(i) any and all Liabilities to the extent arising out of or relating to the Intercompany Agreements or any other intercompany obligations between Seller and any of its Affiliates, or Rexam and any of its Affiliates other than the Assumed Liabilities set forth in Section 1.3(j);

(j) any and all Off-Site Environmental Liabilities relating to Hazardous Materials that have been transported to an Off-Site Location prior to the Closing Date, provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that this does not apply to Off-Site Environmental Liabilities of the Purchased Entities;

(k) any other Liabilities set forth on Schedule 1.4(k); and

(l) any other Liabilities of the Seller Entities, the Rexam Entities or any of their respective Affiliates other than Assumed Liabilities.

1.5 Purchase Price. In consideration for the Purchased Assets and other obligations of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall (a) pay to Seller, on behalf of the Seller Entities and Rexam Entities, the Closing Purchase Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds and (b) assume the Assumed Liabilities. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Purchase Price” means (i) the Base Purchase Price, minus (ii) the amount of Net Debt (or plus the amount of any negative Net Debt), if any, plus (iii) the amount, if any, by which the Purchased Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Target, minus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Purchased Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target (the amount of any such adjustment to the Base Purchase Price, the “Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount”). If required by applicable Law, the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the Purchased Entities located in Brazil will be paid in Brazilian Reais.

1.6 Net Debt/Working Capital Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Section 1.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth, for illustrative purposes only, a calculation of the Net Debt and Purchased Working Capital as of December 31, 2015 (the “Sample Closing Statement”), prepared and calculated using the line items and in accordance with the policies, procedures, principles and methods set forth on Exhibit A (the “Closing Statement Methodologies”).

(b) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth a good faith estimate of the Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount as of the Closing Date (such estimate, the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”) and the calculation of such Estimated Adjustment Amount, including an estimate of the Net Debt and the Purchased Working Capital (estimated as of the Closing Date). The Closing Statement shall be in the format set forth in the Sample Closing Statement and prepared and calculated in accordance with the Closing Statement Methodologies, in each case unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser. Until two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may propose, and Seller will consider in good faith but is under no obligation to agree to, revisions to such calculation of the Estimated Adjustment Amount. Unless Seller agrees to any such changes, the Closing Statement delivered by Seller shall be used for purposes of calculating the Estimated Adjustment Amount.

(c) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or if only the First Closing shall have occurred but either or both the France Closing or the Dutch Closing shall not have occurred, within ninety (90) days after the last to occur of the France Closing or the Dutch Closing, as applicable), Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and deliver to Seller a post-closing statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”), setting forth the actual Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount, calculated as of the Closing Date, and the calculation of the Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount, including the Net Debt and the Purchased Working Capital (in each case, calculated as of the Closing Date). The Post-Closing Statement shall be in the format set forth in the Sample Closing Statement and prepared and calculated in accordance with the Closing Statement Methodologies, in each case unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser.

(d) Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees (i) to reasonably assist the other in the preparation and/or review of the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Statement and the related determination of the Estimated Adjustment Amount, the actual Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount and the Purchase Price; (ii) that Seller shall, after the delivery to Purchaser of the Closing Statement, and Purchaser shall, after the delivery to Seller of the Post-Closing Statement until the earlier of (x) the date Seller delivers an Objections Statement or (y) forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Post-Closing Statement to Seller, provide the other and its Representatives, upon the reasonable request of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, with reasonable access during normal business hours to its books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities and management for purposes of the review of the Closing Statement or the Post-Closing Statement, as applicable, and the related determinations of the Estimated Adjustment Amount, the actual Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount and the Purchase Price, and (iii) to reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with such reviews and determinations.

(e) If Seller has any objections to any amounts reflected in the Post-Closing Statement, Seller will deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), which statement will identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which Seller objects and set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such objection (the “Disputed Items”), and Purchaser and Seller will attempt to resolve and finally determine and agree upon the Disputed Items as promptly as practicable. If an Objections Statement is not

delivered to Purchaser within forty-five (45) days after receipt by Seller of the Post-Closing Statement, the Post-Closing Statement as prepared by Purchaser will be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. Seller and Purchaser will negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Purchaser (as such thirty (30)-day period may be extended to the extent agreed by Seller and Purchaser in writing), Seller and Purchaser will submit any unresolved Disputed Items to Deloitte LLP (the “Arbiter”). The proposed representative of the Arbiter shall be reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. In the event Seller and Purchaser submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Arbiter, each of them will submit a Post-Closing Statement together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Arbiter within ten (10) days after the date on which the Arbiter executes an engagement letter for purposes of resolving the Disputed Items. Seller and Purchaser will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbiter to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Arbiter receives the Post-Closing Statements prepared by Seller and Purchaser, or as soon thereafter as practicable. Seller and Purchaser shall instruct the Arbiter to make a written determination of each Disputed Item within thirty (30) days after being appointed or as soon thereafter as practicable. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Arbiter shall be instructed not to assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Seller or Purchaser or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Seller or Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbiter to notify them in writing of its resolution of such dispute as soon as practicable. The determination of the Arbiter with respect to each Disputed Item will, in the absence of manifest error, be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties and shall be a final arbitral award that may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Arbiter. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter will be paid by the Party whose positions generally did not prevail in the Arbiter’s resolution of the dispute, or if the Arbiter determines that no Party could be fairly found to be the prevailing Party, then such fees, costs and expenses will be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser.

(f) (i) If the Closing Purchase Price, solely for this purpose calculated by applying the Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount (as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) or Section 1.6(e)) in lieu of the Estimated Adjustment Amount, is less than the Closing Purchase Price actually paid pursuant to Section 1.12(a)(i), then the Base Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by the amount of such shortfall, and Seller shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such shortfall to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Purchaser to Seller. Any such payment is to be made within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6.

(ii) If the Closing Purchase Price, solely for this purpose calculated by applying the Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount (as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c) or Section 1.6(e)) in lieu of the Estimated Adjustment Amount, is greater than the Closing Purchase Price actually paid pursuant to Section 1.12(a)(i), then the Base Purchase Price will be adjusted upward by the amount of such excess, and Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such excess to Seller

by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller to Purchaser. Any such payment is to be made within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Net Debt/Working Capital Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6.

1.7 Manner of Transfer. The Parties acknowledge that, in order to facilitate the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser, the Seller Entities, the Rexam Entities and their respective Affiliates may transfer some or substantially all of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities to one (1) or more of the Purchased Entities. In such case, each Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability so transferred to a Purchased Entity shall not be transferred to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1 or Section 1.3, respectively, but instead shall be transferred to Purchaser by virtue of the transfer of the Purchased Equity. If any such transfer is not in accordance with the Restructuring Steps Plan, or if Purchaser does not consent in writing to such transfer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), then Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities after Closing) harmless from any Loss or incremental Taxes suffered or incurred by any of them as a result of or arising out of or relating to any such action taken by the Seller Entities, the Rexam Entities or any of their respective Affiliates.

1.8 Foreign Acquisition Agreement. The transfer of each Purchased Entity organized in a jurisdiction in which local Laws require observance of specified formalities or procedures to legally effect a transfer of such entity, asset or liability will be effected pursuant to short-form acquisition agreements (the “Foreign Acquisition Agreements”) on a country-by-country basis. Each Foreign Acquisition Agreement shall be in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, except for: (i) the deletion of provisions which are inapplicable to such Purchased Entity; (ii) such changes as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of applicable local Law; and (iii) such changes as may be reasonably agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser, including regarding employees and employee benefit matters in order to adapt such agreement to the particular circumstances of the relevant Purchased Entity and country; provided, in each case that the Foreign Acquisition Agreements shall serve purely to effect and make enforceable vis-à-vis third parties the transfer of the legal and beneficial title to the applicable Purchased Equity and shall not have any significant effect on the value being received by Purchaser or given by Seller, including the allocation of assets and Liabilities as between them, all of which shall be determined by this Agreement.

1.9 Works Council/Consultation Matters.

(a) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that, (i) under French labor Laws, one or more works’ councils of Ball Packaging Europe France S.A.S. and Ball Trading France S.A.S. (the “French Entities”) will need to be informed and consulted with respect to the Restructuring and the offer made by Purchaser to acquire the entire share capital and voting rights of Divest Trading France S.A.S., Divest Manufacturing France S.A.S. and Ball Trading Spain S.L. (collectively, the “French and Spanish Entities” and such share capital voting rights, collectively, the “French and Spanish Shares”) and (ii) under Dutch labor Laws, the works’ council of Ball Packaging Europe Oss B.V. and Ball Trading Netherlands B.V. (the “Dutch Entities”) will need to be informed and consulted with respect to the Restructuring and the offer made by Purchaser to acquire the entire share capital and voting rights of the Dutch Entities (collectively, the “Dutch

Shares”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without prejudice to clause (z) of the proviso to Section 1.11(b), (1) unless and until Seller has executed and delivered to Purchaser the France Acceptance Notice, the French and Spanish Entities will not be considered Purchased Entities and the French Seller Entities will not be considered Seller Entities for the purpose of this Agreement, and, if no such France Acceptance Notice is delivered prior to First Closing, the Closing Purchase Price shall be reduced by the France Purchase Price, and (2) unless and until Seller has executed and delivered to Purchaser the Dutch Acceptance Notice, the Dutch Entities will not be considered Purchased Entities and (with respect to the Dutch Entities only) the Dutch Seller Entity will not be considered a Seller Entity for the purpose of this Agreement, and, if no such Dutch Acceptance Notice is delivered prior to First Closing, the Closing Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Dutch Purchase Price.

(b) On the terms and conditions set forth in the offer letter attached as Exhibit G hereto (the “French Offer Letter” and the offer set forth therein, the “French Offer”), including the price specified therein (the “France Purchase Price”), Purchaser has irrevocably offered to acquire the French and Spanish Shares (within the time limit set forth therein) and to have the provisions of this Agreement apply to such French and Spanish Shares following completion of the consultation process described in Section 1.9(a)(i). Subject to acceptance of the French Offer by Seller following completion of the consultation process described in Section 1.9(a)(i), and upon delivery to Purchaser of the executed acceptance notice attached as Schedule 2 to the French Offer Letter (the “France Acceptance Notice”), this Agreement shall apply to the French and Spanish Shares and, save as set forth in clause (z) of the proviso to Section 1.11(b), the French and Spanish Entities shall be included in the Purchased Entities. On the France Closing, shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the France Purchase Price and the Foreign Closing Documents relating to the French and Spanish shares in the manner set forth in Section 1.12.

(c) On the terms and conditions set forth in the offer letter attached as Exhibit H hereto (the “Dutch Offer Letter” and the offer set forth therein, the “Dutch Offer”), including the price specified therein (the “Dutch Purchase Price”), Purchaser has irrevocably offered to acquire the Dutch Shares (within the time limit set forth therein) and to have the provisions of this Agreement apply to such Dutch Shares following completion of the consultation process described in Section 1.9(a)(ii). Subject to acceptance of the Dutch Offer by Seller following completion of the consultation process described in Section 1.9(a)(ii) and upon delivery to Purchaser of the executed acceptance notice attached as Schedule 2 to the Dutch Offer Letter (the “Dutch Acceptance Notice”), this Agreement shall apply to the Dutch Shares and, save as set forth in clause (z) of the proviso to Section 1.11(b), the Dutch Entities shall be included in the Purchased Entities. On the Dutch Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Dutch Purchase Price and the Foreign Closing Documents relating to the Dutch Shares in the manner set forth in Section 1.12.

