above, the terms of the Agreement, including the Purchase Schedule, remain in full force and effect.

5.    This amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by electronic signature, facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this amendment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this amendment as of the 15th day of January, 2022.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE SCHEDULE

This Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”), dated as of March 31, 2023, amends that certain Purchase Schedule dated November 1, 2019 to the Master Supply Agreement dated November 1, 2019 (“Agreement”), as amended by that certain Amendment to Purchase Schedule dated January 15, 2022 (“First Amendment”), between Pactiv LLC (“Seller”) and Reynolds Consumer Products LLC (“Buyer”). The Parties agree as follows:

1.    Definitions.    Capitalized terms and phrases not otherwise defined in this Second Amendment will have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement, including the Purchase Schedule.

2.    Elimination of SOP References.    Section 3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted, and all references to the SOPs in the Agreement shall be removed. The following references to the SOPs are removed from the Purchase Schedule:

a.    “the SOPs” from Section 3(a);
b.    Section 4(a)(3) to be deleted in its entirety;
c.    “in the SOPs” from line 8 of Section 5(b);
d.    “the SOPs” from line 11 and line 15 of Section 7(d); and
e.    “the SOPs” from line 1 of Section 10.

3.    Term Extension.    Section 2 of the Purchase Schedule is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

This Purchase Schedule will commence on the Effective Date and will end on the earlier of (a) December 31, 2024; or (b) an earlier termination date elected by a Party in a written notice delivered to the other Party as provided in Section 11(d) of the Agreement (the period of this Purchase Schedule is referred to at times as the “Commitment Period”), except that the Commitment Period with respect to polystyrene foam Products sold by Seller to Buyer shall instead extend until the earlier of: (a) December 31, 2027; or (b) the earlier termination date elected by a Party in a written notice delivered to the other Party as provided in Section 11(d) of the Agreement.

4.    Revised COLAs.    Section 6(c) of the Purchase Schedule is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Cost of Living Adjustments for the Period through April 30, 2023. [*].

New Prices Beginning May 1, 2023. Attachment 4 to the Second Amendment to this Purchase Schedule sets forth the prices that shall apply for the sale of Products hereunder on and after May 1, 2023. [*].

Non Raw Material Price Adjustments Beginning [*]. Beginning [*], there will be [*] non-raw material price adjustments [*].

5.    New Foam Production Schedule.    Attachment 2 to this Second Amendment replaces Attachment 2 to the Agreement, with respect to polystyrene foam production as identified by product category by plant location.

6.    Additional Foam Terms.    During each year of the Commitment Period, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the limitations and exclusions in Section 4 of the Purchase Schedule, Buyer is required to purchase [*] pounds of its polystyrene foam Product needs from Seller, with per plant location quantities set forth in Attachment 2, but Buyer is not required to purchase the full



[*] pounds if its business requirements are less. For any Buyer foam needs in excess of [*] pounds, Buyer reserves the right to supplement polystyrene foam purchases from Seller, through third parties or via self-manufacture; provided, however, Buyer shall be responsible for any raw materials, work in progress or finished goods inventory that are unique to those foam Products forecasted for purchase by Buyer (collectively, “WIP”). Notwithstanding the above, as to the [*] pound polystyrene foam purchase requirement, beginning on January 1, 2024, Buyer shall have the right to qualify third party suppliers to provide up to [*] pounds of its polystyrene foam in each calendar year, which amounts shall count against such [*] pound purchase requirement to the extent they do not exceed [*] pounds (the “Qualification Cap”), except that the Qualification Cap may be exceeded to the extent that Buyer has requested such supply from Seller in writing and Seller responds in writing that it is unable or unwilling to provide such supply (any such excess, the “Excess Amount”). Following any year in which Buyer’s purchases of Products from Seller hereunder are below the lesser of [*] pounds or the amount so purchased in the prior year, then Seller shall have the option to revise Attachment 2 to alter the maximum production amounts by location and product to account for such reduction for the remainder of the Commitment Period; provided, that such revision of Attachment 2 does not reduce the aggregate minimum amount across all locations; provided, further, that if any such revision materially increases Buyer’s costs, then the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith mutually agreeable accommodations to address Buyer’s concerns. If, in any given calendar year of the Commitment Period, Buyer purchase less than [*] pounds (which amount shall be reduced by any Excess Amount in any given year) of Product from Seller hereunder and such shortfall (i) is due to weakened market demand, then the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith revisions to the pricing of Products hereunder to address absorption losses by Seller or (ii) is due to Buyer exceeding the Qualification Cap, then Seller shall have the right to fully reprice its portfolio of Products hereunder and the Agreement shall be amended to reflect such repricing. If the Parties are not able to agree on appropriate revisions to the Agreement following repricing discussions under clause (i) of this Section, then Seller shall have the right to terminate the Agreement on 180 days’ prior written notice if such negotiations do not produce an appropriate solution, in its sole discretion, within 60 days. Upon such termination, the only remaining liability of each Party to the other shall be for unpaid purchase price of Products delivered hereunder, and for WIP as provided above, in each case accrued prior to such termination.

7.    Foam Production Maximization.    The Parties agree that portfolio optimization for Buyer, including changes to units per case and count per unit, will be determined by good faith negotiations and mutual agreement and unless agreed will not trigger a change in the price per pound. Tooling for new items will be paid by the Buyer and items will be priced based on rates of comparable items in the portfolio. For example, if Buyer redesigns the rim pattern on a 9” plate, so long as the redesign does not materially impact line time, stack price or weight, then Buyer will pay the existing price for 9” plates.

8    Corrections to Attachments.    On or before April 14, 2023, either Party may request changes to any of the Attachments to this Second Amendment if, in the reasonable opinion of the requesting Party, such changes are necessary to correct an error or clarify an ambiguity in the Attachments. The changes shall be effective if the non-requesting Party consents, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.    No Other Modifications.    Except as set forth above and in the First Amendment to the Restrictions, the terms of the Agreement, including the Purchase Schedule, as amended, remain in full force and effect.

10.    Counterparts.    This Second Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Second Amendment by electronic signature, facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this amendment.
