All such shipments shall be accompanied by a packing slip that specifies the quantity and identity of the ordered CBA Products.

4.3.2 If CBA fails to collect any Export Specified Products within two (2) days of the applicable Delivery Time therefor, AB shall have the right to transfer any such

uncollected Specified Products to a reasonably selected third-party warehouse for storage. In such case, title to such Specified Products and risk of loss with respect thereto shall pass from AB to CBA when such Specified Products are delivered to such third-party warehouse for storage. CBA shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by AB in connection with the transfer to or storage of such Specified Products at such third-party warehouse and, if any such Specified Products become unsalable pursuant to the Technical Manual for the applicable CBA Brands related thereto during the period of such storage, the cost and expense of destroying such Specified Products. CBA shall provide reasonable notice to AB prior to taking delivery of any Export Specified Products at any such third-party warehouse.

4.3.3 If CBA instructs AB to destroy any Export Specified Products which have not been collected from any US AB Facility or applicable third-party warehouse by CBA or one of its agents, CBA shall pay to AB (a) the Production Price and any Applicable Tax CBA would have paid to AB hereunder in respect of such Specified Products and (b) the cost and expense incurred by AB to destroy such Specified Products.

4.4 With respect to any draught Specified Products, AB will utilize (a) its own kegs for delivery of such Specified Products and (b) the same deposit and keg return system with respect to such Specified Products as AB utilizes for its own comparable products.

5. Production Price; Production Fee.

5.1 Production Price.

5.1.1 “Production Price” shall mean:

(a) in the case of the Initial Specified Products, subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 5.2:

(i) with respect to any Initial Specified Product to be delivered by AB to (A) any CBA Eastern Wholesaler, the price set forth with respect to such Initial Specified Product on Schedule 5.1.1(a) hereto under the heading “U.S. Domestic Delivered Price to Wholesaler” and (B) any CBA Western Wholesaler, the price set forth with respect to such Initial Specified Product on Schedule 5.1.1(b) hereto under the heading “U.S. Domestic Delivered Price to Wholesaler”; and

(ii) with respect to any Initial Specified Product that is an Export Specified Product (A) Produced at the Meramec, New Hampshire US AB Facility, the price set forth with respect to such Initial Specified Product on Schedule 5.1.1(a) hereto under the heading “Produced for Export” and (B) Produced at the Fairfield, California US AB Facility, the price set forth with respect to such Initial Specified Product on Schedule 5.1.1(b) hereto under the heading “Produced for Export”; and

(b) in the case of any Additional Specified Product, the applicable price determined by the parties in accordance with Section 5.1.2 of this Agreement and set forth with respect to such Additional Specified Product on Schedule 5.1.1(a) and/or 5.1.1(b) hereto, as applicable,

in each case of clauses (a) and (b), as each such Production Price (x) shall be increased in accordance with the proviso in Section 5.3 of this Agreement and (y) may be increased in accordance with Section 9.4 of this Agreement.

5.1.2 Upon agreeing on an Additional Specified Product in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement, the parties will supplement Exhibit A hereto with the applicable CBA Brand and the related Specified Products and will supplement Schedule 5.1.1(a) and/or 5.1.1(b) with the applicable Production Price therefor. The Production Price in respect of (a) any Additional Specified Product previously Produced by or on behalf of CBA (each, an “Existing CBA Product”) shall be equal to the average of (i) the Historical Total CBA Cost with respect to such Existing CBA Product (in each case after giving effect to whether such Additional Specified Product is to be delivered to CBA Eastern Wholesalers, CBA Western Wholesalers or is to be exported) and (ii) the estimated total cost (utilizing the Benchmark Variable Materials Cost) to AB (the “Estimated Additional Product Cost”) of Producing and delivering such Existing CBA Product, including, with respect to draught Specified Products, the cost of keg use and empty keg return for cooperage and (b) any Additional Specified Product not previously Produced by or on behalf of CBA (a “New Specified Product”) shall be equal to (i) the Estimated Additional Product Cost of such New Specified Product, plus (ii) an amount equal to (A) such Estimated Additional Product Cost set forth in clause (b)(i) multiplied by (B) the average percentage margin that is earned by AB hereunder for Specified Products with the same package type, size, configuration and delivery location as such New Specified Product.

5.2 Production Price Adjustment.

5.2.1 During the thirty (30) day period following the date that is six (6) months after the Transition Date (or, if later, the Effective Date), CBA and AB agree to discuss in good faith whether the Production Price of the Initial Specified Products is likely to require adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2.2 and, in connection therewith, each party shall provide to the other party any reasonably requested documentation with respect to the Actual Total AB Cost or Historical Total CBA Cost, as applicable, of the Initial Specified Products. Following such discussion, the parties may mutually agree to adjust the Production Price at such time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.2.2 (with any reference therein to the prior twelve (12) month period being deemed a reference to the prior six (6) month period); provided that, if the parties so agree, no further adjustment of the Production Price shall be conducted pursuant to Section 5.2.2.

