PREGIS CORPORATION
Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2013
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. Interest. Interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April
15, July 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 2009. The interest rate for each quarterly
interest period will be determined on the second Business Day prior to the first day of the
interest period (the “Interest Determination Date”). The interest rate for such quarterly period
will be equal to the EURIBOR rate, as determined at 11:00 a.m. London time, on the Interest
Determination Date, for deposits maturing at or around the end of such quarterly interest period,
plus 5.00% per year (as reported by the Calculation Agent). The Company will make each interest
payment to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding January 1, April 1, July 1 and
October 1. Any Additional Interest due will be paid on the same dates as interest on the Notes.
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already
been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months.
“EURIBOR” means the applicable percentage rate for EURIBOR per annum as determined by the
Banking Federation of the European Union for the relevant period as displayed on the appropriate
page of the Telerate screen; or, if no screen rate is available for the applicable interest period,
the arithmetic mean of the rates (rounded upwards to four decimal places) as supplied to the
Trustee at its request quoted by the reference banks under the Credit Agreement to leading banks in
the European interbank market, in each case as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the rate
determination date, for the offering of deposits in euro for a period comparable to the quarterly
interest period for which the rate is being set.
2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest)
to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 1, April
1, July 1 and October 1 next preceding the interest payment date, even if such Notes are canceled
after such record date and on or before such interest payment date, except as provided in Section
2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to
principal, interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, at the offices or agencies of one
or more Paying Agents and Registrars maintained for such purpose in The City of New York, New York
and Dublin, Ireland, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest, may be made by check
mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that
payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to the
principal of, and premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes
and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the
Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in euro.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee under the Indenture shall initially act as Paying
Agent and Registrar and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx shall initially act as Paying Agent in Ireland. The Company
may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the
A-6
Holders, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates may act as Paying
Agent or Registrar.
4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of October 12, 2005,
as supplemented (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors parties thereto, the Trustee,
the Collateral Agent and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (as Irish Paying Agent). The terms of the Notes include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are
referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision
of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the
Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued
provides that an unlimited principal amount of Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.
5. Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem (at any time) all or (from time to time) a
portion of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at 100.00% of the
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon, to the
applicable redemption date.
6. Selection and Notice of Redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at
any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption as follows: (i) if the Notes are listed on
any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, in compliance with the requirements
of such national securities exchange or automated quotation system; or (ii) if the Notes are not so
listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.
No Notes of €1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part; provided that no Notes will be redeemed in
part if the resulting Note would have a minimum denomination that is less than €50,000. Notices of
redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of
redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note
shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes
called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption
date, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption shall cease to accrue interest.
7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each
Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to
€50,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s
Notes pursuant to an offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of
Control Payment Date”), which date shall be no earlier than the date of such Change of Control. No
later than 30 days following any Change of Control (or, at the Company’s option, prior to such
Change of Control but after it is publicly announced if a definitive agreement is in effect for
such Change of Control at the time of such announcement), the Company shall mail a notice to each
Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and
offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in such
A-7
notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date
such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such
notice.
(b) If the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $20.0 million, the Company
shall make an offer to purchase (“Asset Sale Offer”), pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Indenture, to
all Holders of Notes and all holders of Pari Passu Debt containing provisions similar to those set
forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase with the proceeds of sales of assets to
purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased out of the
Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes and Pari Passu Debt, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds
remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and
Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
Notes and Pari Passu Debt shall be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal
amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Debt tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the
Excess Proceeds subject to such Asset Sale shall no longer be deemed to be Excess Proceeds.
8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of €50,000 principal amount and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The
transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange
any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any
Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.
9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as the owner of it
for all purposes.
10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Note
Guarantees, the Notes or the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange
offer for, Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the
Notes or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Without the consent
of any Holder of Notes, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the
Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents, to, among other things, cure
any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or make any change that does not materially adversely
affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder.
A-8
11. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default under Sections 6.01(h) and (i)
of the Indenture, all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company
specifying the Event of Default.
Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents except
as provided in the Indenture and the Security Documents. Subject to certain limitations, Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any
Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal, premium or interest or Additional Interest, if any) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest.
In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action or inaction
taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the
premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes
pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Indenture, an equivalent premium shall also become and be
immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.
12. Collateral. The obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Guarantors under their
respective Note Guarantees are secured by a second priority security interest on all property and
assets of the Company and the Guarantors constituting Collateral.
13. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with the
Company or any of its Affiliates, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
14. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder,
member, manager or partner of the Company, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, as
such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the
Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting
a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities
under the federal securities laws.
15. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
16. CUSIP Numbers, ISIN Numbers and Common Codes. The Company has caused CUSIP numbers, ISIN
numbers and/or Common Codes to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers, ISIN
numbers or Common Codes in notices of redemption as a
A-9
convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers or codes
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
17. Guarantee. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
18. Copies of Documents. The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and
without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:
