AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 3^rd day of November, 2004, by and among Constellation Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Constellation”), RMD Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation (“Merger Sub”), and The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mondavi Corporation, a California corporation (“Mondavi”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Constellation and Mondavi desire that Constellation combine its businesses with the businesses operated by Mondavi through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Mondavi, with Mondavi as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), pursuant to which (1) each share of Class A Common Stock of Mondavi, without par value (the “Mondavi Class A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), other than the shares of Mondavi Class A Common Stock owned by Constellation, Merger Sub or Mondavi (or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (as defined in Section 8.3)) and other than the Appraisal Shares (as defined in Section 2.1(d)), will be converted into the right to receive the Class A Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 2.1(b)), and (2) each share of Class B Common Stock of Mondavi, without par value (the “Mondavi Class B Common Stock,” and together with the Mondavi Class A Common Stock, the “Mondavi Common Stock”) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), other than the shares of Mondavi Class B Common Stock owned by Constellation, Merger Sub or Mondavi (or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (as defined in Section 8.3)) and other than the Appraisal Shares (as defined in Section 2.1(d)), will be converted into the right to receive the Class B Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 2.1(b)), all as more fully provided in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, as a condition and inducement to Constellation’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, Constellation and certain Mondavi Shareholders (as defined in Section 1.6(a)) are entering into a Support Agreement, of even date herewith, in respect of shares of Mondavi Common Stock beneficially owned by such shareholders (the “Support Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Board of each of Merger Sub and Mondavi has determined that the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement is just and reasonable to their respective shareholders; and

WHEREAS, Constellation, Merger Sub and Mondavi desire to make those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements specified herein in connection with this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, Constellation, Merger Sub and Mondavi agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the provisions of the California General Corporation Law (the “CGCL”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Mondavi at the Effective Time. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Mondavi shall continue its existence as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation under the laws of the State of California and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of Merger Sub in accordance with the CGCL. Mondavi, in its capacity as the corporation surviving the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2. Closing; Effective Time. A closing (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, or such other place as the parties hereto may agree, as soon as practicable following the date upon which all conditions set forth in Article VI that are capable of being satisfied prior to the date of the Closing have been satisfied or waived, or at such other date as Constellation and Mondavi may agree (such date, the “Closing Date”). As promptly as possible on the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of California (the “California Secretary of State”) an agreement of merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Merger Agreement”) and officer’s certificates in such form as is required by and executed in accordance with Section 1103 of the CGCL. The Merger shall become effective when the Merger Agreement is properly filed with the California Secretary of State in accordance with the CGCL or at such later time as may be specified in the Merger Agreement (the “Effective Time”).

1.3. Effects of the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 1107 of the CGCL.

1.4. Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) The Articles of Incorporation of Mondavi, as amended as set forth in the Merger Agreement, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until amended in accordance with their terms and the CGCL.

(b) Merger Sub’s Bylaws in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Surviving Corporation’s Bylaws, until amended in accordance with their terms, the Articles of Incorporation and the CGCL.

1.5. Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the officers of Mondavi shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation and the directors of Merger Sub shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, in each case, until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

1.6. Mondavi Shareholders’ Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Mondavi shall, in accordance with Applicable Laws (as defined in Section 2.2(d)) and Mondavi’s Restated Articles of Incorporation as in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Mondavi Articles”) and Mondavi’s Restated Bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Mondavi Bylaws”), duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the holders of shares of Mondavi Common Stock (the “Mondavi Shareholders”) to consider and vote upon approval of this Agreement and the Merger (the “Mondavi Shareholders’ Meeting”). Mondavi shall ensure that the Mondavi Shareholders’ Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited by Mondavi in connection with the Mondavi Shareholders’ Meeting are solicited by Mondavi in compliance with Applicable Laws.

