(a) The Administrative Agent’s receipt of this Amendment, duly executed by the Borrowers, the Guarantors existing as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, which shall be an original or facsimile (followed promptly by an original) unless otherwise specified, properly executed by a responsible officer of the signing Credit Party.

(b) Payment of all expenses of the Administrative Agent to the extent invoiced at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date (except as otherwise reasonably agreed to by the Borrowers), required to be paid on the Second Amendment Effective Date.

For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 3, each Lender that has signed this Amendment shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Second Amendment Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

SECTION 4. Costs and Expenses. Each Borrower hereby reconfirms its obligations pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Amended Credit Agreement to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(g), the Swingline Lender will not make a Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice of (x) rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (y) the cure or waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

(h) Refunding of Swingline Loans. On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Revolving Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars or Euros, as applicable (provided that (x) such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Article X and (y) if a Sharing Event shall have occurred, all such Swingline Loans shall be denominated in Dollars in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16, and refunded through a Mandatory Borrowing denominated in Dollars as provided below), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans denominated in the respective Applicable Currency (subject to the provisions of the parenthetical in preceding clause (y)) (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day (or, with respect to Revolving Loans denominated in Euros, on the second succeeding Business Day) from all Revolving Lenders (without giving effect to any termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to the last paragraph of Article X) pro rata based on each such Revolving Lender’s RL Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to the last paragraph of Article X), and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one (1) Business Day’s notice (or, with respect to Mandatory Borrowings denominated in Euros, upon two (2) Business Days’ notice) pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Borrowings otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Article VI are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing and (v) the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding of the type referred to in Section 10.05 with respect to any of the Revolving Borrowers), then each Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Revolving Borrowers on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause such Revolving Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to the last paragraph of Article X); provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days (or, in the case of Euro Denominated Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent’s customary rate for interbank advances in Euros) and at the rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans or Euro Rate Loans, as applicable, hereunder for each day thereafter.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.01(h), upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, all outstanding Swingline Loans shall, as provided in Section 2.16, be automatically converted into Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans and, to the extent the respective Mandatory Borrowing has not already occurred in respect of such Swingline Loans, a Mandatory Borrowing shall be effected with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.01(h).

(i) Adjustment of Participations in Swingline Loans. If the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then on the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date); provided that, if on the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans, there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to Extended Revolving Loan Commitments, which will remain in effect after the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

Section 2.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Tranche of Loans. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than thirty Borrowings of Euro Rate Loans and CDOR Rate Loans in the aggregate.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Swingline Loans and Mandatory Borrowings. (i) Whenever a Revolving Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, such Revolving Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender (i) not later than 1:00 P.M. (Local Time) on the date that a Dollar Denominated Swingline Loan is to be incurred hereunder and (ii) not later than 11 A.M. (London time) on the date that a Euro Denominated Swingline Loan is to be incurred hereunder, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the aggregate principal amount (stated in the Applicable Currency) of the Swingline Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing and (C) whether the respective Swingline Loan shall constitute a Dollar Denominated Swingline Loan or a Euro Denominated Swingline Loan.

(c) Telephonic Notice. Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing, reasonably believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from the president, a vice president, the chief financial officer, managing director, the treasurer or an assistant treasurer of such Borrower (or any other officer, employee or authorized individual of such Borrower designated in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender by the president, a vice president, the chief financial officer, the treasurer or an assistant treasurer of such Borrower as being authorized to give such notices under this Agreement) prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, each Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing of Loans.

Section 2.04 Disbursement of Funds. No later than 12:00 Noon (Local Time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 3:00 P.M. (Local Time, in the case of Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans or London time, in the case of Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of

Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 12:00 Noon (Local Time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(h)), each Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars (or, in the case of Alternate Currency Loans, in the Alternate Currency for the relevant Tranche) and in immediately available funds at the applicable Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the relevant Borrower at such Payment Office in Dollars (or, in the case of Alternate Currency Loans, in the Alternate Currency for such Tranche) the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders; provided that, if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (other than a Mandatory Borrowing), there are Unpaid Drawings or Swingline Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to the payment in full of any such Swingline Loans, and third, to the respective Borrower as otherwise provided above. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and such Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or such Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of Alternate Currency Loans, the Administrative Agent’s customary rate for interbank advances in the relevant Alternate Currency) for the first three days and at the rate of interest otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from such Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Foreign Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (x) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Foreign Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (y) such foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate shall not be entitled to any benefits under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 5.04 in excess of the amount of benefits such Lender would be entitled to under this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Dollar Loans and/or Canadian Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that any conversion of one Type of Canadian Term Loan into another Type of Canadian Term Loan shall not constitute a repayment of any Canadian Term Loan being so converted.

(b) The Canadian Revolving Borrowers shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day occurring on or after the Effective Date, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing

Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Canadian Revolving Loans constituting Canadian Prime Rate Loans into a Borrowing of CDOR Rate Loans; provided, that (i) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Canadian Prime Rate Loans may only be converted into CDOR Rate Loans if no Specified Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (ii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall result in a greater number of CDOR Rate Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be effected by the relevant Canadian Revolving Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the applicable Notice Office prior to 1:00 P.M. (Local Time) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Canadian Prime Rate Loans to be so converted into CDOR Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall give each Canadian Revolving Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

Section 2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of US A Term Loans, Canadian A Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans under a given Tranche, Canadian Revolving Loans and Revolving Loans shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments for such Tranche of Loans; provided that (x) all Borrowings of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing shall be incurred from the Revolving Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective RL Percentages and (y) all Borrowings of Swingline Loans shall be incurred from the Swingline Lender. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender or Lenders to make its or their Loans hereunder.

Section 2.08 Interest. (a) Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan and Canadian Prime Rate Loan (including with respect to any (x) Euro Rate Loan converted into a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.16 or (y) CDOR Rate Loan converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.16) made to such Borrower hereunder from the date of Borrowing thereof (or, in the circumstances described in the immediately preceding parenthetical, from the date of conversion of the respective Euro Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan or the respective CDOR Rate Loan into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be) until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or such Canadian Prime Rate Loan to a CDOR Rate Loan, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.06, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to (x) in the case of Dollar Loans, the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate and (y) in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans, the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Canadian Prime Rate, in each case, as in effect from time to time.

(b) Euro Rate Loans and CDOR Rate Loans. Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Euro Rate Loan (other than a Euro Denominated Swingline Loan) and CDOR Rate Loan made to such Borrower from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) (A) in the case of Dollar Loans, the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10 as applicable, (B) in the case of Canadian Term Loans, the conversion of such CDOR Rate Loan to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, and/or (C) in the case of an Alternate Currency Loan (including a Canadian Term Loan), the conversion of such Alternate Currency Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.16, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus, in the case of Euro Rate Loans, the applicable Euro Rate for such Interest Period, and in the case of CDOR Rate Loans, the applicable CDOR Rate for such Interest Period. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Euro Denominated Swingline Loan made to it from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity

thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus the Overnight Euro Rate in effect from time to time during the period such Euro Denominated Swingline Loan is outstanding.

(c) Default Rate. Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum (i) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other overdue amounts owing with respect to, Alternate Currency Loans (other than Canadian Loans) under a given Tranche, equal to 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to such Tranche of Alternate Currency Loans from time to time, (ii) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest on, Dollar Loans, equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans maintained pursuant to the respective Tranche from time to time and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Dollar Loans, (iii) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest on, Canadian Loans, equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans from time to time and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Canadian Loans, as the case may be, (iv) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other amounts owing with respect to, Euro Denominated Swingline Loans, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus the Overnight Euro Rate as in effect from time to time, and (v) in the case of all other overdue amounts payable under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document, equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Payment. Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan and Canadian Prime Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Loans of the applicable Tranche (which, in the case of Revolving Loans and Canadian Revolving Loans, is accompanied by a termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Total Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be), and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, (ii) in respect of each Euro Rate Loan (other than a Euro Denominated Swingline Loan) and each CDOR Rate Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (iii) in respect of each Euro Denominated Swingline Loan, on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) Interest Determination Date. Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the interest rate for the Euro Rate Loans for which such determination is being made and shall promptly notify the respective Borrower and the respective Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