5.2.2 During the thirty (30) day period following the date that is twelve (12) months after the Transition Date (or, if later, the Effective Date), CBA and AB agree, with respect to the Initial Specified Products:

(a) to (i) determine the actual total cost to AB (the “Actual Total AB Cost”) of Producing (including giving effect to the cost of hops provided by CBA suppliers pursuant to Section 8.1) and delivering each Initial Specified Product during such prior twelve (12) month period and (ii) confirm the actual Historical Total CBA Cost with respect to each Initial Specified Product (in each case after giving effect to whether such Initial Specified Product is to be delivered to CBA Eastern Wholesalers, CBA Western Wholesalers or is to be exported), and to adjust the applicable Production Prices set forth on Schedule 5.1.1(a) and 5.1.1(b) with respect to such Initial Specified Products from and after the end of such thirty (30) day

period (the date of such adjustment, the “Price Adjustment Date”) to equal the average of (A) the applicable Historical Total CBA Cost (as confirmed pursuant to this Section 5.2.2) and (B) the applicable Actual Total AB Cost, in each case with respect to such Initial Specified Products; provided that, in determining the Actual Total AB Cost and the actual Historical Total CBA Cost with respect to each such Initial Specified Product, the parties shall consider, in good faith, excluding from each of the Actual Total AB Cost and the actual Historical Total CBA Cost, as applicable, any amounts attributable to one-time startup costs or other cost anomalies incurred by AB or CBA, respectively;

(b) to determine the actual per Barrel cost incurred by AB with respect to each of the Variable Materials during such prior twelve (12) month period in the Production of the Initial Specified Products (for any Variable Material, the “Benchmark Variable Materials Cost”); and

(c) if the aggregate Historical Total CBA Cost does not exceed the aggregate Production Prices determined pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a) by at least $10.00, then the Production Prices for each of the Initial Specified Products SKUs shall be decreased by an equal dollar amount such that the aggregate Historical Total CBA Cost exceeds the aggregate Production Prices (as so decreased) by $10.00. For purposes of this Section 5.2.2(c), (i) the aggregate Historical Total CBA Cost (A) shall reflect the actual costs of CBA for the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Transition Date (or if later the Effective Date), (B) shall be determined on a cost per Barrel basis and (C) shall be calculated on a weighted average basis (weighted by volume) on the assumption that CBA delivered the same volumes and SKUs of Initial Specified Products as were actually delivered by AB hereunder during the prior twelve (12) month period, and the allocation of Production as between CBA’s east coast breweries and west coast breweries was in the same proportion as the actual allocation of AB’s Production as between its Fairfield, California brewery and the Merrimack, New Hampshire brewery; and (ii) the aggregate Production Prices (A) shall be expressed on a per Barrel basis and (B) shall be calculated on a weighted average basis (weighted by volume) as applied to the volumes and SKUs of, and location of Production for, the Initial Specified Products actually delivered by AB hereunder during the prior twelve (12) month period.

In connection with the foregoing, (I) each party shall provide to the other party any reasonably requested supporting documentation with respect to, and (II) each party shall have the right, on reasonable prior written notice, during regular business hours, to inspect the applicable books and records of the other party that are relevant to determining, any applicable Actual Total AB Cost, Historical Total CBA Cost, or Benchmark Variable Materials Cost, as applicable, with respect to the Initial Specified Products, and each party shall cooperate with the other party in good faith in connection therewith.

5.3 Production Fee. CBA shall pay AB a fee for the Production and delivery of the Specified Products (the “Production Fee”) in accordance with the invoicing and payment procedures set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement. The Production Fee for each order of Specified Products shall be equal to the sum of:

(a) the aggregate Production Price with respect to such Specified Products, plus

(b) any Tax (other than any Tax on the net income of AB or any of its Affiliates) imposed with respect to such Specified Products (the “Applicable Tax”), plus

(c) with respect to any U.S. Specified Products, the portion of any freight surcharge applicable to such order and allocable to such Specified Products (it being understood that in no event shall the Production Price of an Initial Specified Product or any Additional Specified Product include any such applicable freight surcharge);

provided that, the Production Price in respect of each Specified Product shall be increased on the first day of each calendar year beginning 2018 by an amount equal to (i) the Production Fixed Cost with respect to such Specified Product, multiplied by (ii) (A) on January 1, 2018, a percentage equal to 50% of any increase in the Producer Price Index as of such date as compared to the Producer Price Index as of the date hereof and (B) on the first day of each succeeding calendar year, a percentage equal to 50% of any increase in the Producer Price Index as of such date as compared to the Producer Price Index as of the first day of the immediately preceding calendar year.

