EXHIBIT 10.6
▇▇▇▇▇▇ BREWING COMPANY
DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brewing Company agrees to sell and the undersigned Distributor
agrees to buy and market such products as are listed on the Distributor Data
Sheet attached hereto, pursuant to the following terms and conditions:
1. DISTRIBUTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS
Distributor represents and warrants that:
(a) The information submitted to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in Distributor's application,
including any marketing plans, and the information on the Distributor Data
Sheet (which shall have been completed and signed by Distributor at the time
this Agreement is executed) is true and complete.
(b) Distributor has all permits and licenses necessary for Distributor
lawfully to distribute ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products in Distributor's Area (as defined in
Paragraph 2[a] or 2[b] below).
(c) Distributor has not paid nor agreed to pay any fee or monetary
consideration or anything of value to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or to or for the benefit of any
▇▇▇▇▇▇ officer, director, employee or representative with respect to the
issuance of this Agreement.
In reliance on the above representations and warranties, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ enters
into this Agreement with Distributor.
2. DISTRIBUTOR'S AREA
(a) The following provisions shall be applicable during all such times
as permitted by applicable state or federal law or regulation:
▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby appoints Distributor as its sole distributor within the
geographic area described in the Distributor Data Sheet ("Distributor's
Area") for the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products listed in the Distributor Data Sheet ("▇▇▇▇▇▇
products"). Unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has granted its prior written approval,
Distributor shall not sell or supply ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products to any retail location
within another authorized ▇▇▇▇▇▇ distributor's area nor to any person
Distributor has reason to believe will sell or supply all or part of such
products to any retail location within another authorized ▇▇▇▇▇▇
distributor's area. Nothing in this subparagraph shall prevent Distributor
from selling or supplying ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products to another authorized ▇▇▇▇▇▇
distributor for the purpose of eliminating product shortages or inventory
imbalances.
(b) The following provisions, rather than the provisions of subparagraph
(a), shall apply whenever any of the provisions of subparagraph (a) are
expressly prohibited by any final court order or precluded by any applicable
statute or regulation:
Page 1 Exhibit 10.6
▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby appoints Distributor as a distributor within the geographic
area described in the Distributor Data Sheet ("Distributor's Area") for the
▇▇▇▇▇▇ products listed in the Distributor Data Sheet ("▇▇▇▇▇▇ products").
Distributor's primary responsibility shall be to promote and sell ▇▇▇▇▇▇
products to retail locations in Distributor's Area. If Distributor sells or
supplies ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products to retail locations outside Distributor's Area or to
any person (other than an authorized ▇▇▇▇▇▇ distributor) who Distributor has
reason to believe will sell or supply all or part of such products to retail
locations outside Distributor's Area, Distributor's obligations under
Paragraph 4 of this Agreement shall extend to each such retail location.
Distributor shall notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ immediately of all such sales in order to
ensure effective monitoring of Distributor's compliance with all such
obligations.
3. MANAGEMENT OF DISTRIBUTOR
(a) Distributor agrees to have at all times a Manager approved by ▇▇▇▇▇▇
who shall manage Distributor's business and vigorously promote and sell
▇▇▇▇▇▇ products in accordance with this Agreement. The Manager shall be
designated on the Distributor Data Sheet. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has entered into this
Agreement in reliance upon and in consideration of the personal
qualifications of the individual designated as Manager.
(b) Distributor agrees that the individual designated as
Successor-Manager on the Distributor Data Sheet shall become Manager of
Distributor whenever the current Manager becomes unable or ceases for any
reason to function as Manager. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has entered into this Agreement in
reliance upon and in consideration of the personal qualifications of the
individual designated as Successor-Manager. Distributor shall notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇
in writing (i) if the Successor-Manager succeeds to the position of Manager;
and (ii) if, for any reason, Successor-Manager is no longer available or is
unable to assume the position of Manager. Distributor shall thereupon
appoint a new Successor-Manager in accordance with the procedures set forth
in subparagraph (c) below.