(b) Mondavi shall promptly prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a proxy statement (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”) that meets the requirements of Applicable Laws to seek the approval of this Agreement and the Merger. Mondavi shall respond promptly to any comments made by the Commission with respect to the Proxy Statement and any preliminary version thereof filed by it and shall cause such Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Mondavi Shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable. Mondavi shall promptly notify Constellation of the receipt of any comments of the Commission with respect to the Proxy Statement and shall provide to Constellation copies of any comments received from the Commission in connection with the Proxy Statement. All filings with the Commission in connection with the Merger, including the Proxy Statement, and all mailings to the Mondavi Shareholders in connection with the Merger, including the Proxy Statement, shall be subject to the prior review and comment by Constellation and its counsel, and shall be reasonably acceptable to Constellation.

(c) The Mondavi Board shall make the Mondavi Board Recommendation (as defined in Section 4.20) . The Mondavi Board Recommendation shall be included in the Proxy Statement and the Mondavi Board shall take all commercially reasonable action to solicit the approval of this Agreement and the Merger by the Mondavi Shareholders. In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Mondavi Board determines after consultation with outside counsel that its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law require it to withdraw, modify or qualify the Mondavi Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Constellation, the Mondavi Board may so withdraw, modify or qualify the Mondavi Board Recommendation; provided, however, that the Mondavi Board may not recommend any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in Section 5.3(b)(viii)(A)) (other than this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger), except as specifically contemplated by, and in accordance with, Section 5.3(b)(iii); provided, further, however, that unless this Agreement is theretofore terminated, Mondavi shall nevertheless submit this Agreement to the Mondavi Shareholders for adoption at the Mondavi Shareholders’ Meeting.

1.7. Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, assignments or assurances in law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to (a) vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties

-3-

or assets of Mondavi or (b) otherwise carry out the provisions of this Agreement, Mondavi and its officers and directors shall be deemed to have granted to the Surviving Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments or assurances in law and to take all acts necessary, proper or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm title to and possession of such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation and otherwise to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, and the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are authorized in the name of Mondavi or otherwise to take any and all such action.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Constellation, Merger Sub or Mondavi or their respective shareholders:

(a) Each share of common stock, without par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, withoutpar value, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”). Such newly issued shares shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding Surviving Corporation capital stock, except insofar as Section 2.1(c)(i) applies.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Article II:

(i) Each share of Mondavi Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding any shares of Mondavi Class A Common Stock owned by Constellation, Merger Sub or Mondavi or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries (which shares shall be treated as otherwise provided in this Agreement) and any shares of Mondavi Class A Common Stock owned by shareholders properly exercising appraisal rights pursuant to Section 1300 of the CGCL (“Section 1300”), as provided in Section 2.1(d), shall be converted into and represent the right to receive $56.50 in cash, without interest (the “Class A Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all shares of Mondavi Class A Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and automatically shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any shares of Mondavi Class A Common Stock (a “Class A Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Class A Merger Consideration or in the case of holders of Appraisal Shares (as defined in Section 2.1(d)) the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 2.1(d) .

(ii) Each share of Mondavi Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding any shares of Mondavi Class B Common Stock owned by Constellation, Merger Sub or Mondavi or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries (which shares shall be treated as otherwise provided in this Agreement) and any shares of Mondavi Class B Common Stock owned by shareholders properly exercising appraisal rights pursuant to Section 1300, as provided in Section 2.1(d), shall be converted into and represent the right to receive $65.82 in cash, without interest (the “Class B

-4-

Merger Consideration,” and together with the Class A Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all shares of Mondavi Class B Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and automatically shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any shares of Mondavi Class B Common Stock (a “Class B Certificate,” and, together with the Class A Certificates, the “Certificates”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Class B Merger Consideration or in the case of holders of Appraisal Shares (as defined in Section 2.1(d)) the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 2.1(d) .