(d) Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with each other and any relevant Affiliates in connection with the applicable consultation processes described in this Section 1.9, including (i) Purchaser timely providing any required information relating to Purchaser, or to any measures envisaged by Purchaser or as otherwise reasonably requested by Seller in respect of or for the purpose of such consultation processes and (ii) Seller keeping Purchaser informed of the status of such consultation and any material developments so far as they relate to the French Entities or the Dutch Entities. Without Purchaser’s prior written

consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Seller shall not (and shall cause the French entities and the Dutch entities not to) enter into any material agreement with, or make any material commitment to, the relevant works council which would bind or impose any material obligation on Purchaser, the French Entities or the Dutch Entities after the Closing; provided; however; for the avoidance of doubt, that Purchaser’s consent shall not be required with respect to any matter affecting only employees of Seller who are not Business Employees. If, as a result of any such consultation processes, changes to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, or further arrangements in connection with the Transaction, are considered necessary by Seller, Seller shall negotiate in good faith with Purchaser on such changes (if any) to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or further arrangements (if any) in connection with the Transaction that are appropriate, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the French Offer Letter and/or the Dutch Offer Letter (as applicable).

(e) Seller and Purchaser shall, and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Rexam to, cooperate in connection with any notification to, or any consultation with, employees of Seller, Rexam or of their Affiliates who are not included in or covered by the notice and consultation processes referred to in Section 1.9(d) and who might be affected by the Restructuring or the Transaction and such employees’ Employee Representative Bodies, labor boards and relevant government agencies concerning the Restructuring and the Transaction, whether required by Law or otherwise undertaken by Seller, Rexam or their Affiliates. Purchaser shall timely provide Seller and its relevant Affiliates any information required or reasonably requested by Seller or Rexam relating to Purchaser and its plans for employees in connection with any such notification or consultation. Prior to the Closing Date, all communications between Purchaser and any Employee Representative Body or group of Business Employees shall be coordinated and agreed with the Person(s) set forth on Schedule 1.9(e).

1.10 Tax Treatment of Purchase Price.

(a) Seller shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser to assist Purchaser in obtaining information reasonably necessary for Purchaser to prepare the Preliminary Allocation (as defined in subsection (b) below). Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser such information available to Seller (or which Seller may obtain through commercially reasonable efforts) within seven (7) days following written request by Purchaser to assist Purchaser in preparing the Preliminary Allocation.

(b) No later than thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver a draft allocation of the Purchase Price among the Conveyed Purchased Entities set forth in Schedule 10.1(b) and the other Purchased Assets to be sold directly by Seller and the Rexam Entities to Purchaser and its designated Affiliates hereunder (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Purchased Assets to the extent held indirectly held by a Conveyed Purchased Entity) (the “Preliminary Allocation”). If Seller disagrees with the Preliminary Allocation, Seller may, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Preliminary Allocation, deliver a notice (the “Seller’s Allocation Notice”) to Purchaser to such effect, specifying those items as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s proposed allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall, during the fifteen (15) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the

allocation of the Purchase Price. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Arbiter to resolve any remaining disputed items, if reasonably practicable, at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing. The Preliminary Allocation as prepared by Purchaser if no Seller’s Allocation Notice has been given, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between Seller and Purchaser or as determined by the Arbiter (the “Closing Allocation”) shall be conclusive and used by the Parties for purposes of the Closing. If the Closing Allocation is not determined prior to the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be allocated for purposes of the Closing in accordance with the Preliminary Allocation, or such other allocation as Purchaser and Seller agree to in writing for purposes of the Closing (and adjustments shall be made thereafter as agreed or determined by the Arbiter to reflect any differences between such allocation and the Closing Allocation).

(c) Seller and Purchaser agree to further apportion and, as applicable, to cause their relevant Affiliates to further apportion, the Purchase Price (as allocated in the Closing Allocation) and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax purposes among the Purchased Assets (including among the Purchased Equity) in a manner consistent with the Closing Allocation and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable rules in the jurisdiction in which the Purchased Assets are located (the “Apportionment Principles”) and the procedures as set forth herein. No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a proposed apportionment of the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax purposes as of the Closing Date determined in a manner consistent with the Closing Allocation and the Apportionment Principles (the “Interim Apportionment”). If Seller disagrees with the Interim Apportionment, Seller may, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Interim Apportionment, deliver a notice (the “Seller’s Apportionment Notice”) to Purchaser to such effect, specifying those items as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s proposed apportionment.

(d) If the Seller’s Apportionment Notice is duly delivered, Seller and Purchaser shall, during the fifteen (15) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax purposes. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Arbiter to resolve any remaining disputes. Any apportionment of the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax purposes determined pursuant to the decision of the Arbiter shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with the Apportionment Principles and the Closing Allocation. The Interim Apportionment, as prepared by Purchaser if the Seller’s Apportionment Notice has not been given, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between Seller and Purchaser or as determined by the Arbiter (the “Final Apportionment”), shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. No Party shall (and each shall cause their respective Affiliates not to) take any position inconsistent with the Final Apportionment on any Tax Return or in any Tax proceeding, in each case (i) except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign law) or pursuant to any other applicable Laws or (ii) without the consent of the other Party. Any subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price including pursuant to Section 1.6 shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in a manner that is consistent with the Final Apportionment.

1.11 Closing.

(a) The Closing shall take place at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, 0 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, on the same day as the date on which the Rexam Transaction is consummated (but after the consummation of the Rexam Transaction); provided that if each of the conditions set forth in Article VII (excluding conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) shall not have been satisfied as of such date, then the Closing shall occur on the first (1st) Business Day after such conditions shall have been satisfied or waived, or at such other time or date as Purchaser and Seller may mutually agree in writing (the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that in order to comply with applicable Law in the jurisdictions where the Purchased Assets are located, the Closing may take place at a different date and time in different jurisdictions. In particular, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) conditions to the transfer of (x) the French and Spanish Shares set forth in the French Offer Letter or (y) the Dutch Shares set forth in the Dutch Offer Letter may, in each case, be satisfied after the conditions to the transfer of other Purchased Assets set forth in Article VII have been satisfied and in any such case Closing shall take place with respect to all Purchased Assets other than the French and Spanish Shares and/or Dutch Shares, as applicable (the “First Closing”), and (ii) (x) the consummation of the sale of the French and Spanish Shares (the “France Closing”) shall occur in accordance with the terms of the French Offer Letter and (y) the consummation of the sale of the Dutch Shares (the “Dutch Closing”) shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Dutch Offer Letter. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that (1) subject to the subsequent clause (2) of this sentence, all actions and documents relating to the transfer of the French and Spanish Shares and/or the Dutch Shares, as applicable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Foreign Closing Documents relating to the French and Spanish Shares and/or the Dutch Shares, as applicable), shall not be required to be taken or delivered at the First Closing but only at the France Closing and/or the Dutch Closing, as applicable; (2) all references to Net Debt, Purchased Working Capital and any other items taken into account in the Purchase Price adjustment in accordance with this Agreement shall not be adjusted to reflect the exclusion of the French and Spanish Shares and the Dutch Shares, as applicable, at the First Closing but shall be reflected as if the France Closing and the Dutch Closing shall have occurred at the First Closing; and (3) unless otherwise indicated in this Section 1.11(b), all references to the Closing in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the First Closing. To the extent that the France Closing and/or the Dutch Closing shall not have occurred simultaneously with the First Closing, the covenants set forth in Article IV (other than Sections 4.2, 4.3(d), 4.4, 4.5, 4.9, 4.10, 4.12, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20) shall apply with respect to the French and Spanish Entities or the Dutch Entities (as applicable) from the date of the France Acceptance Notice or Dutch Acceptance Notice (as applicable) until the France Closing or Dutch Closing (as applicable); provided, however, that (y) in no event shall any violation of such covenants during the period following the First Closing until the France Closing or Dutch Closing (as applicable) affect the requirement to effect the France Closing or Dutch Closing (as applicable) but shall only result, if applicable, in a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i)(i)(B) or Section 9.2(b)(i)(B), as applicable, and (z) for the purposes of the covenants set forth in Section 4.7 only, the French and Spanish Entities and Dutch Entities shall be deemed to be Purchased Entities only upon occurrence of the France closing and Dutch Closing (as applicable).

(c) Subject to Section 1.11(b), for the purposes of this Agreement and unless Purchaser and Seller agree otherwise, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 12:01 A.M. local time in each applicable jurisdiction on the Closing Date, or, if the Rexam Transaction shall have been consummated on the Closing Date, one minute after consummation of the Rexam Transaction.

1.12 Closing Deliveries. At the Closing,

(ix) a duly executed counterpart of each Lease Assignment and Assumption Agreement; and

(x) a receipt for the Closing Purchase Price.

1.13 Non-Assignment; Consents.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, assign, transfer, convey or deliver a Purchased Asset or for Purchaser to assume an Assumed Liability if a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, delivery or assumption thereof (i) would be prohibited by Law or (ii) would, without the approval, authorization or consent of, filing with, notification to, or granting or issuance of any order, waiver or Permit by, any relevant Person (collectively, “Approvals”), (A) constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or of any Contract related to the Business or (B) be ineffective, void or voidable, in the case of each of clause (A) and (B) unless and until such Approval is obtained.

(b) If the Closing occurs and the circumstances described in Section 1.13(a) exist, Seller and Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any Approval required to sell, assign or transfer any Purchased Asset to Purchaser and to obtain the unconditional release of the Seller Entities and/or the Rexam Entities so that Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the Assumed Liabilities; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall obligate or in any way require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to expend money, commence any litigation or offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party in connection with obtaining any Approval. Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed in a timely manner as to all material developments regarding the Approvals and the Purchased Assets. If any such Approval is not obtained prior to Closing, then from the Closing through the earlier of (i) such time as such Approval or Approvals are obtained and (ii) December 31, 2018, Seller and Purchaser will put in place any arrangement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller (with any appropriate “firewalls” or similar procedures required under applicable Competition/Investment Laws) intended to both (x) provide Purchaser, to the fullest extent practicable, the claims, rights and benefits of any such Purchased Assets (including by means of any contract manufacturing, co-packing, subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement) and (y) cause Purchaser to bear all Assumed Liabilities thereunder in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to Customer Contracts included in the Purchased Assets (including Shared Contracts described in Section 1.13(c)), Seller shall, if not prohibited by applicable regulatory authorities pursuant to Competition/Investment Law, seek to substitute approximately equivalent volume if the customer party to the applicable Customer Contract does not provide Approval prior to Closing. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, at the request (and for the benefit) of Purchaser, any rights of Seller, the Seller Entities, Rexam or the Rexam Entities, as applicable, arising from any such Purchased Asset to the extent such rights are related to the Business.