(c) Within ninety (90) days after Distributor ceases for any reason to
have a designated Successor-Manager, Distributor shall submit to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ a
written application in the form provided by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ requesting ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
approval of a properly-qualified individual selected by Distributor as
Successor-Manager. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to interview the individual
proposed as Successor-Manager and Distributor shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with
information reasonably related to the individual's qualifications to serve as
Manager. Within sixty (60) days after the date of receipt of Distributor's
application for a new Successor-Manager, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall grant its approval
unless it determines that the proposed Successor-Manager lacks the necessary
qualifications to manage Distributor's business and to promote and sell
▇▇▇▇▇▇ products in accordance with this Agreement. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does not approve
the proposed Successor-Manager, Distributor shall submit another application
within sixty (60) days and the procedures described in this subparagraph
shall be repeated as often as necessary. Any changes in the identity of the
Manager or Successor-Manager shall be entered on the Distributor Data Sheet.
(d) Until such time as the Successor-Manager becomes Manager of
Distributor's business, (i) Distributor shall have the unlimited right to
revoke its designation of the Successor-Manager by giving notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of
such revocation and by submitting a new
Page 2 Exhibit 10.6
Successor-Manager application pursuant to subparagraph (c) above, and (ii)
▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to withdraw its approval of the Successor-Manager
by giving written notice to Distributor. Any agreement that Distributor may
enter into with a proposed or designated Successor-Manager shall provide that
such individual shall have no legal rights to become Manager if ▇▇▇▇▇▇
disapproves or withdraws its approval pursuant to this Paragraph.
(e) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Paragraph, Distributor
may, with ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ prior written approval, forgo designating a
Successor-Manager until such time as ▇▇▇▇▇▇, by giving Distributor ninety
(90) days' prior written notice, requires such designation.
(f) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) above, Distributor may
at its sole discretion terminate the employment of Manager or change
Manager's duties so that he is no longer managing the business.

5. OWNERSHIP OF DISTRIBUTOR
(a) The prior approval of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be required for the transfer
at death to heir(s) or legatee(s) of Distributor's business or any ownership
interest therein. Any subsequent change in control, as defined in
subparagraph (c) below, shall require ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ prior written approval.
(b) Distributor shall have the right to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of its entire business or any part of its business except when such
disposition results in the transfer of Distributor's rights or obligations
under this Agreement, in which case Distributor shall follow the procedures
and comply with the conditions set forth in this subparagraph:
(i) Distributor shall give written notice on a form provided by
▇▇▇▇▇▇ before proceeding with negotiations concerning a possible sale.
Distributor and representatives of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall meet as soon as practicable
to discuss the proposed sale. Distributor shall not proceed with such
negotiations for sixty (60) days following ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ receipt of the forgoing
notice or such lesser period as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall specify.
(ii) Any sale, transfer or other disposition shall be subject to
the prior written approval of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as specified in this Paragraph 5.
Distributor shall supply to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ such information concerning the terms and
conditions of the proposed sale as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may reasonably require. ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
approval of the proposed sale shall not be unreasonably withheld. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇
approves the proposed sale, such approval shall be effective only for a
period of sixty (60) days (unless extended by ▇▇▇▇▇▇) and thereafter shall be
null and void. Distributor shall promptly notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the consummation
of any such approved sale.
(iii) If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ disapproves of the proposed sale, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall so
notify Distributor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ then shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to make the purchase at the same price and terms which
Distributor has agreed upon with the proposed
Page 5 Exhibit 10.6
purchaser; provided, however, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not exercise this right if
the terms applicable to the proposed sale have not been negotiated and agreed
to between Distributor and the proposed purchaser on an arm's-length basis.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ may exercise its right to purchase under this subparagraph by giving
written notice to Distributor within sixty (60) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
disapproval of the proposed sale. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ elects to exercise this option,
Distributor agrees to execute promptly all documents reasonably required to
transfer Distributor's business to ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
(c) Except as provided in subparagraph (a) above, there shall be no
change in the control of Distributor's business unless Distributor shall have
obtained ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ prior written approval. As used herein, "a change in the
control of Distributor's business" means any change in ownership interests,
whether by one transaction or by the cumulative effect of several
transactions with the same or different parties, which has the legal or
practical effect of transferring the power to determine Distributor's
business policies. Such a change in control shall include, but not be
limited to, any sale, transfer, change of ownership or other disposition in
either the record or beneficial ownership of the following: (i) 10 percent or
more of Distributor's voting stock; (ii) if Distributor is not incorporated,
a 10 percent or more interest in Distributor's business; (iii) 10 percent or
more of the voting stock of a corporation which owns 50 percent or more of
Distributor's voting stock; and (iv) a change in the form of business entity
presently used by Distributor (E.G., a change from individual ownership or a
partnership to a corporation). Without ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ prior written approval,
there shall be no grant of stock options, establishment of trusts to hold
stock in Distributor's business, nor execution of any agreement by one or
more owners of Distributor which provides that, under certain circumstances,
the interest of one of them in Distributor shall be sold or purchased by one
or more of the owners. It shall be Distributor's responsibility to notify
all of the owners of Distributor of the provisions of this subparagraph and
to notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ promptly in writing of any sale, transfer, change of
ownership or any other disposition of an ownership interest in Distributor.
