During the 30-day period after ABI’s receipt of the Closing Statement, subject to applicable Law, ABI and its representatives shall be provided with such access to the financial books and records of the Importer as well as any relevant work papers used by each of CBI and Importer and its respective employees, advisors or representatives to prepare the Closing Statement, as well as access to individuals and representatives responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Distribution Amount as it may reasonably request to enable it to evaluate CBI’s calculation of the Distribution Amount; provided, that, if ABI and its employees are not permitted by reason of applicable Law direct access to such books, records or individuals, the parties shall cooperate and work in good faith to agree on appropriate clean room procedures to permit ABI’s representatives to have such access and to share the maximum amount of such information with ABI and its representatives as legally permissible and, if necessary, such 30-day period shall be extended to allow such access. CBI shall, following the Closing through the date the Closing Statement and the Distribution Amount are finally determined in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 2.3(c), take all action reasonably necessary or desirable to

- 11 -

maintain and preserve all books and records, policies and procedures on which the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Distribution Amount contained therein are based so as not to impede or delay the determination of the Distribution Amount, the Closing Statement, the ABI Objection, the Final Closing Statement and the Final Distribution Amount. If no ABI Objection is received by CBI on or before the last day of such 30-day period (as such period may be extended), then the Distribution Amount set forth on the Closing Statement delivered by CBI shall be final and binding upon ABI in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 2.3(c). During the 30 days immediately following the delivery of the ABI Objection, ABI and CBI shall seek to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the ABI Objection.

(c) If CBI and ABI are unable to resolve all their disagreements with respect to the matters set forth in the ABI Objection during the 30 days following CBI’s receipt of the ABI Objection, they shall refer any remaining disagreements to Ernst & Young LLP, or if Ernst & Young LLP is unable to serve in such a capacity, such other reputable internationally-recognized firm of independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to CBI and ABI (Ernst & Young LLP or such other firm, the “CPA Firm”) which, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, shall determine, on the basis set forth in and in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and the definition of Closing Statement and Distribution Amount, whether and to what extent, if any, the Distribution Amount set forth in the Closing Statement requires adjustment. The parties shall instruct the CPA Firm to deliver its written determination to CBI and ABI no later than 30 days after the remaining differences underlying the ABI Objection are referred to the CPA Firm. The CPA Firm’s determination shall be final and binding upon CBI and ABI and their respective Affiliates. If the CPA Firm determines the Distribution Amount set forth in the Closing Statement requires adjustment, its calculation of the Distribution Amount shall not be higher than the amounts advocated by ABI in the ABI Objection nor lower than the amounts advocated by CBI in the Closing Statement. The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be borne equally by CBI and ABI. The parties shall make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective accountants) relating to the Closing Statement and the ABI Objection and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm in connection therewith. The Closing Statement and Distribution Amount that are final and binding on CBI, ABI and their respective Affiliates, as determined either through agreement of CBI and ABI or through the determination of the CPA Firm pursuant to this Section 2.3(c), are referred to herein as the “Final Closing Statement” and the “Final Distribution Amount”. The Final Distribution Amount shall bear interest from the date that the Distribution Amount would have been paid pursuant to the LLC Agreement (in effect as of June 28, 2012) at the rate of 2% per annum.

(d) CBI shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Final Distribution Amount to ABI and Constellation Beers in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in advance by ABI and Constellation Beers no later than the third Business Day after the date that the Final Distribution Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or Section 2.3(c).

5.10 Financial Ability.

The Buyer Parties have delivered to ABI a true, complete and correct copy of the executed definitive Second Amended and Restated Interim Loan Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2013, among Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.

The Buyer Parties have delivered to ABI true, complete and correct copies of the fee letter and engagement letters relating to the Financing Commitment (redacted only as to the matters indicated therein), the