5.4 Actual Variable Materials Cost. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar year beginning with the 2018 calendar year, AB will deliver to CBA (the “Variable Cost Notice”) AB’s calculation of (a) the actual per Barrel cost incurred by AB with respect to each of the Variable Materials in such calendar year in the Production of the Specified Products (for any Variable Material, the “Actual Variable Materials Cost”), (b) the aggregate Actual Production Variable Cost incurred by AB with respect to the Specified Products delivered by AB hereunder in such calendar year (the “Actual Aggregate Variable Cost”), (c) the aggregate Benchmark Production Variable Cost with respect to the Specified Products delivered by AB hereunder in such calendar year (the “Benchmark Aggregate Variable Cost”) and (d) the difference between the Actual Aggregate Variable Cost and Benchmark Aggregate Variable Cost (the “Annual Variable Cost Difference”), in each case, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation with respect to such costs. For each applicable calendar year, (i) if the Actual Aggregate Variable Cost is greater than the Benchmark Aggregate Variable Cost, CBA shall pay to AB the amount of the Annual Variable Cost Difference and (ii) if the Benchmark Aggregate Variable Cost is greater than the Actual Aggregate Variable Cost, AB shall pay to CBA the amount of the Annual Variable Cost Difference, in each case in accordance with the invoicing and payment procedures set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement. CBA shall have the right to dispute, in good faith, any calculation of the Actual Variable Materials Cost, Actual Aggregate Variable Cost, Benchmark Aggregate Variable Cost or Annual Variable Cost Difference included by AB in any Variable Cost Notice, in which case neither party shall be obligated to pay any disputed amount during the pendency of such dispute.

5.5 Dispute Procedures. In the event of any dispute in respect of (a) the determination of the Production Price of any Additional Specified Product pursuant to Section 5.1.2, (b) the Production Price adjustment conducted pursuant to Section 5.2.1 or 5.2.2, as applicable, or (c) the calculation by AB of the Annual Variable Cost Difference pursuant to Section 5.4, each of the parties shall provide any supporting documentation reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the calculation of the Estimated Additional Product Cost, Actual Total AB Cost (including the average percentage margin thereon under this Agreement), Historical Total CBA Cost, Benchmark Variable Materials Cost, Actual Variable Materials Cost, Actual Aggregate Variable Cost, Benchmark Aggregate Variable Cost or Annual Variable Cost

Difference, as applicable (any such item, a “Reviewable Item”), and the parties shall seek to resolve such dispute expeditiously and in good faith. If the parties are not able to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days following, as applicable, agreement on an Additional Specified Product in accordance with Section 5.1.2, the commencement of the Production Price adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2.1 or 5.2.2 or AB’s delivery to CBA of any Variable Cost Notice pursuant to Section 5.4, the parties shall submit such dispute for review and resolution by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC or, if such firm is not available at such time, another independent, nationally recognized accounting or consulting firm reasonably acceptable to each party (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC or such other firm, the “Accounting Firm”), and the Accounting Firm shall make a final determination of any applicable Reviewable Item; provided that, the scope of such review by such Accounting Firm shall be limited to: (a) those matters that remain in dispute and (b) whether the calculations of the applicable Reviewable Item or Reviewable Items were made in accordance with Section 5.1.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.2 or 5.4 of this Agreement, as applicable. In connection with any such dispute, each party shall deliver to the Accounting Firm its calculation of any amount in dispute and supporting documentation therefor. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be paid based upon the relative extent to which the positions of AB and CBA are upheld by the Accounting Firm.

6. Invoicing and Payment.

6.1 On or after each Delivery Time, AB shall issue an invoice (each such invoice, an “Invoice”) to CBA which shall set forth in reasonable itemized detail the following: (a) the Specified Products and aggregate Barrels of each CBA Brand ordered pursuant to the applicable Production Order, (b) the Production Price therefor, less any amounts CBA is not obligated to pay pursuant to Section 4.2.2 of this Agreement, (c) any Applicable Tax in respect thereof, (d) to the extent applicable, the portion of any freight surcharge applicable to such Production Order and allocable to the Specified Products ordered thereunder and (e) the aggregate Production Fee due by CBA with respect to the Specified Products ordered pursuant to such Production Order. Upon the reasonable request of CBA, AB shall provide to CBA reasonably detailed documentation verifying the amount of any Applicable Tax or freight surcharge included in any Invoice issued to CBA.

6.2 CBA shall pay the Production Fee with respect to each Production Order to AB within thirty (30) days of the date of CBA’s receipt of the relevant Invoice therefor.