(d) Unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has given its prior written approval:
(i) Neither Distributor nor any corporation which, directly or
indirectly, has an ownership interest in Distributor shall be owned by the
public; and
(ii) There shall be no sale or offering for sale on any stock
exchange over the counter, or on the open market of any securities of
Distributor or securities of any corporation which, directly or indirectly,
has an ownership interest in Distributor.
(e) It shall be Distributor's responsibility to furnish a copy of this
Agreement to any prospective purchaser of any ownership interest in
Distributor.
6. DISTRIBUTOR'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE
Distributor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time
by giving ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ninety (90) days' prior written notice. In such event,
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ sole obligation to Distributor shall be the purchase of
Distributor's inventory pursuant to Paragraph 8(c) below. If Distributor
ceases business operations with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products, Distributor
Page 6 Exhibit 10.6
shall be considered to have terminated this Agreement, effective as of the
date operations cease.
7. ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ TERMINATION RIGHTS
(a) (i) Except as provided in subparagraph (b) below, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may at any
time initiate termination in accordance with the procedures specified in
this subparagraph if Distributor fails to comply with any commitment or
undertaking stated in its application or with any of the obligations set
forth in Paragraph 4 of this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall initiate such
termination by providing written notice to Distributor which shall state
the nature of Distributor's noncompliance. Subject to extensions granted
at ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ sole discretion, Distributor shall then have thirty (30) days
in which to submit a plan of corrective action and an additional sixty (60)
days to cure such noncompliance in accordance with such plan. If
Distributor fails to cure on a timely basis, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice.
(ii) Upon such termination, the execution of a general release of
all claims, of whatever nature, which Distributor may have against ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay Distributor twice the Distributor's pre-tax net income
attributable to sale of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products for Distributor's most recently
completed fiscal year. "Pre-tax net income" shall mean the proceeds realized
from the sale of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products during Distributor's most recently completed
fiscal year, less all direct and indirect costs and expenses (including
depreciation computed on a straight-line basis, but excluding taxes based on
or measured by income and non-recurring or extraordinary charges or credits)
incurred in the purchase, storage, sale and delivery of such products. This
amount shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and practices. If the Distributor's business includes two or more
business entities, data for all such entities shall be aggregated, using the
proceeds, costs and expenses of each of such business entities during the
fiscal years ending with or within such Distributor's most recently completed
fiscal year.
(b) If any of the following events occur, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement immediately upon giving written notice without any
obligation on ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ part to follow the procedures or to make the
termination payment to Distributor provided for in Paragraph 7(a):
(i) Conviction of Distributor or any of Distributor's owners of a
felony.
(ii) Distributor's fraudulent conduct or substantial
misrepresentation in any of its dealings with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or with others
concerning ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products.
(iii) Any significant variation between the financial data
submitted to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in Distributor's application and the actual financial
condition of Distributor as reflected in Distributor's balance sheet at the
time Distributor commences operations under this Agreement.
Page 7 Exhibit 10.6
(iv) Revocation or suspension of any of Distributor's federal,
state or local licenses or permits for more than thirty-one (31) days, if
such license or permit is required for the normal operation of Distributor's
business.
(v) Distributor's insolvency or failure to pay monies due ▇▇▇▇▇▇
in accordance with the terms of sale established by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Distributor's
assignment or attempt to assign for the benefit of creditors, the institution
of bankruptcy proceedings by or against Distributor, or the dissolution or
liquidation of Distributor.
