S.A. de C.V. (the "Bolsa"). The Controlling Shareholders
and G-Modelo shall have the right to cause the Series A

5.9. Dividend Policies.
-----------------
(a) G-Modelo and the Controlling Share-
holders, in their capacity as shareholders, directors or
officers of G-Modelo and as members of the technical
committees of the Control Trust and the Option Trust
agree to take all actions necessary to cause G-Modelo to
adopt and to follow, and all such parties agree to adopt
and to follow, in accordance with Mexican law, the fol-
lowing annual dividend policy on the Series A Shares,
Series B Shares, Series C Shares and Series P-C Shares.
(i) For the period commencing
on the Closing Date and ending at such time as
clause (ii) of this paragraph (a) becomes ap-
plicable, the per share amount of the annual
dividend payable on the outstanding Series A
Shares, Series B Shares and Series C Shares
will be an amount equal to (A) the greater of
(1) 15 percent of G-Modelo's consolidated af-
ter-tax net earnings calculated in accordance
with Mexican GAAP for the most recently com-
pleted calendar year, and (2) 45,109,950 Mexi-
can Pesos divided by (B) the aggregate number
of Series A Shares, Series B Shares and Series
C Shares outstanding on the record date fixed
by the shareholders of G-Modelo for the payment
of such dividend.
(ii) If the Investor purchases
all of the Option Shares pursuant to the Op-
tion, then for the period commencing January 1,
1998, the per share amount of the annual divi-
dend payable on the outstanding Series A
Shares, Series B Shares and Series C Shares
will be an amount equal to (A) the greater of
(1) Consolidated G-Modelo Free Cash Flow (as
hereinafter defined) for the most recently
completed calendar year, and (2) 45,109,950
38
Mexican Pesos, divided by (B) the aggregate
number of Series A Shares, Series B Shares and
Series C Shares outstanding on the record date
fixed by the shareholders of G-Modelo for the
payment of such dividend. For purposes hereof,
"Consolidated G-Modelo Free Cash Flow" shall
equal all of the consolidated after-tax net
earnings of G-Modelo and its subsidiaries cal-
culated in accordance with Mexican GAAP avail-
able to holders of Series A Shares, Series B
Shares and Series C Shares, (A) plus deprecia-
tion and amortization, (B) plus any decrease in
non-cash net working capital, (C) plus other
expenses which do not require a cash outlay,
(D) minus other income which does not provide
cash, (E) minus capital expenditures and other
asset acquisitions, (F) minus any increase in
non-cash net working capital, and (G) minus any
principal repayments of indebtedness, all of
which shall be determined as shown in the exam-
ple contained in Exhibit B hereto.
(iii) For the period commencing
on the Closing Date and ending on the date the
Series P-C Shares are exchanged for Series B
Shares, the per share amount of the annual
dividend payable on the outstanding PC Shares
will be calculated in accordance with the terms
of such Series P-C Shares set forth in the
Amended G-Modelo By-laws.
(b) The Controlling Shareholders in their
capacity as shareholders, directors or officers of Diblo
and as members of the technical committee of the Banamex
Trust agree to take all actions necessary to cause Diblo
to adopt and to follow, and all such parties agree to
adopt and to follow, in accordance with Mexican law, the
following annual dividend policy on the Diblo capital
stock. Commencing on the Closing Date, there shall be
declared (i) an annual dividend on the outstanding Diblo
P-C Shares in an amount sufficient for G-Modelo to ▇▇-
▇▇▇▇▇ and pay the annual dividend provided for in para-
graph (a)(iii) above; provided, however, upon the ex-
-------- -------
change by the Investor of the Series P-C Shares into
Series B Shares, the Diblo P-C Shares will be exchanged
by G-Modelo effective as of the date of such exchange by
the Investor on a share-for-share basis for Diblo Series
39
A Shares and the annual dividend policy set forth in this
clause (i) shall terminate, and (ii) an annual dividend
on the outstanding Diblo Common Shares which shall be
payable to all holders of Diblo Common Shares in an
amount sufficient for G-Modelo to declare and pay the
annual dividend provided for in paragraphs (a)(i) and
(a)(ii) above.
(c) The Controlling Shareholders in their
capacity as shareholders, directors or officers of Diblo
and as members of the technical committee of the Banamex
Trust agree to take all actions necessary to cause the G-
Modelo Corporations to declare annual dividends in an
amount which, in the aggregate, are sufficient to enable
G-Modelo and Diblo to declare and pay the dividends
provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, respective-
ly.
(d) Subject to the applicable require-
ments of Mexican law, the Amended G-Modelo By-laws and
the Amended Diblo By-Laws, each of G-Modelo in the case
of paragraph (a) above, and Diblo in the case of para-
graph (b) above, will declare the annual common dividend
following shareholder approval at a shareholders meeting
to be held on or prior to April 30, of each year. Sub-
ject to the applicable requirements of Mexican law (in-
cluding applicable regulations of the Bolsa for any
shares listed thereon), the Amended G-Modelo By-laws and
the Amended Diblo By-laws, the common dividend shall be
payable to shareholders of record on the date of the
shareholders meeting and shall be paid on or prior to the
fifth day following the declaration date.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 5.9, A-B and the Controlling Shareholders
agree to consider prior to the declaration of annual
dividends on the Series A Shares, the Series B Shares and
the Series C Shares the effect such dividends will have
on the business, operations and best interests of G-
Modelo and the G-Modelo Corporations, including, if
applicable, taking into account the purchase by G-Modelo
of the Banamex Put Shares (as defined in Section 5.16)
pursuant to Section 5.16.

Shareholders and G-Modelo agree that following the Clos-
ing Date and for so long as the Investor owns at least 10
percent of the shares of capital stock of G-Modelo and at
least 10 percent of the shares of capital stock of Diblo,
(i) the only assets of G-Modelo will be 169,701,202 Diblo

the date hereof, G-Modelo and the G-Modelo Corporations
have the continued intention to cause their officers and
employees to conduct their businesses so as to comply in
all material respects with all Federal, state and local
Mexican laws, including those concerning payments of
money or other things of value to government officials
41
and to refrain from making or authorizing an offer or
payment of money or other thing of value, directly or
indirectly, (a) to or for the benefit of a government
official in order to obtain the wrongful performance or
omission of any acts related to the duties of such gov-
ernment official, or (b) to a political party or ▇▇▇▇▇-
date when such contributions are not made in the form and
within the limits permitted by Mexican law so as to
wrongfully influence any official act or decision or to
wrongfully induce such party or candidate to wrongfully
use its or his influence with the government to affect or
influence any act or decision of government.
