or indirectly, as a principal or for its own account or solely or jointly with
others, or as a stockholder or equity owner in any corporation or other entity,
in any business (whether such business was established by Vitro or any of its
Affiliates or was acquired as an existing business) or as a licensor of
technology for any business that manufactures Anchor Products (as defined
herein) in the United States and Canada (a "Competing Business"); provided that

sales (based on its latest published annual audited financial statements)
attributable to any business engaged in a Competing Business, (ii) of less than
10% of the stock or other ownership interests in a company or other entity

(iv) Except as set forth above in this Section 4, Vitro shall not be
prohibited or restricted in any manner with respect to the ability to
manufacture, sell, license or otherwise deal in any Anchor Products or any other
products.
(c) Vitro agrees that from the date hereof to the first anniversary
of the Closing Date neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall directly or
indirectly solicit for employment any employees of Anchor other than the persons
set forth on Schedule A hereto.
(d) (i) Vitro agrees, that for a period of five full years from the
Closing Date, neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall enter into any joint
venture, partnership or similar arrangement (a "Joint Venture") with another
person to manufacture Anchor Products in Canada, unless prior thereto (A) Vitro
shall have provided written notice (the "Vitro Notice") to Consumers of its
intention to enter into a Joint Venture and setting forth the material terms of
the proposed Joint Venture and (B) either (I) Consumers shall not have provided
written notice to Vitro within 30 days after the Vitro Notice is given to
Consumers of its intention to enter into such Joint Venture with Vitro or any
such Vitro Affiliate or (II) Consumers shall have provided written notice within
30 days after the Vitro Notice is given to Consumers of its intention to enter
into the Joint Venture with Vitro or any such Vitro Affiliate, but such Joint
Venture between Consumers and Vitro or any such Vitro Affiliate shall have not
been consummated, after good faith efforts by Vitro or any such Vitro Affiliate,
within 180 days after the Vitro Notice is given to Consumers. If the conditions
set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above shall have been satisfied, then Vitro or
its Affiliates may enter into a Joint Venture with a third party on terms not
materially more favorable in the aggregate to the third party than those set
forth in the Vitro Notice.
(ii) If there is a "Change of Control" (as defined below) of Vitro,
then the second proviso to Section 4(a) hereof shall no longer apply to Vitro or
any successor thereto, any subsidiary of Vitro or such successor or any other
entity controlled by Vitro or such successor. For purposes of this paragraph,
"Change of Control" means, with respect to Vitro, the occurrence of any of the
following events: (i) any person (a) shall acquire, in a transaction or series
of transactions, outstanding securities of Vitro which, when added to the voting
power previously held, entitles such person to exercise more than fifty percent
(50%) of the total voting power of Vitro in the election of directors or (b)
shall become the "beneficial owner" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of fifty percent
(50%) or more of the outstanding common stock of Vitro; or (ii) Vitro shall (a)
consolidate or merge with any other person, but only if shares of Vitro's common
stock are converted into cash, securities or other property in a transaction in
which the holders of Vitro's common stock immediately prior to the merger hold
in the aggregate less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the
continuing or surviving corporation or (b) sell, lease, exchange, or otherwise
transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) all, or
substantially all, of the assets of Vitro.
(e) If any provision contained in this Section 4 shall for any
reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions
of this Section 4, but this Section 4 shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the
intention of
7
8
the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is
held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not
permitted by applicable law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any
extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no
effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under
applicable law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret
or reform this Section 4 to provide for a covenant having the maximum
enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than
those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable
law. Vitro acknowledges that New Anchor would be irreparably harmed by any
breach of this Section 4 and that there would be no adequate remedy at law or in
damages to compensate New Anchor for any such breach. Vitro agrees that New
Anchor shall be entitled to injunctive relief requiring specific performance by
Vitro of this Section 4.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement, "Affiliate" of a person means
any person which Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with,
such person; "Anchor Products" means glass containers used in the food and
beverage industries other than Specialty Products; "Specialty Products" means,
collectively, (A) decorated xxxx, also known as "ACL", (B) larger xxxx (i.e.,
glass containers of three gallon size or larger) and (C) miniature bottles and
samplers; and "Control" means either (I) direct or indirect ownership of 50%
(or, in the case of clause (iii) of the first proviso of Section 4(a) only, 33%)
or more of the voting equity interests of a person or (II) direct or indirect
power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a
person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise; and "Controlled" and "Controlling" have correlative meanings.
