7. FORCE MAJEURE.

7.1 The Events.

(a) Each party shall be relieved of its obligation to perform any part of this Agreement to the extent its performance is prevented or rendered impracticable by events beyond its reasonable control, which events may include, without limitation, fire, storm, flood, earthquake, and other Acts of God, and explosion, accident, acts of the public enemy, riots and other civil disturbances, sabotage, court injunctions, transportation embargoes, shortages of materials, strikes, lockouts, work stoppages and other labor disputes, acts, regulations or other requirements of domestic or foreign federal, state, county, municipal, or local governments or branches, subdivisions or agencies thereof, including, without limitation, any such acts, regulations or other governmental requirements making it unlawful (such as by an outright ban) or commercially impractical (such as by the imposition or increase of deposit requirements or other action directly or indirectly affecting beer or its packaging) to manufacture or package beer in bottles, or to sell or distribute beer in packaging of any type (the “Force Majeure”), subject to the various limitations provided in this Section 7. Force Majeure shall further include, without limitation, any imposition or increase of any excise tax or similar charge by any governmental authority on the manufacture, packaging, possession, storage, sale or distribution of beer, and AB’s obligations to purchase shall be deemed to have been rendered impracticable thereby, without any direct proof of causation, to the extent that there is any decrease in the demand of beer manufactured, sold or distributed by AB after such Force Majeure event occurs.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anchor acknowledges that Force Majeure will not include a strike, lockout, work stoppage or other labor dispute affecting any of the Production Facilities, and in the event of such a labor dispute at any of the Production Facilities, Anchor agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to operate any affected Production Facility with management or other personnel to the full extent necessary to satisfy the Requirements.

(c) Anchor agrees that if picketing, a work stoppage, a strike or any refusal to work of or by any of AB’s employees or any employees of any AB contractor occurs at one or more of the Breweries or any other facilities owned or operated by AB, Anchor shall still cause deliveries of Bottles to continue to the Breweries as otherwise required hereunder, but if any of the carriers transporting the Bottles to the Breweries express concern to AB about the safety of their drivers or their equipment at the Breweries during any such AB labor dispute, AB shall take all actions reasonably necessary to insure the safety of such drivers and equipment once they reach the Breweries.

7.2 Notice.

(a) Each party will immediately notify the other party of the occurrence of any Force Majeure that may affect its performance of this Agreement.


***	Portions hereof and portions of the exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment in accordance with Rule 24-b.

(b) If any Force Majeure event occurs affecting one or more Production Facilities or deliveries, Anchor will:

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Bottles to AB from the affected Production Facilities;

(iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Bottles to AB which Anchor is not able to supply from Production Facilities affected by the Force Majeure from Production Facilities and/or other Anchor bottle production facilities not affected by the Force Majeure; and

(iv) give AB priority of production from each of the Production Facilities and each of Anchor’s other bottle production facilities and their respective equipment and furnaces, so long as such actions by Anchor are not in violation of any agreements Anchor is a party to as of the date of this Agreement.

(e) If a Force Majeure event occurs affecting a particular Brewery, AB will use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate to Anchor Bottle requirements at other Brewery locations, subject to AB’s other contractual commitments.

7.3 Rights. If Anchor’s performance hereunder is suspended due to Force Majeure, then AB shall have, in addition to such other rights which it may have as a buyer under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, the right to procure alternative sources of Bottle supply on commercially reasonable terms with respect to all Bottles not delivered by Anchor because of the Force Majeure, which may require an alternative Bottle purchase commitment by AB for a period of time which extends beyond the Force Majeure affecting Anchor. Any such alternative purchases of Bottles by AB shall be applied to its obligation to purchase the Requirements.

Nothing in this Section shall limit the rights otherwise available to a party arising from the breach of the provisions hereof.

8.4 Supplier Certification Requirements.

(a) Anchor agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to achieve “Select Status” at each Production Facility by * * * “Select Status” is described in the Supplier Certification Program attached to this Agreement as Attachment 8.4(a). Anchor agrees that the Supplier Certification Program may be revised from time to time after October 31, 2003 in accordance with the rules regarding Specification changes set forth in Section 3.3(a) and for the purposes of this Section 8.4(a) only all references in Section 3.3(a) to “Specifications” shall be deemed to mean the “Supplier Certification Program.” If the terms of the Supplier Certification Program are changed pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence or otherwise through mutual agreement of the parties, the target date of * * * may be revised accordingly.