5.13. Sale of Series C Shares to Employees.
------------------------------------
G-Modelo shall have the right to offer for subscription
up to 3,048,525 Series C Shares from its treasury to
certain executive employees of the G-Modelo Corporations

stock purchase plan to be adopted following the Closing.
G-Modelo agrees to consult with A-B in connection with
the creation and implementation of such plan to ensure
that the plan will not result in compensation expense

bers of the technical committees of the Control Trust,
the Option Trust and the Banamex Trust are Controlling
Shareholders.
42
5.16. Failure by the Investor to Acquire all
--------------------------------------
Diblo Option Shares. In the event that the Investor does
-------------------
not acquire all of the Diblo Option Shares (as such term
is defined in Section 6.4) pursuant to Section 6.4, the
Controlling Shareholders shall have the right, at their
sole election, at any time during the three year period
following the expiration of the Investor's right to
acquire such Diblo Option Shares pursuant to the Diblo
Option (as such term is defined in Section 6.4) either
(a) to require that G-Modelo purchase all of the Diblo
Common Shares then held by the Banamex Trust (the "Banam-
ex Put Shares"), such right being exercisable at any time
or from time to time, in whole or in part, or (b) to
merge Diblo and G-Modelo with the result that each out-
standing Diblo Common Share held by the Banamex Trust or
the Investor shall be converted into a number of shares
of full voting common stock of G-Modelo reflecting the
fair market value thereof (with Series A Shares being
issued to the Controlling Shareholders and Series B
Shares being issued to the Investor); provided, however,
-------- -------
(i) that no such merger shall be effected unless A-B has
agreed that the merger would not have any significant ad-
verse financial, accounting or tax consequences for A-B,
and (ii) if such merger is effected, the shares issued to
the Controlling Shareholders would not be Restricted
Shares (as hereinafter defined) subject to Article VI of
this Agreement. If the merger of Diblo and G-Modelo is
prohibited by the immediately preceding clause, the
parties shall work together to achieve a mutually accept-
able transaction structure which would achieve the Con-
trolling Shareholders' objectives. In the event that the
Controlling Shareholders elect to require G-Modelo to
purchase the Banamex Put Shares pursuant to clause (a)
above, the Controlling Shareholders shall deliver a
written notice (the "Banamex Put Notice") to G-Modelo and
the Investor in accordance with Section 13.10 indicating
(1) the number of Banamex Put Shares, (2) the Banamex Put
Price Per Share (as hereinafter defined), and (3) the
date and time fixed for the consummation of such sale.
The purchase price per share for the Banamex Put Shares
(the "Banamex Put Price Per Share") shall be calculated
in the same manner and subject to the same limitations
and restrictions as the Diblo Option Price Per Share
provided for in Section 6.4(a)(including the limitations
and restrictions set forth in the two provisory clauses
in the third sentence of Section 6.3(a)) except that (i)
43
all references in Section 6.3(a) to the Option Exercise
Notice shall mean the Banamex Put Notice, and (ii) the
Adjusted G-Modelo Per Share Earnings shall be calculated
during the most recently completed four quarters prior to
the date of the Banamex Put Notice.
ARTICLE VI
TRANSFER, SALE AND PURCHASE RIGHTS
----------------------------------
6.1. General. Subject to the rights and
-------
obligations of the Controlling Shareholders with respect
to their Trust Rights in the Entrusted Shares (as such
terms are defined in the Control Trust Agreement) pursu-
ant to the Control Trust Agreement, none of the Control-
ling Shareholders, the Trustee on behalf of the Control
Trust, the Trustee on behalf of the Option Trust, the
Trustee on behalf of the Banamex Trust or the Investor
shall sell, convey, assign, transfer, deliver, mortgage,
pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose (a "Disposition" or
when used as a verb, "Dispose") of any Series A Shares

be sold by the Controlling Shareholders on a widely
distributed basis in accordance with Section 5.8), Series
B Shares, Series P-C Shares or Diblo Common Shares (col-
lectively, the "Restricted Shares") held by such party
except as provided in this Agreement, the Control Trust
Agreement, the Option Trust Agreement and the Banamex
Trust Agreement; provided, however, that until such time
-------- -------
as the Series C Shares are sold to the public in accor-
dance with Section 5.8, they shall be deemed to be Re-
stricted Shares for purposes of this Agreement. Any at-
tempted Disposition in violation hereof shall be null and
void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may make
a Disposition of Restricted Shares, whether voluntarily
or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, pursuant to (a)
any transfer of legal title to the Restricted Shares
resulting from the resignation, removal or change of a
trustee holding Restricted Shares for the benefit of
another, (b) any distribution of Restricted Shares from
an estate or trust to any beneficiary thereof, (c) any
transfer of Restricted Shares to such party's spouse,
child, grandchild, brother, uncle, aunt, nephew, adopted
child, great-grandchild or parent, (d) any transfer of
Restricted Shares to a trust for the benefit of any
person described in clause (c), a Controlling Sharehold-
44
er, charitable institution or other trust created to
pursue philanthropic purposes for the benefit of third
parties not affiliated with a beer company (other than G-
Modelo or A-B), or (e) any transfer of Restricted Shares
to a partnership or corporation controlling, controlled
by or under the common control with one or more of the G-
Modelo Signatories, and only if, in each case under
clauses (a) through (e) above, (i) the recipient of such
Restricted Shares agrees in writing to be bound by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement in which event,
for purposes of this Agreement, such recipient shall be
deemed to be a (1) "Controlling Shareholder" if the
disposing party was a Controlling Shareholder, the Trust-
ee of the Control Trust, the Trustee of the Option Trust
or the Trustee of the Banamex Trust if the Disposition
was effected by a substitution of Trustee of such Trust
or (2) the Investor if the disposing party was the Inves-
tor, and (ii) in the case of any Disposition by a party
other than the Investor, the Investor receives reasonable
notice of such Disposition, a copy of the recipient's
written agreement required by clause (i) above, and
copies of any related instruments effecting a substitu-
tion of the trustee pursuant to clause (a) above, creat-
ing a trust pursuant to clause (d) above or evidencing
control of the corporation or partnership to which a
Disposition was made pursuant to clause (e) above, and
(iii) in the case of any Disposition by the Investor, the
Controlling Shareholders receive reasonable advance
notice of such Disposition, a copy of the recipient's
written agreement required by clause (i) above, and
copies of any related instruments creating a trust pursu-
ant to clause (d) above, effecting a substitution of the
trustee pursuant to clause (a) above or evidencing A-B's
control of the corporation or partnership to which a
Disposition was made pursuant to clause (e) above.