Section 2.09 Interest Periods. At the time the respective Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, a Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans (other than a Euro Denominated Swingline Loan) or CDOR Rate Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 1:00 P.M. (Local Time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans (in the case of subsequent Interest Periods), such Borrower shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall (x) in the case of Dollar Loans, at the

option of such Borrower, be a one, two, three, six or, to the extent available to all Lenders with obligations in respect of the respective Tranche of Loans, twelve-month period or a period of less than one month, (y) in the case of Alternate Currency Loans (other than Canadian Loans and Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) under a given Tranche, at the option of such Borrower, be a one, two, three, six or, to the extent available to all Lenders with obligations in respect of the respective Tranche of Loans, twelve-month period or such other period of less than one month to the extent approved by the Administrative Agent and otherwise available to all Lenders with obligations in respect of such Tranche, and (z) in the case of Canadian Loans, at the option of the respective Canadian Borrower, be a one, two, three, six or, to the extent approved by the Administrative Agent and otherwise available to all Lenders with obligations in respect of the respective Tranche of Loans, twelve-month period, provided that (in each case):

(i) all Euro Rate Loans and CDOR Rate Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan (including (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the date of any conversion thereto from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of CDOR Rate Loans, the date of any conversion thereto from a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period relating to a Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan may be selected at any time when a Specified Default or an Event of Default is then in existence;

(vi) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period, other than a one month or less period, for any other Alternate Currency Loan may be selected at any time when a Specified Default or an Event of Default is then in existence;

(vii) except for Alternate Currency Incremental Term Loans (other than Alternate Currency Incremental Term Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Term Loans shall be selected which extends beyond any date upon which a mandatory repayment of such Tranche of Term Loans will be required to be made under Section 5.02(b), 5.02(c), 5.02(d) or 5.02(e), as the case may be, if the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required repayment; and

(viii) except for Alternate Currency Incremental Term Loans (other than Alternate Currency Incremental Term Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans.

If, by 1:00 P.M. (Local Time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans (other than Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) or CDOR Rate Loans, the relevant Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans as provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, (y) in the case of CDOR Rate Loans, to convert such CDOR Rate Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and (z) in the case of other Alternate Currency Loans, to select a one month Interest Period for such Alternate Currency Loans, with such new Interest Period to be effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

Section 2.10 Changed Circumstances; Increased Costs.

(a) Circumstances Affecting Euro Rate and CDOR Rate Availability. In connection with any request for a Euro Rate Loan or a CDOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternate Currency) are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market or in the Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances market, as applicable, for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternate Currency, as applicable) or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Euro Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Borrowers. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers in writing that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, as applicable, and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by any Borrower with respect to Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, as applicable, which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower, and the Borrowers shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable, together with accrued interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan; or (B) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Euro Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan (without giving effect to clause (iii) of the Base Rate definition) or such CDOR Rate Loan to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan (without giving effect to clause (b) of the Canadian Prime Rate definition), as applicable, as of the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Circumstances Affecting Alternate Currencies. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) at any time that any Alternate Currency is not available in sufficient amounts, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies in writing the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders that such

circumstances no longer exist, the Alternate Currency Loans denominated in the affected Currency (other than any such Alternate Currency Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available and any Notice of Borrowing given by the respective Borrower with respect to such Alternate Currency Loans which have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the respective Borrower.

(c) Laws Affecting Euro Rate and CDOR Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for compliance by any of the Lenders in good faith with any governmental requests (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Borrowers and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies in writing the Borrowers that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, as applicable, and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to a Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable or continue any Loan as a Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may select only Base Rate Loans (without giving effect to clause (iii) of the Base Rate definition) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (without giving effect to clause (b) of the Canadian Prime Rate definition), as applicable, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by any Borrower with respect to Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, as applicable, which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable, to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan (without giving effect to clause (iii) of the Base Rate definition) or Canadian Prime Rate Loan (without giving effect to clause (b) of the Canadian Prime Rate definition), as applicable, for the remainder of such Interest Period; provided, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this clause (c) . In the event that Alternate Currency Loans are so affected, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined (I) in the case of Alternate Currency Loans denominated in a Primary Alternate Currency, on the basis provided in the proviso of clause (ii) of the definition of Euro Rate, and (II) in the case of Alternate Currency Incremental Term Loans denominated in an Other Alternate Currency, by the Administrative Agent as the all-in-cost of funds for the Administrative Agent to fund the respective Alternate Currency Incremental Term Loan denominated in such Other Alternate Currency.

(d) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law having general applicability to all comparably situated Lenders within the jurisdiction in which such Lender operates shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Euro Rate) or any Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Euro Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender under Section f), such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(g) (to the extent applicable), pay to any such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.10(f), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(e) Capital Requirements. Without duplication of the other costs referred to in this Section 2.10, if any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender under Section 2.10(f), the Borrowers shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(g) (to the extent applicable), pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.10(f), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(f) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender, or an Issuing Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section, in reasonable detail, showing the basis for the calculation thereof and delivered by such Lender in good faith to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(g) (to the extent applicable), pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(g) Limitations on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.10(d), 2.10(e), 2.11 or 3.06, unless a Lender gives notice to Silgan that Silgan or another Borrower is obligated to pay an amount under any such Section within 135 days after the later of (x) the date such Lender incurs the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (y) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrowers pursuant to said Section 2.10(d), 2.10(e), 2.11 or 3.06, as the case may be, to the extent the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 135 days prior to such Lender giving notice to Silgan that Silgan or another Borrower

is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Section 2.10(d), 2.10(e), 2.11 or 3.06, as the case may be; provided however, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claims have a retroactive effect, such 135 day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. This Section 2.10(g) shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Section 2.10(d), 2.10(e), 2.11 or 3.06. Subject to the foregoing, failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(d), 2.10(e), 2.11 or 3.06 for a previous claim shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation for a future claim.

(h) Alternate Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.10(a) above, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(i) or (a)(ii) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (with the consent of Silgan and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Credit Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 2.10(a)(i), (a)(ii), (h)(i), (h)(ii) or (h)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent) notifies Silgan that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and Silgan, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and Silgan, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.10(h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, Section 12.12), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects). To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent and Silgan in connection with this clause (h), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

Section 2.11 Compensation. The Borrowers hereby, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(g) (to the extent applicable), agree to compensate each of the Lenders against any loss or expense (including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain a Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable, or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan

(a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrowers to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable, (b) due to any failure of the Borrowers to borrow (other than as a result of a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent), continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Euro Rate Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable, on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (d) due to any other failure by the Borrowers to repay Euro Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (e) as a result of an election made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Commitment of the Euro Rate Loans in the London interbank market or CDOR Rate Loans in the Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances market, as applicable, and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

Section 2.12 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10(d) or (e), or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.04 or if any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.10(c), then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10(d) or (e) or Section 5.04, as the case may be, in the future or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 2.10(c), as applicable, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be economically, legally or administratively disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.13 Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or (b) if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.04, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 2.12, or (c) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) if any Revolving Lender is unable to obtain the necessary governmental approvals and/or licenses required to be obtained by such Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 6.04(b)(i)(B), or (e) subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of Section 12.12(b), if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 5.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the assignee Lender shall have executed and delivered an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.04;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents

(including any amounts under Section 2.11) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

(i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment and executed and delivered to Silgan, the respective Foreign Incremental Term Loan Borrower (if applicable) and the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Term Loans;

(ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender;

(v) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 after the Effective Date, when combined with the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to Section 2.15 and the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 9.04(xix) (excluding Incremental Term Loans incurred under the proviso in Section 9.04(xix)(A)), shall not exceed the sum of (I) $1,250,000,000 plus (II) the aggregate principal amount of any voluntary prepayments of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness (except, in each case, to the extent such prepayment was financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness) plus (III) the aggregate amount of any reductions to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment made pursuant to Section 4.02 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof as determined at the time that such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are obtained) (it being understood and agreed, however, to the extent that any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are obtained but later expire, terminate or are voluntarily reduced in each case without being utilized, the amount of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments so expired, terminated or voluntarily reduced may again be available to be obtained under this Section 2.14 within the limits set forth herein); provided that an Incremental Term Loan Borrower may incur additional Incremental Term Loans in an amount that would not cause the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio to exceed 2.50:1.00 (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan ~~and to~~, any Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness, any Permitted Acquisition or, and any permanent repayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith, but without netting the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness as unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents in calculating the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio), which such additional Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this proviso shall not reduce the $1,250,000,000 limit set forth above;

(vi) the Applicable Margin, the up-front fees and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other fees, payable in respect of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be separately agreed to by Silgan, the respective Foreign Incremental Term Loan Borrower (if applicable) and each Incremental Term Loan Lender (and with all such fees to be disclosed by Silgan to the Administrative Agent);

(vii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (A) an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and (B) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the US A Term Loans and Canadian A Term Loans (determined on a weighted average basis for all such Term Loans);

(viii) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans shall be used only for the purposes permitted by Section 7.10;

(ix) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans) unless the requirements of Section 2.14(c) are satisfied);

(x) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) (including, without limitation, Incremental Term Loans incurred by a Foreign Incremental Term Loan Borrower) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other

(xi) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) incurred by a Foreign Incremental Term Loan Borrower also shall be secured and guaranteed to the extent required by Section 6.04(b); and

(xii) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 2.01(d) and such Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.

