WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend certain provisions of the
Credit Agreement and waive certain Defaults under the Credit Agreement and

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:
1. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting

2000."
2. The definition of Applicable Margin contained in Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) replacing the "and" after the phrase
"(ii) at any time when any Default or Event of Default is in existence, Level
IV" with a comma, (ii) inserting the phrase "during the period on and after the
Twenty First Amendment Effective Date until July 31, 2000, the applicable Level

(iv)" after "(iii)", (iii) replacing the "and" appearing after the phrase "at
any time other than those periods referred to in the clauses (i)" with a comma
and inserting "and (iii)" after the phrase "at any time other than those periods
referred to in the clauses (i), (ii)", so that the definition of Applicable
Margin will now read as follows:
"Applicable Margin shall mean the applicable percentage set forth below
based upon (x) (i) during the period from the Closing Date until the Test Period
ended ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, (▇▇) at any time when any Default or Event

at any time other than those periods referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
above, the Level for such Quarterly Period and (y) the Outstandings hereunder as
a percentage of the Available Borrowing Amount for such Quarterly Period:
Outstandings Do Not Exceed Outstandings Equal or Exceed

ended immediately prior to the relevant Start Date. The Applicable Margin so

Statements shall have been delivered to the Agent on or prior to the relevant
End Date, the Applicable Level shall be Level IV until such Financial Statements
are delivered."

3. The Default under Section 8.4 of the Credit Agreement which arose as
a result of the Borrower exceeding the capital expenditure limitations provided
therein for the year ended December 31, 1999 is hereby waived.
4. The Default under Section 4.1(a) of the Pledge Agreement which arose
as a result of G&G being unable to produce shares of Consumers Stock (as such
term is defined in the Pledge Agreement) above the amount being delivered
pursuant to Section 13 of this Amendment is hereby waived and any future default
under Section 4.1(a) which results from the inability of G&G to produce
additional Consumers Stock due to a drop in the market value of Consumers Stock
is hereby waived, in each case only to the extent that G&G holds no additional
shares of Consumers Stock.
5. Section 2.3(c) is hereby amended by deleting the phrase "or the
forty fifth Business Day after such date for Agent Advances resulting from any
Default under Section 8.4 prior to March 10, 2000" which appears after the
phrase "or until June 15, 2000 for Agent Advances resulting from any Default
under Section 8.4 prior to March 10, 2000"
6. Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i)
deleting the "and" which appears at the end of Section 7.1(i)(iv), (ii)
replacing the period which appears at the end of Section 7.1(j) with "; and" and
(ii) inserting the following provision:
"(k) weekly the Borrower shall provide written progress reports to the
Steering Committee on the status of the O-I Litigation and on the status of the
Southeast Project until such time as the Steering Committee determines that such
reports are no longer necessary."
7. Article 8 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the
following provisions:

payments, whether the payments are contractual obligations, dividends or
otherwise, after the Twenty First Amendment Effective Date to Consumers
Packaging Inc. and/or any third party with respect the SAP computer conversion."
8. Section 8.25 is hereby amended by (i) deleting the word "until"
which appears after the amount "$12,500,000", (ii) inserting the phrase "(except
that for the period on and after the Twenty First Amendment Effective Date until
July 31, 2000, the Available Borrowing Amount less the Outstandings shall not be

effect); provided that, after" after the phrase "The Available Borrowing Amount
less the Outstandings shall not be permitted to be less than $12,500,000", (iii)
deleting "; thereafter" after the amount "$24,000,000", (iv) replacing the word
"until" which appears after the amount "$6,000,000" with the phrase "; provided
further, if in addition" and (v) inserting the phrase "the Available Borrowing

provided that, after the initial funding of the sale and leaseback of the

Borrower has received and notified the Agent of receipt of proceeds in the
amount of $24,000,000, the Available Borrowing Amount less the Outstandings
shall not be permitted to be less than $6,000,000; provided further, if in
addition the Borrower has received a signed commitment for at least an
additional $50,000,000 of financing for the Southeast Project under terms and
conditions, and pursuant to documentation, satisfactory to the Agent, the
Available Borrowing Amount less the Outstandings shall not be permitted to be
less than zero."
9. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Amendment and
Waiver, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (i) the
representations, warranties and agreements contained in Article 6 of the Credit
Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Twenty
First Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 13 of this Amendment and

such specified date) and (ii) there exists no Default or Event of Default on the
Twenty First Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to this Amendment and
Waiver.

any other Credit Document.
