Commercial Paper Dealer Agreement

4(a)(2) Program

This Commercial Paper Dealer Agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the understandings among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Dealer, each named on the cover page hereof, in connection with the issuance and sale by the Issuer of its short-term promissory notes (the “Notes”) through the Dealer.

The Guarantors have each agreed to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee payment in full of the principal of and interest (if any) on the Notes, pursuant to guarantees, dated the date hereof, each in the form of Exhibit D hereto (collectively, the “Guarantee”).

Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 6 hereof.

The Addendum to this Agreement, and any Annexes or Exhibits described in this Agreement or such Addendum, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and made fully a part hereof.

1.             Offers, Sales and Resales of Notes.

1.1          While (i) the Issuer has and shall have no obligation to sell the Notes to the Dealer or to permit the Dealer to arrange any sale of the Notes for the account of the Issuer, and (ii) the Dealer has and shall have no obligation to purchase the Notes from the Issuer or to arrange any sale of the Notes for the account of the Issuer, the parties hereto agree that in any case where the Dealer purchases Notes from the Issuer, or arranges for the sale of Notes by the Issuer, such Notes will be purchased or sold by the Dealer in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer and the Guarantors contained herein or made pursuant hereto and on the terms and conditions and in the manner provided herein.

1.2          So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, and in addition to the limitations contained in Section 1.7 hereof, neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors shall, without the consent of the Dealer, offer, solicit or accept offers to purchase, or sell, any Notes except (a) in transactions with one or more dealers which may from time to time after the date hereof become dealers with respect to the Notes by executing with the Issuer and the Guarantors one or more agreements which contain provisions substantially identical to those contained in Section 1 of this Agreement, of which the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby undertake to provide the Dealer prompt notice or (b) in transactions with the other dealers listed on the Addendum hereto, which are executing agreements with the Issuer and the Guarantors which contain provisions substantially identical to Section 1 of this Agreement contemporaneously herewith.  In no event shall the Issuer or any of the Guarantors offer, solicit or accept offers to purchase, or sell, any Notes directly on its own behalf in transactions with persons other than broker-dealers as specifically permitted in this Section 1.2.

1.3          The Notes shall be in a minimum denomination of $250,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will bear such interest rates, if interest bearing, or will be sold at such discount from their face amounts, as shall be agreed upon by the Dealer and the Issuer, shall have a maturity not exceeding 397 days from the date of issuance and may have such terms as are specified in Exhibit C hereto or the Private Placement Memorandum.  The Notes shall not contain any provision for extension, renewal or automatic “rollover.”

1.4          The authentication and issuance of, and payment for, the Notes shall be effected in accordance with the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, and the Notes shall be either individual physical certificates or book-entry notes evidenced by one or more Master Notes, in the form or forms annexed to the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement.

1.5          If the Issuer and the Dealer shall agree on the terms of the purchase of any Note by the Dealer or the sale of any Note arranged by the Dealer (including, but not limited to, agreement with respect to the date of issue, purchase price, principal amount, maturity and interest rate or interest rate index and margin (in the case of interest-bearing Notes) or discount thereof (in the case of Notes issued on a discount basis), and appropriate compensation for the Dealer’s services hereunder) pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer shall cause such Note to be issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement and payment for such Note shall be made by the purchaser thereof, either directly or through the Dealer, to the Issuing and Paying Agent, for the account of the Issuer.  Except as otherwise agreed, in the event that the Dealer is acting as an agent and a purchaser shall either fail to accept delivery of or make payment for a Note on the date fixed for settlement, the Dealer shall promptly notify the Issuer, and if the Dealer has theretofore paid the Issuer for the Note, the Issuer will promptly return such funds to the Dealer against its return of the Note to the Issuer, in the case of a certificated Note, and upon notice of such failure in the case of a book-entry Note.  If such failure occurred for any reason other than default by the Dealer, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Dealer on an equitable basis for the Dealer’s loss of the use of such funds for the period such funds were credited to the Issuer’s account.

1.6          The Dealer, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby establish and agree to observe the following procedures in connection with offers, sales and subsequent resales or other transfers of the Notes:

(a)           Offers and sales of the Notes by or through the Dealer shall be made only to: (i) investors reasonably believed by the Dealer to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or Institutional Accredited Investors and (ii) non-bank fiduciaries or agents that will be purchasing Notes for one or more accounts, each of which is reasonably believed by the Dealer to be an Institutional Accredited Investor.