5. Vitro Packaging. (a) Prior to the date of this Agreement,
Affiliates of Vitro have purchased glass containers manufactured by Anchor from
Anchor in order to fulfill customer orders in the United States depending on the
product and delivery requirements of the customer order. New Anchor understands
that Vitro's distribution Affiliates also purchase supplies of glass containers
from manufacturing Affiliates of Vitro. Vitro agrees that, subject to paragraphs
(b) and (c) of this Section 5, its distribution Affiliates shall purchase not
less than 1.3 million gross of glass containers of a similar variety (such
variety being subject to market conditions) from New Anchor in any year during
the 5-year period commencing on the Closing Date unless there is a proportionate
reduction in the amount of Anchor Products sold by Vitro's manufacturing
Affiliates for distribution in the United States market during such year.
Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 5, the purchase of such glass
containers shall be on the same terms and conditions (including comparable
quality and service) as such glass containers are presently supplied by Anchor
to Vitro and its Affiliates.
(b) Vitro represents that the purchase price paid by Vitro and its
Affiliates for such glass containers presently supplied by Anchor to Vitro and
its Affiliates is equal to standard cost (determined pursuant to consistently
applied procedures), plus 10%, FOB the factory (the "Price Formula"). The
purchase price (the "Purchase Price") to be paid by Vitro and its Affiliates to
New Anchor for any such glass containers purchased by Vitro and its Affiliates
pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined pursuant to the Price Formula,
with standard cost being determined in the same manner and using the same
procedures as are currently used by Anchor to determine the purchase price
charged by Anchor to Vitro and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if, prior to any such purchase of glass containers by Vitro or its Affiliates
from New Anchor
8
9
pursuant to this Section 5, Vitro demonstrates to New Anchor that the Price
Formula is commercially unreasonable with respect to such purchase of glass
containers, New Anchor and Vitro shall negotiate in good faith to determine the
appropriate price for such purchase of glass containers, taking into account the
then current market price for, and cost to manufacture, such amount of glass
containers (but without reference to Vitro pricing for similarly situated
customers in the relevant geographic area). If New Anchor and Vitro are unable
to agree upon the appropriate price for such purchase of glass containers, Vitro
may purchase such glass containers from another source of supply. If Vitro and
its distribution Affiliates shall have failed to fulfill the obligation to
purchase the amount of glass containers required pursuant to Section 5(a) (the
"Purchase Obligation") at the end of any year during the five year period
commencing on the Closing Date, as a result of the failure during such year of
New Anchor and Vitro to agree in good faith on prices for certain purchases of
glass containers pursuant to this Section 5(b), Vitro shall be deemed not to
have failed to fulfill the Purchase Obligation to the extent of the aggregate
gross amount of the glass containers as to which New Anchor and Vitro were
unable during such year to agree in good faith on the prices.
(c) If New Anchor or its Affiliates sells glass containers to a
customer who had previously purchased glass containers from Vitro or its
Affiliates and Vitro and its Affiliates had supplied such customer orders with
purchases from New Anchor or Anchor, the annual 1.3 million gross of glass
containers referred to in clause (a) of this Section 5 shall be reduced by the
number of glass containers which such customer had ordered from Vitro and its
Affiliates during the 12-month period ending on the date of the last sale to
such customer by Vitro or its Affiliates.
(d) Vitro and New Anchor agree to cooperate in good faith in the
administration of sales pursuant to this Section 5, through participation in
periodic planning sessions to review Vitro's expected requirements and New
Anchor's manufacturing capacity and availability. New Anchor shall provide Vitro
with detailed information concerning its determination of the Purchase Price for
sales under this Section 5 and such backup information with respect thereto as
Vitro shall reasonably request. Not more than once per year on reasonable notice
to New Anchor, Vitro shall have the right to obtain an audit of the
determination by New Anchor of the Purchase Prices paid by Vitro and its
Affiliates to New Anchor pursuant to this Section 5 by an independent nationally
recognized accounting firm appointed by it, reasonably satisfactory to New
Anchor, which such firm shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with
New Anchor. Such Audit shall be at Vitro's cost and expense unless the auditor
finds that the aggregate Purchase Prices charged by New Anchor to Vitro during
any annual period were more than 5% in excess of the amounts that should have
been charged in accordance with this Agreement, in which event New Anchor shall
bear the cost of such audit.