- 19 -

Financing Commitment has not been amended or modified prior to the date of this Agreement, and, as of the date hereof, the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitment have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect. There are no agreements, side letters or arrangements to which CBI or any of its Affiliates is a party relating to the Financing Commitment that could affect the availability of the Financing. The Financing Commitment constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of CBI and, to the Knowledge of CBI, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and by general equitable principles). The Financing Commitment is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn, rescinded or terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect, and no such amendment or modification is contemplated. Neither CBI nor any of its Affiliates is in breach of any of the terms or conditions set forth in the Financing Commitment, and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 and performance by ABI of its obligations under this Agreement and the Brewery SPA, as of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach, default or failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth therein. As of the date hereof, no lender has notified CBI of its intention to terminate the Financing Commitment or not to provide the Financing. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitment. The aggregate proceeds available to be disbursed pursuant to the Financing Commitment, together with available cash on hand and availability under CBI’s existing credit facility, will be sufficient for the Buyer Parties to pay the Purchase Price hereunder and under the Brewery SPA and all related fees and expenses on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Brewery SPA. As of the date hereof, CBI has paid in full any and all commitment or other fees required by the Financing Commitment that are due as of the date hereof. As of the date hereof, the Buyer Parties have no reason to believe that CBI and any of its applicable Affiliates will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any conditions to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, or that the Financing will not be available to CBI on the Closing Date.

5.11 Brokers. No investment banker, broker, agent, finder, advisor, firm or other Person acting on behalf of the Buyers, CBI or any of their respective Affiliates is, or will be, entitled to any commission or broker’s or finder’s fees from ABI, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

ARTICLE 6

ABI GUARANTEE

6.1 Guarantee. (a) To induce CBI to enter into this Agreement, ABI, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to CBI, the Buyers, the Importer and their respective successors or permitted assigns, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (i) the due and punctual performance and observance of, and compliance with, all covenants, agreements, obligations, Liabilities, representations and warranties (A) of Seller Parties hereunder and under or pursuant to the Membership Interest Assignments from and after the date hereof until released pursuant to Section 6.2, (B) of Supplier or any successors or permitted assigns under or pursuant to the Interim Supply Agreement from and after the Closing

- 20 -

until released pursuant to Section 6.2, and (C) of Marcas Modelo or any successors or permitted assigns (including any matter where Marcas Modelo agrees to cause any member of the Modelo Group to take, or not to take, any action (a “Modelo Group Obligor”)) under or pursuant to the Sub-license Agreement from and after the Closing, and (ii) the payment of any Damages incurred by CBI, the Buyers or the Importer or their respective successors and assigns as a consequence of ABI breaching its obligations hereunder pursuant to the terms hereof, Seller not executing the Membership Interest Assignments at Closing, Supplier or any successors or permitted assigns not executing the Interim Supply Agreement at Closing or breaching its obligations thereunder pursuant to the terms thereof or Marcas Modelo or any successors or permitted assigns not executing the Sub-license Agreement at Closing or breaching its obligations thereunder pursuant to the terms thereof (all such obligations and any such Damages being collectively referred to as the “ABI Guaranteed Obligations”). ABI further agrees that the ABI Guaranteed Obligations may be amended, modified, extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any amendment, modification, extension or renewal of any of the ABI Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not any of the foregoing would in any way increase ABI’s obligations hereunder. ABI irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees that its Liability under its guarantee shall be unaffected by, any act, omission, delay or other circumstance or any election of remedies by CBI, the Buyers, the Importer or their respective successors or permitted assigns that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. ABI further agrees that its guarantee is a continuing guarantee of payment and performance of the ABI Guaranteed Obligations when due (whether or not any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Proceeding under applicable Law shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the ABI Guaranteed Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that resort be had by CBI, the Buyers, the Importer or their respective successors or permitted assigns to ABI, Seller, Supplier, or Marcas Modelo or any Modelo Group Obligor, as applicable, for the collection and performance of the ABI Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) The exercise or failure to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or the Interim Supply Agreement or Sub-license Agreement shall not affect, impair or discharge, in whole or in part, the Liability of ABI under this Article 6. Subject to Section 6.2, the obligations of ABI shall not be released, limited or impaired or subject to any defense or setoff, other than a defense that payment or performance has been made by ABI, Seller, Supplier, Marcas Modelo or any Modelo Group Obligor, as applicable, and except for defenses based on a final judicial determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that ABI, Seller, Supplier, Marcas Modelo or any Modelo Group Obligor has a defense to performance based on CBI’s Breach of this Agreement, the Importer’s Breach of the Interim Supply Agreement or Constellation Beers’ Breach of the Sub-license Agreement, as applicable. ABI’s obligations under this Article 6 shall not be affected by any claim by ABI, Seller, Supplier, Marcas Modelo or any Modelo Group Obligor that this Agreement, the Membership Interest Assignment, the Interim Supply Agreement, or the Sub-license Agreement, as applicable, is invalid or unenforceable and any payments required to be made by it hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction, set-off, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. The rights and obligations under this Article 6 shall survive any assignment (i) by ABI made in accordance with Section 14.2, (ii) by Supplier made in accordance with the terms of the Interim Supply Agreement or (iii) by Marcas Modelo made in accordance with the terms of the Sub-license Agreement.