(b) Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement. At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, Silgan, the respective Foreign Incremental Term Loan Borrower (if applicable), each other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to Silgan, the respective Foreign Incremental Term Loan Borrower (if applicable) and the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, appropriately completed (with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (i) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid, (ii) all Incremental Commitment Effectiveness Requirements have been satisfied, (iii) all conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied and (iv) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement and, at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of such Incremental Term Loan Lenders.

(c) Incremental Term Loan Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.14, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement (with a designation which may be made in letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.), numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or a combination thereof (i.e., X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, etc.), provided that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may specify therein that the respective Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Tranche of Term Loans so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Borrower, shall be denominated in the same Currency, shall have the same Maturity Date and shall have the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added;

(ii) the new Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Term Loan Scheduled Repayment dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of each Term Loan Scheduled Repayment

applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining Term Loan Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche proportionately; and

(iii) on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.09, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the respective Tranche, and so that the existing Lenders with respect to such Tranche continue to have the same participation (by amount) in each Borrowing as they had before the making of the new Term Loans of such Tranche.

To the extent the provisions of preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, as the case may be, of such Tranche, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, as the case may be, of such Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). In connection therewith, the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower may agree, in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, to compensate the Lenders making the new Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche for funding Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans during an existing Interest Period on such basis as may be agreed by such Incremental Term Loan Borrower and the respective Lender or Lenders.

Section 2.15 Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments.

(a) Generally. So long as the Incremental Loan Commitment Request Requirements are satisfied at the time of the delivery of the request referred to below, Silgan shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.15, but without requiring the consent of any of the Agents (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.15) or the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date and prior to the Incremental Commitment Termination Date that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Revolving Lenders) provide Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, make Revolving Loans and participate in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans pursuant thereto; provided that:

(i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, Silgan and the Revolving Borrowers an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.15, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans in excess of its Revolving Loan Commitment (if any) or participate in any Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in excess of its RL Percentage, in each case, as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.15;

(ii) any Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Transferee who will become a Revolving Lender) may so provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment

without the consent of any Agent or any other Lender; provided that any Person that is not a Revolving Lender prior to the effectiveness of its Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.15;

(iii) the aggregate amount of each request (and provision therefor) for Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to a given Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including Persons who are Eligible Transferees and will become Revolving Lenders) of at least $50,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent);

(iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.15 after the Effective Date shall not exceed the lesser of (A) $1,250,000,000 minus the amount of any Incremental Term Loans incurred under Section 2.14 (excluding Incremental Term Loans incurred under the proviso in Section 2.14(a)(v)) minus the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness incurred under Section 9.04(xix) (excluding Incremental Term Loans incurred under the proviso in Section 9.04(xix)(A)) plus the aggregate principal amount of any voluntary prepayments of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness (except, in each case, to the extent such prepayment was financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness) and (B) the sum of (1) $625,000,000 plus (2) the aggregate amount of any reductions to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment made pursuant to Section 4.02 (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of any Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments provided in an Alternate Currency);

(v) all Loans incurred pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) (including, without limitation, such Revolving Loans incurred by a Foreign Revolving Borrower) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the US Collateral, and guaranteed under the US Borrowers/Subsidiaries Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Revolving Loans;

(vi) all Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) incurred by a Foreign Revolving Borrower also shall be secured and guaranteed to the extent required by Section 6.04(b); and

(vii) each Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Transferee who will become a Revolving Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, participate in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.01(h) and 3.04, respectively, and make Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.01(e) and such Revolving Loans shall constitute Revolving Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.

(b) Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement. At the time of the provision of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, Silgan, each Revolving Borrower, each other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Revolving Lender”) shall execute and deliver to Silgan, each Revolving Borrower and the Administrative

Agent an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement, appropriately completed (with the effectiveness of the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (i) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid, (ii) all Incremental Commitment Effectiveness Requirements have been satisfied, (iii) all conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 shall have been satisfied and (iv) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement and, at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments of such Incremental Revolving Lenders.

(c) Revolving Commitment Increase. It is understood and agreed that the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Revolving Lender or Incremental Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute part of, and be added to, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and each Incremental Revolving Lender shall constitute a Revolving Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and each other applicable Credit Document.

(d) Pro Rata Participation. At the time of any provision of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, each Revolving Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain of the Revolving Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from certain other Revolving Lenders (including the Incremental Revolving Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.15) and with the Revolving Borrowers being obligated to pay to the respective Revolving Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.11 in connection with any such repayment and/or Borrowing.

Section 2.16 Special Sharing and Conversion Provisions Applicable to Lenders Upon the Occurrence of a Sharing Event.

(a) On the date of the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action) (i) all then outstanding Alternate Currency Term Loans of a given Tranche shall be converted into Alternate Currency Term Loans of such Tranche which are maintained in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the respective Alternate Currency Term Loans on the date such Sharing Event first occurred), which Alternate Currency Term Loans (A) shall continue to be owed by the respective Borrowers, (B) shall at all times thereafter be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (C) shall be immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred, and (ii) all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such Alternate Currency Term Loans shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts). The occurrence of any conversion of Alternate Currency Term Loans as provided above in this Section 2.16(a) shall be deemed to constitute, for purposes of Section 2.11, a prepayment of the respective Alternate Currency Term Loans before the last day of any Interest Period relating thereto.

(b) On the date of the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action) (i) all then outstanding Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans and Primary Alternate Currency Unpaid Drawings shall be converted into Revolving Loans which are maintained in Dollars and Dollar Unpaid Drawings (in each case, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the

aggregate principal amount of the respective Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans and the aggregate amount of such Primary Alternate Currency Unpaid Drawings, as the case may be, on the date such Sharing Event first occurred), which Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans and Primary Alternate Currency Unpaid Drawings (A) shall continue to be owed by the respective Revolving Borrowers, (B) shall, in the case of such Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, at all times thereafter be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (C) shall be immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred, (ii) all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and other amounts owing with respect to such Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, Primary Alternate Currency Unpaid Drawings and Primary Alternate Currency Letters of Credit shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such principal, accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and other amounts), (iii) all then outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans shall be converted into Canadian Revolving Loans which are maintained in Dollars as Base Rate Loans (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount thereof, on the date such Sharing Event first occurred), which Canadian Revolving Loans (A) shall continue to be owed by the respective Canadian Revolving Borrowers, (B) shall at all times thereafter be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (C) shall be immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred and (iv) all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and other amounts owing with respect to such Canadian Revolving Loans shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such principal, accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and other amounts). The occurrence of any conversion of Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans as provided above in this Section 2.16(b) shall be deemed to constitute, for purposes of Section 2.11, a prepayment of the respective Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans before the last day of any Interest Period or maturity relating thereto.

(c) On the date of the occurrence of any Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action) all then outstanding Euro Denominated Swingline Loans shall be converted into Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans.

