1.     Agreement to Employ.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment by Employer.

2.     Term; Position and Responsibilities.

(a)      Term of Employment.  Unless Executive’s employment shall sooner terminate pursuant to Section 7, Employer shall employ Executive for a term commencing on August 8, 2006 and ending on December 31, 2007 (the “Initial Term”). Effective upon the expiration of the Initial Term and of each Additional Term (as defined below), Executive’s employment hereunder shall be deemed to be automatically extended, upon the same terms and conditions, for an additional period of one year (each, an “Additional Term”), in each such case, commencing

upon the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Additional Term, as the case may be. The period during which Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement, including any extension thereof in accordance with the preceding sentence, shall be referred to as the “Employment Period”.

(b)      Position and Responsibilities.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Chief Operating Officer of Employer and have such duties and responsibilities as are customarily assigned to individuals serving in such position and such other duties consistent with Executive’s title and position as the Board of Directors of Employer (“Employer’s Board”) specifies from time to time. Executive shall devote all of his skill, knowledge and working time to the conscientious performance of the duties and responsibilities of such position, except for (i) vacation time as set forth in Section 6(c) and absence for sickness or similar disability and (ii) to the extent that it does not interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, (A) such reasonable time as may be devoted to service on boards of directors of other corporations and entities, subject to the provisions of Section 9, and the fulfillment of civic responsibilities and (B) such reasonable time as may be necessary from time to time for personal matters.  If so elected or designated by the respective shareholders thereof, Executive shall serve as a member of the Boards of Directors of GPC, Employer and their respective Affiliates during the Employment Period without additional compensation.

(c)      Promotion.  Not later than January 1, 2007, Executive’s position and responsibilities set forth in Section 2(b) will change to President and Chief Executive Officer. On the day Executive’s position changes, Executive’s base salary set forth in Section 3 will change to $700,000, and Executive’s annual target bonus opportunity set forth in Section 4 will change to 100%.

3.     Base Salary.  As compensation for the services to be performed by Executive during the Employment Period, Employer shall pay Executive a base salary at an annualized rate of $550,000, payable in installments on Employer’s regular payroll dates. After July 1, 2007, Employer’s Board shall review Executive’s base salary and, in its sole discretion, Employer’s Board may increase (but may not decrease) such base salary based upon the performance of Executive, the financial condition of Employer, prevailing industry salary levels and such other factors as Employer’s Board shall consider relevant. Employer’s Board shall conduct a similar review annually during each Additional Term. (The annual base salary payable to Executive under this Section 3, as the same may be increased from time to time and without regard to any reduction therefrom in accordance with the next sentence, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Base Salary”.)  The Base Salary payable under this Section 3 shall be reduced to the extent that Executive elects to defer such Base Salary under the terms of any deferred compensation, savings plan or other voluntary deferral arrangement that may be maintained or established by Employer.

4.     Incentive Compensation Arrangements.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall participate in Employer’s incentive compensation programs for its senior executives existing from time to time, at a level commensurate with his position and duties with Employer and based on such performance targets as may be established from time to time by Employer’s

2

Board or a committee thereof.  For calendar year 2006, Executive’s aggregate annual target bonus opportunity shall be 75% of Base Salary.

5.     Employee Benefits.  During the Employment Period, employee benefits, including life, medical, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, business travel accident, prescription drug and disability insurance, shall be provided to Executive in accordance with the programs of Employer then available to its senior executives, as the same may be amended and in effect from time to time.  Executive shall also be entitled to participate in all of Employer’s profit sharing, pension, retirement, deferred compensation and savings plans, as the same may be amended and in effect from time to time, applicable to senior executives of Employer.  The benefits referred to in this Section 5 shall be provided to Executive on a basis that is commensurate with Executive’s position and duties with Employer hereunder and that is no less favorable than that of similarly situated employees of Employer.

6.     Perquisites and Expenses.

During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to a perquisites allowance in the amount of $20,000 on an annualized basis, to be paid as soon as administratively practical after January 1 of each year.

(b)      Business Travel, Lodging, etc.  Employer shall reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, lodging, meal and other reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with his performance of services hereunder upon submission of evidence, satisfactory to Employer, of the incurrence and purpose of each such expense and otherwise in accordance with Employer’s business travel reimbursement policy applicable to its senior executives as in effect from time to time.

Employer and Executive (or his representative), (ii) be final and binding on the parties hereto and (iii) be based on such competent medical evidence as shall be presented to such independent physician by Executive and/or Employer or by any physician or group of physicians or other competent medical experts employed by Executive and/or Employer to advise such independent physician.

(b)      Termination by Employer for Cause.  Executive may be terminated for cause by Employer for (i) the willful failure of Executive substantially to perform his duties hereunder (other than any such failure due to Executive’s physical or mental illness) or other willful and material breach by Executive of any of his obligations hereunder, after a written demand for substantial performance has been delivered, and a reasonable opportunity to cure has been given, to Executive by Employer’s Board, which demand identifies in reasonable detail the manner in which Employer’s Board believes that Executive has not substantially performed his duties or has breached his obligations, (ii) Executive’s engaging in willful and serious misconduct that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to Employer or any of its Affiliates, (iii) Executive’s conviction of, or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a crime that constitutes a felony, or (iv) Executive’s material violation of the requirements of federal or state securities law, rule or regulation, in cases involving fraud or deceit, or violation of Employer’s insider trading policy. Any item of conduct in the previous sentence shall constitute “Cause.” Executive’s conduct need not result in monetary or financial loss to constitute Cause. Executive shall be permitted to attend a meeting of Employer’s Board within 30 days after delivery to him of a Notice of Termination (as defined below) pursuant to this Section 7(b) to explain why he/she should not be terminated for Cause and, if following any such explanation by Executive, Employer’s Board determines that Employer does not have Cause to terminate Executive’s employment, any such prior Notice of Termination delivered to Executive shall thereupon be withdrawn and of no further force or effect.