6.3 Subject to the last sentence of Section 5.4 of this Agreement, AB or CBA, as applicable, shall pay to the other party the Annual Variable Cost Difference determined pursuant to Section 5.4 within thirty (30) days after AB’s delivery to CBA of the Variable Cost Notice with respect to any applicable calendar year.

6.4 The parties agree that if any payment due date falls on a day which is not a business day, then payment shall be made on the first business day following the payment due date, unless that business day would fall after the date of the expiration or termination of this Agreement, in which event payment shall be made on or before the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement.

7. Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, CBA shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable to AB pursuant to this

Agreement, such amounts as CBA is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any other provision of federal, state, local or other, whether domestic or non-U.S., Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall (a) be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority by CBA and (b) be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by CBA. CBA shall pay such additional amounts as shall, after the deduction and withholding has been made, leave AB with the full amount that it would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required.

8. Materials.

8.1 AB shall obtain all Raw Materials, packaging materials and any other materials required for the Production of CBA Brands; provided that, from time to time, upon the reasonable request of AB, CBA shall provide AB with the starter yeast required for AB’s Production of the CBA Brands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent CBA has existing contractual obligations with its suppliers as of the date of this Agreement with respect to the purchase of certain hops, for so long as such contractual obligations remain in effect, CBA will (a) cause such hops to be delivered to AB and AB will use such hops in the Production of the Specified Products hereunder and (b) not amend or renew any such agreement or enter into any new agreement in respect of the purchase of such hops without the prior written consent of AB, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except to the extent any such amendment, renewal or new agreement is in respect of the purchase of hops to be used exclusively by CBA in its own Production, in which case no prior written consent of AB shall be necessary.

8.2 Concurrently with providing the Technical Manual to AB with respect to any CBA Brand and the related Specified Products, CBA shall notify AB of the labeling, packaging and Raw Materials requirements with respect thereto and shall provide AB with samples thereof. Notwithstanding the malt ingredient and labeling requirements in the Technical Manuals provided by CBA to AB for the CBA Brands, AB shall (a) use such malt in connection with the Production of each of the CBA Brands hereunder as is customarily used by AB in connection with the Production of its malt beverage products (the “AB Malt”) and (b) use applied labels in connection with the Production of the Specified Products of each of the CBA Brands hereunder that are packaged in glass bottles. CBA shall assist AB in transitioning the current malt ingredients and labeling for the Specified Products to AB Malt and applied labels pursuant to CBA’s obligations under Section 2.2 of this Agreement.

8.3 During the term of this Agreement, if CBA desires to change the labeling or Raw Materials requirements for any Specified Product in accordance with Section 9.4 of this Agreement, CBA shall provide to AB the new labeling or Raw Materials requirements, as applicable, together with samples thereof and AB shall, at CBA’s option, either (a) destroy or deliver to CBA all labels or Raw Materials, as applicable, in AB’s inventory that reflect (and in the case of Raw Materials, were exclusively used for) the prior CBA requirements therefor and, in each case, CBA shall pay to AB the cost of (i) such inventory and (ii) the destruction or delivery thereof, as applicable, or (b) permit AB to complete the Production of the applicable Specified Products using AB’s existing inventory of labels and Raw Materials therefor, as applicable, until AB has exhausted its supply of such existing inventory. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, CBA shall not be entitled to change the AB Malt or applied labels used by AB as contemplated by Section 8.2.

8.4 During the term of this Agreement, if CBA desires to change the packaging materials requirements for any Specified Product in accordance with Section 9.4 of this Agreement, CBA shall provide to AB the new packaging materials requirements for such Specified Product together with a sample thereof. In the event of any such change in packaging materials requirements for a Specified Product, AB shall undertake to use the prior packaging materials used therefor (the “Prior Packaging Materials”) in the ordinary course of AB’s business in connection with AB’s Production of any other products at the US AB Facilities (“Ordinary Course Production”); provided that, if AB, in its reasonable determination, is unable to use such Prior Packaging Materials in its Ordinary Course Production, AB shall, at CBA’s option, either (a) destroy or deliver to CBA all such Prior Packaging Materials, as applicable, in AB’s inventory and, in each case, CBA shall pay to AB the cost of (i) such inventory and (ii) the destruction or delivery thereof, as applicable, or (b) permit AB to complete the Production of such Specified Products using AB’s existing inventory of such Prior Packaging Materials until AB has exhausted its supply of such existing inventory.

8.5 Notwithstanding AB’s general obligations in Section 12.2 of this Agreement, it shall be CBA’s responsibility to (a) ensure that the content of the labeling and packaging for the Specified Products (including any required warning labels) comply with applicable Laws and (b) provide AB with all information reasonably required to produce the labels and packaging materials for the Specified Products. Any information provided by CBA pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be complete and correct when provided to AB.

