ARTICLE ONE

REAFFIRMATION AND ACCESSION

SECTION 1.01. Reaffirmation. The Company hereby expressly and unconditionally reaffirms each and every covenant, agreement and undertaking of such party in the Indenture.

SECTION 1.02. Note Guarantees.

(a) Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, on a joint and several basis, to each Holder of Securities (including each Holder of Securities issued under the Indenture after the date of this Seventh Supplemental Indenture) and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, (i) the full and punctual payment of all monetary obligations of the Company under the Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture. Each Guarantor further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the absence or existence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company (except to the extent such judgment is paid) or any waiver or amendment of the provisions of the Indenture or the Securities to the extent that any such action or any similar action would otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor (except that such waiver or amendment shall be effective in accordance with its terms).

(b) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance and not merely of collection.

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees to waive presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of its Guarantee, and also waives diligence, notice of acceptance of its Guarantee, presentment, demand for payment, notice of protest for nonpayment, the filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company and any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person. The obligations of a Guarantor shall not be affected by any failure or policy on the part of the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under the Indenture or the Securities of any series.

(d) The obligation of a Guarantor to make any payment hereunder may be satisfied by causing the Company or the other Guarantor to make such payment. If any Holder of any Security or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Company or any such Guarantor any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, any applicable Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(e) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in enforcing any of their respective rights under its Guarantee.

---

 

(f) Any term or provision of this Seventh Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of a Guarantor’s Guarantee shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Seventh Supplemental Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 1.03. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and that its Guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 1.04. Termination of Guarantee. Each Guarantee (taken individually) shall be automatically released and shall terminate upon (i) the merger of the respective Guarantor with or into any other Obligor, (ii) the consolidation of the respective Guarantor with another Obligor or (iii) the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the respective Guarantor to another Obligor. At the request of the Company, the Trustee will execute and deliver any documents, instructions or instruments evidencing any such release.

SECTION 1.05. Termination of RKT Guarantee. The RKT Guarantee shall be automatically released and shall terminate (i) if RKT ceases to be or, upon giving effect to any substantially concurrent transaction or transactions, shall cease to be the issuer or guarantor of any Capital Markets Debt (other than, before giving effect to the release contemplated by this Section 1.05, the Securities) or (ii) upon the termination of MWV’s guarantee of WestRock’s obligations under the Bank Credit Facilities. For purposes of this Section 1.05, “Capital Markets Debt” means any debt for borrowed money that (a) is in the form of, or represented by, bonds, notes, debentures or other securities (other than promissory notes or similar evidences of debt under a credit agreement) and (b) has an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $25.0 million. Further, for purposes of this Section 1.05, “Bank Credit Facilities” means: (a) the Credit Agreement, dated July 1, 2015, among WestRock, RockTenn Company of Canada Holdings Corp./Compagnie de Holdings RockTenn du Canada, a Nova Scotia unlimited company (“RockTenn Canada”), as Canadian borrower, the other borrowers from time to time party thereto, the Company and RKT as guarantors and the other guarantors from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“WF”), as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo, National Association, London branch, as multicurrency agent; and (b) any amendments, renewals, refundings, refinancings, extensions, modifications or replacements with respect to any of the foregoing. At the request of the Company, the Trustee will execute and deliver any documents, instructions or instruments evidencing any such release.