(b) AB agrees that any failure of Anchor to achieve Select Status at either or both of the Production Facilities shall not be considered a material breach of this Agreement giving rise to a right by AB to terminate this Agreement.

(c) AB may, upon notice to Anchor, terminate or phase out AB’s purchase of Bottles from any Production Facility that fails to achieve Select Status by * * * or by such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties as a result of an amendment to the terms of the Supplier Certification Program, or fails to maintain Select Status after achieving it if (i) such failure is a result of Anchor ceasing to make reasonable efforts to attain or maintain Select Status at such Production Facility after Anchor receives notice from AB and has a reasonable opportunity to cure, or (ii) such failure is based on a deficiency which may reasonably be expected to adversely affect the quality, flavor, or safety characteristics of the Bottles being delivered to AB from such Production Facility. In such event, Anchor may replace such Bottles with deliveries from another approved Production Facility, provided that AB shall not be required to pay any additional charge for transportation, storage or delivery from such alternative Production Facility. * * *

8.5 Facilities Management Requirements.

(a) Each Production Facility and each warehouse used by Anchor to store Bottles is subject to inspection by AB, as further provided in Section 10 below. AB will determine a Facility Management Inspection Score for each Production Facility and each warehouse used to store Bottles after each inspection, based on the criteria stated in Attachment 8.5(a). AB shall be entitled to make any change to the criteria after October 31, 2003 so long as the change is reasonably related to improving the quality, flavor or safety characteristics of Bottles delivered to AB and the rules regarding Specification changes set forth in Section 3.3(a) are adhered to (in which event, for the purposes of this Section 8.5(a) only, all references in Section 3.3(a) to “Specifications” shall be deemed to mean the criteria stated in Attachment 8.5(a)).

(b) In addition to Anchor’s duty to achieve and maintain Select Status at each Production Facility, as set forth in Section 8.4 above (which Select Status is based, in part, on the Facility Management Inspection Score), AB may, upon notice to Anchor, terminate or phase-out its purchases of Bottles from any Production Facility based upon (i) a deficiency noted during any AB inspection which may reasonably be expected to adversely affect the quality, flavor, or safety characteristics of any of the Bottles being delivered to AB from such Production Facility or from the warehouse servicing such Production Facility, or (ii) Anchor ceasing to make reasonable efforts towards continuous improvements in their Facility Management Inspection Score at such Production Facility or such warehouse after being notified by AB and given a reasonable opportunity to cure.

(c) If AB exercises its right to terminate or phase-out purchases of Bottles from any Production Facility pursuant to the terms of Section 8.5(b), Anchor may replace such lost deliveries of bottles in the manner provided in Section 8.4(c) above, * * *

(d) Anchor acknowledges the stringent appearance standards maintained by AB with respect to not only its own facilities, but also those of its suppliers. Anchor accordingly agrees to ensure that each of the Production Facilities, the delivery vehicles used to deliver Bottles to any of the Breweries, and each of the warehouses used to store Bottles prior to such delivery are each maintained using the highest practicable standards for sanitation and housekeeping. Anchor further agrees to ensure that such delivery vehicles, such warehouses, and each of the Production Facilities are each maintained so that they present a clean, high quality appearance. Anchor further agrees to cause each individual working in a warehouse in which Bottles are stored by Anchor or any of its contractors from time to time prior to delivery to a Brewery, to represent to AB in a writing in the form of Attachment 8.5(d) that they have not in any way tampered with any of the Bottles in an effort to contaminate or make such Bottles unsafe or anything other than in compliance with the Specifications.