6. Environmental Indemnity. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth
in this Section 6, Vitro shall indemnify New Anchor and its Affiliates against
and hold each of them harmless from any and all damage, loss, cost, liability
and expense (including (A) capital or operating expenditures required to achieve
compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a
condition of any license, permit or agreement, each as in effect under
Environmental Laws as of the Closing Date, (B) costs to investigate any known or
potential environmental matter, including any matters disclosed in Schedule 3.12
to the Asset Purchase Agreement and in the Supplemental Environmental Notice (as
defined below), (C) administrative
9
10
oversight costs (not including, however, any costs, expenses or hourly fees
imputed to New Anchor's employees on account of their oversight of or
participation in, any investigation or remediation) and reasonable expenses of
investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical
personnel, (D) costs of remediation, cleanup, removal and disposal and (E)
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) but excluding lost profits and any
other consequential damages (collectively, "Loss"), incurred or suffered by New
Anchor or any of its Affiliates arising out of or in connection with matters
arising or relating to Environmental Laws (as defined below) (including any
matter disclosed or required to be disclosed in Schedule 3.12 to the Asset
Purchase Agreement or in the Supplemental Environmental Notice which (y) relate
to or arise in connection with Anchor or any of its subsidiaries, the Purchased
Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), the Business (as defined in
the Asset Purchase Agreement) or any properties now or previously owned, leased
or operated by Anchor or any of its subsidiaries and (z) arise out of or in
connection with actions occurring (including offsite disposal of wastes or
Hazardous Substances) or conditions existing on or prior to the Closing Date
(collectively, the "Environmental Liabilities"). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) Vitro shall not be liable to indemnify New Anchor or its Affiliates for any
Environmental Liability under this Section 6 which in any manner relates to or
arises in connection with the Rocky Mountain Bottling Company plant located in
Colorado or the properties located in Antioch, California or Hayward, California
or the Business or operations currently or previously conducted thereon; (ii)
Vitro shall not be liable to indemnify New Anchor or its Affiliates for any
Environmental Liability under this Section 6 unless and until the aggregate
amount of all such Environmental Liabilities exceeds $15,000,000 and New Anchor
or its Affiliates shall have actually paid the first $15,000,000 of
Environmental Liabilities; (iii) Vitro shall only be liable to indemnify New
Anchor or its Affiliates for 50% of the aggregate amount of Environmental
Liabilities which exceeds $15,000,000 but is less than or equal to $30,000,000
and only if such amount has actually been paid by New Anchor or its Affiliates;
(iv) Vitro shall be liable to indemnify New Anchor and its Affiliates for 100%
of the aggregate amount of Environmental Liabilities which exceeds $30,000,000
but is less than or equal to $45,000,000 but only if New Anchor or its
Affiliates have actually paid their share of the first $30,000,000 as set forth
in clauses (ii) and (iii) above; and (v) Vitro shall have no liability pursuant
to this Section 6 for any amount of Environmental Liabilities which exceeds
$45,000,000. Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall be construed to require
Vitro, and Vitro shall not otherwise be required, to indemnify or be liable to,
any persons or entities, other than New Anchor and its Affiliates for any Loss.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to
environmental matters for which Vitro is potentially obligated to indemnify New
Anchor and its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 6, New Anchor shall have the
option to retain exclusive control of the resolution of any such environmental
matter, including the exclusive option to (i) conduct and obtain any tests,
reports, surveys and investigations, (ii) contact Governmental Entities, make
any report to such Governmental Entities and submit any remediation or
compliance plans to such Governmental Entities, (iii) prepare any work plan for
any remediation or correction of noncompliance, (iv) conduct or direct any such
remediation or correction of noncompliance and (v) control any proceeding,
action, litigation or claim.