- 21 -

CBI GUARANTEE

7.1 Guarantee. (a) To induce ABI to enter into this Agreement, CBI, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to ABI, Seller, Supplier, Marcas Modelo and their respective successors or permitted assigns, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (i) the due and punctual performance and observance of, and compliance with, all covenants, agreements, obligations, Liabilities, representations and warranties (A) of the Buyers or any successors or permitted assigns hereunder from and after the date hereof until released pursuant to Section 7.2, (B) of Importer or any successors or permitted assigns under or pursuant to the Interim Supply Agreement from and after the Closing until released pursuant to Section 7.2, and (C) of Constellation Beers or any successors or permitted assigns under or pursuant to the Sub-license Agreement from and after the Closing, and (ii) the payment of any Damages incurred by ABI, Seller, Supplier, or Marcas Modelo or their respective successors or permitted assigns as a consequence of a Buyer or any successors or permitted assigns breaching its obligations hereunder pursuant to the terms hereof, Importer or any successors or permitted assigns not executing the Interim Supply Agreement or breaching its obligations thereunder pursuant to the terms thereof, or Constellation Beers or any successors or permitted assigns not executing the Sub-license Agreement at Closing or breaching its

- 22 -

obligations thereunder pursuant to the terms thereof (all such obligations and any such Damages being collectively referred to as the “CBI Guaranteed Obligations”). CBI further agrees that the CBI Guaranteed Obligations may be amended, modified, extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any amendment, modification, extension or renewal of any of the CBI Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not any of the foregoing would in any way increase CBI’s obligations hereunder. CBI irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees that its Liability under its guarantee shall be unaffected by, any act, omission, delay or other circumstance or any election of remedies by ABI, Seller, Supplier, or Marcas Modelo or their respective successors or permitted assigns that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. CBI further agrees that its guarantee is a continuing guarantee of payment and performance of the CBI Guaranteed Obligations when due (whether or not any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Proceeding under applicable Law shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the CBI Guaranteed Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that resort be had by ABI, Seller, Supplier, or Marcas Modelo or their respective successors or permitted assigns to CBI, Buyers or Importer for the collection and performance of the CBI Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) The exercise or failure to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or the Interim Supply Agreement or Sub-license Agreement shall not affect, impair or discharge, in whole or in part, the Liability of CBI under this Article 7. Subject to Section 7.2, the obligations of CBI shall not be released, limited or impaired or subject to any defense or setoff, other than a defense that payment or performance has been made by CBI, Buyers or Importer, as applicable, and except for defenses based on a final judicial determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that a Buyer has a defense to performance based on ABI’s Breach of this Agreement, Supplier’s Breach of the Interim Supply Agreement, or Marcas Modelo’s Breach of the Sub-license Agreement, as applicable. CBI’s obligations under this Article 7 shall not be affected by any claim by CBI, Buyers or Importer that this Agreement, the Interim Supply Agreement, or Sub-license Agreement, as applicable, is invalid or unenforceable and any payments required to be made by it hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction, set-off, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. The rights and obligations of CBI under this Article 7 shall survive any assignment (i) by any Buyer Party made in accordance with Section 14.2, (ii) by Importer made in accordance with the terms of the Interim Supply Agreement or (iii) by Constellation Beers made in accordance with the terms of the Sub-license Agreement.

7.2 Release of Guarantee. CBI agrees that its obligations under this Article 7 shall remain in full force and effect until (i) in the case of Section 7.1(a)(i)(A) and Section 7.1(a)(ii), (A) with respect to the obligations that do not by their terms survive the Closing, the Closing and (B) with respect to the obligations that by their terms survive the Closing, for so long as such obligations survive hereunder in accordance with their terms, and (ii) in the case of Section 7.1(a)(i)(B), the termination of the Interim Supply Agreement; provided, that CBI shall be released from its obligations under this Article 7 concurrently with the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 11; provided, however, that CBI shall not be released from its obligations under this Article 7 so long as any bona fide claim of ABI, the Seller, Supplier, Marcas Modelo or their respective successors or permitted assigns against a Buyer, CBI, Importer or their respective successors or permitted assigns, as applicable, which arises out