8.6 Universal Quality Standards.

(a) AB maintains a quality measure for each production facility (whether or not owned or operated by Anchor) supplying Bottles to AB’s domestic breweries which, without limitation, takes into account the number, frequency, and severity of each of the following regarding the applicable production facility and the Bottles such production facility


***	Portions hereof and portions of the exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment in accordance with Rule 24-b.

delivers to one or more AB breweries: (i) defective material reports, (ii) consumer complaints, (iii) downtime experienced at the AB breweries receiving Bottle deliveries from the applicable production facility, (iv) Bottles that are not in accordance with the Specifications, (v) defects in materials and workmanship, and (vi) flavor, health, sanitation, and safety issues. A weighted average of the quality measure is prepared by AB on a monthly basis based on the volume of Bottles supplied by each such production facility (the “Weighted Average Quality Measure”).

(b) Without limiting the terms of Sections 4, 8.4 or 8.5 or any of AB’s rights and remedies thereunder, Anchor agrees that beginning in Contract Year * * * and at all times thereafter during the Term the quality measure determined by AB on a monthly basis for each Production Facility (in each case, a “Production Facility Quality Measure”) will equal or exceed the Weighted Average Quality Measure in effect at the time. If Anchor receives written notice from AB that a Production Facility Quality Measure for one or both of the Production Facilities is less than the applicable Weighted Average Quality Measure, Anchor will have nine months from its receipt of said notice to raise and maintain the quality of the Production Facility or Facilities in question to a level that is equal to or above the applicable Weighted Average Quality Measure.

(c) If Anchor fails to satisfy its obligations specified Section 8.6(b), Anchor agrees to meet with AB promptly thereafter and negotiate in good faith reasonable remedies in favor of AB including, without limitation, delivery of Bottles required under this Agreement from one or more alternate Anchor production facilities (other than the Production Facility or Facilities with quality issues) at the same Selling Price AB would have paid if the Bottles had been delivered from the Production Facility or Facilities experiencing quality issues.

9. AUDITS.

9.1 Scope of the Audits; Auditors. Each party shall have the right to audit information (i) used to determine the Selling Price and any changes to it and its constituent components including, without limitation, all information necessary to determine whether the terms of Section 3 (and each of the sections and subsections thereunder) have been fully complied with, (ii) pertaining to improper payments referred to in Section 16.5 below, and (iii) provided by the other party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in addition to the information specified in subsections (i) and (ii) above. All audits shall be performed by a nationally recognized public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the parties, or in the absence of other agreement between the parties, PriceWaterhouseCoopers (the “Auditor”).

9.2 Costs. The full cost of any audit shall be borne by the requesting party, unless a “material discrepancy” adverse to the requesting party is uncovered by the audit and such material discrepancy is caused by the actions of the other party or the other party’s failure to act; in which case the audited party shall then bear 100% of the cost of the audit. A “material discrepancy” shall be any discrepancy or group of discrepancies which, in the aggregate for any one audit, would result in a payment by one party to the other of an amount equal to or greater than $25,000 or an adjustment in what one party owes to the other under this Agreement in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000.


***	Portions hereof and portions of the exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment in accordance with Rule 24-b.

9.3 Maintenance of Records. Each party shall maintain records in sufficient detail to permit an acceptable audit, and, without limiting the foregoing, shall maintain each such record (i) for one full year after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement and (ii) for so long as any audit pertaining to such record is pending. The Auditor shall be given access to any and all records that it deems necessary to conduct the audit.

9.4 Notice. Prior to requesting an audit, the requesting party shall notify the other party of its intent to exercise its audit rights. The other party shall then be allowed a reasonable amount of time (not to exceed 30 days) to explain/resolve the question to the satisfaction of the requesting party, and thus eliminate the need for an audit.

9.5 Audit Procedures. If the requesting party is not satisfied with the explanation provided by the other party pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 and determines that an audit should be conducted, the parties shall in good faith make reasonable efforts to mutually agree upon a joint letter of instruction for the Auditor which shall describe the format and procedure the Auditor shall undertake and the documents it will examine in the course of its audit. If the parties are unable to agree on the terms of the letter of instruction, the Auditor shall make its examination and determination in accordance with written instructions provided by the requesting party. A copy of said written instruction shall be provided to the other party no later than five (5) business days prior to the Auditor commencing its audit; provided that, prior to commencing such audit, the Auditor shall have agreed to hold in confidence and not disclose to anyone, including the other party, unless required by law, any of the information that the parties have designated in writing as confidential. Each party is obligated to furnish or make available to the Auditor such information in the party’s possession as is required in the Auditor’s reasonable opinion to conduct the audit. The Auditor shall provide both parties with a final written conclusion of compliance or noncompliance and the amount of the discrepancy, if any, but shall not otherwise disclose any confidential information of either party. If the Auditor discovers any discrepancy, the Auditor’s conclusions shall specify the amount owed to AB or Anchor, and, in either event, a general statement as to the basis for the discrepancy.