(d) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, and immediately after giving effect to any automatic conversion pursuant to Sections 2.16(a) and/or (b), the Lenders shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have exchanged interests in the respective Tranches of Loans (including, in the case of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, interests in each outstanding Letter of Credit and Unpaid Drawing) such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in each Tranche in which it participated as of such date, such Lender shall hold an interest in all Tranches (including, in the case of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, an interest in each outstanding Letter of Credit, each Unpaid Drawing and each LC Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 2.16(i)), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s Exchange Percentage thereof. The foregoing exchanges shall be accomplished through the purchases and sales of participations in the relevant Tranches and each Lender hereby agrees to enter into customary participation agreements approved by the Administrative Agent to accomplish same. All purchases and sales of participating interests pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be made in Dollars. Upon any such occurrence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and shall specify the net amount of Dollars (if any) required from each such Lender to effect the purchases and sales by the various Lenders of participating interests in the amounts required above (together with accrued interest with respect to the period for the most recent interest payment date through the date of the Sharing Event plus any additional amounts payable by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.04 in respect of such accrued but unpaid interest); it being understood and agreed, however, in the event that a Sharing Event shall have occurred, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, automatically and without request, such participating interests (and, as a result thereof, shall be entitled to receive from, or shall owe to, the other Lenders the respective amounts owing as a result of the purchases and sales of participations contemplated herein). Promptly upon receipt of such request, each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (in immediately

available funds in Dollars) the net amounts (if any) as specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver the amounts so received to the various Lenders in such amounts as are needed to effect the purchases and sales of participations as provided above. Promptly following receipt thereof, each Lender which has sold participations in any of its Tranches as provided above (through the Administrative Agent) will deliver to each Lender (through the Administrative Agent) which has so purchased a participating interest in such Tranches a participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. It is understood that the amount of funds delivered by each Lender shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of participations by the various Lenders as required above.

(e) Upon, and after, the occurrence of a Sharing Event (i) no further Credit Events shall be made or occur, (ii) all amounts from time to time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on account of, Alternate Currency Loans and Primary Alternate Currency Unpaid Drawings (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such Sharing Event) shall be payable in Dollars as if each such Alternate Currency Loans or Primary Alternate Currency Letter of Credit pursuant to which such Primary Alternate Currency Unpaid Drawings relates, in each case, had originally been denominated in Dollars and shall be distributed by the relevant Lenders to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders which made such Loans or are participating therein, (iii) all of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of all of the Incremental Term Loan Lenders that have provided such Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be automatically terminated, (iv) all Revolving Loan Commitments (including Incremental Revolving Commitments) of all Revolving Lenders shall be automatically terminated, and (v) Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments of all Canadian Revolving Lenders shall be automatically terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the failure of any Lender to purchase its participating interest as required above in any extensions of credit upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interests in a timely manner, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other Lender on any date.

(f) If any amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(d) is not paid to the Administrative Agent on the date upon which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the amount of its participations required to be purchased pursuant to said Section 2.16(d), such Lender shall, in addition to such aforementioned amount, also pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount so required to be paid by such Lender for the purchase of its participations, (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date of request for payment to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent and (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts payable under this Section 2.16 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders; provided that, if the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such other Lender the amounts owing to such other Lenders, then the amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(g) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Lenders have received from any other Lenders purchases of participations pursuant to this Section 2.16, the various Lenders receive any payment on account thereof, such Lenders will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the various Lenders participating therein, such Lenders’ participating interests in such amounts (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such participations were outstanding) in like funds as received; provided, however, in the event that any such payment

received by any Lenders is required to be returned, the Lenders who received previous distributions in respect of their participating interests therein will return to the respective Lenders any portion thereof previously so distributed to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the respective Lenders.

(h) Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any other Lender, any Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(i) In the event that upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or there shall exist any Unpaid Drawing with respect to any Letter of Credit theretofore issued, each Revolving Lender shall on the date of such occurrence, before giving effect to the purchases and sales of participations on such date pursuant to Section 2.16(d), promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds in Dollars, an amount equal to such Lender’s RL Percentage of such undrawn face amount or such Unpaid Drawing (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts expressed in Alternate Currencies on the date such Sharing Event first occurred), as applicable, together with interest thereon from the date of the Sharing Event to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account or accounts for each Lender (each, an “LC Reserve Account”) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Exchange Percentage of the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each such LC Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each LC Reserve Account shall be held in such LC Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in clause (j), (k) or (l) below in this Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the LC Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s Exchange Percentage. The amounts paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (i) shall be held as a reserve against the Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not constitute Loans to any Borrower and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it being agreed that the Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings or payments are made thereunder, as provided in Section 3.05.

(j) In the event that after the occurrence of a Sharing Event any drawing or payment shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the respective Issuing Lender, withdraw from the LC Reserve Account of each of the Lenders (in accordance with each Lender’s Exchange Percentage) any amounts, up to the aggregate amount of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts expressed in an Alternate Currency) and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to such Issuing Lender in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under Section 3.04(c) (but not of the applicable Borrower under Section 3.05(a)). In the event that any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.16(i), the respective Issuing Lender shall, in the event of a drawing or payment thereunder, have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its

obligations under Section 3.04(c), but shall have no claim against any other Lender, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 2.16(d). Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its Exchange Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(k) In the event that after the occurrence of a Sharing Event any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the LC Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

(l) Pending the withdrawal of any amounts from its LC Reserve Account as contemplated above in this Section 2.16, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Cash Equivalents.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above, (i) each Lender which has purchased such participations shall be entitled to receive from the respective Borrowers any increased costs and indemnities (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 3.06 and 5.04) directly from the respective Borrowers, to the same extent as if it were the direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein, which increased costs shall be calculated without regard to Section 2.13, Section 12.04(c) or the last paragraph of Section 12.04(b), and (ii) each Lender which has sold such participations shall be entitled to receive from the respective Borrowers indemnification from and against any and all Indemnified Taxes imposed as a result of the sale of the participations pursuant to this Section 2.16. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after giving effect to the requirements of this Section 2.16, increased Taxes may be owing by it pursuant to Section 5.04, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 5.04) by the respective Borrowers, as the case may be, without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 2.16.

(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.16, the provisions of this Section 2.16 only shall apply in the event that any Loan is outstanding to a Foreign Borrower or a Letter of Credit has been issued for the account of a Foreign Revolving Borrower, in each case, at the time that a Sharing Event occurs.

Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 12.12.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.02 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the

payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.19; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.19; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments under the applicable revolving credit facility without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain

Fees.

(a) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Commission for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the US Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit commissions pursuant to Section 4.01 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its RL Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.19.

(c) With respect to any Commitment Commission or letter of credit commission not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (a) or (b)

above, the US Borrowers shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to each applicable Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(d) With respect to any Canadian Commitment Commission or letter of credit commission not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, the Canadian Borrower shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Canadian Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to each applicable Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Commitment percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.03 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the Aggregate RL Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to Section 12.24, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.17(a)(iv), (A) obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations of a Canadian Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall only be reallocated among other Canadian Lenders and (B) obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Loans of a US Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall only be reallocated among other US Lenders.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, (A) the US Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, repay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19 and (B) the Canadian Borrower shall, with respect to any Canadian Letter of Credit and without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.19.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the

Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders (plus break funding amounts under Section 2.11 to the extent purchase occurs in the middle of an Interest Period) or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable credit facility (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable affected party, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of such party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined by Silgan and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained herein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date then in effect);

(iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Maturity Date then in effect (other than the Maturity Date specified in any other Extension Offer with respect to any other Tranche of Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.18) and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.02(b), (c), (d) or (e), as the case may be, for periods prior to the respective Maturity Date may not be increased;

(v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;

(vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer;

(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof), Revolving Loan Commitments of the applicable Tranche or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments of the applicable Tranche, as the case may be, in respect of which Lenders with Term Loans, Revolving Loan Commitments of such Tranche or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments of such Tranche, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, Revolving Loan Commitments or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by Silgan pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans, Revolving Loan Commitments or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders with Term Loans, Revolving Loan Commitments or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders with Term Loans, Revolving Loan Commitments or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer;

(viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by Silgan generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

In connection with each Extension Offer, each relevant Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall determine whether it wishes to participate in the respective Extension contemplated by such Extension Offer. Any relevant Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer within the time period contemplated by the applicable Extension Offer shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Offer. The election of any relevant Lender to agree to an Extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.18, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 5.01, 5.02, 12.02 or 12.06 and (ii) no Tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $50,000,000 (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.19 Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to such Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable.

(a) Grant of Security Interest. The Revolving Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans with respect to such Revolving Borrower, to be applied pursuant to subsection (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to such Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.17 in respect of Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) with respect to the Revolving Borrower for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of any Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as

applicable, shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

ARTICLE III

LETTERS OF CREDIT.