- 23 -

of, or relates to, directly or indirectly, this Agreement, the Interim Supply Agreement, the Sub-license Agreement or any other document related herewith or therewith, as applicable, (a) is not settled to the reasonable satisfaction of ABI, Seller, Supplier, or Marcas Modelo or their respective successors or permitted assigns, as applicable, or discharged in full or (b) has not been finally resolved (as such term is defined in Section 12.1). In addition, if at any time, any payment, or part thereof, by CBI, Buyers, Importer or their respective successors or permitted assigns is rescinded or must otherwise be returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of CBI, Buyers, Importer or otherwise, the obligations of CBI under this Article 7 shall continue to be effective or shall be automatically reinstated, all as though such payment had not been made.

The Indemnifying Party shall then be entitled to participate in such action or Proceeding and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of a claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under Section 12.2 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such an action (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law, or any violation of the rights of any Person, by the Indemnified Party and no adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary Damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the Indemnified Party without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that any action may materially and adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary Damages, such Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such action, but the Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle any such action without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent and the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability with respect to any judgment entered in any action so defended, or a compromise or settlement thereof entered into, without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third Party Claim, including by providing access to its relevant business records and other documents, and employees.

12.4 Representation. It is understood and agreed that Xxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP shall not be precluded from representing the Importer after the date hereof as a result of any legal services or advice it may render to the Buyer Parties in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

12.5 Sole Remedy; Drag-Along Right.

(a) Following the Closing, the indemnification provided in this Article 12 shall be the exclusive remedy and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies which the Indemnified Parties may have under this Agreement or otherwise against each other with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby for monetary relief with respect to any Breach of any representation or warranty or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, and each party hereto each expressly waives any and all other rights or causes of

- 33 -

action it or its Affiliates may have against the other party or its Affiliates now or in the future under any Law with respect to the subject matter hereof, except in either case for fraud of the other party, the parties’ rights to seek specific performance in accordance with Section 14.13, or enforcement of the guarantees in Articles 6 and 7.

(b) If (i) the Buyer Parties fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder when all conditions precedent set forth in Section 10.2 to the Buyer Parties’ obligations to close hereunder have been satisfied or waived, or if all conditions to obligations of the Buyer Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder would have been satisfied but for a Breach of this Agreement by a Buyer Party, or (ii) CBI fails to consummate the Brewery Transaction when all conditions precedent set forth in Article 6 of the Brewery SPA to CBI’s obligation to close thereunder have been satisfied or waived, or if all conditions to the obligation of CBI to consummate the Brewery Transaction would have been satisfied but for a Breach of the Brewery SPA by CBI, then the Seller Parties shall be entitled to: (x) solicit, encourage or initiate negotiations and discussions in good faith with bona fide third parties pursuant to arm’s length discussions and negotiations with respect to the sale or transfer of one hundred percent (100%) of the LLC Interests of the Importer (the “Entire Importer Interest”), and (y) pursuant to such discussions and negotiations, enter into an agreement to sell to one or more Persons (the “Alternative Purchaser”) the Entire Importer Interest for cash, without any limitation and without requiring the approval of or notice to any Buyer Party or its Affiliates, including any approval of any Buyer Party or its Affiliates that may be required pursuant to the LLC Agreement, which approval, if any, is hereby granted by the Buyer Parties and their Affiliates, and the Buyer Parties shall be required to sell the fifty percent (50%) of the LLC Interests of the Importer Constellation Beers and its Affiliates currently own (the “CBI Interest”) to the Alternative Purchaser in accordance with the following and to enter into any agreements reasonably required to effectuate such sale (the “Drag-Along Right”):