(b)           Resales and other transfers of the Notes by the holders thereof shall be made only in accordance with the restrictions in the legend described in clause (e) below.

(c)           No general solicitation or general advertising shall be used in connection with the offering of the Notes.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the prior written approval of the Dealer, neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors shall issue any press release, make any other statement to any member of the press making reference to the Notes, the offer or sale of the Notes or this Agreement or place or publish any “tombstone” or other advertisement relating to the Notes or the offer or sale thereof.  To the extent permitted by applicable securities laws, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall (i) omit the name of the Dealer from any publicly available filing by the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, that makes reference to the Notes, the offer or sale of the Notes or this Agreement, (ii) not include a copy of this Agreement in any such filing or as an exhibit thereto and (iii) redact the Dealer’s name and any contact or

other information that could identify the Dealer from any agreement or other information included in such filing.

(d)           No sale of Notes to any one purchaser shall be for less than $250,000 principal or face amount, and no Note shall be issued in a smaller principal or face amount.  If the purchaser is a non-bank fiduciary acting on behalf of others, each person for whom such purchaser is acting must purchase at least $250,000 principal or face amount of Notes.

(e)           Offers and sales of the Notes shall be subject to the restrictions described in the legend appearing in Exhibit A hereto.  A legend substantially to the effect of such Exhibit A shall appear as part of the Private Placement Memorandum used in connection with offers and sales of Notes hereunder, as well as on each individual certificate representing a Note and each Master Note representing book-entry Notes offered and sold pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)            The Dealer shall make available to each purchaser of Notes for which it has acted as the dealer a copy of the then-current Private Placement Memorandum unless such purchaser has previously had made available to it a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum as then in effect.  The Private Placement Memorandum shall expressly state that any person to whom Notes are offered shall have an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive information from, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Dealer and shall provide the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the persons from whom information regarding the Issuer and the Guarantors may be obtained.

(g)           The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree for the benefit of the Dealer and each of the holders and prospective purchasers from time to time of the Notes that, if at any time the Issuer or any of the Guarantors shall not be subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer or such Guarantor(s) will furnish, upon request and at their expense, to the Dealer and to holders and prospective purchasers of Notes information required by Rule 144A(d)(4)(i) in compliance with Rule 144A(d).

(h)           In the event that any Note offered or to be offered by the Dealer would be ineligible for resale under Rule 144A, the Issuer shall immediately notify the Dealer (by telephone, confirmed in writing) of such fact and shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Dealer an amendment or supplement to the Private Placement Memorandum describing the Notes that are ineligible, the reason for such ineligibility and any other relevant information relating thereto.

(i)            The Issuer and the Guarantors represent that neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors are currently issuing commercial paper in the United States market in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree that, if the Issuer or any of the Guarantors shall issue commercial paper after the date hereof in reliance upon such exemption (a) the proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be segregated from the proceeds of the sale of any such commercial paper by being placed in a separate account; (b) the Issuer and the Guarantors will institute appropriate corporate procedures to ensure that the offers and sales of notes issued by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, as the case may be, pursuant to the Section 3(a)(3) exemption are not integrated with offerings and sales of Notes

hereunder; and (c) the Issuer and each applicable Guarantor will comply with each of the requirements of Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act in selling commercial paper or other short-term debt securities other than the Notes in the United States.

1.7          Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby represents and warrants to the Dealer, in connection with offers, sales and resales of Notes, as follows:

(a)           The Issuer and the Guarantors hereby confirm to the Dealer that (except as permitted by Section 1.6(i)) within the preceding six months neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors nor any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof acting on behalf of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors has offered or sold any Notes, or any substantially similar security of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including, without limitation, medium-term notes issued by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors), to, or solicited offers to buy any such security from, any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof.  The Issuer and the Guarantors also agree that (except as permitted by Section 1.6(i)), as long as the Notes are being offered for sale by the Dealer and the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof as contemplated hereby and until at least six months after the offer of Notes hereunder has been terminated, neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors nor any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof (except as contemplated by Section 1.2 hereof) will offer the Notes or any substantially similar security of the Issuer for sale to, or solicit offers to buy any such security from, any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof, it being understood that such agreement is made with a view to bringing the offer and sale of the Notes within the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  Each of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors hereby represents and warrants that it has not taken or omitted to take, and will not take or omit to take, any action that would cause the offering and sale of Notes hereunder to be integrated with any other offering of securities, whether such offering is made by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or some other party or parties.