Section 3.01 Letters of Credit Generally. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Revolving Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender in its individual capacity issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the 5th day (or, in the case of trade Letters of Credit, the 30th day) prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of such Revolving Borrower, (i) an irrevocable sight standby letter of credit in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender, or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender, in support of such obligations of Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries as may be requested by the respective Revolving Borrower (other than obligations in respect of any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Obligations or capital stock) and subject to ISP98 as set forth in the Letter of Credit application or as determined by the applicable Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York, and (ii) an irrevocable sight trade letter of credit in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender, or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender, in support of commercial transactions of any Revolving Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and subject to the Uniform Customs as set forth in the Letter of Credit application or as determined by the applicable Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York (each letter of credit issued pursuant to this Section 3.01(a), together with each letter of credit described in the immediately succeeding sentence, a “Letter of Credit”). It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that each of the letters of credit described in Schedule II (the “Existing Letters of Credit”), which were issued by Xxxxx Fargo or its affiliates under the Existing Credit Agreement and remain outstanding on the Effective Date, shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Effective Date.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender hereby agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the 5th day (or, in the case of trade Letters of Credit, the 30th day) prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the account of the respective Revolving Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit; provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Lender as of the Effective Date and which such Issuing Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(ii) any regulatory change shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular; or

(iii) such Issuing Lender shall have received notice from the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Obligations (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time, would exceed the lesser of (A) $125,000,000 (provided that no more than €50,000,000 or £50,000,000, as applicable, may have a stated amount in a Primary Alternate Currency) and (B) when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of all Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans) and Swingline Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of all Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by an Issuing Lender the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Obligations (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) owed to an Issuing Lender at such time, would exceed such Issuing Lender’s LC Commitment, (iii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before (A) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, the earlier of (x) one year after the date of issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit may be extended for successive periods up to one year, but not beyond the Business Day immediately preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender) and (y) the Business Day immediately preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (B) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, the earlier of (x) 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (y) the 30th day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (iv) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or in a Primary Alternate Currency.

Section 3.02 Minimum Stated Amount. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be not less than $100,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof) or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

Section 3.03 Letter of Credit Requests. (a) Whenever a Revolving Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, such Revolving Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof. Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C appropriately completed (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the respective Revolving Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.01(c). Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6.01 or 6.03, as the case may be, are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.01(c), then such Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the respective Revolving Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon its issuance of, or its entering into any amendment with respect to, any Letter of Credit, the respective Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such issuance or amendment and deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of the Letter of Credit actually issued or amended, as the case may be.

(c) At any time that there is an Issuing Lender that is not also the financial institution acting as Administrative Agent, then (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (iii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended, and (iv) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender (or, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section, the applicable

Issuing Lender) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, cash collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that is outstanding hereunder. In addition, each Issuing Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its LC Commitment, or any change thereto, promptly upon it becoming an Issuing Lender or making any change to its LC Commitment. No failure on the part of any Issuing Lender to provide such information pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) shall limit the obligations of any Borrower or any Revolving Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the utilization of any Issuing Lender’s LC Commitment (it being understood and agreed that each Issuing Lender shall monitor compliance with its own LC Commitment without any further action by the Administrative Agent).

Section 3.04 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold to each Revolving Lender (each such Revolving Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”), and each such Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage in such Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the respective Revolving Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, in the respective Letter of Credit Fees (but not Fronting Fees) payable with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.15, 2.17 or 12.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the Participants therein other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for an Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Revolving Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Participant or any other Lender unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the respective Revolving Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Issuing Lender, the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars (or to the extent the respective Unpaid Drawing is, in accordance with Section 3.05(a), to be reimbursed by the respective Revolving Borrower in a Primary Alternate Currency, the respective Primary Alternate Currency) and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 11:00 A.M. (Local Time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars (or to the extent the respective Unpaid Drawing is, in accordance with Section 3.05(a), to be reimbursed by the respective Revolving Borrower in a Primary Alternate Currency, the respective Primary Alternate Currency) such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in

same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of amounts owed in a Primary Alternate Currency, the Administrative Agent’s customary rate for interbank advances in the relevant Primary Alternate Currency) for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender such Participant’s RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender such Participant’s RL Percentage of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuing Lender any payments from the respective Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars (or in the respective Alternate Currency in the case of payments to be made in such Currencies pursuant to Section 3.05(a)) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f) The obligations of the respective Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Revolving Borrower, any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between any Revolving Borrower, any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

Section 3.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a) Each Revolving Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, (i) in Dollars for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Dollar Letter of Credit issued by it for such Revolving Borrower’s account (each such amount so paid or disbursed until reimbursed by the respective Revolving Borrower, a “Dollar Unpaid Drawing”), and (ii) in the relevant Primary Alternate Currency for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Primary Alternate Currency Letter of Credit issued by it for such Revolving Borrower’s account; provided that in the case of any such payment or disbursement under any Primary Alternate Currency Letter of Credit which is unpaid on the date of the occurrence of a Sharing Event, or which payments or disbursements are made thereafter, such amounts shall be paid in Dollars using the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the respective payment or disbursement made in the relevant Primary Alternate Currency as such Dollar Equivalent is determined on the first date upon which the respective Sharing Event occurs or, if later, the date upon which the respective payment or disbursement is made (each such amount so paid or disbursed until reimbursed by the respective Revolving Borrower, a “Primary Alternate Currency Unpaid Drawing”). All Unpaid Drawings shall be paid immediately after, and in any event on the date of, such payment or disbursement with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (Local Time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed therefore at a rate per annum which shall be (x) in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit (and other amounts owing in Dollars after the occurrence of a Sharing Event), the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans, and (y) in the case of Primary Alternate Currency Letters of Credit (for periods occurring prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event), the Euro Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Euro Rate Loans; provided, however, in each case, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (Local Time) on the fourth Business Day following notice of such payment or disbursement (although no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 shall exist, in which case interest shall accrue on such amounts as hereinafter provided in this proviso), interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by such Revolving Borrower) at a rate per annum which shall be (x) in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit (and other amounts owing with respect to any Letter of Credit in Dollars after the occurrence of a Sharing Event), the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans plus 2%, and (y) in the case of Primary Alternate Currency Letters of Credit (for periods occurring prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event), the applicable Euro Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Euro Rate Loans plus 2%, in each case, with such interest to be payable on demand.

(b) The obligations of each Revolving Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be

absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Revolving Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in such Lender’s capacity as issuer of the Letter of Credit or as a Participant with respect thereto), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that no Revolving Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 3.06 Increased Costs. If at any time after the Relevant Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in applicable law, rule or regulation, guideline or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by an Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in generally accepted accounting principles, shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by such Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on such Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any respective Letter of Credit, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any such Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder, then, upon demand to the respective Revolving Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), such Revolving Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(g) (to the extent applicable), pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant the additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the respective Revolving Borrower by an Issuing Lender or a Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant as aforesaid, shall be conclusive and binding on such Revolving Borrower, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

Section 3.07 Extended Revolving Loan Commitments. If the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.04) under (and ratably participated in by Revolving Lenders under the applicable Tranche pursuant to) the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to the prior sentence, the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Loan Commitments in any Letter of Credit issued before the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(iii) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (taking the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts to be prepaid in an Alternate Currency) (or $250,000 in the case of Swingline Loans (taking the Dollar Equivalent of any Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans of a given Tranche, the minimum principal amount set forth in the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement for such Tranche), provided that if any partial prepayment of Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Euro Rate Loans (other than Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) or CDOR Rate Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then (A) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and any election of an Interest Period thereafter with respect thereto given by such Borrower shall have no force or effect, (B) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing of CDOR Rate Loans, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans and any election of an Interest Period thereafter with respect thereto given by such Borrower shall have no force or effect, and (C) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing of Alternate Currency Loans under a given Tranche (other than Canadian Loans), the respective Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent in selecting Interest Periods at the end of the then current Interest Period or Interest Periods so as to align such Borrowing with the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable to one or more other Borrowings of such Tranche of Alternate Currency Loans;

(iv) each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be allocated among the different Tranches of Term Loans or applied to a single Tranche of Term Loans in each case as Silgan shall specify in the respective notice of prepayment; provided, however, if either Silgan fails to specify how such prepayment is to be allocated or a Default or an Event of Default exists at the time of the respective prepayment, such prepayment shall be allocated among the Tranches of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (with each Tranche of Term Loans to be allocated its Term Loan Percentage of the amount of such prepayment);

102

(v) each prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be applied to the Term Loan Scheduled Repayments of each such Tranche of Term Loans in direct order of maturity; and

(vi) each prepayment in respect of any Tranche of Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be applied pro rata among the Lenders with outstanding Loans of such Tranche; provided that at the respective Revolving Borrower’s or Canadian Revolving Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), as the case may be, such prepayment shall not, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan or Canadian Revolving Loans of a Defaulting Lender.