9.6 Survival of Rights. The provisions of this Section 9 shall expressly survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

10. PLANT VISITS.

Such employees and representatives shall have full access to all phases of operation but shall not unreasonably interfere with Anchor’s operations. All such employees and representatives shall abide by all applicable rules and regulations of the Production Facilities with respect to visitors.

***	Portions hereof and portions of the exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment in accordance with Rule 24-b.

any public offering of Anchor’s equity securities nor shall it be triggered by any sale, conveyance, or assignment of some or all of Anchor’s equity securities to a third party or a group that (A) is a shareholder or Affiliate of Anchor as of October 31, 2003, (B) is specified in Attachment 16.2(a) of this Agreement, and (C) is a shareholder or Affiliate of Anchor at the time of any such sale, conveyance or assignment, (ii) Anchor or any Affiliate of Anchor consolidates with, merges into, becomes an Affiliate of, or acquires a controlling interest in (A) any other corporation (or other form of business organization) which is a competitor of AB by engaging in any of the following lines of business: production, marketing or distribution of any brand of beverage products or the operation of public entertainment parks, or (B) any producer of Beverage Bottles which has production facilities situated in the United States; (iii) Anchor or any Affiliate of Anchor consolidates with or merges into, or becomes an Affiliate of any other corporation (or other form of business organization) the result of which is a change in Anchor ‘s financial condition which materially adversely affects Anchor’s ability to perform this Agreement; or (iv) Anchor sells, leases or otherwise transfers full or partial control or ownership of any Production Facility to any third party which is not an Affiliate of Anchor; provided, however, that Anchor shall be entitled to engage in a sale and leaseback transaction involving one or more of the Production Facilities with one or more financial institutions without AB being entitled to invoke its rights under this Section.

(b) In addition to the rights granted under sub-section (a) above, AB shall have a sixty (60) day right of first refusal prior to any sale or transfer to a third party by Anchor of either Production Facility (either directly or as a part of a larger transaction involving the stock or additional assets of Anchor or any of its Affiliates). Anchor may not accept any offer of any third party to purchase either of the Production Facilities (independently or as part of a larger transaction) until AB has had sixty (60) days within which it may exercise its right of first refusal in accordance with this Section 16.2(b). Anchor shall require any third party proposing to purchase the Production Facilities to submit either (i) a written offer for one or both of the Production Facilities, independent of other assets or interests of Anchor or its Affiliates, or (ii) dual offers for the stock or assets of Anchor that in the alternative would include assets in addition to the Production Facilities or an offer for the other assets or the stock of Anchor which excludes both Production Facilities. In that event, the price to AB for the Production Facilities for purposes of its exercise of this right of first refusal shall be the difference between the two prices offered for Anchor or its assets, either including or excluding the Production Facilities. Any non-monetary portion of the amount offered consideration which is impossible or impractical for AB to perform or otherwise satisfy shall be valued at its fair market value, and such amount shall be added to the monetary portion of such third party’s offer for purposes of determining the amount of AB’s right of first refusal. AB shall have a period of sixty (60) days after receiving such offer to notify Anchor that AB is electing to purchase the Production Facilities at the proposed price, as adjusted, if necessary, as described above, and in accordance with all other applicable terms and conditions of such offer. If AB does not notify Anchor of its exercise of such right of first refusal, Anchor shall be free to complete the sale of the Production Facilities to such third party in accordance with the particulars of such offer, as disclosed to AB.