(b)           The Issuer represents and agrees that the proceeds of the sale of the Notes are not currently contemplated to be used for the purpose of buying, carrying or trading securities within the meaning of Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  In the event that the Issuer determines to use such proceeds for the purpose of buying, carrying or trading securities, whether in connection with an acquisition of another company or otherwise, the Issuer shall give the Dealer at least five business days’ prior written notice to that effect.  The Issuer shall also give the Dealer prompt notice of the actual date that it commences to purchase securities with the proceeds of the Notes.  Thereafter, in the event that the Dealer purchases Notes as principal and does not resell such Notes on the day of such purchase, to the extent necessary to comply with Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder, the Dealer will sell such Notes either (i) only to offerees it reasonably believes to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or to Qualified Institutional Buyers it reasonably believes are acting for other Qualified Institutional Buyers, in each case in accordance with Rule 144A or (ii) in a manner which would not cause a violation of Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder.

2.             Representations and Warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors.

Each of the Issuer and each Guarantor represents and warrants as to itself (and, in the case of a Guarantor, each other Guarantor which is a subsidiary of such first Guarantor) that:

2.4          The Notes have been duly authorized, and when issued as provided in the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, will be duly and validly issued and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

2.9          Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Guarantee, and the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, nor the issuance of the Notes in accordance with the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof by the Issuer or the Guarantors, will (i) result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, or (ii) violate or result in a breach or a default under any of the terms of the charter documents or by-laws of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, any contract or instrument to which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which it or its property is bound, or any law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or government instrumentality, to which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors is subject or by which it or its property is bound, which breach or default would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), operations or business prospects of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or the ability of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantee or the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement.

2.10        Except as disclosed in the Company Information, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of the Issuer or the Guarantors threatened, against or affecting the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or any of its subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), operations or business prospects of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or the ability of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantee or the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement.

2.14        To the extent that such Guarantor or any subsidiary Guarantor is organized outside of the United States, under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, neither such Guarantor nor any such subsidiary Guarantor nor any of its revenues, assets or properties has any right of immunity from service of process or from the jurisdiction of competent courts of the jurisdiction of its organization or the United States or the State of New York in connection with any suit, action or proceeding, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment or execution of a judgment or from any other legal process with respect to its obligations under this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee or the Notes.

2.16        To the extent that such Guarantor or any subsidiary Guarantor is organized outside of the United States, the choice of New York law to govern this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee and the Notes is, under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, a valid, effective and irrevocable choice of law, and the submission by such Guarantor and any such subsidiary Guarantor in Section 7.3(b) of this Agreement to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States District Court and the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan is valid and binding upon such Guarantor and any such subsidiary Guarantor under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.

2.17        To the extent that such Guarantor or any subsidiary Guarantor is organized outside of the United States, any final judgment rendered by a competent court of the United States or the State of New York in an action to enforce the obligations of such Guarantor or any such subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee or the Notes is capable of being enforced in the courts of the jurisdiction of its organization.

2.18        To the extent that such Guarantor or any subsidiary Guarantor is organized outside of the United States, as a condition to the admissibility in evidence of this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee or the Notes in the courts of the jurisdiction of its organization, it is not necessary that this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee or the Notes be filed or recorded with any court or other authority.  All documentary evidence to be submitted to a court in the jurisdiction of its organization must be in, or translated into, the language of the jurisdiction of its organization and certified by a duly qualified official translator in the jurisdiction of its organization.

Each of the Issuer and each Guarantor covenants and agrees as to itself (and, in the case of a Guarantor, each other Guarantor which is a subsidiary of such first Guarantor) that:

3.1          The Issuer and each Guarantor will give the Dealer prompt notice (but in any event prior to any subsequent issuance of Notes hereunder) of any amendment to, modification

of or waiver with respect to, the Notes, the Guarantee or the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, including a complete copy of any such amendment, modification or waiver.

