     This Note is one of the duly authorized issue of 9.50% Senior Notes Due 2017 of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 16, 2009 (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meanings assigned to it in such instrument), among the Company, Graphic Packaging Holding Company, Graphic Packaging Corporation, and the other Note Guarantors from time to time parties thereto, as Note Guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, any other obligor upon this Note, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, as in effect from time to time (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. Additional Notes may be issued under the Indenture which will vote as a class with the Notes and otherwise be treated as Notes for purposes of the Indenture.
     All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
     This Note is entitled to the benefits of the certain senior Note Guarantees of the Note Guarantors and may hereafter be entitled to certain other senior Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is made to Article Thirteen of the Indenture and to the Note Guarantees for terms relating to such Note Guarantees, including the release, termination and discharge thereof. Neither the Company nor any Note Guarantor shall be required to make any notation on this Note to reflect any Note Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge.
     The Notes will be redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, and from time to time on and after June 15, 2013 and prior to maturity at the applicable redemption prices set forth below. Such redemption may be made upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address in accordance with the Indenture. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. Any such redemption and notice may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control. The Notes will be so redeemable at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the relevant Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on June 15 of the years set forth below:

     In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to June 15, 2012, the Company at its option may redeem the Notes, in an aggregate principal amount equal to up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes), with funds in an aggregate amount not exceeding the aggregate cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) of 109.500% plus accrued and

unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that an aggregate principal amount of the Notes equal to at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes) must remain outstanding after each such redemption. The Company may make such redemption upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address in accordance with the Indenture (but in no event more than 180 days after the completion of the related Equity Offering). The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent including the completion of the related Equity Offering.
     At any time prior to June 15, 2013, such Notes may also be redeemed or purchased (by the Company or any other Person) in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, the date of redemption or purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Such redemption or purchase may be made upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address in accordance with the Indenture. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. Any such redemption, purchase or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control.
     The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of such repurchase; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase Notes in the event it has exercised its right to redeem all the Notes as described above.
     The Notes will not be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund.
     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