(c) In performing any remedial, removal or cleanup activities (the
"Remedial Activities") in connection with this Section 6, New Anchor agrees that
it will use reasonable, cost
10
11
effective methods under the circumstances, to be determined by taking into
account as a factor methods which will permit completion of any such Remedial
Activity prior to the expiration of the relevant indemnity period and allow the
use of the property as used as of the Closing Date; provided that New Anchor
shall, prior to initiating any Remedial Activity which would have a cost in
excess of $100,000 that would not represent a reasonable, cost effective method
of completing such Remedial Activity if the term of the indemnity were
indefinite, provide Vitro with a reasonably detailed description of the proposed
activity (it being understood and agreed that initial remedial plans and any
significant modifications thereto shall constitute a reasonably detailed
description) and a reasonable period of time, given the specific circumstances
(it being understood and agreed that a period of 30 calendar days shall
constitute a reasonable period of time unless an imminent and substantial
endangerment to human health or the environment exists in which event New Anchor
shall only be required to provide such prior notice, if any, as is reasonable
under the circumstances), to permit Vitro to comment on such proposed activity,
provided that failure to give such notice shall not relieve Vitro from any
liability under this Section 6 except to the extent that Vitro has been
prejudiced by such failure.
(d) New Anchor shall submit any invoices or reimbursement requests
for which it is seeking indemnification under this Section 6 to Vitro on a
quarterly basis, and Vitro shall promptly pay any such invoices or requests or,
if applicable, Vitro's proportionate share of such invoices or requests.
(e)(i) New Anchor shall provide to Vitro annual or semi-annual
status reports describing significant environmental projects covered by this
Section 6, and New Anchor shall provide to Vitro any information reasonably
requested by Vitro relating to the matters covered by this Section 6 promptly
after any such request.
(ii) If any Governmental Entity intends to take any action
which would be reasonably likely to result in a direct claim against Vitro under

promptly after New Anchor has knowledge thereof, provided that failure to give
such notice shall not relieve Vitro from any liability under this Section 6
except to the extent that Vitro has been prejudiced by such failure. Subject to
clause (b) of this Section 6, Vitro shall have the right to participate with New
Anchor in resolving any such disputes with a Governmental Entity.
(f) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Vitro
shall use all reasonable efforts to cause Anchor to provide New Anchor with a
list of environmental matters which have arisen or been discovered between the
date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (the "Supplemental Environmental
Notice") which constitute specific exceptions to the representations set forth
in Section 3.12 of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Vitro agrees that each item in
the Supplemental Environmental Notice shall be as specific as possible,
including disclosure as to the location, nature, extent and status of any
contamination. In the event that the parties disagree about whether an item
belongs on, or is sufficiently disclosed in, the Supplemental Environmental
Notice, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith as to the nature and
content of such disclosure. If the parties cannot agree, the parties shall
choose a mutually acceptable independent environmental consultant to determine
whether such item (i) constitutes a
11
12
recognizable environmental condition and (ii) is sufficiently disclosed, and
shall abide by the decision of such consultant.
(g) Vitro's obligation to indemnify New Anchor and its Affiliates
under this Section 6 shall survive for six years after the Closing Date
(including any Losses actually incurred within such six-year period), provided
that Vitro's indemnification obligation shall survive for ten years after the
Closing Date (including any Losses actually incurred within such ten-year
period) in connection with any Environmental Liabilities arising out of or in
connection with
(i) (x) any obligations under the Industrial Site Recovery Act
(or the Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act) at the property located
in Salem, New Jersey and (y) known groundwater contamination at the
properties located at Chattanooga, Tennessee (including any investigation,
remediation, or monitoring in connection with regional deep aquifer
contamination), Shakopee, Minnesota and Winchester, Indiana, and
investigations, remediation and monitoring of potential groundwater
contamination arising out of or in connection with contamination in the
area of the northern boundary of the railroad siding north of the
maintenance shop at the property located at Chattanooga, Tennessee;
(ii) off-site disposal of wastes or Hazardous Substances by
Anchor or any of its subsidiaries or in connection with any properties now
or previously owned, leased or operated by Anchor or any of its
subsidiaries, including liability under CERCLA; and
(iii) properties that were not owned, Leased or operated by
Anchor or any of its subsidiaries on the Closing Date but which were, at
some point prior to the Closing Date, owned, leased or operated by Anchor
or any of its Subsidiaries.