(c) Each share of Mondavi capital stock held by Constellation or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation, automatically shall be cancelled and retired and no payment shall be made in respect thereof. Each share of Mondavi Class B Common Stock held by any wholly-owned subsidiary of Mondavi shall, at Constellation’s election, either (i) be converted into such number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock such that each such wholly-owned subsidiary owns the same percentage (in terms of economic value) of Surviving Corporation Common Stock immediately following the Effective Time as the percentage (in terms of economic value) of Mondavi Common Stock that such wholly-owned subsidiary owned immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply unless the Mondavi Class B Shareholders unanimously consent to such treatment of the shares of Mondavi Class B Common Stock held by all wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mondavi, (ii) automatically be cancelled and retired and no payment shall be made in respect thereof, or (iii) be converted into the right to receive the Class B Merger Consideration.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the shares of Mondavi Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any Mondavi Shareholder that is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of shares of Mondavi Common Stock pursuant to, and that complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 1300 (the “Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Class A Merger Consideration or the Class B Merger Consideration, as applicable, as provided in Section 2.1(b), but, instead, such Mondavi Shareholder shall be entitled to such rights (but only such rights) as are granted by Section 1300. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Mondavi Shareholder shall fail to validly perfect or shall otherwise waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 1300 or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such Mondavi Shareholder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 1300, then the rights of such Mondavi Shareholder under Section 1300 shall cease, and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Class A Merger Consideration or the Class B Merger Consideration, as applicable, as provided in Section 2.1(b) without interest. Mondavi shall give prompt notice to Constellation of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Mondavi Common Stock, and Constellation shall have the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, Mondavi shall not, without the prior written consent of Constellation, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

-5-

2.2. Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, for the benefit of the Mondavi Shareholders, Constellation shall designate, or shall cause to be designated (pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Constellation), a bank or trust company to act as agent for the payment of the Class A Merger Consideration and the Class B Merger Consideration in respect of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates upon surrender of such Certificates in accordance with this Article II from time to time after the Effective Time (the “Paying Agent”). At the Effective Time, Constellation shall deposit, or cause Merger Sub to deposit, with the Paying Agent cash in an amount sufficient for the payment of the Class A Merger Consideration and the Class B Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) upon surrender of such Certificates (such cash, the “Exchange Fund”). The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Constellation, on a daily basis. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income resulting from investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains undistributed to the Mondavi Shareholders twelve months after the date of the mailing required by Section 2.2(b) shall be delivered to Constellation, upon demand by Constellation, and holders of Certificates that have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.2 shall thereafter look only to Constellation for payment of any claim to the Class A Merger Consideration or the Class B Merger Consideration, as applicable.

(b) Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in any event within five business days after the Effective Time), the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates held by such Mondavi Shareholder shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as Constellation may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Class A Merger Consideration or the Class B Merger Consideration, as applicable. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Constellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which the shares of Mondavi Common Stock formerly represented by the Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b), and the Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Mondavi Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer books of Mondavi, the proper amount of cash may be paid in exchange therefor to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes (as defined in Section 4.11(c)) required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Constellation that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(c) Stock Transfer Books. At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of Mondavi shall be closed, and there shall be no

-6-

further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Mondavi Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for transfer or any other reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) No Liability. None of Constellation, Merger Sub, Mondavi or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. All funds held by the Paying Agent for payment to the holders of unsurrendered Certificates and unclaimed twelve months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Constellation, after which time any holder of unsurrendered Certificates shall look as a general creditor only to Constellation for payment of the funds to which the holder of unsurrendered Certificates may be due, subject to Applicable Laws. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time, any such cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by all applicable laws, statutes, orders, rules, regulations, policies or guidelines promulgated, or judgments, decisions or orders entered by any Governmental Authority (as defined in Section 3.3(d)), in each case, to the extent applicable (collectively, “Applicable Laws”), become the property of Constellation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming a Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Constellation or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Constellation or the Surviving Corporation may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay in respect of the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Class A Merger Consideration or the Class B Merger Consideration, as applicable.

(f) No Further Ownership Rights in Mondavi Common Stock. The Class A Merger Consideration or the Class B Merger Consideration, as applicable, paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II in respect of Certificates that have been surrendered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Mondavi Common Stock represented thereby.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Constellation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Mondavi Shareholders such amounts as it may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Constellation, as the case may be, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Mondavi Shareholders in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Constellation, as the case may be.