8.6 In the event of any defect in the Raw Materials (other than any starter yeast or hops provided by CBA or its suppliers pursuant to Section 8.1) or packaging materials used by AB to Produce any CBA Brand, AB shall use its reasonable best efforts to diligently pursue any and all remedies that may be available against the supplier thereof in respect of any Liabilities incurred by CBA arising as a result of such defect, and CBA shall cooperate with AB in connection therewith. AB further agrees to promptly (and in any event, within seven (7) business days of the receipt thereof by AB) remit to CBA any amounts recovered from a supplier in respect of any such Liabilities incurred by CBA, from which AB shall be entitled to deduct its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs directly incurred in connection with its obligations pursuant to this Section 8.6; provided that, in the event that any amount recovered by AB from a supplier in respect of a Raw Materials or packaging materials defect (a “Recovered Amount”) relates to both (a) Liabilities incurred by AB in connection with AB’s Production of products other than CBA Products and (b) Liabilities incurred by CBA arising as a result of such defect, AB shall remit to CBA the ratable portion of such Recovered Amount that relates to the Liabilities incurred by CBA. CBA shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake, conduct and control, through appropriate counsel of its own choosing and at CBA’s expense, the pursuit of remedies against a supplier of Raw Materials or packaging materials used in the Production by AB of the CBA Products, in each case to the extent such action is solely in respect of Raw Materials or packaging materials used exclusively in the Production of the Specified Products under this Agreement (and not in AB’s Production of any other products) or otherwise relates exclusively to CBA Products. In the event CBA assumes control thereof pursuant to the foregoing sentence, AB shall cooperate with CBA in connection with CBA’s pursuit of remedies against a supplier of Raw Materials or packaging materials used in AB’s Production of the

Specified Products and shall be permitted to participate in the pursuit of any remedies (including by obtaining its own counsel). Without the prior written consent of AB, CBA will not enter into any settlement of any such Liability incurred by CBA which would create any Liability or non-monetary obligation on the part of AB.

9. Technical Manual.

9.1 CBA shall provide AB with the Technical Manual and any other applicable Technical Information in respect of any given CBA Brand prior to placing any order for any Specified Products related to such CBA Brand.

9.2 With respect to any Additional Specified Products added to Exhibit A hereto in accordance with Section 3.1 and Section 5.1.2 of this Agreement, CBA shall deliver to AB the Technical Manual and any other applicable Technical Information in respect of the CBA Brand related to such Additional Specified Products as promptly as reasonably practicable after the parties agree on such Additional Specified Product in accordance with Section 3.1.

9.3 AB shall Produce the CBA Brands at the US AB Facilities in all material respects in accordance with the applicable Technical Manual. Except as set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement, AB shall make no material deviation from the Technical Manual for any CBA Brand without the prior written consent of CBA, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.4 Subject to AB’s right to use AB Malt and applied labels in the Production of the Specified Products as contemplated by Section 8.2 and the provisions of this Section 9.4, the Technical Manual for any CBA Brand may be supplemented and amended by CBA from time to time, including with respect to any changes CBA desires to make to the Raw Materials, labeling or packaging requirements for the Specified Products. Should CBA amend or supplement any such Technical Manual, CBA shall provide AB with a copy of the amendments or supplements with sufficient time to alter the Production of the applicable CBA Brand (if any alteration is necessary) to comply with such amendments or supplements; provided that, (a) no such amendment or supplement shall be effective or permitted if it would result in (i) a conflict with applicable Laws, (ii) in AB’s reasonable determination, an unreasonable disruption to AB’s operations at any applicable US AB Facility, or (iii) AB incurring capital expenditures at the US AB Facilities or otherwise, unless CBA agrees in writing to pay AB for the amount of any such capital expenditures and such expenditures would not, in AB’s sole determination, result in an unreasonable disruption to AB’s operations at the applicable US AB Facility, (b) (i) the Production Price of each affected Specified Product shall be increased by the applicable portion of the per Barrel increase in the Actual Total AB Cost thereof resulting from such amendment or supplement to the Technical Manual (and the parties shall update Schedule 5.1.1(a) and/or 5.1.1(b), as applicable, to reflect such increased Production Price) and (ii) CBA shall pay all other costs and expenses, without duplication, that arise as a result of such amendment or supplement to the Technical Manual, and (c) any updates or supplements to the Technical Manual shall be consistent with those applicable to CBA’s own Production of the CBA Brands.