(vi) Any disposition of Distributor's business, change of control
or attempt to assign this Agreement in violation of Paragraph 5 or 13 of this
Agreement.
(vii) Distributor's violation of the provisions of Paragraph 2 of
this Agreement.
(viii) Distributor's failure to undertake a good-faith effort to
cure noncompliance pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 7.
(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time
by giving Distributor thirty (30) days' written notice, provided that ▇▇▇▇▇▇
contemporaneously gives such notice to all other Distributors throughout the
United States who have executed this form of Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall incur
no liability to Distributor by reason of such termination. In the event
▇▇▇▇▇▇ exercises its right under this subparagraph and offers other
distributors the right to enter into a new agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall offer
Distributor the right to enter into a new agreement upon substantially
similar terms and conditions.
8. POST-TERMINATION PROVISIONS
In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraphs 6, 7(a),
7(b), or Distributor fails to enter into a new agreement pursuant to
Paragraph 7(c) or to execute an amendment pursuant to Paragraph 15(a), the
following provisions shall apply:
(a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to cancel unfilled orders and to stop or
re-route any shipment enroute to Distributor.
(b) Within ten (10) days after such termination, Distributor shall
return to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ all property belonging to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in Distributor's possession
or control. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be liable to Distributor for any expenses
incurred by Distributor in connection with such property. If Distributor has
placed a deposit with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on any such property, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall refund such
deposit to Distributor or credit an equivalent amount to Distributor's
account when such property is returned in the same condition in which it was
delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to Distributor, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
(c) Within ten (10) days after such termination, Distributor shall sell
and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall purchase Distributor's inventory of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products at a
repurchase price equal to the sum of the following: the net price actually
paid by Distributor to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the inventory, plus the amount of any taxes
paid by Distributor in connection with purchasing the inventory
Page 8 Exhibit 10.6
from ▇▇▇▇▇▇, plus the cost of transporting the inventory from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to
Distributor's warehouse (minus any freight charges that Distributor would
have incurred in returning empty returnable containers to ▇▇▇▇▇▇), plus a
handling charge to be set from time to time by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. In lieu of paying
such repurchase price, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, at its election, credit the equivalent
amount to Distributor's account.
9. TERMS OF SALE
(a) The prices charged by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to Distributor shall be the prices
established by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in effect on the date of shipment. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall inform
Distributor of its prices in writing from time to time, but ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have
the unlimited right to change prices and to establish other terms of sale at
any time.
(b) All sales by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to Distributor shall be on a cash basis or on
such credit terms as ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in its sole discretion, may establish from time

assist Distributor in securing credit. ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ acceptance of any order from
Distributor is subject to the condition that Distributor's account with
▇▇▇▇▇▇ will, on the date fixed for shipment, permit the shipment of such
order in compliance with whatever credit terms ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has established.
Irrespective of any designation by Distributor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, in its sole
discretion, apply, reapply or transfer any payments made by or credit due
Distributor against the oldest item of account or indebtedness owed to
▇▇▇▇▇▇. Regardless of the method of payment, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall retain a security
interest in products and containers delivered to Distributor until ▇▇▇▇▇▇
receives full payment of all monies owed to ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ request,
Distributor shall execute such documents as are necessary to perfect ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
security interest.
(c) All products and containers which are sold to Distributor shall be
sold F.O.B. brewery. If a sight draft ▇▇▇▇ of lading is used, title and risk
of loss shall pass to Distributor when ▇▇▇▇▇▇ delivers the products to the
carrier for shipment to the Distributor.
(d) All kegs and dunnage shall remain the property of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and shall
be returned to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ instructions.

sales, use, personal property, inventory and other taxes that may be assessed
against Distributor on any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products or other ▇▇▇▇▇▇ property in
Distributor's possession at the time such tax is assessed or determined.
Distributor shall also be responsible for any local, state and federal excise
taxes on the shipment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products to Distributor to the extent that
such excise taxes are not included in ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ prices.