-7-

2.3. Treatment of Stock Options; Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

(a) At the Effective Time, each option to purchase a share of Mondavi Class A Common Stock (a “Mondavi Option”) granted under the Mondavi 1993 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and the Mondavi 1993 Equity Incentive Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive (whether or not such Mondavi Option is then vested or exercisable), promptly after the Effective Time, an amount in cash (less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Class A Merger Consideration over (B) the per share exercise price of Mondavi Class A Common Stock subject to such Mondavi Option and (ii) the number of shares of Mondavi Class A Common Stock subject to such Mondavi Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. In connection therewith, at least five business days prior to the Effective Time, Mondavi shall provide written notice to each holder of a then outstanding Mondavi Option (whether or not such Mondavi Option is then vested or exercisable), that (x) such Mondavi Option shall be, as at the date of such notice, exercisable in full, (y) such Mondavi Option shall terminate at the Effective Time and (z) if such Mondavi Option is not exercised on or before the third business day prior to the Effective Time, such Mondavi Option (to the extent outstanding as of the Effective Time) shall be treated as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Effective as of the Effective Time, all stock units in respect of Mondavi Class A Common Stock or other equity-based awards settled in or the value of which is measured by reference to Mondavi Class A Common Stock (other than the Mondavi Options) (each a “Mondavi Stock Unit Award”) shall be converted into an obligation to pay cash, with a value equal to the product of (i) the Class A Merger Consideration and (ii) the number of shares of Mondavi Class A Common Stock subject to such Mondavi Stock Unit Award (whether vested or unvested). The obligations in respect of the converted Mondavi Stock Unit Awards shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the agreement, plan or arrangement relating to such Mondavi Stock Unit Awards.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Mondavi shall take any and all actions with respect to Mondavi’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) as are necessary to provide that (i) with respect to the Purchase Period (as defined in the ESPP) in effect as of the date of this Agreement, no employee who is not a participant in the ESPP as of the date hereof may become after the date hereof a participant in the ESPP and no participant in the ESPP may increase the percentage amount of his or her payroll deduction election from that in effect on the date hereof for such Purchase Period; (ii) subject to consummation of the Merger, the ESPP shall terminate, effective immediately before the Effective Time; and (iii) if the Purchase Period (as defined in the ESPP) in effect as of the date of this Agreement terminates prior to the Stock Plan Termination Date (as defined in the following sentence), the ESPP shall be suspended and no new Purchase Period will be commenced under the ESPP prior to the termination of this Agreement. Subject to consummation of the Merger, if such Purchase Period is expected to still be in effect at the Effective Time, then no later than the last day of the payroll period immediately preceding the Effective Time (the “Stock Plan Termination Date”), each purchase right under the ESPP as of the Stock Plan Termination Date shall be automatically exercised by applying the payroll deductions of each participant in the ESPP for such Purchase Period to the purchase of a number of whole shares of Mondavi Class A Common Stock (subject to the

provisions of Mondavi’s ESPP regarding the number of shares purchasable) at a “purchase price” (as such term is used in the ESPP) per share equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the ESPP) of a share of Mondavi Class A Common Stock on the Offering Date (as defined in the ESPP) or on the Stock Plan Termination Date, whichever is lower.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, Mondavi shall ensure that following the Effective Time no holder of a Mondavi Option or any participant in any Plan or other employee benefit arrangement of Mondavi shall have any right thereunder to acquire or receive any capital stock (including payment of cash in settlement of any unit award, “phantom” stock or stock appreciation rights) of Mondavi or the Surviving Corporation, except as expressly provided in Section 2.3(b) of this Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, Mondavi shall deliver to the holders of Mondavi Options, holders of Mondavi Stock Unit Awards and participants in the ESPP appropriate notices, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Constellation, setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, Mondavi shall take any and all actions necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.3, including the adoption of any plan amendments.

2.4. Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that Mondavi changes the number of shares of Mondavi Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Mondavi Common Stock, issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Class A Merger Consideration and the Class B Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

(b) Acquisition Proposals.