(i) If the Seller Parties determine to sell the Entire Importer Interest to the Alternative Purchaser pursuant to a sale under this Section 12.5(b) (such a sale, a “Participatory Transaction”), then upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice from the Seller Parties (the “Drag-Along Notice”), which notice shall include, in reasonable detail, the terms and conditions of the Participatory Transaction, including the time and place of closing and the aggregate purchase price for the Entire Importer Interest, the Buyer Parties shall be obligated to, and shall, on the same terms and conditions specified in the Drag-Along Notice, sell, transfer and deliver, or cause to be sold, transferred and delivered, to the Alternative Purchaser, the CBI Interest in the same transaction at the closing of the Participatory Transaction (and will deliver certificates or assignments for the CBI Interest at such closing, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances subject to customary exceptions); provided that, the Buyer Parties shall only be required to make representations and warranties relating to due organization of Buyer Parties, brokers, non-contravention, title and ownership of, and authority to sell the CBI Interest and shall only be required to provide indemnification to the Alternative Purchaser (which shall be capped at the net cash proceeds received by the Buyer Parties in the transaction and shall be on a pro rata basis with the Seller Parties’ indemnification obligations and subject to any limitations on the Seller Parties’ obligations to indemnify the Alternative Purchaser (including any caps on indemnification obligations)) for breaches of such representations and warranties and any covenants that both the Seller Parties and the

- 34 -

Buyer Parties are required to make. For the avoidance of doubt, ABI shall obtain from Seller any consent or approval required under Importer’s organizational documents to consummate a Participatory Transaction and the effectiveness of the grant of the Drag-Along Right granted to the Seller Parties pursuant to this Section 12.5(b) (and any exercise thereof) is contingent upon CBI’s receipt of any such consent or approval from Seller.

(ii) In determining the terms and conditions of the Participatory Transaction for purposes of this Section 12.5(b), the Seller Parties shall act in good faith in determining such terms and conditions and will not include terms that the Buyer Parties could not lawfully accept, or include any non-compete (or similar restriction on the ability of any Buyer Party or its Affiliates to operate or compete) or requirement on the part of any Buyer Party to accept any restrictions or conditions on the business of any such Buyer Party in order to obtain consents of Governmental Authorities other than with respect to the CBI Interest (the “Restrictive Terms”). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12.5(b), if the Seller Parties determine to consummate a Participatory Transaction with Restrictive Terms, the Seller shall purchase from Constellation Beers, and Constellation Beers shall sell to the Seller, the CBI Interest as Constellation Beers otherwise would have transferred in such Participatory Transaction had such Participatory Transaction not included the Restrictive Terms; provided that the Seller Parties shall hold the Entire Importer Interest (i) solely for the purposes of facilitating a sale to an Alternative Purchaser and (ii) for that period of time necessary to effect the transfer of the Entire Importer Interest to such Alternative Purchaser.

(iii) In any Participatory Transaction contemplated by this Section 12.5(b), CBI shall receive, in exchange for the CBI Interest, (x) Participatory Transaction Amount, minus (y) $375,000,000, and ABI shall pay such amount to CBI on the closing date of the sale of the Entire Importer Interest to the Alternative Purchaser in the Participatory Transaction or such other times specified in the definitive agreement providing for such Participatory Transaction if the Seller Parties are also required their pro rata portion of the proceeds from such Participatory Transaction at such times.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Parties shall be entitled to the Drag-Along Right if CBI fails to acquire the Importer Interest or if CBI fails to consummate the Brewery Transaction.

12.6 Adjustments to Losses.

(a) In calculating the amount of any loss, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, in each case relating to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.2, net of any actual costs or expenses incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, shall be deducted, except to the extent that the adjustment itself would excuse, exclude or limit the coverage of all or part of such loss. In the event that an Indemnified Party has any rights against a third party with respect to any occurrence, claim or loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article 12, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such

- 35 -

payment; provided that until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of the loss related to any such claim, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims.

(b) If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of a loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 12, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such loss, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of loss.

(c) Indemnified losses to any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be determined net of the amount of any Tax benefit actually recognized in cash by the Indemnified Party in connection with such indemnified loss or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto.

12.7 Consequential Damages. Subject to the next sentence of this Section 12.7, no Person shall be liable under this Article 12 for any consequential, punitive, special, incidental or indirect Damages, including lost profits and diminution in value, except to the extent awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including the second sentence of Section 2.1 and Section 12.5, the restriction in the preceding sentence on the right of a party hereunder to recover consequential, punitive, special, incidental and indirect Damages, including lost profits and diminution in value, shall not apply where the Seller Parties fail to sell all of the Importer Interest to the Buyers after all conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the Seller Parties’ obligations to sell the Importer Interest to the Buyers hereunder have been satisfied or waived.

12.8 Accuracy and Compliance. The right to indemnification or other remedy based on any representations, warranties, obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents, will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any notice or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date hereof or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

ARTICLE 13

14.5 Counterparts and Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or Proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims relating to such action, Proceeding or transactions shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware State or Federal court.