(c) Any Contract to be assigned, transferred and conveyed in accordance with Section 1.1(b)(i) (or that would be indirectly conveyed to Purchaser under Section 1.1(a)(i)) that is not exclusively related to the Business (each, a “Shared Contract”) shall be assigned, transferred and conveyed only with respect to (and preserving the meaning of) those parts that relate to the Business to the extent so related to the Business, to Purchaser, if so assignable, transferable or conveyable, or appropriately amended or split prior to or on the Closing, so that at the Closing (x) Purchaser shall be entitled to the rights and benefits of those parts of the Shared Contract that relate to the Business and shall assume the related portion of any Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement (the “Purchaser Portion of the Shared Contract Liabilities”) and

(y) Seller (or its applicable Affiliate) shall be entitled to the rights and benefits of those parts of the Shared Contract other than those related to the Business and shall assume or retain the related portion of any Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement (the “Seller Portion of the Shared Contract Liabilities”); provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any Person be required to assign (or amend or split), either in its entirety or in part, any Shared Contract that is not assignable (or cannot be amended or split) by its terms without obtaining required Approvals and (ii) if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned or split by its terms or otherwise, or cannot be amended, without such Approval or Approvals, then (subject to the regulatory requirements described in Section 1.13(b)) from the Closing through the earlier of (1) such time as such Approval or Approvals are obtained, and (2) December 31, 2018, Seller and Purchaser will establish an agency, contract manufacturing, co-packing or other similar arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (with any appropriate “firewalls” or similar procedures required under applicable Competition/Investment Laws) intended (I) with respect to Shared Contracts other than those that are indirectly conveyed to Purchaser under Section 1.1(b)(i), to both (x) provide Purchaser, to the fullest extent practicable under such Shared Contract, the claims, rights and benefits of those parts that relate to the Business (including by means of any contract manufacturing, co-packing, subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement) and (y) cause Purchaser to bear the Assumed Liabilities thereunder from and after the Closing in accordance with this Agreement to the extent that Purchaser receives the rights and benefits of the parts of the Shared Contracts that relate to the Business and (II) with respect to Shared Contracts that are indirectly conveyed to Purchaser under Section 1.1(b)(i), to both (x) provide Seller (or its applicable Affiliate), to the fullest extent practicable under such Shared Contract, the claims, rights and benefits of those parts that do not relate to the Business (including by means of any contract manufacturing, co-packing, subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement) and (y) cause Seller (or its applicable Affiliate) to bear the Excluded Liabilities thereunder from and after the Closing in accordance with this Agreement to the extent that Seller (or its applicable Affiliate) receives the rights and benefits of the parts of the Shared Contracts that do not relate to the Business. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Purchaser will promptly pay, perform or discharge when due any Assumed Liability arising thereunder after the Closing Date to the extent that Purchaser receives the rights and benefits of the parts of such Shared Contracts that relate to the Business and (ii) Seller (or its applicable Affiliate) will promptly pay, perform or discharge when due any Excluded Liability arising thereunder after the Closing Date to the extent that Seller (or its applicable Affiliate) receives the rights and benefits of the parts of such Shared Contracts that do not relate to the Business. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, at the request (and for the benefit) of Purchaser, any rights of Seller, the Seller Entities, Rexam or the Rexam Entities, as applicable, arising from the portion of any Shared Contract that is not assigned or transferred to Purchaser to the extent such rights are related to the Business. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, at the request (and for the benefit) of Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, arising from the portion of any Shared Contract that is not assigned or transferred to (or otherwise retained by) Seller or its Affiliates to the extent such rights are not related to the Business.

(d) To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law (and to the extent consistent with the relevant arrangement agreed to by Seller and Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.13(b) or 1.13(c)), Seller and Purchaser agree to treat and report, and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat and report, on their Tax Returns, (i) the Purchased Assets that are

subject to the provisions of this Section 1.13 (the “Non-Transferred Purchaser Assets”) as assets owned by Purchaser or its Affiliates and (ii) the Excluded Assets that are subject to the provisions of this Section 1.13 (the “Non-Transferred Seller Assets”) as assets owned by Seller or its Affiliates. Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees to notify the other Party promptly in writing if it determines that such treatment (to the extent consistent with the relevant arrangement agreed to by Seller and Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.13(b) or 1.13(c)) is not permitted under applicable Laws. Where such treatment is not permitted under applicable Law, and subject to the terms of any relevant arrangement agreed to by Seller and Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.13(b) or 1.13(c), (i) the amount of the Taxes imposed on Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Non-Transferred Purchaser Asset for any Post-Closing Tax Period, if any, for which Purchaser is responsible shall be calculated on a “with and without” basis and Purchaser shall pay such amounts over to Seller and (ii) the amount of the Taxes imposed on Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Non-Transferred Seller Asset for any Post-Closing Tax Period, if any, for which Seller is responsible shall be calculated on a “with and without” basis and Seller shall pay such amounts over to Purchaser. Seller shall provide, and shall cause its Affiliates to provide, Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review the relevant portion of any applicable Tax Returns relating to any Non-Transferred Purchaser Assets (and accompanying schedules, calculations and other reasonably requested work papers) as necessary for determining the amount of such Taxes; provided however, that, in the case of Tax Returns of Seller, Rexam or any of their Affiliates (or of a consolidated, combined, unitary or Tax group including any of them), Seller may, in lieu of delivering the Tax Returns, deliver to Purchaser pro-forma statements setting forth in sufficient detail the information relevant for determining the amount of such Taxes. Purchaser shall provide, and shall cause its Affiliates to provide, Seller with a reasonable opportunity to review the relevant portion of any applicable Tax Returns relating to any Non-Transferred Seller Assets (and accompanying schedules, calculations and other reasonably requested work papers) as necessary for determining the amount of such Taxes; provided however, that, in the case of Tax Returns of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (or of a consolidated, combined, unitary or Tax group including any of them), Purchaser may, in lieu of delivering the Tax Returns, deliver to Seller pro-forma statements setting forth in sufficient detail the information relevant for determining the amount of such Taxes. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach an agreement in respect of any dispute concerning the amount of such Taxes, they shall promptly submit any such dispute for resolution to the Arbiter. All costs and expenses of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser.

1.14 Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any and all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under any applicable Tax Law (taking into account any administrative guidance issued by any Taxing Authority), provided that Purchaser shall give five (5) Business Days’ notice to Seller prior to making any such withholding. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate to quantify any such withholding obligation and shall provide any reasonably requested information with respect thereto no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which such withholding is required. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, Purchaser shall (i) pay to the competent Taxing Authority the full amount required to be so deducted or withheld and (ii) promptly forward to Seller an official receipt or other documentation reasonably necessary to evidence such payment. Such amounts so deducted and withheld and paid over to the applicable Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this

Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

1.15 Additional Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Seller acknowledges that the fundamental economic benefits that Purchaser expects to receive from the Transaction are predicated on the Business having a sales perimeter of at least the 2017 Volume Threshold Amount in the 2017 calendar year, and that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 1.15 are essential to allow Purchaser to achieve these fundamental economic benefits.

(b) Set forth on Schedule 1.15(b) is a list of the identified volume of cans and ends (“Units”) expected to be sold by the Business in the 2017 calendar year, including the customers to which such Units will be sold, the Facility in which such Units are manufactured and from which they will be shipped to such customers.

(c) As promptly as practicable after December 31, 2017 (but in any event by March 15, 2018), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a report (the “2017 Actual Volume Report”) setting forth the aggregate number of Units actually sold, brokered, assigned to, or contract manufactured by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) from the Facilities during the 2017 calendar year (the “2017 Actual Volume”). If Seller has any objections to the amounts reflected in the 2017 Actual Volume Report, it shall notify Purchaser in writing of its objections within 30 days of its receipt of such report, in which case, the provisions of Section 1.6(e) shall apply mutatis mutandi to the resolution of any such dispute. If Seller has not objected to such report within such 30 day period, the 2017 Actual Volume shall be deemed to be as reflected in such report delivered by Purchaser.

(d) If the 2017 Actual Volume is deemed or determined to be less than the 2017 Volume Threshold Amount, then no later than 10 Business Days following the later of (i) Seller’s receipt of such report (if Seller has not objected thereto) or (ii) the final determination of the 2017 Actual Volume in accordance with Section 1.15(c), Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the 2017 Volume Shortfall Amount; provided that in no event shall the payment to be made by Seller to Purchaser under this subsection (d) exceed $75 million.

(f) If Purchaser determines, and so notifies Seller in writing, that the 2017 Actual Volume has been reduced as a direct result of the sale by Seller or any of its Affiliates of Units to any of the customers at the customer locations listed on Schedule 1.15(b) with respect to such customers (as reflected in the 2017 Actual Volume Report and subject to the dispute resolution provisions described in Section 1.15(c)), then, subject to Section 1.15(d) (but without

duplication of any volumes attributable to payments made thereunder), no later than 10 Business Days following the later of (i) Seller’s receipt of such report (if Seller has not objected thereto) or (ii) the final determination of the number of Units so sold by Seller or any of its Affiliates in accordance with Section 1.15(c), Seller shall pay to Purchaser (x) the Seller Volume Payment Amount; provided that the amount (if any) payable by Seller to Purchaser under Section 1.15(d) and this Section 1.15(f) shall be reduced by, or to the extent there is no amount payable by Seller to Purchaser under Section 1.15(d) or this Section 1.15(f) (after taking into account the reduction (if any) to any amount payable by Seller to Purchaser as a result of the application of this proviso), Purchaser shall pay to Seller (solely to the extent a reduction (if any) for such amount payable has not already been made hereunder), the Purchaser Volume Payment Amount with respect to any Units sold by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) in the 2017 calendar year from volume expected to be retained by Seller or its Affiliates in 2017 after giving effect to the Transaction (the “Seller Retained Volume”). If Seller determines, and so notifies Purchaser in writing, that Purchaser is required to make a payment to Seller under this Section 1.15(f), it shall, as promptly as practicable after December 31, 2017 (but in any event by March 15, 2018), deliver a report to Purchaser setting forth its determination of the Seller Retained Volume (the “Seller Retained Volume Report”). If Purchaser has any objections to such report, it shall notify Seller in writing of its objections within 30 days of its receipt of such report, in which case the provisions of Section 1.6(e) shall apply mutatis mutandi to the resolution of any such dispute. The payments required to be made by Purchaser under this subsection (e) shall be made no later than 10 Business Days following the later of (i) Purchaser’s receipt of the Seller Retained Volume Report (if Purchaser has not objected thereto) or (ii) the final determination of the amount of Seller Retained Volume.

(g) If, with respect to any volume of Units, Purchaser is required to make payments to Seller under both Section 1.15(e) and Section 1.15(f), or Seller is required to make payments to Purchaser under both Section 1.15(d) and Section 1.15(f), Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall first satisfy its obligations under Section 1.15(d) or Section 1.15(e), as applicable, before making any payment under Section 1.15(f); provided that in no event shall Purchaser or Seller be required to make payments under both Section 1.15(e) and Section 1.15(f) or Section 1.15(d) and Section 1.15(f), as applicable, with respect to the same volume of Units.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, effect or permit any of the following, and Purchaser’s right to receive any potential payment from Seller under Section 1.15(d) shall irrevocably terminate if Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate (x) takes any action with the primary intent of artificially preventing or decreasing the amount of any payments potentially due to Seller under Section 1.15(e) (or increasing the payments potentially due to Purchaser under Section 1.15(d)) (including any action to delay sales of Units until after the end of the 2017 calendar year), (y) acts in bad faith with respect to attaining any volume of cans or ends for the purpose of reducing the payments potentially due to Seller (or increasing the payments potentially due to Purchaser) under Section 1.15(e) or Section 1.15(d), or (z) fails to conduct the Business in a manner generally consistent with the efforts and resources that Purchaser and its Affiliates would devote to its other operations and businesses similarly situated to the Business absent Section 1.15(d) and Section 1.15(e).

(i) The payments to be made by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to this Section 1.15 shall be treated in all respects as adjustments to the Purchase Price, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller or Purchaser to the other no fewer than three Business Days prior to the scheduled date of such payment.

(j) Purchaser and Seller agree that to the extent any of the information to be exchanged between them pursuant to this Section 1.15 for purposes of determining any payments due to each other hereunder is competitively sensitive, such information will be disclosed only to specifically identified employees of Seller or Purchaser who do not have day-to-day pricing or strategic responsibilities, as applicable, or third party Representatives of either of them. Seller and Purchaser will cooperate to identify any such competitively sensitive information and to ensure that such information is reviewed only by such specifically identified employees who do not have day-to-day pricing or strategic responsibilities or third party Representatives.