A notice of prepayment of all outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), delivered by a Borrower contemporaneously with a notice of termination of the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total Unutilized Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 4.02(a), may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities the proceeds of which will be used to refinance in full this Agreement, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied; provided, however, any such revocation shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.11.

(b) In the event of the refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vii), inclusive, of the first proviso in Section 12.12(a) which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall have the right (subject to the requirements of Section 12.12(b)), upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders) to repay all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and other amounts (including, without limitation, all obligations under Section 2.11), then owing to such Lender (or, at the Borrowers’ discretion, owing to such Lender solely with respect to the Tranche which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) in accordance with said Section 12.12(b) so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01(b), the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Revolving Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments), (B) in the case of the repayment of Incremental Term Loans of any Lender under a given Tranche, the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Lender under such Tranche is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Incremental Term Loan Commitments of such Tranche), (C) in the case of the repayment of Canadian Revolving Loans of any Canadian Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01(b), the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment of such Canadian Revolving Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments) and (D) the consents required by Section 12.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) have been obtained. Each prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Term Loan Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of such Term Loan Scheduled Repayments after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

103

(a) (i) Swingline Loans; Revolving Loans; Cash Collateral. On any day on which the Aggregate RL Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the Revolving Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are then outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount (in the case of payments made with respect to Euro Denominated Swingline Loans and Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, taking the Dollar Equivalent of the amounts paid in the respective Primary Alternate Currency in which payments on such Euro Denominated Swingline Loans and Primary Alternate Currency Revolving Loans are owing) equal to such excess.

The amount to be applied to repay principal of outstanding Term Loans shall be allocated among each of the Tranches of Term Loans on a pro rata basis, with each Tranche of Term Loans to be allocated its Term Loan Percentage of the amount of such prepayment and with the amount allocated to each such Tranche of Term Loans to be applied (1) first, to reduce the next two Term Loan Scheduled Repayments of each

107

such Tranche of Term Loans which is due on December 31 of the year in which such repayment is made and of the next succeeding year (or if no such payment is due on December 31 of such year, to the payment due on December 31 of the immediately succeeding year or of the next succeeding year in which a payment is to be made) and (2) second, to the extent in excess of the amounts set forth in preceding clause (1), to reduce the then remaining Term Loan Scheduled Repayments of each such Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amounts of such Term Loan Scheduled Repayments of each such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto); provided, however, in the case of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Canadian Subsidiaries or all of the equity interests of the Canadian Subsidiaries, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied first to repay in full all outstanding Canadian Term Loans, second, to the extent in excess thereof to repay Canadian Revolving Loans, and third, to the extent in excess thereof, as provided above in this Section 5.02(j) without regard to this proviso. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any prepayment event under Section 5.02(g), (h) or (i), such amount may be applied to prepay Term Loans and prepay or purchase any Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness (at a purchase price no greater than par plus accrued and unpaid interest), to the extent required thereby, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans and such Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness as of the time of the applicable prepayment event under Section 5.02(g), (h) or (i).

(k) Designation. With respect to each repayment of any Tranche of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the respective Borrower may designate the Types of Loans which are to be repaid of such Tranche and, in the case of Euro Rate Loans (other than Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) or CDOR Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans were made, provided that: (i) repayments of Euro Rate Loans (other than Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) and CDOR Rate Loans made pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all such Euro Rate Loans or CDOR Rate Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable) of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Euro Rate Loans (other than Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) or CDOR Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, (y) in the case of CDOR Rate Loans, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and (z) in the case of Alternate Currency Loans of a given Tranche (other than Canadian Loans), the respective Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent in selecting Interest Periods at the end of the then current Interest Period or Interest Periods so as to align such Borrowing with the Interest Periods applicable to one or more other Borrowings of Alternate Currency Loans of such Tranche; and (iii) each repayment of any Tranche of Loans shall be applied pro rata among the Lenders with outstanding Loans of such Tranche. In the absence of a designation by the respective Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(l) Repayment at Maturity; Termination of Total Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment. In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) all then outstanding Loans of a respective Tranche (other than Swingline Loans) shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans, (ii) outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (x) the tenth (10^th) Business Day following the date of the incurrence of such Swingline Loans and (y) the Swingline Expiry Date, (iii) in the event that any Revolving Borrower is sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans incurred by such Revolving Borrower and outstanding at such time shall be repaid in full at the time of such sale and

108

all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Revolving Borrower and outstanding at such time shall be cash collateralized in the Cash Collateral Account in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (iv) in the event that any Incremental Term Loan Borrower is sold pursuant to this Agreement, all Incremental Term Loans incurred by such Incremental Term Loan Borrower and outstanding at such time shall be repaid in full at the time of such sale, and (v) in the event that (A) any Canadian Borrower is sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all Canadian Loans incurred by such Canadian Borrower and outstanding at such time shall be repaid in full at the time of such sale and such Canadian Borrower shall have no rights to borrow or receive other extensions of credit hereunder and (B) all Canadian Revolving Borrowers are sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Total Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment shall be terminated at the time the last Canadian Revolving Borrower is sold pursuant to such sale.

Section 5.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (Local Time) on the date when due. All such payments shall be made in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim, at the applicable Payment Office in (a) Dollars if such payment is made in respect of (i) principal of or interest on Dollar Loans owing by any Borrower or any increased costs or similar obligations owing by any Borrower in respect of Dollar Loans or (ii) except as provided in following clause (b), any other Obligation of any Borrower under this Agreement or under any Note issued by such Borrower (calculated, in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees owing with respect to Primary Alternate Currency Letters of Credit, using the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and (b) in the applicable Alternate Currency if such payment is made in respect of (i) principal of or interest on Alternate Currency Loans or Commitments in respect thereof, (ii) Unpaid Drawings on Primary Alternate Currency Letters of Credit or (iii) any increased costs, indemnities or other amounts owing with respect to Alternate Currency Loans or Commitments in respect thereof; provided that, from and after any Sharing Event, all payments of principal, interest and fees in respect of any outstanding Alternate Currency Loans, and all Unpaid Drawings in respect of Primary Alternate Currency Letters of Credit, in each case, shall be made in Dollars as provided in Section 2.16.

Section 5.04 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 5.04, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified

109

Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to additional sums payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04 relating to the maintenance of a Lender Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.04, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such

110

Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.04(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a US Person:

(A) Any Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form); or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of any payments of interest or any other applicable payments under this Agreement, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), a US Tax

111

Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.04 (including by the payment of additional sums pursuant to this Section 5.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position

112

than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04 relating to the maintenance of a Lender Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (i).

There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or, to the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge after reasonable investigation, threatened which (a) question the validity, term or entitlement of any Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries of or to any material permit, license, approval, order or registration required for the operation of any facility which any Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries currently operates and (b) wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding could have an adverse effect on the financial viability of any of its facilities. To the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge and belief, none of the Borrowers nor any of their Material Subsidiaries has disposed of or otherwise discharged any hazardous waste, toxic substances or similar materials, the disposal of which could give rise to any liability under applicable environmental laws and regulations.

134

Finally, neither Silgan nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the corporate existence of Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any Unrestricted Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding.

Section 8.14 Maintenance of Ratings.

Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Silgan and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Silgan and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

Section 11.04 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender or any other Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

Section 11.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against

160

any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 11.07 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Majority Lenders”, “Required Lenders,” “Supermajority Lenders,” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 11.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

Section 11.09 Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 then exists, Silgan. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Silgan, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that Silgan’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

161

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of Silgan (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Silgan’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Article XI (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.10 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors.

(A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (z) the assignment is made in connection with the primary syndication of the Credit Facility and during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is ninety (90) days following the Effective Date; provided, that each Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and provided, further, that such Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Credit Facility;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) the Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the consents of the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment; provided that (A) only one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds by a Lender and (B) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its

169

Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its RL Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.16, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04 and 12.01 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section (other than a purported assignment to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person) or any Borrower or any of a Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, which shall be null and void.)