For purposes of this Section 6, the following terms shall have the
meanings set forth below:
"Anchor" and "subsidiary" shall include any entity which is, in
whole or in part, a predecessor of Anchor or any subsidiary of Anchor.
"CERCLA" means the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time and
any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.
"Environmental Laws" means any and all federal, state, local or
foreign law, treaty, regulation, rule, judicial decision, judgment, order,
decree, injunction, permit or agreement relating to human health and
safety, the environment or to pollutants, contaminants, wastes or
chemicals or any toxic, radioactive, ignitable, corrosive, reactive or
otherwise hazardous substances, wastes or materials.
"Hazardous Substance" means any pollutant, contaminant or waste or
any toxic, radioactive, ignitable, corrosive, reactive or otherwise
hazardous substance, waste or
12
13
material, including petroleum, its derivatives, by-products and other
hydrocarbons, and any substance, material or chemical regulated under
Environmental Laws.
7. Indemnity. (a) Vitro hereby indemnifies New Anchor and its
Affiliates and holds each of them harmless from any and all Loss incurred or
suffered by New Anchor or any of its Affiliates arising out of any
misrepresentation or breach of warranty (disregarding any limitation on the
survival of representations and warranties contained in the Asset Purchase
Agreement) made by Anchor in (i) Section 3.05(b) of the Asset Purchase Agreement
(without giving any effect to the materiality qualification in such
representation and warranty) and (ii) Section 3.12(b) of the Asset Purchase
Agreement; provided that (X) Vitro shall not be liable for any Loss under clause
(i) above unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds
$3,750,000 and then only to the extent of such excess, and the liability of
Vitro for any Loss under clause (i) above shall not exceed $37,500,000 in the
aggregate and (Y) Vitro shall not be liable for any Loss under clause (ii) above
unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $1,000,000 and
then only to the extent of such excess, and the liability of Vitro for any Loss
under clause (ii) above shall not exceed $37,500,000 in the aggregate; provided,
further, that Vitro shall not be liable for any Loss under clause (i) above if
(I) the Buyers have received written notice prior to the Closing under the Asset
Purchase Agreement of a material liability or obligation relating to the
Purchased Assets or the Business (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement)
which would be required to be disclosed on Schedule 3.05 to the Asset Purchase
Agreement and is not so set forth on such schedule and (II) the Closing under
the Asset Purchase Agreement occurs after the Buyers have waived the disclosed
breach of Section 3,05(b) of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
(b) The indemnity obligation of Vitro contained in this Section 7
shall terminate on the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the
indemnity obligation of Vitro contained in this Section 7 shall survive the time
it would otherwise terminate if written notice of any claim, event, condition,
proceeding or other matter giving rise to such right to indemnity shall have
been given to Vitro prior to such time.
(c) Any person that may be entitled to indemnification under this
Section 7 (an "Indemnified Party") shall give written notice to Vitro with
reasonable promptness upon becoming aware of any claim or other facts upon which
a claim for indemnification will be based; provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not relieve Vitro from any liability under this Section 7,
except to the extent that Vitro has been prejudiced by such failure. The notice
shall set forth such information with respect thereto as is then reasonably
available to the Indemnified Party. Except as otherwise provided in this Section
7, with respect to any such claim or proceeding by or in respect of a third
party, Vitro shall have the right to direct, through counsel of its own
choosing, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the defense or
settlement thereof at its own expenses. If Vitro elects to assume the defense of
any such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense, but in such case the expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by
the Indemnified Party; provided that the fees and expenses of one counsel plus
any local counsel (if necessary), for all Indemnified Parties shall be borne by
Vitro if representation of both Vitro and the Indemnified Parties by one counsel
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
Vitro and the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnified Party shall provide Vitro
with reasonable access to its records and
13
14
personnel relating to any such claim, assertion, event or proceeding during
normal business hours and shall otherwise cooperate with Vitro in the defense or
settlement thereof, of Vitro shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. No such third party
claim may be settled by the Indemnified Party without the written consent of
Vitro, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and Vitro shall not be
liable for any claim settled without its consent. If Vitro shall fail to
promptly defend or fail to promptly prosecute or withdraws from such defense,
the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or
settlement thereof, at Vitro's expense. If the Indemnified Party assumes the
defense of any such claim or proceeding pursuant to this Section and proposes to
settle such claim or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forego
any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give Vitro
prompt written notice thereof and Vitro shall have the right to participate in
the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claim or proceeding.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Vitro may not settle
any claim or proceeding involving equitable relief against New Anchor or any of
its Affiliates without the prior written consent of New Anchor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
8. Letters of Credit. New Anchor agrees that on the Closing Date,
New Anchor shall replace the Vitro letter of credit facilities described in
Schedule B hereto if and to the extent such letter of credit facilities relate
to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities with letters of credit or
other arrangements satisfactory to the holders of such letters of credit. In
addition, New Anchor agrees that it shall reimburse Vitro for any draw under any
such letter of credit facility made after September 13, 1996 if and to the
extent (i) such letter of credit facility relates to the Purchased assets and
Assumed Liabilities and (ii) such draw results in an equivalent reduction in the
amount that the Buyers would otherwise have been required to pay in connection
with the Asset Purchase Agreement after giving full effect to the provisions
thereof.