3.6 Acquisition of Rexam Securities. Neither Purchaser nor any Person Acting in Concert with Purchaser has acquired any Interest in Securities of Rexam in the twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.7 Brokers. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the fees and expenses of any broker, finder or investment banker entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Transaction based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Purchaser.

3.8 Financing. Purchaser has, as of the date of this Agreement, committed financing (the “Financing”) pursuant to an executed commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) to which an agreed version of an interim loan agreement is attached, and an executed fee letter, in each case dated on or prior to the date of this Agreement, among one or more substantially wholly owned Affiliates controlled by Purchaser (the “Purchaser Financing Parties”) and the Financing Sources, copies of which have been provided to Seller (with the fee letter redacted in a customary manner solely with respect to fee amounts and economic terms (and none of the redacted provisions would allow the Financing Sources to reduce the amount of funding to be provided under the Financing Documents or the conditions on which such funding is available)) (the “Financing Documents”), the proceeds of which shall be on-lent or otherwise transferred by the Purchaser Financing Parties to Purchaser or each substantially wholly owned Affiliate controlled by Purchaser that will purchase Purchased Assets at or prior to Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Purchasing Entities”), in each case pursuant to Section 4.18(b)(B) and the terms of one or more intercompany financing agreements. All conditions precedent to the funding (the “Financing Conditions Precedent”) are set forth in the Financing Documents, and at Closing Purchaser or the applicable Purchasing Entities will (subject to satisfaction of the Financing Conditions Precedent) have the necessary cash resources to pay the Closing Purchase Price and meet all of Purchaser’s financial obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. As of the date of this Agreement, (i) there are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, and (ii) there are no, and there are not contemplated to be any, agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to (a) the conditions precedent to the funding of the full amount of the Financing or (b) any reduction of the amount of the Financing, in each case other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Documents. None of the Financing Documents have been amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the respective commitments contained therein have not been withdrawn, rescinded, amended, restated or otherwise modified in any respect prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, each of the Financing Documents is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser Financing Parties (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity), and to the Knowledge of Purchaser, each of the other parties thereto, and enforceable against the Purchaser Financing Parties, and, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, each of the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which would constitute a breach or default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) or prevent any of the Financing Conditions Precedent from being satisfied, in each case on the part of the Purchaser Financing Parties, or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, any other parties thereto, under the Financing Documents. As of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that (x) any of the Financing Conditions Precedent will not be satisfied, or (y) the Financing will not be available to any of Purchaser, the Purchaser Financing Parties and the Purchasing Entities at Closing. Purchaser has fully paid, or caused to be fully paid, all commitment fees and other fees to the extent required to be paid on or prior to

the date of this Agreement in connection with the Financing. Except as permitted by Section 4.18, Purchaser shall not agree, nor shall it allow any of its Affiliates or Representatives to agree, to amend the terms of, or waive any term of or right under, any of the Financing Documents and shall not take any action or omit to take any action, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to take any action or omit to take any action, which would impair or restrict its ability to enforce its rights or the rights of the Purchaser Financing Parties thereunder in any manner. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Financing is not a condition to Closing or the consummation of the Transaction, and that, irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing, Purchaser shall be obligated to pay the Closing Purchase Price and meet all its financial obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII.

3.9 Investigation. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it (a) has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Business and (b) has been furnished with or given access to such information about the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Business as it has requested. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the only representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives are the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement, (ii) except as set forth in Article II, none of Seller, Rexam or any of their respective Affiliates or its Representatives makes any other representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, with respect to Seller, the Seller Entities, the Rexam Entities, the Purchased Entities, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Business, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby), including representations, warranties, covenants and agreements relating to the financial condition, results of operations, assets or Liabilities of any of the foregoing entities and (iii) none of Seller, Rexam nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives makes any representation or warranty as to (A) the operation of the Business by Purchaser after the Closing in any manner or (B) the probable success or profitability of the Business (whether before or after the Closing). Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article II, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates have relied upon any other representations or warranties or any other information made or supplied by or on behalf of Seller, Rexam or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of Seller, Rexam, their respective Affiliates or Representatives has any liability or responsibility for any other representation, warranty, opinion, projection, forecast, advice, statement or information made, communicated or furnished (orally or in writing) to Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives (including any opinion, projection, forecast, advice, statement or information that may have been or may be provided to Purchaser by any Affiliate or Representative of Purchaser). Except to the extent Purchaser has otherwise advised Seller in writing, as of the date of this Agreement and to the Knowledge of Purchaser, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives is aware of (x) any of the representations or warranties contained in Article II being untrue or incorrect or (y) any material errors in, or material omissions from, the Seller Disclosure Letter.

Without prejudice to Purchaser’s and Seller’s rights set forth in Section 7.3, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(d) are not invoked by provision of the notice pursuant to the previous sentence, such conditions shall at such time be deemed irrevocably waived and may not thereafter be invoked by Purchaser.

4.3 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing (or until the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1), upon reasonable notice, Seller shall, shall cause its applicable subsidiaries and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Rexam and Rexam’s applicable subsidiaries to: (i) afford Purchaser and its authorized Representatives reasonable access to the Business Real Property and related Books and Records; and (ii) furnish to the authorized Representatives of Purchaser such additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the Business (or copies thereof) as Purchaser may from time to time reasonably require in order to prepare for the Closing; provided, however, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be scheduled and coordinated through the Person(s) set forth on Schedule 4.3 and shall be conducted at Purchaser’s expense, during normal business hours, under the supervision of Seller’s or Rexam’s, as applicable, or their Affiliates’ personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of the Business; further provided, that neither Seller nor Rexam shall be required to disclose (or cause their respective Affiliates to disclose) any information to Purchaser if such disclosure would be reasonably likely to: (w) cause competitive harm to the Business if the Transaction is not consummated; (x) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege; or (y) contravene any applicable Laws (including any Competition/Investment Law and any applicable Law relating to data protection), fiduciary duties or Contracts; and provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, access to the Business Real Property shall not include the right to collect or otherwise take samples at said properties, including samples of environmental media such as soils, surface waters, sediments or groundwater, or building materials.

(b) The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2015, between Purchaser and Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement and the obligations of Purchaser under this Section 4.3(b) shall terminate; provided, however, that, from and after the Closing, except as would have been permitted under the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives to, treat and hold as confidential, and not disclose to any Person, information related to the discussions and negotiations between the Parties regarding this Agreement and the Transaction and all confidential information relating to Seller and Rexam or their respective subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than confidential information relating to the Purchased Entities and the Purchased Assets). If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

proprietary information to the extent relating to the Business and relating to trade secrets, processes, product development, price, customer and supplier lists, pricing and marketing plans, policies and strategies, details of client and consultant contracts, operations methods, product development techniques, business acquisition plans, new personnel acquisition plans and all other confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Purchased Entities, the Purchased Assets or the Business unless such information (A) is or becomes generally available to, or known by, the public through no disclosure in violation hereof of Seller or its Affiliates or any of its or their Representatives, (B) is required to be publicly disclosed by Law or the rules or regulations of any U.S. or foreign securities exchange or similar organization, or (C) becomes available to Seller or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing, from a third party source that is not known by Seller to be under any obligations of confidentiality in respect of such information, (ii) in the event that Seller, Rexam, any Seller Entity, Rexam Entity or any of their respective Representative becomes legally compelled to disclose any such information, provide Purchaser (to the extent permitted by Law and reasonably practicable) with prompt written notice of such requirement so that Purchaser may seek, at Purchaser’s sole expense, a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 4.3(d) and (iii) in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or Purchaser waives compliance with this Section 4.3(d), furnish only that portion of such confidential information which is legally required to be provided. In addition, the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives from using the confidential information described in Section 4.3(d)(i) for the purpose of complying with the terms of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or any Contract that has not been assigned or transferred pursuant to Section 1.13. Furthermore, the provisions of this Section 4.3(d) will not prohibit any retention of copies of records or any disclosure in connection with the preparation and filing of financial statements or Tax Returns of Seller or its Affiliates or any disclosure made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(b) Purchaser agrees that following the Closing for the applicable periods and in the geographic locations set forth on Schedule 4.4(b), none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates will, without the prior written consent of Seller, solicit to employ or hire (whether as an officer, employee or consultant or other independent contractor) any employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates (i) to whom Purchaser or any of its Affiliates were introduced or with whom they

otherwise had contact in connection with their evaluation of the Transaction or (ii) with an annual base salary in excess of $100,000 (other than any Transferred Business Employee); provided, however, that the restrictions of this Section 4.4(b) shall not apply (x) to any general advertisement or any search firm engagement which, in any such case, is not directed or focused on any such employee and any resultant hiring, (y) to the hiring of any such employee who directly or indirectly contacts Purchaser or its Affiliates of her or his own accord, or (z) to the solicitation or hiring of any such employee whose employment by or term in office with Seller or its Affiliates is terminated prior to the date of the applicable solicitation.

(a) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall (and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Rexam to) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with each other in doing, all things necessary and advisable (subject to applicable Law) to cause the Closing conditions set forth in Article VII to be satisfied and to consummate and make effective the Transaction as soon as practicable in accordance with the terms hereof, including using reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly all required Consents of the EC, XXXX and the FTC for the Transaction (including to have issued the EC’s approval decision pursuant to Section 19 of the EC Commitments and for the approval of Purchaser as the purchaser of the Purchased Assets); provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay any fees or other payments to any such Governmental Authorities in order to obtain any such Consent (other than normal filing fees that are imposed by Law on Seller). Seller and Purchaser shall not, and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Rexam not to, knowingly enter into any acquisition or other agreement, make any announcement with respect to any transaction (except as required pursuant to applicable Law or the rules of any applicable stock exchange) or take any other action that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any Consents of any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transaction. Seller and Purchaser each agree, to the extent required by applicable Law (including Competition/Investment Laws), to make, or to cause to be made any required filing with or notification to the EC, XXXX and the FTC with respect to the Transaction and the approval of Purchaser as the purchaser of the Purchased Assets as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event within any time period imposed by applicable Competition/Investment Laws, and to supply promptly any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to Competition/Investment Laws (including, in the case of Purchaser, to promptly make available to the EC, CADE, the FTC and any other applicable Governmental Authority and the Monitoring Trustee information and appropriate personnel in response to any queries made by them that are raised in connection with the Clearances or the Consents, which may include information regarding this Agreement, Purchaser’s capabilities as the potential purchaser of the Business, or other matters). If any objections are asserted with respect to the Transaction under any Competition/Investment Law or if any suit or proceeding is instituted or threatened by any Governmental Authority or any private party challenging the Transaction as violative of any Competition/Investment Law, each of Seller and Purchaser shall (and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Rexam to) use its reasonable best efforts to promptly resolve such objections. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take all action, including but not limited to agreeing to hold separate or to divest any of the Purchased Assets or businesses or properties or assets of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and to

terminate any existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations, as may be required by: (i) the applicable Governmental Authority in order to resolve such objections as such Governmental Authority may have to such transactions under any Competition/Investment Law; or (ii) any domestic or foreign court or other tribunal, in any Action brought by a private party or Governmental Authority challenging such transactions as violative of any Competition/Investment Law, in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution, vacating, lifting, altering or reversal of, any order that has the effect of restricting, preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction.