3.2          The Issuer and each Guarantor shall, whenever there shall occur any change in the condition (financial or otherwise), operations or business prospects of the Issuer or such Guarantor or any development or occurrence in relation to the Issuer or such Guarantor that would be material to holders of the Notes or potential holders of the Notes (including any downgrading or receipt of any notice of intended or potential downgrading or any review for potential change in the rating accorded any of the securities of the Issuer or such Guarantor by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization which has published a rating of the Notes), promptly, and in any event prior to any subsequent issuance of Notes hereunder, notify the Dealer (by telephone, confirmed in writing) of such change, development, or occurrence.

3.3          The Issuer and each Guarantor shall from time to time furnish to the Dealer such information as the Dealer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, any press releases or material provided by the Issuer or such Guarantor to any national securities exchange or rating agency, regarding (i) the operations and financial condition of the Issuer or such Guarantor, (ii) the due authorization and execution of the Notes and the Guarantee, (iii) the Issuer’s ability to pay the Notes as they mature and (iv) such Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the Guarantee.

3.4          The Issuer and each Guarantor will take all such action as the Dealer may reasonably request to ensure that each offer and each sale of the Notes will comply with any applicable state Blue Sky laws; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor such Guarantor shall be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

3.5          Neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors will be in default of any of their respective obligations hereunder, under the Notes, under the Guarantee or under the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, at any time that any of the Notes are outstanding.

3.6          The Issuer shall not issue Notes hereunder until the Dealer shall have received (a) opinions of counsel to the Issuer and each of the U.S. Guarantors, addressed to the Dealer, satisfactory in form and substance to the Dealer, (b) a copy of the executed Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement as then in effect, (c) a copy of the executed Guarantee, (d) a copy of resolutions adopted by the Boards of Directors of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors, satisfactory in form and substance to the Dealer and certified by the Secretary or similar officer of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, authorizing execution and delivery by the Issuer and such Guarantor of this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee and the Notes and consummation by the Issuer and such Guarantor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (e) prior to the issuance of any book-entry Notes represented by a Master Note, a copy of the executed Letter of Representations among the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Issuing and Paying Agent and DTC and of the executed Master Note, (f) prior to the issuance of any Notes in physical form, a copy of such form (unless attached to this Agreement or the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement) and (g) such other certificates, opinions, letters and documents as the Dealer shall have reasonably requested.

3.7          The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Dealer for all of the Dealer’s out-of-pocket expenses related to this Agreement, including expenses

incurred in connection with its preparation and negotiation, and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, but not limited to, the printing and distribution of the Private Placement Memorandum), and, if applicable, for up to $10,000, in the aggregate, of the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the dealers’ respective counsels.

3.8          Without limiting any obligation of the Issuer or the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement to provide the Dealer with credit and financial information, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Dealer may share the Company Information and any other information or matters relating to the Issuer, the Guarantors or the transactions contemplated hereby with affiliates of the Dealer and that such affiliates may likewise share information relating to the Issuer, the Guarantors or such transactions with the Dealer.

3.9          Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall file a Form D (as referenced in Rule 503 under the Securities Act) at any time in respect of the offer or sale of the Notes.

4.             Disclosure.

4.1          The Private Placement Memorandum and its contents (other than the Dealer Information) shall be the sole responsibility of the Issuer and the Guarantors.  The Private Placement Memorandum shall contain a statement expressly offering an opportunity for each prospective purchaser to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Issuer and the Guarantors concerning the offering of Notes and to obtain relevant additional information which the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense.

4.2          Each of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors agrees to promptly furnish the Dealer the Company Information as it becomes available.

4.3          Each of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors further agrees that:

(a)           The Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall notify the Dealer promptly upon the occurrence of any event relating to or affecting the Issuer or such Guarantor that would cause the Company Information then in existence to include an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(b)           In the event that the Issuer or a Guarantor gives the Dealer notice pursuant to Section 4.3(a) and the Dealer notifies the Issuer or such Guarantor that it then has Notes it is holding in inventory, the Issuer and such Guarantor shall promptly supplement or amend the Private Placement Memorandum so that the Private Placement Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Issuer and such Guarantor shall make such supplement or amendment available to the Dealer.