10. Intangible Rights.

10.1 Grant. CBA hereby grants to AB, and AB hereby accepts, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free right to use the Intangible Rights that are owned or licensed by CBA related to the Specified Products and any similar intangible rights owned or licensed by CBA that are necessary for the Production and sale of the Specified Products by AB as contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “CBA Intangible Rights”), solely for the purposes of Producing the Specified Products at the US AB Facilities and delivering and selling such Specified Products to CBA or the applicable CBA Wholesalers. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing right includes the right of AB to place the names of the CBA Brands on the labels of Specified Products. As between the parties, CBA retains sole and exclusive ownership rights to the CBA Intangible Rights. All goodwill accruing as a result of the use of the CBA Intangible Rights will inure to the benefit of CBA.

10.2 No Challenge. AB agrees that it shall not challenge, on the basis of the transactions described in this Agreement, the ownership by CBA of the registered trademarks contained within the CBA Intangible Rights, or the goodwill associated therewith, during the term of this Agreement.

10.3 Protection of CBA Intangible Rights. CBA shall take all commercially reasonable actions to protect the CBA Intangible Rights. CBA shall pay all renewal and other fees necessary to maintain the registrations and validity of the CBA Intangible Rights in all cases where any such fees are required to be paid, and shall prosecute any applications therefor with due diligence during the term of this Agreement.

10.4 Representations and Warranties. CBA represents and warrants that (a) it is the owner or licensee and has the right to grant the rights to the CBA Intangible Rights to AB as provided under this Agreement, (b) AB’s permitted use of the CBA Intangible Rights under this Agreement does not conflict with any agreement, judgment or other obligation of CBA and will not violate any applicable Law, in each case, in any material respect, (c) AB’s permitted use of the CBA Intangible Rights hereunder will not infringe the Intangible Rights of any third person and (d) Schedule 5.1.1 sets forth a good faith estimate of the Historical Total CBA Cost with respect to each of the Initial Specified Products.

10.5Notices. AB agrees that Specified Products shall bear appropriate proprietary legends or notices as specified in advance in writing by CBA from time to time.

11. Infringement.

11.1 Infringement By AB. AB shall notify CBA of any and all written allegations or claims by others which may come to its attention that the use of the CBA Intangible Rights infringes, misappropriates or violates the Intangible Rights of any third party, or violates or is contrary to any applicable Law. In addition to CBA’s obligation to indemnify AB as provided in Section 13 of this Agreement, CBA shall procure for AB the right to continue to use the CBA Intangible Rights which are the subject of the claim or allegation, or to modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing.

12. Compliance with Law.

12.1 CBA represents and warrants that the Technical Manual and the Technical Information shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws and industry standards

(as amended from time to time) that are relevant to the Production of the CBA Brands and related Specified Products.

12.3 CBA shall, at CBA’s own cost and expense, secure and maintain all necessary Governmental Approvals, including governmental permits, licenses and certifications, and fulfill in all material respects all other applicable legal requirements and undertakings, in each case as required for the distribution and sale (including with respect to labels and packaging) of the Specified Products in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and AB shall reasonably cooperate, at CBA’s expense, in connection therewith.

12.4 Neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement and none of its provisions shall be operative unless and until AB and CBA obtain all Governmental Approvals necessary to Produce the CBA Brands at the US AB Facilities.

12.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 12 shall not apply to any matters relating to the AB Consent Decrees, the DOJ Submissions or any Legal Restraint arising therefrom or in connection therewith, which matters are addressed solely in Section 2.1.

13. Indemnification.

13.1 AB shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless each of CBA, its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, and agents, from and against any and all injuries, claims, liabilities, losses, expenses, taxes, damages, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings and judgments of whatsoever type or nature, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, and other legal expenses (“Liabilities”) incurred by it or them in connection with any claim based upon or arising from any breach by AB of its obligations under this Agreement or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by AB under this Agreement.

Nothing herein shall require AB to indemnify, protect, defend or hold harmless any indemnitee with respect to any claim to the extent such claim arises from, is connected with or is attributable to CBA’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

13.2 CBA shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AB and its directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents from and against any and all Liabilities incurred by it or them in connection with any claim based upon or arising from:

13.2.1 any breach by CBA of its obligations under this Agreement or any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties made by CBA under this Agreement;

13.2.2 the content of the labels and packaging for the Specified Products (so long as such content was unaltered by AB);

13.2.3 any defect in any Specified Product that was caused by or resulted from AB’s Production of the applicable Specified Product in compliance with the Technical Manual, Technical Information or any other requests, instructions or specifications delivered by CBA with respect thereto; and

13.2.4 any infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of Intangible Rights of third parties arising or alleged to arise from the use of the CBA Intangible Rights.

