RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Lenders have entered into a Secured Credit Agreement
dated as of April 23, 2001 (the "SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT"), as amended by that
certain First Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement and Consent dated as of
December 31, 2001 (the "FIRST AMENDMENT AND CONSENT") with certain subsidiaries
of Company and Packaging as Borrowers and with Company as guarantor pursuant to
Section 9 thereof and ▇▇▇▇▇-Illinois General, Inc., as Borrowers' Agent (the
Secured Credit Agreement, as so amended and as more particularly defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement, is referred to herein as the "CREDIT AGREEMENT");
WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement permits Indebtedness from time to time
issued constituting New Senior Debt to be secured by the Domestic Collateral
under the Domestic Collateral Documents and permits such Indebtedness to
constitute "Senior Secured Obligations" under the Intercreditor Agreement,
provided that the holders of any such issue of New Senior Debt cause their New
Senior Debt Representative to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an
acknowledgment to the Intercreditor Agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms
thereof (which acknowledgment must be acknowledged by the Borrower's Agent);
WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is issuing certain 8
7/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 in the aggregate principal amount of
$1,000,000,000 (together with any subsequent issuance of notes consituting the
same series of notes as the 8 7/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 pursuant to the
same indenture on substantially identical terms the Net Debt Securities Proceeds
of which are applied to repay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4A(ii)(e) of
the Credit Agreement or as otherwise required thereby, in each case together
with any guarantees thereof and any notes and guarantees issued in exchange
therefor or replacement thereof containing substantially identical terms, the
"NEW 2002 SENIOR NOTES") which New 2002 Senior Notes constitute New Senior Debt
(subject, with respect to any subsequent issuance of notes (but not any exchange
notes) described above, to Administrative Agent's determination in its
reasonable judgment that the terms and conditions of such notes are
substantially comparable to those prevailing in the market place for comparable
debt issuances) and desires to have such New 2002 Senior Notes constitute Senior
Secured Obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement and to secure the
obligations in respect of such New 2002 Senior Notes by certain of the
1
Domestic Collateral;
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the issuance of the New 2002 Senior
Notes, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has obtained, pursuant to the First Amendment and Consent,
the consent of the Requisite Lenders and the Requisite Obligees, as applicable,
to the Collateral Agent's and Lender Agent's amendment of the Collateral
Documents to eliminate or defer the provision of certain Domestic Collateral as
security for the New 2002 Senior Notes, which Domestic Collateral would
otherwise secure the obligations in respect of such New 2002 Senior Notes upon
their issuance and the execution of a counterpart to the Intercreditor Agreement
by the New Senior Debt Representative and Borrower's Agent and the application
of the Net Debt Securities Proceeds arising from the issuance of the New 2002
Senior Notes to repay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4A(ii)(e) of the
Credit Agreement, and to the Collateral Agent's and the Lender Agent's amendment
of the Intercreditor Agreement to account for such exclusion or deferral of such
Domestic Collateral as security for the New 2002 Senior Notes; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Intercreditor Agreement as
set forth herein to implement the provisions of the First Amendment and Consent.