(c) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person) or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Lender Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely

170

responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.06 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Lender Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Lender Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 12.12(a)(i) or (vii) that directly and adversely affects such Lender Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Lender Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 5.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.04(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.04(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Lender Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.13 and 12.12(b) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 5.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Lender Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Silgan’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Silgan to effectuate the provisions of Sections 2.13 and 12.12(b) with respect to any Lender Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Lender Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.02 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Lender Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.06 as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Lender Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Lender Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Lender Participant Register (including the identity of any Lender Participant or any information relating to a Lender Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Lender Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Lender Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Lender Participant Register.

Notwithstanding the preceding three paragraphs or the definition of Required Lenders, any Lender Participant that is a Farm Credit Lender that (i) has purchased a participation in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, (ii) has been designated as a voting participant (a “Voting Lender Participant”) in a notice (a “Voting Lender Participant Notice”) sent by the relevant Lender to the Administrative Agent and (iii) receives, prior to becoming a Voting Lender Participant, the consent of the Administrative Agent and Silgan (each such consent to be required only to the extent and under the circumstances it would be required if such Voting Lender Participant were to become a Lender pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 12.04(b)), shall be entitled to vote as if such Voting Lender Participant were a Lender on all matters subject to a vote by the Lenders and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be

171

correspondingly reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Voting Lender Participant Notice shall include, with respect to each Voting Lender Participant, the information that would be included by a prospective Lender in an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Lender designated as a Voting Lender Participant in Schedule X shall be a Voting Lender Participant without delivery of a Voting Lender Participant Notice and without the prior written consent of Silgan and the Administrative Agent. The selling Lender and the Voting Lender Participant shall notify the Administrative Agent and Silgan within three (3) Business Days of any termination, reduction or increase of the amount of such participation. Silgan and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in the Voting Lender Participant Notices and all other notices delivered pursuant hereto. The voting rights of each Voting Lender Participant are solely for the benefit of such Voting Lender Participant and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of such Voting Lender Participant.

(d) Certain Pledges. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes held by it) to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board or to any other central bank with jurisdiction over such Lender without notice to, or the consent of, any Borrower, provided that, no such pledge or assignment of a security interest under this Section 12.04(d) shall release a Lender from any obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee. No such pledge or assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) Prohibited Assignments and Participations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.04, no Lender may assign or sell participations, or otherwise syndicate all or any portion of such Lender’s interests under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to any Person who is (i) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by OFAC and/or on any other similar list maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, Executive Order or regulation or (ii) either (x) included within the term “designated national” as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (y) designated under Sections 1(a), 1(c) or 1(d) of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (published September 25, 2001) or similarly designated under any related enabling legislation or any other similar Executive Orders.

Section 12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender or any holder of a Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Borrower and the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein and in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 12.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of any Obligations of such Borrower hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall

172

distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, the Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all such Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of such Borrower to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 12.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

Section 12.07 Calculations: Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 8.01(a), (b) and (c) shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by Silgan to the Lenders); provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Section 1.02(b)), (i) all computations determining compliance with Section 5.02, Article IX, and the definitions of Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage and Applicable Margin shall utilize accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the financial statements of Silgan and its Subsidiaries as of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018; provided, however, that Silgan may elect, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, to modify such accounting principles and policies, effective from and after the date of such election, to include the accounting standards relating to a Lease Accounting GAAP Change so long as (A) any such election must be made within sixty (60) days of the end of the fiscal quarter in which such accounting standard becomes effective for Silgan under GAAP and (B) any such election, once made, shall be irrevocable as to such accounting standard, (ii) in determining Interest Expense for any period, no effect shall be given (but only to the extent not already otherwise excluded for the calculation of Interest Expense under this Agreement) to non-cash amounts recorded (or required to be recorded) in accord with FAS 133, (iii) all computations determining compliance with Sections 9.07 and 9.08 and the definitions of Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage and Applicable Margin shall be determined on a Pro Forma Basis, and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all such financial statements shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein or in any other Credit Document shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election or requirement under FAS 159, FAS 141R, FAS 157, FAS ASC 825 and FAS ASC 470-20 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting or requiring a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof; provided further that (x) in determining EBITDA for any period, no effect shall be given (but only to the extent not already otherwise excluded from the calculation of EBITDA under this Agreement) (I) to FAS 106, (II) to non-cash amounts recorded (or required to be recorded) in accordance with FAS 133 or (III) to FAS 141R to the extent relating to expenses incurred in connection with business combinations as part of a Permitted Acquisition, and (y) for purposes of calculating the Applicable Commitment Commission

173

Percentage, the Applicable Margin and all financial ratios and financial terms, the financial results of Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall be ignored. If at any time any change in GAAP would materially affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Credit Document and either Silgan or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Silgan shall enter into and diligently pursue negotiations in good faith in order to amend such ratio or requirement to equitably reflect such changes so that the criteria for evaluating Silgan’s financial condition will be the same after such changes as if such changes had not occurred (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein.

(b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or other Fees are payable, provided, however, that (i) all computations of interest on Alternate Currency Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, (ii) all computations of interest on Canadian Prime Rate Loans, (iii) all computations of interest on CDOR Rate Loans and (iv) all computations of interest on Base Rate Loans calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate, in each case shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) of this Section 12.07, for purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence tests set forth in Article IX (excluding Sections 9.07 and 9.08 and the definitions of Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage, Applicable Margin and Consolidated Tangible Assets), any amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a currency other than Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the relevant exchange rates (as shown on the relevant page of Reuters or (x) if Reuters does not provide such exchange rates, as shown on the relevant page of the Wall Street Journal or (y) if the Wall Street Journal does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate Dollar limitation provided for therein.

(d) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) with respect to Canadian Term Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans, whenever any interest, fees or commission to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of any period of time that is other than the number of days in such year (the “Contract Period”), the yearly rate to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days in the Contract Period. The rates of interest under the Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as that term is defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) with respect to the Canadian Loans exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined therein) lawfully permitted under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

Section 12.08 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE. (A) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR

174

EACH BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH BORROWER, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH BORROWER. EACH BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH FOREIGN BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY DESIGNATES, APPOINTS AND EMPOWERS SILGAN (AND SILGAN HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS SUCH APPOINTMENT) AS ITS DESIGNEE, APPOINTEE AND AGENT TO RECEIVE, ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE FOR AND ON ITS BEHALF, AND IN RESPECT OF THE PROPERTY OF EACH SUCH FOREIGN BORROWER, SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES AND DOCUMENTS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. NOTHING HEREIN, HOWEVER, SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(B) EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(C) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 12.09 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same

175

instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by an original manually executed counterpart thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any of the Credit Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Credit Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Credit Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Credit Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

The Administrative Agent will give each Borrower and each Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Section 12.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

176

Section 12.12 Amendment and Waiver; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Amendment and Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (although (i) modifications to, or supplements of, the Annexes to the respective Security Documents may be made in accordance with the provisions of such Security Documents and (ii) additional parties may be added to, and Subsidiaries of Silgan may be released from, the respective Guaranties and the Security Documents in accordance with the provisions thereof, in each case without the consent of the other Credit Parties party thereto or the Required Lenders), provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender except with respect to the following clauses (i) and (iii), but, in the case of such clause (iii), only to the extent that such change, waiver, discharge or termination relates to this parenthetical or following clause (i)) (with Obligations being directly affected thereby in the case of the following clauses (i), (iv) and (vii)):

(ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as authorized in Sections 8.15 or 11.10 or as otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Documents (x) in connection with the termination of all Commitments hereunder and repayment in full of all Obligations owing pursuant hereto and pursuant to the other Credit Documents and (y) with respect to sales or other dispositions of property otherwise permitted under the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents;

(iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans and the respective Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Effective Date);

(v) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(ix) without the consent of each of the Revolving Lenders, amend, modify or waive the definition of Primary Alternate Currency;

178

Lenders (or, at the option of Silgan if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the respective Tranche of Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Non-Consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such Non-Consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment, Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitment) and/or repay each Tranche of outstanding Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent and/or cash collateralize its applicable RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit of Outstandings, in accordance with Sections 4.02(b) and/or 5.01(b); provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that Silgan shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitments or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 12.12(a).