Nothing herein shall require CBA to indemnify, protect, defend or hold harmless any indemnitee with respect to any claim to the extent such claim arises from, is connected with or is attributable to AB’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

13.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except to the extent such Liabilities are payable by the applicable indemnified party in connection with a third party claim, neither AB nor CBA shall have any Liability to the other party whether in contract (including under any indemnity), tort (including negligence) or for breach of legal duty or in any other way for (a) any loss of goodwill or reputation, profits, contracts, business or anticipated savings or (b) any special, consequential or indirect losses, in each such case whether or not such losses were within the contemplation of the parties at the date of this Agreement.

13.4 If a claim by a third party is made against a party indemnified pursuant to this Section 13 and if such indemnified party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto, the indemnified party shall promptly (and in any case within thirty (30) days of such claim being made) notify the indemnifying party of such Liability; provided, however, that any failure of the indemnified party to promptly notify the indemnifying party of such claim shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations pursuant to this Section 13, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

13.5 The indemnifying party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake, conduct and control, through appropriate counsel of its own choosing and at the indemnifying party’s expense, the settlement or defense of any claim by a third party for which the indemnifying party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder; provided that the indemnifying party (a) acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party hereunder against any Liabilities that may result from such third party claim and (b) proceeds with such defense in good faith, expeditiously and diligently. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party in writing that it will defend any such matter within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice from the indemnified party of the existence of the Liability, the indemnifying party shall have no right to defend such matter, and the indemnified party shall have full right and power to defend, settle or otherwise deal with and dispose of the matter and shall be indemnified for the fees and expenses of counsel retained for such purpose and any judgment or settlement amount.

13.6 The indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any defense by the indemnifying party of a claim pursuant to Section 13.5, but the indemnifying party shall permit the indemnified party to participate in such settlement or

defense through counsel chosen by the indemnified party and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the indemnified party. Without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not enter into any settlement of any such Liability which would create (a) any financial obligation on the part of the indemnified party which the indemnifying party has not agreed in writing to pay in full or (b) any non-monetary obligation on the part of the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party shall, after any such settlement or the resolution of any claim, promptly reimburse the indemnified party for the full amount of any Liability resulting from such claim not theretofore paid by the indemnifying party. Except as provided in Section 13.5, the indemnified party will not enter into any settlement or pay (except pursuant to a judgment) any such claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed.

14. Insurance. Each party shall keep in force at all times while any CBA Brand is being brewed by AB at the US AB Facilities, general liability insurance with both “products” and “contractual” coverage for aggregated claims in the minimum amount of $10,000,000, and shall furnish the other party a certificate from a financially responsible insurance company evidencing that such insurance is in force, naming the other party as an additional insured and providing that such coverage may not be cancelled or materially changed without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. Any such policy of insurance shall contain a waiver of subrogation.

17.1 During and subsequent to the term of this Agreement, each party (the “receiving party” and, the other party, the “disclosing party”) shall treat and shall cause its respective employees, officers, directors, advisors, representatives, subsidiaries, Affiliates, assigns, subcontractors and any and all persons or business entities acting under one or any of them, to treat as confidential property and not disclose to any other Person or use in any manner, except as is necessary to perform this Agreement (and then only on a confidential basis satisfactory to both parties), any confidential information regarding the disclosing party’s prices, plans, programs, processes, products, costs, equipment, operations or customers (including, without limitation, the Technical Manual and the Technical Information received by AB and information received by CBA regarding the Production or delivery of the Specified Products by AB) (“Confidential Information”) which may come within the knowledge of such party, its officers, employees or advisors in the performance of this Agreement, without in each instance securing the prior written consent of the disclosing party.

17.2 Section 17.1 of this Agreement shall not prevent either AB or CBA from disclosing to any other person or using in any manner, information that such party can show:

17.2.1 has been published or has become part of the public domain without any breach of this Agreement other than by acts, omissions or fault of such party or its employees or agents;

17.2.2 has been furnished or has been made known to such party by third parties (other than those acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf of the disclosing party) as a matter of legal right without contractual or fiduciary restrictions on its disclosure;

17.2.3 was in such party’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure thereof by the disclosing party;

17.4 The parties shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except (a) as such party may reasonably conclude may be required by applicable Law, court process or by

obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system, in which case the receiving party shall give the disclosing party as much advance notice of such disclosure as is reasonably possible and shall otherwise comply with Section 17.3, to the extent applicable, and (b) communications that are substantially similar to communications previously approved pursuant to this Section 17.4 of this Agreement. The initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in a form agreed to by the parties.

17.5 Neither party shall make any Confidential Information available to anyone other than those of its respective employees and advisors who need such Confidential Information to enable them to perform this Agreement.

