which debt restructuring will permit the repayment of the bonds
over a longer period of time.
Background: On August 6, 1990 the Board of Commissioners approved
in principle the Orange County Industrial Facilities and Pollution
Control Financing Authority's issuance of $5.5 million in
industrial revenue bonds to pay for facilities and equipment for an
expansion of Mebane Packaging Corporation (now MPC Packaging
Corporation) . Under the terms of the Trust Indenture involving the
Authority, Mebane Packaging Corporation and a bank trustee, the
bonds are. to be repaid in full on October 1, 2001. As the result
of a significantly greater and better banking relationship between
MPC Packaging Corporation and First Union National Bank of North
Carolina, the bank securing the bond payments, an agreement has
been reached to permit the payment of the bonds not yet paid over
a longer period of time, with the final payment becoming due on
January 1, 2006.
The Orange County Industrial Facilities and Pollution Control
Financing Authority approved the debt restructuring of its bonds at
a meeting it held on October 10, 1996.
Recommendation: Conduct the TEFRA public hearing and approve the
debt restructuring in principle by approving the resolution
accompanying this abstract.

I. Industrial Revenue Bond Presentation
The group was assembled to hear a presentation by Joe Heldreth, a
representative of Mebane Packaging. A synopsis of his presentation is
attached. Mebane Packaging's three largest contracts are with RTP
companies, Burroughs Wellcome, Glaxo, and Bristol-Meyers. Mebane
Packaging normally -run 3 shifts per day, 5 days per week, but is now
overloaded with contracts and must work 6 or 7 days per week to keep up.
Their first choice for expansion would be to expand in North Carolina
instead of expanding in Mississippi or looking for acquisition of another
carton manufacturer.
The 60,000 sq. ft. addition would add to the existing 170,000 sq. ft. and
would consolidate 30,000 ft. of warehouse currently located in Alamance
County. The work force is approximately split 50/50 between Alamance and
Orange Counties. All property taxes, approximately $50,000 per year, go
to Orange County.
Department of Economic and Community Development guidelines require that
one job be created for each $150,000 of bond approved. The 46 jobs that
Mebane Packaging proposes to create fit well within the $5.5 million
dollar bond they are requesting. Mebane Packaging wage rates are higher
than the average Orange County manufacturing wage rates as shown on page 2
of the attached presentation. A 4 - 5 percent annual increase keeps wages
consistently above the Orange County average. Minimum wage at Mebane
Packaging is $6.76. Many fringe benefits are offered including a
Christmas bonus based on seniority. Mebane Packaging also offers an in-
house GED program to encourage employees to educate themselves.
In. August, 19$9; Mebane Packaging went through a recapitalization process.
As a part of that process, a thorough environmental audit was done by
Westinghouse Geotechnical Services. Their analysis gave Mebane Packaging
a clean bill of .health. Any scrap paper produced in the process is
recycled.
Ink, printing supplies, professional services, and glues are purchased in
North Carolina. Paper is produced and purchased in Mississippi where
their other plant is located.
f
The proposed 60,000 sq. ft: expansion is estimated to produce an
additional $20,000 in annual property taxes for Orange County. Mebane
Packaging is active in community affairs and boosts education by providing
$10,000 per year in grants and matching employee contributions to
4 ,
educational institutions.
Both First Union and NCNB have been contacted concerning underwriting the
$5.5 million in bonds. Both have shown a willingness to issue a letter of
credit. Legal counsel for Mebane Packaging is Brooks, Pearson, et.al. in
Greensboro.
II. Questions by IRB Committee Members
Of the 253 total current employees, approximately 75 are on salary and the
remainder paid hourly wages. Administrative people encompass
approximately 40 of those 75 and include Customer Service, Corporate
Personnel, and Graphics Staff. The expansion would be completed on land
currently owned by Mebane Packaging. Adequate buffers would be left on
all sides of the site. Additional water would be needed mainly for
domestic uses. Mebane Packaging currently pre-treats waste water from its
CUSTOMFLUTE process. Specialized technology dictate the need for in-house
training of new employees by exerienced pressmen.
35% - 40% of the work force is black, 60% - 65% is white. Women are
employed in the process primarily in administrative, finishing, and
Packaging work. The printing, cutting, and stripping departments are
staffed by men because they require more weight lifting. Mebane Packaging
is located on Oakwood Street Extension in the Mebane Industrial Park.
Fifteen of the 46 new employees will be employed to work as pressmen at a
minimum wage of $10.00 per hour. Mebane Packaging encourages its
employees by promoting from within. The low unemployment rate in Orange
County has not inhibited Mebane Packaging from getting new employees.
III. County Attorney Comments
Geoff Gledhill reported that the first step towards approval of the
industrial revenue bonds was to get approval of the project in principle
by the Board of County Commissioners after an Inducement Agreement was
considered and approved by the Industrial Facilities and Pollution Control
Financing Authority. Bond Counsel is normally selected by the Industrial
Revenue Bonding Authority, but Mebane Packaging's counsel may be utilized
in this case. The Inducement Agreement passed by the IRB Authority would
allow Mebane Packaging to start spending.
IV. Motion of Support in Principle
John Gastineau made a motion that the project is a good candidate for
approval for an Industrial Revenue Bond. This motion was seconded by
Sandy McClamroch and passed unanimously.