6.2. Offer to Sell; Right of First Refusal.
-------------------------------------
(a) In the event that the Investor ▇▇-
▇▇▇▇▇ to make a Disposition at any time of any of Re-
stricted Shares (other than the Series P-C Shares) then
owned by it (other than a Disposition permitted by Sec-
tion 6.1), the Investor shall first submit a written
offer (the "Offering Notice") of such shares to each of
the Controlling Shareholders (each of such parties, an
"Offeree") in accordance with Section 13.10 specifying
45
the number of Restricted Shares being offered for sale
(the "Offered Shares").
(b) Within five business days after
receipt of an Offering Notice, each Offeree shall give a
written notice (a "Response Notice") to the Investor
informing the Investor as to whether it desires to nego-
tiate the purchase of the Offered Shares, which Response
Notice shall specify the number of Offered Shares each
such Offeree desires to purchase. Upon receipt of
affirmative Response Notice(s) for all of the Offered
Shares, the Investor and Offeree(s) shall promptly nego-
tiate in good faith the terms governing such purchase.
In the event the Offeree(s) delivering Response Notices
do not intend, in the aggregate, to negotiate the pur-
chase of all of the Offered Shares, the Investor shall
determine whether to negotiate the sale of the aggregate
number of Offered Shares proposed to be purchased in such
Response Notices. If (i) the Investor determines to sell
such lesser number of Offered Shares, then the Investor
and the Offeree(s) delivering affirmative Response Notic-
es shall promptly negotiate in good faith the terms
governing such purchase, or (ii) the Investor determines
to attempt to sell all Offered Shares, then the Investor
shall give a written notice (a "Second Offering Notice")
within five business days after receipt of the Response
Notices to each Offeree who delivered an affirmative
Response Notice (a "Purchasing Offeree") setting forth
the names of, and number of Offered Shares to be pur-
chased by, each Purchasing Offeree and the number of
Offered Shares remaining offered for purchase. Within
five business days after receipt of a Second Offering
Notice, the Purchasing Offerees shall determine whether
they will negotiate the purchase of all Offered Shares
and give the Investor written notice of such determina-
tion (a "Second Response Notice"). If the Purchasing
Offerees, in the aggregate, determine to negotiate the
purchase of all Offered Shares, the Investor and the Pur-
chasing Offerees shall promptly negotiate in good faith
the terms governing such purchase.
(c) In the event that (i) the parties
cannot in good faith reach agreement upon the terms of
said purchase of Offered Shares within thirty days fol-
lowing the date of the Response Notice or the Second
Response Notice, as the case may be, or (ii) the Investor
makes the determination provided in paragraph (b)(ii) and
46
the Purchasing Offerees, in the aggregate, decline to
negotiate the purchase of all of the Offered Shares, then
the Investor shall have the right to negotiate the sale
of the Offered Shares to a third party (a "Third Party
Purchaser") for cash.
(d) If the Investor receives a bona fide
cash offer from a Third Party Purchaser (a "Third Party
Offer") to purchase all of such Offered Shares which the
Investor wishes to accept, the Investor shall cause the
Third Party Offer to be reduced to writing and shall
submit a written notice of such Third Party Offer (a
"Third Party Offer Notice") to each of the Purchasing
Offerees specifying (i) the names of all Purchasing
Offerees receiving the Third Party Offer Notice, (ii) the
number of Offered Shares, (iii) the proposed cash pur-
chase price (the "Third Party Offer Price"), (iv) the
name and address of the Third Party Purchaser, and (v)
all other material terms of the proposed Disposition,
including the proposed method of cash payment. The Third
Party Offer Notice shall set forth the Investor's irrevo-
cable offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Purchasing
Offerees at the price and upon the terms stated in the
Third Party Offer Notice.
(e) Within ten business days after re-
ceipt of a Third Party Offer Notice, the Purchasing
Offerees receiving a Third Party Offer Notice shall give
written notice (a "Third Party Offer Response Notice") to
the Investor as to whether they elect to purchase all,
but not less than all, of the Offered Shares upon the
terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer
Notice. Any affirmative Third Party Offer Response
Notice shall specify a date and time for the closing of
the purchase (the "Purchase Right Closing"), which date
shall not be less than ten nor more than forty days after
the date of such affirmative Third Party Response Notice.
The Purchase Right Closing shall take place at such
location as the parties may mutually agree upon, and the
purchase price per share to be paid by a Purchasing
Offeree for the purchase of Offered Shares pursuant to
this Section 6.2(e) shall be equal to the Third Party
Offer Price per share and shall be paid in the manner
proposed in the Third Party Offer Notice.
(f) If the Offered Shares are not pur-
chased by the Purchasing Offerees, the Investor may make
47
a Disposition of the Offered Shares to the Third Party
Purchaser named in the Third Party Offer Notice but only
in strict compliance with the terms stated therein or on
terms more favorable to the Investor, and thereafter the
Offered Shares in the hands of the Third Party Purchaser
shall not be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
If the Investor shall fail to complete such Disposition
to the Third Party Purchaser within ninety days following
the receipt of the Third Party Offer Response Notice, the
Investor shall be required to submit another Offering
Notice pursuant to Section 6.2(a) in order to Dispose of
any of its Restricted Shares.
(g) In the event that the Purchasing
Offerees indicate their willingness to purchase, when
aggregated, a number of Restricted Shares greater than
the number of the Offered Shares, the Offered Shares
shall be allocated among the Purchasing Offerees in
proportion to their respective percentage ownerships of
G-Modelo capital stock.
(h) Any failure by the Controlling Share-
holders to deliver a Response Notice, a Second Response
Notice or a Third Party Offer Response Notice within the
required time period shall be deemed an irrevocable
election not to purchase the Offered Shares.
(i) Subject to the rights of first refus-
al among the Controlling Shareholders set forth in the
Control Trust Agreement, the Investor shall have rights
identical to those set forth in paragraphs (a) through
(h) above with respect to all of the Restricted Shares
owned by the Controlling Shareholders or the Control
Trust, which rights shall be provided for in the Control
Trust Agreement, but shall, for purposes of this Agree-
ment, be deemed to be set forth herein as if fully set
forth in haec verba. Notwithstanding the foregoing and
-- ---- -----
as provided in the Control Trust Agreement, in the event
the Investor does not exercise the Option on or before
December 31, 1997 in full and purchase 51,052,626 Series
B Shares pursuant to Section 6.3, the Investor's rights
of first refusal shall terminate and be of no further
force and effect as of December 31, 1997 (or such later
date as provided in the Control Trust Agreement).