(b) Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and applicable Law, each of Seller and Purchaser shall (and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Rexam to) promptly disclose to the other Parties, and provide copies to the other Parties of, all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and the Transaction and permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed correspondence, filings or communication by such Party to any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation, projections, business plans or prospects of the Purchased Entities, Purchased Assets or the Business and (ii) as necessary to otherwise comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Laws, provided that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), if a Party provides redacted materials to any other Party, it must also provide on an “outside counsel only” basis a copy of the same materials without any redactions applied to the legal advisors of that Party. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall (and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Rexam not to) agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation), litigation or other inquiry related to the Transaction unless it first uses commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not have the obligation to consult with the other Parties with respect to, or give the other Parties the opportunity to attend (other than such Parties’ respective outside counsel), that portion of any meeting with any Governmental Authority during which Purchaser reasonably expects to discuss the valuation, projections, business plans or prospects of the Purchased Entities, Purchased Assets or the Business. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser shall (and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Rexam to) coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking Consents under the applicable Competition/Investment Laws.

4.8 Termination of Insurance Coverage. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.8, Purchaser acknowledges that all insurance coverage for the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Purchased Entities under policies of Seller, Rexam and their respective Affiliates (other than the Purchased Entities) shall terminate as of the Closing and, following the Closing, no claims may be brought against any such policy of Seller, Rexam and their respective Affiliates in respect of the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Purchased Entities regardless of whether the events underlying such claim arose prior to or after the Closing.

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

5.1 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Transferred Business Employees.

(i) Each Offer Employee shall receive an offer of employment from Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement, or within five (5) Business Days of the applicable date of hire with respect to any Offer Employee hired after the date of this Agreement, which offer shall be on terms and conditions no less favorable in the aggregate to such Offer Employee than the terms and conditions provided to such Offer Employee by the relevant Seller Entity or Rexam Entity as of the date immediately prior to such offer being made, and which shall comply with the requirements of Section 5.1(b) and which shall provide that employment with

Purchaser or one of its Affiliates will commence effective as of the Closing Date. Each Offer Employee who accepts the offer of employment pursuant to the prior sentence and commences employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates immediately following the Closing shall become a Transferred Business Employee as of immediately following the Closing. For a period of one year following the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be permitted to employ any Offer Employee who is employed by Rexam or any Rexam Entity as of the date of this Agreement or who becomes employed by Rexam or any Rexam Entity between the date of this Agreement and Closing, and in each case who has not become a Transferred Business Employee.

(ii) Where in accordance with the Transfer Regulations the contract of employment of any Business Employee transfers automatically to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets or to a Purchased Entity in connection with the Restructuring, such contract of employment shall have effect (a) from the Closing Date as if originally made between Purchaser or such Affiliate of Purchaser or, (b) in the case of a Restructuring, from the date of the applicable transfer as if made between the applicable Purchased Entity, and the Business Employee and all rights, powers, duties, liabilities and obligations of the applicable Seller Entity or Rexam Entity in respect of or in relation to such Business Employees and their contracts of employment in force immediately before the Closing Date (or the applicable Restructuring date) (in each case with the exception of accrued occupational pension scheme rights) shall transfer to Purchaser, its applicable Affiliate or the applicable Purchased Entity in accordance with the Transfer Regulations.

(b) Employment Terms, Compensation and Benefits. Effective immediately upon the Closing, Purchaser shall or shall cause its respective Affiliates to provide to each of the Transferred Business Employees and each employee of the Purchased Entities (each a “Purchased Entity Employee” and collectively, and together with the Transferred Business Employees, the “Transferred Employees”) who remains in the employment of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) employment in the same or an equivalent position and, continuing until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, substantially the same employment terms and conditions and observe the Transferred Employees’ statutory and contractual rights with (i) base salary, wage rate, annual cash incentive compensation opportunity and long-term incentive compensation opportunity that in each case is no less favorable than the base salary, wage rate and annual cash incentive compensation opportunity and long-term incentive compensation opportunity (including equity and equity-related incentive compensation) in effect for such Transferred Employee immediately prior to Closing (provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be required to provide any equity compensation to the Transferred Employees); (ii) (A) in the case of each U.S. Transferred Employee, employee benefits that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than those in effect for such U.S. Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and (B) in the case of Non-U.S. Transferred Employees, employee benefits that, on an individual basis, are of economically similar value to those paid or provided to each such Non-U.S. Transferred Employee by Seller, Rexam or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, immediately prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) notice and severance benefits that are no less favorable than the notice and severance benefits that would have been applicable to such Transferred Employee under the Employee Incentives

Schedule to the Co-operation Agreement or any applicable severance plans of Seller, Rexam or Affiliate of Seller or Rexam immediately prior to the Closing Date, taking into account each such Transferred Employee’s additional period of service and any increase to base salary or wage rate and incentive compensation opportunity with Purchaser or its Affiliates following the Closing. Purchaser agrees that it shall not, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) to, in the case of any Transferred Employee who was previously employed by Rexam or any Rexam Entity, relocate such employee during the two-year period following the Closing Date to a work location more than twenty-five (25) miles from the location at which such employee was employed immediately prior to the Closing without such person’s consent. This Section 5.1(b) is subject to the Transfer Regulations and any other applicable Law that protects any Transferred Employee’s acquired rights or otherwise requires Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) and is without limitation of Purchaser and its Affiliates’ ability to provide more generous terms and conditions, compensation or benefits to the Transferred Employees following the Closing. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Purchaser and its Affiliates will have no obligation to continue the employment of any Transferred Employee for any period following the Closing Date.

(c) Retention Liabilities and Incentives. The Seller Entities, the Rexam Entities and their respective Affiliates shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities related to (i) any outstanding equity awards or equity-related arrangements granted to Transferred Employees by a Seller Entity or Rexam Entity on or prior to the Closing Date, with the exception of the ESPP and (ii) the payment of any cash retention and long and short-term incentive awards granted by a Seller Entity or Rexam Entity and payable to Transferred Employees on or before the Closing Date, in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable Employee Benefit Plan. Seller shall cause each outstanding and unvested long-term incentive award granted to each Transferred Employee employed by Rexam or any Rexam Entity to vest and be paid in accordance with the terms that are no less favorable than those contemplated by Schedule 2 to the Co-operation Agreement. Seller shall cause each outstanding and unvested long-term incentive award granted to each Transferred Employee employed by Seller or any Seller Entity, other than the Rexam or the Rexam Entities, to vest in accordance with the provisions of such award on or immediately prior to the Closing Date and, to the extent any such outstanding long-term incentive award is not vested and paid to a Transferred Employee on or immediately prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall grant a cash retention award to such Transferred Employee, in each case in accordance with the Ball Packaging Europe Special Incentive Program. In addition, to the extent permitted by the applicable Employee Benefit Plan, Collective Bargaining Agreement, National Collective Bargaining Agreement or applicable Law, Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to each Transferred Employee in cash on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date a pro rata portion of the 2016 short-term incentive award granted to such Transferred Employee. The pro rata 2016 short-term incentive award amount shall be determined on the basis of the number of days elapsed in 2016 through the Closing Date and performance equal to actual performance through the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for the payment of any cash retention awards granted to Transferred Employees on or prior to the Closing that are payable to the Transferred Employees after the Closing Date in connection with the satisfaction of a continued service requirement and any short term incentive payments that are due to be paid in the normal course after the Closing Date; provided, however, that any such retention awards and short term

incentive awards shall be listed on Schedule 5.1(c) and included in Net Debt for purposes of Section 1.6.

(d) Severance Liabilities. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any severance, change in control, accrued paid time off, redundancy, termination indemnitees or similar termination payments or benefits that may become payable (i) to any Transferred Employee terminated by Purchaser or its Affiliates on or following the Closing Date and (ii) to any Business Employee (A) who does not receive an offer of employment as required pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b) and who resigns as of the Closing Date under circumstances entitling the Business Employee to any such payments and benefits, or (B) who asserts a statutory right to object to the transfer of employment contemplated by Section 5.1(a)(ii) where Purchaser and its Affiliates fail to comply with the Transfer Regulations or otherwise do not honor Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) and who is entitled to severance on the termination of his or her employment following such objection, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller, Rexam and any of their respective Affiliates from any and all Liabilities for such payments and benefits. To the extent that Seller, Rexam or any of their respective Affiliates become liable for, or are legally required to make, severance, change in control, accrued paid time off, redundancy, termination indemnity or similar termination payments or benefits to any Transferred Employee or Business Employee described in the foregoing clause (ii), Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) to, reimburse Seller, Rexam or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, as soon as practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt from Seller, Rexam or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, of appropriate verification, for all payments, costs and expenses actually incurred in respect thereof by Seller, Rexam or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, as required by applicable Law or any Contract. Except as provided above in this Section 5.1(d), Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any severance, change in control, accrued paid time off, redundancy, termination indemnitees or similar termination payments or benefits that may become payable to Business Employees dismissed by Seller or its Affiliates.

(e) Service Credit. To the extent that any Transferred Employee’s acquired rights are not already protected by the Transfer Regulations or other applicable Law, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, recognize the prior service of, or recognized with respect to, each Transferred Employee as if such service had been performed with Purchaser for all purposes, including eligibility, vesting, service-related level of benefits and benefit accrual (except for any benefit accruals for U.S. union and non-union hourly Transferred Employees under the defined benefit Rexam Pension Plan, provided that such service for benefit accruals purposes under the Rexam Pension Plan shall be recognized for purposes of early retirement subsidies in accordance with Schedule 5.1(h)) under the employee benefit plans and policies provided by Purchaser to such Transferred Employee following the Closing, to the same extent such service was recognized by Seller, Rexam or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, immediately prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) to, (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations otherwise applicable to Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents under any plan of Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser that provides health or life benefits in which the Transferred Employees may be eligible to participate following the Closing, other than any limitations that were in effect with respect to a Transferred Employee as of the Closing under the analogous Employee Benefit Plan, (ii) honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the

Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents under the health plans in which they participated immediately prior to the Closing during the portion of the calendar year prior to the Closing in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under health plans of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which they are eligible to participate after the Closing in the same plan year in which such deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums were incurred and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents on or after the Closing, in each case to the extent such Transferred Employee or eligible dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Employee Benefit Plan prior to the Closing.

(f) CBAs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, immediately following the Closing, Purchaser shall or shall cause its Affiliates to assume each Collective Bargaining Agreement and any and all Liabilities thereunder whether arising before, on or after the Closing and provide to the Transferred Employees who remain in the employment of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Purchased Entities) and whose employment is subject to a Collective Bargaining Agreement or National Collective Bargaining Agreement, terms and conditions of employment in accordance with such Collective Bargaining Agreement or National Collective Bargaining Agreement until its expiration, modification or termination in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

(g) WARN. Seller and its Affiliates shall comply with all WARN obligations through the Closing Date with respect to the Business.

(h) Pension and Certain Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligations. The rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser or their respective Affiliates in connection with any pension and post-employment benefit obligations, including the Defined Benefit Plans, with respect to Transferred Employees and former employees of the Purchased Entities are described in Schedule 5.1(h).

(i) Multiemployer Plan. Seller and Purchaser intend to comply with the requirements of Section 4204 of ERISA in order that the Transaction shall not be deemed a complete or partial withdrawal from the I.A.M. National Pension Fund (the “Multiemployer Plan”), but only to the extent that there are unfunded vested benefits in the Multiemployer Plan that would trigger the occurrence of withdrawal liability, by virtue of a full or partial withdrawal, as a result of the Transaction. Accordingly, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

(i) Purchaser will be obligated to make contributions to the Multiemployer Plan in accordance with any Collective Bargaining Agreement relating thereto and shall contribute to the Multiemployer Plan with respect to the business and operations of the Purchased Assets and Purchased Entities on the same terms as Rexam had an obligation to contribute to the Multiemployer Plan prior to the Closing Date.