(c)           In the event that (i) the Issuer or a Guarantor gives the Dealer notice pursuant to Section 4.3(a), (ii) the Dealer does not notify the Issuer or such Guarantor that it is then holding Notes in inventory and (iii) the Issuer and such Guarantor choose

not to promptly amend or supplement the Private Placement Memorandum in the manner described in clause (b) above, then all solicitations and sales of Notes shall be suspended until such time as the Issuer and such Guarantor have so amended or supplemented the Private Placement Memorandum, and made such amendment or supplement available to the Dealer.

(d)                                 Without limiting the generality of Section 4.3(a), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall review, amend and supplement the Private Placement Memorandum on a periodic basis, but no less than at least once annually, to incorporate current financial information of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the extent necessary to ensure that the information provided in the Private Placement Memorandum is accurate and complete in all material respects.

5.                                      Indemnification and Contribution.

5.1                               The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer, each individual, corporation, partnership, trust, association or other entity controlling the Dealer, any affiliate of the Dealer or any such controlling entity and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, incorporators, shareholders, servants, trustees and agents (hereinafter the “Indemnitees”) against any and all liabilities, penalties, suits, causes of action, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) or judgments of whatever kind or nature (each a “Claim”), imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees arising out of or based upon (i) any allegation that the Private Placement Memorandum, the Company Information or any information provided by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors to the Dealer included (as of any relevant time) or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted (as of any relevant time) or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii) the breach by the Issuer or a Guarantor of any agreement, covenant or representation made in or pursuant to this Agreement.  This indemnification shall not apply to the extent that the Claim arises out of or is based upon Dealer Information.

5.2                               Provisions relating to claims made for indemnification under this Section 5 are set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement.

5.3                               In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is held to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Indemnitees, although applicable in accordance with the terms of this Section 5, the Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the aggregate costs incurred by the Dealer in connection with any Claim in the proportion of the respective economic interests of the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand and the Dealer, on the other hand; provided, however, that such contribution by the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be in an aggregate amount such that the aggregate costs incurred by the Dealer do not exceed the aggregate of the commissions and fees earned by the Dealer hereunder with respect to the issue or issues of Notes to which such Claim relates.  The respective economic interests shall be calculated by reference to the aggregate proceeds to the Issuer of the Notes issued hereunder and the aggregate commissions and fees earned by the Dealer hereunder.

the Issuer, any of the Guarantors, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions shall be performed solely for the benefit of the Dealer and shall not be on behalf of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors.  This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Issuer, any of the Guarantors and the Dealer (or any of them) with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Each of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Dealer with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.

Exhibit B

Further Provisions Relating to Indemnification

(a)                                 The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse each Indemnitee for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of external counsel) as they are incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 5 of the Agreement (whether or not it is a party to any such proceedings).

(b)                                 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the existence of a Claim, such Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Issuer or the Guarantors, notify the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing of the existence thereof; provided that (i) the omission to so notify the Issuer or any of the Guarantors will not relieve it from any liability which it may have hereunder unless and except to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such Claim and such failure results in the forfeiture by the Issuer or the Guarantors of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii) the omission to so notify the Issuer or any of the Guarantors will not relieve it from liability which it may have to an Indemnitee otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement.  In case any such Claim is made against any Indemnitee and it notifies the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of the existence thereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnitee, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee; provided that if the defendants in any such Claim include both the Indemnitee and either the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, or both, and the Indemnitee shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors shall have the right to direct the defense of such Claim on behalf of such Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses on behalf of such Indemnitee.  Upon receipt of notice from the Issuer to such Indemnitee of the election of the Issuer and the Guarantors to assume the defense of such Claim and approval by the Indemnitee of counsel, the Issuer and the Guarantors will not be liable to such Indemnitee for expenses incurred thereafter by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) the Indemnitee shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors shall be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel in the jurisdiction in which any Claim is brought), approved by the Dealer, representing the Indemnitee who is party to such Claim), (ii) the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice of existence of the Claim or (iii) the Issuer or the Guarantors has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the Indemnitee.  The indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder shall be in addition to any other liability the Issuer or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have to an Indemnitee and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Issuer, the Guarantors and any Indemnitee.  Each of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors agrees that without the Dealer’s prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought under the indemnification provision of the Agreement (whether or not the Dealer or any other Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such Claim), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee

from all liability arising out of such Claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnitee.