Section 12.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 11.06 and 12.01 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Loans and all Unpaid Drawings hereunder and the termination of the Commitments.

Section 12.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 12.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then no Borrower shall be obligated to pay such increased costs (although each Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

Section 12.15 Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 12.15, each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of Silgan (other than on a confidential basis to its employees, partners, directors, officers, auditors or counsel or to another Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company or to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and the Obligations if such Lender determines in its sole discretion that any such party should have access to such information) any information with respect to Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and which is either (x) financial information or statements or (y) designated by any Borrower to the Lender in writing as confidential, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public, (ii) as may be required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body or self-regulatory authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the NAIC or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors or in connection with any pledge permitted under Section 12.04(d), (iii) as may be required in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) that is already in possession of such Lender on a non-confidential basis, (vi) that is provided to such Lender on a non-confidential basis by a

179

Person who in doing so has not violated a duty of confidentiality owing to any Lender or to Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries, (vii) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (viii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by provisions substantially the same as this Section 12.15, (ix) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Obligations or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees with such Lender, to maintain confidentiality provisions substantially the same as this Section 12.15, (x) to any other party hereto and (xi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its Affiliates (including, in the case of any Lender that is a fund, such Lender’s investment advisor) any information related to Silgan or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Silgan and its Subsidiaries, provided that such affiliates shall be subject to the provision of clause (a) of this Section 12.15 to the same extent as such Lender).

Section 12.16 Register. Each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as such Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.16, to maintain a register (the “Register’) on which it will record the name, address and taxpayer identification number, if any, of each of the Lenders, the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and any stated interest thereon and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each of the Lenders and any stated interest thereon. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect such Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitment and Loan shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 12.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lenders. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.16, provided that no Borrower shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages and liabilities resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 12.17 The Patriot Act; Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended from time to time, the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies Silgan and each other Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act or any other Anti-Money Laundering Laws, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Silgan and the other Credit Parties and other information that will

180

allow such Lender to identify Silgan and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act or such Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

Section 12.18 Judgment Currency. (a) Each Credit Party’s obligation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in Dollars or in the case of an Alternate Currency Loan or Alternate Currency Unpaid Drawing, the applicable Alternate Currency (in any such case, the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the respective Issuing Lender or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Relevant Currency Equivalent thereof or, in the case of a conversion into currencies other than Dollars, Canadian Dollars or a Primary Alternate Currency, at the rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent (or, if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent), determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the respective Borrower or Borrowers covenant and agree to pay such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the Relevant Currency Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 12.18, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Section 12.19 Euro. (a) If at any time that an Alternate Currency Loan denominated in a Currency other than Euros is outstanding, the relevant Alternate Currency is replaced as the lawful currency of the country that issued such Approved Currency (the “Issuing Country”) by the Euro so that all payments are to be made in the Issuing Country in Euros and not in the Alternate Currency previously the lawful currency of such country, then such Alternate Currency Loan shall be automatically converted into an Alternate Currency Loan denominated in Euros in a principal amount equal to the amount of Euros into which the principal amount of such Alternate Currency Loan would be converted pursuant to the EMU Legislation and thereafter no further Alternate Currency Loans will be available in such Alternate Currency, with the basis of accrual of interest, notice requirements and payment offices with respect to such converted Alternate Currency Loan to be that consistent with the convention and practices in the Euro-zone interbank market for Euro denominated loans.

(b) In each case, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, the applicable Borrowers shall from time to time, at the request of any Lender, pay to such Lender the amount of any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, reduction in yield, additional expense, increased cost, reduction in any amount payable, reduction in the effective return of its capital, the decrease or delay in the payment

181

of interest or any other return forgone by such Lender or its affiliates with respect to an Alternate Currency Loan affected by this Section 12.19 as a result of the tax or currency exchange resulting from the introduction, changeover to or operation of the Euro in any applicable nation or eurocurrency market.

Section 12.20 Immunity. To the extent that any Foreign Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the respective Foreign Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to which it is a party to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 12.20 shall be to the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

Section 12.21 Parallel Debt. (a) In respect of ensuring the validity and enforceability of any Security Document governed by the law of The Netherlands, each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to the amounts payable by it in respect of its Corresponding Obligations as they may exist from time to time, which undertaking the Collateral Agent hereby accepts. Each payment undertaking of a Credit Party to the Collateral Agent under this Section 12.21(a) is hereinafter to be referred to as a “Parallel Debt”. Each Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency or currencies of the relevant Corresponding Obligation and will become due and payable as and when the Corresponding Obligation to which it corresponds becomes due and payable.

(b) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that: (i) each Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of the applicable Credit Party to the Collateral Agent which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Corresponding Obligation to which it corresponds; and (ii) each Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive payment of such Parallel Debt from the applicable Credit Party.

(c) To the extent the Collateral Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of a Parallel Debt of a Credit Party, the Collateral Agent shall distribute such amount among the Lenders and the Agents who are creditors of the Corresponding Obligations of that Credit Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as if such amount were received by the Collateral Agent in payment of the Corresponding Obligation to which it corresponds.

(d) Upon irrevocable receipt by a Lender of any amount on a distribution by the Collateral Agent under Section 12.21(c) in respect of a payment on a Parallel Debt, the Corresponding Obligation to which the Parallel Debt corresponds shall be reduced by the same amount.

Section 12.22 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right to setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding of the type described in Section 10.05 or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

182

Section 12.23 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision is held to be so prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Silgan shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision to preserve the original intent thereof in such jurisdiction (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders).

Section 12.24 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of ~~EEA~~Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any ~~EEA~~Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of ~~an EEA~~the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by ~~an EEA~~the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an ~~EEA~~Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such ~~EEA~~Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of ~~any EEA~~the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 12.25 Restricted Lenders. With respect to each Lender that qualifies as a resident party domiciled in Germany (Inländer) within the meaning of section 2 paragraph 15 of the German Foreign Trade and Payments Act (Außenwirtschaftsgesetz) (each a “Restricted Lender”), Sections 7.19, 8.12 and 8.16 shall only apply to the extent that such provision would not result in (a) any violation of, conflict with or liability under EU Regulation (EC) 2271/96 or (b) a violation or conflict with section 7 of the German Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung) or a similar anti-boycott statute. In connection with any amendment, waiver, determination or direction relating to any part of Sections 7.19, 8.12 and 8.16 of which a Restricted Lender does not have the benefit, to the extent that on or prior to the date of such amendment, waiver, determination or direction (and until such time as such Restricted Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent and Silgan in writing otherwise), such Restricted Lender has advised the Administrative Agent and Silgan in writing that it does not have such benefit, the Commitments of that Restricted Lender will be excluded for the purpose of determining whether the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained or whether the determination or direction by the Required Lenders has been made.

Section 12.26 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its

Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrowers are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document (irrespective of whether any Joint Lead Arranger or Lender has advised or is currently advising the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, (iv) the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship, and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) and the Credit Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. The Borrowers hereby agree that neither you nor any of your respective Affiliates will assert any claims against the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency, fiduciary duty or conflicts of interest in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 12.27 Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement. The parties to this Agreement agree that, upon (i) the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement and (ii) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 (unless waived in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation or termination of the Obligations. All “Revolving Loans” made and “Obligations” incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Revolving Loans and Obligations under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness hereof: (a) all references in the “Credit Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Credit Agreement” and the “Credit Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement and the Credit Documents, (b) the Existing Letters of Credit which remain outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Letters of Credit under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement, (c) all obligations constituting “Obligations” with any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (d) the Administrative Agent shall administer such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s credit exposure under the Existing Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s credit exposure and outstanding

Certain lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement will not be party to this Agreement (the “Departing Lenders”). On the Effective Date, the loans and commitments of each Departing Lender will be paid in full and terminated on a non-pro rata basis and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such prepayment and termination.

Section 12.28 Intercreditor Agreements. Each Lender hereunder, by its acceptance of the benefits provided hereunder, authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any intercreditor agreement in connection with Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness on behalf of each Lender. Each Lender hereby agrees that the terms, conditions and provisions contained in the Credit Documents are subject to any such intercreditor agreement and, in the event of a conflict between the terms of any such intercreditor agreement and the Credit Documents, the terms of such intercreditor agreement shall govern and control.

Section 12.29 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 12.29, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