10. FINANCIAL PLANNING AND REPORTING
(a) Distributor shall furnish to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ annually within one hundred and
twenty (120) days after the end of Distributor's fiscal year, year-end
operating and financial statements (including income statements and balance
sheets). All such statements shall be truthful and shall be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Page 9 Exhibit 10.6
(b) Distributor shall furnish to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ annually, at a time specified by
▇▇▇▇▇▇, both current and 5-year plans. These plans shall contain such

▇▇▇▇▇▇ may reasonably request. Distributor shall, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ request, meet
with representatives of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to discuss such plans.
(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right, after appropriate notice and at
reasonable intervals, to inspect Distributor's financial, accounting, sales
and inventory records.
(d) Any financial data obtained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to this Paragraph
shall be treated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its employees as confidential information and
shall not be disclosed to any other party without Distributor's written
consent, unless such disclosure is compelled by a court or governmental
agency and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has provided prior written notice of such disclosure to
Distributor.
11. RIGHTS RESERVED TO ▇▇▇▇▇▇
(a) All orders for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products placed by Distributor shall be
subject to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ acceptance. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to specify the
forms and procedures governing the placement of such orders, including, but
not limited to, designation of the source brewery and the routing to be used
for delivery of such orders as are accepted. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is
restricted in the production, sale or delivery of its products by capacity
limitations, acts of governmental authority, strikes or any other cause,
natural or otherwise, beyond ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ control, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be compelled
to honor previously accepted orders, but shall distribute available products
among distributors in a fair and equitable manner.
(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ reserves the unqualified right to manage and conduct its
business in all respects and shall be free at all times to maintain or alter
the formula, ingredients, labelling or packaging of its products; to
determine the prices or other terms on which it sells ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products; to
produce or sell any particular brands; to discontinue the sale of any of its
products, packages or containers in any geographic area; and to make all
other decisions concerning the conduct of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ business.
12. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ TRADE DESIGNATIONS
(a) Distributor hereby acknowledges ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ exclusive ownership and
other rights in the various trademarks, trade names, service marks, trade
dress and other trade designations (collectively "trade designations")

a nonexclusive, non-assignable, non-licensable privilege to use ▇▇▇▇▇▇ trade
designations only in a lawful manner and in connection with the distribution,
advertising, display and sale of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products. This privilege shall
terminate upon termination of this Agreement. Such trade designations shall
be used only in manners, forms and contexts specified or approved in writing
by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ request. Distributor shall change or
discontinue the way in which Distributor uses any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ trade designation.
Distributor agrees that it shall not manufacture or have manufactured any
merchandise bearing such designations without ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ prior written approval.
Page 10 Exhibit 10.6
(b) Distributor agrees to remove all ▇▇▇▇▇▇ trade designations affixed
in any fashion to property owned or controlled by Distributor (including
vehicles, equipment, and office supplies) before leasing, selling or
otherwise transferring such property or control thereof to another person or
before putting such property to any use not connected with the distribution
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products.
(c) Distributor agrees not to use ▇▇▇▇▇▇ trade designations in
Distributor's corporate or business name without ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ prior written
approval. If such approval is given by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Distributor agrees to
discontinue all such use and formally change any such name at its own expense
immediately upon termination of this Agreement.
(d) If Distributor violates any of the provisions of subparagraphs (a),
(b), or (c) of this Paragraph, Distributor shall reimburse ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for all
costs, attorneys' fees, and other expenses incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in any action
for damages or injunctive relief brought pursuant to this Paragraph.
(e) Distributor agrees to notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of any infringements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇
trade designations that Distributor discovers and to assist ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in taking
whatever legal action against such infringement as ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in its sole
discretion, may decide is appropriate. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to bear all expenses
and costs incident to any such action.

previous distributor agreements between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Distributor.
(d) The failure of either ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or Distributor at any time or times to

every such provision.
(e) Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, no person,
including any officer, agent or employee of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, has any authority to
amend, modify, waive, supersede or cancel this Agreement or any terms or

Dear ▇▇▇▇:
This letter will confirm the understanding of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brewing Company and
Delta Beverage Group regarding Paragraph 4.(d)(v) of the Distributor
Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has indefinitely suspended its enforcement of the
requirement in the above cited Paragraph that a distributor's warehouse be
temperature-controlled. Therefore, a failure to maintain a
temperature-controlled warehouse while such requirement is suspended shall
not be construed as a breach of the Distributor Agreement.
Sincerely,