Exhibit C

Statement of Terms for Interest-Bearing Commercial Paper Notes of
Molson Coors Brewing Company

THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH BELOW ARE QUALIFIED TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE BY THE TRANSACTION SPECIFIC PRICING SUPPLEMENT (THE “SUPPLEMENT”) (IF ANY) SENT TO EACH PURCHASER AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSACTION.

1. General. (a) The obligations of the Issuer to which these terms apply (each a “Note”) are represented by one or more master notes issued in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee (each, a “Master Note”) which include the terms and provisions for the Issuer’s Interest-Bearing Commercial Paper Notes that are set forth in this Statement of Terms, since this Statement of Terms constitutes an integral part of the Underlying Records as defined and referred to in each Master Note.

(b) “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, executive order or regulation to be closed in New York City and, with respect to LIBOR Notes (as defined below) is also a London Business Day. “London Business Day” means, a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

2. Interest. (a) Each Note will bear interest at a fixed rate (a “Fixed Rate Note”) or at a floating rate (a “Floating Rate Note”).

(b) The Supplement sent to each holder of such Note will describe the following terms: (i) whether such Note is a Fixed Rate Note or a Floating Rate Note and whether such Note is an Original Issue Discount Note (as defined below); (ii) the date on which such Note will be issued (the “Issue Date”); (iii) the Stated Maturity Date (as defined below); (iv) if such Note is a Fixed Rate Note, the rate per annum at which such Note will bear interest, if any, and the Interest Payment Dates; (v) if such Note is a Floating Rate Note, the Base Rate, the Index Maturity, the Interest Reset Dates, the Interest Payment Dates and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any (all as defined below), and any other terms relating to the particular method of calculating the interest rate for such Note; and (vi) any other terms applicable specifically to such Note. “Original Issue Discount Note” means a Note which has a stated redemption price at the Stated Maturity Date that exceeds its Issue Price by more than a specified de minimis amount and which the Supplement indicates will be an “Original Issue Discount Note”.

(c) Each Fixed Rate Note will bear interest from its Issue Date at the rate per annum specified in the Supplement until the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on each Fixed Rate Note will be payable on the dates specified in the Supplement (each an “Interest Payment Date” for a Fixed Rate Note) and on the Maturity Date (as defined below). Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date of a Fixed Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest will be

payable on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.

(d) The interest rate on each Floating Rate Note for each Interest Reset Period (as defined below) will be determined by reference to an interest rate basis (a “Base Rate”) plus or minus a number of basis points (one basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point) (the “Spread”), if any, and/or multiplied by a certain percentage (the “Spread Multiplier”), if any, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. The Supplement will designate which of the following Base Rates is applicable to the related Floating Rate Note: (a) the CD Rate (a “CD Rate Note”), (b) the Commercial Paper Rate (a “Commercial Paper Rate Note”), (c) the Federal Funds Rate (a “Federal Funds Rate Note”), (d) LIBOR (a “LIBOR Note”), (e) the Prime Rate (a “Prime Rate Note”), (f) the Treasury Rate (a “Treasury Rate Note”) or (g) such other Base Rate as may be specified in such Supplement.

The rate of interest on each Floating Rate Note will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually (the “Interest Reset Period”). The date or dates on which interest will be reset (each an “Interest Reset Date”) will be, unless otherwise specified in the Supplement, in the case of Floating Rate Notes which reset daily, each Business Day, in the case of Floating Rate Notes (other than Treasury Rate Notes) that reset weekly, the Wednesday of each week; in the case of Treasury Rate Notes that reset weekly, the Tuesday of each week; in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December; and in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the Supplement. If any Interest Reset Date for any Floating Rate Note is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Interest on each Floating Rate Note will be payable monthly, quarterly or semiannually (the “Interest Payment Period”) and on the Maturity Date. Unless otherwise specified in the Supplement, and except as provided below, the date or dates on which interest will be payable (each an “Interest Payment Date” for a Floating Rate Note) will be, in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a monthly Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of each month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a quarterly Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December; and in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a semiannual Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the Supplement. In addition, the Maturity Date will also be an Interest Payment Date.

If any Interest Payment Date for any Floating Rate Note (other than an Interest Payment Date occurring on the Maturity Date) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date of a Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such maturity.