16.3 Insurance.

Such insurance shall contain a “separation of insureds” endorsement, a “severability of interests” endorsement, or an equivalent endorsement. To the extent any such coverage is written on a claims-made basis, it shall have a retroactive date no later than the start of this Agreement and notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, shall allow for reporting of claims until at least 2 years beyond the expiration of this Agreement, either directly or through “tail” coverage purchased at the sole cost and expense of Anchor.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement, Anchor shall provide AB with a certificate from its licensed insurance broker evidencing the foregoing coverages effective as of the start of this Agreement, and providing that AB shall be given at least thirty (30) days notice of cancellation, non-renewal or restrictive endorsement with respect to any of the foregoing coverages. Anchor shall provide AB with similar certificates evidencing renewal of such coverage prior to the expiration of any such policies of insurance,


***	Portions hereof and portions of the exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment in accordance with Rule 24-b.

and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to provide such certificates at least thirty (30) days or more prior to expiration of the applicable coverage.

16.4 Efforts to Minimize Costs.

(a) Anchor shall at all times use reasonable diligence to seek and procure its requirements of all materials and equipment at the lowest available prices (taking into account all relevant factors, including quality and service), and shall likewise minimize all plant costs in a manner consistent with prudent management practices, including, without limitation, adherence to total quality management practices and statistical process control.

(b) The long-term objective of AB and Anchor is to implement any cost saving measures that result in declining costs over the life of the Agreement and beyond. To accomplish the goal, joint “Cost Reduction Teams” will be formed between AB and Anchor to study areas of cost and recommend changes to reduce the costs. Any savings generated will be distributed as agreed to by Anchor and AB’s Corporate Purchasing Department.

16.5 Improper Payments. Anchor hereby warrants that no payments have been or shall be made, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of Anchor to or for the benefit of any AB employee or agent who may reasonably be expected to influence the decision to purchase Bottles. As used herein “payments” shall include money, property, services and all other forms of consideration. AB may verify this warranty in accordance with the audit provisions in Section 9 above.

16.6 Cullet. Anchor shall offer AB (or its designated Affiliate) the opportunity to sell cullet to Anchor at market prices, so long as such sales do not conflict with Anchor’s cutlet supply agreements in effect on the date hereof, or with Anchor’s internal cullet supply system, and so long as Anchor is then buying cullet.

16.7 One Agreement. Anchor acknowledges that AB’s purchase of Bottles from Anchor under this Agreement and under the December 2000 Agreement are considered, discussed, negotiated, and administrated by Anchor and AB as one agreement instead of two separate agreements. Accordingly, Anchor and AB each acknowledge and agree that in addition to any other rights of set off or recoupment that AB may have against Anchor, AB is authorized, without notice to Anchor (any such notice being expressly waived by Anchor), to set off and apply against amounts that may become payable by Anchor to AB under this Agreement, any present or future amounts owing by AB to Anchor that arise under this Agreement or any other present or future agreements between AB and Anchor including, without limitation, the December 2000 Agreement.

19.1 Guiding Principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement (in each case a “Dispute”) shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 19, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such Disputes; provided, however, that a party, without prejudice to the procedures set forth below, may file a complaint to seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional judicial relief, if in its sole judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo. Despite such action the parties will continue to participate in good faith using the procedures specified in this Section 19. All negotiations and proceedings pursuant to this Section 19, other than litigation, are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in this Section 19 are pending. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling. Other than as required or permitted by a court order, each party will continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any Dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

19.2 Procedures.

19.2.1. The parties shall attempt settlement of each Dispute through good faith friendly consultations. If no settlement can be reached through such consultations within sixty (60) days after either party has notified the other party in writing of the existence of a Dispute, then either party may exercise its right to seek resolution of the Dispute through mediation pursuant to the terms of Section 19.2.2 below by notifying the other party in writing within thirty (30) days after expiration of the aforementioned sixty (60) day period.

19.2.2. If one party chooses to mediate the Dispute in accordance with the terms of Section 19.2.1, the parties shall mutually endeavor to settle the Dispute by confidential mediation with reasonable promptness under the then current CPR Mediation Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties will select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Neutrals and shall notify CPR to initiate the selection process.

19.2.3. If the mediation specified in Section 19.2.2 fails, then either party may pursue any remedy available to it at law or in equity.

20. MISCELLANEOUS.

20.1 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability of any jurisdiction shall not of itself invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