48
6.3. The Investor's Option to Purchase Shares
----------------------------------------
of G-Modelo Capital Stock.
-------------------------
(a) The Controlling Shareholders and the
Trustee on behalf of the Option Trust hereby grant to the
Investor an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase
51,052,626 Series B Shares, which shall be Class II
shares representing the variable capital of G-Modelo (it
being agreed that such number of shares of G-Modelo capi-
tal stock, which when added to the 20,323,498 Series P-C
Shares or Series B Shares then owned by the Investor,
will cause the Investor to own at least 35.12 percent of
the outstanding G-Modelo capital stock after exercise of
the Option) (the "Option Shares"), which Option Shares
will be obtained by converting the 51,052,626 Series A
Shares held in trust pursuant to the Option Trust Agree-
ment into a like number of Series B Shares. The exercise
price per share payable by the Investor for the Option
Shares shall be equal to the "Average Closing Price Per
Share of G-Modelo Capital Stock." The Average Closing
Price Per Share of G-Modelo Capital Stock shall be equal
to the average closing price per share of the Series C
Shares on the Bolsa for the 30 trading-days preceding the
date of the Option Exercise Notice (as hereinafter de-
fined); provided, however, that in the event such Average
-------- -------
Closing Price Per Share of G-Modelo Capital Stock (i) is
less than 15 times the Adjusted G-Modelo Per Share Earn-
ings (as hereinafter defined), the Average Closing Price
Per Share of G-Modelo Capital Stock shall be deemed to be
an amount equal to 15 times the Adjusted G-Modelo Per
Share Earnings, and (ii) is more than 19 times the Ad-
justed G-Modelo Per Share Earnings, the Average Closing
Price Per Share of G-Modelo Capital Stock shall be deemed
to be an amount equal to 19 times the Adjusted G-Modelo
Per Share Earnings; and provided, further, that (1) if,
-------- -------
in addition to the Series C Shares trading on the Bolsa
on the date the Average Closing Price Per Share of G-
Modelo Capital Stock is determined, the Series A Shares
and/or Series B Shares are also traded on the Bolsa on
such date, the Average Closing Price Per Share of G-
Modelo Capital Stock shall be equal to the quotient
(rounded to the fourth decimal) determined by (x) multi-
plying the average closing price per share of each Series
of G-Modelo so traded on the Bolsa for such 30 trading-
day period by the number of outstanding shares of such
Series, and (y) adding all such multiplication products
49
to determine the sum thereof, and (z) dividing such sum
by the aggregate number of outstanding shares of all
Series of capital stock of G-Modelo so traded; (2) if
shares of any Series of capital stock of G-Modelo were
not traded on the Bolsa for a period of 30 trading-days
preceding the date of the Option Exercise Notice, the
Average Closing Price Per Share of G-Modelo Capital Stock
shall be based on the average closing price per share of
such Series of G-Modelo capital stock on the Bolsa for
such number of days that such Series of G-Modelo stock
traded on the Bolsa prior to such date, subject to the
limitations provided in the immediately preceding provi-
so; and (3) if 26,420,548 Series C Shares (such shares
representing thirteen percent of the total authorized
capital stock of G-Modelo) have not theretofore been sold
to the public as contemplated by Section 5.8 and placed
on the Bolsa, the Average Closing Price Per Share of G-
Modelo Capital Stock shall be conclusively deemed to have
been established as provided in clause (i) of the immedi-
ately preceding proviso. For purposes hereof, the "Ad-
justed G-Modelo Per Share Earnings" shall mean (x) the
consolidated after-tax net earnings of G-Modelo calculat-
ed in accordance with Mexican GAAP for the most recently
completed four quarters prior to the date of the Option
Exercise Notice, as reported to the Bolsa, if shares of
G-Modelo capital stock have been listed on the Bolsa, or
as prepared by G-Modelo, if shares have not been listed,
excluding any non-recurring extraordinary items, divided
by (y) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of
G-Modelo capital stock; and provided, further, that for
-------- -------
purposes of this Agreement, such Adjusted G-Modelo Per
Share Earnings shall be independently certified by each
of C&L and PW.
(b) The Option may be exercised by the
Investor, in whole or in part, at any time or from time
to time commencing on July 1, 1995 and ending on December
31, 1997 by delivery of written notice of such exercise
(an "Option Exercise Notice") to the Controlling Share-
holders and the Option Trust in accordance with Section
13.10. The Option Exercise Notice shall indicate (i) the
date (an "Option Closing Date") and time fixed for the
Option Closing (which date shall not be less than ten nor
more than forty days following the date of the Option
Exercise Notice), (ii) the number of Option Shares to be
purchased, and (iii) the Average Closing Price Per Share
of G-Modelo Capital Stock. The closing of the purchase
50
of the Option Shares (an "Option Closing") shall take
place at such location as the parties may mutually agree
upon.
(c) At any Option Closing hereunder (i)
the Investor shall pay in immediately available funds an
aggregate purchase price for the Option Shares to be
purchased (the "Aggregate Option Price") equal to the
product of (A) the Average Closing Price Per Share of G-
Modelo Capital Stock and (B) the number of Option Shares
being purchased at such Option Closing converted into
United States dollars at the Free Exchange Rate, and (ii)
the Trustee on behalf of the Option Trust shall deliver
to the Investor a certificate or certificates represent-
ing the number of Option Shares so purchased, duly en-
dorsed in the name of the Investor.
(d) In the event that any purchase of
Option Shares by the Investor pursuant to this Section
6.3 would require the approval of or any filing with any
Mexican or United States governmental agency, including,
without limitation, the Mexican Foreign Investment Com-
mission pursuant to the LRMI, the LEC or the United
States Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division
of the United States Department of Justice pursuant to
the HSR Act, and such approval has not been obtained or
all waiting periods have not expired or been terminated
prior to the Option Closing Date, (x) if the approval of
the Mexican Foreign Investment Commission pursuant to the
LRMI is the sole remaining approval and all other appli-
cable waiting periods have expired or been terminated,
the Investor shall have the right to appoint a designated
purchaser to consummate such purchase pursuant to Section
5.3(a), or (y) the Option Closing Date shall automati-
cally be extended to the date which is no more than three
business days after the approval of all such governmental
agencies has been granted and all waiting periods have
expired or been terminated; provided, however, the Option
-------- -------
Closing Date may not be extended beyond August 10, 1998.