- 40 -

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM AGAINST THE FINANCING SOURCES UNDER THE FINANCING COMMITMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14.12.

14.13 Specific Performance.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby agree that (i) the Importer Interest is a unique property, and (ii) irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached, and that monetary Damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any failure to purchase or sell the Importer Interest or consummate the Brewery Transaction or for any such Damages. Accordingly, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.5 and Section 12.7, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any Breach or threatened Breach by ABI, on the one hand, or the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, ABI, on the one hand, and the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies available under Law or equity, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain Breaches or threatened Breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other (as applicable) under this Agreement, and this right shall include the right of ABI to cause CBI to fully enforce the terms of the Financing Commitment, including by requiring CBI to file one or more lawsuits against the lenders party to the Financing Commitment to fully enforce the obligations of such lenders under the Financing Commitment, as well as the right of CBI to cause ABI to cause the Importer Interest to be transferred to Constellation Beers and CBBH upon satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to Seller Parties’ obligation to transfer such Importer Interest to Constellation Beers and CBBH.

(b) Each of ABI, on the one hand, and the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain Breaches or threatened Breaches of this Agreement by ABI or the Buyer Parties, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the

- 41 -

covenants and obligations of ABI or the Buyer Parties, as applicable, under this Agreement. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such Order or injunction. Subject to Section 12.5 and Section 12.7, the parties hereto further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 14.13, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement (including monetary Damages) and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 14.13 shall require any party hereto to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 14.13 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 11 (and pursuing Damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal Proceeding pursuant to this Section 14.13 or anything set forth in this Section 14.13 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 11 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that ABI may pursue both a grant of specific performance and the Drag-Along Right, provided that ABI shall not be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and to consummate a Participatory Transaction. Unless the Closing has occurred, ABI’s right to specific performance contained in Section 14.13 and its rights pursuant to the Drag-Along Right in Section 12.5(b) shall be its sole and exclusive remedy for any Breach or threatened Breach of this Agreement by the Buyer Parties.

14.14 Obligations of ABI and Seller. Whenever this Agreement requires Seller to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of ABI to use reasonable best efforts to cause Seller to take such action (it being understood that ABI shall have no obligation to actually cause Seller to take any action or refrain from taking any action hereunder unless and until the GM Transaction Closing has occurred).

14.15 Adjustments to Transactions. The parties hereto acknowledge that it may become necessary or advisable after the date of this Agreement to adjust or modify the structure of the various transactions described in this Agreement and, subject to Section 9.1, agree to cooperate in good faith in order to preserve the economic benefits reasonably expected to be achieved by each of the parties hereto and to consider and, to the extent mutually agreed, effectuate the adjustments or modifications reasonably requested by any other party by amending the terms of this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents; provided that, subject to Section 9.1, no such adjustment or modification shall, in any material respect, adversely affect the rights and obligations of any party under this Agreement or disadvantage any party, or reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and further provided that, subject to Section 9.1, ABI shall have the right to amend any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document with the consent of the Buyer Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed and understood that: (a) it would be unreasonable for the Buyer Parties to withhold, delay or condition their consent if any such amendment is beneficial, or not adverse in any respect, to the rights and obligations of the Buyer Parties hereunder or thereunder; (b) if any of the Seller Parties, Supplier or Marcas Modelo relinquishes any right it may have against the Buyer Parties or the Importer hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, as applicable, or if the economics of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction

- 42 -

Documents, as applicable, are modified or supplemented to the benefit of the Buyer Parties or the Importer, as applicable, such changes to this Agreement or such other Transaction Document shall be considered as beneficial, and not adverse, to the rights and obligations of the Buyer Parties or the Importer, as applicable, hereunder or under such other Transaction Document; and (c) it would be reasonable for the Buyer Parties to withhold, delay or condition their consent if any such amendment would be materially adverse to the lenders and other Persons providing the Financing). For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any conflict between the terms of this Section 14.15 and the terms of Section 9.1, the terms of Section 9.1 shall govern.

14.16 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 14.3(b), the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate. If, for any reason, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

14.17 References to the Original Purchase Agreement. After giving effect to this Agreement, each reference in the Original Purchase Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “herein” or words of like import referring to the Original Purchase Agreement shall refer to this Agreement.