9. Tampa Lease. New Anchor understands that Vitro has guaranteed all
obligations of Anchor under that certain Lease Agreement dated as of March 31,
1988 as modified and amended, (the "Lease") by and between Anchor and Fountain
Associates I, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership (the "Borrower"), as modified
and amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of June 16, 1992,
as further modified and amended by that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated
as of September 30, 1993 and as further modified and amended by that certain
Third Amendment to Lease dated as of February 22, 1995, and as further modified
by that certain Agreement dated as of March 31, 1996 (the "Waiver Agreement")
among Anchor, the Borrower and Citicorp Leasing, Inc. (the "Lender"), which
provided for the waiver of the default under the Lease pursuant to Section
9(a)(13) of the Lease (the "Lease Default"), through September 15, 1996, and
that certain Amended and Restated Agreement dated as of September 12, 1996 (the
"Amended and Restated Waiver Agreement") among Anchor, the Borrower and the
Lender, which provided for the waiver of the Lease Default through January 15,
1997, and the related Building Option Agreement dated as of March 31, 1988
between Anchor and the Borrower, as modified and amended by the First Amendment
to Building Option Agreement dated as of June 16, 1992, and as further modified
and amended by that certain Agreement dated as of June 16, 1992, and as further
modified and amended by the Waiver Agreement and the Amended and Restated Waiver
Agreement (collectively, the "Tampa Lease Obligations"). New Anchor confirms
that, if the Buyers proceed with the Closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement,
on the Closing Date New Anchor will assume the Lease and from and after
14
15
the Closing Date will perform the Tampa Lease Obligations, subject to such
modifications, if any, as shall be made in the Tampa Lease Obligations in
accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, so that Vitro will not have to
make any payments in respect of the Tampa Lease Obligations under its guarantee
thereof.
9.A. Vitro Contribution. Vitro agrees that upon (i) replacement or
termination of the letter of credit facilities in accordance with Section 8,
(ii) reimbursement of any draws on the related letters of credit, (iii)
assumption of Tampa Lease Obligations in accordance with Section 9, and (iv)
delivery of an effective release of Vitro from any and all obligations and
claims by or on behalf of Anchor or its creditors' committee, Vitro shall
contribute $8.4 million to the bankruptcy estate of Anchor.
10. Use of Anchor Name. After the Closing Date, except as provided
in Section 5.06 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Vitro shall not, and shall not
permit any of its Affiliates to, use the name or xxxx "Anchor" or "Anchor Glass"
or any derivative thereof for any commercial purpose.
11. Best Efforts of Consumers and New Anchor. Each of Consumers and
New Anchor agrees that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement as in
effect on the date hereof without any waiver, modification or amendment thereto
which is adverse to the interests of Vitro.
12. Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by
any party hereto, the other parties shall execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or
cause to be taken, all such further or other actions (subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement) as such other party may reasonably deem necessary
or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
13. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall

14. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole

this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by
all parties hereto. No
15
16
failure or delay by any party in exercising a right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege.

permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by
hand or sent by confirmed fax or sent, postage prepaid, by registered, certified