(c)      Termination Without Cause. A termination “Without Cause” shall mean a termination of employment by Employer other than pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(b).

(d)      Termination by Executive.  Executive may terminate his employment for any reason.  A termination of employment by Executive for “Good Reason” shall mean a termination by Executive of his employment with Employer within 30 days following the occurrence, without Executive’s consent, of any of the following events: (i) the assignment to Executive of duties that represent a substantial diminution of the duties that he/she is to assume pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, (ii) the failure of Employer to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any Successor (as defined below) to Employer as contemplated by Section 14, (iii) a reduction in the rate of Executive’s Base Salary, (iv) a material breach by Employer of any of its obligations hereunder or (v) except in cases where Employer is promoting Executive, the relocation of Executive’s primary office to a location more than 50 miles from the location of Executive’s primary office on the date hereof. Executive shall not be entitled to terminate employment for Good Reason, in the case of any of clauses (i), (iii), (iv) or (v), should Executive fail within 30 days following the occurrence of any of the events set forth therein to deliver written notice to Employer of his intention to terminate his employment for Good Reason, which notice specifies in reasonable detail the circumstances claimed to give rise to Executive’s right to terminate his

4

employment for Good Reason, and Employer or GPC, as the case may be, shall not have cured such circumstances within a reasonable time to the reasonable satisfaction of Executive.

(e)      Notice of Termination.  Any termination by Employer pursuant to Section 7(a), 7(b) or 7(c), or by Executive pursuant to Section 7(d), shall be communicated by a written Notice of Termination addressed to the other parties to this Agreement.  A ”Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice stating that Executive’s employment with Employer has been or will be terminated.

13.   Injunctive Relief with Respect to Covenants; Forum, Venue and Jurisdiction.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants, obligations and agreements of Executive contained in Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants, obligations or agreements will cause Employer irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law.  Therefore, Executive agrees that Employer shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain Executive from committing any violation of such covenants, obligations or agreements.  These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies Employer may have.  Employer, GPC and Executive hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the superior courts of Cobb County, Georgia and the federal courts of the Northern District of Georgia, in respect of the injunctive remedies set forth in this Section 13 and the interpretation and enforcement of Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 insofar as such interpretation and enforcement relate to any request or application for injunctive relief in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any and all objections and defenses based on forum, venue or personal or subject matter jurisdiction as they may relate to an application for such injunctive relief in a suit or proceeding brought before such a court in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.  All disputes not relating to any request or application for injunctive relief in accordance with this Section 13 shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 17(b).

14.   Assumption of Agreement.  Employer shall require any Successor thereto, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Employer would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  Failure of Employer to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to compensation from Employer in the same amount and on the same terms as Executive would be entitled hereunder if Employer had terminated Executive’s employment Without Cause as described in Section 7, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.

15.   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  All prior correspondence and proposals (including but not limited to summaries of proposed terms) and all prior promises, representations, understandings, arrangements and agreements relating to such subject matter (including but not limited to those made to or with Executive by any other Person and those contained in any prior employment, consulting or similar agreement entered into by Executive

8

and Employer or any predecessor thereto or Affiliate thereof) are merged herein and superseded hereby. This Agreement explicitly supersedes and replaces that certain Third Amended and Restated Graphic Packaging Internation Corporation Executive Employment Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2003, among Graphic Packaging International Corporation, the Affiliated Companies named therein and David W. Scheible.

16.   Indemnification.  Employer hereby agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless Executive to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law from and against any and all liabilities, costs, claims and expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred in defense of litigation (including attorneys’ fees), arising out of the employment of Executive hereunder, except to the extent arising out of or based upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Executive.  Costs and expenses incurred by Executive in defense of such litigation (including attorneys’ fees) shall be paid by Employer in advance of the final disposition of such litigation upon receipt by Employer of (a) a written request for payment, (b) appropriate documentation evidencing the incurrence, amount and nature of the costs and expenses for which payment is being sought, and (c) an undertaking adequate under Delaware law made by or on behalf of Executive to repay the amounts so paid if it shall ultimately be determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by Employer under this Agreement, including but not limited to as a result of such exception.

17.   Miscellaneous.

(b)      Arbitration.  Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement (except in connection with any request or application for injunctive relief in accordance with Section 13) shall be resolved by binding arbitration.  The arbitration shall be held in the city of Atlanta, Georgia and except to the extent inconsistent with this Agreement, shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect at the time of the arbitration, and otherwise in accordance with principles which would be applied by a court of law or equity.  The arbitrator shall be acceptable to both Employer and Executive.  If the parties cannot agree on an acceptable arbitrator, the dispute shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators, one appointed by Employer, one appointed by Executive, and the third appointed by the other two arbitrators.  All expenses of arbitration shall be borne by the party who incurs the expense, or, in the case of joint expenses, by both parties in equal portions, except that, in the event Executive prevails on the principal issues of such dispute or controversy, all such expenses shall be borne by Employer.

9