In the event that the Option Closing is extended pursuant
to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Aggregate Option Price shall be reduced by the aggregate
amount of dividends on the Option Shares to be purchased
at the Option Closing, if any, declared following the
Option Closing Date set forth in the Option Exercise
Notice and paid to holders of record on a date which is
prior to the date the Option Closing, as so extended
51
occurs; provided, however, the Investor shall be required
-------- -------
to pay interest on such Aggregate Option Price at the
Prime Rate, for the period beginning on the Option Clos-
ing Date set forth in the Option Exercise Notice to but
not including the date the Option Closing, as so extend-
ed, occurs.
6.4. The Investor's Option to Purchase Diblo
---------------------------------------
Common Shares.
-------------
(a) The Controlling Shareholders and the
Trustee on behalf of the Banamex Trust hereby grant to
the Investor an irrevocable option (the "Diblo Option")
to purchase 32,237,145 Diblo Series B Shares, which shall
be Class II shares representing the variable capital of
Diblo (it being agreed that such number of shares of
Diblo capital stock, which when added to the 24,329,922
Diblo Series B Shares then owned by the Investor, will
cause the Investor to own at least 23.25 percent of the
outstanding Diblo capital stock after exercise of the
Diblo Option) (the "Diblo Option Shares"), which Diblo
Option Shares are held in the Banamex Trust. The exer-
cise price per share payable by the Investor for the
Diblo Option Shares (the "Diblo Option Price Per Share")
shall be calculated by (i) adding the Total G-Modelo
Common Equity Capitalization (as hereinafter defined) to
the product obtained by multiplying the Average Closing
Price Per Share of G-Modelo Capital Stock by the total
number of Series P-C Shares then outstanding (the "Total
G-Modelo Equity Capitalization"), (ii) dividing the Total
G-Modelo Equity Capitalization by G-Modelo's aggregate
percentage ownership of the outstanding Diblo capital
stock on the day preceding the date of the Diblo Option
Exercise Notice (as hereinafter defined)(the "Total Diblo
Equity Capitalization"), and (iii) dividing the Total
Diblo Equity Capitalization by the aggregate number of
Diblo Common Shares and Diblo P-C Shares outstanding at
the close of business on the day preceding the date of
the Diblo Option Exercise Notice (the "Diblo Per Share
Market Price"). For purposes hereof, "Total G-Modelo
Common Equity Capitalization" shall mean the product
obtained by multiplying (x) the Average Closing Price Per
Share of G-Modelo Capital Stock by (y) the aggregate
number of Series A Shares, Series B Shares and Series C
Shares outstanding at the close of business on the day
preceding the date of the Diblo Option Exercise Notice.
The determination of the Diblo Option Price Per Share
52
shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions set
forth in, and shall be calculated in accordance with, the
two provisory clauses in the third sentence of Section
6.3(a) above; provided, however, the Adjusted G-Modelo
-------- -------
Per Share Earnings shall be calculated during the most
recently completed four quarters prior to the date of the
Diblo Option Exercise Notice and all references to Option
Exercise Notice in Section 6.3(a) shall mean the Diblo
Option Exercise Notice.
(b) The Diblo Option may be exercised by
the Investor, in whole or in part, at any time or from
time to time commencing on July 1, 1995 and ending on
December 31, 1997 by delivery of written notice of such
exercise (the "Diblo Option Exercise Notice") to the
Controlling Shareholders and the Banamex Trust in accor-
dance with Section 13.10. The Diblo Option Exercise
Notice shall indicate (i) the date (the "Diblo Option
Closing Date") and time fixed for the Diblo Option Clos-
ing (which date shall not be less than ten nor more than
forty days following the date of the Diblo Option Exer-
cise Notice), (ii) the number of Diblo Option Shares to
be purchased, and (iii) the Diblo Option Price Per Share.
The closing of the purchase of the Diblo Option Shares
(the "Diblo Option Closing") shall take place at such
location as the parties may mutually agree upon.
(c) At any Diblo Option Closing hereunder
(i) the Investor shall pay in immediately available funds
an aggregate purchase price for the Diblo Option Shares
to be purchased (the "Aggregate Diblo Option Price")
equal to the product of (A) the Diblo Option Price Per
Share and (B) the number of Diblo Option Shares being
purchased at such Diblo Option Closing converted into
United States dollars at the Free Exchange Rate, and (ii)
the Trustee on behalf of the Banamex Trust shall deliver
to the Investor a certificate or certificates represent-
ing the number of Diblo Option Shares so purchased, duly
endorsed in the name of the Investor.
(d) In the event that any purchase of
Diblo Option Shares by the Investor pursuant to this
Section 6.4 would require the approval of or any filing
with any Mexican or United States governmental agency,
including, without limitation, the Mexican Foreign In-
vestment Commission pursuant to the LRMI, the LEC or the
United States Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust
53
Division of the United States Department of Justice
pursuant to the HSR Act, and such approval has not been
obtained or all waiting periods have not expired or been
terminated prior to the Diblo Option Closing Date, (x) if
the approval of the Mexican Foreign Investment Commission
pursuant to the LRMI is the sole remaining approval and
all other applicable waiting periods have expired or been
terminated, the Investor shall have the right to appoint
a designated purchaser to consummate such purchase pursu-
ant to Section 5.3(a) or (y) the Diblo Option Closing
Date shall automatically be extended to the date which is
no more than three business days after the approval of
all such governmental agencies has been granted and all
waiting periods have expired or been terminated; provid-
-------
ed, however, the Diblo Option Closing Date may not be
-- -------
extended beyond August 10, 1998. In the event that the
Diblo Option Closing is extended pursuant to clause (y)
of the immediately preceding sentence, the Aggregate
Diblo Option Price shall be reduced by the aggregate
amount of dividends on the Diblo Option Shares to be
purchased at the Diblo Option Closing, if any, declared
following the Diblo Option Closing Date set forth in the
Diblo Option Exercise Notice and paid to holders of
record on a date which is prior to the date the Diblo
Option Closing, as so extended, occurs; provided, howev-
-------- ------
er, the Investor shall be required to pay interest on
--
such Aggregate Diblo Option Price at the Prime Rate, for
the period beginning on the Diblo Option Closing Date set
forth in the Diblo Option Exercise Notice to but not
including the date the Diblo Option Closing, as so ex-
tended, occurs.