Interest payments on each Interest Payment Date for Floating Rate Notes will include accrued interest from and including the Issue Date or from and including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date. On the Maturity Date, the interest payable on a Floating Rate Note will include interest accrued to, but

excluding, the Maturity Date. Accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of a Floating Rate Note by an accrued interest factor. This accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the cases where the Base Rate is the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or Prime Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case where the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate. The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date, or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the next preceding Interest Reset Date, subject in either case to any adjustment by a Spread and/or a Spread Multiplier.

The “Interest Determination Date” where the Base Rate is the CD Rate or the Commercial Paper Rate will be the second Business Day next preceding an Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate will be the Business Day next preceding an Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is LIBOR will be the second London Business Day next preceding an Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls when Treasury Bills are normally auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is held on the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday. If an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week.

The “Index Maturity” is the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation from which the applicable Base Rate is calculated.

The “Calculation Date,” where applicable, shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day following the applicable Interest Determination Date or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date.

All times referred to herein reflect New York City time, unless otherwise specified.

The Issuer shall specify in writing to the Issuing and Paying Agent which party will be the calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”) with respect to the Floating Rate Notes. The Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent as soon as the interest rate with respect to such Floating Rate Note has been determined and as soon as practicable after any change in such interest rate.

All percentages resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five-one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655). All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded, in the case of U.S. dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).

CD Rate Notes

“CD Rate” means the rate on any Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”) in “Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates” or any successor publication of the FRB (“H.15(519)”) under the heading “CDs (Secondary Market)”.

If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date set forth in the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world wide website of the FRB at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇, or any successor site or publication or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate (“H.15 Daily Update”) under the caption “CDs (Secondary Market)”.

If such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the CD Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m. on such Interest Determination Date of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks of the highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity in the denomination of $5,000,000.

If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the CD Rate will remain the CD Rate then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

Commercial Paper Rate Notes

“Commercial Paper Rate” means the Money Market Yield (calculated as described below) of the rate on any Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity, as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial”.

If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial”.

If by 3:00 p.m. on such Calculation Date such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m. on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “AA,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to such Interest Determination Date will remain the Commercial Paper Rate then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“Money Market Yield” will be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Federal Funds Rate Notes

“Federal Funds Rate” means the rate on any Interest Determination Date for federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” and displayed on Reuters Screen FEDFUNDS1 Page under the heading “EFFECT” (or any successor service) (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that service) (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

If the above rate does not appear on Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1 or is not so published by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds/(Effective)”.

If such rate is not published as described above by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds arranged by each of three leading brokers of Federal Funds transactions in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 a.m. on such Interest Determination Date.

If the brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate will remain the Federal Funds Rate then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

LIBOR Notes

The London Interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having the Index Maturity that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date.

If no rate appears, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in such market selected by the Calculation Agent for a term equal to the Index Maturity and in principal amount equal to an amount that in the Calculation Agent’s judgment is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time (a “Representative Amount”). The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR for such interest period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in New York City, on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in New York City, selected by the Calculation Agent, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for a term equal to the Index Maturity and in a Representative Amount; provided, however, that if fewer than three banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are providing such quotations, the then existing LIBOR rate will remain in effect for such Interest Payment Period.

“Designated LIBOR Page” means the display on the Reuters 3000 Xtra Service, or any successor service, on the “LIBOR01” page or “LIBOR02” page or any replacement page or pages on which London interbank offered rates of major banks for U.S. dollars are displayed.

Prime Rate Notes

“Prime Rate” means the rate on any Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Bank Prime Loan”.

If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update opposite the caption “Bank Prime Loan”.

If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as such bank’s prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., on that Interest Determination Date.

If fewer than four such rates referred to above are so published by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.

If the banks selected are not quoting as mentioned above, the Prime Rate will remain the Prime Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

Exhibit D

Form of Guarantee

GUARANTEE

GUARANTEE, dated as of [·] of              , a corporation organized under the laws of             (the “Guarantor”).

The Guarantor, for value received, hereby agrees as follows for the benefit of the holders (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) from time to time of the Notes hereinafter described:

1.              The Guarantor irrevocably guarantees payment in full, as and when the same becomes due and payable, of the principal of and interest, if any, on the notes (the “Notes”)  issued by Molson Coors Brewing Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), from time to time pursuant to the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2013, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, between the Issuer, Bank of America, National Association (the “Agent”), and the guarantors from time to time party thereto (the “IPA Agreement”).