(i) Mondavi agrees that neither it nor any of its subsidiaries nor any of the officers or directors of it or its subsidiaries shall, and that it shall cause its and its subsidiaries’ employees, agents and representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant (“Representatives”) retained by it or any of its subsidiaries) not to, directly or indirectly, (A) initiate, solicit, encourage or facilitate any inquiries with respect to, or the making of, an Acquisition Proposal, (B) engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Authority or other entity of any kind or nature (each, a “Person”) relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise encourage or facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal, (C) approve or recommend or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or (D) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal or propose publicly or agree to do any of the foregoing relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

Shareholders at the Mondavi Shareholders’ Meeting, (A) providing information in response to a request therefor by, or engaging in any negotiations or discussions with, a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is not made in violation of Section 5.3(b)(i) if the Mondavi Board receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement on customary terms; or (B) recommending such an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal to the Mondavi Shareholders, if and only to the extent that, (1) in each such case referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, the Mondavi Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that such action is necessary in order for its directors to comply with their respective fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (2) in the case of clause (A) above, the Mondavi Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors that it is likely that such Acquisition Proposal would constitute a Superior Proposal; and (3) in the case of clause (B) above, the Mondavi Board determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal (in the form, other than immaterial changes, that was the subject of the Superior Proposal Notice, as defined below) constitutes a Superior Proposal and Constellation shall have received written notice (the “Superior Proposal Notice”) of Mondavi’s intention to take the action referred to in clause (B) at least four business days prior to the taking of such action by Mondavi (the “Waiting Period”); provided, however, that the Mondavi Board continues to believe, after taking into account any modifications to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement that are proposed by Constellation after its receipt of the Superior Proposal Notice (with respect to which modifications Mondavi and Constellation shall endeavor to negotiate in good faith), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. If the Mondavi Board recommends an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal pursuant to clause (B) above, Constellation shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a) of the Agreement.

(iv) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.3(b)(iv), Mondavi agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the parties hereto) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Mondavi agrees that it will take the necessary steps to promptly inform the officers, directors, employees and Representatives of Mondavi and its subsidiaries of the obligations undertaken in this Section 5.3(b) . Mondavi also agrees promptly, but in any event, within five days after the date of this Agreement, to request the return or destruction of all information and materials provided (to any Person other than the parties hereto) prior to the date of this Agreement by it, its subsidiaries or their respective Representatives with respect to the consideration or making of any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Mondavi or the Mondavi Board prior to the Mondavi Shareholders’ Meeting from continuing any of its existing activities, discussions or negotiations with the parties listed on Section 5.3(b)(iv) of the Mondavi Disclosure Schedule with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(v) From and after the execution of this Agreement, Mondavi shall promptly, orally notify Constellation of any request for information or any inquiries, proposals or offers relating to an Acquisition Proposal (including any Acquisition Proposal from a party listed on Section 5.3(b)(iv) of the Mondavi Disclosure Schedule), indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person making such request, inquiry, proposal or offer and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and Mondavi shall provide to Constellation written notice of any such inquiry, proposal or offer within 24 hours of such event. Mondavi

-29-

shall keep Constellation informed orally on a current basis of the status of any Acquisition Proposal (including any Acquisition Proposal from a party listed on Section 5.3(b)(iv) of the Mondavi Disclosure Schedule), including with respect to the status and terms of any such proposal or offer and whether any such proposal or offer has been withdrawn or rejected and Mondavi shall provide to Constellation written notice of any such developments within 24 hours. Mondavi also agrees to provide any information to Constellation (not theretofore provided to Constellation) that it is providing to another Person pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) at substantially the same time it provides such information to such other Person.

(vi) Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.3(b) by any officer, director or employee of Mondavi or any of its subsidiaries or any Representative of Mondavi or any of its subsidiaries, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of Mondavi or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.3(b) by Mondavi.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall be submitted to the Mondavi Shareholders for the purpose of approving this Agreement and the Merger, regardless of the recommendation or any change in the recommendation of the Mondavi Board with respect thereto.

(viii) For purposes of this Agreement:

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights and the single or partial exercise of any rights hereof shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

8.13. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