6.5. Consequences of Failure to Convert Series
-----------------------------------------
P-C Shares. In the event that the Investor does not
----------
convert the Series P-C Shares into a like number of
Series B Shares on or prior to December 31, 1996, in
accordance with the terms of the Series P-C Shares, then
the following provisions shall be mandatorily and irrevo-
cably applicable and binding on all parties to this
Agreement.
(a) The Series P-C Shares shall be re-
deemed by G-Modelo on December 31, 1996, in accordance
with the terms of the Series P-C Shares and the Amended
G-Modelo By-laws.
54
(b) The rights granted to the Investor to
purchase Option Shares and Diblo Option Shares pursuant
to Sections 6.3 and 6.4, respectively, the restrictions
on transfer and the right of first refusal granted to the
Investor pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2(i) hereof and
Clause Eighth and Annex 3 of the Control Trust Agreement,
respectively, and the restrictions on transfer and the
right of first refusal granted to the Controlling Share-
holders pursuant to Section 6.1 and 6.2, respectively,
shall expire and be of no further force and effect.
(c) The Investor shall have the right
(the "Put Right"), in its sole discretion, to require
that:
(i) the Controlling Sharehold-
ers purchase all, but not less than all, of the
Shares of G-Modelo Stock (the "G-Modelo Put
Shares") and the Diblo Common Shares (the "Dib-
lo Put Shares," and together with the "G-Modelo
Put Shares," the "Put Shares") then owned,
directly or indirectly, by the Investor and its
authorized designees, if any; and
(ii) the Controlling Sharehold-
ers or G-Modelo or any combination thereof pur-
chase all, but not less than all, of the Diblo
Put Shares then owned, directly or indirectly,
by the Investor and its authorized designees,
if any.
The Investor shall exercise the Put Right by delivering a
written notice (the "Put Notice") to the Controlling
Shareholders and G-Modelo in accordance with Section
13.10 indicating (1) the number of Put Shares, (2) the G-
Modelo Put Price Per Share (as hereinafter defined) and
the Diblo Put Price Per Share (as hereinafter defined),
and (3) the date and time fixed for the consummation of
such sale (the "Put Closing"), which date shall not be
less than ten nor more than forty days following the date
of the Put Notice. The purchase price per share for the
G-Modelo Put Shares (the "G-Modelo Put Price Per Share")
shall be calculated in the same manner and subject to the
same limitations as the Average Closing Price Per Share
of G-Modelo Capital Stock provided for in Section 6.3(a)
except that (x) all references in Section 6.3(a) to
Option Exercise Notice shall mean Put Notice, and (y) the
55
Adjusted G-Modelo Per Share Earnings shall be calculated
during the most recently completed four quarters prior to
the date of the Put Notice. The purchase price per share
for the Diblo Put Shares (the "Diblo Put Price Per
Share") shall be calculated in the same manner and sub-
ject to the same limitations as the Diblo Option Price
Per Share provided for in Section 6.4(a) except that (i)
all references in Section 6.3(a) to Option Exercise
Notice shall mean Put Notice, and (ii) the Adjusted G-
Modelo Per Share Earnings shall be calculated during the
most recently completed four quarters prior to the date
of the Put Notice. At the Put Closing, (x) the Control-
ling Shareholders or G-Modelo or any such combination
thereof shall pay an aggregate purchase price for the Put
Shares equal to the sum of (A) the product obtained by
multiplying the G-Modelo Put Price Per Share by the
number of G-Modelo Put Shares, and (B) the product ob-
tained by multiplying the Diblo Put Price Per Share by
the number of Diblo Put Shares, in United States dollars
in immediately available funds, calculated in accordance
with the Free Exchange Rate, and (y) the Investor shall
deliver to the purchasers certificates representing the
Put Shares, duly endorsed in the name of the purchaser.
(d) In addition to, and not in lieu of,
the Put Rights, the Investor shall have the right (the
"Withdrawal Right"), in its sole discretion, to require
that G-Modelo (in the case of G-Modelo capital stock) and
Diblo (in the case of Diblo capital stock) purchase all,
but not less than all, of the G-Modelo Put Shares and the
Diblo Put Shares, respectively, then owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Investor and its authorized designees,
if any, and G-Modelo and Diblo shall be obligated to
purchase all of such shares. The Investor shall exercise
the Withdrawal Right by delivering a written notice (the
"Withdrawal Notice") to the Controlling Shareholders, G-
Modelo and Diblo in accordance with Section 13.10 indi-
cating the number of G-Modelo Put Shares and Diblo Put
Shares to be withdrawn. G-Modelo, Diblo and the Control-
ling Shareholders, in their capacity as shareholders,
directors or officers of G-Modelo and Diblo and as mem-
bers of the technical committees of the Control Trust,
the Option Trust and the Banamex Trust, will take all
actions, and do all things necessary to ensure that the
withdrawal is completed (the "Withdrawal Closing") as
soon as permitted by Mexican law, the Amended G-Modelo
By-laws and the Amended Diblo By-laws. For purposes of
56
this Section 6.5(d), the withdrawal price per share for
the G-Modelo Put Shares pursuant to the Withdrawal Right
(the "G-Modelo Withdrawal Price Per Share") shall be the
amount per share of G-Modelo capital stock paid by G-
Modelo to the Investor in connection with the exercise of
the Withdrawal Right pursuant to the Amended G-Modelo By-
laws. For purposes of this Section 6.5(d), the with-
drawal price per share for the Diblo Put Shares pursuant
to the Withdrawal Right (the "Diblo Withdrawal Price Per
Share") shall be the amount per share of Diblo capital
stock paid by Diblo to the Investor in connection with
the exercise of the Withdrawal Right pursuant to the
Amended Diblo By-laws. At the Withdrawal Closing, (x) G-
Modelo shall pay an aggregate withdrawal price (the
"Aggregate G-Modelo Withdrawal Price") for the G-Modelo
Put Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying
the G-Modelo Withdrawal Price Per Share by the number of
G-Modelo Put Shares, and Diblo shall pay an aggregate
withdrawal price (the "Aggregate Diblo withdrawal Price"
and, together with the Aggregate G-Modelo Withdrawal
Price, the "Aggregate Withdrawal Price") for the Diblo
Put Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying
the Diblo Put Price Per Share by the number of Diblo Put