(ii) Unless and until a variance or exemption is obtained in accordance with Section 4204(c) of ERISA, Purchaser will provide to the Multiemployer Plan, for a period of five plan years commencing with the first plan year beginning after the Closing Date (the “Contribution Period”), a bond issued by a corporate surety company that is an

acceptable surety for purposes of Section 412 of ERISA, or an amount held in escrow by a bank or similar financial institution satisfactory to the Multiemployer Plan, as applicable, or such other security as may be permitted under Section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA or regulations thereunder, in an amount equal to the greater of:

(A) the average annual contribution required to be made by Rexam to the Multiemployer Plan with respect to the business and operation of the Facilities, as applicable, for the three plan years preceding the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, or

(B) the annual contribution that Rexam was required to make with respect to the business and operations of the Facilities under the Multiemployer Plan for the last plan year before the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs,

which applicable bond or escrow shall be paid to the Multiemployer Plan if Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate) withdraws from the Multiemployer Plan, or fails to make a contribution to the Multiemployer Plan when due, at any time during the Contribution Period. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any application for a variance or exemption under Section 4204(c) of ERISA made by Purchaser to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or to the Multiemployer Plan and to otherwise comply with the obligations of a “Seller” under Section 4204 of ERISA. The full costs and expenses relating to the provision of any bond, letter of credit or escrow required under this Section 5.1(h), shall be paid by Purchaser.

(iii) If Purchaser withdraws from the Multiemployer Plan in a complete or partial withdrawal with respect to the Business and operations of the Facilities under the Multiemployer Plan during the Contribution Period defined above, Seller shall be secondarily liable for any withdrawal Liability it would have incurred to the Multiemployer Plan with respect to the Business and operations of such Facilities (but for the provisions of Section 4204 of ERISA) if the withdrawal Liability of Purchaser with respect to the Multiemployer Plan is not paid. Purchaser agrees to provide Seller reasonable advance notice of any action or event which could result in the imposition of withdrawal Liability contemplated by this Section 5.1(h) and in any event Purchaser shall promptly furnish Seller with a copy of any notice of withdrawal Liability it may receive with respect to the Multiemployer Plan, together with all pertinent details. In the event that any such withdrawal Liability shall be assessed against Purchaser, Purchaser further agrees to provide Seller advance notice of any intention on the part of Purchaser not to make full payment of any withdrawal Liability when the same shall become due.

(iv) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Rexam harmless against the imposition of any secondary Liability, or any Liability resulting from the failure of Purchaser to provide a bond, letter of credit, escrow or other security pursuant to this Section 5.1(h).

(j) Following the Closing, the employees of Ball Packaging Europe UK Limited will no longer be able to acquire interests in common stock of Seller pursuant to the Ball

Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan with HMRC reference number A1939 (the “ESPP”). Subject to applicable Law and the ESPP’s terms, Purchaser shall cause Ball Packaging Europe UK Limited to continue and administer the ESPP through the ESPP Trustee until all awards thereunder have become payable. Seller shall indemnify Purchaser against any Taxes which are incurred by Purchaser or Ball Packaging Europe UK Limited as a result of the Transaction in relation to the administration of the ESPP (including the delivery of any interests in shares to the participants) and the cost of acquisition, in accordance with the terms of the ESPP, of any Matching Shares (as defined in the ESPP) awarded prior to the Closing Date provided that Ball Packaging Europe UK Limited continues to administer the ESPP in accordance with its terms and this Section 5.1(j).

(k) The provisions of this Section 5.1 are solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no Business Employee or other employee or former employee of Seller or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Employee Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan of Purchaser for any purpose. The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this Agreement, including in this Section 5.1, shall require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to maintain the employment of any Business Employee, except as required by applicable Law or an applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, Transfer Taxes shall not include any amounts described in the definition of Excluded Taxes or VAT described in Section 6.7.

6.3 Tax Returns.

(a) Seller shall timely prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Purchased Entities that are: (i) required to be filed after the date of this Agreement in respect of Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than Straddle Periods subject to Section 6.3(b) below); and (ii) any combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return that includes Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Entities), on the one hand, and any of the Purchased Entities or their respective subsidiaries, on the other hand. Such Tax Returns described in the foregoing clause (i) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Purchased Entities, unless otherwise required by Law. Any Tax Returns described in the foregoing clause (i) that are to be prepared, or filed, by Seller or its Affiliates under this Section 6.3(a) shall be provided to Purchaser for its review and comments at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such items being filed, and Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments received from Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the due date. Seller shall timely pay any Taxes shown on any such Tax Returns (other than any Taxes for which Seller is not required to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(vi)) to the relevant Taxing Authority.

(b) Purchaser shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Purchased Entities for any Straddle Period and, to the extent they are not otherwise required to be filed or caused to be filed by Seller under Section 6.3(a), Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practices of the Purchased Entities, unless otherwise required by Law. Any Tax Returns that are to be prepared, or filed, by Purchaser or the Purchased Entities under this Section 6.3(b) shall be provided to Seller for its review, and comments, together with a statement setting forth the amount of Tax for which Seller is responsible under Article VI, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such items being filed, and Purchaser shall incorporate any reasonable comments received from Seller at least three (3) Business Days prior to the due date so long as such comments, if so incorporated, would not materially prejudice Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. Purchaser shall pay any and all Taxes shown as due on any Tax Return filed by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.3(b). Purchaser shall be entitled to reimbursement from Seller in respect of any Taxes that are the responsibility

of Seller under Article VI. Upon payment of any such Tax, Purchaser shall present a statement to Seller setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which Purchaser is entitled under Article VI together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed. Seller shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the presentation of such statement.

(c) If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve all open issues with respect to any Tax Return as provided in Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b) above prior to the due date (taking into account any extension validly obtained), such Tax Return will be filed as proposed by Seller (in the case of a Tax Return described in Section 6.3(a)) or Purchaser (in the case of a Tax Return described in Section 6.3(b)), and such open issues shall be referred to the Tax Advisor promptly after the filing due date. The Tax Advisor shall resolve such open issues, and any reimbursement payment or indemnification payment by either Seller or Purchaser under this Article VI shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the resolution of the Tax Advisor.

6.4 Tax Cooperation.

(a) Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (including access to Books and Records with the assistance of employees) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax, provided, however, that in the case of Tax Returns of either Party or their Affiliates (or of a consolidated, combined, unitary or Tax group any of them), the Party providing the Tax Return may, in lieu of delivering the Tax Return, deliver to the other Party pro-forma statements setting forth in sufficient detail the relevant information.

(b) Without limiting Section 6.4(a), within the time limits permitted by applicable Laws, Seller shall be entitled to request that a Purchased Entity and an appropriate Affiliate of Seller (other than a Purchased Entity) make (or join in making, as applicable) a Degrouping Election. If Seller exercises its right under this Section 6.4(b), Purchaser shall cause the relevant Purchased Entity to enter into the Degrouping Election (including filing such Degrouping Election with the relevant Taxing Authority, whether separately or together with that Purchased Entity’s relevant Tax Return) and provide an executed copy of such Degrouping Election to Seller within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the draft form of the Degrouping Election from Seller.

6.5 Refunds or Credits; Amended Returns.

(a) Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller any refunds or credits of Taxes received by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (i) relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Purchased Assets or (ii) that are refunds or credits of Taxes previously paid by Seller. Purchaser shall be entitled to all other refunds and credits of Taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets.

(b) Purchaser shall not (i) amend any Tax Return relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) make any Tax election that would affect in any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case without the consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned,

or delayed; provided that, Purchaser shall be entitled to amend any Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period if (x) Purchaser requests and receives written confirmation from Seller that Seller has determined that such amendment would not materially prejudice Seller or (y) Purchaser obtains a Tax Opinion to the effect that (A) such amendment would correct an error, omission or factual discrepancy found in such Tax Return, (B) there is no reasonable basis for the original position claimed on such Tax Return, and (C) the failure to so amend such Tax Return could subject Purchaser to penalties or other additional costs or expenses. In the case Purchaser amends any Tax Return relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period pursuant to the proviso in the previous sentence, Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly in writing of such amendment and provide to Seller a copy of any Tax Opinion obtained in connection with such amendment. Purchaser shall prepare and file any amended return as may be reasonably requested by Seller, provided (1) that Seller shall bear any and all costs of preparing, filing and pursuing such return, and (2) that Purchaser shall not be required to take any action that Purchaser determines could materially prejudice Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Purchased Entities). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to take the necessary administrative action, at Seller’s expense, including but not limited to amending the relevant Tax Return of Ball Packaging Europe UK Ltd., as reasonably directed by Seller in order to allow final resolution of the 2006 UK Tax Dispute; provided that, upon Purchaser’s request and at Seller’s cost, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a Tax Opinion or such other documents or information reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (upon which Purchaser and its Affiliates may rely) that supports the administrative action so requested and or the position or treatment set forth on such amended Tax return or addresses other matters as reasonably requested by Purchaser.

6.6 Contests. Whenever any Taxing Authority asserts a claim, makes an assessment, or otherwise disputes the amount of Taxes for which Seller, and not Purchaser, is liable under this Agreement, Purchaser shall upon receipt of such assertion, promptly, but in no event more than twenty (20) Business Days from such receipt, inform Seller in writing and Seller shall have the right to control any resulting proceedings and to determine whether and when to settle any such claim, assessment or dispute to the extent such proceedings or determinations affect the amount of Taxes for which Seller may be liable under this Agreement and does not materially affect the amount for which Purchaser is liable under this Agreement. Whenever any Taxing Authority asserts a claim, makes an assessment or otherwise disputes the amount of Taxes for which Purchaser, and not Seller, is liable under this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to control any resulting proceedings and to determine whether and when to settle any such claim, assessment or dispute, except to the extent such proceedings affect the amount of Taxes for which Seller is liable under this Agreement. Whenever any Taxing Authority asserts a claim, makes an assessment or otherwise disputes the amount of Taxes for which both Seller and Purchaser may be liable, (i) each such Party may participate in any resulting proceedings, (ii) the proceedings shall be controlled by the Party that would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of the adjustment and any corresponding adjustments that may reasonably be anticipated for future taxable periods and (iii) neither Party shall settle the proceedings without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided however, that when an amount in dispute is $250,000 or less, the Party that would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of the adjustment and any corresponding adjustments that may reasonably be anticipated for future taxable periods may settle any such proceeding on behalf of both Parties without the consent of the other Party if the Party bearing the greater burden obtains a Tax Opinion, on which both Parties may rely, to the effect that the settlement is

reasonable based on the facts and circumstances of the issue which is the basis of such proceeding.

6.7 VAT. The Purchase Price shall be exclusive of VAT and if VAT is properly charged or chargeable upon Seller or any of its Affiliates, Purchaser shall pay Seller (in addition to the Purchase Price) the amount of such VAT within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a VAT invoice in compliance with local Laws.

