(a) Supplier warrants Product under normal conditions and circumstances to remain suitable for resale and consumption for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of final Production.

In the event such Product is so determined not to be saleable (hereinafter called “unsaleable”):

1. Crown shall, upon written request from Supplier, be obligated to arrange for the destruction of unsaleable Product and replace the same with saleable Product and may otherwise do so at its option.

2. Supplier shall bear the cost of any such destruction and cost of replacement of such Product at laid-in cost to Crown, to the extent such Product is unsaleable due to a breach of Supplier’s warranty in Section 4.1(a).

3. In the event Supplier requests such destruction and the Product is not unsaleable due to a breach of Supplier’s warranty in Section 4.1(a), then Crown shall bear the cost of such destruction and replacement.

4.2 In the event Product or a Container is damaged in transit after same is delivered FOB the Designated Brewery for a period up to one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of final Production, whether prior to or after the time same leaves Mexico, Crown shall so inform Supplier and shall cooperate with Supplier as to (1) whether the corresponding Product or Container should be destroyed because the damage has rendered the Product or Container unsaleable, and, if so, (2) the time, place and manner of such destruction, provided that Supplier shall indemnify Crown for any losses, costs or expenses incurred by Crown relating to any such destruction not covered by insurance.

4.3 If Crown destroys any Product pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, an authorized officer of Crown shall execute and deliver to Supplier a certificate in the form of Exhibit A certifying as to such destruction, and Supplier shall cooperate with Crown to accomplish any such destruction but, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(b), Crown shall be responsible for all costs of such destruction. In addition, any insurance policy of Crown covering Product shall require the insurer issuing such policy not to take any action inconsistent with the terms of Sections 4.1 and 4.2. Upon obtaining any such insurance policy, Crown shall promptly furnish Supplier with a copy of the same.