Mebane Packaging is considering an expansion of its North Carolina manufactur-
ing facility in order to respond to increased volume capacity considerations.
Mebane has only two feasible alternatives in order to respond to market
pressures in a timely fashion. The alternatives are 1) expansion-of its North
Carolina facility or 2) acquisition of another folding. carton company in a
different geographical location.
The expansion of the.North Carolina facility would be comprised of additional
square footage for the manufacturing facility and additional production
machinery. The following list describes the major components of the project
and gives an approximation of their costs.
Additional Building $ 900,000 (60,000 sq. feet @ $15/sq. foot)
Printing Press 3,600,000
Gluer 250,000
Shredder & Balers 400,000
Intangibles 200,000
Closing Costs 100,000
Total Requested $ 5,450,000
The next item to be addressed is that of the employment profile. Mebane
Packaging currently has 253 full-time North Carolina employees. Our projec-
tious indicate that approximately forty-six jobs would be added as a result of
the expansion. The majority of these jobs would be manufacturing positions,
with only five or six administrative positions being created. The chart below
illustrates how Mebane .Packaging's wages compare with the latest Orange County
figures as obtained from Harold Wall, industrial developer with the North
Carolina Department of Commerce in Raleigh.

Mebane also offers its employees a comprehensive medical and dental insurance
plan at nominal cost, and also provides a profit sharing plan and a company
match on 401-K savings. Mebane provides an in-house GED program for its
employees who wish to obtain this certificate. Mebane realizes that a
company's primary strength is its. human resources and is committed to
attracting and retaining a skilled and educated work force.
Environmental concerns are becoming one of the major issues facing corporate
America today. Mebane Packaging Corporation recently concluded a thorough
environmental audit that was required as part of our recapitalization process.
The audit was performed by Westinghouse Geotechnical Services in Research
Triangle Park and unequivocally gave Mebane Packaging a clean bill of health.
Our manufacturing process does not create any toxic chemicals or emissions.
The majority of the scrap paper generated in the production process is sold to
various paper mills and is recycled. All necessary water permits have been
obtained from the city of Mebane.
Mebane Packaging's expansion will benefit other North Carolina companies. Raw
materials are purchased from out-of-state companies but virtually all of the
secondary materials used in the production process and most of the support
services required are purchased from North Carolina companies.
It should also be pointed out that most of Mebane's largest customers are
located in North Carolina: The pharmaceutical industry is rapidly becoming a
major force in the state, and Mebane Packaging Corporation is proud of its
affiliation with these progressive companies. This interaction with other
local companies helps create a positive synergistic effect on the North
Carolina economy and inevitably increases tax revenue for the state. Orange
County presently collects approximately $50,000 annually from Mebane Packaging
through property taxes. The proposed addition at Mebane would generate an
additional $20,000 for Orange County in property taxes. Mebane Packaging is
also a' supporter of local charitable organizations and makes a special attempt
to offer financial support to local educational institutions.
Mebane Packaging is- confident that if Orange County approves this project that
the corporation can obtain financing satisfactory to all parties in a timely
fashion. Two of the largest banks in the state have already expressed an
interest in issuing the letter of credit to stand behind the bonds should the
project be approved. Mebane also has experienced legal counsel available to
assist in bringing the bond issue to its completion. The corporation is
looking forward to working with all of the appropriate organizations in the
realization of this mutually beneficial project.

funds necessary for the Acquisition of the Project, and such
funds when so advanced shall be deemed funds advanced on
behalf of the Authority; provided, however, that the
Authority shall not by virtue of such advances or otherwise
through this Memorandum of Agreement acquire any property

net proceeds derived from the sale of the bonds are
sufficient for such purpose, the Authority agrees to repay
from such net proceeds to the Company all funds so advanced
promptly after the sale of the bonds .
(b) The Authority and the Company agree that the
Company shall provide all services incident to the Acquisi-
tion of the Project, including, without limitation,
acquisition of land, the preparation of plans,
specifications and contract documents, the award of
contracts, the inspection and supervision of work performed,
the employment of engineers, architects, builders and other
contractors, and the provision of money to pay the cost
thereof pending reimbursement by the Authority from such
bond proceeds, and the Authority shall have no
responsibility for the provision of any such services .
(c) All commitments of the Authority and of the
Company pursuant to this Memorandum of Agreement are subject
to the condition that .on or before 365 days from the date of
approval of the Project by the Department of Economic and
Community Development pursuant to the Act (or such later
date as shall be mutually satisfactory to the Authority and
the Company) , the Authority and the Company shall have
agreed to mutually acceptable terms for the bonds and the
sale and delivery thereof and mutually acceptable terms and
conditions for the agreements referred to in Section 3(c)
and the proceedings referred to in Sections 2 and 3 hereof .
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the
term of this Memorandum of Agreement shall be deemed to have
been extended for successive 365-day periods following the
expiration of the term set forth in the foregoing paragraph
(c) unless and until either party hereto notifies the other
in writing of its election to terminate this Memorandum of
Agreement not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of
the current 365-day period. 0 If the events set forth in
4

time set forth or any extension thereof, the Company agrees
that it will reimburse the Authority for all reasonable out-
of-pocket expenses, arising from the execution of this
Memorandum of Agreement and .the performance by the Authority
of its obligations hereunder, and this Memorandum of
Agreement shall thereupon terminate .

the Authority, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that
it will indemnify the Authority for all reasonable expenses,
costs and obligations incurred by the Authority under the
provisions of this Memorandum of Agreement to the end that
the Authority will not suffer any out-of-pocket losses as a
