Corporate Separateness (a) Satisfy, and cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries to satisfy, customary corporate and other formalities, including, as applicable, the holding of regular board of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting, in each case, to the extent required by law and the maintenance of corporate offices and records.
(b) Ensure that (i) no payment is made by it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to a creditor of any Unrestricted Subsidiary in respect of any liability of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, (ii) no bank account of any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be commingled with any bank account of the Borrowers, Holdings or any direct or indirect parent of the Borrowers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, and (iii) any financial statements distributed to any creditors of any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall clearly establish or indicate the corporate separateness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary from the Borrowers, Holdings or any direct or indirect parent of the Borrowers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries.
Maintenance of Corporate Separateness Each Borrower will cause each of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to satisfy customary corporate formalities, including, as applicable, the holding of regular board of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting and the maintenance of corporate offices and records. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall make any payment to a creditor of any Unrestricted Subsidiary in respect of any liability of any Unrestricted Subsidiary except pursuant to any guaranty given by such Borrower or Subsidiary to such creditor pursuant to Section 9.04(xiv), and no bank account or similar account of any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be commingled with any bank account or similar account of Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries. Any financial statements distributed to any creditors of any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall clearly establish or indicate the corporate separateness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary from Silgan and its Subsidiaries. Finally, neither Silgan nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the corporate existence of Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any Unrestricted Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding.

Separateness Covenants Each Originator hereby acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are being entered into in reliance upon the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity separate from such Originator and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each Originator shall take all reasonable steps necessary to make it apparent to third Persons that the Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of such Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of such Originator, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, such Originator shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:
(a) such Originator shall not be involved in the day to day management of the Buyer;
(b) such Originator shall maintain separate records and books of account from the Buyer and otherwise will observe corporate formalities and have a separate area from the Buyer for its business (which may be located at the same address as the Buyer, and, to the extent that it and the Buyer have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and each shall bear its fair share of such expenses);
(c) the financial statements and books and records of such Originator shall be prepared after the date of creation of the Buyer to reflect and shall reflect the separate existence of the Buyer; provided, that the Buyer’s assets and liabilities may be included in a consolidated financial statement issued by an Affiliate of the Buyer; provided, however, that any such consolidated financial statement or the notes thereto shall make clear that the Buyer’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of such Affiliate;
(d) except as permitted by the Receivables Financing Agreement, (i) such Originator shall maintain its assets (including, without limitation, deposit accounts) separately from the assets (including, without limitation, deposit accounts) of the Buyer and (ii) such Originator’s assets, and records relating thereto, have not been, are not, and shall not be, commingled with those of the Buyer;
(e) such Originator shall not act as an agent for the Buyer (except in the capacity of Servicer or a Sub-Servicer);
(f) such Originator shall not conduct any of the business of the Buyer in its own name (except in the capacity of Servicer or a Sub-Servicer);
(g) such Originator shall not pay any liabilities of the Buyer out of its own funds or assets;
(h) such Originator shall maintain an arm’s-length relationship with the Buyer;
(i) such Originator shall not assume or guarantee or become obligated for the debts of the Buyer or hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the obligations of the Buyer;
(j) such Originator shall not acquire obligations of the Buyer (other than the Intercompany Loan Agreement and the Intercompany Loans);
(k) such Originator shall allocate fairly and reasonably overhead or other expenses that are properly shared with the Buyer, including, without limitation, shared office space;
(l) such Originator shall identify and hold itself out as a separate and distinct entity from the Buyer;
(m) such Originator shall correct any known misunderstanding respecting its separate identity from the Buyer;
(n) such Originator shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with the Buyer, except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are intrinsically fair and not less favorable to it than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party;
(o) such Originator shall not pay the salaries of the Buyer’s employees, if any; and
(p) to the extent not already covered in paragraphs (a) through (o) above, such Originator shall comply and/or act in accordance with all of the other separateness covenants set forth in Section 8.03 of the Receivables Financing Agreement.