Shares, in Mexican Pesos in immediately available funds,
and (y) the Investor shall deliver to G-Modelo and Diblo,
as the case may be, the certificates representing the Put
Shares, duly endorsed in the names of the companies. In
connection with the Investor's exercise of the Withdrawal
Right pursuant to this Section 6.5(d), the Controlling
Shareholders agree to indemnify, jointly and severally,
the Investor for the full amount, if any, of the G-Modelo
Withdrawal Price Shortfall (as hereinafter defined) and
the Diblo Withdrawal Price Shortfall (as hereinafter de-
fined). For purposes of this Section 6.5(d), (1) the "G-
Modelo Withdrawal Price Shortfall" shall be an amount
equal to the sum of (A) the difference between the G-
Modelo Put Price Per Share calculated in accordance with
Section 6.5(c) and the G-Modelo Withdrawal Price Per
Share plus (B) an amount equal to the interest on the
Aggregate G-Modelo Withdrawal Price and the G-Modelo
Withdrawal Price Shortfall at the Prime Rate, for the
period beginning on the earliest date on which the Put
Closing could have occurred had the Controlling Share-
holders purchased the G-Modelo Put Shares pursuant to the
Put Right and continuing to but not including the date of
the Withdrawal Closing, and (2) the "Diblo Withdrawal
Price Shortfall" shall be an amount equal to the sum of
57
(C) the difference between the Diblo Put Price Per Share
calculated in accordance with Section 6.5(c) and the
Diblo Withdrawal Price Per Share plus (D) an amount equal
to the interest on the Aggregate Diblo Withdrawal Price
and the Diblo Withdrawal Price Shortfall at the Prime
Rate for the period beginning on the earliest date on
which the Put Closing could have occurred had the Con-
trolling Shareholders purchased the Diblo Put Shares
pursuant to the Put Right and continuing to but not in-
cluding the date of the Withdrawal Closing. The Control-
ling Shareholders agree to pay the G-Modelo Withdrawal
Price Shortfall and the Diblo Withdrawal Price Shortfall
to the Investor in United States dollars in immediately
available funds calculated in accordance with the Free
Exchange Rate within three business days after the With-
drawal Closing.
(e) The Controlling Shareholders shall
have the right (the "Call Right") to require that the
Investor sell all, but not less than all, of the Put
Shares, and the Investor shall be obligated to so sell
all of the Put Shares. The Controlling Shareholders
shall exercise the Call Right by delivering a written
notice (the "Call Notice") to the Investor in accordance
with Section 13.10 indicating the total number of Put
Shares, (ii) the Aggregate Call Purchase Price (as here-
inafter defined), and (iii) the date and time fixed for
the consummation of such sale (the "Call Closing"), which
date shall not be less than ten nor more than forty days
following the date of the Call Notice. The purchase
price per share for the Put Shares shall be calculated in
the same manner and subject to the same limitations as
provided for in Section 6.5(c) except that (i) all refer-
ences in Section 6.3(a) to Option Exercise Notice shall
mean Call Notice, and (ii) the Adjusted G-Modelo Per
Share Earnings shall be calculated during the most re-
cently completed four quarters prior to the date of the
Call Notice (the "Call Price Per Share"). At the Call
Closing, the purchasers shall pay an aggregate purchase
price for the Put Shares equal to the Call Price Per
Share multiplied by the number of Put Shares, in United
States dollars in immediately available funds, calculated
in accordance with the Free Exchange Rate, and (ii) the
Investor shall deliver to the purchasers certificates
representing the Put Shares, duly endorsed in the name of
the purchasers.
58
(f) Following consummation of the trans-
actions contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (c) or (d) or
(e) and the performance in full by all parties of all of
their obligations thereunder, this Agreement shall termi-
nate (other than Sections 5.1(b), 13.8, 13.9, 13.10,
13.11, 13.12 and Article XII).

be sold on a widely distributed basis in accordance with
Section 5.8) or any G-Modelo Corporation to any Person or
its controlling shareholders engaged, directly or indi-
rectly, in the production, distribution or sale of beer
in or to the United States or Mexico other than the
Investor or its designees in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
6.7. Restrictions on Acquiring Series C
----------------------------------
Shares. Until the earlier of (x) such time as the Inves-
------
tor has exercised the Option in full or (y) the expira-

each agree that they will not, directly or indirectly
through affiliates, nominees or otherwise, acquire record
or beneficial ownership of any Series A Shares, Series B
Shares or Series C Shares pursuant to open-market pur-
chases.
6.8. Extension of Time Periods. In the event
-------------------------
that any purchase of shares of G-Modelo capital stock or
Diblo capital stock by A-B, A-BI or the Investor, on the
one hand, or the Controlling Shareholders or G-Modelo, on
the other hand, pursuant to Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5
and 12.2 hereof and Clause Eighth and Annex 3 of the
Control Trust Agreement is subject to any legal impedi-
ment or would require the approval of or any filing with
any Mexican or United States governmental agency, includ-
ing, without limitation, the Mexican Foreign investment
Commission pursuant to the LRMI, the LEC or the United
States Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division
59
of the United States Department of Justice pursuant to
the HSR Act, and such legal impediment is not removed or
approval has not been obtained or all waiting periods
have not expired or been terminated prior to the date set
for the consummation of the acquisition of such shares,
the parties hereto agree that the termination of all
exercise periods during which such acquisition may take
place shall be tolled for a period not to exceed six
months from the expiration date of such period and as a
result of such tolling the closing date for any such
acquisition shall automatically be extended to a date
which is no more than three business days after the
approval of all such governmental agencies has been
granted and all waiting periods have expired or been
terminated; provided, however, such closing date may not
-------- -------
be extended to a date which is six months beyond the day
following the last day that such closing could otherwise
have taken place.