6.8 Earnings and Profits. Schedule 2.18 contains a list of the Purchased Entities that (i) are treated as “controlled foreign corporations” or (ii) are disregarded entities and direct subsidiaries of Purchased Entities treated as “controlled foreign corporations” immediately prior to the Closing for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the Purchased Entities described in clauses (i) and (ii), and designated as such in Schedule 2.18, “Purchased CFCs”). Except with the express written consent of Seller, none of Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall take, or cause or permit the Purchased CFCs to take, any action outside the ordinary course of business of Purchaser or any Purchased CFCs on or after the Closing Date (including any restructuring or Tax election with respect to such Purchased Entities, and other than any transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including the Restructuring) or that was subject to a binding contract or other commitment entered into prior to the Closing or that is a recurring obligation) that would increase or decrease the earnings and profits of Seller or its Affiliates by a material amount for any Tax period that includes the Closing Date, as calculated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

(a) by mutual written agreement of Seller and Purchaser;

(b) upon written notice, by Seller or Purchaser to the other Parties, in the event that any Governmental Order or Law restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Transaction shall have become final and non-appealable;

(c) upon written notice, by Seller or Purchaser to the other Parties in the event that (i) after accepting an agreement containing a consent order for public comment, the FTC notifies Seller that Purchaser is not an acceptable purchaser of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, (ii) Seller receives final written notification from the EC that it will not approve Purchaser as the purchaser of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, or that it will not clear the Transaction, or (iii) Seller receives written notification from XXXX that the approval of Purchaser as the purchaser of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities shall not be granted; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to: (x) Seller if Seller is in material breach of its obligations pursuant to Section 4.5 and such breach shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the applicable event set forth in the foregoing clauses (i)—(iii); or (y) Purchaser if Purchaser is in material breach of its obligations pursuant to Section 4.5 and such breach shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the applicable event set forth in the foregoing clauses (i)—(iii);

(d) by either Seller or Purchaser, upon written notice to the non-terminating Parties by the terminating Party, if the Closing shall not have occurred by September 5, 2016 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that (i) to the extent the “Long Stop Date” (as defined in the Rule 2.7 Announcement) is extended as permitted under the Rule 2.7 Announcement or the Co-operation Agreement, the End Date shall be extended until the equivalent date of such extension (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the End Date be later than October 31, 2016 without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to: (x) Seller if Seller’s failure to perform any material covenant or obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; or (y) Purchaser if Purchaser’s failure to perform any material covenant or obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(e) by Purchaser, if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller (either in respect of itself or Rexam) such that the condition to Closing set forth in Section 7.1(a) would not be satisfied as of such time and such

breach, if curable, has not been cured by the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days after Purchaser has notified Seller in writing of such breach or (ii) the End Date (as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 8.1(d));

If this Agreement is terminated and the Transaction is abandoned pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(h) (if the Rexam Transaction is terminated, withdrawn or lapses as a result of Seller invoking a condition relating to Anti-trust Material Adverse Effect or a breach by Seller of the Co-operation Agreement or of any undertaking of Seller set forth in the Rule 2.7 Announcement), then, without prejudice to or limitation of any other rights or remedies which may be available to Purchaser or its Affiliates, concurrently with the termination of this Agreement by Seller or within two (2) Business Days following the termination of this Agreement by Purchaser, Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser all documented costs, fees and expenses incident to the Financing (including all reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other advisors and all rating agency fees, printing expenses, escrow agent fees and the amount of any premium or penalty paid or broken funding costs incurred in connection with the release and return of escrowed funds to bond holders or lenders); provided that in no event shall the payment to be made by Seller pursuant to this sentence exceed $100 million; provided, that Seller shall not be required to reimburse Purchaser if the Rexam Transaction is terminated, withdrawn or lapses because the FTC, the EC or XXXX fails to approve Purchaser as a suitable purchaser of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities or fails to approve the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION AND SURVIVAL

9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.

of Seller under Article VI, and (vi) any and all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the Purchased Entity Guarantees; provided, however, that (1) Seller shall have no liability under Section 9.2(a)(i)(A) as a result of the breach of or inaccuracy in any such representation or warranty to the extent that Purchaser had actual knowledge that such representation or warranty was untrue or incorrect prior to the date of this Agreement, (2) with respect to indemnification by Seller for any claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i)(A) (other than any Seller Fundamental Representation), (X) no claim shall be deemed to have occurred unless the amount of Losses with respect thereto exceeds $100,000, (Y) Seller shall not be liable unless the aggregate amount of Losses for all such claims exceeds an amount equal to 0.5% of the Purchase Price and then only to the extent of such excess and (Z) Seller’s maximum liability for all such claims shall not exceed an amount equal to 1% of the Purchase Price in the aggregate, and (3) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller is obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees under this Article IX (other than Section 9.2(a)(ii) and Section 9.2(a)(v)) exceed an amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price; provided, further, that the limitations set forth in subsections (1) and (2) in this Section 9.2(a) shall not apply to any Loss to the extent such Loss results from Seller’s, Rexam’s or their respective Affiliates’ fraud, and any indemnifiable amounts arising from such Loss shall not be counted against the limits set forth in subsection (2).

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates and its and their officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) in respect of, and hold them harmless from and against, (i) any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by a Seller Indemnitee by reason of or resulting from (A) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement at and as of the Closing as though made at and as of such time (or, if made as of a specific date, at and as of such date) (in each case, without giving effect to any limitations or qualifications as to “materiality” (including the word “material”) or material adverse effect set forth therein) or (B) nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, (ii) the Assumed Liabilities, including Seller-Indemnified On-Site Environmental Liabilities (except with respect to the latter, Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify Seller to the extent Purchaser Indemnitees have a right of indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a), taking into account any limitations on such right set forth in this Article IX), (iii) the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets or the Business after the Closing Date, (iv) all Taxes that are the responsibility of Purchaser under Article VI and (v) any and all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the Seller Guarantees; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no liability under this Section 9.2 as a result of the breach of or inaccuracy in any such representation or warranty to the extent that Seller had actual knowledge that such representation or warranty was untrue or incorrect prior to the date of this Agreement.

(c) The indemnity obligations of the Parties under this Article IX (other than, except as specifically provided in Section 9.2(c)(vi), any indemnity obligations with respect to Taxes that are the responsibility of Seller under Article VI) shall be subject to, and further limited by, the provisions as set forth in this Section 9.2(c).

(i) No indemnity shall be payable under this Article IX with respect to Losses for which the Indemnified Party has not provided the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice or Indemnity Notice, as applicable, with respect to such claim, setting forth in

reasonable detail the specific facts and circumstances pertaining thereto as soon as practical following the time at which the Indemnified Party discovered or reasonably should have discovered such claim. The failure to give such written notice as soon as practical shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by reason of such failure.

(ii) Each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions as may be reasonably required or necessary to mitigate, to the extent practicable, Losses in connection with claims for which a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee, as the case may be, seeks indemnification under this Article IX.

(iii) Seller shall have no indemnity obligations under this Article IX for Losses to the extent such Losses are reflected as a Liability of the Business included in the Audited Financial Statements or the Pro Forma Financial Statements or are otherwise taken into account for purposes of Section 1.6.

(iv) No Indemnifying Party shall have any indemnity obligations for special or punitive damages to the extent awarded against an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Party shall have any rights to set-off indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article IX against other obligations owed to any other Party. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser, for itself and its Affiliates, does hereby irrevocably release, hold harmless and forever discharge Seller and its Affiliates from any and all Liabilities arising pursuant to Environmental Law or with respect to Hazardous Materials resulting from or arising out of or in connection with the Purchased Assets except for fraud or the remedies expressly set forth in this Agreement. In furtherance of, but subject to, the foregoing, Purchaser, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights and benefits with respect to such Liabilities that it now has, or in the future may have conferred upon it by virtue of any Law or common law principle, in each case, which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which a party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, if knowledge of such claims would have materially affected such party’s settlement with the obligor. In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it and Seller or any of their respective Affiliates may have given, or hereafter may give, rise to Liabilities arising under Environmental Laws or with respect to Hazardous Materials, and Purchaser further agrees that the release set forth in this Section 9.2(c)(v) has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that awareness, and Purchaser, for itself and its Affiliates, nevertheless hereby intends

irrevocably to release, hold harmless and forever discharge Seller and its Affiliates from all such Liabilities except for fraud or the remedies expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(vi) No indemnity shall be payable under this Article IX with respect to Taxes (A) that have been paid by Seller or its Affiliates to the appropriate Taxing Authority prior to the Closing Date, (B) that result from any transactions undertaken on the Closing Date after the Closing by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Purchased Entities) outside the ordinary course of business for such entities and not already contemplated by this Agreement (including the Restructuring), (C) that would not have resulted but for any non-compliance of Purchaser with any of its obligations under this Agreement, (D) to the extent such Taxes are actually paid by, or obtained from, third parties, (E) that result from any change enacted after the Closing Date in the applicable Tax rates with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (F) for which a Tax Benefit (not otherwise reflected in the Audited Financial Statements or taken into account in determining the Purchase Price) of a Purchased Entity is carried over from a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a Post-Closing Tax Period and is available to set off or use against any liability for such Taxes of the same type and character for which such Tax Benefit relates, or (G) that are treated as arising to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than any Purchased Entities) as a result of a Degrouping Election pursuant to Section 6.4(b) or would have been so treated but for a failure by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser (including any Purchased Entity) to enter into a Degrouping Election upon a request by Seller pursuant to Section 6.4(b).

9.3 Indemnity Procedures. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 (other than claims for indemnification with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Article VI) shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 9.3.

(a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 9.2 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than Seller, Purchaser or any Affiliate of Seller or of Purchaser (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party. With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control the defense of such Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, including the right to settle such Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if the proposed settlement provides for relief other than the payment of money damages, the Indemnifying Party may settle such Third Party Claim only with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further, that if there exists a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, upon consultation with legal counsel, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim, including in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the

Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates). The Indemnified Party may, at its sole cost and expense, retain separate counsel to participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, its own counsel to control or participate in any Third Party Claim if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the Indemnifying Party fails to defend appropriately such Third Party Claim.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Third Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in Section 9.3(a), the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification under Section 9.2 for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if any proposed settlement provides for relief other than the payment of money damages, the Indemnified Party may settle such Third Party Claim only with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 9.2 against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver an Indemnity Notice to the Indemnifying Party. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by reason of such failure.

(d) In the event of any claim for indemnity under Section 9.2, the Indemnified Party agrees to give the Indemnifying Party and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives reasonable access to the Books and Records will use reasonable efforts to provide reasonable access to employees of the Business and the Purchased Entities in connection with the matters for which indemnification is sought, to the extent the Indemnifying Party reasonably deems necessary in connection with its rights and obligations under this Article IX.

9.4 Tax Effect.

(a) The amount of any Loss or Taxes for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax Benefit actually realized in the year of the loss or in the succeeding three (3) taxable years by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss.

(b) Any amounts paid pursuant to this Article IX shall be considered an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent allowed under applicable Law. Purchaser and Seller, and each of their respective Affiliates, shall prepare and file, and cause their Affiliates to prepare and file, Tax Returns (and if applicable, accounting documents) consistent with the treatment described in the foregoing sentence. The indemnities expressed to be given in favor of (i) the Purchaser Indemnitees under Section 9.2(b), and (ii) the Seller Indemnitees under Section 9.2(c), shall, to the extent the relevant Purchaser Indemnitee or the relevant Seller Indemnitee is a Person subject to United Kingdom corporation tax, so far as possible be treated as indemnities in favor of (i) Purchaser, and (ii) Seller, only and payments in respect of such indemnities shall be made as between Seller and Purchaser only.

9.5 Additional Provisions Related to Indemnification for Seller-Indemnified On-Site Environmental Liabilities and Breach of Section 2.15.

(a) Application. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 9.2(c) and 9.3 of this Agreement shall also apply to claims for indemnification related to Seller-Indemnified On-Site Environmental Liabilities. To the extent that a Purchaser Indemnitee makes a claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i)(A) for breach of the representations set forth in Section 2.15, the provisions of this Section 9.5 (other than Sections 9.5(b) and 9.5(c)) shall be applicable to such claim.

