To the extent that there are no additional Initial Purchasers listed on Schedule I hereto other than you, the terms Representatives and Initial Purchasers as used herein shall mean you, as Initial Purchasers.
The Securities are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of an indenture to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). This Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities, the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) and the Exchange Securities (as defined below) are referred to herein collectively as the “Operative Documents.”

to Rule 415 of the Act relating to the resale by certain holders of the Securities, and in each case, to use its best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective.

Such stabilization, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time and shall be conducted by the Stabilizing Manager in accordance with all applicable laws and directives.

(k) For so long as any of the Securities are outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Act, the Company, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or it is not exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, will provide to each holder of such restricted securities and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of such restricted securities, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act. This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the holders, and the prospective purchasers designated by such holders, from time to time of such restricted securities.
(l) The Company will cooperate with the Representatives and use its best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through Clearstream and Euroclear.
(m) The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Securities on the Official List of the SGX-ST.
(n) Each of the Securities will bear, to the extent applicable, the legend contained in “Transfer Restrictions” in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum for the time period and upon the other terms stated therein.
(o) During the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to and including the Closing Date, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company or warrants to purchase or otherwise acquire debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the Securities (other than (i) the Securities, (ii) the U.S. dollar-denominated notes to be issued by the Company, as described in the Disclosure Package, (iii)

(q) The Company will, for a period of twelve months following the Execution Time, furnish to the Representatives (i) all reports or other communications (financial or other) generally made available to its shareholders, and deliver such reports and communications to the Representatives as soon as they are available, unless such documents are furnished to or filed with the Commission or any securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company is listed and generally made available to the public and (ii) such additional information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company as the Representatives may from time to time reasonably request (such statements to be on a consolidated basis to the extent the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated in reports furnished to its shareholders).
(r) The Company will comply with all applicable securities and other laws, rules and regulations, and use its best efforts to cause the Company’s directors and officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with such laws, rules and regulations.
(s) Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (a) the fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel and accountants to the Company and the Guarantors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum and all amendments and supplements thereto, including all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Initial Purchasers, in the quantities herein above specified, (b) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (c) the cost of printing or producing any Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under state securities laws, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum, (d) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Securities, (e) all fees and expenses related to the listing of the Securities on the Official List of the SGX-ST, (f) the costs and charges of the Trustee and any registrar or depositary and (g) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section, Section 8 entitled “Indemnification and Contribution,” and the last paragraph of Section 7 below, the Initial Purchasers will pay all their own costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel. Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees to pay the costs and expenses of the Company and the Guarantors relating to investor

(t) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in the Disclosure Package and Final Memorandum under the heading “Use of Proceeds”.
(u) The Company shall not invest or otherwise use the proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Securities in such a manner as would require the Company or any of its subsidiaries to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Initial Purchasers. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein at the Execution Time and the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(f) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to (and including) the Closing Date:
(i) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Company’s or the Guarantors’ securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act; and
(ii) there shall not have occurred any adverse change, or any development involving a prospective adverse change, in the business condition, financial condition or results of operations of the Company, the Guarantors and their subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement) that, in the Company’s judgment, is so material and adverse and that makes it, in the Company’s judgment, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum.
(g) The Representatives shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate, dated the Closing Date, and signed by an executive officer of the Company, to the effect set forth in Section 6(f)(i) and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date and that each of the Company and the Guarantors has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or before the Closing Date.
The officer signing and delivering such certificate may rely upon the best of his or her knowledge as to proceedings threatened.
(h) The Representatives shall have received on each of the date hereof and the Closing Date a letter dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants to the Company and its Subsidiaries, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information of the Company and its Subsidiaries contained in, and incorporated by reference into, the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum; provided, however, that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than the third business day prior to the Closing Date.

accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements of MillerCoors and its subsidiaries contained in, and incorporated by reference into, the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum; provided, however, that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than the third business day prior to the Closing Date.
(j) The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall have executed and delivered the Indenture, and the Initial Purchasers shall have received an original copy thereof, duly executed by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee.
(k) No action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any federal, state, foreign or provincial governmental or regulatory authority that would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities by the Company; and no injunction or order of any United States federal or state or court shall have been issued that would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities by the Company.
(l) On or before the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered the Registration Rights Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, and the Initial Purchasers shall have received such executed counterparts.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, this Agreement and all obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be cancelled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.
7. Reimbursement of Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or
because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally on demand for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees:
(i) to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Act) of each Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Initial Purchaser or any such controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Information or any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) with respect to the Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Information or any amendment or supplement thereto, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made in the Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Information or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in Section 13 herein; and
(ii) to reimburse each Initial Purchaser, each Initial Purchasers’ directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates and each such controlling person upon demand for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser, such Initial Purchaser’s director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability, action or proceeding or in responding to a subpoena or governmental inquiry related to the offering of the Securities, whether or not such Initial Purchaser, such Initial Purchaser’s director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person is a party to any action or proceeding. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that the Initial Purchasers were not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses
pursuant to this subparagraph, the Initial Purchasers will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant hereto.
(b) Each Initial Purchaser severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and the Guarantors, each of its directors, each of its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, any Guarantor or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Information or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) with respect to the Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Information or any amendment or supplement thereto, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, any such Guarantor or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that each Initial Purchaser will be liable in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Information or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in Section 13 herein. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that the Company was not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this subparagraph, the Company will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant hereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Initial Purchaser may otherwise have.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 8, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing. No indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or (b) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 8(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the provisions of Section 8(a) or (b). In case any such proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay as incurred the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain
its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as incurred (or within 30 days of presentation) the fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of commencement of the action. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, the indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8(e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discounts and commissions applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser, and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations in this Section 8(e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(f) In any proceeding relating to the Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Information or any supplement or amendment thereto, each party against whom contribution may be sought under this Section 8 hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court having jurisdiction over any other contributing party, agrees that process issuing from such court may be served upon it by any other contributing party and consents to the service of such process and agrees that any other contributing party may join it as an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other contributing party is a party.
(g) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 8 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser, the Company, the Guarantors, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company or the Guarantors, (ii) acceptance of any Securities and payment therefor hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any Initial Purchaser, its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser, or to the Company and the Guarantors, their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company or the Guarantors, shall be entitled
to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 8.
9. Default by an Initial Purchaser. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Company or any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given by you to the Company and the Guarantors, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, the NYSE or the Nasdaq Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company or the Guarantors shall have been suspended on the NYSE or the Toronto Stock Exchange, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities, (iv) a material disruption in the securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses 10(a)(i) through 10(a)(v), such events singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in your judgment, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum.
11. BRRD. (a) Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Agreement or any other agreements, arrangements, or understanding between the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and accept that a BRRD Liability arising under this Agreement may be subject to the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority, and acknowledge, accept and agree to be bound by:
(i) the effect of the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority in relation to any BRRD Liability of an Initial Purchaser to the Company or the Guarantors under this Agreement, that (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof:

(B) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the BRRD Liability into shares, other securities or other obligations of the respective Initial Purchaser or another person, and the issue to or conferral on the Company or the Guarantors of such shares, securities or obligations;
(C) the cancellation of the BRRD Liability;
(D) the amendment or alteration of any interest, if applicable, thereon, the maturity or the dates on which any payments are due, including by suspending payment for a temporary period;
(E) the variation of the terms of this Agreement, as deemed necessary by the Relevant Resolution Authority, to give effect to the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority.

(ii) “Bail-in Powers” means any Write-down and Conversion Powers as defined in the EU Bail-in Legislation Schedule, in relation to the relevant Bail-in Legislation.

(iv) “EU Bail-in Legislation Schedule” means the document described as such, then in effect, and published by the Loan Market Association (or any successor person) from time to time at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/xxxxx.xxxx?xx000.
(v) “BRRD Liability” means a liability in respect of which the relevant Write Down and Conversion Powers in the applicable Bail-in Legislation may be exercised.
(vi) “Relevant Resolution Authority” means the resolution authority with the ability to exercise any Bail-in Powers in relation to the respective Initial Purchaser.
12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or the Company or any of the indemnified persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) shall only be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York, Borough of Manhattan or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York, Borough of Manhattan (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any such court (a “Related Judgment”), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Guarantor not organized in the United States irrevocably appoints Molson Coors Brewing Company as its authorized agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any Related Proceeding that may be instituted in any Specified Court.
17. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
18. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.
19. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
20. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers and any Affiliate through which it may be acting on the other (b) the Initial Purchasers are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company, the Guarantors or any other person and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Initial Purchasers in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company and each Guarantor agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Initial Purchasers has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Guarantor on related or other matters). The Company and each Guarantor agrees that they will not claim that the Initial Purchasers have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, the Guarantors or any other person, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
21. Currency. Each reference in this Agreement to U.S. dollars (the “relevant currency”), including by use of the symbol “$”, is of the essence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of the Company in respect of any amount due under this Agreement will, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the relevant currency that the party entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with its normal procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such party receives such payment. If the amount in the relevant currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company will pay such additional amounts, in the relevant currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of the Company not discharged by such payment will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, will continue in full force and effect.
22. Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Company hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.
23. Waiver of Tax Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, purchasers of the Securities (and each employee, representative or other agent of a purchaser) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of any transaction contemplated herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the purchasers of the Securities relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information
for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.
24. Agreement Among Initial Purchasers. The execution of this Agreement by each Initial Purchaser constitutes the acceptance of each Initial Purchaser of the ICMA Agreement Among Managers Version 1/New York Law Schedule, subject to any amendment notified to the Initial Purchasers in writing at any time prior to the execution of this Agreement. As applicable to the Initial Purchasers, Clause 3 of the ICMA Agreement Among Managers Version 1/New York Schedule shall be deemed to be deleted in its entirety and replaced with Section 9 of this Agreement.