in furtherance of the parties' desire to obtain
the best available prices, G-Modelo and each G-
Modelo Corporation agree to consult on a semi-
annual basis with the Investor regarding all
purchases of major goods and services acquired
by them, regardless of source. Within a rea-

reasonable detail, which shall be presented to
the G-Modelo Board of Directors in the fourth
quarter of each fiscal year and thereafter
shall be revised quarterly by a Qualified Vote

damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party or
such member of the Indemnified Party's group shall have
the right to defend, at its own cost and expense, and to
compromise or settle such Claim with the consent of the
Indemnifying Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall
not, without the written consent of the Indemnified
Party, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the

(c) by either the Controlling Sharehold-
ers or A-B in writing, without liability to the terminat-

or the Controlling Shareholders, respectively, shall (i)
fail to perform in any material respect its covenants and
agreements contained herein required to be performed
prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) materially breach any
of their representations, warranties or covenants con-
tained herein if such breach would cause a condition to
the obligation of the terminating party to close not to
be satisfied and if such failure to perform or breach has
not been waived by the terminating party; provided,
--------
however, that a party's right to indemnification hereun-
-------
der shall not be affected by such party's waiver of its
right of termination pursuant to this Section 11.1 if
such right of termination arises from a willful breach of
this Agreement.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
------------------
12.1. Arbitration. In the event of a dispute
-----------
among the parties with respect to the validity, intent,
interpretation, performance, enforcement or arbitrability
of any of the terms contained in this Agreement or any
claim arising out of or in connection with this Agree-
ment, except for disputes or claims involving the types
of matters set forth in Section 12.2, such dispute or
claim shall promptly be submitted for resolution to the
Board of Directors of G-Modelo. If the G-Modelo Board of
Directors, by a Qualified Vote, shall be unable to re-
solve the dispute within 30 days, the Controlling Share-
holders shall appoint a Controlling Shareholder Nominee
and the Investor shall appoint an Investor Nominee to a
special committee. The members of the special committee
shall use their best efforts to reach an amicable resolu-
tion of the dispute and any mutually acceptable resolu-
tion shall be deemed final and binding and shall be
implemented as soon as practicable. If the special
committee is unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days
after its appointment or, if either the Controlling
Shareholders or A-B shall have failed to appoint a repre-
sentative to the special committee, within 30 days after
either the Controlling Shareholders or A-B has appointed
its representative, the matter shall be submitted for
final resolution to an international arbitration panel
consisting of three arbitrators selected as follows: the
Chairman of A-B shall select one arbitrator; a majority
of the Controlling Shareholders shall select one arbitra-
tor; and the two arbitrators so appointed shall select a
third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall be the
presiding arbitrator and may not be a citizen or resident
of either the United States or Mexico and must be unaf-
filiated with the parties hereto. In the event either
the Controlling Shareholders or A-B shall have failed to
select an arbitrator within 15 days after either the
Controlling Shareholders or A-B has selected its arbi-
trator or the two arbitrators so selected shall fail to
agree on a third arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be
selected by the United States Representative of the
International Chamber of Commerce. The place of arbitra-
tion shall be New York City, in the State of New York,
the United States of America. All arbitrators shall be
fluent in both the English and Spanish languages and
75
their award shall be rendered in English. The English
language shall be used in all documents, briefs, evidence
and any other writings submitted to the arbitration
panel. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in
the English language. The arbitration procedure set
forth in this Section 12.1 shall be the sole and exclu-
sive means of settling or resolving any dispute referred
to in this Section 12.1. The arbitration shall be con-
ducted in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules
then in effect, as modified herein. The award of the
arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties and
may be presented by any of the parties for enforcement in
any court of competent jurisdiction and the parties
hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such court solely
for purposes of enforcement of this arbitration agreement
and any award rendered hereunder. In any such enforce-
ment action, irrespective of where it is brought, none of
the parties will seek to invalidate or modify the deci-
sion of the arbitrators or otherwise to invalidate or
circumvent the procedures set forth in this Section 12.1
as the sole and exclusive means of settling or resolving
such dispute, including by appeal to any court which
would otherwise have jurisdiction in the matter. The
fees of the arbitrators and the other costs of such
arbitration shall be borne by the parties in such propor-
tions as shall be specified in the arbitration award.
12.2. Business Disagreements.
----------------------
(a) In the event that at any time follow-
ing the Closing there is a Fundamental Business Disagree-
ment (as hereinafter defined), the Investor shall have
the right to require (the "Dispute Right") that the
Controlling Shareholders purchase all, but not less than
all, of the shares of G-Modelo capital stock and the
Diblo Common Shares then owned, directly or indirectly,
by the Investor and its authorized designees, if any
(such aggregate number of shares being referred to herein
as the "Investor Shares"), at an aggregate purchase price
(the "Investor Share Price") equal to the aggregate
purchase price paid by the Investor and its authorized
designees, if any, for the Investor Shares, payable in
United States dollars in immediately available funds.
The Investor shall exercise the Dispute Right by delivery
of a written notice (the "Dispute Notice") to the Con-
trolling Shareholders in accordance with Section 13.10
indicating that (i) there exists a Fundamental Business
76
Disagreement, (ii) the number of Investor Shares to be
purchased by the Controlling Shareholders, (iii) the
Investor Share Price, and (iv) the date and time fixed
for the consummation of such sale (which date shall not
be less than twenty nor more than forty days following
the date of the Investor Notice).
(b) In the event that the Controlling
Shareholders fail, refuse or are otherwise unable or un-
willing to purchase the Investor Shares pursuant to
subsection (a) above, the Controlling Shareholders shall
notify the Investor (the "Controlling Shareholder Re-
sponse Notice") of such determination within fifteen days
following the date of the Dispute Notice, and the Inves-
tor shall have the right to purchase all, but not less
than all, of the shares of G-Modelo capital stock and
Diblo Common Shares then owned by the Controlling Share-
holders or held in trust for the benefit of the Control-
ling Shareholders (the "Controlling Shareholder Shares")
at an aggregate purchase price equal to the product of
(i) the number of Controlling Shareholder Shares and (ii)
that fraction having the Investor Price as the numerator
and the aggregate number of Investor Shares as the denom-
inator, payable in United States dollars in immediately
available funds. The Investor shall notify the Control-
ling Shareholders (the "Investor Response Notice") of its
intention with respect to the purchase of the Controlling
Shareholder Shares within fifteen days following the date
of the Controlling Shareholder Response Notice. In the
event the Investor elects to purchase the Controlling
Shareholder Shares, the Investor Response Notice shall
specify the date and time fixed for the consummation of
such purchase (which date shall not be less than ten nor
more than forty days following the Controlling Sharehold-
er Response Notice).
(c) For purposes of this Section 12.2, a
"Fundamental Business Disagreement" shall mean a dis-
agreement between A-B and the Controlling Shareholders
over fundamental business direction, e.g., change in the
charter or by-laws, change in dividend policy, corporate
objectives, etc., including, but not limited to, dis-
agreements relating to those matters with respect to
which the Investor has minority shareholder protection as
identified in Section 7.2.