(b) Baskets and Caps. With respect to indemnification by Seller for any claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iii), (i) no claim shall be deemed to have occurred unless the amount of Losses with respect thereto exceeds $100,000 and (ii) Seller shall not be liable unless the aggregate amount of Losses for all such claims exceeds an amount equal to 1% of the Purchase Price (the “Aggregate Environmental Basket”) and then only to the extent of the amount of Losses in excess of such aggregate basket. For purposes of clarification, matters that are not subject to indemnification because the Losses incurred with respect to such matters do not exceed $100,000 shall not be counted towards the Aggregate Environmental Basket. Seller’s maximum liability for all claims arising pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iv) shall not exceed an amount equal to 5% of the Purchase Price in the aggregate.

(c) Survival. The right of Purchaser Indemnitees to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iii) shall survive the Closing for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the Closing Date (“Environmental Indemnity Survival Date”). A claim for indemnification pursuant to said section will continue to survive only if a Claim Notice or Indemnity Notice (as applicable) shall have been timely given in good faith based on facts reasonably expected to establish a valid claim under this Article IX or prior to the Environmental Indemnity Survival Date; provided, however, that if the Aggregate Environmental Basket is not exceeded by the Environmental Indemnity Survival Date, Seller shall have no indemnification obligations for any claims with respect to Seller-Indemnified On-Site Environmental Liabilities.

(d) Other Limitations on Indemnification. The following principles, terms and limitations shall apply to any claims for indemnification with respect to Seller-Indemnified On-Site Environmental Liabilities or related claims for breach of the representations set forth in Section 2.15:

(i) If the cost of investigation or remediation of actual or alleged contamination of the Business Real Properties, or the cost of correcting a non-compliance with Environmental Law that is subject to indemnity, is increased due to the actions or omissions by or on behalf of any Person other than Seller, its Affiliates, their respective Representatives or any Person for which or whom Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is responsible, Seller shall not be responsible to the extent of any such increase in costs incurred.

(ii) Seller shall only be obligated to indemnify Purchaser Indemnitees for fines or penalties arising out of actual or alleged noncompliance with Environmental Laws accruing during the period prior to the Closing Date or for expenditures made or

actions taken by Purchaser Indemnitees to achieve compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, to the extent the operations at the Business Real Property were not in compliance on the Closing Date, and shall in no event be liable (A) for any Losses arising out of any expenditures made or actions taken by any Purchaser Indemnitee to maintain compliance with applicable Environmental Laws based on circumstances arising after the Closing Date; (B) for expenditures that are not commercially reasonable, taking into account the obligation to come into compliance with applicable Environmental Law or, subject to the express written consent of Seller at Seller’s sole discretion, improve the Business Real Property in a manner that goes beyond what is required to bring said assets into compliance with applicable Environmental Law for the purpose of providing an economic benefit to a Purchaser Indemnitee; or (C) for operating costs relating to the ongoing operation of the Business at the Business Real Property, provided, for purposes of clarification, that this limitation does not apply to the costs incurred to correct the noncompliance that is the subject to indemnification hereunder.

(iii) Seller shall not be responsible for any Losses, including costs of investigation and remediation of properties impacted by Hazardous Materials, to the extent such Losses are incurred due to (A) actions that are not required by applicable Environmental Law or any demand, claim, action, suit, directive or order of a Governmental Authority or any third party, unless such actions are undertaken with the express written consent of Seller at Seller’s sole discretion; (B) any change in Environmental Laws or written interpretation thereof by the applicable Governmental Authority, in either case, after the Closing Date; (C) the closure of any Business Real Property after the Closing Date; (D) any change in the use of the Business Real Property after the Closing Date that would trigger investigation or remediation obligations or would result in the imposition of a more stringent remediation standard; or (E) any investigation or remediation that is conducted to achieve compliance in excess of the least stringent applicable remediation standard, consistent with the manufacturing operations at the Business Real Property in effect as of the Closing Date. Seller shall not be liable for any operating costs associated with post-remedial monitoring (excluding such monitoring that is implemented to verify that a remedial activity has achieved compliance with applicable remediation standards, prior to entering into a long-term post-remedial phase) and operations and maintenance after completion of a remediation of any environmental media. To the extent necessary to implement the foregoing, Purchaser Indemnitees shall agree to appropriate deed restrictions and engineering controls that prohibit uses of the property that are inconsistent with the least stringent remediation standard and limit exposure to contaminants that are allowed to remain in place.

(iv) Seller shall not be responsible for costs for investigation, remediation, corrective actions or other Losses arising out of or related to any investigation of soil or groundwater that any Purchaser Indemnitee voluntarily initiates, performs or causes to be performed by any Person or Governmental Authority, if such investigation is not required by any Environmental Law or demanded or required by a Governmental Authority, or is not a prudent response (without consideration of the indemnity provided hereunder) to a demand or claim by a third party.

(v) Seller shall not be responsible for any Losses arising as a result of any matter as to which a Purchaser Indemnitee has initiated contact with a Governmental Authority if the principal, but not necessarily exclusive, reason for the contact is to identify, enhance or accelerate a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

(vi) If any Purchaser or Affiliate of Purchaser sells any Business Real Property and the right of Purchaser Indemnitees to indemnification with respect to On-Site Environmental Liabilities has not terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.5 or Section 9.2(a)(i)(A) for breach of the representations set forth in Section 2.15, Purchaser shall or shall cause said Affiliate to include Section 9.5(d)(iii) or equivalent language in the purchase and sale agreement and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller Indemnitees for any Losses incurred by Seller Indemnitees due to the failure to comply with this obligation.

(vii) Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser Indemnitees for any costs and expenses associated with Purchaser Indemnitees’ oversight of Seller’s performance of its defense and indemnity obligations, and Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser Indemnitees for any internal costs attributed to the time spent on an indemnified matter by any of Purchaser Indemnitees.

(e) Control of Investigation or Remediation.

(i) With respect to any matter subject to indemnification by Seller that relates to the investigation or remediation of any Release of Hazardous Materials at or from the Business Real Property, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take the lead and implement any such investigation or remediation. Seller shall promptly provide copies to Purchaser of all notices, correspondence, draft reports, submissions, work plans, and final reports and shall give Purchaser a reasonable opportunity (at Purchaser’s own expense) to comment on any submissions Seller intends to deliver or submit to the appropriate regulatory body prior to said submission. Purchaser may, at its own expense, hire its own consultants, attorneys or other professionals to monitor the investigation or remediation, including any field work undertaken by Seller, and Seller shall provide Purchaser with the results of all such field work. Notwithstanding the above, Purchaser shall not take any actions that shall unreasonably interfere with Seller’s performance of the investigation, remediation and/or containment. Seller shall undertake any such work required herein in a manner designed to minimize any disruption with the conduct of operations at the property. Purchaser shall allow Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives reasonable access upon reasonable advance notice to the Business Real Property to conduct any of the work contemplated herein and shall fully cooperate with Seller in the performance of the investigation, remediation or containment, including, but not limited to, providing Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives with reasonable access to employees and documents as necessary.

(ii) If Seller declines to undertake the performance of an investigation and remediation hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled to control the investigation and remediation. Purchaser shall promptly provide copies to Seller of all notices,

correspondence, draft reports, submissions, work plans, and final reports and shall give Seller a reasonable opportunity to comment on any submissions Purchaser intends to deliver or submit to the appropriate regulatory body prior to said submission. Seller may, at its own expense, hire its own consultants, attorneys or other professionals to monitor the investigation and remediation, including any field work undertaken by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall provide Seller with the results of all such field work. Notwithstanding the above, Seller shall not take any actions that shall unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s performance of the investigation and remediation. Seller’s decision to allow Purchaser to undertake investigation and remediation hereunder shall not limit or affect Seller’s obligation to indemnify Purchaser for said investigation and remediation as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including the limits on said obligation as set forth in this Section 9.5.

9.6 Insurance Offset. If the amount of any indemnifiable Losses, at any time following the payment of an indemnification obligation, is offset or reduced by the payment of any insurance proceeds, the amount of such insurance proceeds, less any costs, expenses, premiums or Taxes incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to any future increase in insurance premiums, retroactive premiums, costs associated with any loss of insurance and replacement thereof or self-insured component of such insurance coverage) shall be promptly repaid to the Indemnifying Party.

No assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations provided by this Agreement (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) shall be made by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such attempted assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Affiliates of Purchaser without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, further, that Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance by any such assignee of its obligations hereunder; provided, further, that Purchaser may pledge or collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement to one or more Financing Sources or any administrative agent, collateral agent or security trustee of such Persons without the prior written consent of the other Parties as collateral security for its obligations under the Financing Documents.

11.2 Public Announcements. No Party shall issue or make any public announcement, press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without Seller’s prior written consent, in the case of any proposed disclosure by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or without Purchaser’s prior written consent, in the case of any proposed disclosure by Seller or Rexam or any of their respective Affiliates, except for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of the disclosing Party’s counsel, required by applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing Party are listed or necessary to comply with announcement obligations under the City Code. In the event a Party is, in the opinion of its counsel, required to make a public disclosure by applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which its securities are listed, such Party shall, to the extent practicable, submit the proposed disclosure in writing to Seller, in the case of any proposed disclosure by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, in the case of any proposed disclosure by Seller or Rexam or any of their respective

111

Affiliates, prior to the date of disclosure and provide Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.

11.3 Expenses. Whether or not the Transaction is consummated, except as otherwise specified herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses with respect to the Transaction.

11.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future Laws effective during the term hereof (including but not limited to anything not permitted under Rule 21.2 of the City Code), such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision never comprised a part hereof and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement, a provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

11.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for (a) Article IX which is intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, the parties specified therein and (b) this Section 11.5 and Sections 11.6 through 11.9 and Section 11.19 which are intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, each Financing Source, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties, each as applicable, and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the Parties, each as applicable, and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

11.6 Amendment; Waiver. The failure of any Party to enforce any condition or part of this Agreement at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of that condition or part, nor shall it forfeit any rights to future enforcement thereof. Any waiver hereunder shall be effective only if delivered to the other Parties in writing by the Party making such waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the Parties; provided, however, that no modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be made that would adversely affect the rights of the Financing Sources as set forth in Sections 11.5 through Section 11.9 or Section 11.19 without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

11.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of Laws provisions thereof.

11.8 Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the United States District Court located in New York, New York in the Borough of Manhattan so long as such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action, or alternatively in the New York State Court located in New York, New York in the Borough of Manhattan if the aforesaid United States District Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of New York, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such court (and of

112

the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Action and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Action in any such court or that any such Action which is brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Action may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 11.14 shall be deemed effective service of process on such Party.

11.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY: (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.9.

11.10 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that, in view of the uniqueness of the Business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that this Agreement has not been performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the other Parties (on behalf of itself and the third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement provided in Section 11.5) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other (as applicable), and this right shall include the right of Seller to cause Purchaser and the Purchaser Financing Parties, as applicable, to draw upon and cause the Financing to be fully funded if the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) or waived. Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

11.11 Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

11.12 Counterparts. The Parties may execute this Agreement in one or more counterparts, and each fully executed counterpart shall be deemed an original.

11.13 Further Documents. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, at the request of the other Party, execute and deliver to such other Party all such further instruments, assignments, assurances and other documents as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with the carrying out of this Agreement and the Transaction.

11.14 Notices. All communications, notices and Consents provided for herein shall be in writing and be given in person or by means of email, telex, facsimile or other means of wire transmission (with request for assurance of receipt in a manner typical with respect to communications of that type), by overnight courier or by mail, and shall become effective: (a) on delivery if given in person; (b) on the date of transmission if sent by email, telex, facsimile or other means of wire transmission; (c) one (1) Business Day after delivery to the overnight service; or (d) four (4) Business Days after being mailed, with proper postage and documentation, for first-class registered or certified mail, prepaid.