2.              The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any provision of the IPA Agreement or the Notes.

3.              The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder, to the Agent and its successors and assigns: (a) the full and punctual payment of all of the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under the IPA Agreement and the Notes; and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer under the IPA Agreement with respect to the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  The Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantor and that the Guarantor will remain bound under this Guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

4.              In the event of a default in payment of principal of or interest on any Notes, the Holders of such Notes may institute legal proceedings directly against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer.

5.              This Guarantee is a guaranty of the due and punctual payment (and not merely of collection) of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes by the Guarantor and shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts have been validly, finally and irrevocably paid in full, and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance or condition whatsoever, including without limitation (a) the absence of any action to obtain such

amounts from the Issuer, (b) any variation, extension, waiver, compromise or release of any or all of the obligations of the Issuer under the IPA Agreement or the Notes or of any collateral security therefor or (c) any change in the existence or structure of, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of, the Issuer or by any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. The Guarantor waives all requirements as to diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of any kind with respect to the IPA Agreement and the Notes.

6.              The obligations of each applicable Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the IPA Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

7.              The Guarantor further agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, or premium or interest on, any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

8.              In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Agent has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of, or premium or interest on, any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Agent an amount equal to the sum of: (1) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations; (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law); and (3) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders and the Agent.

9.              The Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Agent, on the other hand: (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated for the purposes of the Guarantor’s Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor.

10.       Any term or provision of the IPA Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to the Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

11.       Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of the Agent or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies and benefits of the Agent and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which they may have under the IPA Agreement or the Notes at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

12.       Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

13.       Upon: (i) the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, amalgamation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock or other interests of the Guarantor (other than to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries); or (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (other than to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries); or (iii) if at any time when no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes so guaranteed, the Guarantor no longer guarantees (or which Guarantee is being simultaneously released or will be immediately released after the release of the Guarantor) the indebtedness for borrowed money of the Issuer under the Issuer’s then-existing primary credit facility, the Guarantor shall automatically be deemed released from all obligations under this Guarantee without any further action required on the part of the Agent or any Holder. At the request of the Guarantor, the Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument delivered to it by the Guarantor and reasonably acceptable to the Agent, evidencing such release.

14.       The Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations with respect to such series to a contribution from each other guarantor so providing a guarantee with respect to the Notes in an amount equal to such other guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the guarantors so providing a guarantee with respect to such series of the Notes at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP; provided that the

operation of this Section 14 shall not limit in any manner the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Notes or the IPA Agreement.

15.       This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

16.       The Guarantor hereby irrevocably:

(a)         accepts and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan and the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan.

(b)         designates, appoints and empowers Molson Coors Brewing Company, with offices at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Chief Legal Officer, fax number: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and its properties, assets and revenues, service for any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any such action, suit or proceeding brought in the courts listed in Section 16(a) which may be made on such designee, appointee and agent in accordance with legal procedures prescribed for such courts, with respect to any suit, action or proceeding in connection with or arising out of this Guarantee. If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent hereunder shall cease to be available to act as such, the Guarantor agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in the City of New York on the terms and for the purposes of this Section 16(b). The Guarantor further hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents out of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action, suit or proceeding by serving a copy thereof upon the agent for service of process referred to in this Section 16(b) (whether or not the appointment of such agent shall for any reason prove to be ineffective or such agent shall accept or acknowledge such service) or by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, to it at its address specified in or designated pursuant to this Guarantee. The Guarantor agrees that the failure of any such designee, appointee and agent to give any notice of such service to it shall not impair or affect in any way the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Holders to serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the undersigned or bring actions, suits or proceedings against the undersigned in such other jurisdictions, and in such other manner, as may be permitted by applicable law. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the IPA Agreement brought in the courts listed in Section 16(a) and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

17.       To the extent that the Guarantor or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of immunity, on the

grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding in connection with or arising out of this Guarantee, from the giving of any relief in any thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceeding may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees for the benefit of the Holders not to plead or claim, any such immunity, and consents to such relief and enforcement.

18.       The Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Holder against any loss incurred by such Holder as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder or thereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such Holder is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of Judgment Currency actually received by such Holder. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Guarantor and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