17.6 These secrecy obligations with respect to the Confidential Information shall, subject to Section 17.2, survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

18. Project Husky. From and after the date hereof and until the earlier of August 23, 2017 and the parties’ entry into definitive agreements with respect thereto, AB and CBA agree to continue to consider and discuss in good faith the implementation of the items set forth on Schedule 18. In addition, at the reasonable request of either party from time to time, the parties shall discuss in good faith other measures proposed by either party to improve efficiencies, reduce costs or otherwise enhance the effectiveness of the parties’ commercial arrangements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the failure by the parties to enter into definitive agreements relating to the items set forth on Schedule 18 or any other matters discussed pursuant to this Section 19 shall in no event be deemed to be a breach of either party’s obligations hereunder or result in any Liability to either party under this Agreement.

19. Master Distributor Agreement. The parties recognize that the financial and operational terms of this Agreement were drafted and will be implemented in the context of an Affiliate of AB acting as the master distributor for CBA in the United States and its territories and possessions and that such terms will not be appropriate or practicable if such U.S. master distribution arrangement is terminated. Accordingly, prior to any exercise by either party of its rights under Section 16.2.2(c) hereof, for a period of not less than sixty (60) days, the parties shall discuss in good faith (a) the feasibility and desirability of continuing the arrangements described in this Agreement in the absence of a U.S. master distribution arrangement between the parties and their respective Affiliates and (b) if the parties determine that continuing the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement is feasible and desirable, any modifications or amendments to this Agreement (including to the Production Price and provisions hereof relating to the delivery and ordering of, and forecasts for, the U.S. Specified Products) that may be necessary or advisable in connection with continuing such arrangements. In the event the Master Distributor Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.03(ii), 7.03(iii) or 7.03(iv) thereof (other than in circumstances where AB exercises its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 16.2.3), the parties will amend the financial and operational terms of this Agreement to give effect to the cessation of the U.S. master distribution arrangement between CBA and AB’s Affiliate.

21.4 Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL ATTACHMENTS HERETO, CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR OR CONTEMPORANEOUS AGREEMENTS IN REGARD THERETO.

21.5 Amendment. This Agreement cannot be altered or modified except by an agreement in writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties and specifically referring to this Agreement.

21.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law or any competent governmental or other authority, the remaining provisions shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms so long as this Agreement without such terms or provisions does not fail in its essential commercial purpose or purposes. The parties will negotiate in good faith to replace any such illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions with suitable substitute provisions that will maintain the economic purposes and intentions of this Agreement.

21.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and shall be the valid and binding agreement of the parties when the counterparts of this Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by each party hereto.

21.8 Headings. The section and subsection headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are in no way intended to define or limit the scope, extent or intent of any provision of this Agreement.

21.9 Mutual Negotiation in Drafting. The parties acknowledge each party and its counsel have materially participated in the drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, the rule of contract interpretation, that ambiguities, if any, in a writing be construed against the drafter, shall not apply.

21.10 Waiver. Failure by either party to insist on strict performance by the other of any term, condition or obligation set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of the same or any similar breach, and no waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless in writing, specifying the provision to be waived.

21.11 Force Majeure. If by reason of Force Majeure either party is unable in whole or in part to carry out any of its agreements contained herein, such party shall not be deemed in default during the continuance of such inability. The term “Force Majeure” as used herein shall mean any cause or event beyond the reasonable control of a party, including but not limited to the following: acts of God; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of public enemies; acts of terrorism; insurrections; riots; landslides; earthquakes; fires; epidemics; storms; droughts, floods or explosions. Each party agrees to notify the other party, in writing, upon

learning of the occurrence of such event of Force Majeure and to remedy with all reasonable dispatch the cause or causes preventing it from carrying out the Agreement and to use commercially reasonable efforts to resume its performance with the least practicable delay.

21.12 Governing Law. This Agreement is entered into in the State of Missouri and will be governed by and construed under the laws of Missouri, including the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State. The parties agree that any legal or equitable action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (or if such court does not have jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in the County of St. Louis, Missouri).

21.13 Other Agreements. It is agreed and understood that CBA and Affiliates of AB are parties to (a) a Master Distributor Agreement whereby an Affiliate of AB is the master distributor of certain of the CBA Products, (b) an International Distribution Agreement whereby an Affiliate of AB is granted exclusive rights to import certain CBA products into certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, (c) an Exchange and Recapitalization Agreement whereby an Affiliate of AB has certain contractual and consent rights in respect of CBA and (d) a Registration Rights Agreement whereby an Affiliate of AB may require CBA to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission the sale of CBA securities held by AB or its Affiliates (the “Registration Rights Agreement” and, together with the Master Distributor Agreement, the International Distribution Agreement and the Exchange and Recapitalization Agreement, the “Additional Agreements”). No provision of this Agreement should be construed as affecting either party’s rights or obligations under any of the Additional Agreements or any other agreement unless this Agreement specifically references such Additional Agreements or such other agreement with respect to such rights and obligations.

The parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
